Patrick Steinhardt b3b6a39d 2019-06-07T11:12:54 attr_file: account for escaped escapes when searching trailing space When determining the trailing space length, we need to honor whether spaces are escaped or not. Currently, we do not check whether the escape itself is escaped, though, which might generate an off-by-one in that case as we will simply treat the space as escaped. Fix this by checking whether the backslashes preceding the space are themselves escaped.
Patrick Steinhardt 10ac298c 2019-06-07T11:12:42 attr_file: fix unescaping of escapes required for fnmatch When parsing attribute patterns, we will eventually unescape the parsed pattern. This is required because we require custom escapes for whitespace characters, as normally they are used to terminate the current pattern. Thing is, we don't only unescape those whitespace characters, but in fact all escaped sequences. So for example if the pattern was "\*", we unescape that to "*". As this is directly passed to fnmatch(3) later, fnmatch would treat it as a simple glob matching all files where it should instead only match a file with name "*". Fix the issue by unescaping spaces, only. Add a bunch of tests to exercise escape parsing.
Patrick Steinhardt eb146e58 2019-06-07T09:17:23 attr_file: properly handle escaped '\' when searching non-escaped spaces When parsing attributes, we need to search for the first unescaped whitespace character to determine where the pattern is to be cut off. The scan fails to account for the case where the escaping '\' character is itself escaped, though, and thus we would not recognize the cut-off point in patterns like "\\ ". Refactor the scanning loop to remember whether the last character was an escape character. If it was and the next character is a '\', too, then we will reset to non-escaped mode again. Thus, we now handle escaped whitespaces as well as escaped wildcards correctly.
Patrick Steinhardt f7c6795f 2019-06-07T10:20:35 path: only treat paths starting with '\' as absolute on Win32 Windows-based systems treat paths starting with '\' as absolute, either referring to the current drive's root (e.g. "\foo" might refer to "C:\foo") or to a network path (e.g. "\\host\foo"). On the other hand, (most?) systems that are not based on Win32 accept backslashes as valid characters that may be part of the filename, and thus we cannot treat them to identify absolute paths. Change the logic to only paths starting with '\' as absolute on the Win32 platform. Add tests to avoid regressions and document behaviour.
Patrick Steinhardt 01dda5ff 2019-06-07T08:29:32 tests: unify ignore tests into their own dir We had several occasions where tests for the gitignore had been added to status::ignore instead of the easier-to-handle attr::ignore test suite. This most likely resulted from the fact that the attr::ignore test suite is not easy to discover inside of the attr folder. Furthermore, ignore being part of the attributes code is an implementation detail, only, and thus shouldn't be stressed as much. Improve this by moving both attr::ignore and status::ignore tests into a new ignore test suite.
Patrick Steinhardt 65ad6b5a 2019-06-07T08:21:59 tests: remove accidentally checked in backup file The "ignore.c.bak" file has accidentally been checked in via commit 191649010 (ignore: test that leading whitespace is significant, 2019-05-19) and should obviously not be part of our test suites. Delete it.

Patrick Steinhardt d81e7866 2019-06-06T14:11:44 ignore: handle escaped trailing whitespace The gitignore's pattern format specifies that "Trailing spaces are ignored unless they are quoted with backslash ("\")". We do not honor this currently and will treat a pattern "foo\ " as if it was "foo\" only and a pattern "foo\ \ " as "foo\ \". Fix our code to handle those special cases and add tests to avoid regressions.
Patrick Steinhardt b6967c39 2019-06-06T14:02:17 attr_file: refactor stripping of trailing spaces The stripping of trailing spaces currently happens as part of `git_attr_fnmatch__parse`. As we aren't currently parsing trailing whitespaces correct in case they're escaped, we'll have to change that code, though. To make actual behavioural change easier to review, refactor the code up-front by pulling it out into its own function that is expected to retain the exact same functionality as before. Like this, the fix will be trivial to apply.
Edward Thomson b1795e0d 2019-06-05T15:02:33 Merge pull request #5094 from libgit2/ethomson/auth_failure online tests: use gitlab for auth failures
Edward Thomson e66a4eb3 2019-06-05T14:19:14 online tests: use gitlab for auth failures GitHub recently changed their behavior from returning 401s for private or nonexistent repositories on a clone to returning 404s. For our tests that require an auth failure (and 401), move to GitLab to request a missing repository. This lets us continue to test our auth failure case, at least until they decide to mimic that decision.

