Edward Thomson 459ac856 2019-02-23T18:42:53 odb: provide a free function for custom backends Custom backends can allocate memory when reading objects and providing them to libgit2. However, if an error occurs in the custom backend after the memory has been allocated for the custom object but before it's returned to libgit2, the custom backend has no way to free that memory and it must be leaked. Provide a free function that corresponds to the alloc function so that custom backends have an opportunity to free memory before they return an error.
Edward Thomson 790aae77 2019-02-23T18:40:43 odb: rename git_odb_backend_malloc for consistency The `git_odb_backend_malloc` name is a system function that is provided for custom ODB backends and allows them to allocate memory for an ODB object in the read callback. This is important so that libgit2 can later free the memory used by an ODB object that was read from the custom backend. However, the name _suggests_ that it actually allocates a `git_odb_backend`. It does not; rename it to make it clear that it actually allocates backend _data_.
Edward Thomson a1ef995d 2019-02-21T10:33:30 indexer: use git_indexer_progress throughout Update internal usage of `git_transfer_progress` to `git_indexer_progreses`.
Edward Thomson 22d2062d 2019-01-09T18:25:10 Introduce GIT_CALLBACK macro to enforce cdecl Since we now always build the library with cdecl calling conventions, our callbacks should be decorated as such so that users will not be able to provide callbacks defined with other calling conventions. The `GIT_CALLBACK` macro will inject the `__cdecl` attribute as appropriate.
Edward Thomson 19faf7c5 2018-11-14T23:35:48 object_type: update public API to use git_object_t git_object_t is the future; update the public API to use it. This will also ensure that we can build our tests which make use of the old API without modification (and without compiler warnings).
Edward Thomson 97f9a5f0 2017-12-17T01:12:49 odb: provide length and type with streaming read The streaming read functionality should provide the length and the type of the object, like the normal read functionality does.
Edward Thomson 8f09a98e 2016-07-14T16:23:24 odb: freshen existing objects when writing When writing an object, we calculate its OID and see if it exists in the object database. If it does, we need to freshen the file that contains it.
Arthur Schreiber d3b29fb9 2015-10-01T00:50:37 refdb and odb backends must provide `free` function As refdb and odb backends can be allocated by client code, libgit2 can’t know whether an alternative memory allocator was used, and thus should not try to call `git__free` on those objects. Instead, odb and refdb backend implementations must always provide their own `free` functions to ensure memory gets freed correctly.

Carlos Martín Nieto 77b339f7 2015-05-12T13:06:33 odb: make the writestream's size a git_off_t Restricting files to size_t is a silly limitation. The loose backend writes to a file directly, so there is no issue in using 63 bits for the size. We still assume that the header is going to fit in 64 bytes, which does mean quite a bit smaller files due to the run-length encoding, but it's still a much larger size than you would want Git to handle.
Russell Belfer bc91347b 2014-04-30T11:16:31 Fix remaining init_options inconsistencies There were a couple of "init_opts()" functions a few more cases of structure initialization that I somehow missed.
Jacques Germishuys 48e60ae7 2014-04-21T11:23:29 Don't redefine the same callback types, their signatures may change
Matthew Bowen b9f81997 2014-03-05T21:49:23 Added function-based initializers for every options struct. The basic structure of each function is courtesy of arrbee.
Russell Belfer f5753999 2014-03-04T15:34:23 Add exists_prefix to ODB backend and ODB API
Carlos Martín Nieto 0b33fca0 2013-10-02T13:39:35 indexer: fix thin packs When given an ODB from which to read objects, the indexer will attempt to inject the missing bases at the end of the pack and update the header and trailer to reflect the new contents.
nulltoken b1a6c316 2013-08-30T17:36:00 odb: Move the auto refresh logic to the pack backend Previously, `git_object_read()`, `git_object_read_prefix()` and `git_object_exists()` were implementing an auto refresh logic. When the expected object couldn't be found in any backend, a call to `git_odb_refresh()` was triggered and the lookup was once again performed against all backends. This commit removes this auto-refresh logic from the odb layer and pushes it down into the pack-backend (as it's the only one currently exposing a `refresh()` endpoint).
Carlos Martín Nieto 7a3764be 2013-08-17T01:55:52 odb: document git_odb_stream Clarify the role of each function and in particular mention that there is no need for the backend or stream to worry about the object's id, as it will be given when `finalize_write` is called.
Carlos Martín Nieto fe0c6d4e 2013-08-17T01:41:08 odb: make it clearer that the id is calculated in the frontend The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in the function signature made it seem as though it was an output parameter. Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject (backend or stream).
Russell Belfer 83cc70d9 2013-04-19T12:48:33 Move odb_backend implementors stuff into git2/sys This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys. Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2 because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB. Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.
