[PATCH 0/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add %(raw) atom

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

In order to make git cat-file --batch use ref-filter logic, I add %(raw)
atom to ref-filter.

Change from last version:

 1. Change is_empty() logic.
 2. Simplify memcasecmp().
 3. rebase on zh/ref-filter-atom-type.

[PATCH 1/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add obj-type check in grab contents

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Only tag and commit objects use `grab_sub_body_contents()` to grab
object contents in the current codebase.  We want to teach the
function to also handle blobs and trees to get their raw data,
without parsing a blob (whose contents looks like a commit or a tag)
incorrectly as a commit or a tag.

Skip the block of code that is specific to handling commits and tags
early when the given object is of a wrong type to help later
addition to handle other types of objects in this function.

Neither this step or the next change needs anything but type member
of the 'obj' (and 'buf' is coming from oi.content of the result of
asking about that same 'obj').

I wonder if we should do one of the following:

 (1) stop passing "void *buf" and instead "struct expand_data
     *data", and use "data->content" to access "buf", which would
     allow you to access "data->type" to perform the added check.

 (2) instead of adding "struct obj *obj" to the parameters, just add
     "enum object_type type", as that is the only thing you need.

Obviously (2) is with lessor impact, but if it can be done safely
without breaking the code [*], (1) would probably be a much more
preferrable direction to go in the longer term.

    Side note [*].  A caller is allowed to choose to feed "buf" that
    is different from "oi.content" (perhaps buf may sometimes want
    to be a utf-8 recoded version of oi.content for certain types of
    objects) with the current system, but if we pass expand_data
    throughout the callchain, such a caller is broken, for example.

I agree with (1). In future versions of grab_sub_body_contents(), we will
use the content of "data" more frequently instead of using the
crude "obj". The type provided by "obj" can also be provided by
"data". So yes, I would be very willing to let grab_sub_body_contents()
only use "data". (delete "obj")

E.g.

static void grab_sub_body_contents(struct atom_value *val, int deref,
struct expand_data *data)

Using (2), we will need more parameters to pass other object info.

Just see the situation in front of us: grab_sub_body_contents()
have only one caller: grab_values(). If someone need a function like
grab_sub_body_contents() to grab another buf, they can use rewrite
a more universal function interface:

static void grab_sub_body_contents(struct atom_value *val, int deref,
struct expand_data *data)
{
   grab_sub_body_contents_internal(val, deref, data->content,
data->size, data->type);
}

static void grab_sub_body_contents_internal(struct atom_value *val,
int deref, void *buf,
                                           unsigned long buf_size,
enum object_type type)
{
...
}

But for the time being, the above one is sufficient.

Thanks.

[PATCH 2/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add %(raw) atom

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Add new formatting option `%(raw)`, which will print the raw
object data without any changes. It will help further to migrate
all cat-file formatting logic from cat-file to ref-filter.

The raw data of blob, tree objects may contain '\0', but most of
the logic in `ref-filter` depands on the output of the atom being
text (specifically, no embedded NULs in it).

E.g. `quote_formatting()` use `strbuf_addstr()` or `*._quote_buf()`
add the data to the buffer. The raw data of a tree object is
`100644 one\0...`, only the `100644 one` will be added to the buffer,
which is incorrect.

Therefore, add a new member in `struct atom_value`: `s_size`, which
can record raw object size, it can help us add raw object data to
the buffer or compare two buffers which contain raw object data.

Beyond, `--format=%(raw)` cannot be used with `--python`, `--shell`,
`--tcl`, `--perl` because if our binary raw data is passed to a variable
in the host language, the host language may not support arbitrary binary
data in the variables of its string type.

These two hunks

 - hoists up the code that sets 'arg' to optional string after
   "<atom>:" and counts how long the "<atom>" is in 'atom_len'; the
   change causes the counting done even when the same placeholder is
   already used elsewhere (in which case we do not have to do such
   counting);

 - inserts the early return to reject use of "raw" atom when
   language specific quoting is used.

It probably makes it easier to understand if the former is split
into a separate commit, but at the same time a series with too many
small steps is harder to manage, so let's keep them in a single
change.

But I do not think we want to add the new change at this location,
at least for two reasons:

 * The posted patch checks '!arg' to avoid rejecting "raw:size",
   which would not scale at all.  What if you wanted to later add
   "raw:upcase", which you must reject?

 * We do have enumerated constants for each atom types, but this
   early check and return does string comparison.

Where it belongs is either after "Is the atom a valid one?" loop
where 'atom_len' is used to locate the placeholder's atom in the
table of valid atoms [*], or inside raw_atom_parser().

    Side note: If you read the original code, you would notice that
    there already is a similar "this is a valid atom that appear in
    the valid_atom[] table, but unallowed in this situation" check
    done with .source != SOURCE_NONE conditional.  One downside is
    that until calling raw_atom_parser(), you do not know if
    RAW_BARE or RAW_LENGTH is requested.

If we do inside raw_atom_parser(), it would probably look like this:
 
+static int raw_atom_parser(const struct ref_format *format, struct used_atom *atom,
+				const char *arg, struct strbuf *err)
+{
+	if (!arg)
+		atom->u.raw_data.option = RAW_BARE;
+	else if (!strcmp(arg, "size"))
+		atom->u.raw_data.option = RAW_LENGTH;
+	else
+		return strbuf_addf_ret(err, -1, _("unrecognized %%(raw) argument: %s"), arg);
+
+	if (atom->u.raw_data.option == RAW_BARE && format->quote_style)
+		return strbuf_addf_ret(err, -1,
+				       _("--format=%%(raw) cannot be used with ...")...);

Yeah, the code here makes "raw" lack of scalability. Especially we
want to add "%(raw:textconv)" and "%(raw:filter)" later.

