[PATCH v5 1/5] common-main: split init and exit code into new files

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

 



Currently, object files in libgit.a reference common_exit(), which is
contained in common-main.o. However, common-main.o also includes main(),
which references cmd_main() in git.o, which in turn depends on all the
builtin/*.o objects.

We would like to allow external users to link libgit.a without needing
to include so many extra objects. Enable this by splitting common_exit()
and check_bug_if_BUG() into a new file common-exit.c, and add
common-exit.o to LIB_OBJS so that these are included in libgit.a.

This split has previously been proposed ([1], [2]) to support fuzz tests
and unit tests by avoiding conflicting definitions for main(). However,
both of those issues were resolved by other methods of avoiding symbol
conflicts. Now we are trying to make libgit.a more self-contained, so
hopefully we can revisit this approach.

Additionally, move the initialization code out of main() into a new
init_git() function in its own file. Include this in libgit.a as well,
so that external users can share our setup code without calling our
main().
