From: Pranit Bauva Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 07:37:55 GMT Subject: [GSOC Update] Week 7 Message-ID: <20160620073755.2934-1-pranit.bauva@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20160613080656.5013-1-pranit.bauva@gmail.com> ================================= SUMMARY ================================== My public git.git is available here[1]. I regularly keep pushing my work so anyone interested can track me there. Feel free to participate in the discussions going on PRs with my mentors. Your comments are valuable. =============================== INTRODUCTION ============================== The purpose of this project is to convert the git-bisect utility which partly exists in the form of shell scripts to C code so as to make it more portable. I plan to do this by converting each function to C and then calling it from git-bisect.sh so as to use the existing test suite to test the function which is converted. Mentors: Christian Couder Lars Schneider ================================== Updates ================================= Things which were done in this week: * I have converted check_and_set_terms() and have also sent an RFC[2] to the mailing list for discussion which hasn't yet collected any comments. It is kind of important to discuss this as it uses a way to set the global variables in the script by writing it to a file and then reading it. * I have also converted bisect_next_check() but this has a bug which will soon be fixed. This is available here[3]. * I have converted get_terms(). * I am on my way to convert bisect_terms() which should probably finish by tomorrow. * I also send out a patch[4] which describes the return value of strbuf_read_file() and is queued on the pu branch. ================================= NEXT STEPS ================================ Things which would be done in the coming week: * Finish off bisect_terms(). * bisect_run(). * bisect_replay(). * I have my mid term evaluations this week. Hope I clear it successfully.
