Hi,

this is the second patch series on my quest to make the reftable library
become a standalone library again that can be used by libgit2 without
pulling in all kinds of dependencies from the Git codebase. This part
makes us lose the dependency on `struct strbuf`, which is done due to
three reasons:

  - To make us independent of libgit.a.

  - To ensure that we use the pluggable allocators that users can set up
    via `reftable_set_alloc()`.

  - To make it possible to handle memory allocation failures.

While this leads to some duplication, we're only talking about ~70 lines
of code.

Thanks!

Patrick

Patrick Steinhardt (10):
  reftable: stop using `strbuf_addbuf()`
  reftable: stop using `strbuf_addf()`
  reftable/basics: provide new `reftable_buf` interface
  reftable: convert from `strbuf` to `reftable_buf`
  reftable/blocksource: adapt interface name
  t/unit-tests: check for `reftable_buf` allocation errors
  reftable/stack: adapt `format_name()` to handle allocation failures
  reftable/record: adapt `reftable_record_key()` to handle allocation
    failures
  reftable/stack: adapt `stack_filename()` to handle allocation failures
  reftable: handle trivial `reftable_buf` errors

We're about to introduce our own `reftable_buf` type to replace
`strbuf`. Get rid of the seldomly-used `strbuf_addbuf()` function such
that we have to reimplement one less function.

Implement a new `reftable_buf` interface that will replace Git's own
`strbuf` interface. This is done due to three reasons:

  - The `strbuf` interfaces do not handle memory allocation failures and
    instead causes us to die. This is okay in the context of Git, but is
    not context of the reftable library, which is supposed to be usable
    by third-party applications.

  - The `strbuf` interface is quite deeply tied into Git, which makes it
    hard to use the reftable library as a standalone library. Any
    dependent would have to carefully extract the relevant parts of it
    to make things work, which is not all that sensible.

  - The `strbuf` interface does not use the pluggable allocators that
    can be set up via `refatble_set_alloc()`.

So we have good reasons to use our own type, and the implementation is
rather trivial. Implement our own type. Conversion of the reftable
library will be handled in subsequent commits.

From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2024-10-11  6:54 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Edward Thomson

Convert the reftable library to use the `reftable_buf` interface instead
of the `strbuf` interface. This is a mechanical change via sed(1) and
does not yet handle allocation failures. These will be addressed in
subsequent commits.

The `stack_filename()` function cannot pass any errors to the caller as it
has a `void` return type. Adapt it and its callers such that we can
handle errors and start handling allocation failures.

There are two interesting edge cases in `reftable_stack_destroy()` and
`reftable_addition_close()`. Both of these are trying to tear down their
respective structures, and while doing so they try to unlink some of the
tables they have been keeping alive. Any earlier attempts to do that may
fail on Windows because it keeps us from deleting such tables while they
are still open, and thus we re-try on close. It's okay and even expected
that this can fail when the tables are still open by another process, so
we handle the allocation failures gracefully and just skip over any file
whose name we couldn't figure out.

However here it is different, since we still use the strbuf. I guess it
should be okay, since 'buf' is initialized using 'STRBUF_INIT' and that
still keeps the buf.len to 0.

So when we do 'strbuf_addstr(&buf, ...)' it should allocate the required
memory. But the reset removal did catch my eye.

Nit: would be nice to have some comments explaining the functions here.
I know most of them are self-explanatory and similar to strbuf, but
since this is supposed to be isolated, it would be nice.

Nit: Would be nice to list the sed command used here, so reviewers can
review that instead.

I only have a few small comments, but overall this series looks good.

Hi,

this is the second part of my patch series that stop using `struct
strbuf` in the reftable library. This is done such that the reftable
library becomes standalone again and so that we can use the pluggable
allocators part of the library.

Changes compared to v1:

  - Point out a while-at-it refactoring when getting rid of
    `strbuf_addf()`.

  - Fix grammar issue in another commit message.

  - Use REFTABLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY_ERROR error codes on allocation failure.

  - Add documentation for `struct reftable_buf` functions.

  - Clarify that the conversion to use the new interface is not wholly
    mechanical via sed(1).

Thanks!

