Ah, I was not being careful enough. Sorry. That said, I have been hating that diff options parsing for quite a while, and I've been thinking about cleaning it up along the lines I'll outline here, but have not done anything about it. Care to help me out? - In diff.h introduce these new stuff: struct diff_opts { int output_format; int detect_rename; ... }; void diff_opts_init(struct diff_opts *); int diff_opts_parse(const char *, struct diff_opts *); int diff_opts_final(struct diff_opts *); - In diff-* brothers: - replace individual diff option variables with a single "static struct diff_opts diff_opts"; - change the argument parsing code to do the following: diff_opts_init(&diff_opts); for each arg { /* common options to diff brothers are handled by * diff_opts_parse() */ switch (diff_opts_parse(arg, &diff_opts)) { case 1: /* was a diff option and was parsed successfully */ continue; case -1: /* error */ usage(diff_*_usage); } if (!strcmp()) ... parsing of other options } if (diff_opts_final(&diff_opts)) /* defaulting to HUMAN format when nothing specified, * complaining if find-copies-harder is specified but * -C was not, etc. is done in diff_opts_final(). * * The complex if() chains that checks if we are in * name or in raw mode and switch output_format around * properly is what I missed in your patch, but I think * you can lose that by recording z-ness of the output * independently from the output format in diff_opts_parse() * and combining diff-raw vs diff-name and z vs non-z * in diff_opts_final(). That would make the code much * simpler. */ usage(diff_*_usage); - In diff.h and diff.c, replace individual option parameters for the following functions to a single pointer to struct diff_opts: diff_setup(), diffcore_std(), diffcore_std_no_resolve(), diff_flush(). We probably can make diff_scoreopt_parse() function static to diff.c once this is done. We may want to rip out the independeant pickaxe, orderfile and filter support for diff-helper while we are at it, making it truly just a "diff-raw to diff-patch" converter.
