It's very very rare that an uncompressed object is larger than 4GB
(partly because Git does not handle those large files very well to
begin with). Let's optimize it for the common case where object size
is smaller than this limit.
Shrink size field down to 31 bits and one overflow bit. If the size is
too large, we read it back from disk. As noted in the previous patch,
we need to return the delta size instead of canonical size when the
to-be-reused object entry type is a delta instead of a canonical one.
Add two compare helpers that can take advantage of the overflow
bit (e.g. if the file is 4GB+, chances are it's already larger than
core.bigFileThreshold and there's no point in comparing the actual
value).
Another note about oe_get_size_slow(). This function MUST be thread
safe because SIZE() macro is used inside try_delta() which may run in
parallel. Outside parallel code, no-contention locking should be dirt
cheap (or insignificant compared to i/o access anyway). To exercise
this code, it's best to run the test suite with something like
make test GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE=4
which forces this code on all objects larger than 3 bytes.

Instead of using 8 bytes (on 64 bit arch) to store a pointer to a
pack. Use an index instead since the number of packs should be
relatively small.
This limits the number of packs we can handle to 1k. Since we can't be
sure people can never run into the situation where they have more than
1k pack files. Provide a fall back route for it.
If we find out they have too many packs, the new in_pack_by_idx[]
array (which has at most 1k elements) will not be used. Instead we
allocate in_pack[] array that holds nr_objects elements. This is
similar to how the optional in_pack_pos field is handled.
The new simple test is just to make sure the too-many-packs code path
is at least executed. The true test is running
make test GIT_TEST_FULL_IN_PACK_ARRAY=1
to take advantage of other special case tests.

The "--verbose" option redirects output from arbitrary
test commands to stdout. This is useful for examining the
output manually, like:
./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less
But it also means that the output is intermingled with the
TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove".
This has always been a potential problem, but became an
issue recently when one test happened to output the word
"ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test
success:
$ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v
t5547-push-quarantine.sh .. 1/? To dest.git
* [new branch] HEAD -> master
To dest.git
! [remote rejected] reject -> reject (pre-receive hook declined)

Bad plan. You planned 4 tests but ran 5.
Files=1, Tests=5, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.01 usr + 0.01 sys = 0.02 CPU)
Result: FAIL
One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not
quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose
--tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel
options, along with a verbose log in case there is a
failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log,
but keep stdout clean.
Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Here's the progression of alternatives I considered:
1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is
hard to capture, though, because we want each test to
have its own log (because they're all run in parallel
and the jumbled output would be useless).
2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in
test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of
the non-verbose output, which gives context.
3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output
to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output
that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't
a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache).
4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee"
file. That almost works, but now we have two processes
opening the same file. That gives us two separate
descriptors, each with their own idea of the current
position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and
overwrite each other's data.
5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending.
That atomically positions each write at the end of the
file.
It's possible we may still get sheared writes between
the two processes, but this is already the case when
writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice
because the test harness generally waits for snippets to
finish before writing the TAP output.
We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX
mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX
specifies "tee -a", so it should be available
everywhere.
This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well
in practice.

Passing "-x" to a test script enables the shell's "set -x"
tracing, which can help with tracking down the command that
is causing a failure. Unfortunately, it can also _cause_
failures in some tests that redirect the stderr of a shell
function. Inside the function the shell continues to
respect "set -x", and the trace output is collected along
with whatever stderr is generated normally by the function.
You can see an example of this by running:
./t0040-parse-options.sh -x -i
which will fail immediately in the first test, as it
expects:
test_must_fail some-cmd 2>output.err
to leave output.err empty (but with "-x" it has our trace
output).
Unfortunately there isn't a portable or scalable solution to
this. We could teach test_must_fail to disable "set -x", but
that doesn't help any of the other functions or subshells.
However, we can work around it by pointing the "set -x"
output to our descriptor 4, which always points to the
original stderr of the test script. Unfortunately this only
works for bash, but it's better than nothing (and other
shells will just ignore the BASH_XTRACEFD variable).
The patch itself is a simple one-liner, but note the caveats
in the accompanying comments.
Automatic tests for our "-x" option may be a bit too meta
(and a pain, because they are bash-specific), but I did
confirm that it works correctly both with regular "-x" and
with "--verbose-only=1". This works because the latter flips
"set -x" off and on for particular tests (if it didn't, we
would get tracing for all tests, as going to descriptor 4
effectively circumvents the verbose flag).

