Patrick Steinhardt dbeadf8a 2019-07-11T10:56:05 config_parse: provide parser init and dispose functions Right now, all configuration file backends are expected to directly mess with the configuration parser's internals in order to set it up. Let's avoid doing that by implementing both a `git_config_parser_init` and `git_config_parser_dispose` function to clearly define the interface between configuration backends and the parser. Ideally, we would make the `git_config_parser` structure definition private to its implementation. But as that would require an additional memory allocation that was not required before we just live with it being visible to others.

Patrick Steinhardt e72cb769 2017-07-14T14:37:07 parse: implement `git_parse_peek` Some code parts need to inspect the next few bytes without actually consuming it yet, for example to examine what content it has to expect next. Create a new function `git_parse_peek` which returns the next byte without modifying the parsing context and use it at multiple call sites.
Patrick Steinhardt 252f2eee 2017-07-14T13:45:05 parse: implement and use `git_parse_advance_digit` The patch parsing code has multiple recurring patterns where we want to parse an actual number. Create a new function `git_parse_advance_digit` and use it to avoid code duplication.
Patrick Steinhardt ef1395f3 2017-11-11T15:30:43 parse: extract parse module The `git_patch_parse_ctx` encapsulates both parser state as well as options specific to patch parsing. To advance this state and keep it consistent, we provide a few functions which handle advancing the current position and accessing bytes of the patch contents. In fact, these functions are quite generic and not related to patch-parsing by themselves. Seeing that we have similar logic inside of other modules, it becomes quite enticing to extract this functionality into its own parser module. To do so, we create a new module `parse` with a central struct called `git_parse_ctx`. It encapsulates both the content that is to be parsed as well as its lengths and the current position. `git_patch_parse_ctx` now only contains this `parse_ctx` only, which is then accessed whenever we need to touch the current parser. This is the first step towards re-using this functionality across other modules which require parsing functionality and remove code-duplication.
