The `OPTION_FILENAME` option always assigns either an allocated string
or `NULL` to the value. In case it is passed multiple times it does not
know to free the previous value though, which causes a memory leak.
Refactor the function to always free the previous value. None of the
sites where this option is used pass a string constant, so this change
is safe.
While at it, fix the argument of `fix_filename()` to be a string
constant. The only reason why it's not is because we use it as an
in-out-parameter, where the input is a constant and the output is not.
This is weird and unnecessary, as we can just return the result instead
of using the parameter for this.
This leak is being hit in t7621, but plugging it alone does not make the
test suite pass.

Strip "no-" from arg and long_name before comparing them. This way we
no longer have to repeat the comparison with an offset of 3 for negated
arguments.
Note that we must not modify the "flags" value, which tracks whether arg
is negated, inside the loop. When registering "--n", "--no" or "--no-"
as abbreviation for any negative option, we used to OR it with OPT_UNSET
and end the loop. We can simply hard-code OPT_UNSET and leave flags
unchanged instead.

Git currently does not detect the ambiguity of an option that starts
with "no" like --notes and its negated form if given just --n or --no.
All Git commands with such options have other negatable options, and
we detect the ambiguity with them, so that's currently only a potential
problem for scripts that use git rev-parse --parseopt.
Let's fix it nevertheless, as there's no need for that confusion. To
detect the ambiguity we have to loosen the check in register_abbrev(),
as an option is considered an alias of itself. Add non-matching
negation flags as a criterion to recognize an option being ambiguous
with its negated form.
And we need to keep going after finding a non-negated option as an
abbreviated candidate and perform the negation checks in the same
loop.

Giving an argument to an option that doesn't take one causes Git to
report that error specifically:
$ git rm --dry-run=bogus
error: option `dry-run' takes no value
The same is true when the option is negated or abbreviated:
$ git rm --no-dry-run=bogus
error: option `no-dry-run' takes no value
$ git rm --dry=bogus
error: option `dry-run' takes no value
Not so when doing both, though:
$ git rm --no-dry=bogus
error: unknown option `no-dry=bogus'
usage: git rm [-f | --force] [-n] [-r] [--cached] [--ignore-unmatch]
(Rest of the usage message omitted.)
Improve consistency and usefulness of the error message by recognizing
abbreviated negated options even if they have a (most likely bogus)

* rs/parse-options-with-keep-unknown-abbrev-fix:
parse-options: simplify positivation handling
parse-options: fully disable option abbreviation with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN
We accept the positive version of options whose long name starts with
"no-" and are defined without the flag PARSE_OPT_NONEG. E.g. git clone
has an explicitly defined --no-checkout option and also implicitly
accepts --checkout to override it.
parse_long_opt() handles that by restarting the option matching with the
positive version when it finds that only the current option definition
starts with "no-", but not the user-supplied argument. This code is
located almost at the end of the matching logic.
Avoid the need for a restart by moving the code up. We don't have to
check the positive arg against the negative long_name at all -- the
"no-" prefix of the latter makes a match impossible. Skip it and toggle
OPT_UNSET right away to simplify the control flow.

