70aa6146	2017-12-05T08:48:31	cmake: allow explicitly choosing SHA1 backend Right now, if SHA1DC is disabled, the SHA1 backend is mostly chosen based on which system libgit2 is being compiled on and which libraries have been found. To give developers and distributions more choice, enable them to request specific backends by passing in a `-DSHA1_BACKEND=<BACKEND>` option instead. This completely replaces the previous auto-selection.
e7495ce6	2017-12-05T08:47:57	cmake: default to using SHA1DC Upstream git.git has changed their default SHA1 implementation to the collision-detection algorithm SHA1DC in commit e6b07da27 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default, 2017-03-17). To match upstream, align ourselves and switch over to SHA1DC by default.

d8896bda	2018-01-03T16:07:36	diff_generate: avoid excessive stats of .gitattribute files When generating a diff between two trees, for each file that is to be diffed we have to determine whether it shall be treated as text or as binary files. While git has heuristics to determine which kind of diff to generate, users can also that default behaviour by setting or unsetting the 'diff' attribute for specific files. Because of that, we have to query gitattributes in order to determine how to diff the current files. Instead of hitting the '.gitattributes' file every time we need to query an attribute, which can get expensive especially on networked file systems, we try to cache them instead. This works perfectly fine for every '.gitattributes' file that is found, but we hit cache invalidation problems when we determine that an attribuse file is _not_ existing. We do create an entry in the cache for missing '.gitattributes' files, but as soon as we hit that file again we invalidate it and stat it again to see if it has now appeared. In the case of diffing large trees with each other, this behaviour is very suboptimal. For each pair of files that is to be diffed, we will repeatedly query every directory component leading towards their respective location for an attributes file. This leads to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wasted syscalls. The attributes cache already has a mechanism to help in that scenario in form of the `git_attr_session`. As long as the same attributes session is still active, we will not try to re-query the gitmodules files at all but simply retain our currently cached results. To fix our problem, we can create a session at the top-most level, which is the initialization of the `git_diff` structure, and use it in order to look up the correct diff driver. As the `git_diff` structure is used to generate patches for multiple files at once, this neatly solves our problem by retaining the session until patches for all files have been generated. The fix has been tested with linux.git by calling `git_diff_tree_to_tree` and `git_diff_to_buf` with v4.10^{tree} and v4.14^{tree}. \| time \| .gitattributes stats without fix \| 33.201s \| 844614 with fix \| 30.327s \| 4441 While execution only improved by roughly 10%, the stat(3) syscalls for .gitattributes files decreased by 99.5%. The benchmarks were quite simple with best-of-three timings on Linux ext4 systems. One can assume that for network based file systems the performance gain will be a lot larger due to a much higher latency.

