73ece669ec run-command: be helpful with Git LFS fails on Windows 7
Git LFS is now built with Go 1.21 which no longer supports Windows 7.
However, Git for Windows still wants to support Windows 7.

Ideally, Git LFS would re-introduce Windows 7 support until Git for
Windows drops support for Windows 7, but that's not going to happen:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4996#issuecomment-2176152565

The next best thing we can do is to let the users know what is
happening, and how to get out of their fix, at least.

This is not quite as easy as it would first seem because programs
compiled with Go 1.21 or newer will simply throw an exception and fail
with an Access Violation on Windows 7.

The only way I found to address this is to replicate the logic from Go's
very own `version` command (which can determine the Go version with
which a given executable was built) to detect the situation, and in that
case offer a helpful error message.

This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4996.

29d72bae54 win32: ensure that localtime_r() is declared even in i686 builds
The `__MINGW64__` constant is defined, surprise, surprise, only when
building for a 64-bit CPU architecture.

Therefore using it as a guard to define `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` (so that
`localtime_r()` is declared, among other functions) is not enough, we
also need to check `__MINGW32__`.

Technically, the latter constant is defined even for 64-bit builds. But
let's make things a bit easier to understand by testing for both
constants.

Making it so fixes this compile warning (turned error in GCC v14.1):

  archive-zip.c: In function 'dos_time':
  archive-zip.c:612:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'localtime_r';
  did you mean 'localtime_s'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

b1e9f65d0a win32: use native ANSI sequence processing, if possible
Windows 10 version 1511 (also known as Anniversary Update), according to
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences
introduced native support for ANSI sequence processing. This allows
using colors from the entire 24-bit color range.

All we need to do is test whether the console's "virtual processing
support" can be enabled. If it can, we do not even need to start the
`console_thread` to handle ANSI sequences.

Or, almost all we need to do: When `console_thread()` does its work, it
uses the Unicode-aware `write_console()` function to write to the Win32
Console, which supports Git for Windows' implicit convention that all
text that is written is encoded in UTF-8. The same is not necessarily
true if native ANSI sequence processing is used, as the output is then
subject to the current code page. Let's ensure that the code page is set
to `CP_UTF8` as long as Git writes to it.

3ea3333d2f mingw: suggest windows.appendAtomically in more cases
When running Git for Windows on a remote APFS filesystem, it would
appear that the `mingw_open_append()`/`write()` combination would fail

f7b86d2dab mingw: ignore HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH if it points to Windows' system directory
Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and
to point to the current user's home directory.

This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and
therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset.

There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks
at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate
environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their
global Git settings to be in a roaming profile.

Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a
valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead.

However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services,
the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows'
system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`).

That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway.

So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to
Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE`
if it does.

This fixes git-for-windows#2709

6c2006b3cf http: when loading libcurl lazily, allow for multiple SSL backends
The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl
lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent
on platforms other than Windows).

To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where
each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether
`libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall
back.

That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports
the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl
won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new
major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every
program and library that depends on it).

This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep
working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that
library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`.

Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu,
for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use
`libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4`
for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.

e3816ff527 http: support lazy-loading libcurl also on Windows
This implements the Windows-specific support code, because everything is
slightly different on Windows, even loading shared libraries.

Note: I specifically do _not_ use the code from
`compat/win32/lazyload.h` here because that code is optimized for
loading individual functions from various system DLLs, while we
specifically want to load _many_ functions from _one_ DLL here, and
distinctly not a system DLL (we expect libcurl to be located outside
`C:\Windows\system32`, something `INIT_PROC_ADDR` refuses to work with).
Also, the `curl_easy_getinfo()`/`curl_easy_setopt()` functions are
declared as vararg functions, which `lazyload.h` cannot handle. Finally,
we are about to optionally override the exact file name that is to be
loaded, which is a goal contrary to `lazyload.h`'s design.

48242ce451 mingw: make sure errno is set correctly when socket operations fail
The winsock2 library provides functions that work on different data
types than file descriptors, therefore we wrap them.

But that is not the only difference: they also do not set `errno` but
expect the callers to enquire about errors via `WSAGetLastError()`.

Let's translate that into appropriate `errno` values whenever the socket
operations fail so that Git's code base does not have to change its
expectations.

50171be53e mingw: change core.fsyncObjectFiles = 1 by default
From the documentation of said setting:

	This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.

	This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
	orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
	that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
	that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
	or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").

The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.

Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

b58bbf221d winansi: check result and Buffer before using Name
NtQueryObject under Wine can return a success but fill out no name.
In those situations, Wine will set Buffer to NULL, and set result to
the sizeof(OBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION).

