Hmm.

Please understand that I will not review that unless it is split up into

It still modifies mingw.c and mingw.h, even if it has been strongly 
suggested to leave those alone.

It touches all kinds of files that appear to be completely unrelated to 
Microsoft Visual C++.

Remember: breaking things for existing users (and changing something that 
works for them quite well readily risks that) is not an option.

And the commit message does not even explain half of it...

Well, I try to improve.

So I had a look at your patch.  The changes fall naturally into one of the 
following categories:

	- decl-after-statement fixes

	- missing #include "git-compat-util.h"

	- converting a K&R style function definition to modern C

	- #undef's only needed for Microsoft Visual C++

	- the addition of O_BINARY in the file modes

	- disabling link() (why?)

	- double-#define'ing stat (which puzzles me greatly)

	- dummy #define'ing of a few compiler attributes

	- adding _MSVC to a conditional to avoid  #define'ing
	  SNPRINTF_SIZE_CORR yourself

	- #define'ing several symbols without leading underscore to the
	  MS-specific version with a leading underscore

	- implementing strcasecmp() in a misnamed file

	- "fixing" the return value of winansi_vfprintf for Microsoft 
	  Visual C++ (I think this fix is wrong)

	- correctly adding a Visual C++-specific conditional to 
	  git-compat-util.h, pager.c, run-command.c, run-command.h, 
	  setup.c and help.c, although the latter five could use some 
	  refactoring into git-compat-util.h

	  Maybe there is also room to change the MinGW-conditional into a
	  NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE one

	- adding several headers missing from Visual C++'s installation

	- adding _huge_ .vcproj files (can they not be smaller?)

As you can see, there is a pretty natural way to split that huge patch 
into chunks that most people on these lists can review easily, and that 
would actually be a pleasure to look at.

Even better, there are a few fixes (the first three, if you ask me), which 
are not even Windows-specific.

Further, I would like to suggest adding a header file compat/msvc.h which 
contains all the #undef's and #define's necessary only for Visual C++, and 
which can be #include'd from git-compat-util.h, to better separate your 
work from the other platforms (who do not want those changes).  That 
should avoid those unwanted changes to mingw.c and mingw.h.  You just have
to make sure that msvc.h is #include'd before mingw.h.

With these comments, I look forward to your next iteration.

Ciao,
Dscho

          #undef ERROR is necessary.
          #undef in mingw.h is only for clean some warning.

         VC report stack error. I also don't know why.
         I have not deep debug this problem.

          old define is
          #define stat    stati64
          #define stati64 msys_stati64.

          stat is used for both struct and function name.
         In C code:
              struct stat a;
         stat -> stati64 -> msys_stati64,  so compiler report struct
msys_stati64 have not defined.

           Do you means add
           #ifdef _MSC_VER
           #include git-compat-util.h
           #endif

           It is created by VS2008.  I think it is difficult to make smaller.

VC build will reuse msysgit work.
I will reduce change to mingw.c and mingw.h
But there are some problem at mingw.c and mingw.h

1. stat defination.  Because both struct and function use the same name stat.
2. open need binary mode.
3. mingw.c use C99 style to break build at VC.
4. mingw.c use special DIR structure, So I need add open_dir in mingw.c.

If I don't change mingw.c, I need copy it to new file totally.

Hi,

As Git _never_ wants to open files in text mode, this is a change that can 
come _separately_ from your VC patches.  It could even be considered a bug 
fix (MinGW's current GCC implies O_BINARY, but previous ones may not, and 
it is wrong of us to rely on this magic).

You should.  What with Visual Studio's superior debugging capabilities, it 
should not be a problem.  Right?

Not exactly.

	#define stat _stati64
	[...]
	#define _stati64(x,y) mingw_lstat(x,y)

And even VC should handle that just fine.

It is a real pity that you did not inline your patch, and that I could not 
quote it as a consequence, because now we could discuss code properly:

The original code was done on purpose as it is, to use the _stati64 struct 
(which allows long pointers, as Microsoft decided off_t was not good 
enough to represent 64 bit offsets).  I could imagine that your patch 
breaks that for Visual C++.

Is there not some magic to make a compact export version?

But maybe it is not that bad?  I have 72 (out of 1730) files in my 
repository that are larger, gitk being the king.

FWIW I would have loved it if _you_ defended the size of the file, instead 
of having to do it myself.

That is no question.  We made it easy for you.

That needs to be resolved somehow, and you would get _much_ more help if 
you had split your patch series properly and this was _one_ patch.

> 2. open need binary mode.

As I said, this can be a separate change.  In my original reply I 
_implied_ that it is okay, and in this reply I elaborated on that (namely 
that it might be considered a bug fix).

> 3. mingw.c use C99 style to break build at VC.

The same applies here as to O_BINARY.

> 4. mingw.c use special DIR structure, So I need add open_dir in mingw.c.

No, you do not need to add that to mingw.c.  MinGW does not need it.  So 
it has no place in mingw.c.

> If I don't change mingw.c, I need copy it to new file totally.

NOOOO!!!

You #include it after making sure that you have #undef'ed and #define'd 
whatever needs to, and in a separate file -- which is only referenced in 
the .vcproj -- you can implement whatever Visual C++ misses.

Please, please, PLEASE, do not quote things that you are not addressing.  
And please, please, PLEASE adher to Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Actually, the only thing SubmittingPatches does is spell out how to make 
things easier for reviewers, should you not know how to do so.

Remember: the more time it takes me to cull the quoted parts of your mail, 
the more time it takes me to have a look at your patches, the more time it 
takes me to refer to your patch and make suggestions, the more am I 
inclined to spend my time elsewhere, doing something that is much more 
enjoyable.

Ciao,
Dscho
