Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in
3b40a090fd (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines,
2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for
use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags.
Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be
called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted
once.
It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy
callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work
if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header.
It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit
of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the
door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more
intuitive.
The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is
that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940 (xdiff: drop
XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

Instead of special-casing creations and deletions let's just generate
a diff for them.
This logic of not running a diff under -G if we don't have both sides
dates back to the original implementation of -S in
52e9578985 ([PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool
"pickaxe"., 2005-05-21).
In the case of -S we were not working with the xdiff interface and
needed to do this, but when -G was implemented in f506b8e8b5 (git
log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text, 2010-08-23)
this logic was diligently copied over.
But as the performance test added earlier in this series shows, this
does not make much of a difference. With:
time GIT_TEST_LONG= GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10 GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 CFLAGS=-O3' ./run origin/next HEAD~ HEAD -- p4209-pickaxe.sh
With the HEAD~ commit being the preceding "pickaxe -G: terminate early
on matching lines" we get these results. Note that it's only the -G
codepaths that are relevant to this change:

This small simplification really doesn't buy us much now, but I've got
plans to both convert the pickaxe code to using a PCREv2 backend[1]
and to implement additional pickaxe modes to do custom searches
through the diff[2]. Always having the diff available under -G is
going to help to simplify both of those changes.

This code is redundant to the check -G and -S get from

It was then later refactored in 8fa4b09fb1 (pickaxe: hoist empty

The -G<regex> option of log looks for the differences whose patch text
contains added/removed lines that match regex.
Currently -G looks also into patches of binary files (which
according to [1]) is binary as well.
This has a couple of issues:
- It makes the pickaxe search slow. In a proprietary repository of the
author with only ~5500 commits and a total .git size of ~300MB
searching takes ~13 seconds
$time git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m13,241s
user 0m12,596s
sys 0m0,644s
whereas when we ignore binary files with this patch it takes ~4s
$time ~/devel/git/git log -Gwave > /dev/null
real 0m3,713s
user 0m3,608s
sys 0m0,105s
which is a speedup of more than fourfold.
- The internally used algorithm for generating patch text is based on
xdiff and its states in [1]
> The output format of the binary patch file is proprietary
> (and binary) and it is basically a collection of copy and insert
> commands [..]
which means that the current format could change once the internal
algorithm is changed as the format is not standardized. In addition
the git binary patch format used for preparing patches for git apply
is *different* from the xdiff format as can be seen by comparing

The previous commit taught xdiff to optionally provide the hunk header

more convenient xdi_diff_outf() helper, which ensures that our callbacks
are always fed whole lines.
Let's plumb the special hunk-callback through this interface, too. It
will follow the same rule as xdiff when the hunk callback is NULL (i.e.,
continue to pass a stringified hunk header to the line callback). Since
we add NULL to each caller, there should be no behavior change yet.

It is apparently undefined behavior to call `regfree()` on a regex where
`regcomp()` failed. The language in [1] is a bit muddy, at least to me,
but the clearest hint is this (`preg` is the `regex_t *`):
Upon successful completion, the regcomp() function shall return 0.
Otherwise, it shall return an integer value indicating an error as
described in <regex.h>, and the content of preg is undefined.
Funnily enough, there is also the `regerror()` function which should be
given a pointer to such a "failed" `regex_t` -- the content of which
would supposedly be undefined -- and which may investigate it to come up
with a detailed error message.
In any case, the example in that document shows how `regfree()` is not
called after `regcomp()` fails.
We have quite a few users of this API and most get this right. These
three users do not.
Several implementations can handle this just fine [2] and these code paths
supposedly have not wreaked havoc or we'd have heard about it. (These
are all in code paths where git got bad input and is just about to die
anyway.) But let's just avoid the issue altogether.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.
Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:
$ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile
b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now
47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"
we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in
v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.
diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in
b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.
Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.
The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on
Windows.

The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.
We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).
Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later. This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).
In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper). But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.
Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.
We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).
There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

the search term, calls pickaxe() with the callback has_changes() and
cleans up afterwards. diffcore_pickaxe_grep() does the same, only it
doesn't support kwset and uses the callback diff_grep() instead. Merge
the two functions to form the new diffcore_pickaxe() and thus get rid of
the duplicate regex setup and cleanup code.

accccde4 (pickaxe: allow -i to search in patch case-insensitively)
allowed case-insenitive matching for -G and -S, but for the latter
only if fixed string matching is used. Allow it for -S and regular
expression matching as well to make the support complete.

