4f6728d52d treewide: remove unnecessary cache.h inclusion from several sources
A number of files were apparently including cache.h solely to get
gettext.h.  By making those files explicitly include gettext.h, we can
already drop the include of cache.h in these files.  On top of that,
there were some files using cache.h that didn't need to for any reason.
Remove these unnecessary includes.

4496526f80 xdiff: implement a zealous diff3, or "zdiff3"
"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction
of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of
the conflict hunk.  For example, the following diff3 conflict:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    <<<<<<
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    ||||||
    5
    6
    ======
    A
    X
    C
    Y
    E
    >>>>>>
    7
    8
    9

has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides.  With zdiff3, one
would instead get the following conflict:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    A
    <<<<<<
    B
    C
    D
    ||||||
    5
    6
    ======
    X
    C
    Y
    >>>>>>
    E
    7
    8
    9

Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict.  Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.

Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6').  This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

5d93460024 xdiff-interface: replace discard_hunk_line() with a flag
Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in
3b40a090fd (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines,
2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for
use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags.

Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be
called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted
once.

It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy
callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work
if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header.

It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit
of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the
door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more
intuitive.

The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is
that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940 (xdiff: drop
XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

9e20442298 xdiff-interface: allow early return from xdiff_emit_line_fn
Finish the change started in the preceding commit and allow an early
return from "xdiff_emit_line_fn" callbacks, this will allows
diffcore-pickaxe.c to save itself redundant work.

Our xdiff interface also had the limitation of not being able to abort
early since the beginning, see d9ea73e056 (combine-diff: refactor
built-in xdiff interface., 2006-04-05). Although at that time
"xdiff_emit_line_fn" was called "xdiff_emit_consume_fn", and
"xdiff_emit_hunk_fn" didn't exist yet.

There was some work in this area of xdiff-interface.[ch] recently with
3b40a090fd (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines,
2018-11-02) and 7c61e25fbf (diff: use hunk callback for word-diff,
2018-11-02).

In combination those two changes allow us to not do any work on the
hunks and diff at all, but didn't change the status quo with regards
to consumers that e.g. want the diff lines, but might want to abort
early.

Whereas now we can abort e.g. on the first "-line" of a 1000 line diff
if that's all we needed.

This interface is rather scary as noted in the comment to
xdiff-interface.h being added here, as noted there a future change
could add more exit codes, and hack xdl_emit_diff() and friends to
ignore or skip things more selectively as a result.

I did not see an inherent reason for why xdl_emit_{diffrec,record}()
could not be changed to ferry the "xdiff_emit_line_fn" error code
upwards instead of returning -1 on all "ret < 0".

But doing so would require corresponding changes in xdl_emit_diff(),
xdl_diff(). I didn't see any issue with narrowly doing that to
accomplish what I needed here, but it would leave xdiff's own return
values in an inconsistent state.

Instead I've left it at returning a more conventional (for git's own
codebase) 1 for an early return, and translating it (or rather, all
non-zero) to -1 for xdiff's consumption.

The reason for most of the "stop" complexity in xdiff_outf() is
because we want to be able to abort early, but do so in a way that
doesn't skip the appropriate strbuf_reset() invocations.

14228447c9 hash: provide per-algorithm null OIDs
Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash.  Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms.  Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.

Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

3cd309c16f xdiff: avoid computing non-zero offset from NULL pointer
As with the previous commit, clang-11's UBSan complains about computing
offsets from a NULL pointer, causing some tests to fail. In this case,
though, we're actually computing a non-zero offset, which is even more
dubious. From t7810:

  xdiff-interface.c:268:14: runtime error: applying non-zero offset 1 to null pointer
  ...
  not ok 131 - grep -p with userdiff

The problem is our parsing of the funcname config. We count the number
of lines in the string, allocate an array, and then loop over our
allocated entries, parsing each line and moving our cursor to one past
the trailing newline for the next iteration.

But the final line will not generally have a trailing newline (since
it's a config value), and hence we go to one past NULL. In practice this
is OK, since our loop should terminate before we look at the value. But
even computing such an invalid pointer technically violates the
standard.

