From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:28:19 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Generalized "string function" syntax Message-ID: <1255681702-5215-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com> I mentioned an idea to enhance the pretty=format language with a string function syntax that people can extend by adding new functions in one of the "What's cooking" messages earlier. The general syntax would be like %[function(args...)any string here%] where "any string here" part would have the usual pretty=format strings. E.g. git show -s --format='%{w(72,8,4)%s%+b%]' should give you a line wrapped commit log message if w(width,in1,in2) is such a function. This series is a proof of concept, as I didn't actually plug the "wrapping" code into it; it would be fairly straightforward to integrate the logic Dscho made strbuf capable in js/log-wrap series (queued in 'pu') to finish this. Junio C Hamano (3): format_commit_message(): fix function signature strbuf_nested_expand(): allow expansion to interrupt in the middle Add proof-of-concept %[w(width,in1,in2)<>%] implementation commit.h | 2 +- pretty.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- strbuf.c | 23 +++++++++++++--- strbuf.h | 3 +- 4 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
