The \"verbose\" in\nread_empty() would always be false, and the one in reset_hard() would\nalways be true.\n\nThere was never a good reason for the code to act this way, it\nhappened because the read_empty() function was a copy/pasted and\nadjusted version of reset_hard().\n\nSince we're no longer conditionally adding the \"-v\" parameter\nhere (and we'd only add it for \"reset_hard()\" we'll be able to move to\na simpler and safer run-command API in the subsequent commit.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason \nSigned-off-by: René Scharfe \n---\n builtin/merge.c | 13 +++++--------\n 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)\n\ndiff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c\nindex 5900b81729..3bb49d805b 100644\n--- a/builtin/merge.c\n+++ b/builtin/merge.c\n@@ -345,14 +345,12 @@ static int save_state(struct object_id *stash)\n \treturn rc;\n }\n\n-static void read_empty(const struct object_id *oid, int verbose)\n+static void read_empty(const struct object_id *oid)\n {\n \tint i = 0;\n \tconst char *args[7];\n\n \targs[i++] = \"read-tree\";\n-\tif (verbose)\n-\t\targs[i++] = \"-v\";\n \targs[i++] = \"-m\";\n \targs[i++] = \"-u\";\n \targs[i++] = empty_tree_oid_hex();\n@@ -363,14 +361,13 @@ static void read_empty(const struct object_id *oid, int verbose)\n \t\tdie(_(\"read-tree failed\"));\n }\n\n-static void reset_hard(const struct object_id *oid, int verbose)\n+static void reset_hard(const struct object_id *oid)\n {\n \tint i = 0;\n \tconst char *args[6];\n\n \targs[i++] = \"read-tree\";\n-\tif (verbose)\n-\t\targs[i++] = \"-v\";\n+\targs[i++] = \"-v\";\n \targs[i++] = \"--reset\";\n \targs[i++] = \"-u\";\n \targs[i++] = oid_to_hex(oid);\n@@ -385,7 +382,7 @@ static void restore_state(const struct object_id *head,\n {\n \tstruct strvec args = STRVEC_INIT;\n\n-\treset_hard(head, 1);\n+\treset_hard(head);\n\n \tif (is_null_oid(stash))\n \t\tgoto refresh_cache;\n@@ -1470,7 +1467,7 @@ int cmd_merge(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)\n \t\t\t\t\t check_trust_level);\n\n \t\tremote_head_oid = &remoteheads->item->object.oid;\n-\t\tread_empty(remote_head_oid, 0);\n+\t\tread_empty(remote_head_oid);\n \t\tupdate_ref(\"initial pull\", \"HEAD\", remote_head_oid, NULL, 0,\n \t\t\t UPDATE_REFS_DIE_ON_ERR);\n \t\tgoto done;\n--\n2.38.1\n"},{"id":"465873","messageId":"033ebd37-40c7-01bc-e9bb-29d738532125@web.de","threadId":"58704","inReplyTo":"7407e074-4bd8-b351-7fa4-baf59b41880c@web.de","subject":"[PATCH 2/8] bisect--helper: factor out do_bisect_run()","fromName":"René Scharfe","fromEmail":"l.s.r@web.de","sentAt":"2022-10-27T16:35:53Z","receivedAt":"2022-10-27T16:36:14Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"l.s.r@web.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/26122331?v=4"},"body":"Deduplicate the code for reporting and starting the bisect run command\nby moving it to a short helper function.

I was a bit puzzled at\nthe layout of your series at first. In particular, the difference\nbetween cases in patch 4 versus the later ones.\n\nI think it is that in patch 4, these are all unambiguously positive\nbecause we are getting rid of magic numbers (or magically-sized arrays).\nWhereas in patches 5-8, there's nothing inherently wrong with the\ncall-sites; but as we get rid of the API wrappers, we convert them. So\nthey are collateral damage, so to speak, from the simplification of the\nAPI.\n\nThat makes sense to me, though I could point out that most of the sites\ncleaned up in patch 4 _could_ be converted to look like the ones that\nare converted in 5-8. Obviously that doesn't make sense to do, knowing\nthat 5-8 are coming. But if the point in splitting it this way is to\nshow that we could stop at patch 4, cleaning up call sites but not\nshrinking the run-command API, then I just want to point out that there\nis another way to do those cleanups. :)\n\nAll that said, you will be unsurprised to hear that I am on board with\nthe direction of 5-8, so this all looks good to me. I'm just laying out\nmy thought process while reviewing.\n\nI also think it would have been fine to just drop the whole API in one\npatch (i.e., squashing 5-8), which makes the intermediate diffs a bit\nshorter. But I do not mind at all having the cases broken out.\n\nThanks for cleaning this up.\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"465907","messageId":"221027.864jvpau2d.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com","threadId":"58704","inReplyTo":"e72a1abe-3098-e4fb-f064-a8b5c8f14239@web.de","subject":"Re: [PATCH 5/8] replace and remove run_command_v_opt_cd_env()","fromName":"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason","fromEmail":"avarab@gmail.com","sentAt":"2022-10-27T20:16:54Z","receivedAt":"2022-10-27T20:30:12Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"avarab@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45301?v=4"},"body":"\nOn Thu, Oct 27 2022, René Scharfe wrote:\n\n> run_command_v_opt_cd_env() is only used in an example in a comment.\n\nIs it?

