When chainlint detects problems in a test, such as a broken &&-chain, it
prints out the test with "?!FOO?!" annotations inserted at each problem
location. However, rather than annotating the original test definition,
it instead dumps out a parsed token representation of the test. Since it
lacks comments, indentations, here-doc bodies, and so forth, this
tokenized representation can be difficult for the test author to digest
and relate back to the original test definition.
To address this shortcoming, an upcoming change will make it print out
an annotated copy of the original test definition rather than the
tokenized representation. In order to do so, it will need to know the
start and end positions of each token in the original test definition.
As preparation, upgrade TestParser::scan_token() to latch the start and
end position of the token being scanned, and return that information
along with the token itself. A subsequent change will take advantage of
this positional information.
In terms of implementation, TestParser::scan_token() is retrofitted to
return a tuple consisting of the token's lexeme and its start and end
positions, rather than returning just the lexeme. However, an
alternative would be to define a class which represents a token:
package Token;
sub new {
my ($class, $lexeme, $start, $end) = @_;
bless [$lexeme, $start, $end] => $class;
}
sub as_string {
my $self = shift @_;
return $self->[0];
}
sub compare {
my ($x, $y) = @_;
if (UNIVERSAL::isa($y, 'Token')) {
return $x->[0] cmp $y->[0];
}
return $x->[0] cmp $y;
}
use overload (
'""' => 'as_string',
'cmp' => 'compare'
);
The major benefit of the class-based approach is that it is entirely
non-invasive; it requires no additional changes to the rest of the
script since a Token converts automatically to a string, which is what
scan_token() historically returned.
The big downside to the Token approach, however, is that it is _slow_;
on this developer's (old) machine, it increases user-time by an
unacceptable seven seconds when scanning all test scripts in the
project. Hence, the simple tuple approach is employed instead since it
adds only a fraction of a second user-time.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
