Jeff King c972bf4cf5 strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

SZEDER Gábor cd1096b282 pager: add a helper function to clear the last line in the terminal
There are a couple of places where we want to clear the last line on
the terminal, e.g. when a progress bar line is overwritten by a
shorter line, then the end of that progress line would remain visible,
unless we cover it up.

In 'progress.c' we did this by always appending a fixed number of
space characters to the next line (even if it was not shorter than the
previous), but as it turned out that fixed number was not quite large
enough, see the fix in 9f1fd84e15 (progress: clear previous progress
update dynamically, 2019-04-12).  From then on we've been keeping
track of the length of the last displayed progress line and appending
the appropriate number of space characters to the next line, if
necessary, but, alas, this approach turned out to be error prone, see
the fix in 1aed1a5f25 (progress: avoid empty line when breaking the
progress line, 2019-05-19).  The next patch in this series is about to
fix a case where we don't clear the last line, and on occasion do end
up with such garbage at the end of the line.  It would be great if we
could do that without the need to deal with that without meticulously
computing the necessary number of space characters.

So add a helper function to clear the last line on the terminal using
an ANSI escape sequence, which has the advantage to clear the whole
line no matter how wide it is, even after the terminal width changed.
Such an escape sequence is not available on dumb terminals, though, so
in that case fall back to simply print a whole terminal width (as
reported by term_columns()) worth of space characters.

In 'editor.c' launch_specified_editor() already used this ANSI escape
sequence, so replace it with a call to this function.

Jeff King be11f7ad60 pager: set COLUMNS to term_columns()
After we invoke the pager, our stdout goes to a pipe, not the
terminal, meaning we can no longer use an ioctl to get the
terminal width. For that reason, ad6c3739a3 (pager: find out
the terminal width before spawning the pager, 2012-02-12)
started caching the terminal width.

But that cache is only an in-process variable. Any programs
we spawn will also not be able to run that ioctl, but won't
have access to our cache. They'll end up falling back to our
80-column default.

You can see the problem with:

  git tag --column=row

Since git-tag spawns a pager these days, its spawned
git-column helper will see neither the terminal on stdout
nor a useful COLUMNS value (assuming you do not export it
from your shell already). And you'll end up with 80-column
output in the pager, regardless of your terminal size.

We can fix this by setting COLUMNS right before spawning the
pager. That fixes this case, as well as any more complicated
ones (e.g., a paged program spawns another script which then
generates columnized output).

Jeff King eed2707202 pager: handle early config
The pager code is often run early in the git.c startup,
before we have actually found the repository. When we ask
git_config() to look for values like core.pager, it doesn't
know where to find the repo-level config, and will blindly
examine ".git/config" if it exists. That's why t7006 shows
that many pager-related features happen to work from the
top-level of a repository, but not from a subdirectory.

This patch pulls that ".git/config" hack explicitly into the
pager code. There are two reasons for this:

  1. We'd like to clean up the git_config() behavior, as
     looking at ".git/config" when we do not have a
     configured repository is often the wrong thing to do.
     But we'd prefer not to break the pager config any worse
     than it already is.

  2. It's one very tiny step on the road to ultimately
     making the pager config work consistently. If we
     eventually get an equivalent of setup_git_directory()
     that _just_ finds the directory and doesn't chdir() or
     set up any global state, we could plug it in here
     (instead of blindly looking at ".git/config").

Jeff King 6a1e1bc0a1 pager: use callbacks instead of configset
While the cached configset interface is more pleasant to
use, it is not appropriate for "early" config like pager
setup, which must sometimes do tricky things like reading
from ".git/config" even when we have not set up the
repository.

As a preparatory step to handling these cases better, let's
switch back to using the callback interface, which gives us
more control.

