[PATCH 1/4] git-sh-i18n--envsubst: our own envsubst(1) for eval_gettext()

Message-ID: <1304856659-10672-2-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <1304856659-10672-1-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com>

Add a git-sh-i18n--envsubst program which is a stripped-down version of the GNU envsubst(1) program that comes with GNU gettext for use in the eval_gettext() fallback, instead of using a clever (but broken) printf + eval + printf trick.

In a previous incarnation of the gettext series I implemented the eval_gettext() fallback like this:

    eval_gettext() {
        gettext_out=$(gettext "$1")
        gettext_eval="printf '%s' \"$gettext_out\""
        printf "%s" "`eval \"$gettext_eval\"`"
    }

This was clever, but would incorrectly handle cases where the variable being interpolated contained spaces. E.g.:

    cmd="git foo"; eval_gettext "command: \$cmd"

Would emit "command: gitfoo", instead of the correct "command: git foo". This happened with a message in git-am.sh that used the $cmdline variable. An alternate version suggested by Junio is able to handle this case:

   eval_gettext() {
           gettext_out=$(gettext "$1") &&
           gettext_eval="printf '%s' \"$gettext_out\"" &&
           gettext_cmd=$(eval "$gettext_eval") &&
           printf "%s" "$gettext_cmd"
   }

But it strips out double-quotes when they're included in the message being passed to eval_gettext. E.g. the message in git-am.sh:

    "When you have resolved this problem run \"$cmdline --resolved\"."

Will be emitted as:

    When you have resolved this problem run git am --resolved.

Instead of the correct:

    When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".

To work around this, and to improve our variable expansion behavior (eval has security issues) I've imported a stripped-down version of gettext's envsubst(1) program. With it eval_gettext() is implemented like this:

    eval_gettext() {
        printf "%s" "$1" | (
            export PATH $(git sh-i18n--envsubst --variables "$1");
            git sh-i18n--envsubst "$1"
        )
    }

These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into sh-i18n--envsubst.c:

 * Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends.

 * Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers.

 * Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified
   version only does option parsing for --variables. That's all it
   needs.

 * Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of
   error(3).

 * Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just
   xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's.

 * Removed the string_list_destroy function. It's redundant (also in
   the upstream code).

 * Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following
   replacements on the code:

    * s/bool/unsigned short int/g
    * s/true/1/g
    * s/false/0/g

+========================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-sh-i18n--envsubst - Git's own envsubst(1) for i18n fallbacks
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This is not a command the end user would want to run.  Ever.
+This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
+plumbing scripts and/or are writing new ones.
+
+git-sh-i18n--envsubst is Git's stripped-down copy of the GNU
+`envsubst(1)` program that comes with the GNU gettext
+package. It's used internally by linkgit:git-sh-i18n[1] to
+provide the `eval_gettext` fallback on Solaris and systems
+that don't have a gettext implementation.
+
+No promises are made about the interface, or that this
+program won't disappear without warning in the next version
+of Git. Don't use it.
