e1a4a8eb	2018-06-25T11:58:34	cmake: enforce C90 standard While the aim of libgit2 was to conform to C90 code, we never instructed the compiler to enforce C90 compliance. Thus, quite a few violations were able to get into our code base, which have been removed with the previous commits. As we are now able to build libgit2 with C90 enforced, we can set the C_STANDARD property for our own build targets. Note that we explicitly avoid setting the C standard for our third-party dependencies. At least the zlib target does not build with C90 enforced, and we do not want to fix them by deviating from upstream. Thus we simply enforce no standard for them.
c13e56f9	2018-06-25T14:12:53	cmake: distinguish internal and system include directories While we want to enforce strict C90 mode, this may cause issues with system provided header files which are themselves not strictly conforming. E.g. if a system header has C++ style comments, a compiler in strict C90 mode would produce an error and abort the build. As the user most likely doesn't want to change the system header, this would completely break the build on such systems. One example of this is mbedtls, which provides such header files. The problem can be worked around by distinguishing between system-provided and project-provided include directories. When adding include directories via "-isystem" instead of "-I", the compiler will skip certain checks and print out less warnings. To use system includes, we can simply add the "SYSTEM" flag to CMake's `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` and `TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` functions. Note that we have to split the include directories into two variables because of this, as we definitely still want to check for all warnings produced by our own header files.
8ab470f5	2018-04-27T15:31:43	cmake: remove now-useless LIBGIT2_LIBDIRS handling With the recent change of always resolving pkg-config libraries to their full path, we do not have to manage the LIBGIT2_LIBDIRS variable anymore. The only other remaining user of LIBGIT2_LIBDIRS is winhttp, which is a CMake-style library target and can thus be resolved by CMake automatically. Remove the variable to simplify our build system a bit.
fac7eac4	2018-04-19T15:21:52	fixed stack smashing due to wrong size of struct stat on the stack on 32-bit systems with 64-bit file descriptor offsets enabled (added -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 when compiling the test suite)
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.

4da74c83	2017-10-20T07:29:17	cmake: use project-relative binary and source directories Due to our split of CMake files into multiple modules, we had to replace some uses of the `${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}` and `${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}` variables and replace them with `${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}` and `${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}`. This enabled us to still be able to refer to top-level files when defining build instructions inside of a subdirectory. When replacing all variables, it was assumed that the absolute set of variables is always relative to the current project. But in fact, this is not the case, as these variables always point to the source and binary directory as given by the top-levl project. So the change actually broke the ability to include libgit2 directly as a subproject, as source files cannot be found anymore. Fix this by instead using project-specific source and binary directories with `${libgit2_SOURCE_DIR}` and `${libgit2_BINARY_DIR}`.
d8d2f21e	2017-09-06T07:52:12	cmake: unify version check for target include directories There are two locations where we check whether CMake supports `TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. While the first one uses `VERSION_LESS 2.8.12`, the second one uses `VERSION_GREATER 2.8.11`, which are obviously equivalent to each other. It'd still be easier to grep for specific CMake versions being required for some features if both used the same conditional mentioning the actual target version required. So this commit refactors these conditions to make them equal.
1d9dd882	2017-09-05T15:06:29	cmake: distinguish libgit2 objects and sources Distinguish variables keeping track of our internal libgit2 sources and the final objects which shall be linked into the library. This will ease the transition to use object libraries for our bundled dependencies instead of linking them in.
8e31cc25	2017-06-28T12:51:14	cmake: keep track of libraries and includes via lists Later on, we will move detection of required libraries, library directories as well as include directories into a separate CMakeLists.txt file inside of the source directory. Obviously, we want to avoid duplication here regarding these parameters. To prepare for the split, put the parameters into three variables LIBGIT2_LIBS, LIBGIT2_LIBDIRS and LIBGIT2_INCLUDES, tracking the required libraries, linking directory as well as include directories. These variables can later be exported into the parent scope from inside of the source build instructions, making them readily available for the other subdirectories.
a390a846	2017-07-01T13:06:00	cmake: move defines into "features.h" header In a future commit, we will split out the build instructions for our library directory and move them into a subdirectory. One of the benefits is fixing scoping issues, where e.g. defines do not leak to build targets where they do not belong to. But unfortunately, this does also pose the problem of how to propagate some defines which are required by both the library and the test suite. One way would be to create another variable keeping track of all added defines and declare it inside of the parent scope. While this is the most obvious and simplest way of going ahead, it is kind of unfortunate. The main reason to not use this is that these defines become implicit dependencies between the build targets. By simply observing a define inside of the CMakeLists.txt file, one cannot reason whether this define is only required by the current target or whether it is required by different targets, as well. Another approach would be to use an internal header file keeping track of all defines shared between targets. While configuring the library, we will set various variables and let CMake configure the file, adding or removing defines based on what has been configured. Like this, one can easily keep track of the current environment by simply inspecting the header file. Furthermore, these dependencies are becoming clear inside the CMakeLists.txt, as instead of simply adding a define, we now call e.g. `SET(GIT_THREADSAFE 1)`. Having this header file though requires us to make sure it is always included before any "#ifdef"-preprocessor checks are executed. As we have already refactored code to always include the "common.h" header file before any statement inside of a file, this becomes easy: just make sure "common.h" includes the new "features.h" header file first.
35087f0e	2017-06-28T15:42:54	cmake: create separate CMakeLists.txt for tests Our CMakeLists.txt is very unwieldy in its current size, spanning more than 700 lines of code. Furthermore, it has several issues regarding scoping, where for example some defines, includes, etc. from our test suite are also applied to our normal library code. To fix this, we can separate out build instructions for our tests and move them into their own CMakeLists.txt in the "tests" directory. This reduced complexity of the root CMakeLists.txt file and fixes the issues regarding leaking build context from tests into the library.
