From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Add a new advise_ng function that can check the visibility of advice
messages before printing.

Currently it's very easy for the callers to miss checking the
visibility step. Also, it makes more sense for this step to be handled
by the advice library.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to advise_ng()
to construct an example of the usage of the new API.

    [RFC][Outreachy] advice: refactor advise API
    
    The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
    [1]:
    
    When introducing a new advice message, you would
    
     * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable
    
     * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
       true
    
     * sprinkle calls like this:
    
      if (advice_frotz)
        advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));
    
    A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.
    
    A new advise_ng() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
    
    pros of the new advise():
    
     * The caller doesn't need to define a new global variable when
       introducing a new message.
     * The caller doesn't need to check the visibility of the message before
       calling advise_ng().
     * The caller still needs to come up with advice.frotz config variable
       and will call advice_ng as follows: advice_ng("advice.frotz",
       _("helpful message about frotz"));
    
    After this patch the plan is to migrate the rest of the advise calls to
    advise_ng and then finally remove advise() and rename advise_ng() to
    advise()

This makes the advice API much easier and its uses much cleaner. Thanks!

This is a good example case.

I have mixed feelings on the use of these instructions. Perhaps at
minimum the addition of these instructions could be left to a
separate patch than the creation of advise_ng().

My biggest concern is that this adds unexpected noise to users who
want the advice to stay. I'm calling attention to it, because this
part isn't a simple refactor like the rest of the patch.

If it _does_ stay, then I recommend condensing the message to
a single line. For example:

	Disable this message with "git config %d false"

Style: spacing, and opening braces are on the same line as the if:

	if (value) {

But also, this method would be simpler if the opposite case was
an early return:

	if (!value)
		return;

Then the rest could have one less indentation.

This loop looks like it was copied from advise(). Perhaps we could
re-use that code better by creating a new vadvise() method that
takes a va_list, and have advise() and advise_ng() call it instead?
I include a patch at the end of this method that does this conversion.
(Feel free to incorporate it into your next version, if you want, but
be sure to add your sign-off.) Then, your advise_ng() can call these:

	vadvise(advice, params);
	advise(turn_off_instructions, key);

removing the need to re-implement the for loop.

I definitely tend to recommend more tests than most, but perhaps this
unit test is overkill? You demonstrate a good test below using a real
Git command, which should be sufficient. If the "turn this message off"
part gets removed, then you will still have coverage of your method.
It just won't require a test change because it would not modify behavior.

Subject: [PATCH] advice: extract vadvise() from advise()

In preparation for a new advice method, extract a version of advise()
that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter. Call it from advise() for a
functionally equivalent version.

All good suggestions.  Thanks for an excellent review.

Another thing.  

advise_ng() may have been a good name for illustration but is a
horrible name for real-world use (imagine we need to revamp the API
one more time in the future---what would it be called, which has to
say that it is newer than the "next generation"?
advise_3rd_try()?).

Thanks.

What about calling this new API 'advise()'? The first patch could call
it 'advise_ng' or whatever other temporary name we feel comfortable
using, and then each subsequent patch would update callers of 'advise()'
to use 'advise_ng()'. Once those patches have been applied, and no other
callers of 'advise()' exist, a final patch can be applied on top to
rename 'advise_ng()' to 'advise()', and update the names of all of the
callers.

This makes for a rather noisy final patch, but the intermediate states
are much clearer, and it would make this series rather self-contained.

On the other hand, having a version of 'advise_ng()' on master makes
this topic more incremental, meaning that we can pick it up and put it
down at ease and have more self-contained projects.

I don't really have a preference between the two approaches, but if we
go with the latter, I do think we need something better than
'advise_ng'. Maybe 'advise_warn'? I don't know.

Thanks,
Taylor

I agree that the current procedure is a bit painful, and I think this is
a step in the right direction. But...

...this step may not be possible, for a few reasons:

  1. Some of the sites do more than just advise(). E.g., branch.c checks
     the flag and calls both error() and advise().

  2. Some callers may have to do work to generate the arguments. If I
     have:

       advise("advice.foo", "some data: %s", generate_data());

     then we'll call generate_data() even if we'll throw away the result
     in the end.

