Matthew Rogers	145d59f482	config: add '--show-scope' to print the scope of a config value When a user queries config values with --show-origin, often it's difficult to determine what the actual "scope" (local, global, etc.) of a given value is based on just the origin file. Teach 'git config' the '--show-scope' option to print the scope of all displayed config values. Note that we should never see anything of "submodule" scope as that is only ever used by submodule-config.c when parsing the '.gitmodules' file.

Matthew Rogers	e37efa40e1	config: teach git_config_source to remember its scope There are many situations where the scope of a config command is known beforehand, such as passing of '--local', '--file', etc. to an invocation of git config. However, this information is lost when moving from builtin/config.c to /config.c. This historically hasn't been a big deal, but to prepare for the upcoming --show-scope option we teach git_config_source to keep track of the source and the config machinery to use that information to set current_parsing_scope appropriately.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	58b284a2e9	worktree: add per-worktree config files A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present: - Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_ $GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple worktree setup. - The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are supposed to be in config.worktree. This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either .git/config.worktree for main worktree, or .git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones). This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked worktrees and move back to single worktree). "git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default (i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A new option --worktree is added for that (). Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if they use with "git config --file <path>". This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are isolated. () "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

Beat Bolli	6aaded5509	builtin/config: work around an unsized array forward declaration As reported here[0], Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.2 and "gcc -pedantic" don't understand the forward declaration of an unsized static array. They insist on an array size: d:\git\src\builtin\config.c(70,46): error C2133: 'builtin_config_options': unknown size The thread [1] explains that this is due to the single-pass nature of old compilers. To work around this error, introduce the forward-declared function usage_builtin_config() instead that uses the array builtin_config_options only after it has been defined. Also use this function in all other places where usage_with_options() is called with the same arguments.

Taylor Blau	63e2a0f8e9	builtin/config: introduce `color` type specifier As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the `--get-color` action. This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s). With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since: $ git config --default red --type=color core.section will be have exactly as: $ git config --get-color core.section red For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

Taylor Blau	eeaa24b990	builtin/config: introduce `--default` For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist. In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the configuration. For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to `$fallback`, the following is required: $ git config core.foo \|\| echo "$fallback" This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express `$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes. This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values are correctly formatted. This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing `--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a `--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the `--default` flag introduced in this commit. For example, we aim to replace: $ git config --get-color variable [default] [...] with: $ git config --default default --type=color variable [...] Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the configuration. Specifically, this means that the following will work: $ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist 1048576 In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace `--get-color`.

Taylor Blau	fb0dc3bac1	builtin/config.c: support `--type=<type>` as preferred alias for `--<type>` `git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are canonicalized under that type. In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with `--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`. However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output", instead of "this value should be treated as a color". Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that `git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the future, if that is desired. In this patch, we support `--type=<int\|bool\|bool-or-int\|...>` in addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via `--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`. We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple, legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its commutative pair) does.

Taylor Blau	0a8950be5d	builtin/config.c: treat type specifiers singularly Internally, we represent `git config`'s type specifiers as a bitset using OPT_BIT. 'bool' is 1<<0, 'int' is 1<<1, and so on. This technique allows for the representation of multiple type specifiers in the `int types` field, but this multi-representation is left unused. In fact, `git config` will not accept multiple type specifiers at a time, as indicated by: $ git config --int --bool some.section error: only one type at a time. This patch uses `OPT_SET_INT` to prefer the _last_ mentioned type specifier, so that the above command would instead be valid, and a synonym of: $ git config --bool some.section This change is motivated by two urges: (1) it does not make sense to represent a singular type specifier internally as a bitset, only to complain when there are multiple bits in the set. `OPT_SET_INT` is more well-suited to this task than `OPT_BIT` is. (2) a future patch will introduce `--type=<type>`, and we would like not to complain in the following situation: $ git config --int --type=int Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	7 years ago

Martin Ågren	32888b8fd5	config: respect `pager.config` in list/get-mode only Similar to `de121ffe5` (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only, 2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect `pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config. We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those getters which may produce more than one line of output. `--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output, depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes, but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase and that will just open a can of worms. This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` and `git config --get foo.bar` respects `pager.config`.

