They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.
This patch was produced more or less with
git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'
and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.
You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected,
in addition to the manual reproduction.

As an attempt to come up with a useful mechanism to ensure that
certain messages are left untranslated [*], we earlier wrote
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON off as a failed experiment.
But the output from the test helper was easier to use while
debugging failed tests, compared to the same test writtein with the
plain-vanilla "grep". Especially when a test that expects a certain
string to appear in the output (e.g. "this test must fail with this
message") fails, "grep message output" would just silently fail and
in a &&-chained sequence of commands, it is hard to tell which step
failed. test_i18ngrep explicitly said "we wanted to see a line that
match this pattern but did not see a hit in this file".
What we have as test_i18ngrep in our tree still retains this verbose
output (even though we got rid of the "poison" support). Let's
rename it to test_grep (because it is no longer about i18n at all)
and then make test_i18ngrep a thin wrapper around it. Existing
callers of test_i18ngrep can be mechanically rewritten to instead
use test_grep over time, but it does not have to be done in this
commit.
[Footnote]
* The idea was that human-facing messages are often translated, but
there are messages that should never be translated. We use
"grep" only for the latter kind of messages, and then run tests
in "poison" mode that spew garbage for translatable messages. If
such a test run fails, it means these messages tested with "grep"
were marked for translation by mistake. test_i18ngrep was to be
used for other messages that are to be translated, and was to
always "succeed" when runing under the "poison" mode.

Fix a minor regression that some compiler might notice.
* 'jk/function-pointer-mismatches-fix' (early part):
fsck: use enum object_type for fsck_walk callback
We switched the function interface for fsck callbacks in a1aad71601
(fsck.h: use "enum object_type" instead of "int", 2021-03-28). However,
we accidentally flipped the type back to "int" as part of 0b4e9013f1
(fsck: mark unused parameters in various fsck callbacks, 2023-07-03).
The mistake happened because that commit was written before a1aad71601
and rebased forward, and I screwed up while resolving the conflict.
Curiously, the compiler does not warn about this mismatch, at least not
when using gcc and clang on Linux (nor in any of our CI environments).
Based on 28abf260a5 (builtin/fsck.c: don't conflate "int" and "enum" in
callback, 2021-06-01), I'd guess that this would cause the AIX xlc
compiler to complain. I noticed because clang-18's UBSan now identifies
mis-matched function calls at runtime, and does complain of this case
when running the test suite.
I'm not entirely clear on whether this mismatch is a problem in
practice. Compilers are certainly free to make enums smaller than "int"
if they don't need the bits, but I suspect that they have to promote
back to int for function calls (though I didn't dig in the standard, and
I won't be surprised if I'm simply wrong and the real-world impact would
depend on the ABI).
Regardless, switching it back to enum is obviously the right thing to do
here; the switch to "int" was simply a mistake.

This fixes an occasional hang I see when running t4053 with
--verbose-log using dash.
Commit 1e3f26542a (diff --no-index: support reading from named pipes,
2023-07-05) added a test that "diff --no-index" will complain when
comparing a named pipe and a directory. The minimum we need to test this
is to mkfifo the pipe, and then run "git diff --no-index pipe some_dir".
But the test does one thing more: it spawns a background shell process
that opens the pipe for writing, like this:
{
(>pipe) &
} &&
This extra writer _could_ be useful if Git misbehaves and tries to open
the pipe for reading. Without the writer, Git would block indefinitely
and the test would never end. But since we do not have such a bug, Git
does not open the pipe and it is the writing process which will block
indefinitely, since there are no readers. The test addresses this by
running "kill $!" in a test_when_finished block. Since the writer should
be blocking forever, this kill command will reliably find it waiting.
However, this seems to be somewhat racy, in that the writing process
sometimes hangs around even after the "kill". In a normal run of the
test script without options, this doesn't have any effect; the
main test script completes anyway. But with --verbose-log, we spawn a
"tee" process that reads the script output, and it won't end until all
descriptors pointing to its input pipe are closed. And the background
process that is hanging around still has its stderr, etc, pointed into
that pipe.
You can reproduce the situation like this:
cd t
./t4053-diff-no-index.sh --verbose-log --stress
Let that run for a few minutes, and then you'll find that some of the
runs have hung. For example, at 11:53, I ran:
$ ps xk start o pid,start,command | grep tee | head
713459 11:48:06 tee -a /home/peff/compile/git/t/test-results/t4053-diff-no-index.stress-9.out

All of these have been hung for several minutes. We can investigate one
and see that it's waiting to get EOF on its input:

It's a shell, presumably a subshell spawned by the main script. Though
it may seem odd, having the same descriptor open several times is not
unreasonable (they're all basically the original stdout/stderr of the
script that has been copied). And they should all close when the process
exits. So what's it doing? Curiously, it will exit as soon as we strace
it:
$ strace -s 64 -p 719203
strace: Process 719203 attached
openat(AT_FDCWD, "pipe", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "./t4053-diff-no-index.sh: 7: eval: ", 35) = 35
write(2, "cannot create pipe: Directory nonexistent", 41) = 41
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
exit_group(2) = ?
+++ exited with 2 +++
I think what happens is this:
- it is blocking in the openat() call for the pipe, as we expect (so
this is definitely the backgrounded subshell mentioned above)
- strace sends signals (probably STOP/CONT); those cause the kernel to
stop blocking, but libc will restart the system call automatically
- by this time, the "pipe" fifo is gone, so we'll actually try to
create a regular file. But of course the surrounding directory is
gone, too! So we get ENOENT, and then exit as normal.
So the blocking is something we expect to happen. But what we didn't
expect is for the process to still exist at all! It should have been
killed earlier when the parent process called "kill", but it wasn't. And
we can't catch the race at this point, because it happened much earlier.
One can guess, though, that there is some race with the shell setting up
the signal handling in the backgrounded subshell, and possibly blocking
or ignoring signals at the time that the "kill" is received. Curiously,
the race does not seem to happen if I use "bash" instead of "dash", so
presumably bash's setup here is more atomic.
One fix might be to try killing the subshell more aggressively, either
using SIGKILL, or looping on kill/wait. But that seems complex and
likely to introduce new problems/races. Instead, we can observe that the
writer is not needed at all. Git will notice the pipe via stat() before
it is ever opened. So we can simply drop the writer subshell entirely.
If we ever changed Git to open the path and fstat() it, this would
result in the test hanging. But we're not likely to do that. After all,
we have to stat() paths to see if they are openable at all (e.g., it
could be a directory), so this seems like a low risk. And anybody who
does make such a change will immediately see the issue, as Git would
hang consistently.

The test 'diff --no-index reads from pipes' starts a couple of
background processes that write to the pipes that are passed to "diff
--no-index". If the test passes then we expect these processes to exit
as all their output will have been read. However if the test fails
then we want to make sure they do not hang about on the users machine
and the test remembers they should be killed by calling
test_when_finished "! kill $!"
after each background process is created. Unfortunately there is a
race where test_when_finished may run before the background process
exits even when all its output has been read resulting in the kill
command succeeding which causes the test to fail. Fix this by ignoring
the exit status of the kill command. If the diff is successful we
could instead wait for the background process to exit and check their
status but that feels like it is testing the platform's printf
implementation rather than git's code.