Note that this is essentially a revert of 586f414 (pager.c:

Jeff King 4babb839aa pager: stop loading git_default_config()
In git_pager(), we really only care about getting the value
of core.pager. But to do so, we use the git_default_config()
callback, which loads many other values. Ordinarily it
isn't a big deal to load this config an extra time, as it
simply overwrites the values from the previous run. But it's
a bad idea here, for two reasons:

  1. The pager setup may be called very early in the
     program, before we have found the git repository. As a
     result, we may fail to read the correct repo-level
     config file.  This is a problem for core.pager, too,
     but we should at least try to minimize the pollution to
     other configured values.

  2. Because we call setup_pager() from git.c, basically
     every builtin command _may_ end up reading this config
     and getting an implicit git_default_config() setup.

     Which doesn't sound like a terrible thing, except that
     we don't do it consistently; it triggers only when
     stdout is a tty. So if a command forgets to load the
     default config itself (but depends on it anyway), it
     may appear to work, and then mysteriously fail when the
     pager is not in use.

We can improve this by loading _just_ the core.pager config
from git_pager().

Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause

2015-10-07 13:38:16 -07:00
Takashi Iwai 507d7804c0 pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Since the commit a3da882120 (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler.  The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*].  When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.

The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors.  Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*].  Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc.  This was the cause of the deadlock above.  Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used.  strerror() is such one, either.

Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far.  In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.

This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers.  wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls.   Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason.  There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

2015-08-31 15:38:57 -07:00
Jeff King 9e9de18f1a config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:

  $ git foo_bar
  error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
  error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
  git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.

In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.

These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.

Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:

  1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
     write out the normalized key.

  2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
     This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
     field, because we can make the existing implementation
     a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
     inside config.c.

Since 2e6c012e (setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE, 2011-08-17), we
export GIT_PAGER_IN_USE so that a process that becomes the upstream
of the spawned pager can still tell that we have spawned the pager
and decide to do colored output even when its output no longer goes
to a terminal (i.e. isatty(1)).

But we forgot to clear it from the enviornment of the spawned pager.

This is not a problem in a sane world, but if you have a handful of
thousands Git users in your organization, somebody is bound to do
strange things, e.g. typing "!<ENTER>" instead of 'q' to get control
back from $LESS.  GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is still set in that subshell
spawned by "less", and all sorts of interesting things starts
happening, e.g. "git diff | cat" starts coloring its output.

We can clear the environment variable in the half of the fork that
runs the pager to avoid the confusion.

  decimal_width: avoid integer overflow
2015-02-18 11:45:02 -08:00
Jeff King d306f3d351 decimal_width: avoid integer overflow
The decimal_width function originally appeared in blame.c as
"lineno_width", and was designed for calculating the
print-width of small-ish integer values (line numbers in
text files). In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable
function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align
diffstats.

Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line
numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider
adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to
the challenge for two reasons:

  1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may
     easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in
     which case we will produce an incorrect value.

  2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another
     integer by 10 until it surpasses the value.  This can
     cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the
     largest representable integer.

     For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer,
     and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1).
     We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000
     is smaller than our value. The next step would be to
     multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too
     large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that
     value, and we have signed overflow.

     This is technically undefined behavior, but a common
     behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our
     iterator will certainly be less than the number. So
     we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on.

This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same
type we use to store the diffstat information for binary
filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value
by 10.

Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after
declaration.  Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to
initialize them statically instead.  That's shorter, doesn't require a
function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we
already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

Matthieu Moy b3275838d9 pager: remove 'S' from $LESS by default
By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.

More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:

    -old code;
    +new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;

would appear identical to:

    -old code;
    +new good code;

Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.

The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

Jörn Engel c0459ca4dc pager: do allow spawning pager recursively
This reverts commit 88e8f908f2, which
tried to allow

    GIT_PAGER="git -p column --mode='dense color'" git -p branch

and still wanted to avoid "git -p column" to invoke itself.  However,
this falls into "don't do that -p then" category.

In particular, inside "git log", with results going through less, a
potentially interesting commit may be found and from there inside
"less", the user may want to execute "git show <commit>".  Before
the commit being reverted, this used to show the patch in less but
it no longer does.