Note that at this time we must compare strings... parse_ref_filter_atom()
passes string form of the atom. Code block A also requires comparing strings.

-------------------
Code block A:

        for (i = 0; i < used_atom_cnt; i++) {
               int len = strlen(used_atom[i].name);
               if (len == ep - atom && !memcmp(used_atom[i].name, atom, len))
                       return i;
       }
-------------------

All the following replies are based on such a fact:
We will reuse used atoms as much as possible.

Think about this situation:

$ git for-each-ref --format="%(raw)" --sort="raw" --python

Since we specified --sort="raw",`parse_sorting_atom()`
will be called in parse_opt_ref_sorting(), but at this time
we haven't parsed --<lang> yet. So format->quote_style == 0,
we cannot refuse  --<lang> at this time, and a "%(raw)" atom
item will be added to used_atom, when we use `verify_ref_format()`
to call `parse_sorting_atom()` for the second time, we already have
raw atom item in used_atom, in Code Block A we directly returned,
We can't refuse --<lang> too after Code Block A. So as a last solution,
we refuse --<lang> with "%(raw)" before Code Block A.

Yes, but we need to pay attention to it is below Code Block A.

It's same, "*.parser()" is below Code Block A.

After all, the reason why this must be done here is the ref-filter
original logic
has not considered rejecting a format atom and an option.

Now I am building %(raw:textconv) and %(raw:filter), the code will be
very difficult to write:

        if (format->quote_style && !strncmp(sp, "raw", 3)
                                && ((!arg) || (!strncmp(arg,
":textconv", 9)) || (!strncmp(arg, ":filter", 7))))
                return strbuf_addf_ret(err, -1, _("--format=%.*s
cannot be used with"
                                "--python, --shell, --tcl, --perl"),
(int)(ep-atom), atom);

Is there any good way?

Thanks.

The problem you are having sounds like a natural consequence of
doing the check at the wrong place in the code, at least to me.

The point is that you can piggyback existing string comparison
(which is called "parsing") and use the parsed result (i.e. if you
can compare with ATOM_RAW instead of adding another strcmp(), that
can be a better solution).

That only says using parse_sorting_atom() and relying on the check
in the function is still too early, and does not necessarily support
the posted patch that redundantly runs strcmp().

After parsing all the command line options, we have used_atom[]
fully populated and we know what host language we are quoting the
result for---and that makes a good place to check for comflicting
requests.

That is something you can fix to make the code easier to follow, no?

Alright, I got it: we can perform related check in verify_ref_format(),
after parse_ref_filter_atom(), It is a good checkpoint.

You are right. ;-)

I prefer no first-person pronouns (I and we) in patch cover letter and

[PATCH v2 0/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add %(raw) atom

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

In order to make git cat-file --batch use ref-filter logic, %(raw) atom is
adding to ref-filter.

Change from last version:

 1. Change --<lang> and --format=%(raw) checkpoint to verify_ref_format(),
    which make it more scalable.
 2. Change grab_sub_body_contents() use struct expand_data *data instread of
    using obj,buf,buf_size to pass object info which can reduce the delivery
    of function parameters.

[PATCH v2 1/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add obj-type check in grab contents

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Only tag and commit objects use `grab_sub_body_contents()` to grab
object contents in the current codebase.  We want to teach the
function to also handle blobs and trees to get their raw data,
without parsing a blob (whose contents looks like a commit or a tag)
incorrectly as a commit or a tag.

Skip the block of code that is specific to handling commits and tags
early when the given object is of a wrong type to help later
addition to handle other types of objects in this function.

[PATCH v2 2/2] [GSOC] ref-filter: add %(raw) atom

[ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Add new formatting option `%(raw)`, which will print the raw
object data without any changes. It will help further to migrate
all cat-file formatting logic from cat-file to ref-filter.

The raw data of blob, tree objects may contain '\0', but most of
the logic in `ref-filter` depands on the output of the atom being
text (specifically, no embedded NULs in it).

E.g. `quote_formatting()` use `strbuf_addstr()` or `*._quote_buf()`
add the data to the buffer. The raw data of a tree object is
`100644 one\0...`, only the `100644 one` will be added to the buffer,
which is incorrect.

Therefore, add a new member in `struct atom_value`: `s_size`, which
can record raw object size, it can help us add raw object data to
the buffer or compare two buffers which contain raw object data.

Beyond, `--format=%(raw)` cannot be used with `--python`, `--shell`,
`--tcl`, `--perl` because if our binary raw data is passed to a variable
in the host language, the host language may not support arbitrary binary
data in the variables of its string type.

It looks like a blank line was removed as you added the above new line.

No need to resend as it's a cover letter, but just in case there is
another round and you copy things from this cover letter:

Sorry, what is the bad place in this cover letter I write? This
cover letter is also different from the last time ...

Thanks for these grammatical corrections.

I was talking about the grammatical issues below in the cover letter.
Sometimes people copy things, for example a text explaining what the
patch series is about, from the cover letter of version N to the cover
letter of version N + 1, so I thought that telling you about
grammatical issues in this cover letter could perhaps help you if you
have to write another cover letter for another version of this patch
series.

Ok, I get it.

I want to mention another question:
If I have a new patch series about %(rest) is based on the current %(raw)
patch series, should I submit it immediately?

Thanks.

Yeah, I think it's ok to send it as long as you explicitly specify
(using a link for example) the patch series on the mailing list it
depends on.

Ok. Because %(raw:textconv) %(raw:filter) dependent on %(raw) and %(rest),
%(raw) seems to have experienced a long cycle. These codes about new atoms
seem to stay in my local git repo for a long time. It may be a good thing to
send them earlier. :)

Thanks.
