2026-05-14hex: add and use strbuf_add_oid_hex()René Scharfe1-0/+5
Add a function for adding the full hexadecimal hash value of an object ID to a strbuf. It's thread-safe and slightly more efficient than using strbuf_addstr() with oid_to_hex() because it doesn't have to determine the length of the string or copy it from the intermediate static buffer. Add and apply a semantic patch to use it throughout the code base. I get a tiny speedup for git log showing a single hash per commit: Benchmark 1: ./git_main log --format=%H Time (mean ± σ): 91.2 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 51.9 ms, System: 38.6 ms] Range (min … max): 89.8 ms … 92.6 ms 31 runs Benchmark 2: ./git log --format=%H Time (mean ± σ): 90.5 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 51.0 ms, System: 38.8 ms] Range (min … max): 89.2 ms … 92.3 ms 32 runs Summary ./git log --format=%H ran 1.01 ± 0.01 times faster than ./git_main log --format=%H Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-04-01refs/files-backend: drop const to fix strchr() warningJeff King1-2/+4
In show_one_reflog_ent(), we're fed a writable strbuf buffer, which we parse into the various reflog components. We write a NUL over email_end to tie off one of the fields, and thus email_end must be non-const. But with a C23 implementation of libc, strchr() will now complain when assigning the result to a non-const pointer from a const one. So we can fix this by making the source pointer non-const. But there's a catch. We derive that source pointer by parsing the line with parse_oid_hex_algop(), which requires a const pointer for its out-parameter. We can work around that by teaching it to use our CONST_OUTPARAM() trick, just like skip_prefix(). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14hex: guard declarations with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`Patrick Steinhardt1-10/+16
Guard declarations of functions that implicitly use `the_repository` with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` such that callers don't accidentally rely on that global variable. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14hash-ll: merge with "hash.h"Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
The "hash-ll.h" header was introduced via d1cbe1e6d8 (hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.h, 2023-04-22) to make explicit the split between hash-related functions that rely on the global `the_repository`, and those that don't. This split is no longer necessary now that we we have removed the reliance on `the_repository`. Merge "hash-ll.h" back into "hash.h". This causes some code units to not include "repository.h" anymore, which requires us to add some forward declarations.

2023-09-29hex-ll: separate out non-hash-algo functionsCalvin Wan1-23/+1
In order to further reduce all-in-one headers, separate out functions in hex.h that do not operate on object hashes into its own file, hex-ll.h, and update the include directives in the .c files that need only such functions accordingly.

2023-07-24hex: retire get_sha1_hex()Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
The naming convention around get_sha1_hex() and its friends is awkward these days, after "struct object_id" was introduced. There are three public functions around this area: * get_sha1_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill uchar * * get_oid_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill oid * * get_oid_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill oid * Between the latter two, the "_algop" suffix signals whether the the_hash_algo is used as the implied algorithm or the caller should pass an algorithm explicitly. That is very much understandable and is a good convention. Between the former two, however, the "SHA1" vs "OID" in the names differentiate in what type of variable the result is stored. We could argue that it makes sense to use "SHA1" to mean "flat byte buffer" to honor the historical practice in the days before "struct object_id" was invented, but the natural fourth friend of the above group would take an algop and fill a flat byte buffer, and it would be strange to name it get_sha1_hex_algop(). Do we use the passed in algo, or are we limited to SHA-1 ;-)? In fact, such a function exists, albeit as a private helper function used by the implementation of these functions, and is named a lot more sensibly: get_hash_hex_algop(). Correct the misnomer of get_sha1_hex() and use "hash", instead of "sha1", as "flat byte buffer that stores binary (as opposed to hexadecimal) representation of the hash". The four (2x2) friends now become: * get_hash_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill uchar * * get_oid_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill oid * * get_hash_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill uchar * * get_oid_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill oid * As there are only two remaining calls to get_sha1_hex() in the codebase right now, the blast radious of this change is fairly small.

2023-04-24hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.hElijah Newren1-1/+1
hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However, most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level" parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where the convenience inline functions aren't needed. This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be more explicit about what they depend upon.

2023-02-23hex.h: move some hex-related declarations from cache.hElijah Newren1-0/+84
hex.c contains code for hex-related functions, but for some reason these functions were declared in the catch-all cache.h. Move the function declarations into a hex.h header instead. This also allows us to remove includes of cache.h from a few C files. For now, we make cache.h include hex.h, so that it is easier to review the direct changes being made by this patch. In the next patch, we will remove that, and add the necessary direct '#include "hex.h"' in the hundreds of C files that need it. Note that reviewing the header changes in this commit might be simplified via git log --no-walk -p --color-moved $COMMIT -- '*.h'` In particular, it highlights the simple movement of code in .h files rather nicely.