We can fix it by leaving the pointer at NULL if we're at the end, rather
than one-past. And while we're thinking about it, we can also document
the variant by asserting that our initial line-count matches the
second-pass of parsing.

d20bc01a51 avoid computing zero offsets from NULL pointer
The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer in clang-11 seems to have learned a new
trick: it complains about computing offsets from a NULL pointer, even if
that offset is 0. This causes numerous test failures. For example, from
t1090:

  unpack-trees.c:1355:41: runtime error: applying zero offset to null pointer
  ...
  not ok 6 - in partial clone, sparse checkout only fetches needed blobs

The code in question looks like this:

  struct cache_entry **cache_end = cache + nr;
  ...
  while (cache != cache_end)

and we sometimes pass in a NULL and 0 for "cache" and "nr". This is
conceptually fine, as "cache_end" would be equal to "cache" in this
case, and we wouldn't enter the loop at all. But computing even a zero
offset violates the C standard. And given the fact that UBSan is
noticing this behavior, this might be a potential problem spot if the
compiler starts making unexpected assumptions based on undefined
behavior.

So let's just avoid it, which is pretty easy. In some cases we can just
switch to iterating with a numeric index (as we do in sequencer.c here).
In other cases (like the cache_end one) the use of an end pointer is
more natural; we can keep that by just explicitly checking for the
NULL/0 case when assigning the end pointer.

Note that there are two ways you can write this latter case, checking
for the pointer:

  cache_end = cache ? cache + nr : cache;

or the size:

  cache_end = nr ? cache + nr : cache;

For the case of a NULL/0 ptr/len combo, they are equivalent. But writing
it the second way (as this patch does) has the property that if somebody
were to incorrectly pass a NULL pointer with a non-zero length, we'd
continue to notice and segfault, rather than silently pretending the
length was zero.

5eade0746e xdiff-interface: drop parse_hunk_header()
This function was used only for parsing the hunk headers generated by
xdiff. Now that we can use hunk callbacks to get that information
directly, it has outlived its usefulness.

Note to anyone who wants to resurrect it: the "len" parameter was
totally unused, meaning that the function could read past the end of the
"line" array. In practice this never happened, because we only used it
to parse xdiff's generated header lines. But it would be dangerous to
use it for other cases without fixing this defect.

7c61e25fbf diff: use hunk callback for word-diff
Our word-diff does not look at the -/+ lines generated by xdiff at all
(because they are not real lines to show the user, but just the
tokenized words split into lines). Instead we use the line numbers from
the hunk headers to index our own data structure.

As a result, our xdi_diff_outf() callback throws away all lines except
hunk headers. We can instead use a hunk callback, which has two
benefits:

  1. We don't have to re-parse the generated hunk header line, but can
     use the passed parameters directly.

  2. By setting our line callback to NULL, we can tell xdiff-interface
     that it does not even need to bother generating the other lines,
     saving a small amount of work.

3b40a090fd diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines
Some callers of xdi_diff_outf() do not look at the generated hunk header
lines at all. By plugging in a no-op hunk callback, this tells xdiff not
to even bother formatting them.

This patch introduces a stock no-op callback and uses it with a few
callers whose line callbacks explicitly ignore hunk headers (because
they look only for +/- lines).

9346d6d14d xdiff-interface: provide a separate consume callback for hunks
The previous commit taught xdiff to optionally provide the hunk header
data to a specialized callback. But most users of xdiff actually use our
more convenient xdi_diff_outf() helper, which ensures that our callbacks
are always fed whole lines.

Let's plumb the special hunk-callback through this interface, too. It
will follow the same rule as xdiff when the hunk callback is NULL (i.e.,
continue to pass a stringified hunk header to the line callback). Since
we add NULL to each caller, there should be no behavior change yet.

611e42a598 xdiff: provide a separate emit callback for hunks
The xdiff library always emits hunk header lines to our callbacks as
formatted strings like "@@ -a,b +c,d @@\n". This is convenient if we're
going to output a diff, but less so if we actually need to compute using
those numbers, which requires re-parsing the line.

In preparation for moving away from this, let's teach xdiff a new
callback function which gets the broken-out hunk information. To help
callers that don't want to use this new callback, if it's NULL we'll
continue to format the hunk header into a string.

