diff_aligned_abbrev: use "struct oid"

2016-10-26T20:30:51Z

Since we're modifying this function anyway, it's a good time to update it to the more modern "struct oid". We can also drop some of the magic numbers in favor of GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ, along with some descriptive comments. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff_unique_abbrev: rename to diff_aligned_abbrev

2016-10-26T20:30:51Z

The word "align" describes how the function actually differs from find_unique_abbrev, and will make it less confusing when we add more diff-specific abbrevation functions that do not do this alignment. Since this is a globally available function, let's also move its descriptive comment to the header file, where we typically document function interfaces.

diff: rename struct diff_filespec's sha1_valid member

2016-06-28T18:39:02Z

Now that this struct's sha1 member is called "oid", update the comment and the sha1_valid member to be called "oid_valid" instead. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used to implement this, followed by the transformations in object_id.cocci: @@ struct diff_filespec o; @@ - o.sha1_valid + o.oid_valid @@ struct diff_filespec *p; @@ - p->sha1_valid + p->oid_valid Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: convert struct diff_filespec to struct object_id

2016-06-28T18:39:02Z

Convert struct diff_filespec's sha1 member to use a struct object_id called "oid" instead. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used to implement this, followed by the transformations in object_id.cocci: @@ struct diff_filespec o; @@ - o.sha1 + o.oid.hash @@ struct diff_filespec *p; @@ - p->sha1 + p->oid.hash Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pathspec: rename free_pathspec() to clear_pathspec()

2016-06-02T21:09:22Z

The function takes a pointer to a pathspec structure, and releases the resources held by it, but does not free() the structure itself. Such a function should be called "clear", not "free". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their additions and multiplications into overflow-checking variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes auditing the code easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macros

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

Using FLEX_ARRAY macros reduces the amount of manual computation size we have to do. It also ensures we don't overflow size_t, and it makes sure we write the same number of bytes that we allocated. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

use xmallocz to avoid size arithmetic

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
