51bd6be32d mingw: use COPY_ARRAY for copying array
Use the macro COPY_ARRAY to copy array elements.  The result is shorter
and safer, as it infers the element type automatically and does a (very)
basic type compatibility check for its first two arguments.

Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci did not generate this
conversion due to the offset of 1 at both source and destination and
because the source is a const pointer; the semantic patch cautiously
handles only pure pointers and array references of the same type.

03670c8b23 Fix spelling errors in no-longer-updated-from-upstream modules
We have several modules originally taken from some upstream source,
and which as far as I can tell we no longer update from the upstream
anymore.  As such, I have not submitted these spelling fixes to any
external projects but just include them directly here.

9cad1c4488 pthread.h: manually align parameter lists
In previous patches, extern was mechanically removed from function
declarations without care to formatting, causing parameter lists to be
misaligned. Manually format changed sections such that the parameter
lists are realigned.

Viewing this patch with 'git diff -w' should produce no output.

772cad0afb Merge branch 'js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort'
The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).

not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent

61d1d92aa4 msvc: work around a bug in GetEnvironmentVariable()
The return value of that function is 0 both for variables that are
unset, as well as for variables whose values are empty. To discern those
two cases, one has to call `GetLastError()`, whose return value is
`ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND` and `ERROR_SUCCESS`, respectively.

Except that it is not actually set to `ERROR_SUCCESS` in the latter
case, apparently, but the last error value seems to be simply unchanged.

To work around this, let's just re-set the last error value just before
inspecting the environment variable.

This fixes a problem that triggers failures in t3301-notes.sh (where we
try to override config settings by passing empty values for certain
environment variables).

This problem is hidden in the MINGW build by the fact that older
MSVC runtimes (such as the one used by MINGW builds) have a `calloc()`
that re-sets the last error value in case of success, while newer
runtimes set the error value only if `NULL` is returned by that
function.

e4347c9434 msvc: handle DEVELOPER=1
We frequently build Git using the `DEVELOPER=1` make setting as a
shortcut to enable all kinds of more stringent compiler warnings.

Those compiler warnings are relatively specific to GCC, though, so let's
try our best to translate them to the equivalent options to pass to MS
Visual C++'s `cl.exe`.

ed712ef8d5 msvc: ignore some libraries when linking
To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part
of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final
executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows:

	-lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32
	-lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat

Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others
are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl,
but need to be linked in for reasons).

We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already
handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link
against.

Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have
to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by
extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat
the `-l*` options.

97fff61012 Move git_sort(), a stable sort, into into libgit.a
The `qsort()` function is not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. it does not
promise to maintain the order of items it is told to consider equal. In
contrast, the `git_sort()` function we carry in `compat/qsort.c` _is_
stable, by virtue of implementing a merge sort algorithm.

In preparation for using a stable sort in Git's rename detection, move
the stable sort into `libgit.a` so that it is compiled in
unconditionally, and rename it to `git_stable_qsort()`.

Note: this also makes the hack obsolete that was introduced in
fe21c6b285 (mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16
<-> UTF-8), 2018-10-30), where we included `compat/qsort.c` directly in
`compat/mingw.c` to use the stable sort.

7027f508c7 compat/*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
In 554544276a (*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using
spatch, 2019-04-29), we removed externs from function declarations using
spatch but we intentionally excluded files under compat/ since some are
directly copied from an upstream and we should avoid churning them so
that manually merging future updates will be simpler.

In the last commit, we determined the files which taken from an upstream
so we can exclude them and run spatch on the remainder.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files compat/\*\*.{c,h} |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
	$ git checkout -- \
		compat/regex/ \
		compat/inet_ntop.c \
		compat/inet_pton.c \
		compat/nedmalloc/ \
		compat/obstack.{c,h} \
		compat/poll/

Coccinelle has some trouble dealing with `__attribute__` and varargs so
we ran the following to ensure that no remaining changes were left
behind:

	$ git ls-files compat/\*\*.{c,h} |
		xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/'
	$ git checkout -- \
		compat/regex/ \
		compat/inet_ntop.c \
		compat/inet_pton.c \
		compat/nedmalloc/ \
		compat/obstack.{c,h} \
		compat/poll/

552fc5016f mingw: apply array.cocci rule
After running Coccinelle on all sources inside compat/ that were created
by us[1], it was found that compat/mingw.c violated an array.cocci rule
in two places and, thus, a patch was generated. Apply this patch so that
all compat/ sources created by us follows all cocci rules.

[1]: Do not run Coccinelle on files that are taken from some upstream
because in case we need to pull updates from them, we would like to have
diverged as little as possible in order to make merging updates simpler.

The following sources were determined to have been taken from some
upstream:

* compat/regex/
* compat/inet_ntop.c
* compat/inet_pton.c
* compat/nedmalloc/
* compat/obstack.{c,h}
* compat/poll/

4e1a641ee3 mingw: fix launching of externals from Unicode paths
If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,
commands such as `git am` and `git submodule`, which are implemented as
externals, would fail to launch with the following error:

> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not
> able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken?

This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 85faec9d3a (Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent),
2012-03-15).