Currently, diffcore-pickaxe reports two distinct errors for the same
user error:
$ git log --pickaxe-regex -S'\1'
fatal: invalid pickaxe regex: Invalid back reference
$ git log -G'\1'
fatal: invalid log-grep regex: Invalid back reference
This "log-grep" was only an internal name for the -G feature during
development, and invite confusion with "git log --grep=<pattern>".
Change the error messages to say "invalid regex".

The logic flow of has_changes() used for "log -S" and diff_grep()
used for "log -G" are essentially the same. See if we have both
sides that could be different in any interesting way, slurp the
contents in core, possibly after applying textconv, inspect the
contents, clean-up and report the result. The only difference
between the two is how "inspect" step works.
Unify this codeflow in a helper, pickaxe_match(), which takes a
callback function that implements the specific "inspect" step.
After removing the common scaffolding code from the existing
has_changes() and diff_grep(), they each becomes such a callback
function suitable for passing to pickaxe_match().

The diff_grep() and has_changes() functions had early return
codepaths for unmerged filepairs, which simply returned 0. When we
taught textconv filter to them, one was ignored and continued to
return early without freeing the result filtered by textconv, and
the other had a failed attempt to fix, which allowed the planned
return value 0 to be overwritten by a bogus call to contains().

These two functions are called in the same codeflow to implement
"log -S<block>" and "log -G<pattern>", respectively, but the latter
lacked two obvious optimizations the former implemented, namely:
- When a pickaxe limit is not given at all, they should return
without wasting any cycle;
- When both sides of the filepair are the same, and the same
textconv conversion apply to them, return early, as there will be
no interesting differences between the two anyway.
Also release the filespec data once the processing is done (this is
not about leaking memory--it is about releasing data we finished
looking at as early as possible).

fill_one is _almost_ identical to just calling fill_textconv; the
exception is that for the !DIFF_FILE_VALID case, fill_textconv gives us
an empty buffer rather than a NULL one. Since we currently use the NULL
pointer as a signal that the file is not present on one side of the
diff, we must now switch to using DIFF_FILE_VALID to make the same
check.

The fill_one() function is responsible for finding and filling the
textconv filter as necessary, and is called by diff_grep() function
that implements "git log -G<pattern>".
The has_changes() function that implements "git log -S<block>" calls
get_textconv() for two sides being compared, before it checks to see
if it was asked to perform the pickaxe limiting. Move the code
around to avoid this wastage.
After has_changes() calls get_textconv() to obtain textconv for both
sides, fill_one() is called to use them.
By adding get_textconv() to diff_grep() and relieving fill_one() of
responsibility to find the textconv filter, we can avoid calling
get_textconv() twice in has_changes().
With this change it's also no longer necessary for fill_one() to
modify the textconv argument, therefore pass a pointer instead of a
pointer to a pointer.

We currently just look at raw blob data when using "-S" to
pickaxe. This is mostly historical, as pickaxe predates the
textconv feature. If the user has bothered to define a
textconv filter, it is more likely that their search string will be
on the textconv output, as that is what they will see in the
diff (and we do not even provide a mechanism for them to
search for binary needles that contain NUL characters).
This patch teaches "-S" to use textconv, just as we
already do for "-G".

If we are given an empty pickaxe needle like "git log -S ''",
it is impossible for us to find anything (because no matter
what the content, the count will always be 0). We currently
check this at the lowest level of contains(). Let's hoist
the logic much earlier to has_changes(), so that it is
simpler to return our answer before loading any blob data.

If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured
textconv filter to the data before generating the diff.
However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not
bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token
in the added (or removed) content. This works because we
know that the diff must contain every line of content.
However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the
regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified
buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed
content. This could lead to an incorrect answer.
Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no
original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from
cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating
it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec
and segfault.

"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the
codebase that touched the <string>. As it was designed to be used by a
porcelain script to dig the history starting from a block of text that
appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an
exact match.
When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that
removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers,
however, it is useful to support case insensitive match.
When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally
was designed to affect case sensitivity of the search done in the commit
log part, e.g. "log --grep", the matches made with -S/-G pickaxe search is
done case insensitively now.

Remove the unused parameter needle from contains() and has_changes().
Also replace the parameter len with a pointer to the diff_options. We
can use its member pickaxe to check if the needle is an empty string
and use the kwsmatch structure to find out the length of the match
instead.
This change is done as a preparation to unify the signatures of
has_changes() and diff_grep(), which will be used in the patch after
the next one to factor out common code.