This will return any relative or fixed dates from config files as timestamps.

Jeff King	0e5bba53af	add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it away. This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know _when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was early in the program, then it's probably a real and important leak. But if it was used right up until program exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress it so that we can see the real leaks. This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so. To understand its design, let's first look at some of the alternatives. Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A leak-checker basically knows two things: 1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the callstack during the allocation. 2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the program (and which are unreachable, but more on that later). Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK to leak. So imagine you have code like this: int cmd_foo(...) { /* this allocates some memory / char p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); return 0; } You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(), they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to know about those leaks. So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls some_function". That works, but your annotations are brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of the intermediate code changes, you have to update the suppression. What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about "p" in the first place. However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would report even globals which are still accessible when the leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory (like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on, transitively marking anything reachable from a global as "not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category). So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_() functions are called from other commands). Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That list is reachable even at program exit, which confers recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak. In other words, you can do: int cmd_foo(...) { char p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); UNLEAK(p); return 0; } to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report. But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has several advantages over actually freeing the memory: 1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p" is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a function which knows how to free all of the struct members. By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers reachability on any pointers it contains (including those found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking heap blocks recursively. 2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is allocated or not. For example: char p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function(); It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore our bytes. 3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_ been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip over those bytes as uninteresting. 4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable. This is helpful in cases like this: char p = some_function(); return another_function(p); Writing this with free() requires: int ret; char p = some_function(); ret = another_function(p); free(p); return ret; But with unleak we can just write: char p = some_function(); UNLEAK(p); return another_function(p); This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost. It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with LSAN. Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them both into strbuf_release() calls).

Jeff King	25cd291963	config: complain about --local outside of a git repo The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if you're not actually in a repository. Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write ".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no matching config value). Writing would generally fail noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since `b1ef400ee` (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git", 2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and die with an assertion. Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.

Jeff King	e4da43b1f0	prefix_filename: return newly allocated string The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

The two variables were needed earlier in the file in the newly introduced parseopt structure. These references were removed later in `d0e08d6` (config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1", 2014-11-20). Remove the redundant, younger, definitions near the top of the file and keep the original definitions that occur later.

Jeff King	aabbd3f3c9	config: fix bogus fd check when setting up default config Since `9830534` (config --global --edit: create a template file if needed, 2014-07-25), an edit of the global config file will try to open() it with O_EXCL, and wants to handle three cases: 1. We succeeded; the user has no config file, and we should fill in the default template. 2. We got EEXIST; they have a file already, proceed as usual. 3. We got another error; we should complain. However, the check for case 1 does "if (fd)", which will generally _always_ be true (except for the oddball case that somehow our stdin got closed and opening really did give us a new descriptor 0). So in the EEXIST case, we tried to write the default config anyway! Fortunately, this turns out to be a noop, since we just end up writing to and closing "-1", which does nothing. But in case 3, we would fail to notice any other errors, and just silently continue (given that we don't actually notice write errors for the template either, it's probably not that big a deal; we're about to spawn the editor, so it would notice any problems. But the code is clearly _trying_ to hit cover this case and failing). We can fix it easily by using "fd >= 0" for case 1.

John Keeping	27b30be686	config: fail if --get-urlmatch finds no value The --get, --get-all and --get-regexp options to git-config exit with status 1 if the key is not found but --get-urlmatch succeeds in this case. Change --get-urlmatch to behave in the same way as the other --get* options so that all four are consistent. --get-color is a special case because it accepts a default value to return and so should not return an error if the key is not found. Also clarify this behaviour in the documentation. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	9 years ago

Patrick Steinhardt	30598ad06f	config: rename git_config_set to git_config_set_gently The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into inconsistent repositories without noticing. As some code may rely on the actual return values for `git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set` functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for those callers.