Edward Thomson 63adcc4e 2019-05-19T16:27:59 attr: optionally treat leading whitespace as significant When `allow_space` is unset, ensure that leading whitespace is not skipped.
Edward Thomson 7d330541 2019-05-19T16:33:28 ignore: test that comments begin at position 0 Comments must have a '#' at the beginning of the line. For compatibility with git, '#' after a whitespace is a literal part of the filename.
Edward Thomson 19164901 2019-05-19T16:27:02 ignore: test that leading whitespace is significant Ensure that leading whitespace is treated as being part of the filename, eg ` foo` in an ignore file indicates that a file literally named ` foo` is ignored.

Patrick Steinhardt add17435 2019-05-24T15:24:26 cache: fix cache eviction using deallocated key When evicting cache entries, we first retrieve the object that is to be evicted, delete the object and then finally delete the key from the cache. In case where the cache eviction caused us to free the cached object, though, its key will point to invalid memory now when trying to remove it from the cache map. On my system, this causes us to not properly remove the key from the map, as its memory has been overwritten already and thus the key lookup it will fail and we cannot delete it. Fix this by only decrementing the refcount of the evictee after we have removed it from our cache map. Add a test that caused a segfault previous to that change.

Edward Thomson 355b02a1 2019-05-22T11:48:28 config: rename subsection header parser func The `parse_section_header_ext` name suggests that it as an extended function for parsing the section header. It is not. Rename it to `parse_subsection_header` to better reflect its true mission.
Edward Thomson 42dd38dd 2019-05-16T08:55:40 config: lowercase error messages Update the configuration parsing error messages to be lower-cased for consistency with the rest of the library.
Edward Thomson 23c5699e 2019-05-16T09:37:25 config: validate quoted section value When we reach a whitespace after a section name, we assume that what will follow will be a quoted subsection name. Pass the current position of the line being parsed to the subsection parser, so that it can validate that subsequent characters are additional whitespace or a single quote. Previously we would begin parsing after the section name, looking for the first quotation mark. This allows invalid characters to embed themselves between the end of the section name and the first quotation mark, eg `[section foo "subsection"]`, which is illegal.
Edward Thomson b83bd037 2019-05-16T08:57:10 config: don't write invalid column When we don't specify a particular column, don't write it in the error message. (column "0" is unhelpful.)

Edward Thomson e269b343 2019-05-19T13:12:47 ignore: only skip first leading slash For compatibility with git, only skip the first leading slash in an ignore file. That is: `/a.txt` indicates to ignore a file named `a.txt` at the root. However `//b.txt` does not indicate that a file named `b.txt` at the root should be ignored.

Patrick Steinhardt 31f8f82a 2018-03-02T12:18:59 diff_driver: detect memory allocation errors when loading diff driver When searching for a configuration key for the diff driver, we construct the config key by modifying a buffer and then passing it to `git_config_get_multivar_foreach`. We do not check though whether the modification of the buffer actually succeded, so we could in theory end up passing the OOM buffer to the config function. Fix that by checking return codes. While at it, switch to use `git_buf_PUTS` to avoid repetition of the appended string to calculate its length.
Edward Thomson 9ceafb57 2019-01-12T22:55:31 regexec: use pcre as our fallback/builtin regex Use PCRE 8.42 as the builtin regex implementation, using its POSIX compatibility layer. PCRE uses ASCII by default and the users locale will not influence its behavior, so its `regcomp` implementation is similar to `regcomp_l` with a C locale.
Edward Thomson ce6d624a 2019-05-19T10:30:04 regex: optionally use PCRE2 Use PCRE2 and its POSIX compatibility layer if requested by the user. Although PCRE2 is adequate for our needs, the PCRE2 POSIX layer as installed on Debian and Ubuntu systems is broken, so we do not opt-in to it by default to avoid breaking users on those platforms.

