Please comment on my naive idea.
When I try to use git in python, there are no fancy ways not to fork any processes. (except not active git library) I know it is design policy of git, one job for one process.
Anyhow, I need to call git in python and perl, so I try to think.
I assumed that
1. all cmd_*() is designed in a process basis,
so it is ok to free all memories which invoked after calling cmd_*()
2. result of cmd_*() is output only
so parse it in order to use in script language
right before call cmd_*() -> redirect stdout to anything3. 'die()' can be escaped by using "setjmp/longjmp"
4. actually I need only cmd_*() or little low level functions from script here is snippets of naive pseudo codes
------------------------------------------------------------ # will be called from the python/perl code ------------------------------------------------------------
lib_git_do() { if ( setjmp( exterend here ) ) {
start_trace()
cmd_do()
stop_trace()
} else {
# called from die (from longjmp)
return error occured
}
return parse_do();
}------------------------------------------------------------
start_trace() {
init_mem()
start_malloc_trace()
start_stdout_trace()
}stop_trace() {
stop_stdout_trace()
stop_malloc_trace()clean_mem() }
start_malloc_trace() {
hook __malloc_hook
hook __realloc_hook
hook __free_hook
}malloc_hook( size ) {
void * rtn = malloc( size )
if ( rtn ) {
add_to_mem_record( thread_id, rtn )
}
}free_hook( ptr ) {
if ( free( ptr ) ) {
del_mem_record( thread_id, ptr )
}
}clean_mem() {
for_each ( mem_records )
free( ptr )
}
------------------------------------------------------------pros 0. easy to implement 1. guarantee thread safety 2. no memory leak 3. not depend on git source 4. able to take advantage of script codes, no forking overhead
cons 0. not fancy 1. need dumb parsing 2. just temporary solution
but, I want to use it in review board or track like system, right now.
If there are any other good suggestions or recommendations on it, please recommend it.
Best regards