Junio C Hamano 9fac0777e1 Merge branch 'jn/pager-lv-default-env'
Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.

* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
  pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
2014-01-13 11:33:35 -08:00
Jonathan Nieder e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any

existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

Jeff King ed016612e6 pager: turn on "cat" optimization for DEFAULT_PAGER
If the user specifies a pager of "cat" (or the empty
string), whether it is in the environment or from config, we
automagically optimize it out to mean "no pager" and avoid
forking at all. We treat an empty pager variable similary.

However, we did not apply this optimization when
DEFAULT_PAGER was set to "cat" (or the empty string). There
is no reason to treat DEFAULT_PAGER any differently. The
optimization should not be user-visible (unless the user has
a bizarre "cat" in their PATH). And even if it is, we are
better off behaving consistently between the compile-time
default and the environment and config settings.

The stray "else" we are removing from this code was
introduced by 402461a (pager: do not fork a pager if PAGER
is set to empty., 2006-04-16). At that time, the line
directly above used:

   if (!pager)
	   pager = "less";

as a fallback, meaning that it could not possibly trigger
the optimization. Later, a3d023d (Provide a build time
default-pager setting, 2009-10-30) turned that constant into
a build-time setting which could be anything, but didn't
loosen the "else" to let DEFAULT_PAGER use the optimization.

Jeff King e8320f350f pager: drop "wait for output to run less" hack
Commit 35ce862 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in
'less', 2007-01-24) causes git's pager sub-process to wait
to receive input after forking but before exec-ing the
pager. To handle this, run-command had to grow a "pre-exec
callback" feature. Unfortunately, this feature does not work
at all on Windows (where we do not fork), and interacts
poorly with run-command's parent notification system. Its
use should be discouraged.

The bug in less was fixed in version 406, which was released
in June 2007. It is probably safe at this point to remove
our workaround. That lets us rip out the preexec_cb feature
entirely.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 88e8f908f2 Stop starting pager recursively
git-column can be used as a pager for other git commands, something
like this:

    GIT_PAGER="git -p column --mode='dense color'" git -p branch

The problem with this is that "git -p column" also has $GIT_PAGER set so
the pager runs itself again as another pager. The end result is an
infinite loop of forking. Other git commands have the same problem if
being abused this way.

Check if $GIT_PAGER is already set and stop launching another pager.

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek ad6c3739a3 pager: find out the terminal width before spawning the pager
term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard
output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful.

The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and
running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while
"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we
spawn the pager to fix this.

While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so
that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.

Jeff King 2e6c012e10 setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
We have always set a global "spawned_pager" variable when we
start the pager. This lets us make the auto-color decision
later in the program as as "we are outputting to a terminal,
or to a pager which can handle colors".

Commit 6e9af86 added support for the GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
environment variable. An external program calling git (e.g.,
git-svn) could set this variable to indicate that it had
already started the pager, and that the decision about
auto-coloring should take that into account.

However, 6e9af86 failed to do the reverse, which is to tell
external programs when git itself has started the pager.
Thus a git command implemented as an external script that
has the pager turned on (e.g., "git -p stash show") would
not realize it was going to a pager, and would suppress
colors.

This patch remedies that; we always set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
when we start the pager, and the value is respected by both
this program and any spawned children.

Jonathan Nieder 64778d24a9 Make 'git var GIT_PAGER' always print the configured pager
Scripted commands that want to use git’s configured pager know better
than ‘git var’ does whether stdout is going to be a tty at the
appropriate time.  Checking isatty(1) as git_pager() does now won’t
cut it, since the output of git var itself is almost never a terminal.
The symptom is that when used by humans, ‘git var GIT_PAGER’ behaves
as it should, but when used by scripts, it always returns ‘cat’!

So avoid tricks with isatty() and just always print the configured
pager.

This does not fix the callers to check isatty(1) themselves yet.
Nevertheless, this patch alone is enough to fix 'am --interactive'.

Thanks to Sebastian Celis for the report and Jeff King for the
analysis.