Patrick

We're about to introduce our own `reftable_buf` type to replace
`strbuf`. Get rid of the seldomly-used `strbuf_addbuf()` function such
that we have to reimplement one less function.

We're about to introduce our own `reftable_buf` type to replace
`strbuf`. Get rid of the seldomly-used `strbuf_addf()` function such
that we have to reimplement one less function.

While at it, remove a useless call to `strbuf_reset()` in
`t_reftable_stack_auto_compaction_with_locked_tables()`. We don't write
to the buffer before this and initialize it with `STRBUF_INIT`, so there
is no need to reset anything.

Implement a new `reftable_buf` interface that will replace Git's own
`strbuf` interface. This is done due to three reasons:

  - The `strbuf` interfaces do not handle memory allocation failures and
    instead causes us to die. This is okay in the context of Git, but is
    not in the context of the reftable library, which is supposed to be
    usable by third-party applications.

  - The `strbuf` interface is quite deeply tied into Git, which makes it
    hard to use the reftable library as a standalone library. Any
    dependent would have to carefully extract the relevant parts of it
    to make things work, which is not all that sensible.

  - The `strbuf` interface does not use the pluggable allocators that
    can be set up via `refatble_set_alloc()`.

So we have good reasons to use our own type, and the implementation is
rather trivial. Implement our own type. Conversion of the reftable
library will be handled in subsequent commits.

Convert the reftable library to use the `reftable_buf` interface instead
of the `strbuf` interface. This is mostly a mechanical change via sed(1)
with some manual fixes where functions for `strbuf` and `reftable_buf`
differ. The converted code does not yet handle allocation failures. This
will be handled in subsequent commits.

has a `void` return type. Adapt it and its callers such that we can
handle errors and start handling allocation failures.

The `reftable_record_key()` function cannot pass any errors to the
caller as it has a `void` return type. Adapt it and its callers such
that we can handle errors and start handling allocation failures.

The `stack_filename()` function cannot pass any errors to the caller as it
has a `void` return type. Adapt it and its callers such that we can
handle errors and start handling allocation failures.

There are two interesting edge cases in `reftable_stack_destroy()` and
`reftable_addition_close()`. Both of these are trying to tear down their
respective structures, and while doing so they try to unlink some of the
tables they have been keeping alive. Any earlier attempts to do that may
fail on Windows because it keeps us from deleting such tables while they
are still open, and thus we re-try on close. It's okay and even expected
that this can fail when the tables are still open by another process, so
we handle the allocation failures gracefully and just skip over any file
whose name we couldn't figure out.

Yeah, I removed it while at it as it is completely unnecessary. I've
updated the commit message to point this out.

Fair enough. I was being lazy here because the code is internal, only.
But that's not really a good excuse, I guess.

Well, it's basically a lie anyway that this uses sed(1), only. Some of
the functions are different between strbuf and reftable_buf, and I was
too lazy to craft an sed invocation for that.

I'll adapt the message a bit to say that this is mostly using sed, but
not really, without going into too many details.

OK, this makes sense. FWIW, it feels like this would have been an easy
function to port over to the new 'reftable_buf' type. But I understand
wanting to implement fewer functions if possible.

Hmm. I count twelve calls to strbuf_addf() here in this patch that were
rewritten in terms of snprintf()ing to a temporary buffer. So I am not
sure that I agree that it is "seldomly-used".

Sure, implementing fewer functions is nice, but I am not sure that
forcing the caller to use snprintf() directly is necessarily a
worthwhile trade-off.

Part of me wishes that we didn't have to write our own `reftable_buf` in
the first place. Could we use `strbuf` as-is and expose it through a
generic reftable-specific interface that users of reftable fill in with
a vtable or something?

Thanks,
Taylor

It's an awfully long patch, but was relatively easy to skim visually.

The conversion to store the return value of 'format_name()' here makes
sense. I was going to ask why this call to reftable_buf_addstr() does
not have its own return value checked similarly, but I see that it is
handled specially a few commits later on.

I think that what you wrote here is fine, but there are a couple of
alternatives IMHO that may be worth considering in the future:

  - You could do these conversions function by function, where each
    patch handles all potential allocation failures.

