Our current minimum CMake version is 2.8. This version does not yet allow us to use object libraries (introduced in 2.8.8) and target include directories (introduced in 2.8.12), which are both mechanisms we want to use to fix some specific problems. We previously were not able to bump our CMake version to a version supporting object libraries because Ubuntu Precise only had CMake version 2.8.7 in its repositories. But due to Precise being end of life now, we shouldn't need to honor it anymore. A current survey of some of the more conservative distributions brings up the following versions of CMake: - CentOS 5: 2.6.2 - CentOS 6: 2.8.12.2 - Debian 7: 2.8.11 - Fedora 23: 3.3.2 - OpenSUSE 13.2: 3.0.2 - Ubuntu Precise: 2.8.7 - Ubuntu Trusty: 2.8.12 The only two outliers here are CentOS 5 and Ubuntu Precise. CentOS is currently unsupported due to our minimum version being 2.8 and Ubuntu Precise is not maintained anymore. So the next smallest version supported by all major distributions is 2.8.11. While this does not yet support target include directories, it at least enables us to use object libraries. So this becomes our new minimum required version.

Distinguish variables keeping track of our internal libgit2 sources and the final objects which shall be linked into the library. This will ease the transition to use object libraries for our bundled dependencies instead of linking them in.

Ubuntu Precise is end of life since April 2017. At that point in time, Precise was still the main distro on which Travis CI built upon, with the Trusty-based images still being in a beta state. But since June 21st, Trusty has officially moved out of beta and is now the default image for all new builds. Right now, we build on both old and new images to assure we support both. Unfortunately, this leaves us with the highest minimum version for CMake being 2.8.7, as Precise has no greater version in its repositories. And because of this limitation, we cannot actually use object libraries in our build instructions. But considering Precise is end of life and Trusty is now the new default for Travis, we can and should drop support for this old and unmaintained distribution. And so we do.

Fix AppVeyor build failures due to CRTDBG linking issue
Edward Thomson committed -
In order to cover a wider range of build environments, add two more jobs which build and test libgit2 on Visual Studio 14 2015.
Patrick Steinhardt committed -
AppVeyor currently does provide three standard build worker images with VS2013, VS2015 and VS2017. Right now, we are using the implicitly, which is the VS2015 one. We want to be more explicit about this, so that we can easily switch build images based on the job. So starting from this commit, we explicitly set the `APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE` variable per job, which enables us to choose different images. To be able to test a wider range of build configurations, this commit also switches the jobs for VC2010 over to use the older, VS2013 based images. As the next commit will introduce two new jobs for building with VS2015, we have then covered both build environments. Also, let us be a bit more explicit regarding the CMake generator. Instead of only saying "Visual Studio 10", use the more descriptive value "Visual Studio 10 2010" to at least avoid some confusion surrounding the versioning scheme of Visual Studio.

When the MSVC_CRTDBG option is set by the developer, we will link in the dbghelper library to enable memory lead detection in MSVC projects. We are doing so by adding it to the variable `CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES`, so that it is linked for every library and executable built by CMake. But this causes our builds to fail with a linker error: ``` LINK: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'advapi32.lib;Dbghelp.lib' ``` The issue here is that we are treating the variable as if it were an array of libraries by setting it via the following command: ``` SET(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES "${CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES}" "Dbghelp.lib") ``` The generated build commands will then simply stringify the variable, concatenating all the contained libraries with a ";". This causes the observed linking failure. To fix the issue, we should just treat the variabable as a simple string. So instead of adding multiple members, we just add the "Dbghelp.lib" library to the existing string, separated by a space character.

After initializing the hash context in `git_diff_patchid`, we never proceed to call `git_hash_ctx_cleanup` on it. While this doesn't really matter on most hash implementations, this causes a memory leak on Win32 due to CNG system requiring a `malloc` call. Fix the memory leak by always calling `git_hash_ctx_cleanup` before exiting.

By default, both ar(1) and ranlib(1) will insert additional information like timestamps into generated static archives and indices. As a consequence, generated static archives are not deterministic when created with default parameters. Both programs do support a deterministic mode, which will simply zero out undeterministic information with `ar D` and `ranlib -D`. Unfortunately, CMake does not provide an easy knob to add these command line parameters. Instead, we have to redefine the complete command definitons stored in the variables CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_CREATE, CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_APPEND and CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_FINISH. Introduce a new build option `ENABLE_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILDS`. This option is available on Unix-like systems with the exception of macOS, which does not have support for the required flags. If the option is being enabled, we add those flags to the invocation of both `ar` and `ranlib` to enable deterministically building the static archive.

features.h: allow building without CMake-generated feature header
Edward Thomson committed -
In commit a390a846 (cmake: move defines into "features.h" header, 2017-07-01), we have introduced a new "features.h" header. This file is being generated by the CMake build system based on how the libgit2 build has been configured, replacing the preexisting method of simply setting the defines inside of the CMake build system. This was done to help splitting up the build instructions into multiple separate subdirectories. An overlooked shortcoming of this approach is that some projects making use of libgit2 build the library with custom build systems, without making use of CMake. For those users, the introduction of the "features.h" file makes their life harder as they would have to also generate this file. Fix this issue by guarding all inclusions of the generated header file by the `LIBGIT2_NO_FEATURES_H` define. Like this, other build systems can skip the feature header and simply define all used features by specifying `-D` flags for the compiler again.

If fetch_spec was a non-pattern, and it is not the first iteration of push_status vector, then git_refspec_transform would result in the new value appended via git_buf_puts to the previous iteration value. Forcibly clearing the buffer on each iteration to prevent this behavior.

