[PATCH v8 00/19] port branch.c to use ref-filter's printing options

[PATCH v8 00/19] port branch.c to use ref-filter's printing options

[Karthik Nayak]

This is part of unification of the commands 'git tag -l, git branch -l
and git for-each-ref'. This ports over branch.c to use ref-filter's
printing options.

Initially posted here: $(gmane/279226). It was decided that this series
would follow up after refactoring ref-filter parsing mechanism, which
is now merged into master (9606218b32344c5c756f7c29349d3845ef60b80c).

v1 can be found here: $(gmane/288342)
v2 can be found here: $(gmane/288863)
v3 can be found here: $(gmane/290299)
v4 can be found here: $(gmane/291106)
v5b can be found here: $(gmane/292467)
v6 can be found here: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=146330914118766&w=2
v7 can be found here: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=147863593317362&w=2

Changes in this version:

1. use an enum for holding the comparision type in
%(if:[equals/notequals=...]) options.
2. rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip' and introduce an 'rstrip'
option. Also modify them to take negative values. This drops the
':dri' and ':base' options.
3. Drop unecessary code.
4. Cleanup code and fix spacing.
5. Add more comments wherever required.
6. Add quote_literal_for_format(const char *s) for safer string
insertions in branch.c:build_format().

Thanks to Jacob, Jackub, Junio and Matthieu for their inputs on the
previous version.

[PATCH v8 01/19] ref-filter: implement %(if), %(then), and %(else) atoms

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Implement %(if), %(then) and %(else) atoms. Used as
%(if)...%(then)...%(end) or %(if)...%(then)...%(else)...%(end). If the
format string between %(if) and %(then) expands to an empty string, or
to only whitespaces, then the whole %(if)...%(end) expands to the string
following %(then). Otherwise, it expands to the string following
%(else), if any. Nesting of this construct is possible.

This is in preparation for porting over `git branch -l` to use
ref-filter APIs for printing.

Add Documentation and tests regarding the same.

[PATCH v8 02/19] ref-filter: include reference to 'used_atom' within 'atom_value'

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Ensure that each 'atom_value' has a reference to its corresponding
'used_atom'. This let's us use values within 'used_atom' in the
'handler' function.

Hence we can get the %(align) atom's parameters directly from the
'used_atom' therefore removing the necessity of passing %(align) atom's
parameters to 'atom_value'.

This also acts as a preparatory patch for the upcoming patch where we
introduce %(if:equals=) and %(if:notequals=).

[PATCH v8 03/19] ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>)

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Implement %(if:equals=<string>) wherein the if condition is only
satisfied if the value obtained between the %(if:...) and %(then) atom
is the same as the given '<string>'.

Similarly, implement (if:notequals=<string>) wherein the if condition
is only satisfied if the value obtained between the %(if:...) and
%(then) atom is different from the given '<string>'.

This is done by introducing 'if_atom_parser()' which parses the given
%(if) atom and then stores the data in used_atom which is later passed
on to the used_atom of the %(then) atom, so that it can do the required
comparisons.

Add tests and Documentation for the same.

[PATCH v8 04/19] ref-filter: modify "%(objectname:short)" to take length

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Add support for %(objectname:short=<length>) which would print the
abbreviated unique objectname of given length. When no length is
specified, the length is 'DEFAULT_ABBREV'. The minimum length is
'MINIMUM_ABBREV'. The length may be exceeded to ensure that the
provided object name is unique.

Add tests and documentation for the same.

[PATCH v8 05/19] ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.c

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Move the implementation of get_head_description() from branch.c to
ref-filter.  This gives a description of the HEAD ref if called. This
is used as the refname for the HEAD ref whenever the
FILTER_REFS_DETACHED_HEAD option is used. Make it public because we
need it to calculate the length of the HEAD refs description in
branch.c:calc_maxwidth() when we port branch.c to use ref-filter
APIs.

[PATCH v8 06/19] ref-filter: introduce format_ref_array_item()

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

To allow column display, we will need to first render the output in a
string list to allow print_columns() to compute the proper size of
each column before starting the actual output. Introduce the function
format_ref_array_item() that does the formatting of a ref_array_item
to an strbuf.

show_ref_array_item() is kept as a convenience wrapper around it which
obtains the strbuf and prints it the standard output.

[PATCH v8 07/19] ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Borrowing from branch.c's implementation print "[gone]" whenever an
unknown upstream ref is encountered instead of just ignoring it.