In your 3/8 you rewrite a bunch of callers, and one of those is the\n odd one out in 3/8 using run_command_v_opt_cd_env().\n 2. There's an in-between unrelated cleanup in 4/8\n 3. This 5/8 commit, removing the now-stale run_command_v_opt_cd_env().\n 4. A nicely atomic 6/8 removing run_command_v_opt_tr2() and its last caller\n 5. Your 7/8 has the run_command_v_opt_cd_env_tr2(), but unlike this\n commit you didn't bundle up the \"Use [...it...] directly\" like here.\n\nAnyway, I find the end state to be mostly OK, but FWIW I wouldn't mind\nif this were a bit less confusing.\n\nYou seem to have ended up with this because of grouping the '\"args\" and\n\"env\" directly' callers together.\n\nFWIW I'd be fine with just squashing most of this together, it's already\na ~200 line commit, the commit message could just call out these\nexceptions.\n\n*Or* do it more incrementally, but then the choice of not doing the last\ncallers of the odd ones out atomically seems a bit weird....\n\nAnyway, if you want to just keep it as it is I'm also fine with it.

in my version, but it's probably worth\nmentioning when converting some of these that the reason for the\npre-image of some is really not like the others.\n\nNow that we're on C99 it perhaps make s no difference, but the pre-image\nhere is explicitly trying to avoid dynamic initializer elements, per\n442c27dde78 (CodingGuidelines: mention dynamic C99 initializer elements,\n2022-10-10).\n\nWell, partially, some of it appears to just be based on a\nmisunderstanding of how our own APIs work, i.e. the use of\noid_to_hex_r() over oid_to_hex().\n\n> diff --git a/builtin/am.c b/builtin/am.c\n>

I left some comments here and there,\nbut with/without a re-roll am happy to give this:\n\n\tReviewed-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason \n\nI think I would have just gone for this in the first place, but thought\nthat people loved the convenience functions too much. It can be hard to\njudge sentiments in advance :)\n\nOne reason I hadn't re-submitted something is that there were\noutstanding new conflicts with \"seen\", and I see from applying this\ntopic & merging it that it conflicts somewhat heavily. Junio seems to be\non-board with this though, so maybe he won't mind.\n\nI didn't see any glaring instances where this made things worse, so\nmaybe we didn't need these convenience wrappers in the first place.\n\nBut from the earlier discussion it does seema bit like we tossed the\nvery notion out because some didn't like the duplicating of struct\nmembers with the flags (which I also doen't like).\n\nSo I came up with the below experiment on top, it's not an attempt to\nconvert all callers, just a demo.\n\nMaybe you think some ideas here are worth using, I probably won't pursue\nit (but maybe as ideas for some other future API).\n\nIt's a combination of stuff, some of which you might like, some not,\nnamely:\n\n- Have the API work the same way, but just have a run_commandl(&opt,\n ...) in addition to the run_command(). It's just a trivial wrapper to\n push stuff into &cmd.args for you.\n\n- I saw a few callers that could have perhaps used a similarly trivial\n run_commandv(), but that doesn't benefit from LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL,\n so I didn't bother.\n\n- I wish C had a nicer syntax for not just declaring but squashing\n together compile_time bracketed lists (think set operations). But the\n below \"CHILD_PROCESS_INIT_LIST\" is a pretty good poor man's version.\n\n I see gcc/clang nicely give us safety rails for that with\n \"-Woverride-init\", for this sort of \"opts struct with internal stuff,\n but also user options\" I think it works out very nicely.\n\n- We have quite a few callers that want \"on error, die\", so maybe we\n should have something like that \"on_error\" sooner than later.\n\nOn clever (but perhaps overly clever) thing I didn't use, but played\nwith recently in another context, is that now with C99 you can also do:\n\n\tint run_commandl(struct child_process *cmd, ...);\n\t#define run_command(...) run_command_1(__VA_ARGS__, NULL)\n\nI.e. make the API itself support all of:\n\n\trun_command(&cmd);\n\trun_command(&cmd, \"reboot\");\n\trun_command(&cmd, \"reboot\", NULL);\n\nI haven't made up my mind on whether that's just overly clever, or\noutright insane :)\n\ndiff --git a/bisect.c b/bisect.c\nindex

But note that that\n\"error\" is emittted by thy \"#ifndef ...WINDOWS...\" part of the code. See\nalso the recent 255a6f91ae4 (t1800: correct test to handle Cygwin,\n2022-09-15).\n\nBut I suspect some of the \"die\" messaging is just boilerplate/legacy.\n\n> So for start_command(), would it be a generally useful to support a\n> scenario where upon failure\n>\n> - the program terminates,\n> - but before that prints a single message,\n> - which includes the command that could not be started\n\nIsn't this just the \"cannot spawn\"/\"cannot fork\" etc. messaging from\nstart_command() now?\n\n> - and some kind of hint why we tried to start it?\n>\n> For run_command() we'd need to distinguish between not being able to\n> run the command and getting an error code from it after a successful\n> start.\n\n*nod*, it would be nice if that messaging was portable.

I don't think any of these are worth a re-roll, but just to\nclarify in reply to the comment in the v2 CL:\n\n * I thought the C99-specific stuff, free() etc. might be worth\n splitting out[1], but not to the extent of churning through first\n moving the existing API use around, and then converting it to\n run_command().\n\n I.e. v1 had e.g. the am.c change as part of the large 3/8. Here\n there's 3/12, and we then re-visit that same caller in 12/12.\n\n I think that part of the v2 was better in v1. I.e. maybe split them\n out, but to the extent that it needs special explanation we could\n have just done it in one go with some explanation..\n\n * I suggested just squashing what's now the v2's 08-11/12 into the\n respective commits that represented the last API user, or if they're\n worth splitting out do split-out with that last API user converted\n (and also removing the run-commit.h flags that went unused then, if\n applicable).\n\nAnyway, LGTM, and the stuff that was odd in the end state (e.g. 02/12)\nis now fixed. Thanks both!\n\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/git/Y11%2F2hyApN5NLruq@nand.local/T/#md2b7af02b1af34fa118779d3e1f4444604f95cb9\n"}]}
