[PATCH v2] diff-lib: ignore all outsider if --relative asked

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

 



For diff family commands, we can tell them to exclude changes outside
of some directories if --relative is requested.

In diff_unmerge(), NULL will be returned if the requested path is
outside of the interesting directories, thus we'll run into NULL
pointer dereference in run_diff_files when trying to dereference
its return value.

Checking for return value of diff_unmerge before dereferencing
is not sufficient, though. Since, diff engine will try to work on such
pathspec later.

Let's not run diff on those unintesting entries, instead.
As a side effect, by skipping like that, we can save some CPU cycles.

    -    We can simply check for NULL there before dereferencing said
    -    return value.  However, we can do better by not running diff
    -    on those unintesting entries.  Let's do that instead.

    - ## Notes ##
    -    Check for return value of diff_unmerge is not enough.
    -
    -    Yes, it works with --name-only, however, with only --relative,
    -    git-diff shows unmerged entries outside of subdir, too.
    -
    -    Furthermore, the filename in "diff --cc" ignores the relative prefix.
    -    Fixing this requires touching all over places, at least from my study.
    -    Let's fix the crash, first.
    -
    -    We have two choices here:
    -
    -    * Check pair, aka return value of diff_unmerge, like my original
    -      suggestion, and the unmerged entries from outside will be shown, too.
    -      Some inconsistent will be observed, --name-only won't list files
    -      outside of subdir, while the patch shows them.  At least, it doesn't
    -      create false impression of no change outside of subdir.
    -
    -    * Skip all outsiders, like this patch.
    -
    -    While I prefer this approach, I don't know all ramifications of this change,
    -    let's say an entry moved to outside of subdir in one side, and modified in
    -    other side.
    -
    -    Because, I pick the different approach, Junio's ack isn't included here.
