The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

When close_tempfile() fails, we delete the tempfile and
reset the fields of the tempfile struct. This makes it
easier for callers to return without cleaning up, but it
also makes this common pattern:
if (close_tempfile(tempfile))
return error_errno("error closing %s", tempfile->filename.buf);
wrong, because the "filename" field has been reset after the
failed close. And it's not easy to fix, as in many cases we
don't have another copy of the filename (e.g., if it was
created via one of the mks_tempfile functions, and we just
have the original template string).
Let's drop the feature that a failed close automatically
deletes the file. This puts the burden on the caller to do
the deletion themselves, but this isn't that big a deal.
Callers which do:
if (write(...) || close_tempfile(...)) {
delete_tempfile(...);
return -1;
}
already had to call delete when the write() failed, and so
aren't affected. Likewise, any caller which just calls die()
in the error path is OK; we'll delete the tempfile during
the atexit handler.
Because this patch changes the semantics of close_tempfile()
without changing its signature, all callers need to be
manually checked and converted to the new scheme. This patch
covers all in-tree callers, but there may be others for
not-yet-merged topics. To catch these, we rename the
function to close_tempfile_gently(), which will attract
compile-time attention to new callers. (Technically the
original could be considered "gentle" already in that it
didn't die() on errors, but this one is even more so).

If close_tempfile() encounters an error, then it deletes the
tempfile and resets the "struct tempfile". But many code
paths ignore the return value and continue to use the
tempfile. Instead, we should generally treat this the same
as a write() error.
Note that in the postimage of some of these cases our error
message will be bogus after a failed close because we look
at tempfile->filename (either directly or via get_tempfile_path).
But after the failed close resets the tempfile object, this
is guaranteed to be the empty string. That will be addressed
in a future patch (because there are many more cases of the
same problem than just these instances).
Note also in the hunk in gpg-interface.c that it's fine to
call delete_tempfile() in the error path, even if
close_tempfile() failed and already deleted the file. The
tempfile code is smart enough to know the second deletion is
a noop.

define a custom callback function to make it possible to extend it
to non UTF-8 encodings.
During the following 8 1/2 years, nobody found need for this custom

A custom callback function is a wrong design to use here anyway---if
your contents need support for non UTF-8 encoding, you shouldn't
have to write a custom function and recompile Git to plumb it in. A
better approach would be to extend sane_truncate_line() function and

The existing behavior of diff --color-moved=zebra does not define the
minimum size of a block at all, instead relying on a heuristic applied
later to filter out sets of adjacent moved lines that are shorter than 3
lines long. This can be confusing, because a block could thus be colored
as moved at the source but not at the destination (or vice versa),
depending on its neighbors.
Instead, teach diff that the minimum size of a block is 20 alphanumeric
characters, the same heuristic used by "git blame". This allows diff to
still exclude uninteresting lines appearing on their own (such as those
solely consisting of one or a few closing braces), as was the intention
of the adjacent-moved-line heuristic.
This requires a change in some tests in that some of their lines are no
longer considered to be part of a block, because they are too short.

Back in prehistoric times, our decision on whether or not to
show color by default relied on using a config callback that
either did or didn't load color config like color.diff.
When we introduced color.ui, we put it in the same boat:
commands had to manually respect it by using git_color_config()
or its git_color_default_config() convenience wrapper.
But in 4c7f1819b (make color.ui default to 'auto',
2013-06-10), that changed. Since then, we default color.ui
to auto in all programs, meaning that even plumbing commands
like "git diff-tree --pretty" might colorize the output.
Nobody seems to have complained in the intervening years,
presumably because the "is stdout a tty" check does a good
job of catching the right cases.
But that leaves an interesting curiosity: color.ui defaults
to auto even in plumbing, but you can't actually _disable_
the color via config. So if you really hate color and set
"color.ui" to false, diff-tree will still show color (but
porcelain like git-diff won't). Nobody noticed that either,
probably because very few people disable color.
One could argue that the plumbing should _always_ disable
color unless an explicit --color option is given on the
command line. But in practice, this creates a lot of
complications for scripts which do want plumbing to show
user-visible output. They can't just pass "--color" blindly;
they need to check the user's config and decide what to
send.
Given that nobody has complained about the current behavior,
let's assume it's a good path, and follow it to its
conclusion: supporting color.ui everywhere.
Note that you can create havoc by setting color.ui=always in
your config, but that's more or less already the case. We
could disallow it entirely, but it is handy for one-offs
like:
git -c color.ui=always foo >not-a-tty
when "foo" does not take a --color option itself.

