Jeff King cf1464331b test-lib: check for leak logs after every test
If you are trying to find and fix leaks in a large test script, it can
be overwhelming to see the leak logs for every test at once. The
previous commit let you use "--immediate" to see the logs after the
first failing test, but this isn't always the first leak. As discussed
there, we may see leaks from previous tests that didn't happen to fail.

To catch those, let's check for any logs that appeared after each test
snippet is run, meaning that in a SANITIZE=leak build, any leak is an
immediate failure of the test snippet.

This check is mostly free in non-leak builds (just a "test -z"), and
only a few extra processes in a leak build, so I don't think the
overhead should matter (if it does, we could probably optimize for the
common "no logs" case without even spending a process).

Jeff King 5fabf6e5ad test-lib: show leak-sanitizer logs on --immediate failure
When we've compiled with SANITIZE=leak, at the end of the test script
we'll dump any collected logs to stdout. These logs have two uses:

  1. Leaks don't always cause a test snippet to fail (e.g., if they
     happen in a sub-process that we expect to return non-zero).
     Checking the logs catches these cases that we'd otherwise miss
     entirely.

  2. LSan will dump the leak info to stderr, but that is sometimes
     hidden (e.g., because it's redirected by the test, or because it's
     in a sub-process whose stderr goes elsewhere). Dumping the logs is
     the easiest way for the developer to see them.

One downside is that the set of logs for an entire script may be very
long, especially when you're trying to fix existing test scripts. You
can run with --immediate to stop at the first failing test, which means
we'll have accrued fewer logs. But we don't show the logs in that case!

Let's start doing so. This can only help case (2), of course (since it
depends on test failure). And it's somewhat weakened by the fact that
any cases of (1) will pollute the logs. But we can improve things
further in the next patch.

Jeff King 95c679ad86 test-lib: stop showing old leak logs
We ask LSan to record the logs of all leaks in test-results/, which is
useful for finding leaks that didn't trigger a test failure.

We don't clean out the leak/ directory for each test before running it,
though. Instead, we count the number of files it has, and complain only
if we ended up with more when the script finishes. So we shouldn't
trigger any output if you've made a script leak free. But if you simply
_reduced_ the number of leaks, then there is an annoying outcome: we do
not record which logs were from this run and which were from previous
ones. So when we dump them to stdout, you get a mess of
possibly-outdated leaks. This is very confusing when you are in an
edit-compile-test cycle trying to fix leaks.

The instructions do note that you should "rm -rf test-results/" if you
want to avoid this. But I'm having trouble seeing how this cumulative
count could ever be useful. It is not even counting the number of leaks,
but rather the number of processes with at least one leak!

So let's just blow away the per-test leak/ directory before running. We
already overwrite the ".out" file in test-results/ in the same way, so
this is following that pattern.

Running "make test" isn't affected by this, since it blows away all of
test-results/ already. This only comes up when you are iterating on a
single script that you're running manually.

Jeff King 83799f1500 t9001: use a more distinct fake BugID
In the test "cc list is sanitized", we feed a commit with a variety of
trailers to send-email, and then check its output to see how it handled
them. For most of them, we are grepping for a specific mention of the
header, but there's a "BugID" header which we expect to be ignored. We
confirm this by grepping for "12345", the fake BugID, and making sure it
is not present.

But we can be fooled by false positives! I just tracked down a flaky
test failure here that was caused by matching this unrelated line in the
output:

  <20240914090449.612345-1-author@example.com>

which will change from run to run based on the time, pid, etc.

Ideally we'd tighten the regex to make this more specifically, but since
the point is that it _shouldn't_ be mentioned, it's hard to say what the
right match would be (e.g., would there be a leading space?).

Instead, let's just choose a match that is much less likely to appear.
The actual content of the header isn't important, since it's supposed to
be ignored.

Jeff King 083b82544d git-jump: ignore deleted files in diff mode
If you do something like this:

  rm file_a
  echo change >file_b
  git jump diff

then we'll generate two quickfix entries for the diff, one for each
file. But the one for the deleted file is rather pointless. There's no
content to show since the file is gone, and in fact we open the editor
with the path /dev/null!