Edward Thomson 622166c4 2019-05-18T19:37:59 regex: disambiguate builtin vs system pcre
Edward Thomson c6e48fef 2019-02-17T21:51:34 regex: allow regex selection in cmake Users can now select which regex implementation they want to use: one of the system `regcomp_l`, the system PCRE, the builtin PCRE or the system's `regcomp`. By default the system `regcomp_l` will be used if it exists, otherwise the system PCRE will be used. If neither of those exist, then the builtin PCRE implementation will be used. The system's `regcomp` is not used by default due to problems with locales.

Patrick Steinhardt e207b2a2 2018-03-02T15:09:20 tests: regex: restructure setup of locales In order to make it easier adding more locale-related tests, add a generalized framework handling initial setup of languages as well as the cleanup of them afterwards.
Edward Thomson b055a6b5 2019-01-13T01:24:39 tests: regex: add test with LC_COLLATE being set While we already have a test for `p_regexec` with `LC_CTYPE` being modified, `regexec` also alters behavior as soon as `LC_COLLATE` is being modified. Most importantly, `LC_COLLATE` changes the way how ranges are interpreted to just not handling them at all. Thus, ensure that either we use `regcomp_l` to avoid this, or that we've fallen back to our builtin regex functionality which also behaves properly.
Patrick Steinhardt ad4ede91 2018-03-02T13:51:57 tests: fix p_regcomp test not checking return type While the test asserts that the error value indcates a non-value, it is actually never getting assigned to. Fix this.
Edward Thomson d3a440ca 2019-01-13T10:50:13 fuzzers: use system includes Use the system includes (defined by libgit2) as the fuzzer includes. The fuzzers link against internal libgit2 API and therefore need to have the full include path that libgit2 uses.
Edward Thomson 02683b20 2019-01-12T23:06:39 regexec: prefix all regexec function calls with p_ Prefix all the calls to the the regexec family of functions with `p_`.

Patrick Steinhardt ee3d71fb 2019-04-26T08:01:56 cmake: fix include ordering issues with bundled deps When linking against bundled libraries, we include their header directories by using "-isystem". The reason for that is that we want to handle our vendored library headers specially, most importantly to ignore warnings generated by including them. By using "-isystem", though, we screw up the order of searched include directories by moving those bundled dependencies towards the end of the lookup order. Like this, chances are high that any other specified include directory contains a file that collides with the actual desired include file. Fix this by not treating the bundled dependencies' include directories as system includes. This will move them to the front of the lookup order and thus cause them to override system-provided headers. While this may cause the compiler to generate additional warnings when processing bundled headers, this is a tradeoff we should make regardless to fix builds on systems hitting this issue.
Patrick Steinhardt 13cb9f7a 2019-02-25T11:35:16 cmake: correctly detect if system provides `regcomp` We assume that if we are on Win32, Amiga OS, Solaris or SunOS, that the regcomp(3P) function cannot be provided by the system. Thus we will in these cases always include our own, bundled regex sources to make a regcomp implementation available. This test is obviously very fragile, and we have seen it fail on MSYS2/MinGW systems, which do in fact provide the regcomp symbol. The effect is that during compilation, we will use the "regex.h" header provided by MinGW, but use symbols provided by ourselves. This in fact may cause subtle memory layout issues, as the structure made available via MinGW doesn't match what our bundled code expects. There's one more problem with our regex detection: on the listed platforms, we will incorrectly include the bundled regex code even in case where the system provides regcomp_l(3), but it will never be used for anything. Fix the issue by improving our regcomp detection code. Instead of relying on a fragile listing of platforms, we can just use `CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` instead. This will not in fact avoid the header-ordering problem. But we can assume that as soon as a system-provided "regex.h" header is provided, that `CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` will now correctly find the desired symbol and thus not include our bundled regex code.