Similarly, some users of advice_* variables do not call advise() at all
(some call die(), some like builtin/rm.c stuff the result in a strbuf,
and I don't even know what's going on with wt_status.hints. :)

So I think you may need to phase it in a bit more, like:

  a. introduce want_advice() which decides whether or not to show the
     advice based on a config key. I'd also suggest making the "advice."
     part of the key implicit, just to make life easier for the callers.

  b. introduce advise_key() which uses want_advice() and advise() under
     the hood to do what your advise_ng() is doing here.

  c. convert simple patterns of:

       if (advice_foo)
          advise("bar");

     into:

       advise_key("foo", "bar");

     and drop advice_foo where possible.

  d. handle more complex cases one-by-one. For example, with something
     like:

       if (advice_foo)
         die("bar");

     we probably want:

       if (want_advice("foo"))
         die("bar");

     instead. Using string literals is more accident-prone than
     variables (because the compiler doesn't notice if we misspell them)
     but I think is OK for cases where we just refer to the key once.
     For others (e.g., advice_commit_before_merge has 13 mentions),
     either keep the variable. Or alternatively make a wrapper like:

       int want_advice_commit_before_merge(void)
       {
               return want_advice("commitbeforemerge");
       }

     if we want to drop the existing mechanism to load all of the
     variables at the beginning.

I think this is the precise strategy called out in the patch

I like that this opens up the possibility of advise_err(), advise_die(),
whatever to meet Peff's suggestion.

As I outlined in [1], I think the over-simplified
"advise_ng(<advise.key>, _(<message>), ...)"  would be too limited
to replace the current users, without a pair of helper functions,
one to just check for the guarding advise.key, and the other to
unconditionally show the message (i.e. the latter is what the
current advise() is).

I tend to disagree on both counts. I'd personally rather see something
like 'void advise_key(enum advice, char *format, ...)'.

As I understand it, Heba wanted to avoid that pattern so that people
adding a new advice didn't need to modify the advice library. However, I
think there's value to having a centralized list of all possible advices
(besides the documentation). The per-advice wrapper is harder to iterate
than an enum, and will also result in a lot of samey code if we decide
we want to use that pattern for more advices.

(In fact, with git-bugreport I'm running into a lot of regret that hooks
are invoked in the way Peff describes - 'find_hook("pre-commit")' -
rather than with an enum naming the hook; it's very hard to check all
possible hooks, and hard to examine the codebase and determine which
hooks do and don't exist.)

When Heba began to describe this project I had hoped for a final product
like 'void show_advice(enum advice_config)' which looked up the
appropriate string from the advice library instead of asking the caller
to provide it, although seeing the need for varargs has demonstrated to
me that that's not feasible :) But I think taking the advice config key
as an argument is possibly too far the other direction. At that point,
it starts to beg the question, "why isn't this function in config.h and
called print_if_configured(cfgname, message, ...)?"

Although, take this all with a grain of salt. I think I lean towards
this much encapsulation after a sordid history with C++ and an
enlightened C developer may not choose it ;)

I agree with you, I had mixed feelings about it too when suggested on
a previous patch [2].
But then I realized that it's hard for the user to find the right
config variable to turn off from the doc only.
So I like the compromise of condensing it to a single line.

My intention was to replace advise() by advise_ng(), so I didn't mind
a temp code repetition during the transition phase.
But as it seems like some folks would rather keep both, then yes of
course a vadvise() function is the way to go, thanks.

I see your point but I wanted to make sure advise_ng honors the config
variable using tests 2 & 3 in `t0018-advice.sh`
and `t7004-tag.sh` didn't seem like a good place to add these tests.

As I mentioned earlier, this patch is meant to be used as a transition
between the current advise() and the refactored one.
So the name is just temporary and it'll be renamed to advise() once
the transition is done.
But if we want to keep both functions, or want a better name because
it's an open-source project and the author might not complete the
transition, then I'll try to think of another name.

I agree with adding the first helper, specially after Peff's comments,
but I don't see why we would keep the current advise() which
unconditionally shows the message...
As far as I understand from a previous discussion [3], that's a wrong
usage that we need to avoid, quoting from [3]:
```
If there are many other places that calls to advise() are made
without getting guarded by the toggles defined in advice.c, we
should fix them, I think.
```

I think Peff is suggesting the wrapper for only those rare cases where
a single advice config variable is being checked several times around
the code base, but this doesn't mean we'll have many of them. In my
own opinion, I don't see the need for the list of advices, I think
it'll add unneeded complexity to the advice library and the
introduction of new advice messages. Mainly because I don't see a
scenario where we'd need to iterate through them, so I don't know ...