When a patch consists mostly of moving blocks of code around, it can
be quite tedious to ensure that the blocks are moved verbatim, and not
undesirably modified in the move. To that end, color blocks that are
moved within the same patch differently. For example (OM, del, add,
and NM are different colors):
[OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void)
[OM] -{
[OM] - if (!is_authorized_user())
[OM] - die("unauthorized");
[OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning,
[OM] - multiple,
[OM] - lines);
[OM] -}
void another_function()
{
[del] - printf("foo");
[add] + printf("bar");
}
[NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void)
[NM] +{
[NM] + if (!is_authorized_user())
[NM] + die("unauthorized");
[NM] + sensitive_stuff(spanning,
[NM] + multiple,
[NM] + lines);
[NM] +}
However adjacent blocks may be problematic. For example, in this
potentially malicious patch, the swapping of blocks can be spotted:
[OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void)
[OM] -{
[OMA] - if (!is_authorized_user())
[OMA] - die("unauthorized");
[OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning,
[OM] - multiple,
[OM] - lines);
[OMA] -}
void another_function()
{
[del] - printf("foo");
[add] + printf("bar");
}
[NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void)
[NM] +{
[NMA] + sensitive_stuff(spanning,
[NMA] + multiple,
[NMA] + lines);
[NM] + if (!is_authorized_user())
[NM] + die("unauthorized");
[NMA] +}
If the moved code is larger, it is easier to hide some permutation in the
code, which is why some alternative coloring is needed.
This patch implements the first mode:
* basic alternating 'Zebra' mode
This conveys all information needed to the user. Defer customization to
later patches.
First I implemented an alternative design, which would try to fingerprint
a line by its neighbors to detect if we are in a block or at the boundary.
This idea iss error prone as it inspected each line and its neighboring
lines to determine if the line was (a) moved and (b) if was deep inside
a hunk by having matching neighboring lines. This is unreliable as the
we can construct hunks which have equal neighbors that just exceed the
number of lines inspected. (Think of 'AXYZBXYZCXYZD..' with each letter
as a line, that is permutated to AXYZCXYZBXYZD..').
Instead this provides a dynamic programming greedy algorithm that finds
the largest moved hunk and then has several modes on highlighting bounds.
A note on the options '--submodule=diff' and '--color-words/--word-diff':
In the conversion to use emit_line in the prior patches both submodules
as well as word diff output carefully chose to call emit_line with sign=0.
All output with sign=0 is ignored for move detection purposes in this
patch, such that no weird looking output will be generated for these
cases. This leads to another thought: We could pass on '--color-moved' to
submodules such that they color up moved lines for themselves. If we'd do
so only line moves within a repository boundary are marked up.
It is useful to have moved lines colored, but there are annoying corner
cases, such as a single line moved, that is very common. For example
in a typical patch of C code, we have closing braces that end statement
blocks or functions.
While it is technically true that these lines are moved as they show up
elsewhere, it is harmful for the review as the reviewers attention is
drawn to such a minor side annoyance.
For now let's have a simple solution of hardcoding the number of
moved lines to be at least 3 before coloring them. Note, that the
length is applied across all blocks to find the 'lonely' blocks
that pollute new code, but do not interfere with a permutated
block where each permutation has less lines than 3.

Introduce a new option 'emitted_symbols' in the struct diff_options which
controls whether all output is buffered up until all output is available.
It is set internally in diff.c when necessary.
We'll have a new struct 'emitted_string' in diff.c which will be used to
buffer each line. The emitted_string will duplicate the memory of the
line to buffer as that is easiest to reason about for now. In a future
patch we may want to decrease the memory usage by not duplicating all
output for buffering but rather we may want to store offsets into the
file or in case of hunk descriptions such as the similarity score, we
could just store the relevant number and reproduce the text later on.
This approach was chosen as a first step because it is quite simple
compared to the alternative with less memory footprint.
emit_diff_symbol factors out the emission part and depending on the
diff_options->emitted_symbols the emission will be performed directly
when calling emit_diff_symbol or after the whole process is done, i.e.
by buffering we have add the possibility for a second pass over the
whole output before doing the actual output.
In 6440d34 (2012-03-14, diff: tweak a _copy_ of diff_options with
word-diff) we introduced a duplicate diff options struct for word
emissions as we may have different regex settings in there.
When buffering the output, we need to operate on just one buffer,
so we have to copy back the emissions of the word buffer into the
main buffer.
Unconditionally enable output via buffer in this patch as it yields
a great opportunity for testing, i.e. all the diff tests from the
test suite pass without having reordering issues (i.e. only parts
of the output got buffered, and we forgot to buffer other parts).
The test suite passes, which gives confidence that we converted all
functions to use emit_string for output.

In a later patch we want to buffer all output before emitting it as a
new feature ("markup moved lines") conceptually cannot be implemented
in a single pass over the output.
There are different approaches to buffer all output such as:
* Buffering on the char level, i.e. we'd have a char[] which would
grow at approximately 80 characters a line. This would keep the
output completely unstructured, but might be very easy to implement,
such as redirecting all output to a temporary file and working off
that. The later passes over the buffer are quite complicated though,
because we have to parse back any output and then decide if it should
be modified.
* Buffer on a line level. As the output is mostly line oriented already,
this would make sense, but it still is a bit awkward as we'd have to
make sense of it again by looking at the first characters of a line
to decide what part of a diff a line is.
* Buffer semantically. Imagine there is a formal grammar for the diff
output and we'd keep the symbols of this grammar around. This keeps
the highest level of structure in the buffered data, such that the
actual memory requirements are less than say the first option. Instead
of buffering the characters of the line, we'll buffer what we intend
to do plus additional information for the specifics. An output of
diff --git a/new.txt b/new.txt
index fa69b07..412428c 100644
Binary files a/new.txt and b/new.txt differ
could be buffered as
DIFF_SYMBOL_DIFF_START + new.txt
DIFF_SYMBOL_INDEX_MODE + fa69b07 412428c "non-executable" flag
DIFF_SYMBOL_BINARY_FILES + new.txt
This and the following patches introduce the third option of buffering
by first moving any output to emit_diff_symbol, and then introducing the
buffering in this function.

In a later patch we want to do more things before and after all filepairs
are flushed. So factor flushing out all file pairs into its own function
that the new code can be plugged in easily.
