7348159380 Merge branch 'ef/mingw-rmdir'
MinGW has a workaround when rmdir unnecessarily fails to retry with
a prompt, but the logic was kicking in when the rmdir failed with
ENOTEMPTY, i.e. was expected to fail and there is no point retrying.

a83b2b578c mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty
in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory
that is both in use and non-empty.

However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return
immediately, we end up falling out of the retry-loop, but right into
the prompting-loop.

Fix this by setting errno, and guarding the prompting-loop with an
errno-check.

84adb64154 maybe_flush_or_die: move a too-loose Windows specific error
check to compat

Commit b2f5e268 (Windows: Work around an oddity when a pipe with no reader
is written to) introduced a check for EINVAL after fflush() to fight
spurious "Invalid argument" errors on Windows when a pipe was broken. But
this check may hide real errors on systems that do not have the this odd
behavior. Introduce an fflush wrapper in compat/mingw.* so that the treatment
is only applied on Windows.

1696d72321 compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.

This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.

In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.

040a655116 cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere
The "x"-prefixed versions of strdup, malloc, etc. will check whether the
allocation was successful and terminate the process otherwise.

A few uses of malloc were left alone since they already implemented a
graceful path of failure or were in a quasi external library like xdiff.

Additionally, the call to malloc in compat/win32/syslog.c was not modified
since the syslog() implemented there is a die handler and a call to the
x-wrappers within a die handler could result in recursion should memory
allocation fail.  This will have to be addressed separately.

df599e9612 Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search
getenv() on Windows looks up environment variables in a case-insensitive
manner. Even though all documentations claim that the environment is
case-insensitive, it is possible for applications to pass an environment
to child processes that has variables that differ only in case. Bash on
Windows does this, for example, and sh-i18n--envsubst depends on this
behavior.

With this patch environment variables are first looked up in a
case-sensitive manner; only if this finds nothing, the system's getenv() is
used as a fallback.

06bc4b796a mingw.c: move definition of mingw_getenv down
We want to use static lookup_env() in a subsequent change.

At first sight, this change looks innocent. But it is not due to the
#undef getenv. There is one caller of getenv between the old location and
the new location whose behavior could change. But as can be seen from the
defintion of mingw_getenv, the behavior for this caller does not change
substantially.

To ensure consistent behavior in the future, change all getenv callers
in mingw.c to use mingw_getenv.

With this patch, this is not a big deal, yet, but with the subsequent
change, where we teach getenv to do a case-sensitive lookup, the behavior
of all call sites is changed.

directory is busy, we only want to retry deleting the directory if it

than EACCES.

c9b7840080 mingw: make failures to unlink or move raise a question
On Windows in case a program is accessing a file unlink or
move operations may fail. To give the user a chance to correct
this we simply wait until the user asks us to retry or fail.

This is useful because of the following use case which seem
to happen rarely but when it does it is a mess:

After making some changes the user realizes that he was on the
incorrect branch. When trying to change the branch some file
is still in use by some other process and git stops in the
middle of changing branches. Now the user has lots of files
with changes mixed with his own. This is especially confusing
on repositories that contain lots of files.

Although the recent implementation of automatic retry makes
this scenario much more unlikely lets provide a fallback as
a last resort.

Thanks to Albert Dvornik for disabling the question if users can't see it.

If the stdout of the command is connected to a terminal but the stderr
has been redirected, the odds are good that the user can't see any
question we print out to stderr.  This will result in a "mysterious
hang" while the app is waiting for user input.

It seems better to be conservative, and avoid asking for input
whenever the stderr is not a terminal, just like we do for stdin.

d1b6e6e015 win32: use our own dirent.h
The mingw-runtime implemenation of opendir, readdir and closedir
sets errno to 0 on success, something that POSIX explicitly
forbids. 3ba7a06 ("A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be
read due to EMFILE") introduce a dependency on this behaviour,
leading to a broken "git clone" on Windows.

compat/mingw.c contains an implementation of readdir, and
compat/msvc.c contains implementations of opendir and closedir.

Move these to compat/win32/dirent.[ch], and change to our own DIR
structure at the same time.

This provides a generic Win32-implementation of opendir, readdir
and closedir which works on both MinGW and MSVC and does not reset
errno, and as a result git clone is working again on Windows.

52de4db579 mingw: use real pid
The Windows port have so far been using process handles in place
of PID. However, this is not work consistent with what getpid
returns.

PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local
to a process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows, for
instance, a user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager,
something that would have been impossible with process handles.

Change the code to use the real PID, and use OpenProcess to get a
process-handle. Store the PID and the process handle in a linked
list protected by a critical section, so we can safely close the
process handle later.

Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail.  Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed.  Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.

On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista.  Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work.  There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

3fdcdbdf30 Windows: redirect f[re]open("/dev/null") to f[re]open("nul")
On Windows, the equivalent of "/dev/null" is "nul". This implements
compatibility wrappers around fopen() and freopen() that check for this
particular file name.

The new tests exercise code paths where this is relevant.

a6d15bc335 Do not use date.c:tm_to_time_t() from compat/mingw.c
To implement gettimeofday(), a broken-down UTC time was requested from the
system using GetSystemTime(), then tm_to_time_t() was used to convert it
to a time_t because it does not look at the current timezone, which
mktime() would do.

Use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() and a different conversion path to avoid this
back-reference from the compatibility layer to the generic code.

44626dc7d5 MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads API
This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git.
It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and
Cygwin.

[J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build
environment, then threading was already enabled because the
pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now
enable threaded code unconditionally.]

75301f9015 Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that
on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's
C runtime, then there is no choice other than to

1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup
2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2
3. spawn
4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2
5. close the backup copy and the redirection source

We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions
anymore!

Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's
fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd.

With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s
WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the
backup copies of the fds.

The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying
the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not
associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or
pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy
was closed in the parent process until the child exited.

Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we
still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to
create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup
in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)
