Previously, a binary file in the diffstat would show as: some-binary-file.bin | Bin The space after the "Bin" was never used. This patch changes binary lines in the diffstat to be: some-binary-file.bin | Bin 123456 -> 12345 bytes The very nice "->" notation was suggested by Johannes Schindelin, and shows the before and after sizes more clearly than "+" and "-" would. If a size is 0 it's not shown (although it would probably be better to treat no-file differently from zero-byte-file). The user can see what changed in the binary file, and how big the new file is. This is in keeping with the information in the rest of the diffstat. The diffstat_t members "added" and "deleted" were unused when the file was binary, so this patch loads them with the file sizes in builtin_diffstat(). These figures are then read in show_stats() when the file is marked binary. Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@xxxxxxxxx> --- Good call. I like it. "->" is much better than "+" and "-"; they would imply that a set of bytes had been removed and another set added to replace them - obviously nonsense. diff.c | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index d1eae72..ea322e2 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -808,7 +808,16 @@ static void show_stats(struct diffstat_t* data, struct diff_options *options) if (data->files[i]->is_binary) { show_name(prefix, name, len, reset, set); - printf(" Bin\n"); + printf(" Bin "); + if (added != 0) + printf("%s%i%s", add_c, added, reset); + if (added != 0 && deleted != 0 ) + printf(" -> "); + if (deleted != 0) + printf("%s%i%s", del_c, deleted, reset); + if (added != 0 || deleted != 0 ) + printf(" bytes"); + printf("\n"); goto free_diffstat_file; } else if (data->files[i]->is_unmerged) { @@ -1179,9 +1188,11 @@ static void builtin_diffstat(const char *name_a, const char *name_b, if (fill_mmfile(&mf1, one) < 0 || fill_mmfile(&mf2, two) < 0) die("unable to read files to diff"); - if (mmfile_is_binary(&mf1) || mmfile_is_binary(&mf2)) + if (mmfile_is_binary(&mf1) || mmfile_is_binary(&mf2)) { data->is_binary = 1; - else { + data->added = mf2.size; + data->deleted = mf1.size; + } else { /* Crazy xdl interfaces.. */ xpparam_t xpp; xdemitconf_t xecfg; -- 1.5.0.2.205.gea888-dirty - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