ba56f781	2018-01-03T12:54:42	streams: openssl: fix thread-safety for OpenSSL error messages The function `ERR_error_string` can be invoked without providing a buffer, in which case OpenSSL will simply return a string printed into a static buffer. Obviously and as documented in ERR_error_string(3), this is not thread-safe at all. As libgit2 is a library, though, it is easily possible that other threads may be using OpenSSL at the same time, which might lead to clobbered error strings. Fix the issue by instead using a stack-allocated buffer. According to the documentation, the caller has to provide a buffer of at least 256 bytes of size. While we do so, make sure that the buffer will never get overflown by switching to `ERR_error_string_n` to specify the buffer's size.
75e1737a	2017-12-08T10:10:19	hash: openssl: check return values of SHA1_* functions The OpenSSL functions `SHA1_Init`, `SHA1_Update` and `SHA1_Final` all return 1 for success and 0 otherwise, but we never check their return values. Do so.
5874e151	2017-11-20T13:26:33	tests: create new test target for all SSH-based tests Some tests shall be run against our own SSH server we spin up in Travis. As those need to be run separate from our previous tests which run against git-daemon, we have to do this in a separate step. Instead of bundling all that knowledge in the CI script, move it into the test build instructions by creating a new test target.
54a1bf05	2017-06-07T13:06:53	tests: online::clone: inline creds-test with nonexistent URL Right now, we test our credential callback code twice, once via SSH on localhost and once via a non-existent GitHub repository. While the first URL makes sense to be configurable, it does not make sense to hard-code the non-existing repository, which requires us to call tests multiple times. Instead, we can just inline the URL into another set of tests.
fea60920	2017-06-07T12:48:48	tests: online::clone: construct credential-URL from environment We support two types of passing credentials to the proxy, either via the URL or explicitly by specifying user and password. We test these types by modifying the proxy URL and executing the tests twice, which is in fact unnecessary and requires us to maintain the list of environment variables and test executions across multiple CI infrastructures. To fix the situation, we can just always pass the host, port, user and password to the tests. The tests can then assemble the complete URL either with or without included credentials, allowing us to test both cases in-process.
543ec149	2017-06-07T11:06:01	tests: perf: build but exclude performance tests by default Our performance tests (or to be more concrete, our single performance test) are not built by default, as they are always #ifdef'd out. While it is true that we don't want to run performance tests by default, not compiling them at all may cause code rot and is thus an unfavorable approach to handle this. We can easily improve this situation: this commit removes the #ifdef, causing the code to always be compiled. Furthermore, we add `-xperf` to the default command line parameters of `generate.py`, thus causing the tests to be excluded by default. Due to this approach, we are now able to execute the performance tests by passing `-sperf` to `libgit2_clar`. Unfortunately, we cannot execute the performance tests on Travis or AppVeyor as they rely on history being available for the libgit2 repository. As both do a shallow clone only, though, this is not given.
9aba7636	2017-06-07T10:59:31	tests: iterator_helpers: assert number of iterator items When the function `expect_iterator_items` surpasses the number of expected items, we simply break the loop. This causes us to trigger an assert later on which has message attached, which is annoying when trying to locate the root error cause. Instead, directly assert that the current count is still smaller or equal to the expected count inside of the loop.
72c28ab0	2017-06-07T10:59:03	tests: status::worktree: indicate skipped tests on Win32 Some function bodies of tests which are not applicable to the Win32 platform are completely #ifdef'd out instead of calling `cl_skip()`. This leaves us with no indication that these tests are not being executed at all and may thus cause decreased scrutiny when investigating skipped tests. Improve the situation by calling `cl_skip()` instead of just doing nothing.
8999f6ac	2017-06-07T11:01:28	travis: build sources with tracing enabled Our tracing architecture is not built by default, causing the Travis CI to not execute some code and skip several tests. As AppVeyor has already enabled the tracing architecture when building the code, we should do the same for Travis CI to have this code being tested on macOS and Linux. Add "-DENABLE_TRACE=ON" to our release-build options of Travis.
b8c14499	2017-06-07T11:00:26	tests: iterator::workdir: fix reference count in stale test The test `iterator::workdir::filesystem_gunk` is usually not executed, as it is guarded by the environment variable "GITTEST_INVASIVE_SPEED" due to its effects on speed. As such, it has become stale and does not account for new references which have meanwhile been added to the testrepo, causing it to fail. Fix this by raising the number of expected references to 15.

c3514b0b	2017-12-23T14:59:07	Fix unpack double free If an element has been cached, but then the call to packfile_unpack_compressed() fails, the very next thing that happens is that its data is freed and then the element is not removed from the cache, which frees the data again. This change sets obj->data to NULL to avoid the double-free. It also stops trying to resolve deltas after two continuous failed rounds of resolution, and adds a test for this.

456e5218	2017-12-20T16:13:31	tests: add GITTEST_SLOW env var check Writing very large files may be slow, particularly on inefficient filesystems and when running instrumented code to detect invalid memory accesses (eg within valgrind or similar tools). Introduce `GITTEST_SLOW` so that tests that are slow can be skipped by the CI system.

