run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

run_command(): handle missing command errors more gracefully When run_command() was asked to run a non-existant command, its behavior varied depending on the platform: - on POSIX systems, we would fork, and then after the execvp call failed, we could call die(), which prints a message to stderr and exits with code 128. - on Windows, we do a PATH lookup, realize the program isn't there, and then return ERR_RUN_COMMAND_FORK The goal of this patch is to make it clear to callers that the specific error was a missing command. To do this, we will return the error code ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC, which is already defined in run-command.h, checked for in several places, but never actually gets set. The new behavior is: - on POSIX systems, we exit the forked process with code 127 (the same as the shell uses to report missing commands). The parent process recognizes this code and returns an EXEC error. The stderr message is silenced, since the caller may be speculatively trying to run a command. Instead, we use trace_printf so that somebody interested in debugging can see the error that occured. - on Windows, we check errno, which is already set correctly by mingw_spawnvpe, and report an EXEC error instead of a FORK error Thus it is safe to speculatively run a command: int r = run_command_v_opt(argv, 0); if (r == -ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC) /* oops, it wasn't found; try something else */ else /* we failed for some other reason, error is in r */ Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

run_command(): handle missing command errors more gracefully When run_command() was asked to run a non-existant command, its behavior varied depending on the platform: - on POSIX systems, we would fork, and then after the execvp call failed, we could call die(), which prints a message to stderr and exits with code 128. - on Windows, we do a PATH lookup, realize the program isn't there, and then return ERR_RUN_COMMAND_FORK The goal of this patch is to make it clear to callers that the specific error was a missing command. To do this, we will return the error code ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC, which is already defined in run-command.h, checked for in several places, but never actually gets set. The new behavior is: - on POSIX systems, we exit the forked process with code 127 (the same as the shell uses to report missing commands). The parent process recognizes this code and returns an EXEC error. The stderr message is silenced, since the caller may be speculatively trying to run a command. Instead, we use trace_printf so that somebody interested in debugging can see the error that occured. - on Windows, we check errno, which is already set correctly by mingw_spawnvpe, and report an EXEC error instead of a FORK error Thus it is safe to speculatively run a command: int r = run_command_v_opt(argv, 0); if (r == -ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC) /* oops, it wasn't found; try something else */ else /* we failed for some other reason, error is in r */ Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller.
