Junio C Hamano	59362e560d	system_path(): always return free'able memory to the caller The function sometimes returns a newly allocated string and sometimes returns a borrowed string, the latter of which the callers must not free(). The existing callers all assume that the return value belongs to the callee and most of them copy it with strdup() when they want to keep it around. They end up leaking the returned copy when the callee returned a new string because they cannot tell if they should free it. Change the contract between the callers and system_path() to make the returned string owned by the callers; they are responsible for freeing it when done, but they do not have to make their own copy to store it away. Adjust the callers to make sure they do not leak the returned string once they are done, but do not bother freeing it just before dying, exiting or exec'ing other program to avoid unnecessary churn.

Ramsay Jones	9fe3edc47f	Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro The sentinel function attribute is not understood by versions of the gcc compiler prior to v4.0. At present, for earlier versions of gcc, the build issues 108 warnings related to the unknown attribute. In order to suppress the warnings, we conditionally define the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro to provide the sentinel attribute for gcc v4.0 and newer.

Jeff King	eccb614924	use "sentinel" function attribute for variadic lists This attribute can help gcc notice when callers forget to add a NULL sentinel to the end of the function. This is our first use of the sentinel attribute, but we shouldn't need to #ifdef for other compilers, as __attribute__ is already a no-op on non-gcc-compatible compilers.

Steve Haslam	4dd47c3b86	Refactor git_set_argv0_path() to git_extract_argv0_path() This commit moves the code that computes the dirname of argv[0] from git.c's main() to git_set_argv0_path() and renames the function to git_extract_argv0_path(). This makes the code in git.c's main less cluttered, and we can use the dirname computation from other main() functions too.

Steffen Prohaska	4933e5ebde	Refactor, adding prepare_git_cmd(const char argv) prepare_git_cmd(const char argv) adds a first entry "git" to the array argv. The new array is allocated on the heap. It's the caller's responsibility to release it with free(). The code was already present in execv_git_cmd() but could not be used from outside. Now it can also be called for preparing the command list in the MinGW codepath in run-command.c.

Johannes Sixt	e1464ca7bb	Record the command invocation path early We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for example via: main commit_pager_choice setup_pager git_config git_etc_gitconfig system_path Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as possible.

Steffen Prohaska	2de9de5e4a	Move code interpreting path relative to exec-dir to new function system_path() Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example for such a setup. This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path. system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR); [j6t: moved from path.c to exec_cmd.c] Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	17 years ago
Scott R Parish	511707d42b	use only the $PATH for exec'ing git commands We need to correctly set up $PATH for non-c based git commands. Since we already do this, we can just use that $PATH and execvp, instead of looping over the paths with execve. This patch adds a setup_path() function to exec_cmd.c, which sets the $PATH order correctly for our search order. execv_git_cmd() is stripped down to setting up argv and calling execvp(). git.c's main() only only needs to call setup_path().

Junio C Hamano	9201c70742	Const tightening. Mark Wooding noticed there was a type mismatch warning in git.c; this patch does things slightly differently (mostly tightening const) and was what I was holding onto, waiting for the setup-revisions change to be merged into the master branch.

Michal Ostrowski	77cb17e940	Exec git programs without using PATH. The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
