line-log.[ch] use left-closed, right-open interval logic. Change comment and debug output to square brackets+parentheses notation to help developers avoid off-by-one errors. --- Original idea for this change in recent thread about line-log changes: https://public-inbox.org/git/9776862d-18b2-43ec-cfeb-829418d4d967@xxxxxxxxx/ line-log.c also uses ASCII graphics |---| in some comments, like: /* * a: |------- * b: ------| */ But I'm not sure if replacing them with /* * a: [------- * b: ------) */ will be helpful. Another possibility is to update comment for range_set_append_unsafe to read /* tack on a _new_ range [a,b) _at the end_ */ void range_set_append_unsafe(struct range_set *rs, long a, long b) line-log.c | 4 ++-- line-log.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/line-log.c b/line-log.c index fa9cfd5bd..60f3174ac 100644 --- a/line-log.c +++ b/line-log.c @@ -353,7 +353,7 @@ static void dump_range_set(struct range_set *rs, const char *desc) int i; printf("range set %s (%d items):\n", desc, rs->nr); for (i = 0; i < rs->nr; i++) - printf("\t[%ld,%ld]\n", rs->ranges[i].start, rs->ranges[i].end); + printf("\t[%ld,%ld)\n", rs->ranges[i].start, rs->ranges[i].end); } static void dump_line_log_data(struct line_log_data *r) @@ -373,7 +373,7 @@ static void dump_diff_ranges(struct diff_ranges *diff, const char *desc) printf("diff ranges %s (%d items):\n", desc, diff->parent.nr); printf("\tparent\ttarget\n"); for (i = 0; i < diff->parent.nr; i++) { - printf("\t[%ld,%ld]\t[%ld,%ld]\n", + printf("\t[%ld,%ld)\t[%ld,%ld)\n", diff->parent.ranges[i].start, diff->parent.ranges[i].end, diff->target.ranges[i].start, diff --git a/line-log.h b/line-log.h index e2a5ee7c6..488c86409 100644 --- a/line-log.h +++ b/line-log.h @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ struct rev_info; struct commit; -/* A range [start,end].
