Replace parse_blob() with an explanatory comment

2010-01-19T01:04:02Z

parse_blob() has never actually been used; it has served simply to avoid having a confusing gap in the API. Instead of leaving it, put in a comment that explains what "parsing a blob" entails (making sure the object is actually readable), and why code might care whether a blob has been parsed or not.

Clean up object creation to use more common code

2007-04-17T06:36:16Z

This replaces the fairly odd "created_object()" function that did _most_ of the object setup with a more complete "create_object()" function that also has a more natural calling convention. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

convert object type handling from a string to a number

2007-02-27T09:34:21Z

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place. This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the system. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

simplify inclusion of system header files.

2006-12-20T17:51:35Z

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.

2006-07-13T06:18:03Z

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

Add specialized object allocator

2006-06-20T01:42:21Z

This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic objects. This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed. It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows object usage as follows: blobs: 627629 (14710 kB) trees: 1119035 (34969 kB) commits: 196423 (8440 kB) tags: 1336 (46 kB) and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit faster too. [ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage". The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects. Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10% of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient). I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly need to. So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair amount. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Shrink "struct object" a bit

2006-06-18T01:49:18Z

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

[PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.

2006-01-07T18:51:06Z

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array at the end of a structure, like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[]; /* more */ }; GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]"; unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90. This declares such construct like this: struct frotz { int xyzzy; char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */ }; and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and empty for others. If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the command line of "make". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