The script "generate.py" is used to parse all test source files for unit tests. These are then written into a "clar.suite" file, which can be included by the main test executable to make available all test suites and unit tests. Our current algorithm simply collects all test suites inside of a dict, iterates through its items and dumps them in a special format into the file. As the order is not guaranteed to be deterministic for Python dictionaries, this may result in arbitrarily ordered C structs. This obviously defeats the purpose of reproducible builds, where the same input should always result in the exact same output. Fix this issue by sorting the test suites by name previous to dumping them as structs. This enables reproducible builds for the libgit2_clar file.

Fix negative ignore rules with patterns

Submodules with bare repo
Edward Thomson committed -
-Werror builds for Travis
Edward Thomson committed -
While it is technically possible to look up submodules inside of a bare repository by reading the submodule configuration of a specific commit, we do not offer this functionality right now. As such, calling both `git_submodule_lookup` and `git_submodule_foreach` should error out early when these functions encounter a bare repository. While `git_submodule_lookup` already does return an error due to not being able to parse the configuration, `git_submodule_foreach` simply returns success and never invokes the callback function. Fix the issue by having both functions check whether the repository is bare and returning an error in that case.

The testcase "submodule::lookup::cached" was declared with a single underscore separating the test suide and test name, only. As the clar parser only catches tests with two underscores, it was never executed. Add in the second underscore to actually have it detected and executed.

When computing negative ignores, we throw away any rule which does not undo a previous rule to optimize. But on case insensitive file systems, we need to keep in mind that a negative ignore can also undo a previous rule with different case, which we did not yet honor while determining whether a rule undoes a previous one. So in the following example, we fail to unignore the "/Case" directory: /case !/Case Make both paths checking whether a plain- or wildcard-based rule undo a previous rule aware of case-insensitivity. This fixes the described issue.

Ignore rules allow for reverting a previously ignored rule by prefixing it with an exclamation mark. As such, a negative rule can only override previously ignored files. While computing all ignore patterns, we try to use this fact to optimize away some negative rules which do not override any previous patterns, as they won't change the outcome anyway. In some cases, though, this optimization causes us to get the actual ignores wrong for some files. This may happen whenever the pattern contains a wildcard, as we are unable to reason about whether a pattern overrides a previous pattern in a sane way. This happens for example in the case where a gitignore file contains "*.c" and "!src/*.c", where we wouldn't un-ignore files inside of the "src/" subdirectory. In this case, the first solution coming to mind may be to just strip the "src/" prefix and simply compare the basenames. While that would work here, it would stop working as soon as the basename pattern itself is different, like for example with "*x.c" and "!src/*.c. As such, we settle for the easier fix of just not optimizing away rules that contain a wildcard.

One of our goals is to have our code free of any warnings. Due to the recent switch to Ubuntu 14.04 on Travis, the last warning regarding some preprocessor-magic in the curl-headers has been fixed and as such, the goal of zero warnings is now reached for Travis CI. In order to avoid introducing new warnings via pull requests, we can now enable building with `-Werror` and turn compiler warnings into errors instead, causing the CI jobs to fail. This build does so by passing the newly introdcued `-DENABLE_WERROR` flag to CMake for all Travis jobs.
Patrick Steinhardt committed -
Add a simple switch to enable building with "-Werror=<warning>" instead of "-W<warning". Due to the encapsulated `ENABLE_WARNINGS` macro, this is as simple as adding a new variable "ENABLE_WERROR`, which can be passed on the command line via `-DENABLE_WERROR=ON`. The variable defaults to NO to not bother developers in their day to day work.
Patrick Steinhardt committed -
There are multiple sites where we enable or disable compiler warning via "-W<warning>" or "-Wno-<warning>". As we want to extend this mechanism later on to conditionally switch these over to "-Werror=<warning>", we encapsulate the logic into its their own macros `ENABLE_WARNINGS` and `DISABLE_WARNINGS`. Note that we in fact have to use a macro here. Using a function would not modify the CFLAGS inside of the callers scope, but in the function's scope only.

Split up CMakeLists.txt build instructions

As observed by Edward Thomson, the libgit2 DLL built by Windows will not end up in the top-level build directory but instead inside of the 'src/' subdirectory. While confusing at first because we are actually setting the LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to the project's binary directory, the manual page of LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY clears this up: There are three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, library, and runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime targets. Static libraries are always treated as archive targets. Module libraries are always treated as library targets. For non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as library targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library is treated as an archive target. All Windows-based systems including Cygwin are DLL platforms. So in fact, DLLs and import libraries are not treated as libraries at all by CMake but instead as runtime and archive targets. To fix the issue, we can thus simply set the variables RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to the project's root binary directory.

With c26ce784 (Merge branch 'AndreyG/cmake/modernization', 2017-06-28), we have recently introduced a regression in the way we are searching for headers. We have made sure to always include our own headers first, but due to the changes in c26ce784 this is no longer guaranteed. In fact, this already leads the compiler into picking "config.h" from the "deps/regex" dependency, if it is used. Fix the issue by declaring our internal include directories up front, before any of the other search directories is added.
Patrick Steinhardt committed -
To fix leaking build instructions into different targets and to make the build instructions easier to handle, create a new CMakeLists.txt file containing build instructions for the libgit2 target. By now, the split is rather easy to achieve. Due to the preparatory steps, we can now simply move over all related build instructions, only needing to remove the "src/" prefix from some files.

There are quite some uses of the variables "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" and "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}" where they are not appropriate. Convert these sites to instead use the variables "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}" and "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}", which instead point to the project's root directory. This will ease splitting up the library build instructions into its own subdirectory.
