Change the pattern compilation logic under threading so that grep
doesn't compile a pattern it never ends up using on the non-threaded
code path, only to compile it again N times for N threads which will
each use their own copy, ignoring the initially compiled pattern.
This redundant compilation dates back to the initial introduction of
the threaded grep in commit 5b594f457a ("Threaded grep",
2010-01-25).
There was never any reason for doing this redundant work other than an
oversight in the initial commit. Jeff King suggested on-list in
<20170414212325.fefrl3qdjigwyitd@sigill.intra.peff.net> that this
might be needed to check the pattern for sanity before threaded
execution commences.
That's not the case. The pattern is compiled under threading in
start_threads() before any concurrent execution has started by calling
pthread_create(), so if the pattern contains an error we still do the
right thing. I.e. die with one error before any threaded execution has
commenced, instead of e.g. spewing out an error for each N threads,
which could be a regression a change like this might inadvertently
introduce.
This change is not meant as an optimization, any performance gains
from this are in the hundreds to thousands of nanoseconds at most. If
we wanted more performance here we could just re-use the compiled
patterns in multiple threads (regcomp(3) is thread-safe), or partially
re-use them and the associated structures in the case of later PCRE
JIT changes.
Rather, it's just to make the code easier to reason about. It's
confusing to debug this under threading & non-threading when the
threading codepaths redundantly compile a pattern which is never used.
The reason the patterns are recompiled is as a side-effect of
duplicating the whole grep_opt structure, which is not thread safe,
writable, and munged during execution. The grep_opt structure then
points to the grep_pat structure where pattern or patterns are stored.
I looked into e.g. splitting the API into some "do & alloc threadsafe
stuff", "spawn thread", "do and alloc non-threadsafe stuff", but the
execution time of grep_opt_dup() & pattern compilation is trivial
compared to actually executing the grep, so there was no point. Even
with the more expensive JIT changes to follow the most expensive PCRE
patterns take something like 0.0X milliseconds to compile at most[1].
The undocumented --debug mode added in commit 17bf35a3c7 ("grep: teach
--debug option to dump the parse tree", 2012-09-13) still works
properly with this change. It only emits debugging info during pattern
compilation, which is now dumped by the pattern compiled just before
the first thread is started.

Change the grep_{lock,unlock} functions to assert that num_threads is
true, instead of only locking & unlocking the pthread mutex lock when

These functions are never called when num_threads isn't true, this
logic has gone through multiple iterations since the initial
introduction of grep threading in commit 5b594f457a ("Threaded grep",

Add a die(...) to a default case for the switch statement selecting
between grep pattern types under --recurse-submodules.
Normally this would be caught by -Wswitch, but the grep_pattern_type
type is converted to int by going through parse_options(). Changing
the argument type passed to compile_submodule_options() won't work,
the value will just get coerced. The -Wswitch-default warning will
warn about it, but that produces a lot of noise across the codebase,
this potential issue would be drowned in that noise.
Thus catching this at runtime is the least bad option. This won't ever
trigger in practice, but if a new pattern type were to be added this
catches an otherwise silent bug during development.

Commit 0281e487fd ("grep: optionally recurse into submodules")
added functions grep_submodule() and grep_submodule_launch() which
use "struct work_item" which is defined only when thread support
is available.
The original implementation of grep_submodule() used the "struct
work_item" in order to gain access to a strbuf to store its output which
was to be printed at a later point in time. This differs from how both
grep_file() and grep_sha1() handle their output. This patch eliminates
the reliance on the "struct work_item" and instead opts to use the
output function stored in the output field of the "struct grep_opt"
object directly, making it behave similarly to both grep_file() and
grep_sha1().

