Nicolas Pitre	0ab179504a	get rid of lookup_object_type() This function is called only once in the whole source tree. Let's move its code inline instead, which is also in the spirit of removing as much object type char arrays as possible (not that this patch does anything for that but at least it is now a local matter).

Nicolas Pitre	21666f1aae	convert object type handling from a string to a number We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place. This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the system.

Nicolas Pitre	df8436622f	formalize typename(), and add its reverse type_from_string() Sometime typename() is used, sometimes type_names[] is accessed directly. Let's enforce typename() all the time which allows for validating the type. Also let's add a function to go from a name to a type and use it instead of manual memcpy() when appropriate.

Junio C Hamano	9f613ddd21	Add git-for-each-ref: helper for language bindings This adds a new command, git-for-each-ref. You can have it iterate over refs and have it output various aspects of the objects they refer to. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	72518e9c26	more lightweight revalidation while reusing deflated stream in packing When copying from an existing pack and when copying from a loose object with new style header, the code makes sure that the piece we are going to copy out inflates well and inflate() consumes the data in full while doing so. The check to see if the xdelta really apply is quite expensive as you described, because you would need to have the image of the base object which can be represented as a delta against something else.

Linus Torvalds	1974632c66	Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently. This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

Junio C Hamano	160b798303	revert clear-commit-marks for now. Earlier change broke "git describe A B" among other things. Revert it for now, and clean the commits smudged by get_merge_bases using clear_object_marks() function. For complex commit ancestry graph, this is way cheaper as well.

Linus Torvalds	fc046a75d5	Abstract out accesses to object hash array There are a few special places where some programs accessed the object hash array directly, which bothered me because I wanted to play with some simple re-organizations. So this patch makes the object hash array data structures all entirely local to object.c, and the few users who wanted to look at it now get to use a function to query how many object index entries there can be, and to actually access the array.

Linus Torvalds	1f1e895fcc	Add "named object array" concept We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

Linus Torvalds	3e4339e6f9	Remove "refs" field from "struct object" This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible. It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the object. The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally ignore it. This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual allocation overhead mostly does not. [ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking its effective allocation size. To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ] The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

Linus Torvalds	d3ff6f5501	Move "void *util" from "struct object" into "struct commit" Every single user actually wanted this only for commit objects, and we have no reason to waste space on it for other object types. So just move the structure member from the low-level "struct object" into the "struct commit". This leaves the commit object the same size, and removes one unnecessary pointer from all other object allocations. This shrinks memory usage (still at a fairly hefty half-gig, admittedly) of "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla repo by another 5% in my tests.

Linus Torvalds	885a86abe2	Shrink "struct object" a bit This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

Junio C Hamano	8f1d2e6f49	[PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration. ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array at the end of a structure, like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[]; /* more / }; GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]"; unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90. This declares such construct like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; / more */ }; and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and empty for others. If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the command line of "make". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

Sergey Vlasov	4a4e6fd74f	Rework object refs tracking to reduce memory usage Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead of linked list. This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of 7 MB before the change. Object refs are still the biggest consumer of memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a linked list is substantially smaller.

Linus Torvalds	8805ccac40	[PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not needed The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it. However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight. So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to disable it, and use it in git-rev-list. Before: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD \| wc -l 12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 After this change: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD \| wc -l 10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB). Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time), but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

jon@blackcubes.dyndns.org	a3437b8c26	[PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order. This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt. The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent relationship. With this patch a graph like this: a4 --- \| \ \ \| b4 \| \|/ \| \| a3 \| \| \| \| \| a2 \| \| \| \| c3 \| \| \| \| \| c2 \| b3 \| \| \| /\| \| b2 \| \| \| c1 \| \| / \| b1 a1 \| \| \| a0 \| \| / root Sorts like this: = a4 \| c3 \| c2 \| c1 ^ b4 \| b3 \| b2 \| b1 ^ a3 \| a2 \| a1 \| a0 = root Instead of this: = a4 \| c3 ^ b4 \| a3 ^ c2 ^ b3 ^ a2 ^ b2 ^ c1 ^ a1 ^ b1 ^ a0 = root A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order flag specified. To see this, do the following: cd t ./t6000-rev-list.sh cd trash cat actual-default-order cat actual-merge-order The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks on the command line. This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6 repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm. This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated with Linus' commit `337cb3fb8d`. This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c. (see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c) This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.
