When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either - directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1) - or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(), Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost identical errors. As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

tree walking API
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The tree walking API is used to traverse and inspect trees.
|
|
|
|
Data Structures
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
`struct name_entry`::
|
|
|
|
An entry in a tree. Each entry has a sha1 identifier, pathname, and
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
`struct tree_desc`::
|
|
|
|
A semi-opaque data structure used to maintain the current state of the
|
|
walk.
|
|
+
|
|
* `buffer` is a pointer into the memory representation of the tree. It always
|
|
points at the current entry being visited.
|
|
|
|
* `size` counts the number of bytes left in the `buffer`.
|
|
|
|
* `entry` points to the current entry being visited.
|
|
|
|
`struct traverse_info`::
|
|
|
|
A structure used to maintain the state of a traversal.
|
|
+
|
|
* `prev` points to the traverse_info which was used to descend into the
|
|
current tree. If this is the top-level tree `prev` will point to
|
|
a dummy traverse_info.
|
|
|
|
* `name` is the entry for the current tree (if the tree is a subtree).
|
|
|
|
* `pathlen` is the length of the full path for the current tree.
|
|
|
|
* `conflicts` can be used by callbacks to maintain directory-file conflicts.
|
|
|
|
* `fn` is a callback called for each entry in the tree. See Traversing for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
* `data` can be anything the `fn` callback would want to use.
|
|
|
|
* `show_all_errors` tells whether to stop at the first error or not.
|
|
|
|
Initializing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`init_tree_desc`::
|
|
|
|
Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry. The buffer and
|
|
size parameters are assumed to be the same as the buffer and size
|
|
members of `struct tree`.
|
|
|
|
`fill_tree_descriptor`::
|
|
|
|
Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry given the sha1 of
|
|
a tree. Returns the `buffer` member if the sha1 is a valid tree
|
|
identifier and NULL otherwise.
|
|
|
|
`setup_traverse_info`::
|
|
|
|
Initialize a `traverse_info` given the pathname of the tree to start
|
|
traversing from. The `base` argument is assumed to be the `path`
|
|
member of the `name_entry` being recursed into unless the tree is a
|
|
top-level tree in which case the empty string ("") is used.
|
|
|
|
Walking
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
`tree_entry`::
|
|
|
|
Visit the next entry in a tree. Returns 1 when there are more entries
|
|
left to visit and 0 when all entries have been visited. This is
|
|
commonly used in the test of a while loop.
|
|
|
|
`tree_entry_len`::
|
|
|
|
Calculate the length of a tree entry's pathname. This utilizes the
|
|
memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the overhead of using a
|
|
generic strlen().
|
|
|
|
`update_tree_entry`::
|
|
|
|
Walk to the next entry in a tree. This is commonly used in conjunction
|
|
with `tree_entry_extract` to inspect the current entry.
|
|
|
|
`tree_entry_extract`::
|
|
|
|
Decode the entry currently being visited (the one pointed to by
|
|
`tree_desc's` `entry` member) and return the sha1 of the entry. The
|
|
`pathp` and `modep` arguments are set to the entry's pathname and mode
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
`get_tree_entry`::
|
|
|
|
Find an entry in a tree given a pathname and the sha1 of a tree to
|
|
search. Returns 0 if the entry is found and -1 otherwise. The third
|
|
and fourth parameters are set to the entry's sha1 and mode
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
Traversing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
`traverse_trees`::
|
|
|
|
Traverse `n` number of trees in parallel. The `fn` callback member of
|
|
`traverse_info` is called once for each tree entry.
|
|
|
|
`traverse_callback_t`::
|
|
The arguments passed to the traverse callback are as follows:
|
|
+
|
|
* `n` counts the number of trees being traversed.
|
|
|
|
* `mask` has its nth bit set if something exists in the nth entry.
|
|
|
|
* `dirmask` has its nth bit set if the nth tree's entry is a directory.
|
|
|
|
* `entry` is an array of size `n` where the nth entry is from the nth tree.
|
|
|
|
* `info` maintains the state of the traversal.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
Returning a negative value will terminate the traversal. Otherwise the
|
|
return value is treated as an update mask. If the nth bit is set the nth tree
|
|
will be updated and if the bit is not set the nth tree entry will be the
|
|
same in the next callback invocation.
|
|
|
|
`make_traverse_path`::
|
|
|
|
Generate the full pathname of a tree entry based from the root of the
|
|
traversal. For example, if the traversal has recursed into another
|
|
tree named "bar" the pathname of an entry "baz" in the "bar"
|
|
tree would be "bar/baz".
|
|
|
|
`traverse_path_len`::
|
|
|
|
Calculate the length of a pathname returned by `make_traverse_path`.
|
|
This utilizes the memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the
|
|
overhead of using a generic strlen().