It's easy to miss an "&&"-chain in a test script, like:
test_expect_success 'check something important' '
cmd1 &&
cmd2
cmd3
'
The test harness will notice if cmd3 fails, but a failure of
cmd1 or cmd2 will go unnoticed, as their exit status is lost
after cmd3 runs.
The toy example above is easy to spot because the "cmds" are
all the same length, but real code is much more complicated.
It's also difficult to detect these situations by statically
analyzing the shell code with regexps (like the
check-non-portable-shell script does); there's too much
context required to know whether a &&-chain is appropriate
on a given line or not.
This patch instead lets the shell check each test by
sticking a command with a specific and unusual return code
at the top of each test, like:
(exit 117) &&
cmd1 &&
cmd2
cmd3
In a well-formed test, the non-zero exit from the first
command prevents any of the rest from being run, and the
test's exit code is 117. In a bad test (like the one above),
the 117 is lost, and cmd3 is run.
When we encounter a failure of this check, we abort the test
script entirely. For one thing, we have no clue which subset
of the commands in the test snippet were actually run.
Running further tests would be pointless, because we're now
in an unknown state. And two, this is not a "test failure"
in the traditional sense. The test script is buggy, not the
code it is testing. We should be able to fix these problems
in the script once, and not have them come back later as a
regression in git's code.
After checking a test snippet for --chain-lint, we do still
run the test itself. We could actually have a pure-lint
mode which just checks each test, but there are a few
reasons not to. One, because the tests are executing
arbitrary code, which could impact the later environment
(e.g., that could impact which set of tests we run at all).
And two, because a pure-lint mode would still be expensive
to run, because a significant amount of code runs outside of
the test_expect_* blocks. Instead, this option is designed
to be used as part of a normal test suite run, where it adds
very little overhead.
Turning on this option detects quite a few problems in
existing tests, which will be fixed in subsequent patches.
However, there are a number of places it cannot reach:
- it cannot find a failure to break out of loops on error,
like:
cmd1 &&
for i in a b c; do
cmd2 $i
done &&
cmd3
which will not notice failures of "cmd2 a" or "cmd b"
- it cannot find a missing &&-chain inside a block or
subfunction, like:
foo () {
cmd1
cmd2
}
foo &&
bar
which will not notice a failure of cmd1.
- it only checks tests that you run; every platform will
have some tests skipped due to missing prequisites,
so it's impossible to say from one run that the test
suite is free of broken &&-chains. However, all tests get
run by _somebody_, so eventually we will notice problems.
- it does not operate on test_when_finished or prerequisite
blocks. It could, but these tends to be much shorter and
less of a problem, so I punted on them in this patch.

Usually running a test under "-v" makes it clear which
command is failing. However, sometimes it can be useful to
also see a complete trace of the shell commands being run in
the test. You can do so without any support from the test
suite by running "sh -x tXXXX-foo.sh". However, this
produces quite a large bit of output, as we see a trace of
the entire test suite.
This patch instead introduces a "-x" option to the test
scripts (i.e., "./tXXXX-foo.sh -x"). When enabled, this
turns on "set -x" only for the tests themselves. This can
still be a bit verbose, but should keep things to a more
manageable level. You can even use "--verbose-only" to see
the trace only for a specific test.
The implementation is a little invasive. We turn on the "set
-x" inside the "eval" of the test code. This lets the eval
itself avoid being reported in the trace (which would be
long, and redundant with the verbose listing we already
showed). And then after the eval runs, we do some trickery
with stderr to avoid showing the "set +x" to the user.
We also show traces for test_cleanup functions (since they
can impact the test outcome, too). However, we do avoid
running the noop ":" cleanup (the default if the test does
not use test_cleanup at all), as it creates unnecessary
noise in the "set -x" output.

Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:

The git build system supports a NO_PERL switch to avoid installing
perl bindings or other features (like "git add --patch") that rely on
perl on runtime, but even with NO_PERL it has not been possible for a
long time to run tests without perl. Helpers such as
nul_to_q () {
"$PERL_PATH" -pe 'y/\000/Q/'
}
use perl as a better tr or sed and are regularly used in tests without
worrying to add a PERL prerequisite.
Perl is portable enough that it seems fine to keep relying on it for
this kind of thing in tests (and more readable than the alternative of
trying to find POSIXy equivalents). Update the test documentation to
clarify this.

note saying how to run commands under the same conditions as the test
suite does.

This adds just a "do it this way" instruction without a lot of explanation,
because the details are too complex to be explained at this point.

Some tests check their output with code like the following:
test "$(git ls-files -u B | wc -l)" -eq 3 || {
echo "BAD: should have left stages for B"
return 1
}
The verbose failure condition is used because test, unlike
diff, does not print any useful information about the
nature of the failure when it fails.
Introduce a test_line_count function to help. If used like
git ls-files -u B >output &&
test_line_count -eq 3 output
it will produce output like
test_line_count: line count for output !-eq 3
100644 b023018cabc396e7692c70bbf5784a93d3f738ab 2 hi.c
100644 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057 3 hi.c
on failure.