You're right. I wasn't considering the case of not showing the message

Look again at the message you referenced in your message that
started this round, and read its comment:

	if (advise_ng_enabled("frotz")) {
		char *result = expensive_computation(...);

		/*
                 * advise_ng("frotz", _("message %s about frotz", result));
                 * is fine as well, but slightly less efficient as
                 * it would involve another call to *_enabled(), so use
		 * the unconditional form of the call
		 */
		advise_ng_raw(_("message %s about frotz", result));

		free(result);
	}

Yeah, I don't mind that at all. It's mutually exclusive with not making
people add new enums when they want to add new advice types, but as you
note we do get some code maintenance benefit by having the variables,
even if _adding_ a new one is a slightly larger pain.

Thinking on it a bit more, one argument in favor of having enums or
variables or whatever is that we _do_ need a master list of all of the
variables in one spot: the documentation.

So one direction we _could_ go is either generating the enum from the
documentation or vice versa (or generating both from a master list).
That would give us one place to define a new key along with its
description.

Main changes in V2: 1- Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled. 2- Add a new
advise_enabled() helper. 3- Add a list of config variables names to replace
advice_config[] (used by list_config_advices()). 4- Send an enum parameter
to the new advise helpers instead of strings. 5- Extract vadvise() from
advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Add a new_advice_type to 'enum advice_type'
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_config_keys[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_type, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_type) first and then follow is by
   advice("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of the new
API.

extract a version of advise() that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter.
Call it from advise() and advise_if_enabled() for a functionally
equivalent version.

Nice.  There is not much point for me to correct mistakes in the
title of the cover letter, but anyway... I think these changes are
not "refactoring" the API, but these are enhancing, extending or
even revamping the API.

And I see that now you are going all the way to discard the
string-based keys to enumeration, I think this deserves to be called
"revamp advise API".

Yup.  One step at a time.

There seem to be a handful of lines with trailing whitespaces.  I
think I've fixed them all on the receiving end, but please proofread
before you come up with the next round.

Thanks.

Sorry about that, I fixed this setting in my IDE a while ago but looks
like it has a bug.
Will keep an eye on it in the future, thanks

I just realized that the return value in this function should be &&
instead of ||
(if any of the config variables is 0, then the advice should be
disabled), will fix that in the next round.

I'll probably remove this function and add a switch case to
advice_enabled() to handle this case as well as another one that I
came across while migrating the rest of the calls to the new helpers.
Will post an updated version soon.

Changes in V3:

 * Remove the new wrapper advice_push_update_rejected_enabled() (which was
   added in V2 to handle a special case of having a config variable alias),
   and replace it by adding switch cases to advice_enabled() (The reason
   behind this change is that another special case came up while I was
   migrating the rest of the advise calls to the new APIs.)
 * Remove trailing whitespaces.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V2:

 * Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled.
 * Add a new advise_enabled() helper.
 * Add a list of config variables names to replace advice_config[] (used by
   list_config_advices()).
 * Send an enum parameter to the new advise helpers instead of strings.
 * Extract vadvise() from advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Add a new_advice_type to 'enum advice_type'
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_config_keys[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_type, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_type) first and then follow is by
   advice("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of the new
API.

extract a version of advise() that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter.
Call it from advise() and advise_if_enabled() for a functionally
equivalent version.

Hmm, doesn't this leak?

On the surface it looks like xstrfmt can save you a strbuf allocation,
but if you check in strbuf.c, it actually allocates and detaches a
strbuf for you anyways. I'd argue that it's easier to tell whether
you're leaking a strbuf than the result of this call, so you might as
well do it that way.

Hm. This seems like something the project would use if strbuf knew how
to do it. Something like strbuf_prefix_lines(strbuf, prefix, delimiter)
and strbuf_suffix_lines(strbuf, suffix, delimiter)? I think there are
other types of output which need to prepend each line like this?

Hmm. I wanted to say, "Our codebase uses ALL_CAPS or snake_case in enums
so you could use lowers if you wanted" - but based on 'git grep -A4
"^enum"' it's actually pretty unusual to see enums with lower-case
members. Dang :)

Hm, if it was me, I would have put this bit in its own commit. But I see
that it's a pretty tiny change...

I think this might be misleading - your t0018 does quite a few checks
explicitly for the NESTED_TAG advice. Maybe it's better to say something
like "Make sure this agrees with t0018"? Also nit, I've been told off a
few times for using //c++ style comments.

Hm, I'd put this patch before the advise_if_enabled() one, so that each
commit makes sense by itself (rather than adding a bunch of code last
patch only to remove it in this patch).