When using the --recurse-submodules flag with a relative pathspec which
includes "..", an error is produced inside the child process spawned for
a submodule. When creating the pathspec struct in the child, the ".."
is interpreted to mean "go up a directory" which causes an error stating
that the path ".." is outside of the repository.
While it is true that ".." is outside the scope of the submodule, it is
confusing to a user who originally invoked the command where ".." was
indeed still inside the scope of the superproject. Since the child
process launched for the submodule has some context that it is operating
underneath a superproject, this error could be avoided.
This patch fixes the bug by passing the 'prefix' to the child process.
Now each child process that works on a submodule has two points of
reference to the superproject: (1) the 'super_prefix' which is the path
from the root of the superproject down to root of the submodule and (2)
the 'prefix' which is the path from the root of the superproject down to
the directory where the user invoked the git command.
With these two pieces of information a child process can correctly
interpret the pathspecs provided by the user as well as being able to
properly format its output relative to the directory the user invoked
the original command from.

git-grep has always disallowed grepping in a tree (as
opposed to the working directory) with both --untracked
and --no-index. But we traditionally did so by first
collecting the revs, and then complaining when any were
provided.
The --no-index option recently learned to detect revs
much earlier. This has two user-visible effects:
- we don't bother to resolve revision names at all. So
when there's a rev/path ambiguity, we always choose to
treat it as a path.
- likewise, when you do specify a revision without "--",
the error you get is "no such path" and not "--untracked
cannot be used with revs".
The rationale for doing this with --no-index is that it is
meant to be used outside a repository, and so parsing revs
at all does not make sense.
This patch gives --untracked the same treatment. While it
_is_ meant to be used in a repository, it is explicitly
about grepping the non-repository contents. Telling the user
"we found a rev, but you are not allowed to use revs" is
not really helpful compared to "we treated your argument as
a path, and could not find it".

We disallow the use of revisions with --no-index, but we
don't actually check and complain until well after we've
parsed the revisions.
This is the cause of a few problems:
1. We shouldn't be calling get_sha1() at all when we aren't
in a repository, as it might access the ref or object
databases. For now, this should generally just return
failure, but eventually it will become a BUG().
2. When there's a "--" disambiguator and you're outside a
repository, we'll complain early with "unable to resolve
revision". But we can give a much more specific error.
3. When there isn't a "--" disambiguator, we still do the
normal rev/path checks. This is silly, as we know we
cannot have any revs with --no-index. Everything we see
must be a path.
Outside of a repository this doesn't matter (since we
know it won't resolve), but inside one, we may complain
unnecessarily if a filename happens to also match a
refname.
This patch skips the get_sha1() call entirely in the
no-index case, and behaves as if it failed (with the
exception of giving a better error message).

If we see "git grep pattern rev -- file" then we apply the
usual rev/pathspec disambiguation rules: any "rev" before
the "--" must be a revision, and we do not need to apply the
verify_non_filename() check.
But there are two bugs here:
1. We keep a seen_dashdash flag to handle this case, but
we set it in the same left-to-right pass over the
arguments in which we parse "rev".
So when we see "rev", we do not yet know that there is
a "--", and we mistakenly complain if there is a
matching file.
We can fix this by making a preliminary pass over the
arguments to find the "--", and only then checking the rev
arguments.
2. If we can't resolve "rev" but there isn't a dashdash,
that's OK. We treat it like a path, and complain later
if it doesn't exist.
But if there _is_ a dashdash, then we know it must be a
rev, and should treat it as such, complaining if it
does not resolve. The current code instead ignores it
and tries to treat it like a path.
This patch fixes both bugs, and tries to comment the parsing
flow a bit better.
It adds tests that cover the two bugs, but also some related
situations (which already worked, but this confirms that our
fixes did not break anything).

We loop over the arguments, but every branch of the loop
hits either a "continue" or a "break". Surely we can make

The final conditional is:

break;
We can rewrite this as:

This is because "git grep" tries to interpret "--" as a rev. "git grep"
has always tried to first interpret "--" as a rev for at least a few
years, but this issue was upgraded from a pessimization to a bug in
commit 59332d1 ("Resurrect "git grep --no-index"", 2010-02-06), which
calls get_sha1 regardless of whether --no-index was specified. This bug
appeared to be benign until commit b1ef400 ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20) when Git was taught to die in this
situation. (This "git grep" bug appears to be one of the bugs that
commit b1ef400 is meant to flush out.)
Therefore, always interpret "--" as signaling the end of options,
instead of trying to interpret it as a rev first.