8642feba	2017-12-10T17:23:44	zstream: use UINT_MAX sized chunks Instead of paging to zlib in INT_MAX sized chunks, we can give it as many as UINT_MAX bytes at a time. zlib doesn't care how big a buffer we give it, this simply results in fewer calls into zlib.
ddefea75	2017-11-30T15:55:59	odb: support large loose objects zlib will only inflate/deflate an `int`s worth of data at a time. We need to loop through large files in order to ensure that we inflate the entire file, not just an `int`s worth of data. Thankfully, we already have this loop in our `git_zstream` layer. Handle large objects using the `git_zstream`.
d1e44655	2017-11-30T15:52:47	object: introduce git_object_stringn2type Introduce an internal API to get the object type based on a length-specified (not null terminated) string representation. This can be used to compare the (space terminated) object type name in a loose object. Reimplement `git_object_string2type` based on this API.
dacc3291	2017-11-30T15:49:05	odb: test loose reading/writing large objects Introduce a test for very large objects in the ODB. Write a large object (5 GB) and ensure that the write succeeds and provides us the expected object ID. Introduce a test that writes that file and ensures that we can subsequently read it.
86219f40	2017-11-30T15:40:13	util: introduce `git__prefixncmp` and consolidate implementations Introduce `git_prefixncmp` that will search up to the first `n` characters of a string to see if it is prefixed by another string. This is useful for examining if a non-null terminated character array is prefixed by a particular substring. Consolidate the various implementations of `git__prefixcmp` around a single core implementation and add some test cases to validate its behavior.
b7d36ef4	2017-12-12T12:24:11	zstream: treat `Z_BUF_ERROR` as non-fatal zlib will return `Z_BUF_ERROR` whenever there is more input to inflate or deflate than there is output to store the result. This is normal for us as we iterate through the input, particularly with very large input buffers.

2388a9e2	2017-12-15T10:47:01	diff_file: properly refcount blobs when initializing file contents When initializing a `git_diff_file_content` from a source whose data is derived from a blob, we simply assign the blob's pointer to the resulting struct without incrementing its refcount. Thus, the structure can only be used as long as the blob is kept alive by the caller. Fix the issue by using `git_blob_dup` instead of a direct assignment. This function will increment the refcount of the blob without allocating new memory, so it does exactly what we want. As `git_diff_file_content__unload` already frees the blob when `GIT_DIFF_FLAG__FREE_BLOB` is set, we don't need to add new code handling the free but only have to set that flag correctly.

2d2e70f8	2017-11-30T18:10:28	openssl: fix thread-safety on non-glibc POSIX systems While the OpenSSL library provides all means to work safely in a multi-threaded application, we fail to do so correctly. Quoting from crypto_lock(3): OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and threadid_func. We do in fact provide the means to set up the locking function via `git_openssl_set_locking()`, where we initialize a set of locks by using the POSIX threads API and set the correct callback function to lock and unlock them. But what we do not do is setting the `threadid_func` callback. This function is being used to correctly locate thread-local data of the OpenSSL library and should thus return per-thread identifiers. Digging deeper into OpenSSL's documentation, the library does provide a fallback in case that locking function is not provided by the user. On Windows and BeOS we should be safe, as it simply "uses the system's default thread identifying API". On other platforms though OpenSSL will fall back to using the address of `errno`, assuming it is thread-local. While this assumption holds true for glibc-based systems, POSIX in fact does not specify whether it is thread-local or not. Quoting from errno(3p): It is unspecified whether errno is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. And in fact, with musl there is at least one libc implementation which simply declares `errno` as a simple `int` without being thread-local. On those systems, the fallback threadid function of OpenSSL will not be thread-safe. Fix this by setting up our own callback for this setting. As users of libgit2 may want to set it themselves, we obviously cannot always set that function on initialization. But as we already set up primitives for threading in `git_openssl_set_locking()`, this function becomes the obvious choice where to implement the additional setup.
5ca3f115	2017-11-30T15:12:48	diff_generate: fix unsetting diff flags The macro `DIFF_FLAG_SET` can be used to set or unset a flag by modifying the diff's bitmask. While the case of setting the flag is handled correctly, the case of unsetting the flag was not. Instead of inverting the flags, we are inverting the value which is used to decide whether we want to set or unset the bits. The value being used here is a simple `bool` which is `false`. As that is being uplifted to `int` when getting the bitwise-complement, we will end up retaining all bits inside of the bitmask. As that's only ever used to set `GIT_DIFF_IGNORE_CASE`, we were actually always ignoring case for generated diffs. Fix that by instead getting the bitwise-complement of `FLAG`, not `VAL`.
90fc7f53	2017-11-30T15:09:05	diff: remove unused macros `DIFF_FLAG_*` In commit 9be638ecf (git_diff_generated: abstract generated diffs, 2016-04-19), the code for generated diffs was moved out of the generic "diff.c" and instead into its own module. During that conversion, it was forgotten to remove the macros `DIFF_FLAG_IS_SET`, `DIFF_FLAG_ISNT_SET` and `DIFF_FLAG_SET`, which are now only used in "diff_generated.c". Remove those macros now.

