2025-08-30Revert "patch: fix pch_context() for unified diffs with no leading context"Kyle Evans
This reverts commit f97b6a8f84b3ed209c2aea0958a7b889d0bf27ed, as it turns out our fuzz implementation is just too naive. We can have more leading context than trailing context and vice-versa, so we can't really assume they're the same. Restore the previous bug and we can work on it post-branch. Reported by: cy
2025-08-29patch: test for unified diffs with spaces in filenamesKyle Evans
The older GNU patch that we had in base did not properly handle spaces in filenames in unified diffs, but bsdpatch seems to have handled this fine at least since the version we imported into base initially. Add a test with spaces in the filename specifically to be sure. PR: 181272
2025-08-29patch: fix pch_context() for unified diffs with no leading contextKyle Evans
When the first line of a file is a removal, we may not have any leading context. Only adjusting p_context if context > 0 means that we incorrectly believe that we have 100 lines of context when the reality is that we have none. This fixes a bug with fuzz-checking, which ends up fuzzing away the line we're trying to replace if it's the first line in the file. We use pch_context() to determine a reasonable max-fuzz.

2024-04-19patch: use getline() instead of fgetln()Martin Tournoij
This replaces fgetln() with getline(). The main reason for this is portability, making things easier for people who want to compile these tools on non-FreeBSD systems. I appreciate that's probably not the top concern for FreeBSD base tools, but fgetln() is impossible to port to most platforms, as concurrent access is essentially impossible to implement fully correct without the line buffer on the FILE struct. Other than this, many generic FreeBSD tools compile fairly cleanly on Linux with a few small changes. Most uses of fgetln() pre-date getline() support (added in 2009 with 69099ba2ec8b), and there's been some previous patches (ee3ca711a898 8c98e6b1a7f3 1a2a4fc8ce1b) for other tools.

2023-02-13patch: omit filename if the prompt was ignoredKyle Evans
When a file is missing, patch(1) will prompt for a filename to try and patch it. If we're doing a dry-run, we'll output that the patch to the source file was either ignored/failed. If you ignore the prompt in a dry-run (i.e. just hit enter), we'll output: X out of X hunks ignored while patching (null) Let's improve the aesthetics a bit and just omit the last part if the prompt was ignored: X out of X hunks ignored Unfortunately we can't really test this without expect(1) because both force and batch mode will use the first best guess, which is wiped out by the "File to patch:" prompt. We could record the initially derived bestguess there and use *that*, but given that this is only possible in an interactive session I think it's fine to just omit the filename rather than adding a fair amount of complexity (which could also break other scenarios I haven't considered yet)..

2020-08-16Remove heuristic for dealing with trailing newlines being truncated by mailers.Warner Losh
Every version of patch since the first one posted to mod.sources in 1985 have included a heuristic for coping with the state of email messaging at the time. This heuristic would add up to 4 blank lines to a patch if it thought it needed it. The trouble is, though this causes at least one bug. The bug in my case is that if you have a context diff whose last hunk only deletes 3 or fewer lines, then if you try to reverse apply it with -R, it will fail. The reason for this is the heuristic builds an internal representation that includes those blank lines. However, it should really replicate the lines from the pattern lines line it would any other time, not assume they are blank lines. Removing this heuristic will prevent patch from misapplying the lines removed after applying a 'fuzz' factor to the previous blank line in the file. I believe this will only affect 'new-style' 4.3BSD context diffs and not the older-style 4.2BSD diffs and plain, non-context diffs. It won't affect any of the newer formats, since they don't use the 'omitted' construct in the same way. Since this heuristic was put into patch at a time when email / etc ate trailing white space on a regular basis, and since it's clear that this heuristic is the wrong thing to do at least some of the time, it's better to remove it entirely. It's not been needed for maybe 20 years since patch files are not usually corrupted. If there are a small number of patch files that would benefit from this corruption fixing, those already-currupt patches can be fixed by the addition of blank lines. I'd wager that no one will ever come to me with an example of a once-working patch file that breaks with this change. However, I have 2 patches from the first 195 patches to 2.11BSD that are affected by this bug, suggesting that the relative frequency of the issue has changed signficantly since the original heuristic was put into place.

2019-11-04patch(1): give /dev/null patches special treatmentKyle Evans
We have a bad habit of duplicating contents of files that are sourced from /dev/null and applied more than once... take the more sane (in most ways) GNU route and complain if the file exists and offer reversal options. This still falls short a little bit as selecting "don't reverse, apply anyway" will still give you duplicated file contents. There's probably other issues as well, but awareness is the first step to happiness.

2019-09-05patch(1): fix the file removal test, strengthen it a bitKyle Evans
To remain compatible with GNU patch, we should ensure that once we're removing empty files after a reversed /dev/null patch we don't remove files that have been modified. GNU patch leaves these intact and just reverses the hunk that created the file, effectively implying --remove-empty-files for reversed /dev/null patches. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=351866
2019-09-05patch(1): add some basic testsKyle Evans
Summary: - basic: test application of patches created by diff -u at the beginning/middle/end of file, which have differing amounts of context before and after chunks being added - limited_ctx: stems from PR 74127 in which a rogue line was getting added when the patch should have been rejected. Similar behavior was reproducible with larger contexts near the beginning/end of a file. See r326084 for details - file_creation: patch sourced from /dev/null should create the file - file_nodupe: said patch sourced from /dev/null shouldn't dupe the contents when re-applied (personal vendetta, WIP, see comment) - file_removal: this follows from nodupe; the reverse of a patch sourced from /dev/null is most naturally deleting the file, as is expected based on GNU patch behavior (WIP) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=351836
2019-03-01patch(1): Exit successfully if we're fed a 0-length patchKyle Evans
This change is made in the name of GNU patch compatibility. If GNU patch is fed a zero-length patch, it will exit successfully with no output. This is used in at least one port to date (comms/wsjtx), and we break on this usage. It seems unlikely that anyone relies on patch(1) calling their completely empty patch garbage and failing, and GNU compatibility is a plus if it helps with porting, so make the switch.

2018-01-11patch(1): Don't check for NUL bytes in Plan AKyle Evans
Plan A mmap()'s the entire input file and operates on it in memory. The map(2) call succeeded, so we shouldn't need to bother checking for the NUL byte as long as we're within our buffer space. This was clearly intentional to match "the behavior of the original code", but it creates a discrepancy between Plan A and Plan B that doesn't seem sensible and it's not inherently wrong to allow a NUL byte. This change was motivated by the gemspec in net/rubygem-grpc failing to patch, despite the patch being generated with diff, because a NUL byte was used as a delimiter in the header briefly in an otherwise text file. An alternative was considered: to fallback to plan B if plan A won't process the entire file due to a NUL byte, but I deemed this to be the better option since plan A isn't failing due to memory limitations and will fail later on if it's really dealing with a file it shouldn't be.

Matching with fuzz would be attempted and default to a match when we unexpectedly ran out of context. This also affected patches with higher levels of context but had limited actual context due to the hunk being located near the beginning/end of file.