Note that the only problem in this function was calling
`GetFileAttributes()` instead of `GetFileAttributesW()`. The calls to
`access()` were fine because `access()` is a macro which resolves to
`mingw_access()`, which already handles Unicode correctly. But
`lookup_prog()` was changed to use `_waccess()` directly so that we only
convert the path to UTF-16 once.

To make things work correctly, we have to maintain UTF-8 and UTF-16
versions in tandem in `lookup_prog()`.

976aaedca0 msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution
The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.

If we pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, Git can be built entirely
within Visual Studio, and the test scripts can be run in a regular Git
for Windows (e.g. the Portable Git flavor, which does not include a full
GCC toolchain and therefore weighs only about a tenth of Git for
Windows' SDK).

So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.

To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash after building the solution in Visual Studio.

Note: for this build target, we do not actually need to initialize the
`vcpkg` system, so we don't.

eb7c786314 mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names
On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), the CreateProcessW()
function does not really support spaces in its first argument,
lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName,
which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted)
first argument of lpCommandLine.

Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.

We will abuse the test-fake-ssh.exe helper to verify that this works and
does not regress.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/692

HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places,
including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd,
and (although slightly broken) in the git-wrapper.

Even unrelated projects such as GitExtensions and TortoiseGit need to
implement the same logic to be able to call git directly.

Initialize HOME in git's own startup code so that we can eventually retire
all the duplicate initialization code.

94238859b9 mingw: use Unicode functions explicitly
Many Win32 API functions actually exist in two variants: one with
the `A` suffix that takes ANSI parameters (`char *` or `const char *`)
and one with the `W` suffix that takes Unicode parameters (`wchar_t *`
or `const wchar_t *`).

The ANSI variant assumes that the strings are encoded according to
whatever is the current locale. This is not what Git wants to use on
Windows: we assume that `char *` variables point to strings encoded in
UTF-8.

There is a pseudo UTF-8 locale on Windows, but it does not work
as one might expect. In addition, if we overrode the user's locale, that
would modify the behavior of programs spawned by Git (such as editors,
difftools, etc), therefore we cannot use that pseudo locale.

Further, it is actually highly encouraged to use the Unicode versions
instead of the ANSI versions, so let's do precisely that.

Note: when calling the Win32 API functions _without_ any suffix, it
depends whether the `UNICODE` constant is defined before the relevant
headers are #include'd. Without that constant, the ANSI variants are
used. Let's be explicit and avoid that ambiguity.

fe90397604 mingw: embed a manifest to trick UAC into Doing The Right Thing
On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.

The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection" of the
"User Account Control" (also known as "UAC") feature, where Windows
sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and even
sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.

The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.

In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).

A third unwanted behavior of Windows >= Vista is that it lies about the
Windows version when calling `GetWindowsVersionEx()`.

There are two ways to prevent these unwanted behaviors: Either you embed
an application manifest (which really is an XML document conforming to a
specific schema) within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by `.manifest`) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.

Recent enough MSVC compilers already embed a working internal manifest,
and building with mingw-w64 (which is the case in Git for Windows' SDK)
does it, too, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.

In any case, it is better to be explicit about this manifest, that way
changes in the compiler toolchain won't surprise us (as mingw-w64 once
did when it broke `GetWindowsVersionEx()` by mistake).

f6a6393771 msvc: avoid debug assertion windows in Debug Mode
For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.

However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).

So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).

dce7d29551 msvc: support building Git using MS Visual C++
With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via:

	make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1]

Third party libraries are built from source using the open source
"vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are
automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries
are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate
debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README.

A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location
of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler
tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a
"Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or
VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile
to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments.

The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds.

Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits
developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch.
This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching
NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet
packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions
of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues.

Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not
be updated concurrently with the sources.  And in the case of cURL and
OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

a822fb853a msvc: define O_ACCMODE
This constant is not defined in MSVC's headers.

In UCRT's fcntl.h, _O_RDONLY, _O_WRONLY and _O_RDWR are defined as 0, 1
and 2, respectively. Yes, that means that UCRT breaks with the tradition
that O_RDWR == O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY.

It is a perfectly legal way to define those constants, though, therefore
we need to take care of defining O_ACCMODE accordingly.

This is particularly important in order to keep our "open() can set
errno to EISDIR" emulation working: it tests that (flags & O_ACCMODE) is
not identical to O_RDONLY before going on to test specifically whether
the file for which open() reported EACCES is, in fact, a directory.

396ff7547d mingw: replace mingw_startup() hack
Git for Windows has special code to retrieve the command-line parameters
(and even the environment) in UTF-16 encoding, so that they can be
converted to UTF-8. This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to
use UTF-8 encoded strings throughout its code, and the main() function
does not get the parameters in that encoding.

To do that, we used the __wgetmainargs() function, which is not even a
Win32 API function, but provided by the MINGW "runtime" instead.

Obviously, this method would not work with any compiler other than GCC,
and in preparation for compiling with Visual C++, we would like to avoid
precisely that.

Lucky us, there is a much more elegant way: we can simply implement the
UTF-16 variant of `main()`: `wmain()`.

To make that work, we need to link with -municode. The command-line
parameters are passed to `wmain()` encoded in UTF-16, as desired, and
this method also works with GCC, and also with Visual C++ after
adjusting the MSVC linker flags to force it to use `wmain()`.