585b5dac	2017-11-18T15:43:11	refcount: make refcounting conform to aliasing rules Strict aliasing rules dictate that for most data types, you are not allowed to cast them to another data type and then access the casted pointers. While this works just fine for most compilers, technically we end up in undefined behaviour when we hurt that rule. Our current refcounting code makes heavy use of casting and thus violates that rule. While we didn't have any problems with that code, Travis started spitting out a lot of warnings due to a change in their toolchain. In the refcounting case, the code is also easy to fix: as all refcounting-statements are actually macros, we can just access the `rc` field directly instead of casting. There are two outliers in our code where that doesn't work. Both the `git_diff` and `git_patch` structures have specializations for generated and parsed diffs/patches, which directly inherit from them. Because of that, the refcounting code is only part of the base structure and not of the children themselves. We can help that by instead passing their base into `GIT_REFCOUNT_INC`, though.

cmake: allow explicitly choosing SHA1 backend Right now, if SHA1DC is disabled, the SHA1 backend is mostly chosen based on which system libgit2 is being compiled on and which libraries have been found. To give developers and distributions more choice, enable them to request specific backends by passing in a `-DSHA1_BACKEND=<BACKEND>` option instead. This completely replaces the previous auto-selection.

d8896bda

diff_generate: avoid excessive stats of .gitattribute files When generating a diff between two trees, for each file that is to be diffed we have to determine whether it shall be treated as text or as binary files. While git has heuristics to determine which kind of diff to generate, users can also that default behaviour by setting or unsetting the 'diff' attribute for specific files. Because of that, we have to query gitattributes in order to determine how to diff the current files. Instead of hitting the '.gitattributes' file every time we need to query an attribute, which can get expensive especially on networked file systems, we try to cache them instead. This works perfectly fine for every '.gitattributes' file that is found, but we hit cache invalidation problems when we determine that an attribuse file is _not_ existing. We do create an entry in the cache for missing '.gitattributes' files, but as soon as we hit that file again we invalidate it and stat it again to see if it has now appeared. In the case of diffing large trees with each other, this behaviour is very suboptimal. For each pair of files that is to be diffed, we will repeatedly query every directory component leading towards their respective location for an attributes file. This leads to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of wasted syscalls. The attributes cache already has a mechanism to help in that scenario in form of the `git_attr_session`. As long as the same attributes session is still active, we will not try to re-query the gitmodules files at all but simply retain our currently cached results. To fix our problem, we can create a session at the top-most level, which is the initialization of the `git_diff` structure, and use it in order to look up the correct diff driver. As the `git_diff` structure is used to generate patches for multiple files at once, this neatly solves our problem by retaining the session until patches for all files have been generated. The fix has been tested with linux.git by calling `git_diff_tree_to_tree` and `git_diff_to_buf` with v4.10^{tree} and v4.14^{tree}. | time | .gitattributes stats without fix | 33.201s | 844614 with fix | 30.327s | 4441 While execution only improved by roughly 10%, the stat(3) syscalls for .gitattributes files decreased by 99.5%. The benchmarks were quite simple with best-of-three timings on Linux ext4 systems. One can assume that for network based file systems the performance gain will be a lot larger due to a much higher latency.