In vim, at least, the result is a confusing annoyance: the editor opens
with an empty buffer, and you have to skip past it to the useful
quickfix entry (after scratching your head and figuring out that no,
nothing is broken).

Let's skip such entries entirely. There's nothing useful to show, since
the point is that the file has been deleted.

It is possible that you could be doing a diff whose post-image is not
the working tree, and then you'd perhaps be jumping to the deleted
content (or at least something that was in the same spot). But I don't
think it's worth worrying about that case. For one thing, using git-jump
for such diffs is a bad idea in general, as it's going to sometimes move
you to the wrong spot. And two, a deletion is always going to have one
hunk starting at line 1, which is not that interesting to jump to in the
first place.

Jeff King 9f5978e777 git-jump: always specify column 1 for diff entries
When we generate a quickfix entry for a diff hunk, we provide just the
filename and line number along with the content, like:

  file:1: contents of the line

This can be a problem if the line itself looks like a quickfix header.
For example (and this is adapted from a real-world case that bit me):

  echo 'static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1' >file
  git add file
  echo change >file

produces:

  file:1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1

which is ambiguous. It could be line 1 of "file", or line 11 of the file
"file:1: static_lease 10", and so on. In the case of vim's default
config, it seems to prefer the latter (you can configure "errorformat"
with a variety of patterns, but out of the box it matches some common
ones).

One easy way to fix this is to provide a column number, like:

  file:1:1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1

which causes vim to prefer line 1 of "file" again (due to the preference
order of the various patterns in the default errorformat).

There are other options. For example, at least in my version of vim,
wrapping the file in quotation marks like:

  "file":1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1

also works. That perhaps would the right thing even if you had the silly
file name "file:1:1: foo 10". But it's not clear what would happen if
you had a filename with quotes in it.

This feature is inherently scraping text, and there's bound to be some
ambiguities. I don't think it's worth worrying too much about unlikely
filenames, as its the file content that is more likely to introduce
unexpected characters.

So let's just go with the extra ":1" column specifier. We know this is
supported everywhere, as git-jump's "grep" mode already uses it (and
thus doesn't exhibit the same problem).

The "merge" mode is mostly immune to this, as it only matches "<<<<<<<"
conflict marker lines. It's possible of course to have a marker that
says "foo 10:11" later in the line, but in practice these will only have
branches and perhaps file names, so it's probably not worth worrying
about (and fixing it would involve passing --column to the system grep,
which may not be portable).

I also gave some thought as to whether we could put something more
useful than "1" in the column field for diffs. In theory we could find
the first changed character of the line, but this is tricky in practice.
You'd have to correlate before/after lines of the hunk to decide what
changed. So:

  -this is a foo line
  +this is a bar line

is easy (column 11). But:

  -this is a foo line
  +another line
  +this is a bar line

is harder.

This commit certainly doesn't preclude trying to do something more
clever later, but it's a much deeper rabbit hole than just fixing the
syntactic ambiguity.

Jeff King 6e7fac9bca print an error when remote helpers die during capabilities
The transport-helper code generally relies on the
remote-helper to provide an informative message to the user
when it encounters an error. In the rare cases where the
helper does not do so, the output can be quite confusing.
E.g.:

  $ git clone https://example.com/foo.git
  Cloning into 'foo'...
  $ echo $?
  128
  $ ls foo
  /bin/ls: cannot access foo: No such file or directory

We tried to address this with 81d340d (transport-helper:
report errors properly, 2013-04-10).

But that makes the common case much more confusing. The
remote helper protocol's method for signaling normal errors
is to simply hang up. So when the helper does encounter a
routine error and prints something to stderr, the extra
error message is redundant and misleading. So we dropped it
again in 266f1fd (transport-helper: be quiet on read errors
from helpers, 2013-06-21).

This puts the uncommon case right back where it started. We
may be able to do a little better, though. It is common for
the helper to die during a "real" command, like fetching the
list of remote refs. It is not common for it to die during
the initial "capabilities" negotiation, right after we
start. Reporting failure here is likely to catch fundamental
problems that prevent the helper from running (and reporting
errors) at all. Anything after that is the responsibility of
the helper itself to report.
