Linus Torvalds	48fb7deb5b	Fix big left-shifts of unsigned char Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to the shift (or due to other operations). This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type (eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the original expression being unsigned. One example of this would be something like unsigned long size; unsigned char c; size += c << 24; where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in an 'unsigned long' type. Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this bug in a couple of places. I may have missed some, but this is the result of looking at git grep '[^0-9 ][ ]<<[ ][a-z]' -- '.c' '.h' git grep '<<[ ]24' which catches at least the common byte cases (shifting variables by a variable amount, and shifting by 24 bits). I also grepped for just 'unsigned char' variables in general, and converted the ones that most obviously ended up getting implicitly cast immediately anyway (eg hash_name(), encode_85()). In addition to just avoiding 'unsigned char', this patch also tries to use a common idiom for the delta header size thing. We had three different variations on it: "& 0x7fUL" in one place (getting the sign extension right), and "& ~0x80" and "& 0x7f" in two other places (not getting it right). Apart from making them all just avoid using "unsigned char" at all, I also unified them to then use a simple "& 0x7f". I considered making a sparse extension which warns about doing implicit casts from unsigned types to signed types, but it gets rather complex very quickly, so this is just a hack.

Nicolas Pitre	57b73150c4	make patch_delta() error cases a bit more verbose It is especially important to distinguish between a malloc() failure from all the other cases. An out of memory condition is much less worrisome than a compatibility/corruption problem. Also make test-delta compilable again.

Florian Forster	1d7f171c3a	Remove all void-pointer arithmetic. ANSI C99 doesn't allow void-pointer arithmetic. This patch fixes this in various ways. Usually the strategy that required the least changes was used. Signed-off-by: Florian Forster <octo@verplant.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	ac4c758adc	delta: stricter constness Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Nicolas Pitre	08abe669c0	split the diff-delta interface This patch splits the diff-delta interface into index creation and delta generation. A wrapper is provided to preserve the diff-delta() call. This will allow for an optimization in pack-objects.c where the source object could be fixed and a full window of objects tentatively tried against that same source object without recomputing the source index each time. This patch only restructure things, plus a couple cleanups for good measure. There is no performance change yet. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>	19 years ago
Nicolas Pitre	8960844a78	check patch_delta bounds more carefully Let's avoid going south with invalid delta data. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Nicolas Pitre	d60fc1c864	remove delta-against-self bit After experimenting with code to add the ability to encode a delta against part of the deltified file, it turns out that resulting packs are _bigger_ than when this ability is not used. The raw delta output might be smaller, but it doesn't compress as well using gzip with a negative net saving on average. Said bit would in fact be more useful to allow for encoding the copying of chunks larger than 64KB providing more savings with large files. This will correspond to packs version 3. While the current code still produces packs version 2, it is made future proof so pack versions 2 and 3 are accepted. Any pack version 2 are compatible with version 3 since the redefined bit was never used before. When enough time has passed, code to use that bit to produce version 3 packs could be added.

Sergey Vlasov	ce726ec8d8	[PATCH] NUL terminate the object data in patch_delta() At least pretty_print_commit() expects to get NUL-terminated commit data to work properly. unpack_sha1_rest(), which reads objects from separate files, and unpack_non_delta_entry(), which reads non-delta-compressed objects from pack files, already add the NUL byte after the object data, but patch_delta() did not do it, which caused problems with, e.g., git-rev-list --pretty when there are delta-compressed commit objects.

Nicolas Pitre	dcde55bc58	[PATCH] assorted delta code cleanup This is a wrap-up patch including all the cleanups I've done to the delta code and its usage. The most important change is the factorization of the delta header handling code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Nicolas Pitre	69a2d426f0	[PATCH] denser delta header encoding Since the delta data format is not tied to any actual git object anymore, now is the time to add a small improvement to the delta data header as it is been done for packed object header. This patch allows for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Nicolas Pitre	a310d43494	[PATCH] Deltification library work by Nicolas Pitre. This patch adds the basic library functions to create and replay delta information. Also included is a test-delta utility to validate the code. diff-delta was based on LibXDiff written by Davide Libenzi Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
