[PATCH 01/11] Introduce stream compress helpers

[PATCH 01/11] Introduce stream compress helpers

[Marco Costalba]

When decompressing a zlib stream use this
helpers instead of calling low level zlib
function.

This patch introduces the necessary framework,
still no code change.

This is the first step in generalizing compress and
decompress functions avoiding zlib directly calls.

[PATCH 02/11] Use new compress helpers in git files

[Marco Costalba]

These are the 'easy' ones, where a signgle step
compression is requested so that we can use only
one call to compress_all()

[PATCH 03/11] Use new compress helpers in fast-import

[Marco Costalba]

Here is slightly more difficult, in particular
a xrealloc() has been substituted with a
free() + xmalloc() to keep the code simple.

[PATCH 07/11] Introduce stream decompress helpers

[Marco Costalba]

Decompressing turns out to be more difficult then
comrpessing.

Helpers are more because more are the way
zlib deflate() is used in git.

This patch just introduces the helpers,
still no code change.

[PATCH 08/11] Use new decompress_all() helper in git

[Marco Costalba]

Only in two places is possible to really simplify
deflate code with the all_in_one decompress_all()

[PATCH 09/11] Convert http-push.c and http-walker.c

[Marco Costalba]

Conversion for both files is very similar
and in both cases I have added a FIXME where
I would have added an additional decompress_free()

The corresponding deflateEnd() call is not present in
the original code, so I left the line commented out.

[PATCH 10/11] Convert builtin-pack/unpack

[Marco Costalba]

In this case decompression helper conversion is
quite similar and not too complex, so they go
togheter.

Also in index-pack.c pass correct arguments
to decompress_next_from().

[PATCH 11/11] Convert sha1_file.c to use decompress helpers

[Marco Costalba]

This is "The King".

It is the most difficult file to convert and some
decompression functions have been created just for it.

Anyhow the lines of code removed (45) far surpass the
ones added (26).

Why?  Your other changes (e.g. unpack_entry_data()::index-pack.c
in [08/11]) left the type of buf as it was, and I think the same
should be done here.

(Style) that's "void *tmp".

The input_len variable is changed as a side effect of calling
the fill() function.  Don't you have the same issue that you
handle with [10/11] here?

Re: [PATCH 07/11] Introduce stream decompress helpers

[Junio C Hamano]

Overall, everything looks quite nicely done.

The same comments as the compression side to "*_alloc()" apply.
Perhaps call them "setup" and "finalize" or something?

This is meant to be an improvement for [01/11] and I think
should be done from the beginning by squashing into it.

Haven't looked at the decompression side yet.  Help in reviewing
this series from others are appreciated.

Although the original does not bother to, the return value from
compress_next() should be checked in later rounds.

I'll let Shawn comment on this.  The realloc() does not seem to
be using the contents in the buffer from the previous round, so
I suspect that a free() followed by an independent alloc() would
be an improvement when the later call uses much larger buffer
than the previous one, but would be a waste if the later one
needs smaller buffer.

Junio is correct, that xrealloc isn't using the contents of the
buffer from the last round, which makes any memcpy it might do
internally due to movement to a larger buffer an utter waste.

In this new version we are probably always free'ing a buffer of a
much smaller size than we are then later allocating (or in the old
version xrealloc'ing to) because we are switching from a delta to
full content.  Its most likely the delta is way smaller, so I'd
guess the malloc implementation is mostly going to another buffer.
In short, Marco's change will most likely do better.

But this is all academic wanking.  We're talking about this xrealloc
(or free/xmalloc pair) happening only when we switch packfiles,
which in fast-import is usually every 4 GiB of output.  That's a
*lot* of data to write.  Who cares how many extra microseconds we
spend to perform this buffer change; we probably hit it only once
every 15-30 minutes, depending on how fast your system is able to
transfer 4 GiB of data out of the source and into a packfile.

This used to leave *compressed_size untouched upon deflate
failure but now it sets it to zero.  Is this change in behaviour
safe?

Your log message lines are wrapped a bit too short, while some
of the patch lines are too long.

This is not about "allocation", but about "setup".

This returns Z_OK unconditionally and most callers do not even
bother checking the return value.  Shouldn't this be of type
void?

Especially the use of this in if() conditional, after [06/11]
changes its use in compress_all(), looks quite ugly.

Eventually, this should check errors from deflateEnd() and
propagate that to the caller.
