Junio C Hamano	a6080a0a44	War on whitespace This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

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.

Pavel Roskin	82e5a82fd7	Fix more typos, primarily in the code The only visible change is that git-blame doesn't understand "--compability" anymore, but it does accept "--compatibility" instead, which is already documented.

Johannes Schindelin	0d21efa51c	Teach diff about -b and -w flags This adds -b (--ignore-space-change) and -w (--ignore-all-space) flags to diff. The main part of the patch is teaching libxdiff about it. [jc: renamed xdl_line_match() to xdl_recmatch() since the former is used for different purposes in xpatchi.c which is in the parts of the upstream source we do not use.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

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

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