Running a command such as

echo "$(git.exe --version 2>/dev/null)"

will crash due to a NULL pointer dereference when the code attempts to
null terminate the buffer, although, weirdly, removing the subshell or
redirecting stdout to a file will not trigger the crash.

Code has been added to also check Buffer and Length to ensure the check
is as robust as possible due to the current behavior being fragile at
best, and could potentially change in the future

This code is based on the behavior of NtQueryObject under wine and
reactos.

079bf4e505 compat/mingw.c: do not warn when failing to get owner
In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW()
call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than
ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary.

In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL
owner is a different entity than the Windows user.

The change here is to suppress the error message that looks like this:

  error: failed to get owner for '//wsl.localhost/...' (1)

Before this change, this warning happens for every Git command,
regardless of whether the directory is marked with safe.directory.

5ea6d3d2f3 mingw: allow git.exe to be used instead of the "Git wrapper"
Git for Windows wants to add `git.exe` to the users' `PATH`, without
cluttering the latter with unnecessary executables such as `wish.exe`.
To that end, it invented the concept of its "Git wrapper", i.e. a tiny
executable located in `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe` (originally a
CMD script) whose sole purpose is to set up a couple of environment
variables and then spawn the _actual_ `git.exe` (which nowadays lives in
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe` for 64-bit, and the obvious
equivalent for 32-bit installations).

Currently, the following environment variables are set unless already
initialized:

- `MSYSTEM`, to make sure that the MSYS2 Bash and the MSYS2 Perl
  interpreter behave as expected, and

- `PLINK_PROTOCOL`, to force PuTTY's `plink.exe` to use the SSH
  protocol instead of Telnet,

- `PATH`, to make sure that the `bin` folder in the user's home
  directory, as well as the `/mingw64/bin` and the `/usr/bin`
  directories are included. The trick here is that the `/mingw64/bin/`
  and `/usr/bin/` directories are relative to the top-level installation
  directory of Git for Windows (which the included Bash interprets as
  `/`, i.e. as the MSYS pseudo root directory).

Using the absence of `MSYSTEM` as a tell-tale, we can detect in
`git.exe` whether these environment variables have been initialized
properly. Therefore we can call `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git`
in-place after this change, without having to call Git through the Git
wrapper.

Obviously, above-mentioned directories must be _prepended_ to the `PATH`
variable, otherwise we risk picking up executables from unrelated Git
installations. We do that by constructing the new `PATH` value from
scratch, appending `$HOME/bin` (if `HOME` is set), then the MSYS2 system
directories, and then appending the original `PATH`.

Side note: this modification of the `PATH` variable is independent of
the modification necessary to reach the executables and scripts in
`/mingw64/libexec/git-core/`, i.e. the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. That
modification is still performed by Git, elsewhere, long after making the
changes described above.

While we _still_ cannot simply hard-link `mingw64\bin\git.exe` to `cmd`
(because the former depends on a couple of `.dll` files that are only in
`mingw64\bin`, i.e. calling `...\cmd\git.exe` would fail to load due to
missing dependencies), at least we can now avoid that extra process of
running the Git wrapper (which then has to wait for the spawned
`git.exe` to finish) by calling `...\mingw64\bin\git.exe` directly, via
its absolute path.

Testing this is in Git's test suite tricky: we set up a "new" MSYS
pseudo-root and copy the `git.exe` file into the appropriate location,
then verify that `MSYSTEM` is set properly, and also that the `PATH` is
modified so that scripts can be found in `$HOME/bin`, `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/`.

05ed24da96 mingw: ensure valid CTYPE
A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).

An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.

One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

25c1056a60 mimalloc: offer a build-time option to enable it

trying to call `NtCurrentTeb()` (which `_mi_thread_id()` does on
Windows) causes the bogus warning about a system header, likely related
to https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/37674519/ and to
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99578:

C:/git-sdk-64-minimal/mingw64/include/psdk_inc/intrin-impl.h:838:1:
        error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'long long unsigned int[0]' [-Werror=array-bounds]
  838 | __buildreadseg(__readgsqword, unsigned __int64, "gs", "q")
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also: The `mimalloc` library uses C11-style atomics, therefore we must
require that standard when compiling with GCC if we want to use
`mimalloc` (instead of requiring "only" C99). This is what we do in the
CMake definition already, therefore this commit does not need to touch
`contrib/buildsystems/`.

981aa24c12 clean: do not traverse mount points
It seems to be not exactly rare on Windows to install NTFS junction
points (the equivalent of "bind mounts" on Linux/Unix) in worktrees,
e.g. to map some development tools into a subdirectory.

