Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] commit-reach: introduce struct paint_state with per-side counters
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:14:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f24edd45f0af1da64513164d5d720fe70c1decff.1782303254.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2149.v2.git.1782303254.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com>

Add a paint_state struct for use by paint_down_to_common() that
wraps a prio_queue with per-side commit counters. Each non-stale
queued commit occupies exactly one counter bucket based on its
paint flags: PARENT1-only, PARENT2-only, or both sides (a pending
merge-base candidate).

The counters are maintained by paint_count_update() which adjusts
the appropriate bucket by a signed delta. An exhaustive switch on
the paint+stale bits documents all valid flag combinations in one
place.

Convert paint_down_to_common() to use paint_state. The loop now
drains the queue via paint_queue_get() which returns NULL when all
counters reach zero, replacing the old pointer-based termination
(max_nonstale). This is equivalent behavior -- both conditions
detect that no non-stale entries remain.

The existing nonstale_queue is left in place for ahead_behind().

Step counts (via trace2 from the previous commit) are identical
before and after this refactoring, confirming no behavioral change.

-The walk uses a `nonstale_queue` wrapper around `prio_queue` that

+The walk tracks the number of commits of each type in the queue

   1. The queue is empty.
-  2. `max_nonstale` has been dequeued, meaning the queue only contains