"git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed
to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was
fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout".
* jk/end-of-options:
parse-options: decouple "--end-of-options" and "--"
When we added generic end-of-options support in 51b4594b40
(parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--",
2019-08-06), we made them true synonyms. They both stop option parsing,
and they are both returned in the resulting argv if the KEEP_DASHDASH
flag is used.
The hope was that this would work for all callers:
- most generic callers would not pass KEEP_DASHDASH, and so would just
do the right thing (stop parsing there) without needing to know
anything more.
- callers with KEEP_DASHDASH were generally going to rely on
setup_revisions(), which knew to handle --end-of-options specially
But that turned out miss quite a few cases that pass KEEP_DASHDASH but
do their own manual parsing. For example, "git reset", "git checkout",
and so on want pass KEEP_DASHDASH so they can support:
git reset $revs -- $paths
but of course aren't going to actually do a traversal, so they don't
call setup_revisions(). And those cases currently get confused by
--end-of-options being left in place, like:
$ git reset --end-of-options HEAD
fatal: option '--end-of-options' must come before non-option arguments
We could teach each of these callers to handle the leftover option
explicitly. But let's try to be a bit more clever and see if we can
solve it centrally in parse-options.c.
The bogus assumption here is that KEEP_DASHDASH tells us the caller
wants to see --end-of-options in the result. But really, the callers
which need to know that --end-of-options was reached are those that may
potentially parse more options from argv. In other words, those that
pass the KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag.
If such a caller is aware of --end-of-options (e.g., because they call
setup_revisions() with the result), then this will continue to do the
right thing, treating anything after --end-of-options as a non-option.
And if the caller is not aware of --end-of-options, they are better off
keeping it intact, because either:
1. They are just passing the options along to somebody else anyway, in
which case that somebody would need to know about the
--end-of-options marker.
2. They are going to parse the remainder themselves, at which point
choking on --end-of-options is much better than having it silently
removed. The point is to avoid option injection from untrusted
command line arguments, and bailing is better than quietly treating
the untrusted argument as an option.
This fixes bugs with --end-of-options across several commands, but I've
focused on two in particular here:
- t7102 confirms that "git reset --end-of-options --foo" now works.
This checks two things. One, that we no longer barf on
"--end-of-options" itself (which previously we did, even if the rev
was something vanilla like "HEAD" instead of "--foo"). And two, that
we correctly treat "--foo" as a revision rather than an option.
This fix applies to any other cases which pass KEEP_DASHDASH but not
KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT, like "git checkout", "git check-attr", "git grep",
etc, which would previously choke on "--end-of-options".
- t9350 shows the opposite case: fast-export passed KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
but not KEEP_DASHDASH, but then passed the result on to
setup_revisions(). So it never saw --end-of-options, and would
erroneously parse "fast-export --end-of-options --foo" as having a
"--foo" option. This is now fixed.
Note that this does shut the door for callers which want to know if we
hit end-of-options, but don't otherwise need to keep unknown opts. The
obvious thing here is feeding it to the DWIM verify_filename()
machinery. And indeed, this is a problem even for commands which do
understand --end-of-options already. For example, without this patch,
you get:
$ git log --end-of-options --foo
fatal: option '--foo' must come before non-option arguments
because we refuse to accept "--foo" as a filename (because it starts
with a dash) even though we could know that we saw end-of-options. The
verify_filename() function simply doesn't accept this extra information.
So that is the status quo, and this patch doubles down further on that.
Commands like "git reset" have the same problem, but they won't even
know that parse-options saw --end-of-options! So even if we fixed
verify_filename(), they wouldn't have anything to pass to it.
But in practice I don't think this is a big deal. If you are being
careful enough to use --end-of-options, then you should also be using
"--" to disambiguate and avoid the DWIM behavior in the first place. In
other words, doing:
git log --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
works correctly, and will continue to do so. And likewise, with this
patch now:
git reset --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
will work, as well.