    This generates more patches, but makes each individual patch a
    little easier to review in isolation, since the reviewer does not
    have to page in and out the context of what different functions do,
    etc.

  - Alternatively, you could mention something along the lines of "this
    step does not make any of these functions entirely resilient against
    allocation failures, but future commits will address the remaining
    components" to avoid temporary confusion on the reader's part
    wondering why only part of the code appears to handle allocation
    failures.

Thanks,
Taylor

I reviewed this round, and it looks generally good to me. I feel
somewhat unhappy to have to force the reftable backend to implement its
own strbuf-like functionality.

So I think it may be worth considering whether or not we can reuse Git's
strbuf implementation through a vtable or similar. But it may not be
immediately possible since that implementation just die()s on error,
can't easily swap out the allocator, etc. So perhaps this is the best
path forward, it just feels somewhat unsatisfying to me.

It's not perfect, I agree. I initially tried to do something like a
vtable or to even compile this into code with something like a wrapper
structure. But that approach in the end fell flat. So I decided to be
pragmatic about this whole issue and just duplicate some code --
overall, we are talking about ~200 lines of code to completely detangle
the reftable library from libgit.a.

For what it's worth, I also had this discussion with Junio in [1], in
which we ultimately agreed that this is probably the best way forward.

Another problem here is that snprintf() isn't exactly the most portable
interface. Some systems don't have it at all, others have broken return
code handling. So avoiding it completely makes that issue go away
entirely.

I can add that to the commit message if this needs a reroll.

I tried that, and it felt way worse. The amount of code you have to
write is roughly in the same ballpark, you don't have pluggable
allocators, you don't have allocation error handling and every consumer
would have to implement their own type.

So overall it's only losses from my point of view.

Only that it emulates `strbuf_add()`, which also uses a void pointer.

The reason for that is because strbuf is a generic byte-array which
may contain embedded NULs, and the `const void *` plus `len`
emphasizes this property, whereas `const char *` would imply a
C-string with no embedded NULs.

(strbuf also happens to ensure that the contained byte-array ends with
NUL so that the .buf member can be used safely with any function
accepting a C-string, but that is a convenience for the common case
when it does not contain embedded NULs, not a promise that there won't
be embedded NULs, hence `const void *` rather than `cont char *`.)

I have read some patches yesterday, I feel quite strange that we need to
make repetition. Could we provide a header file which requires the users
who need to use the reftable library to implement the interfaces?

    reftable_strbuf_addf(void *buf, char *fmt, va_list ap);

Thus, we could reuse "strbuf_addf" to implement this interface in Git.
As for libgit2, could we let it implement these interfaces? Although I
have never read the source code of libgit2, I think there should be some
code which could be reuse to implement these interfaces?

However, I do not know the context. Maybe the above is totally wrong. If
so, please ignore.

Thanks,

The thing is that we'll have repetition regardless of what we end up
doing:

  - We could either have repetition once in the reftable library,
    reimplementing `struct strbuf`. This can then be reused by every
    single user of the reftable library.

  - Or we can have repetition for every single user of the reftable
    library. For now that'd only be Git and libgit2, but we'd still have
    repetition.

The second kind of repetition is way worse though, because now every
user of the reftable library has a different implementation of a type
that is as basic as a buffer. These _must_ behave the exact same across
implementations or we will hit issues. So I'd rather have the repetition
a single time in the reftable library such that all users of the library
will behave the same rather than having downstream users copy the
implementation of `struct strbuf` and making it work for their library.

Also, due to the nature of `struct strbuf` not allowing for allocation
failures we'd already have diverging behaviour. In Git you would never
hit error code paths for allocation failures, whereas every library user
potentially can.

So we really have to treat the reftable code base special. If we want to
be a good citizen and be a proper upstream for projects like libgit2 we
don't really have much of a choice than to detangle it from libgit.a. If
we don't we may be saving 20 lines of code, but we make everybody elses
life harder.

Yes. I agree with you it is worse to let every downstream to implement
the interfaces. I know the motivation here, we want to make the whole
reftable library be independent of the Git which allows the downstream
to easily use the reftable library.

Yes. And I do not think this is a problem right now. Thanks for this

Makes sense, although the end result is somewhat unsatisfying.