I see - this hunk that I commented on in the other review is actually
duplicated from advise(). Hm, I still think it'd be useful to put this
functionality into strbuf, but I guess since it's not new code you're
adding there's not a lot of need to sweat about it.

That'd have been better of course, don't know why I didn't think of that :)

You're right, that was me avoiding the commits re-order conflicts but

Main changes in V4:

 * Re-order the commits.
 * Free the output after using xstrfmt().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in V3:

 * Remove the new wrapper advice_push_update_rejected_enabled() (which was
   added in V2 to handle a special case of having a config variable alias),
   and replace it by adding switch cases to advice_enabled() (The reason
   behind this change is that another special case came up while I was
   migrating the rest of the advise calls to the new APIs.)
 * Remove trailing whitespaces.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V2:

 * Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled.
 * Add a new advise_enabled() helper.
 * Add a list of config variables names to replace advice_config[] (used by
   list_config_advices()).
 * Send an enum parameter to the new advise helpers instead of strings.
 * Extract vadvise() from advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Add a new_advice_type to 'enum advice_type'
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_config_keys[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_type, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_type) first and then follow is by
   advice("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

In preparation for a new advice method, extract a version of advise()
that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter. Call it from advise() for a
functionally equivalent version.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of the new
API.

This seems very straightforward and now appears to be in the right
commit order.

Terminate the last entry of the array with a trailing comma ',', so
that the next person who adds one new advise key to the table at the
end has to just add only one line without changing any existing lines.

As you are using the designated initializers for this array, we are
free to order the lines in any way that makes most sense to us and
do not have to order the lines in numerical order.  In what order
are these lines sorted right now?  I am tempted to suggest that we
should sort alphabetically on the values, i.e. run the contents of
the table through "LC_ALL=C sort -k2,2 -t=".

It may be just me, but I feel uneasy when I see va_list in the
middle of the parameter list.  As it is a mechanism to allow us
handle "the remainder of the arguments", it logically makes more
sense to have it as the last parameter.

Style.  We always have one SP between a syntactic keyword like "if"
and open parenthesis.

Have a blank line between the decl and the first statement, i.e. here.

Do we need to spell out the values, or is it sufficient to let the
compiler automatically count up?  Does any code depend on the exact
numeric value of the advice type, or at least at the source code
level the only thing we care about them is that they are distinct?

I'd really want to get rid of these exact value assignments---they
are source of unnecessary conflicts when two or more topics want to
add new advice types of their own.

I also suggest that these are sorted alphabetically.

 - Prepare the expected output inside test_expect_success block that
   uses it.

 - There should be no SP between a redirection operator and the
   filename.

 - Here-doc that does not use parameter expansion should use a
   quoted EOF marker.

 - The file that gets compared with "actual" is by convention called
   "expect", not "expected".

i.e.

test_expect_success 'advise should be printed when config variable is unset' '
	cat >expect <<-\EOF &&
	hint: ...
	hint: ...
	EOF
	test-tool advise "This is a piece of advice" 2>actual &&

I read Junio's review and agree with that too; but here are some more
thoughts.

So we default to true if the config is unset...

> +	git_config_get_bool(key, &value);
...and per config.h, "when the configuration variable `key` is now
found, returns 1 without touching `dest`. Nice, so the default-true
works. If some problem is found when converting the value to a bool,
this function die()s, so you don't have to check the return value.

So I can ask advice_enabled(PUSH_UPDATE_REJECTED) and still be told
'false' if earlier I set "advice.pushNonfastForward" to 0.

I wondered if this was really identical behavior to how this thing
worked before.

Before, it looks like we use the older config callback method
(git_default_advice_config()): we read each config option the user has,
in order, and then we check it against each member of advice_config, and
if it's a match, we set the appropriate value. That means that
advice_push_update_rejected is determined by whichever config is set
last, e.g. a config like so:

global: advice.pushUpdateRejected = 1
local:  advice.pushNonFastForward = 0

results in advice_push_update_rejected == 0.

Now, though, you consider the values of both. In the example above, you
have the same value; but if you reverse the values:

global: advice.pushUpdateRejected = 0
local:  advice.pushNonFastForward = 1

then your new code says advice_enabled(PUSH_UPDATE_REJECTED) == 0, and
the old codepath says advice_push_update_rejected = 1.

