Johannes Schindelin	ee95ec5d58	xdl_merge(): introduce XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM When a merge conflicts, there are often common lines that are not really common, such as empty lines or lines containing a single curly bracket. With XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM, we use the following heuristics: when a hunk does not contain any letters or digits, it is treated as conflicting. In other words, a conflict which used to look like this: <<<<<<< a = 1; ======= output(); >>>>>>> } } } <<<<<<< output(); ======= b = 1; >>>>>>> will look like this with ZEALOUS_ALNUM: <<<<<<< a = 1; } } } output(); ======= output(); } } } b = 1; >>>>>>> To demonstrate this, git-merge-file has been switched from XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS to XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS_ALNUM.

Johannes Schindelin	f407f14dea	xdl_merge(): make XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS output simpler When a merge conflicts, there are often less than three common lines between two conflicting regions. Since a conflict takes up as many lines as are conflicting, plus three lines for the commit markers, the output will be shorter (and thus, simpler) in this case, if the common lines will be merged into the conflicting regions. This patch merges up to three common lines into the conflicts. For example, what looked like this before this patch: <<<<<<< if (a == 1) ======= if (a != 0) >>>>>>> { int i; <<<<<<< a = 0; ======= a = !a; >>>>>>> will now look like this: <<<<<<< if (a == 1) { int i; a = 0; ======= if (a != 0) { int i; a = !a; >>>>>>> Suggested Linus (based on ideas by "Voltage Spike" -- if that name is real, it is mighty cool).

Junio C Hamano	f258475a6e	Per-path attribute based hunk header selection. This makes"diff -p" hunk headers customizable via gitattributes mechanism. It is based on Johannes's earlier patch that allowed to define a single regexp to be used for everything. The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname (because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to be looked up from the configuration file. (in .gitattributes) .java funcname=java .perl funcname=perl (in .git/config) [funcname] java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one. perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.

Johannes Schindelin	824f782c3f	xdiff/xutils.c(xdl_hash_record): factor out whitespace handling Since in at least one use case, xdl_hash_record() takes over 15% of the CPU time, it makes sense to even micro-optimize it. For many cases, no whitespace special handling is needed, and in these cases we should not even bother to check for whitespace in _every_ iteration of the loop.

Johannes Schindelin	22b6abcd08	Fix yet another subtle xdl_merge() bug In very obscure cases, a merge can hit an unexpected code path (where the original code went as far as saying that this was a bug). This failing merge was noticed by Alexandre Juillard. The problem is that the original file contains something like this: -- snip -- two non-empty lines before two empty lines after two empty lines -- snap -- and this snippet is reduced to _one_ empty line in _both_ new files. However, it is ambiguous as to which hunk takes the empty line: the first or the second one? Indeed in Alexandre's example files, the xdiff algorithm attributes the empty line to the first hunk in one case, and to the second hunk in the other case. (Trimming down the example files _changes_ that behaviour!) Thus, the call to xdl_merge_cmp_lines() has no chance to realize that the change is actually identical in both new files. Therefore, xdl_refine_conflicts() finds an empty diff script, which was not expected there, because (the original author of xdl_merge() thought) xdl_merge_cmp_lines() would catch that case earlier.

Johannes Schindelin	5d6b151fdd	xdl_merge(): fix a segmentation fault when refining conflicts The function xdl_refine_conflicts() tries to break down huge conflicts by doing a diff on the conflicting regions. However, this does not make sense when one side is empty. Worse, when one side is not only empty, but after EOF, the code accessed unmapped memory. Noticed by Luben Tuikov, Shawn Pearce and Alexandre Julliard, the latter providing a test case.

Johannes Schindelin	98e6da8a36	xdl_merge(): fix and simplify conflict handling Suppose you have changes in new1 to the original lines 10-20, and changes in new2 to the original lines 15-25, then the changes to 10-25 conflict. But it is possible that the next changes in new1 still overlap with this change to new2. So, in the next iteration we have to look at the same change to new2 again. The old code tried to be a bit too clever. The new code is shorter and more to the point: do not fiddle with the ranges at all. Also, xdl_append_merge() tries harder to combine conflicts. This is necessary, because with the above simplification, some conflicts would not be recognized as conflicts otherwise: In the above scenario, it is possible that there is no other change to new1. Absent the combine logic, the change in new2 would be recorded _again_, but as a non-conflict. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>	18 years ago

Johannes Schindelin	857b933e04	xdiff: add xdl_merge() This new function implements the functionality of RCS merge, but in-memory. It returns < 0 on error, otherwise the number of conflicts. Finding the conflicting lines can be a very expensive task. You can control the eagerness of this algorithm: - a level value of 0 means that all overlapping changes are treated as conflicts, - a value of 1 means that if the overlapping changes are identical, it is not treated as a conflict. - If you set level to 2, overlapping changes will be analyzed, so that almost identical changes will not result in huge conflicts. Rather, only the conflicting lines will be shown inside conflict markers. With each increasing level, the algorithm gets slower, but more accurate. Note that the code for level 2 depends on the simple definition of mmfile_t specific to git, and therefore it will be harder to port that to LibXDiff.