Only a single PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option can be specified for the same
variable at the same time. This is enforced by get_value(), but the
error messages are imprecise in three ways:
1. If a non-PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option changes the value variable of a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option then an ominously vague message is shown:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
error: option `mode1' : incompatible with something else
Worse: If the order of options is reversed then no error is reported at
all:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
boolean: 0
integer: 23
magnitude: 0
timestamp: 0
string: (not set)
abbrev: 7
verbose: -1
quiet: 0
dry run: no
file: (not set)
Fortunately this can currently only happen in the test helper; actual
Git commands don't share the same variable for the value of options with
and without the flag PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE.
2. If there are multiple options with the same value (synonyms), then
the one that is defined first is shown rather than the one actually
given on the command line, which is confusing:
$ git am --resolved --quit
error: option `quit' is incompatible with --continue
3. Arguments of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options are not handled by the
parse-option machinery. This is left to the callback function. We
currently only have a single affected option, --show-current-patch of
git am. Errors for it can show an argument that was not actually given
on the command line:
$ git am --show-current-patch --show-current-patch=diff
error: options '--show-current-patch=diff' and '--show-current-patch=raw' cannot be used together
The options --show-current-patch and --show-current-patch=raw are
synonyms, but the error accuses the user of input they did not actually
made. Or it can awkwardly print a NULL pointer:
$ git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch
error: options '--show-current-patch=(null)' and '--show-current-patch=diff' cannot be used together
The reasons for these shortcomings is that the current code checks
incompatibility only when encountering a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option at the
command line, and that it searches the previous incompatible option by
value.
Fix the first two points by checking all PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables
after parsing each option and by storing all relevant details if their
value changed. Do that whether or not the changing options has the flag
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE set. Report an incompatibility only if two options
change the variable to different values and at least one of them is a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option. This changes the output of the first three
examples above to:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
error: --mode1 is incompatible with --set23
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
error: --set23 is incompatible with --mode1
$ git am --resolved --quit
error: --quit is incompatible with --resolved
Store the argument of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options of type OPTION_CALLBACK
as well to allow taking over the responsibility for compatibility
checking from the callback function. The next patch will use this
capability to fix the messages for git am --show-current-patch.
Use a linked list for storing the PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables. This
somewhat outdated data structure is simple and suffices, as the number
of elements per command is currently only zero or one. We do support
multiple different command modes variables per command, but I don't
expect that we'd ever use a significant number of them. Once we do we
can switch to a hashmap.
Since we no longer need to search the conflicting option, the all_opts
parameter of get_value() is no longer used. Remove it.
Extend the tests to check for both conflicting option names, but don't
insist on a particular order.

The parse-options API responds to "git cmd -h" by listing the option
flag (padded to the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH column), followed by USAGE_GAP
(set to 2) whitespaces, followed by the help text. If the flags
part does not fit within the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH, the help text is given

--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'

When handling OPT_FILENAME(), we have to stick the "prefix" (if any) in
front of the filename to make up for the fact that Git has chdir()'d to
the top of the repository. We can do this with prefix_filename(), but
there are a few special cases we handle ourselves.
Unfortunately the memory allocation is inconsistent here; if we do make
it to prefix_filename(), we'll allocate a string which the caller must
free to avoid a leak. But if we hit our special cases, we'll return the
string as-is, and a caller which tries to free it will crash. So there's
no way to win.
Let's consistently allocate, so that callers can do the right thing.
There are now three cases to care about in the function (and hence a
three-armed if/else):
1. we got a NULL input (and should leave it as NULL, though arguably
this is the sign of a bug; let's keep the status quo for now and we
can pick at that scab later)
2. we hit a special case that means we leave the name intact; we
should duplicate the string. This includes our special "-"
matching. Prior to this patch, it also included empty prefixes and
absolute filenames. But we can observe that prefix_filename()
already handles these, so we don't need to detect them.
3. everything else goes to prefix_filename()
I've dropped the "const" from the "char **file" parameter to indicate
that we're allocating, though in practice it's not really important.
This is all being shuffled through a void pointer via opt->value before
it hits code which ever looks at the string. And it's even a bit weird,
because we are really taking _in_ a const string and using the same
out-parameter for a non-const string. A better function signature would
be:
static char *fix_filename(const char *prefix, const char *file);
but that would mean the caller dereferences the double-pointer (and the
NULL check is currently handled inside this function). So I took the
path of least-change here.
Note that we have to fix several callers in this commit, too, or we'll
break the leak-checking tests. These are "new" leaks in the sense that
they are now triggered by the test suite, but these spots have always
been leaky when Git is run in a subdirectory of the repository. I fixed
all of the cases that trigger with GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK. There
may be others in scripts that have other leaks, but we can fix them
later along with those other leaks (and again, you _couldn't_ fix them
before this patch, so this is the necessary first step).

Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive
"operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument
with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result
in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error
messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make
possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands
programmatically.
The approach is guided by the following observations:
- Most subcommands [1] are implemented in dedicated functions, and
most of those functions [2] either have a signature matching the
'int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argc, const char *prefix)'
signature of builtin commands or can be trivially converted to
that signature, because they miss only that last prefix parameter
or have no parameters at all.
- Subcommand arguments only have long form, and they have no double
dash prefix, no negated form, and no description, and they don't
take any arguments, and can't be abbreviated.
- There must be exactly one subcommand among the arguments, or zero
if the command has a default operation mode.
- All arguments following the subcommand are considered to be
arguments of the subcommand, and, conversely, arguments meant for
the subcommand may not preceed the subcommand.
So in the end subcommand declaration and parsing would look something
like this:
parse_opt_subcommand_fn *fn = NULL;
struct option builtin_commit_graph_options[] = {
OPT_STRING(0, "object-dir", &opts.obj_dir, N_("dir"),
N_("the object directory to store the graph")),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("verify", &fn, graph_verify),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("write", &fn, graph_write),
OPT_END(),
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options,
builtin_commit_graph_usage, 0);
return fn(argc, argv, prefix);
Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show
usage and abort.
If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized
to the function implementing that mode, and parse_options() should be
invoked with the PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag. In this case
parse_options() won't error out when not finding any subcommands, but
will return leaving 'fn' unchanged. Note that if that default
operation mode has any --options, then the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
the given subcommand, affecting all callsites, even those that
don't have subcommands.
- Introduce a specific parse_options_and_subcommand() variant
with that extra funcion parameter.
- I decided against automatically calling the subcommand function
from within parse_options(), because:
- There are commands that have to perform additional actions
after option parsing but before calling the function
implementing the specified subcommand.
- The return code of the subcommand is usually the return code
of the git command, but preserving the return code of the
automatically called subcommand function would have made the
API awkward.
- Also add a OPT_SUBCOMMAND_F() variant to allow specifying an
option flag: we have two subcommands that are purposefully
excluded from completion ('git remote rm' and 'git stash save'),
so they'll have to be specified with the PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE
flag.
- Some of the 'parse_opt_flags' don't make sense with subcommands,
and using them is probably just an oversight or misunderstanding.
Therefore parse_options() will BUG() when invoked with any of the
following flags while the options array contains at least one
OPT_SUBCOMMAND:
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH: parse_options() stops parsing
arguments when encountering a "--" argument, so it doesn't
make sense to expect and keep one before a subcommand, because
it would prevent the parsing of the subcommand.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, because the double dash
might be meaningful for the command's default operation mode,
e.g. to disambiguate refs and pathspecs.
- PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION: As its name suggests, this flag
tells parse_options() to stop as soon as it encouners a
non-option argument, but subcommands are by definition not
options... so how could they be parsed, then?!
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN: This flag can be used to collect any
unknown --options and then pass them to a different command or
subsystem. Surely if a command has subcommands, then this
functionality should rather be delegated to one of those
subcommands, and not performed by the command itself.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, making possible to pass
--options to the default operation mode.
- If the command with subcommands has a default operation mode, then
all arguments to the command must preceed the arguments of the
subcommand.
AFAICT we don't have any commands where this makes a difference,
because in those commands either only the command accepts any
arguments ('notes' and 'remote'), or only the default subcommand
('reflog' and 'stash'), but never both.
- The 'argv' array passed to subcommand functions currently starts
with the name of the subcommand. Keep this behavior. AFAICT no
subcommand functions depend on the actual content of 'argv[0]',
but the parse_options() call handling their options expects that
the options start at argv[1].
- To support handling subcommands programmatically in our Bash
completion script, 'git cmd --git-completion-helper' will now list
both subcommands and regular --options, if any. This means that
the completion script will have to separate subcommands (i.e.
words without a double dash prefix) from --options on its own, but
that's rather easy to do, and it's not much work either, because
the number of subcommands a command might have is rather low, and
those commands accept only a single --option or none at all. An
alternative would be to introduce a separate option that lists
only subcommands, but then the completion script would need not
one but two git invocations and command substitutions for commands
with subcommands.
Note that this change doesn't affect the behavior of our Bash
completion script, because when completing the --option of a
command with subcommands, e.g. for 'git notes --<TAB>', then all
subcommands will be filtered out anyway, as none of them will
match the word to be completed starting with that double dash
prefix.
[1] Except 'git rerere', because many of its subcommands are
implemented in the bodies of the if-else if statements parsing the
command's subcommand argument.
[2] Except 'credential', 'credential-store' and 'fsmonitor--daemon',
because some of the functions implementing their subcommands take
special parameters.

