[PATCH v8 0/6] Finish converting git bisect to C part 2 subset 1

[PATCH v8 0/6] Finish converting git bisect to C part 2 subset 1

[Miriam Rubio]

These patches correspond to a second part of patch series 
of Outreachy project "Finish converting `git bisect` from shell to C" 
started by Pranit Bauva and Tanushree Tumane
(https://public-inbox.org/git/pull.117.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com) and
continued by me.

This patch series version is composed by the first six patches of the
previous version due to a bug discovered during the test stage, that 
affects the rest of the patches and that needs to be fixed before 
sending them.

These patch series emails were generated from:
https://gitlab.com/mirucam/git/commits/git-bisect-work-part2-v8-subset1.

I would like to thank Johannes Schindelin for reviewing this patch series
and to Christian Couder for his advice and help.

[PATCH v8 1/6] bisect--helper: BUG() in cmd_*() on invalid subcommand

[Miriam Rubio]

In cmd_bisect__helper() function, if an invalid or no
subcommand is passed there is a BUG.

BUG() out instead of returning an error.

[PATCH v8 2/6] bisect--helper: use '-res' in 'cmd_bisect__helper' return

[Miriam Rubio]

Following 'enum bisect_error' vocabulary, return variable 'res' is
always non-positive.
Let's use '-res' instead of 'abs(res)' to make the code clearer.

[PATCH v8 3/6] bisect--helper: introduce new `write_in_file()` function

[Miriam Rubio]

Let's refactor code adding a new `write_in_file()` function
that opens a file for writing a message and closes it and a
wrapper for writing mode.

This helper will be used in later steps and makes the code
simpler and easier to understand.

[PATCH v8 4/6] bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_autostart` shell function in C

[Miriam Rubio]

From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@gmail.com>

Reimplement the `bisect_autostart()` shell function in C and add the
C implementation from `bisect_next()` which was previously left
uncovered.

Add `--bisect-autostart` subcommand to be called from git-bisect.sh.
Using `--bisect-autostart` subcommand is a temporary measure to port
the shell function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more
functions are ported, this subcommand will be retired and
bisect_autostart() will be called directly by `bisect_state()`.

Change behavior of shell script that returned success when user aborted
the bisection.

[PATCH v8 5/6] bisect: call 'clear_commit_marks_all()' in 'bisect_next_all()'

[Miriam Rubio]

As there can be other revision walks after bisect_next_all(),
let's add a call to a function to clear all the marks at the
end of bisect_next_all().

[PATCH v8 6/6] bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_next` and `bisect_auto_next` shell functions in C

[Miriam Rubio]

From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@gmail.com>

Reimplement the `bisect_next()` and the `bisect_auto_next()` shell functions
in C and add the subcommands to `git bisect--helper` to call them from
git-bisect.sh .

bisect_auto_next() function returns an enum bisect_error type as whole
`git bisect` can exit with an error code when bisect_next() does.

Return an error when `bisect_next()` fails, that fix a bug on shell script
version.

Using `--bisect-next` and `--bisect-auto-next` subcommands is a
temporary measure to port shell function to C so as to use the existing
test suite. As more functions are ported, `--bisect-auto-next`
subcommand will be retired and will be called by some other methods.

Just like above, we need an `|| exit` here.

Other than that, this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,

I think the `bisect_next` function needs the same treatment. Other than
that, this iteration is ready to go from my side.

Thank you,
Dscho

Thanks for being careful.

Personally I find this rebase unwarranted.  What ef4d9f8a (bisect:
swap command-line options in documentation, 2020-08-28) on the
'master' did does not overlap with this series in any meaningful
way.  Since it is also trivial to adjust these patches back on
e9b77c84 (Tenth batch, 2020-08-24) on which the previous round was
based, I won't complain ;-)

Sounds good.

Meaning that the two new ones can just be at the end and there
wasn't a reason for them to come before autostart?  OK.

OK.

Thanks.
