This is the second version of a patch series which implements pre-order and post-order iteration over directories. In this version I use the new iteration scheme to convert entry.c remove_subtree() function from using opendir/readdir/ closedir API to dir-iterator API. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220410111852.2097418-1-kioplato@xxxxxxxxx/ Fork: https://github.com/kioplato/git/tree/dir-iterator-v2 CI: https://github.com/kioplato/git/actions/runs/2295239114 I've ran the full test suite for each commit. In comparison to v1 I changed/fixed/improved: * In this version I followed Phillip's suggestion[1] to explain why I'm making the changes in each commit's description and create smaller, targeted commits. In v1 I did a lot of renaming to directory paths, test descriptions and files. In this version these renames have their own commits. * Explained why I converted dir_iterator_advance() from iterative implementation to recursive in the related commit. Ævar[2] and Phillip[3] asked about why I did this conversion, so I thought it was appropriate to include an explanation in the commit's description. * I talked about a subtle unexpected behavior of dir_iterator_begin() [4]. I was wrong about the two new states for the deepest directory. I introduced those states in order to implement recursive dir_iterator_advance() and not to deal with the unexpected behavior of dir_iterator_begin(). Therefore I splitted the conversion of dir_iteartor_advance() and the changes to deal with the unexpected behavior of dir_iteartor_begin() into two different commits. They need their own commits since they are two unrelated changes. * Split the commit that introduces pre-order and post-order iteration into two. Like Phillip suggested here[5] the first changes dir-iterator default behavior and the second implements post-order iterator over directories. This helps split the tests introduced, which helps generate smaller diffs. * Like Phillip suggested [6], I'll work with the existing code and change one aspect at a time in stages. In this series I converted entry.c remove_subtree() to use dir-iterator API instead of opendir/readdir/closedir API. * The redundant tests [7] in this version were not removed. Instead I kept them for more detailed testing which helps in case a test fails. * Ævar's idea[8] to change the default swich case in test-dir-iterator made me realize that test-dir-iterator does not print errno codes set by failed calls to dir_iterator_advance(). Therefore I made test-dir-iterator print them which makes all tests test_cmp for the errno code set by either dir_iteartor_begin() or dir_iterator_advance(). This presumably has the same effect as changing the default switch case to use BUG() macro. This change also led to two others, one that makes test-dir-iterator explicitly print ELOOP errno and the second that improves readability by consistently returning, C standard constants, either EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE, instead of mixed integers and exit() calls. * fixed coding style and introduces an enum for returning constants instead of more integers which worsens readability, as suggested by Ævar [9]. I also didn't CC Michael and Matheus in this version, since they weren't interested in v1 where I did CC them.
