Once upon a time we had problems with taking a function pointer of strcasecmp (to use as a comparator with string_list), so I wondered if that might be part of why it's defined the way it is. But the current definition is already inline: > - > -static __inline int strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2) > -{ > - int size1 = strlen(s1); > - int sisz2 = strlen(s2); > - return _strnicmp(s1, s2, sisz2 > size1 ? sisz2 : size1); > -} > +#define strcasecmp _stricmp And it seems we worked around this in de2f95ebed (mailmap: work around implementations with pure inline strcasecmp, 2013-09-12). So I don't think there is any blocker there. (Though of course I have no idea on other portability questions around _stricmp(); I'll leave that for Windows folks). -Peff ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2018-11-19 02:02 Subject: Re: [PATCH] msvc: Directly use MS version (_stricmp) of strcasecmp Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqk1l9esey.fsf%40gitster-ct.c.googlers.com In-Reply-To: <20181118215820.GA14514@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Jeff King writes: > And it seems we worked around this in de2f95ebed (mailmap: work around > implementations with pure inline strcasecmp, 2013-09-12).

As to the placement for the replacement #define, the patch puts it where the inline version was, but I would think it would work better if it were in the block of #defines, immediately next to #define strncasecmp above. . ``` ## Sven Strickroth, 2018-11-19 15:14 Subject: [PATCH] msvc: Directly use MS version (_stricmp) of strcasecmp Message-ID: <15a7df69-25d8-c168-dd43-a43b7f0d34c1@cs-ware.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/15a7df69-25d8-c168-dd43-a43b7f0d34c1%40cs-ware.de In-Reply-To: ``` This also removes an implicit conversion from size_t (unsigned) to int (signed). _stricmp as well as _strnicmp are both available since VS2012.

The substition from ftello with _ftelli64 does not appear in our codebase yet, but it was easy enough to adjust the patch myself, so no need to resend this patch. > diff --git a/compat/msvc.h b/compat/msvc.h > index e6e1a6bbf7..2d558bae14 100644 > --- a/compat/msvc.h > +++ b/compat/msvc.h > @@ -14,18 +14,12 @@ > #define inline __inline > #define __inline__ __inline > #define __attribute__(x) > +#define strcasecmp _stricmp > #define strncasecmp _strnicmp > #define ftruncate _chsize > #define strtoull _strtoui64 > #define strtoll _strtoi64 > > -static __inline int strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2) > -{ > - int size1 = strlen(s1); > - int sisz2 = strlen(s2); > - return _strnicmp(s1, s2, sisz2 > size1 ? sisz2 : size1); > -} > - > #undef ERROR > > #define ftello _ftelli64 ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2018-11-20 20:52 Subject: Re: [PATCH] msvc: Directly use MS version (_stricmp) of strcasecmp Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1811202144390.41%40tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Junio, On Tue, 20 Nov 2018, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Sven Strickroth writes: > > > This also removes an implicit conversion from size_t (unsigned) to int (signed). > > > > _stricmp as well as _strnicmp are both available since VS2012.

Indeed, that is only in Git for Windows' code base yet, AFAICT. For the record: I am currently holding off from contributing those patches (I am talking about the patch series to make Git compile with MS Visual C++ on the command line, followed by the patch series to generate project definitions ready for use with MS Visual Studio) because of the feature freeze. I had hoped to be able to contribute them sooner, but it took Jeff Hostetler and myself a combined gargantuan effort to reorder and disentangle Git for Windows' branch thicket so that those patches apply cleanly on top of git.git's `master`. Happily, almost all of the prerequisites made it upstream (e.g. the nanosecond support for Windows, the patches to require Windows Vista or later, the patch to use CreateHardLink() directly, etc). By my counting, only two, relatively small patch series are left, and both are already under discussion (but on hold, due to the code freeze). For interested parties: the current shape of the `visual-studio` patch series can be seen here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/581eb5441089%5E...581eb5441089%5E2 and the current shape of the `msvc` patch series can be seen here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/e9e7bd2a2485%5E...e9e7bd2a2485%5E2 Ciao, Dscho > > > diff --git a/compat/msvc.h b/compat/msvc.h > > index e6e1a6bbf7..2d558bae14 100644 > > --- a/compat/msvc.h > > +++ b/compat/msvc.h > > @@ -14,18 +14,12 @@ > > #define inline __inline > > #define __inline__ __inline > > #define __attribute__(x) > > +#define strcasecmp _stricmp > > #define strncasecmp _strnicmp > > #define ftruncate _chsize > > #define strtoull _strtoui64 > > #define strtoll _strtoi64 > > > > -static __inline int strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2) > > -{ > > - int size1 = strlen(s1); > > - int sisz2 = strlen(s2); > > - return _strnicmp(s1, s2, sisz2 > size1 ? sisz2 : size1); > > -} > > - > > #undef ERROR > > > > #define ftello _ftelli64 > ```