This makes sure that when branch.c is ported over to using ref-filter
APIs for printing, this feature is not lost.

Make changes to t/t6300-for-each-ref.sh and
Documentation/git-for-each-ref.txt to reflect this change.

[PATCH v8 08/19] ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket)

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket) which will print the
tracking information without the brackets (i.e. "ahead N, behind M").
This is needed when we port branch.c to use ref-filter's printing APIs.

Add test and documentation for the same.

[PATCH v8 09/19] ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

The "%(symref)" atom doesn't work when used with the ':short' modifier
because we strictly match only 'symref' for setting the 'need_symref'
indicator. Fix this by comparing with the valid_atom rather than the
used_atom.

Add tests for %(symref) and %(symref:short) while we're here.

[PATCH v8 10/19] ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal()

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Since there are multiple atoms which print refs ('%(refname)',
'%(symref)', '%(push)', '%(upstream)'), it makes sense to have a common
ground for parsing them. This would allow us to share implementations of
the atom modifiers between these atoms.

Introduce refname_atom_parser_internal() to act as a common parsing
function for ref printing atoms. This would eventually be used to
introduce refname_atom_parser() and symref_atom_parser() and also be
internally used in remote_ref_atom_parser().

[PATCH v8 11/19] ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser()

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Using refname_atom_parser_internal(), introduce refname_atom_parser()
which will parse the %(symref) and %(refname) atoms. Store the parsed
information into the 'used_atom' structure based on the modifiers used
along with the atoms.

Now the '%(symref)' atom supports the ':strip' atom modifier. Update the
Documentation and tests to reflect this.

[PATCH v8 12/19] ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal()

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Use the recently introduced refname_atom_parser_internal() within
remote_ref_atom_parser(), this provides a common base for all the ref
printing atoms, allowing %(upstream) and %(push) to also use the
':strip' option.

The atoms '%(push)' and '%(upstream)' will retain the ':track' and
':trackshort' atom modifiers to themselves as they have no meaning in
context to the '%(refname)' and '%(symref)' atoms.

Update the documentation and tests to reflect the same.

[PATCH v8 13/19] ref-filter: rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip'

[Karthik Nayak]

In preparation for the upcoming patch, where we introduce the 'rstrip'
option. Rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip' to remove ambiguity.

[PATCH v8 14/19] ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>'

[Karthik Nayak]

Currently the 'lstrip=<N>' option only takes a positive value '<N>'
and strips '<N>' slash-separated path components from the left. Modify
the 'lstrip' option to also take a negative number '<N>' which would
only _leave_ behind 'N' slash-separated path components from the left.

Add documentation and tests for the same.

[PATCH v8 15/19] ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames

[Karthik Nayak]

Complimenting the existing 'lstrip=<N>' option, add an 'rstrip=<N>'
option which strips `<N>` slash-separated path components from the end
of the refname (e.g., `%(refname:rstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into
`refs`).

[PATCH v8 16/19] ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Introduce setup_ref_filter_porcelain_msg() so that the messages used in
the atom %(upstream:track) can be translated if needed. By default, keep
the messages untranslated, which is the right behavior for plumbing
commands. This is needed as we port branch.c to use ref-filter's
printing API's.

[PATCH v8 17/19] branch, tag: use porcelain output

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Call ref-filter's setup_ref_filter_porcelain_msg() to enable
translated messages for the %(upstream:tack) atom. Although branch.c
doesn't currently use ref-filter's printing API's, this will ensure
that when it does in the future patches, we do not need to worry about
translation.

[PATCH v8 18/19] branch: use ref-filter printing APIs

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Port branch.c to use ref-filter APIs for printing. This clears out
most of the code used in branch.c for printing and replaces them with
calls made to the ref-filter library.

Introduce build_format() which gets the format required for printing
of refs. Make amendments to print_ref_list() to reflect these changes.

The strings included in build_format() may not be safely quoted for
inclusion (i.e. it might contain '%' which needs to be escaped with an
additional '%'). Introduce quote_literal_for_format() as a helper
function which takes a string and returns a version of the string that
is safely quoted to be used in the for-each-ref format which is built
in build_format().

Change calc_maxwidth() to also account for the length of HEAD ref, by
calling ref-filter:get_head_discription().

Also change the test in t6040 to reflect the changes.

Before this patch, all cross-prefix symrefs weren't shortened. Since
we're using ref-filter APIs, we shorten all symrefs by default. We also
allow the user to change the format if needed with the introduction of
the '--format' option in the next patch.