Jeff King	3ec832c4b5	config: use xstrfmt in normalize_value We xmalloc a fixed-size buffer and sprintf into it; this is OK because the size of our formatting types is finite, but that's not immediately clear to a reader auditing sprintf calls. Let's switch to xstrfmt, which is shorter and obviously correct. Note that just dropping the common xmalloc here causes gcc to complain with -Wmaybe-uninitialized. That's because if "types" does not match any of our known types, we never write anything into the "normalized" pointer. With the current code, gcc doesn't notice because we always return a valid pointer (just one which might point to uninitialized data, but the compiler doesn't know that). In other words, the current code is potentially buggy if new types are added without updating this spot. So let's take this opportunity to clean up the function a bit more. We can drop the "normalized" pointer entirely, and just return directly from each code path. And then add an assertion at the end in case we haven't covered any cases.

Jeff King	f225987753	format_config: simplify buffer handling When formatting a config value into a strbuf, we may end up stringifying it into a fixed-size buffer using sprintf, and then copying that buffer into the strbuf. We can eliminate the middle-man (and drop some calls to sprintf!) by writing directly to the strbuf. The reason it was written this way in the first place is that we need to know before writing the value whether to insert a delimiter. Instead of delaying the write of the value, we speculatively write the delimiter, and roll it back in the single case that cares.

Jeff King	9f1429df17	format_config: don't init strbuf It's unusual for a function which writes to a passed-in strbuf to call strbuf_init; that will throw away anything already there, leaking memory. In this case, there are exactly two callers; one relies on this initialization and the other passes in an already-initialized buffer. There's no leak, as the initialized buffer doesn't have anything in it. But let's bump the strbuf_init out to the one caller who needs it, making format_config more idiomatic.

SZEDER Gábor	578625fa91	config: add '--name-only' option to list only variable names 'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config --list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config variable names from their values. However, such a parsing can't cope with multi-line values. Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase shells can't cope with null characters. Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues. Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and '--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names from their values anymore.

Jonathan Nieder	95d621217a	config: use error() instead of fprintf(stderr, ...) The die() / error() / warning() helpers put a fatal: / error: / warning: prefix in front of the error message they print describing the message's severity, which users are likely to be accustomed to seeing these days. This change will also be useful when marking the message for translation: the argument to error() includes no newline at the end, so it is less fussy for translators to translate without lines running together in the translated output. While we're here, start the error messages with a lowercase letter to match the usual typography of error messages. A quick web search and a code search at codesearch.debian.net finds no scripts trying to parse these error messages, so this change should be safe.

Jeff King	d0e08d6233	config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1" Most of git-config's command line options use OPT_BIT to choose an action, and then parse the non-option arguments in a context-dependent way. However, --get-color and --get-colorbool are unlike the rest of the options, in that they are OPT_STRING, taking the option name as a parameter. This generally works, because we then use the presence of those strings to set an action bit anyway. But it does mean that the option-parser will continue looking for options even after the key (because it is not a non-option; it is an argument to an option). And running: git config --get-color some.key -1 (to use "-1" as the default color spec) will barf, claiming that "-1" is not an option. Instead, we should treat --get-color and --get-colorbool as action bits, just like --add, --get, and all the other actions, and then check that the non-option arguments we got are sane. This fixes the weirdness above, and makes those two options like all the others. This "fixes" a test in t4026, which checked that feeding "-2" as a color should fail (it does fail, but prior to this patch, because parseopt barfed, not because we actually ever tried to parse the color). This also catches other errors, like: git config --get-color some.key black blue which previously silently ignored "blue" (and now will complain that you gave too many arguments). There are some possible regressions, though. We now disallow these, which currently do what you would expect: # specifying other options after the action git config --get-color some.key --file whatever # using long-arg syntax git config --get-color=some.key However, we have never advertised these in the documentation, and in fact they did not work in some older versions of git. The behavior was apparently switched as an accidental side effect of `d64ec16` (git config: reorganize to use parseopt, 2009-02-21).

Jeff King	f6c5a2968c	color_parse: do not mention variable name in error message Originally the color-parsing function was used only for config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so that the die() message could be something like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain' These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting error messages are a little confusing: $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format' $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line' This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the value, and then return an error code. Config callers can then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom message. After this patch these three cases now look like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse --pretty format $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse default color value Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	10 years ago
