run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"

2021-11-26T06:15:07Z

Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args" was added in c460c0ecdca (run-command: store an optional argv_array, 2014-05-15) being able to provide either "argv" or "args" has led to some confusion and bugs. If we hadn't gone in that direction and only had an "argv" our problems wouldn't have been solved either, as noted in [1] (and in the documentation amended here) it comes with inherent memory management issues: The caller would have to hang on to the "argv" until the run-command API was finished. If the "argv" was an argument to main() this wasn't an issue, but if it it was manually constructed using the API might be painful. We also have a recent report[2] of a user of the API segfaulting, which is a direct result of it being complex to use. This commit addresses the root cause of that bug. This change is larger than I'd like, but there's no easy way to avoid it that wouldn't involve even more verbose intermediate steps. We use the "argv" as the source of truth over the "args", so we need to change all parts of run-command.[ch] itself, as well as the trace2 logging at the same time. The resulting Windows-specific code in start_command() is a bit nasty, as we're now assigning to a strvec's "v" member, instead of to our own "argv". There was a suggestion of some alternate approaches in reply to an earlier version of this commit[3], but let's leave larger a larger and needless refactoring of this code for now. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/YT6BnnXeAWn8BycF@coredump.intra.peff.net 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20211120194048.12125-1-ematsumiya@suse.de/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-5.5-ea1011f7473-20211122T153605Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is reasonably sized. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

hashmap: remove type arg from hashmap_{get,put,remove}_entry

2019-10-07T01:20:12Z

Since these macros already take a `keyvar' pointer of a known type, we can rely on OFFSETOF_VAR to get the correct offset without relying on non-portable `__typeof__' and `offsetof'. Argument order is also rearranged, so `keyvar' and `member' are sequential as they are used as: `keyvar->member' Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Reviewed-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