Although, using the config lookup methods as you are, I don't think you
can make it stay the same - I don't think there's a way to compare the
relative position of two different configs, is there?

Is this such a big deal? My gut says no; my gut says if someone had
advice.pushNonFastForward set, they aren't touching their config to
unset it, which means they aren't touching their config to fiddle with
advice.pushUpdateRejected either.

Maybe someone who was around when this alias was added can provide some
context?

Currently it's sorted in the same order that was originally used for
advice_config[] and the global variables, which I assume is the order
in which every config variable was added to the code. Sorting
alphabetically will be neater of course.

Yes, we can get rid of them.

As we'll get rid of the value assignments, so sorting alphabetically
should not introduce problems when adding new advice types, will do.

Main changes in V4:

 * Re-order the commits.
 * Free the output after using xstrfmt().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in V3:

 * Remove the new wrapper advice_push_update_rejected_enabled() (which was
   added in V2 to handle a special case of having a config variable alias),
   and replace it by adding switch cases to advice_enabled() (The reason
   behind this change is that another special case came up while I was
   migrating the rest of the advise calls to the new APIs.)
 * Remove trailing whitespaces.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V2:

 * Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled.
 * Add a new advise_enabled() helper.
 * Add a list of config variables names to replace advice_config[] (used by
   list_config_advices()).
 * Send an enum parameter to the new advise helpers instead of strings.
 * Extract vadvise() from advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Add a new_advice_type to 'enum advice_type'
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_config_keys[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_type, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_type) first and then follow is by
   advice("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

In preparation for a new advice method, extract a version of advise()
that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter. Call it from advise() for a
functionally equivalent version.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

Also change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of the new
API.

This is for step [3/3], isn't it?  I'll discard this paragraph.

So, in this hypothetical but quite realistic example:

	if (advice_enabled(ADVICE_FOO)) {
		char *foo = expensive_preparation();
		advice_if_enabled(ADVICE_FOO, "use of %s is discouraged", foo);
	}

we end up formulating the "advice.*" key twice and ask git_config_get_bool()
about the same key twice?

Also, as "enum advice_type" will be part of the public API, and
there is little type checking for enums, we shouldn't be naming them
randomly like these---we'd at least want to use a common prefix,
like "ADVICE_", in front of them.  Those who are focused only on
advice subsystem may feel that names like PUSH_UPDATE_REJECTED are
sufficiently clear, but within the context of the whole system,
there is no cue that these UPCASED_WORDS identifiers belong to the
advice subsystem or somewhere else.

Oh, no, make the number of calls to xstrfmr() three times, not
twice, as I said in the previous example.

I wonder if it would make the implementation better to do these:

 - Rename advice_config_keys[] to advice_setting[] that does not
   imply it is only about the keys;

 - This table will know, for each enum advice_type, which
   configuration variable enables it, *and* if it is enabled.

i.e.

        static struct {
                const char *config_key;
                int disabled;
        } advice_setting[] = {
                [ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDED_REPO] = { "addEmbeddedRepo" },
                [ADVICE_AM_WORK_DIR]      = { "amWorkDir" },
                ...
                [ADVICE_WAITING_FOR_EDITOR] = { "waitingForEditor" },
        };


Side Note: you have AMWORKDIR that is unreadable.  If the config
           name uses camelCase by convention, the UPCASED_WORDS
           should be separated with underscore at the same word
           boundary.

Then, upon the first call to advice_enabled(), call git_config()
with a callback like

	static int populate_advice_settings(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb)
	{
		int advice_type;
		const char *name;

		if (!skip_prefix(var, "advice.", &name))
			return 0;
		advice_type = find_advice_type_by_name(advice_setting, name);
		if (advice_type < 0)
			return 0; /* unknown advice.* variable */
		/* advice.foo=false means advice.foo is disabled */
		advice_setting[advice_type].disabled = !git_config_bool(var, value);
	}

only once.  Your get_config_value() would then become a mere lookup
in advice_setting[] array, e.g.

	int advice_enabled(unsigned advice_type)
	{
		static int initialized;

		if (!initialized) {
			initialized = 1;
			git_config(populate_advice_settings, NULL);
		}
		if (ARRAY_SIZE(advice_setting) <= advice_type)
			BUG("OOB advice type requested???");
		return !advice_setting[advice_type].disabled;
	}

with your "push-update-rejected has two names" twist added.

Hmm?

The last paragraph of the proposed log message you had for [2/3]
described that this step is just an example better than the above
one, which would leave readers puzzled what our plans are for dozens
of existing advise() calls.