Patrick Steinhardt bc5b19e6 2019-04-29T09:01:45 Merge pull request #4561 from pks-t/pks/downcasting [RFC] util: introduce GIT_DOWNCAST macro
Patrick Steinhardt 0c71e4cb 2019-04-26T10:38:02 refspec: fix transforming nested stars When we transform a refspec with a component containing a glob, then we simply copy over the component until the next separator from the matching ref. E.g. if we have a ref "refs/heads/foo/bar" and a refspec "refs/heads/*/bar:refs/remotes/origin/*/bar", we: 1. Copy over everything until hitting the glob from the <dst> part: "refs/remotes/origin/". 2. Strip the common prefix of ref and <src> part until the glob, which is "refs/heads/". This leaves us with a ref of "foo/bar". 3. Copy from the ref until the next "/" separator, resulting in "refs/remotes/origin/foo". 4. Copy over the remaining part of the <dst> spec, which is "bar": "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar". This worked just fine in a world where globs in refspecs were restricted such that a globbing component may only contain a single "*", only. But this restriction has been lifted, so that a glob component may be nested between other characters, causing the above algorithm to fail. Most notably the third step, where we copy until hitting the next "/" separator, might result in a wrong transformation. Given e.g. a ref "refs/gbranchg/head" and a refspec "refs/g*g/head:refs/remotes/origin/*", we'd also be copying the "g" between "branch" and "/" and end up with the wrong transformed ref "refs/remotes/origin/branchg". Instead of copying until the next component separator, we should copy until we hit the pattern after the "*". So in the above example, we'd copy until hitting the string "g/head".
Patrick Steinhardt 51214b85 2019-04-26T10:15:49 refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs In commit cd377f45c9 (refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs, 2015-07-22) in git.git, the restrictions on wildcard "*" refspecs has been loosened. While wildcards were previously only allowed if the component is a single "*", this was changed to also accept other patterns as part of the component. We never adapted to that change and still reject any wildcard patterns that aren't a single "*" only. Update our tests to reflect the upstream change and adjust our own code accordingly.

Edward Thomson 45f24e78 2019-04-12T08:54:06 git_repository_init: stop traversing at windows root Stop traversing the filesystem at the Windows directory root. We were calculating the filesystem root for the given directory to create, and walking up the filesystem hierarchy. We intended to stop when the traversal path length is equal to the root path length (ie, stopping at the root, since no path may be shorter than the root path). However, on Windows, the root path may be specified in two different ways, as either `Z:` or `Z:\`, where `Z:` is the current drive letter. `git_path_dirname_r` returns the path _without_ a trailing slash, even for the Windows root. As a result, during traversal, we need to test that the traversal path is _less than or equal to_ the root path length to determine if we've hit the root to ensure that we stop when our traversal path is `Z:` and our calculated root path was `Z:\`.

Patrick Steinhardt b5f40441 2019-04-16T13:21:03 util: introduce GIT_CONTAINER_OF macro In some parts of our code, we make rather heavy use of casting structures to their respective specialized implementation. One example is the configuration code with the general `git_config_backend` and the specialized `diskfile_header` structures. At some occasions, it can get confusing though with regards to the correct inheritance structure, which led to the recent bug fixed in 2424e64c4 (config: harden our use of the backend objects a bit, 2018-02-28). Object-oriented programming in C is hard, but we can at least try to have some checks when it comes to casting around stuff. Thus, this commit introduces a `GIT_CONTAINER_OF` macro, which accepts as parameters the pointer that is to be casted, the pointer it should be cast to as well as the member inside of the target structure that is the containing structure. This macro then tries hard to detect mis-casts: - It checks whether the source and target pointers are of the same type. This requires support by the compiler, as it makes use of the builtin `__builtin_types_compatible_p`. - It checks whether the embedded member of the target structure is the first member. In order to make this a compile-time constant, the compiler-provided `__builtin_offsetof` is being used for this. - It ties these two checks together by the compiler-builtin `__builtin_choose_expr`. Based on whether the previous two checks evaluate to `true`, the compiler will either compile in the correct cast, or it will output `(void)0`. The second case results in a compiler error, resulting in a compile-time check for wrong casts. The only downside to this is that it relies heavily on compiler-specific extensions. As both GCC and Clang support these features, only define this macro like explained above in case `__GNUC__` is set (Clang also defines `__GNUC__`). If the compiler is not Clang or GCC, just go with a simple cast without any additional checks.

As we usually cannot use a different username in such context, we should use that one if provided and not ask the user for a diferent username.