The output of 'git <cmd> --git-completion-helper' always starts with a
space, e.g.:
$ git config --git-completion-helper
--global --system --local [...]
This doesn't matter for the completion script, because field splitting
discards that space anyway.
However, later patches in this series will teach parse-options to
handle subcommands, and subcommands will be included in the completion
helper output as well. This will make the loop printing options (and
subcommands) a tad more complex, so I wanted to test the result. The
test would have to account for the presence of that leading space,
which bugged my OCD, so let's get rid of it.

The description of 'PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN' starts with "Keep unknown
arguments instead of erroring out". This is a bit misleading, as this
flag only applies to unknown --options, while non-option arguments are
kept even without this flag.
Update the description to clarify this, and rename the flag to
PARSE_OPTIONS_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT to make this obvious just by looking at
the flag name.

When we run into bugs in parse-options.c usage it's good to be able to
note all the issues we ran into before dying. This use-case is why we
have the optbug() function introduced in 1e5ce570ca (parse-options:
clearer reporting of API misuse, 2010-12-02)
Let's change this code to use the new bug() API introduced in the
preceding commit, which cuts down on the verbosity of
parse_options_check().
There are existing uses of BUG() in adjacent code that should have
been using optbug() that aren't being changed here. That'll be done in
a subsequent commit. This only changes the optbug() callers.
Since this will invoke BUG() the previous exit(128) code will be
changed, but in this case that's what we want, i.e. to have
encountering a BUG() return the specific "BUG" exit code.

Add a usage_msg_optf() as a shorthand for the sort of

use of this function in builtin/cat-file.c shortly.
The disconnect between the "..." and "fmt" is a bit unusual, but it
works just fine and this keeps it consistent with usage_msg_opt(),
i.e. a caller of it can be moved to usage_msg_optf() and not have to
have its arguments re-arranged.

This change also demonstrates why the return value of
die_message_routine() needed to be that of "report_fn". We have
callers such as the run-command.c::child_err_spew() which would like
to replace its error routine with the return value of
"get_die_message_routine()".

Change the parse_nodash_opt() function to use "enum
parse_opt_result". In 352e761388 (parse-options.[ch]: consistently
use "enum parse_opt_result", 2021-10-08) its only caller
parse_options_step() started using that return type, and the
get_value() which will be called and return from it uses the same
enum.
Let's do the same here so that this function always returns an "enum
parse_opt_result" value.
We could go for either PARSE_OPT_HELP (-2) or PARSE_OPT_ERROR (-1)
here. The reason we ended up with "-2" is that in code added in
07fe54db3c (parse-opt: do not print errors on unknown options, return
"-2" instead., 2008-06-23) we used that value in a meaningful way.
Then in 51a9949eda (parseopt: add PARSE_OPT_NODASH, 2009-05-07) the
use of "-2" was seemingly copy/pasted from parse_long_opt(), which was
the function immediately above the parse_nodash_opt() function added
in that commit.
Since we only care about whether the return value here is non-zero
let's use the more generic PARSE_OPT_ERROR.