streams: openssl: fix thread-safety for OpenSSL error messages The function `ERR_error_string` can be invoked without providing a buffer, in which case OpenSSL will simply return a string printed into a static buffer. Obviously and as documented in ERR_error_string(3), this is not thread-safe at all. As libgit2 is a library, though, it is easily possible that other threads may be using OpenSSL at the same time, which might lead to clobbered error strings. Fix the issue by instead using a stack-allocated buffer. According to the documentation, the caller has to provide a buffer of at least 256 bytes of size. While we do so, make sure that the buffer will never get overflown by switching to `ERR_error_string_n` to specify the buffer's size.

As those need to be run separate from our previous tests which run against git-daemon, we have to do this in a separate step. Instead of bundling all that knowledge in the CI script, move it into the test build instructions by creating a new test target.

tests: online::clone: inline creds-test with nonexistent URL Right now, we test our credential callback code twice, once via SSH on localhost and once via a non-existent GitHub repository. While the first URL makes sense to be configurable, it does not make sense to hard-code the non-existing repository, which requires us to call tests multiple times. Instead, we can just inline the URL into another set of tests.

tests: online::clone: construct credential-URL from environment We support two types of passing credentials to the proxy, either via the URL or explicitly by specifying user and password. We test these types by modifying the proxy URL and executing the tests twice, which is in fact unnecessary and requires us to maintain the list of environment variables and test executions across multiple CI infrastructures. To fix the situation, we can just always pass the host, port, user and password to the tests. The tests can then assemble the complete URL either with or without included credentials, allowing us to test both cases in-process.

tests: perf: build but exclude performance tests by default Our performance tests (or to be more concrete, our single performance test) are not built by default, as they are always #ifdef'd out. While it is true that we don't want to run performance tests by default, not compiling them at all may cause code rot and is thus an unfavorable approach to handle this. We can easily improve this situation: this commit removes the #ifdef, causing the code to always be compiled. Furthermore, we add `-xperf` to the default command line parameters of `generate.py`, thus causing the tests to be excluded by default. Due to this approach, we are now able to execute the performance tests by passing `-sperf` to `libgit2_clar`. Unfortunately, we cannot execute the performance tests on Travis or AppVeyor as they rely on history being available for the libgit2 repository. As both do a shallow clone only, though, this is not given.

tests: iterator_helpers: assert number of iterator items When the function `expect_iterator_items` surpasses the number of expected items, we simply break the loop. This causes us to trigger an assert later on which has message attached, which is annoying when trying to locate the root error cause. Instead, directly assert that the current count is still smaller or equal to the expected count inside of the loop.

tests: status::worktree: indicate skipped tests on Win32 Some function bodies of tests which are not applicable to the Win32 platform are completely #ifdef'd out instead of calling `cl_skip()`. This leaves us with no indication that these tests are not being executed at all and may thus cause decreased scrutiny when investigating skipped tests. Improve the situation by calling `cl_skip()` instead of just doing nothing.

Fix unpack double free If an element has been cached, but then the call to packfile_unpack_compressed() fails, the very next thing that happens is that its data is freed and then the element is not removed from the cache, which frees the data again. This change sets obj->data to NULL to avoid the double-free. It also stops trying to resolve deltas after two continuous failed rounds of resolution, and adds a test for this.

diff_file: properly refcount blobs when initializing file contents When initializing a `git_diff_file_content` from a source whose data is derived from a blob, we simply assign the blob's pointer to the resulting struct without incrementing its refcount. Thus, the structure can only be used as long as the blob is kept alive by the caller. Fix the issue by using `git_blob_dup` instead of a direct assignment. This function will increment the refcount of the blob without allocating new memory, so it does exactly what we want. As `git_diff_file_content__unload` already frees the blob when `GIT_DIFF_FLAG__FREE_BLOB` is set, we don't need to add new code handling the free but only have to set that flag correctly.

