[RFC/PATCH 1/5] gettext: fix bug in git-sh-i18n's eval_gettext() by using envsubst(1)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Change eval_gettext(1) in git-sh-i18n.sh to use a modified version of
gettext's envsubst(1) program, instead of using a clever (but broken)
printf + eval + printf trick.

Our previous fallback would incorrectly handle cases where the
variable being interpolated contained spaces. E.g.:

    cmd="git foo"; eval_gettext "command: \$cmd"

Would emit "command: gitfoo", instead of the correct "command: git
foo". This happened with a message in git-am.sh that used the $cmdline
variable.

To work around this, and to improve our variable expansion behavior
(eval has security issues) I've imported a stripped-down version of
gettext's envsubst(1) program.

Using it we pass the latter of the two tests added along with this
patch (the first one was just added for completeness).

Since we want to test both our fallback eval_gettext() and the one
we'll end up using (i.e. on Solaris) the new tests are executed in
both t0200-gettext-basic.sh and t0201-gettext-fallbacks.sh.

These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into
sh-i18n--envsubst.c:

 * Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends.

 * Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers.

 * Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified
   version doesn't do option parsing at all, because it doesn't need
   to.

 * Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of
   error(3).

 * Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just
   xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's.

 * Removed functions made redundant since I deleted some code paths
   from main(). These were:

    * print_variables
    * note_variables
    * print_variable
    * string_list_init
    * cmp_string
    * string_list_sort
    * string_list_destroy
    * find_variables
    * note_variable
    * note_variables

 * Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following
   replacements on the code:

    * s/bool/unsigned short int/g
    * s/true/1/g
    * s/false/0/g