Originally, we set up the threads for grep before parsing
the non-option arguments. In 53b8d931b (grep: disable
threading in non-worktree case, 2011-12-12), the thread code
got bumped lower in the function because it now needed to
know whether we got any revision arguments.
That put a big block of code in between the parsing of revs
and the parsing of pathspecs, both of which share some loop
variables. That makes it harder to read the code than the
original, where the shared loops were right next to each
other.

If a submodule was renamed at any point since it's inception then if you
were to try and grep on a commit prior to the submodule being moved, you
wouldn't be able to find a working directory for the submodule since the
path in the past is different from the current path.
This patch teaches grep to find the .git directory for a submodule in
the parents .git/modules/ directory in the event the path to the
submodule in the commit that is being searched differs from the state of
the currently checked out commit. If found, the child process that is
spawned to grep the submodule will chdir into its gitdir instead of a
working directory.
In order to override the explicit setting of submodule child process's
gitdir environment variable (which was introduced in '10f5c526')
`GIT_DIR_ENVIORMENT` needs to be pushed onto child process's env_array.
This allows the searching of history from a submodule's gitdir, rather
than from a working directory.

Teach grep to recursively search in submodules when provided with a

When grep is provided with a <tree> object, the name of the object is
prefixed to all output. In order to provide uniformity of output
between the parent and child processes the option `--parent-basename`
has been added so that the child can preface all of it's output with the
name of the parent's object instead of the name of the commit SHA1 of
the submodule. This changes output from the command
`git grep -e. -l --recurse-submodules HEAD` from:

Allow grep to recognize submodules and recursively search for patterns in
each submodule. This is done by forking off a process to recursively
call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is
used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to
prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic.
Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and
checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been
initialized and checked out it is simply skipped.
In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep,
output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be
later printed to the console in an ordered fashion.
To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has
half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we
potentailly have a fork-bomb.

This reverts commit 4d5520053 (grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are
ignored, 2015-12-27) and adds an alternative fix to maintain the -L
--cached behavior.
4d5520053 caused 'git grep' to no longer find matches in new files in
the working tree where the corresponding index entry had the "intent to
add" bit set, despite the fact that these files are tracked.
The content in the index of a file for which the "intent to add" bit is
set is considered indeterminate and not empty. For most grep queries we
want these to behave the same, however for -L --cached (files without a
match) we don't want to respond positively for "intent to add" files as
their contents are indeterminate. This is in contrast to files with
empty contents in the index (no lines implies no matches for any grep
query expression) which should be reported in the output of a grep -L
--cached invocation.
Add tests to cover this case and a few related cases which previously
lacked coverage.

If we are running "git grep --no-index" outside of a git
repository, we behave roughly like "grep -r", examining all
files in the current directory and its subdirectories.
However, because we use fill_directory() to do the
recursion, it will skip over any directories which look like
sub-repositories.
For a normal git operation (like "git grep" in a repository)
this makes sense; we do not want to cross the boundary out
of our current repository into a submodule. But for
"--no-index" without a repository, we should look at all
files, including embedded repositories.
There is one exception, though: we probably should _not_
descend into ".git" directories. Doing so is inefficient and
unlikely to turn up useful hits.
This patch drops our use of dir.c's gitlink-detection, but
we do still avoid ".git". That makes us more like tools such
as "ack" or "ag", which also know to avoid cruft in .git.
As a bonus, this also drops our usage of the ref code
when we are outside of a repository, making the transition
to pluggable ref backends cleaner.