> +	if (type == OBJ_TAG)

This is probably a good enough example why OBJ_TAG is a good name
but NESTED_TAG is not---type could be something different from
OBJ_TAG but the other possiblities are all OBJ_<object-type>.  We
want the advice types to have the same property.

I'm a little confused about the need to cache the result of
git_config_get_bool() - isn't that a lookup from a hashmap which is
already populated at setup time, and therefore inexpensive? I would
think the only expensive part here is the xstrfmt() calls, which it
seems like would be easy to do away with by storing the fully-qualified
advice key in the array instead. What am I missing?

Looking up from hashmap with a string key is always more expensive
than indexing into a linear array with the array index.  Also, the
suggested arrangement makes the advice API implementation more self
contained, I'd think.

One beauty of the approach is that the "twist" can be done in the
initialization codepath, e.g.

 	int advice_enabled(unsigned advice_type)
 	{
 		static int initialized;
 
 		if (!initialized) {
 			initialized = 1;
 			git_config(populate_advice_settings, NULL);

                        advice_setting[ADVICE_PUSH_UPDATE_REJECTED] &=
                        advice_setting[ADVICE_PUSH_UPDATE_REJECTED_ALIAS];
 		}
 		if (ARRAY_SIZE(advice_setting) <= advice_type)
 			BUG("OOB advice type requested???");
 		return !advice_setting[advice_type].disabled;
 	}

which means that the function literally becomes an array access that
is guarded for out-of-bounds index.

Thanks, Emily, for making me look at the suggested code again to
realize this ;-)

No, in the above example, advise() should be called not advise_if_enabled().
As we discussed in the beginning of this thread.

I followed the original global variable name, which is
`advice_amworkdir`, we can change that.

I wasn't very happy about having to keep the list of config keys in
memory, but that was a good enough solution for now.
I also agree that there could be benefits for caching the values, as
you mentioned it will be less expensive than looking up from the
hashmap, but this array will grow with every new advice added to the
system. And this data is already loaded in the hashmap, so we are
duplicating it.
So are the benefits worth the duplication? I don't know.

If you force your programmers to specify the advice_type as a small
integer, and the setting is stored in the config as string keys,
somebody MUST have a table to convert from one to the other.  So I
am not sure if it is even sensible to feel unhappy about having to
have a list in the first place.  Are we looking for some kind of
miracles ;-)?

On the other hand, it does bother my sense of aesthetics a lot it
our code forces our programmers to give a small integer to us, only
so that we convert that integer to a string and use the string to
look up a value in a hashtable, every time the program wants a
lookup.  Performance-wise, that's not a huge downside.  It just rubs
my sense of code hygiene the wrong way.

Especially when the primary way for our programmers to specify which
advice they are talking about is by passing an integer, and if we
need to have a table indexed by that integer in the program anyway.

We could instead do something like:

    /* advice.h */
    #ifndef _ADVICE_H_
    #define _ADVICE_H_ 1
    extern const char ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO[];
    extern const char ADVICE_AM_WORK_DIR[];
    ...
    #endif

    /* advice.c */
    const char ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO[] = "advice.addEmbeddedRepo";
    const char ADVICE_ADD_AM_WORK_DIR[] = "advice.amWorkDir";
    ...

and the callers can still do

    advise_if_enabled(ADVICE_NESTED_TAG,
		      _(message_advice_nested_tag), tag, object_ref);

with the benefit of compiler catching a silly typo, without having
to have any "enum-to-string" table while letting the config API
layer do any caching transparently.  As these calls will never be
placed in a performance critical codepath, that might be more
appropriate.  

I dunno.

The reason I had to add the list of keys wasn't the enums, but because
it's needed by list_config_advices() which returns all the advice
config variables names. This is used when the user runs `git help
--config`.
And as a result, I added the enum to utilize it in accessing the list
and avoid hard coded strings in functions calls.

I'm not against this approach as well, but as I mentioned above, we
need a list of keys to be returned by list_config_advices(), that's
why defining the constant strings will not be sufficient in our case.

Sorry, but I do not get it.  

