Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Phase out non-reentrant time functions
Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2019 19:25:02 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1574943677.git.congdanhqx@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1574867409.git.congdanhqx@gmail.com>
gmtime/localtime is considered unsafe in multithread environment.
git was started as single-thread application, but we have some
multi-thread code, right now.
replace all usage of gmtime/localtime by their respective reentrant ones.
On most POSIX systems, we won't notice any differences in performance,
since they implemented gmtime and gmtime_r mostly the same.
On Windows, we may be taxed, since gmtime_r and localtime_r is our compat
functions, because we memcpy from returned data of gmtime/localtime.
To address that, I made patch #3 and included it together with this series.
I'm not sure how much portable it is.
Doan Tran Cong Danh (3):
date.c: switch to reentrant {gm,local}time_r
archive-zip.c: switch to reentrant localtime_r
mingw: use {gm,local}time_s as backend for {gm,local}time_r

- date.c::time_to_tm_local: use reentrant localtime_r(3)
+ date.c: switch to reentrant {gm,local}time_r
- Phase out `localtime(3)' in favour of reentrant `localtime_r(3)'
+ Originally, git was intended to be single-thread executable.
+ `gmtime(3)' and `localtime(3)' can be used in such codebase
+ for cleaner code.
+
+ Overtime, we're employing multithread in our code base.
+
+ Let's phase out `gmtime(3)' and `localtime(3)' in favour of
+ `gmtime_r(3)' and `localtime_r(3)'.
