The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit
unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)
might be easier to read.
Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

Before, when creating a temporary file failed, a generic 'Unable to create
temporary file' message was printed. In some cases this could lead to
confusion as to which directory should be checked for correct permissions etc.
This patch adds the template for the temporary filename to the error message,
converting it to an absolute path if needed. A test verifies that the template
is indeed printed when pointing to a nonexistent or unwritable directory.
A copy of the original template is made in case mkstemp clears the template.

As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains,
use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the
rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory.
That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience
wrapper to exit when no memory is available.
So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until
the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git().
After this change, a simple program using xmalloc() and no other
functions will not pull in any code from libgit.a aside from wrapper.o
and usage.o.

git_mkstemp_mode and related functions do not require access to
specialized git machinery, unlike some other functions from
path.c (like set_shared_perm()). Move them to wrapper.c where
the wrapper xmkstemp_mode is defined.
This eliminates a dependency of wrapper.o on environment.o via
path.o. With typical linkers (e.g., gcc), that dependency makes
programs that use functions from wrapper.o and not environment.o
or path.o larger than they need to be.

The odb_mkstemp and odb_pack_keep functions open files under the
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY directory. This requires access to the git
configuration which very simple programs do not need.
Move these functions to environment.o, closer to their dependencies.
This should make it easier for programs to link to wrapper.o without
linking to environment.o.

wrapper.o depends on sha1_file.o for a number of reasons. One is
release_pack_memory().
xmmap function calls mmap, discarding unused pack windows when
necessary to relieve memory pressure. Simple git programs using
wrapper.o as a friendly libc do not need this functionality.
So move xmmap to sha1_file.o, where release_pack_memory() is.

* js/try-to-free-stackable:
Do not call release_pack_memory in malloc wrappers when GIT_TRACE is used
Have set_try_to_free_routine return the previous routine
This effectively requires from the callers of set_try_to_free_routine to
treat the try-to-free-routines as a stack.
We will need this for the next patch where the only current caller cannot
depend on that the previously set routine was the default routine.

By providing a hook for the routine responsible for trying to free some
memory on malloc failure, we can ensure that the called routine is
protected by the appropriate locks when threads are in play.
The obvious offender here was pack-objects which was calling xmalloc()
within threads while release_pack_memory() is not thread safe.

We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.
But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.
In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

gitmkstemps emulates the behavior of mkstemps, which is usually used
to create files in a shared directory like /tmp/, hence, it creates
files with permission 0600.
Add git_mkstemps_mode() that allows us to specify the desired mode, and
make git_mkstemps() a wrapper that always uses 0600 to call it. Later we
will use git_mkstemps_mode() when creating pack files.

This seem to be a very common pattern in the current code.
The function prints a generic removal failure message, the file name
which failed and readable errno presentation. The function preserves
errno and always returns the value unlink(2) returned, but prints
no message for ENOENT, as it was the most often filtered out in the
code calling unlink. Besides, removing a file is anyway the purpose of
calling unlink.

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.
After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.
Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.
This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.
- odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;
- odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
create leading directories as needed.

R. Tyler Ballance reported a mysterious transient repository corruption;
after much digging, it turns out that we were not catching and reporting
memory allocation errors from some calls we make to zlib.
This one _just_ wraps things; it doesn't do the "retry on low memory
error" part, at least not yet. It is an independent issue from the
reporting. Some of the errors are expected and passed back to the caller,
but we die when zlib reports it failed to allocate memory for now.

So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with
the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text
section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of
text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make
me think "lean and mean".
With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions
that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance
really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial
wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them
inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on
failure) unnecessarily.
So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit
of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os":
Before:
[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
text data bss dec hex filename
700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git
After:
[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
text data bss dec hex filename
670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git
so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that
with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant
number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint).
It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be
_that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper
anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the
read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).