openssl: fix thread-safety on non-glibc POSIX systems While the OpenSSL library provides all means to work safely in a multi-threaded application, we fail to do so correctly. Quoting from crypto_lock(3): OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and threadid_func. We do in fact provide the means to set up the locking function via `git_openssl_set_locking()`, where we initialize a set of locks by using the POSIX threads API and set the correct callback function to lock and unlock them. But what we do not do is setting the `threadid_func` callback. This function is being used to correctly locate thread-local data of the OpenSSL library and should thus return per-thread identifiers. Digging deeper into OpenSSL's documentation, the library does provide a fallback in case that locking function is not provided by the user. On Windows and BeOS we should be safe, as it simply "uses the system's default thread identifying API". On other platforms though OpenSSL will fall back to using the address of `errno`, assuming it is thread-local. While this assumption holds true for glibc-based systems, POSIX in fact does not specify whether it is thread-local or not. Quoting from errno(3p): It is unspecified whether errno is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. And in fact, with musl there is at least one libc implementation which simply declares `errno` as a simple `int` without being thread-local. On those systems, the fallback threadid function of OpenSSL will not be thread-safe. Fix this by setting up our own callback for this setting. As users of libgit2 may want to set it themselves, we obviously cannot always set that function on initialization. But as we already set up primitives for threading in `git_openssl_set_locking()`, this function becomes the obvious choice where to implement the additional setup.

diff_generate: fix unsetting diff flags The macro `DIFF_FLAG_SET` can be used to set or unset a flag by modifying the diff's bitmask. While the case of setting the flag is handled correctly, the case of unsetting the flag was not. Instead of inverting the flags, we are inverting the value which is used to decide whether we want to set or unset the bits. The value being used here is a simple `bool` which is `false`. As that is being uplifted to `int` when getting the bitwise-complement, we will end up retaining all bits inside of the bitmask. As that's only ever used to set `GIT_DIFF_IGNORE_CASE`, we were actually always ignoring case for generated diffs. Fix that by instead getting the bitwise-complement of `FLAG`, not `VAL`.

diff: remove unused macros `DIFF_FLAG_*` In commit 9be638ecf (git_diff_generated: abstract generated diffs, 2016-04-19), the code for generated diffs was moved out of the generic "diff.c" and instead into its own module. During that conversion, it was forgotten to remove the macros `DIFF_FLAG_IS_SET`, `DIFF_FLAG_ISNT_SET` and `DIFF_FLAG_SET`, which are now only used in "diff_generated.c". Remove those macros now.

Include git2/worktree.h in git2.h I'm not sure if worktree.h was intentionally left out of git2.h. Looks like an oversight since it is in fact documented.

README: suggest `ctest -V` for getting started Suggest that users run `ctest -V` instead of `make test` when getting started. `ctest -V` is superior over alternatives as: 1. Unlike `make test`, it gives output. Users getting started with the library believe that it is hung. 2. `ctest -V` shows verbose output; showing suite names is helpful for giving users more feedback immediately.

Merge pull request #4420 from pks-t/pks/strict-aliasing refcount: make refcounting conform to aliasing rules

refcount: make refcounting conform to aliasing rules Strict aliasing rules dictate that for most data types, you are not allowed to cast them to another data type and then access the casted pointers. While this works just fine for most compilers, technically we end up in undefined behaviour when we hurt that rule. Our current refcounting code makes heavy use of casting and thus violates that rule. While we didn't have any problems with that code, Travis started spitting out a lot of warnings due to a change in their toolchain. In the refcounting case, the code is also easy to fix: as all refcounting-statements are actually macros, we can just access the `rc` field directly instead of casting. There are two outliers in our code where that doesn't work. Both the `git_diff` and `git_patch` structures have specializations for generated and parsed diffs/patches, which directly inherit from them. Because of that, the refcounting code is only part of the base structure and not of the children themselves. We can help that by instead passing their base into `GIT_REFCOUNT_INC`, though.