[PATCH v8 19/19] branch: implement '--format' option

[Karthik Nayak]

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

Implement the '--format' option provided by 'ref-filter'. This lets the
user list branches as per desired format similar to the implementation
in 'git for-each-ref'.

Add tests and documentation for the same.

Grammar here, drop the If before `lstrip since you're referring to
multiples and you say "x can be appended to y" rather than "if x is
added, do y"

Would it make more sense to not die and instead just return the empty
string? On the one hand, if we die() it's obvious that you tried to
strip too many components. But on the other hand, it's also somewhat
annoying to have the whole command fail because we happen upon a
single ref that has fewer components?

So, for positive numbers, we simply strip what we can, which may
result in the empty string, and for negative numbers, we keep up to
what we said, while potentially keeping the entire string. I feel
that's a better alternative than a die() in the middle of a ref
filter..

What are other people's thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Jake

There probably are three ways to handle a formatting request that
cannot be satisfied for some refs but not others [*1*].  I agree
with you that dying the whole thing is probably the least useful
one.

We already format "%(taggername)" into an empty string when the ref
points at an object that is not an annotated tag, and substituting
an unsatisifiable request "%(refname:lstrip=N)" with an empty string
for a ref whose name does not have enough number of components is in
line with that existing practice.

The other possibility is to omit refs that cannot be formatted
according to the format specifier.  We do not currently have
provision for doing so, but it may not be bad if we can say:

    $ git for-each-ref \
	--require="%(taggername)" \
	--require="%(refname:lstrip=4)" \
	--format="%(refname:short)" \
	refs/tags/

to list _only_ annotated tags that has at least 4 components from
refs/tags/ hierarchy.

The "--require" thing obviously is an orthogonal feature, that
nobody has asked for, and does not have to exist.  For the purpose
of this review thread, I think it is OK to just conclude:

    "--format" should replace "%(any unsatisifiable atom)" with an
    empty string.

Thanks.

[Footnote]

*1* A malformed formatting request (e.g. %(if) that is not closed)
    cannot be satisified but that is true for all refs and is
    outside of the scope of this discussion.  The command should die
    and I think it already does.

Agreed. I was only making the case that if it could "possibly" be
satisfied, then we shouldn't die.

You should use strbuf_detach() to return the buffer from a strbuf.
Otherwise it is undefined whether the pointer is allocated or not (and
whether it needs to be freed).

In this case, if "s" is empty, buf.buf would point to a string literal,
but otherwise to allocated memory. strbuf_detach() normalizes that.

But...

> +			    branch_get_color(BRANCH_COLOR_REMOTE), maxwidth, quote_literal_for_format(remote_prefix),

This caller never stores the return value, and it ends up leaking. So I
wonder if you wanted "static struct strbuf" in the first place (and that
would explain the strbuf_reset() in your function).

I am _for_ this. Even I think it'd be better to return an empty string rather
than just die in the middle.

Ah! Yes this should be 'static struct strbuf' indeed, I blindly copied Junio's
suggestion.

strbuf_detach() is also a better way to go.

Thanks.

One of the other, though. If it's static, then you _don't_ want to
detach.

Wait. Why not? since it gets added to the strbuf's within
build_format() and that
value is not needed again, why do we need to re-allocate? we can use the same
variable again (i.e by keeping it as static).

I'm sorry, but I didn't get why these two should be mutually exclusive?

What is the memory ownership convention for the return value from the
function?

If the caller should own the memory, then you want to do this:

  char *foo(...)
  {
	struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
	... fill up buf ...
	return strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);
  }

The "detach" disconnects the memory from the strbuf (which is going out
of scope anyway), and the only pointer left to it is in the caller. It's
important to use "detach" here and not just return the pointer, because
that ensures that the returned value is always allocated memory (and
never strbuf_slopbuf).

If the caller should not own the memory, then the function retains
ownership. And you want something like this:

  char *foo(...)
  {
	static struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
	strbuf_reset(&buf);
	... fill up buf ...
	return buf.buf;
  }

The same buffer is reused over and over. The "reset" call clears any
leftover bits from the last invocation, and you must _not_ call
strbuf_detach() in the return, as it disconnects the memory from the
strbuf (and so next time you'd end up allocating again, and each return
value becomes a memory leak).

Does that make sense?

Ah! perfect, makes perfect sense. Sorry you had to spell that out for me.
'strbuf_detach() in the return, as it disconnects the memory from the strbuf'
that was what I was missing, thanks.