Andy Parkins	f73da29fa2	Increase length of function name buffer In xemit.c:xdl_emit_diff() a buffer for showing the function name as commentary is allocated; this buffer was 40 characters. This is a bit small; particularly for C++ function names where there is often an identical prefix (like void LongNamespace::LongClassName) on multiple functions, which makes the context the same everywhere. In other words the context is useless.

Linus Torvalds	a9ed376b15	xdiff: generate "anti-diffs" aka what is common to two files This fairly trivial patch adds a new XDL_EMIT_xxx flag to tell libxdiff that we don't want to generate the _diff_ between two files, we want to see the lines that are _common_ to two files. So when you set XDL_EMIT_COMMON, xdl_diff() will do everything exactly like it used to do, but the output records it generates just contain the lines that aren't part of the diff. This is for doing things like generating the common base case for a file that was added in both branches.

Marco Roeland	0ed49a3ed9	xdiff/xdiffi.c: fix warnings about possibly uninitialized variables Compiling this module gave the following warnings (some double dutch!): xdiff/xdiffi.c: In functie 'xdl_recs_cmp': xdiff/xdiffi.c:298: let op: 'spl.i1' may be used uninitialized in this function xdiff/xdiffi.c:298: let op: 'spl.i2' may be used uninitialized in this function xdiff/xdiffi.c:219: let op: 'fbest1' may be used uninitialized in this function xdiff/xdiffi.c:219: let op: 'bbest1' may be used uninitialized in this function A superficial tracking of their usage, without deeper knowledge about the algorithm, indeed confirms that there are code paths on which these variables will be used uninitialized. In practice these code paths might never be reached, but then these fixes will not change the algorithm. If these code paths are ever reached we now at least have a predictable outcome. And should the very small performance impact of these initializations be noticeable, then they should at least be replaced by comments why certain code paths will never be reached. Some extra initializations in this patch now fix the warnings.	19 years ago

Mark Wooding	acb7257729	xdiff: Show function names in hunk headers. The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names shown by `diff -p' are /really/ nice. And I hate having to choose. So, we hack xdiff to find the function names and print them. xdiff has grown a flag to say whether to dig up the function names. The builtin_diff function passes this flag unconditionally. I suppose it could parse GIT_DIFF_OPTS, but it doesn't at the moment. I've also reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was removed in commit `3ce8f089`. The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the moment: it just tries to find a line in the `old' file, from before the start of the hunk, whose first character looks plausible. Still, it's most definitely a start. Signed-off-by: Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

Linus Torvalds	3443546f6e	Use a real built-in diff generator This uses a simplified libxdiff setup to generate unified diffs _without_ doing fork/execve of GNU "diff". This has several huge advantages, for example: Before: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null real 0m24.818s user 0m13.332s sys 0m8.664s After: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null real 0m4.563s user 0m2.944s sys 0m1.580s and the fact that this should be a lot more portable (ie we can ignore all the issues with doing fork/execve under Windows). Perhaps even more importantly, this allows us to do diffs without actually ever writing out the git file contents to a temporary file (and without any of the shell quoting issues on filenames etc etc). NOTE! THIS PATCH DOES NOT DO THAT OPTIMIZATION YET! I was lazy, and the current "diff-core" code actually will always write the temp-files, because it used to be something that you simply had to do. So this current one actually writes a temp-file like before, and then reads it into memory again just to do the diff. Stupid. But if this basic infrastructure is accepted, we can start switching over diff-core to not write temp-files, which should speed things up even further, especially when doing big tree-to-tree diffs. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should also point out a few downsides: - the libxdiff algorithm is different, and I bet GNU diff has gotten a lot more testing. And the thing is, generating a diff is not an exact science - you can get two different diffs (and you will), and they can both be perfectly valid. So it's not possible to "validate" the libxdiff output by just comparing it against GNU diff. - GNU diff does some nice eye-candy, like trying to figure out what the last function was, and adding that information to the "@@ .." line. libxdiff doesn't do that. - The libxdiff thing has some known deficiencies. In particular, it gets the "\No newline at end of file" case wrong. So this is currently for the experimental branch only. I hope Davide will help fix it. That said, I think the huge performance advantage, and the fact that it integrates better is definitely worth it. But it should go into a development branch at least due to the missing newline issue. Technical note: this is based on libxdiff-0.17, but I did some surgery to get rid of the extraneous fat - stuff that git doesn't need, and seriously cutting down on mmfile_t, which had much more capabilities than the diff algorithm either needed or used. In this version, "mmfile_t" is just a trivial <pointer,length> tuple. That said, I tried to keep the differences to simple removals, so that you can do a diff between this and the libxdiff origin, and you'll basically see just things getting deleted. Even the mmfile_t simplifications are left in a state where the diffs should be readable. Apologies to Davide, whom I'd love to get feedback on this all from (I wrote my own "fill_mmfile()" for the new simpler mmfile_t format: the old complex format had a helper function for that, but I did my surgery with the goal in mind that eventually we _should_ just do mmfile_t mf; buf = read_sha1_file(sha1, type, &size); mf->ptr = buf; mf->size = size; .. use "mf" directly .. which was really a nightmare with the old "helpful" mmfile_t, and really is that easy with the new cut-down interfaces). [ Btw, as any hawk-eye can see from the diff, this was actually generated with itself, so it is "self-hosting". That's about all the testing it has gotten, along with the above kernel diff, which eye-balls correctly, but shows the newline issue when you double-check it with "git-apply" ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
