    util: do not perform allocations in insertsort Our hand-rolled fallback sorting function `git__insertsort_r` does an in-place sort of the given array. As elements may not necessarily be pointers, it needs a way of swapping two values of arbitrary size, which is currently implemented by allocating a temporary buffer of the element's size. This is problematic, though, as the emulated `qsort` interface doesn't provide any return values and thus cannot signal an error if allocation of that temporary buffer has failed. Convert the function to swap via a temporary buffer allocated on the stack. Like this, it can `memcpy` contents of both elements in small batches without requiring a heap allocation. The buffer size has been chosen such that in most cases, a single iteration of copying will suffice. Most importantly, it can fully contain `git_oid` structures and pointers. Add a bunch of tests for the `git__qsort_r` interface to verify nothing breaks. Furthermore, this removes the declaration of `git__insertsort_r` and makes it static as it is not used anywhere else.

    • Write your modules and tests. Use good, meaningful names.

    • Make sure you actually build the tests by setting: 

        cmake -DBUILD_CLAR=ON build/

    • Test: 

        ./build/libgit2_clar

    • Make sure everything is fine.

    • Send your pull request. That’s it.

    Memory leak checks

    These are automatically run as part of CI, but if you want to check locally:

    Linux

    Uses valgrind:

    $ cmake -DBUILD_CLAR=ON -DVALGRIND=ON ..
$ cmake --build .
$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --num-callers=50 --suppressions=../libgit2_clar.supp \
  ./libgit2_clar

    macOS

    Uses leaks, which requires XCode installed:

    $ MallocStackLogging=1 MallocScribble=1 MallocLogFile=/dev/null CLAR_AT_EXIT="leaks -quiet \$PPID" \
  ./libgit2_clar