Note that this function renames the "outf" callback to "out_line", as
well. This isn't strictly necessary, but helps in two ways:

  1. Now that there are two callbacks, it's nice to use more descriptive
     names.

  2. Many callers did not zero the emit_callback_data struct, and needed
     to be modified to set ecb.out_hunk to NULL. By changing the name of
     the existing struct member, that guarantees that any new callers
     from in-flight topics will break the build and be examined
     manually.

4a7e27e957 convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.

The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).

This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.

I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where

or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3).  By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

e0876bca4d xdiff: don't trim common tail with -W
The function trim_common_tail() exits early if context lines are
requested.  If -U0 and -W are specified together then it can still trim
context lines that might belong to a changed function.  As a result
that function is shown incompletely.

Fix that by calling trim_common_tail() only if no function context or
fixed context is requested.  The parameter ctx is no longer needed now;
remove it.

While at it fix an outdated comment as well.

b32fa95fd8 convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAY
Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:

  1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
     for overflow.

  2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
     so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
     type of the array.

dcd1742e56 xdiff: reject files larger than ~1GB
The xdiff code is not prepared to handle extremely large
files. It uses "int" in many places, which can overflow if
we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in our
input files. This can cause us to produce incorrect diffs,
with no indication that the output is wrong. Or worse, we
may even underallocate a buffer whose size is the result of
an overflowing addition.

We're much better off to tell the user that we cannot diff
or merge such a large file. This patch covers both cases,
but in slightly different ways:

  1. For merging, we notice the large file and cleanly fall
     back to a binary merge (which is effectively "we cannot
     merge this").

  2. For diffing, we make the binary/text distinction much
     earlier, and in many different places. For this case,
     we'll use the xdi_diff as our choke point, and reject
     any diff there before it hits the xdiff code.

     This means in most cases we'll die() immediately after.
     That's not ideal, but in practice we shouldn't
     generally hit this code path unless the user is trying
     to do something tricky. We already consider files
     larger than core.bigfilethreshold to be binary, so this
     code would only kick in when that is circumvented
     (either by bumping that value, or by using a
     .gitattribute to mark a file as diffable).

     In other words, we can avoid being "nice" here, because
     there is already nice code that tries to do the right
     thing. We are adding the suspenders to the nice code's
     belt, so notice when it has been worked around (both to
     protect the user from malicious inputs, and because it
     is better to die() than generate bogus output).

The maximum size was chosen after experimenting with feeding
large files to the xdiff code. It's just under a gigabyte,
which leaves room for two obvious cases:

  - a diff3 merge conflict result on files of maximum size X
    could be 3*X plus the size of the markers, which would
    still be only about 3G, which fits in a 32-bit int.

  - some of the diff code allocates arrays of one int per
    record. Even if each file consists only of blank lines,
    then a file smaller than 1G will have fewer than 1G
    records, and therefore the int array will fit in 4G.

Since the limit is arbitrary anyway, I chose to go under a
gigabyte, to leave a safety margin (e.g., we would not want
to overflow by allocating "(records + 1) * sizeof(int)" or
similar.

1b6ecbad35 xdiff-interface.c: always trim trailing space from xfuncname matches
Generally, trailing space is removed from the string matched by the
xfuncname patterns.  The exception is when the matched string exceeds the
length of the fixed-size buffer that it will be copied in to.  But, a
string that exceeds the buffer can still contain trailing space in the
portion of the string that will be copied into the buffer.  So, simplify
this code slightly, and just perform the trailing space removal always.

xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter,
ignoring any value that callers pass in.  It's no surprise then that all
callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure.  They also don't
read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor
for output.   Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

563d5a2c84 xdiff-interface.c: strip newline (and cr) from line before pattern matching
POSIX doth sayeth:

Thus far git has not been removing the trailing newline from strings matched
against regular expression patterns. This has the effect that (quoting
Jonathan del Strother) "... a line containing just 'FUNCNAME' (terminated by
a newline) will be matched by the pattern '^(FUNCNAME.$)' but not
'^(FUNCNAME$)'", and more simply not '^FUNCNAME$'.