There are many manual argv allocations that predate the
argv_array API. Switching to that API brings a few
advantages:
1. We no longer have to manually compute the correct final
array size (so it's one less thing we can screw up).
2. In many cases we had to make a separate pass to count,
then allocate, then fill in the array. Now we can do it
in one pass, making the code shorter and easier to
follow.
3. argv_array handles memory ownership for us, making it
more obvious when things should be free()d and and when
not.
Most of these cases are pretty straightforward. In some, we
switch from "run_command_v" to "run_command" which lets us

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt-
like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for
end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:
- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]
- Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...]

When you resolve a sha1, you can optionally keep any context
found during the resolution, including the path and mode of
a tree entry (e.g., when looking up "HEAD:subdir/file.c").
The add_object_array_with_context function lets you then
attach that context to an entry in a list. Unfortunately,
the interface for doing so is horrible. The object_context
structure is large and most object_array users do not use
it. Therefore we keep a pointer to the structure to avoid
burdening other users too much. But that means when we do
use it that we must allocate the struct ourselves. And the
struct contains a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which makes
this wholly unsuitable for any large arrays.
We can observe that there is only a single user of the
"with_context" variant: builtin/grep.c. And in that use
case, the only element we care about is the path. We can
therefore store only the path as a pointer (the context's
mode field was redundant with the object_array_entry itself,
and nobody actually cared about the surrounding tree). This
still requires a strdup of the pathname, but at least we are
only consuming the minimum amount of memory for each string.
We can also handle the copying ourselves in
add_object_array_*, and free it as appropriate in
object_array_release_entry.

When <command> happens to be the magic string "less", today
git grep -O<command> -e<pattern>
helpfully passes +/<pattern> to less so you can navigate through
the results within a file using the n and shift+n keystrokes.
Alas, that doesn't do the right thing for a case-insensitive match,
i.e.
git grep -i -O<command> -e<pattern>
For that case we should pass --IGNORE-CASE to "less" so that n and
shift+n can move between results ignoring case in the pattern.
The original patch came from msysgit and used "-i", but that was not
due to lack of support for "-I" but it merely overlooked that it
ought to work even when the pattern contains capital letters.

Git generally changes directory to the repository root on
startup. When running "grep --open-files-in-pager" from a
subdirectory, we chdir back to the original directory before
running the pager, so that we can feed the relative
pathnames to the pager.
We currently do this chdir manually, but we can ask
run_command to do it for us. This is fewer lines of code,
and as a bonus, the chdir is limited to the child process,
which avoids any unexpected surprises for code running after
the pager (there isn't any currently, but this is
future-proofing).

This helps reduce the number of match_pathspec_depth() call sites and
show how m_p_d() is used. And it usage is:
- match against an index entry (ce_path_match or match_pathspec_depth
in ls-files)
- match against a dir_entry from read_directory (dir_path_match and
match_pathspec_depth in clean.c, which will be converted later)
- resolve-undo (rerere.c and ls-files.c)

This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN,
2011-09-27). All occurrences of the respective variables have
been reviewed and none of them relied on the counting up mechanism,
but all of them were using the variable as a true boolean.
This patch does not change semantics of any command intentionally.

match_pathspec_depth() and tree_entry_interesting() check max_depth
field in order to support "git grep --max-depth". The feature
activation is tied to "recursive" field, which led to some unwanted
activation, e.g. 5c8eeb8 (diff-index: enable recursive pathspec
matching in unpack_trees - 2012-01-15).
This patch decouples the activation from "recursive" field, puts it in
"magic" field instead. This makes sure that only "git grep" can
activate this feature. And because parse_pathspec knows when the
feature is not used, it does not need to sort pathspec (required for
max_depth to work correctly). A small win for non-grep cases.
Even though a new magic flag is introduced, no magic syntax is. The
magic can be only enabled by parse_pathspec() caller. We might someday
want to support ":(maxdepth:10)src." It all depends on actual use
cases.
max_depth feature cannot be enabled via init_pathspec() anymore. But
that's ok because init_pathspec() is on its way to /dev/null.

These call sites follow the pattern:
paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);
which can be converted into a single parse_pathspec() call.
