Edward Thomson f673e232 2018-12-27T13:47:34 git_error: use new names in internal APIs and usage Move to the `git_error` name in the internal API for error-related functions.
Patrick Steinhardt 852bc9f4 2018-11-23T19:26:24 khash: remove intricate knowledge of khash types Instead of using the `khiter_t`, `git_strmap_iter` and `khint_t` types, simply use `size_t` instead. This decouples code from the khash stuff and makes it possible to move the khash includes into the implementation files.
Patrick Steinhardt b78f4ab0 2018-08-16T12:22:03 config_entries: refactor entries iterator memory ownership Right now, the config file code requires us to pass in its backend to the config entry iterator. This is required with the current code, as the config file backend will first create a read-only snapshot which is then passed to the iterator just for that purpose. So after the iterator is getting free'd, the code needs to make sure that the snapshot gets free'd, as well. By now, though, we can easily refactor the code to be more efficient and remove the reverse dependency from iterator to backend. Instead of creating a read-only snapshot (which also requires us to re-parse the complete configuration file), we can simply duplicate the config entries and pass those to the iterator. Like that, the iterator only needs to make sure to free the duplicated config entries, which is trivial to do and clears up memory ownership by a lot.
Patrick Steinhardt d49b1365 2018-08-10T19:01:37 config_entries: internalize structure declarations Access to the config entries is now completely done via the modules function interface and no caller messes with the struct's internals. We can thus completely move the structure declarations into the implementation file so that nobody even has a chance to mess with the members.
Patrick Steinhardt 123e5963 2018-08-10T18:59:59 config_entries: abstract away reference counting Instead of directly calling `git_atomic_inc` in users of the config entries store, provide a `git_config_entries_incref` function to further decouple the interfaces. Convert the refcount to a `git_refcount` structure while at it.
Patrick Steinhardt 5a7e0b3c 2018-08-10T18:49:38 config_entries: abstract away iteration over entries The nice thing about our `git_config_iterator` interfaces is that nobody needs to know anything about the implementation details. All that is required is to obtain the iterator via any backend and then use it by executing generic functions. We can thus completely internalize all the implementation details of how to iterate over entries into the config entries store and simply create such an iterator in our config file backend when we want to iterate its entries. This further decouples the config file backend from the config entries store.
Patrick Steinhardt 60ebc137 2018-08-10T14:53:09 config_entries: abstract away retrieval of config entries The code accessing config entries in the `git_config_entries` structure is still much too intimate with implementation details, directly accessing the maps and handling indices. Provide two new functions to get config entries from the internal map structure to decouple the interfaces and use them in the config file code. The function `git_config_entries_get` will simply look up the entry by name and, in the case of a multi-value, return the last occurrence of that entry. The second function, `git_config_entries_get_unique`, will only return an entry if it is unique and not included via another configuration file. This one is required to properly implement write operations for single entries, as we refuse to write to or delete a single entry if it is not clear which one was meant.
Patrick Steinhardt fb8a87da 2018-08-10T14:50:15 config_entries: rename functions and structure The previous commit simply moved all code that is required to handle config entries to a new module without yet adjusting any of the function and structure names to help readability. We now rename things accordingly to have a common "git_config_entries" entries instead of the old "diskfile_entries" one.
Patrick Steinhardt 04f57d51 2018-08-10T13:33:02 config_entries: pull out implementation of entry store The configuration entry store that is used for configuration files needs to keep track of all entries in two different structures: - a singly linked list is being used to be able to iterate through configuration files in the order they have been found - a string map is being used to efficiently look up configuration entries by their key This store is thus something that may be used by other, future backends as well to abstract away implementation details and iteration over the entries. Pull out the necessary functions from "config_file.c" and moves them into their own "config_entries.c" module. For now, this is simply moving over code without any renames and/or refactorings to help reviewing.