Either you use enum or a bunch of variables of type const char [],
"list all of them" would need an array whose elements are all of
them, so

        const char ADVICE_FOO[] = "advice.foo";
        const char ADVICE_BAR[] = "advice.bar";
        ...

        static const char *all_advice_type[] = {
                ADVICE_FOO, ADVICE_BAR, ...
        };

	void for_each_advice_type(int (*fn)(const char *name))
	{
		int i;
		for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(all_advice_type); i++)
			fn(all_advice_type[i]);
	}

would be sufficient, and I do not think it takes any more effort to
create and manage than using an array indexed with the enum, no?

hmm, you're right, I just personally prefer having related variables
collected in one data structure (whenever possible) like a list (or
enum in this case) rather than defining each independently as a const
variable. On the other hand, I understand that you'd prefer to skip
the extra step of converting the enum to string.
hmmm ok, I'll change the enum and send a new version soon.

Thanks,
Heba

To avoid misunderstanding, I do not object to enum based approach at
all.  In fact, I'd rather prefer it over bunch of const strings that
can be checked by the compiler.  What I do not prefer compared to
either of these approaches is to accept enum from the caller and
convert it to string to consult config API every time, which is
worse than "bunch of const strings".

Thanks.

With the enum:

(.h)
enum advice_type {
	ADVICE_FOO,
	ADVICE_BAR
};

(.c)
static const char *advice_config_keys[] = {
	[ADVICE_FOO] = "advice.foo",
	[ADVICE_BAR] = "advice.bar"
};
/* No need for all_advice_type because we can loop over advice_config_keys */

With the bunch of variables of type const char []:

(.h)
extern const char ADVICE_FOO[];
extern const char ADVICE_BAR[];

(.c)
const char ADVICE_FOO[] = "advice.foo";
const char ADVICE_BAR[] = "advice.bar";
static const char *all_advice_type[] = {
	ADVICE_FOO,
	ADVICE_BAR
};

Junio, is this what you meant? It seems to me that there is an extra array to
be managed in the latter case. Admittedly, this is a tradeoff against needing
to convert the enum to a string when checking config, as you describe [1].

In V6:

 * Replace the enum approach by const char arrays.
 * Fix camelCase name for one of the config variables.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V4:

 * Re-order the commits.
 * Free the output after using xstrfmt().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in V3:

 * Remove the new wrapper advice_push_update_rejected_enabled() (which was
   added in V2 to handle a special case of having a config variable alias),
   and replace it by adding switch cases to advice_enabled() (The reason
   behind this change is that another special case came up while I was
   migrating the rest of the advise calls to the new APIs.)
 * Remove trailing whitespaces.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V2:

 * Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled.
 * Add a new advise_enabled() helper.
 * Add a list of config variables names to replace advice_config[] (used by
   list_config_advices()).
 * Send an enum parameter to the new advise helpers instead of strings.
 * Extract vadvise() from advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Define a new const char array for the new advice's key.
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_config_keys[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_key, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_key) first and then follow it by
   advise("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

In preparation for a new advice method, extract a version of advise()
that uses an explict 'va_list' parameter. Call it from advise() for a
functionally equivalent version.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of config variables 'advice_config_keys' is added to be used by
list_config_advices() instead of 'advice_config[]' because we'll get
rid of 'advice_config[]' and the global variables once we migrate all
the callers to use the new APIs.

The mistake is sort-of understandable, when "setup" is taken as

Hmph.

Even though I said that I would prefer it over the current one,
in that it allows the compilers to catch typo, and over the one
in v5 which uses enum, in that we do not have to go through
enum->string->hash conversion all the time, I have to say that I
am not very happy that we'd need to make a consistent change to
three separate places.

What's the ideal long-term outcome?  The reason why I suggested
during the v5 review an array of structure, a field in which can
be the .disabled field, was because it would allow us to later
extend the struct to help users.  Wouldn't it be nice if we can
do something like:

    $ git advice --list "^fetch"
    fetchShowForcedUpdates	enabled
    $ git advice --list --verbose fetchShowForcedUpdates
    fetchShowForcedUpdates	enabled
	"git fetch" by default spends cycles to compute which
	branches were forcibly updated, but it can be turned off.
	To avoid mistaken sense of safety, however, a reminder
	message is issued instead when it is turned off.  The
	reminder can be turned off with this advice key.

Such a future enhancement will become possible by assiciating a
help text for each advice key, and the data structure introduced
in <xmqqsgiymupf.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com> was meant to be
the beginning of it.

I dunno.

Unfortunately we'll have to make changes to three separate places
until we implement a way to generate the documentation from the main
list or vice versa, which we agreed in v2 not to do that now.