Thanks, that was the explanation I was missing. Perhaps it is worth
re-stating in the commit message here to avoid confusing readers like I
was when I first read Patrick's patch ;-).

Does it make sense to explicitly state how the interfaces look like
though? I don't do that for the other functions either, and for most of
the part I just reuse the exact same function arguments as we had with
the strbuf interface.

I don't feel very strongly about it, but I had suggested it because my
initial read of this patch confused me, and I had wondered if others may
be similarly confused.

For what it's worth, I was thinking something on the order of the
following added to the patch message:

    Note that the reftable_buf_add() function intentionally takes a "const
    void *" instead of a "const char *" (as does its strbuf counterpart,
    strbuf_add()) to emphasize that the buffer may contain NUL characters.

But, as I said, I don't feel very strongly about it.

Thanks,
Taylor

Hi,

this is the third version of my patch series that removes use of `struct
strbuf` in the reftable library. The intent of this is to convert the
reftable library back into a standalone library that can be used in the
context of libgit2.

Changes compared to v2:

  - Provide more context around why we get rid of `stbuf_addf()`.

  - Fix a commit message type.

  - Provide better docs for `reftable_buf_add()`.

Thanks!

Patrick

We're about to introduce our own `reftable_buf` type to replace
`strbuf`. Get rid of the seldomly-used `strbuf_addbuf()` function such
that we have to reimplement one less function.

  To: git; +Cc: Edward Thomson, karthik nayak, Taylor Blau, shejialuo

We're about to introduce our own `reftable_buf` type to replace
`strbuf`. One function we'll have to convert is `strbuf_addf()`, which
is used in a handful of places. This function uses `snprintf()`
internally, which makes porting it a bit more involved:

  - It is not available on all platforms.

  - Some platforms like Windows have broken implementations.

So by using `snprintf()` we'd also push the burden on downstream users
of the reftable library to make available a properly working version of
it.

Most callsites of `strbuf_addf()` are trivial to convert to not using
it. We do end up using `snprintf()` in our unit tests, but that isn't
much of a problem for downstream users of the reftable library.

While at it, remove a useless call to `strbuf_reset()` in
`t_reftable_stack_auto_compaction_with_locked_tables()`. We don't write
to the buffer before this and initialize it with `STRBUF_INIT`, so there
is no need to reset anything.

Implement a new `reftable_buf` interface that will replace Git's own
`strbuf` interface. This is done due to three reasons:

  - The `strbuf` interfaces do not handle memory allocation failures and
    instead causes us to die. This is okay in the context of Git, but is
    not in the context of the reftable library, which is supposed to be
    usable by third-party applications.

  - The `strbuf` interface is quite deeply tied into Git, which makes it
    hard to use the reftable library as a standalone library. Any
    dependent would have to carefully extract the relevant parts of it
    to make things work, which is not all that sensible.

  - The `strbuf` interface does not use the pluggable allocators that
    can be set up via `reftable_set_alloc()`.

So we have good reasons to use our own type, and the implementation is
rather trivial. Implement our own type. Conversion of the reftable
library will be handled in subsequent commits.

                     ` (6 subsequent siblings)
  10 siblings, 0 replies; 63+ messages in thread
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2024-10-17  4:53 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Edward Thomson, karthik nayak, Taylor Blau, shejialuo

Convert the reftable library to use the `reftable_buf` interface instead
of the `strbuf` interface. This is mostly a mechanical change via sed(1)
with some manual fixes where functions for `strbuf` and `reftable_buf`
differ. The converted code does not yet handle allocation failures. This
will be handled in subsequent commits.

The `stack_filename()` function cannot pass any errors to the caller as it
has a `void` return type. Adapt it and its callers such that we can
handle errors and start handling allocation failures.

There are two interesting edge cases in `reftable_stack_destroy()` and
`reftable_addition_close()`. Both of these are trying to tear down their
respective structures, and while doing so they try to unlink some of the
tables they have been keeping alive. Any earlier attempts to do that may
fail on Windows because it keeps us from deleting such tables while they
are still open, and thus we re-try on close. It's okay and even expected
that this can fail when the tables are still open by another process, so
we handle the allocation failures gracefully and just skip over any file
whose name we couldn't figure out.
