[PATCH v3] 0/4 fsmonitor fixes

[PATCH v3] 0/4 fsmonitor fixes

[Alex Vandiver]

Updates since v2:

 - Fix tab which crept into 1/4

 - Fixed the benchmarking code in the commit message in 2/4 to just
   always load JSON::XS -- the previous version was the version where
   I'd broken that to force loading of JSON::PP.

 - Remove the --no-pretty from the t/ version of query-watchman in
   2/4; I don't know how I messed up diff'ing the file previously, but
   if there are already differences, it makes sense to let them slide.

[PATCH v3 1/4] fsmonitor: Set the PWD to the top of the working tree

[Alex Vandiver]

The fsmonitor command inherits the PWD of its caller, which may be
anywhere in the working copy.  This makes is difficult for the
fsmonitor command to operate on the whole repository.  Specifically,
for the watchman integration, this causes each subdirectory to get its
own watch entry.

Set the CWD to the top of the working directory, for consistency.

[PATCH v3 2/4] fsmonitor: Don't bother pretty-printing JSON from watchman

[Alex Vandiver]

This provides modest performance savings.  Benchmarking with the
following program, with and without `--no-pretty`, we find savings of
23% (0.316s -> 0.242s) in the git repository, and savings of 8% (5.24s
-> 4.86s) on a large repository with 580k files in the working copy.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use IPC::Open2;
    use JSON::XS;

    my $pid = open2(\*CHLD_OUT, \*CHLD_IN, "watchman -j @ARGV")
        or die "open2() failed: $!\n" .
        "Falling back to scanning...\n";

    my $query = qq|["query", "$ENV{PWD}", {}]|;

    print CHLD_IN $query;
    close CHLD_IN;
    my $response = do {local $/; <CHLD_OUT>};

    JSON::XS->new->utf8->decode($response);

[PATCH v3 4/4] fsmonitor: Delay updating state until after split index is merged

[Alex Vandiver]

If the fsmonitor extension is used in conjunction with the split index
extension, the set of entries in the index when it is first loaded is
only a subset of the real index.  This leads to only the non-"base"
index being marked as CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.

Delay the expansion of the ewah bitmap until after tweak_split_index
has been called to merge in the base index as well.

The new fsmonitor_dirty is kept from being leaked by dint of being
cleaned up in post_read_index_from, which is guaranteed to be called
after do_read_index in read_index_from.

This makes local variable "int i;" in this function unused and gets
compiler warning.

... to which end we introduced the DEVELOPER flag to catch these: if you
call

	make DEVELOPER=1

and compile with GCC or Clang, it will elevate such warnings to errors,
and we highly encourage contributors to build their patched source code
with said flag.

Thanks,
Johannes

Apologies for leaving that detritus -- I saw you added a 'SQUASH??' commit
to deal with it, which LGTM.

Aha!  Thanks for the tip; I'll be sure to use that from now on.

Thanks Alex, nice improvements.  This looks good to go.
