There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:
@@
type T;
identifier f;
@@
- extern
T f(...);
and it was run with:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

Introduce a "max_off" field in struct sliding_view, roughly
representing a maximum number of bytes that can be read from "file".
If it is set to a nonnegative integer, a call to move_window()
attempting to put the right endpoint beyond that offset will return
an error instead.
The idea is to use this when applying Subversion-format deltas to
prevent reads past the end of the preimage (which has known length).
Without such a check, corrupt deltas would cause svn-fe to block
indefinitely when data in the input pipe is exhausted.

Each section of a Subversion-format delta only requires examining (and
keeping in random-access memory) a small portion of the preimage. At
any moment, this portion starts at a certain file offset and has a
well-defined length, and as the delta is applied, the portion advances
from the beginning to the end of the preimage. Add a move_window
function to keep track of this view into the preimage.
You can use it like this:
buffer_init(f, NULL);
struct sliding_view window = SLIDING_VIEW_INIT(f);
move_window(&window, 3, 7); /* (1) */
move_window(&window, 5, 5); /* (2) */
move_window(&window, 12, 2); /* (3) */
strbuf_release(&window.buf);
buffer_deinit(f);
The data structure is called sliding_view instead of _window to
prevent confusion with svndiff0 Windows.
In this example, (1) reads 10 bytes and discards the first 3;
(2) discards the first 2, which are not needed any more; and (3) skips
2 bytes and reads 2 new bytes to work with.
When move_window returns, the file position indicator is at position
window->off + window->width and the data from positions window->off to
the current file position are stored in window->buf.
This function performs only sequential access from the input file and
never seeks, so it can be safely used on pipes and sockets.
On end-of-file, move_window silently reads less than the caller
requested. On other errors, it prints a message and returns -1.
