Exec git programs without using PATH. The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and allocation. This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not, meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal. On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process, and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!). By switching both of these functions to write into an argv_array, we can consistently free the result as appropriate.

.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \.{c,h} \| grep -v ^compat/ \| xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.

Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro The sentinel function attribute is not understood by versions of the gcc compiler prior to v4.0. At present, for earlier versions of gcc, the build issues 108 warnings related to the unknown attribute. In order to suppress the warnings, we conditionally define the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro to provide the sentinel attribute for gcc v4.0 and newer.

.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sed There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function declarations in headers using sed. This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2: $ git ls-files \.{c,h} \| grep -v ^compat/ \| xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s\)extern \([^(]([^]\)/\1\2/' Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible. Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running $ git grep -w -C3 extern \.{c,h} and manually checking the output. No other instances were found. Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which _should_ be left as extern. Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.