V7:

 * Back to the enum approach.
 * Cache enabled values in advice_setting array.
 * Although an approach was suggested to get rid of the switch case in
   advice_enabled(), it is kept because it'll be needed when handling other
   special cases e.g: ADVICE_ GRAFT_FILE_DEPRECATED.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In V6:

 * Replace the enum approach by const char arrays.
 * Fix camelCase name for one of the config variables.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V4:

 * Re-order the commits.
 * Free the output after using xstrfmt().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in V3:

 * Remove the new wrapper advice_push_update_rejected_enabled() (which was
   added in V2 to handle a special case of having a config variable alias),
   and replace it by adding switch cases to advice_enabled() (The reason
   behind this change is that another special case came up while I was
   migrating the rest of the advise calls to the new APIs.)
 * Remove trailing whitespaces.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main changes in V2:

 * Rename advise_ng to advise_if_enabled.
 * Add a new advise_enabled() helper.
 * Add a list of config variables names to replace advice_config[] (used by
   list_config_advices()).
 * Send an enum parameter to the new advise helpers instead of strings.
 * Extract vadvise() from advise() and advise_if enabled().


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The advice API is currently a little bit confusing to call. quoting from
[1]:

When introducing a new advice message, you would

 * come up with advice.frotz configuration variable

 * define and declare advice_frotz global variable that defaults to
   true

 * sprinkle calls like this:

  if (advice_frotz)
    advise(_("helpful message about frotz"));

A new approach was suggested in [1] which this patch is based upon.

A new advise_if_enabled() is introduced to gradually replace advise()
advice_enabled() helper is also introduced to be used by those callers who:

 * Only need to check the visibility without calling advise() (they call
   die() or error() instead for example)
 * Need to carry out some heavy processing to display an advice, in this
   case they'll do: if(advice_enabled(advice_type))  advise("some advice message");
   
   

To introduce a new advice message, the caller needs to:

 * Define a new advice_type enum.
 * Come up with a new config variable name and add this name to 
   advice_setting[]
 * Call advise_if_enabled(new_advice_type, "advice message to be printed")
 * Or call advice_enabled(new_advice_type) first and then follow it by
   advise("advice message to be printed") as explained earlier.
 * Add the new config variable to Documentation/config/advice.txt

The reason a new list of configuration variables was added to the library is
to be used by the list_config_advices() function instead of advice_config[].
And we should get rid of advice_config[] once we migrate all the callers to
use the new APIs instead of checking the global variables (which we'll get
rid of as well).

In the future, we can investigate generating the documentation from the list
of config variables or vice versa to make introducing a new advice much
easier, but this approach will do it for now.

V2 makes the process of introducing a new advice longer than V1 and almost
as long as the original library, but having the advice library responsible
for checking the message visibility is still an improvement and in my own
opinion the new structure makes better sense and makes the library less
confusing to use.

After this patch the plan is to change the advise() calls to
advise_if_enabled() whenever possible, or at least replace the global
variables checks by advise_enabled() when advise_if_enabled() is not
suitable.

From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.

Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.

Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.

A list of advice_settings is added to cache the config variables names
and values, it's intended to replace advice_config[] and the global
variables once we migrate all the callers to use the new APIs.

change the advise call in tag library from advise() to
advise_if_enabled() to construct an example of the usage of
the new API.

It would be nicer to future developers to flip the polarity, as we
do not have to write 1 all over the place, especially if we plan to
extend the structure over time and to use designated initializers
for only certain fields:

	static struct {
		const char *key;
		int disabled;
	} advice_setting[] = {
		[ADDVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO] = { .key = "addEmbeddedRepo" },

Turning this into "break;" would make it similar to the loop before
this one, and will allow other people to add more code after this
loop later.

Style (will fix up locally).

Thanks.  I think this is reasonable with or without the suggested
fixes.

Just to avoid needless churn, I think this does not matter in the
longer term, so .enabled is OK as-is.  The reason I say so is
because, even though renaming to .disabled to allow initializers to
default it to 0 is nicer for those who write the initializers
manually, and it especially is true when we have more fields in the
struct (we may add descriptive text so that we can issue an on-line
help, for example), but I expect that would happen much later than
we start generating these parts of the source code in two places
(the initializer for advice_setting[] and the advice_type enum) from
a single source by mechanical process.  And the auto-generation will
eliminate the burden of writing 1 manually.

The loop with break is redundant and will be removed in the next
patch, but the rest of the loops in this function end with return
which I think makes more sense assuming any new code/loop that will
need to be added in the future is expected to handle a different
configuration group.