In such a scenario, it is pretty horrible if `git clean -dfx` traverses
into the mapped directory and starts to "clean up".

Let's just not do that. Let's make sure before we traverse into a
directory that it is not a mount point (or junction).

This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/607

95bb3faab1 mimalloc: adjust for building inside Git
We want to compile mimalloc's source code as part of Git, rather than
requiring the code to be built as an external library: mimalloc uses a
CMake-based build, which is not necessarily easy to integrate into the
flavors of Git for Windows (which will be the main benefitting port).

7e2afcf31d win32/pthread: avoid name clashes with winpthread
When asking the mingw-w64 variant of GCC to compile C11 code, it seems
to link implicitly to libwinpthread, which does implement a pthread
emulation (that is more complete than Git's).

In preparation for vendoring in mimalloc (which requires C11 support),
let's keep preferring Git's own pthread emulation.

To avoid linker errors where it thinks that the `pthread_self` and the
`pthread_create` symbols are defined twice, let's give our version a
`win32_` prefix, just like we already do for `pthread_join()`.

1edeb9a (Win32: warn if the console font doesn't support Unicode,
2014-06-10) introduced both code to detect the current console font on
Windows Vista and newer and a fallback for older systems to detect the
default console font and issue a warning if that font doesn't support
unicode.

Since we haven't supported any Windows older than Vista in almost a
decade, we don't need to keep the workaround.

66dd13f3f7 unify and bump _WIN32_WINNT definition to Windows 8.1
Git for Windows doesn't support anything prior to Windows 8.1 since 2.47.0
and Git followed along with commits like ce6ccba (mingw: drop Windows
7-specific work-around, 2025-08-04).

There is no need to pretend to the compiler that we still support Windows
Vista, just to lock us out of easy access to newer APIs. There is also no
need to have conflicting and unused definitions claiming we support some
versions of Windows XP or even Windows NT 4.0.

Bump all definitions of _WIN32_WINNT to a realistic value of Windows 8.1.
This will also simplify code for a followup commit that will improve cpu
core detection on multi-socket systems.

c664ee2001 mingw: use strftime() directly in UCRT builds
The `mingw_strftime()` wrapper exists to work around msvcrt.dll's
incomplete `strftime()` implementation by dynamically loading the
version from ucrtbase.dll at runtime via `LoadLibrary()` +
`GetProcAddress()`. When the binary is already linked against UCRT
(i.e. when building in the UCRT64 environment), the linked-in
`strftime()` is the ucrtbase.dll version, making the dynamic loading
needless churn: It's calling the very same code.

Simply guard both the declaration and implementation so that the
unnecessary work-around is skipped in UCRT builds.

bd66ed316c regexp: leave a pointer to resurrect workaround for Homebrew
Recently some GitHub CI jobs were broken by update on the platform
side, which was eventually resolved by image rollback, but in the
meantime Dscho invented a workaround patch to sidestep the broken
part of the platform.  Their future image update may contain the
same bug, in which case the workaround may again become needed.

As we do not want to be building with workaround that avoids system
regexp library altogether unless the system is known to be broken,
so short of an automated "detect broken system and apply workaround"
mechanism, let's use the folks who are compiling the code to detect
breakage on their system and cope with the breakage ;-)

In a subsequent commit we're going to add the first caller to
writev(3p). Introduce a compatibility wrapper for this syscall that we
can use on systems that don't have this syscall.

The syscall exists on modern Unixes like Linux and macOS, and seemingly
even for NonStop according to [1]. It doesn't seem to exist on Windows
though.

d7301487a3 trace2: emit cmd_ancestry data for Windows
Since 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent process name, 2021-07-21) it is now
now possible to emit a specific process ancestry event in TRACE2. We
should emit the Windows process ancestry data with the correct event
type.

To not break existing consumers of the data_json "windows/ancestry"
event, we continue to emit the ancestry data as a JSON event.

c2a473b2b1 trace2: refactor Windows process ancestry trace2 event
In 353d3d77f4 (trace2: collect Windows-specific process information,
2019-02-22) we added process ancestry information for Windows to TRACE2
via a data_json event. It was only later in 2f732bf15e (tr2: log parent
process name, 2021-07-21) that the specific cmd_ancestry event was
added to TRACE2.

In a future commit we will emit the ancestry information with the newer
cmd_ancestry TRACE2 event. Right now, we rework this implementation of
trace2_collect_process_info to separate the calculation of ancestors
from building and emiting the JSON array via a data_json event.
