It's not "exact" since case munging has to be done, and I think
"simple" captures the optimisation better.</pedant>
With apologies to smcv, who probably has to rebuild his wiki now.
Let E be the number of dependencies per page of the form "A depends on B and
nothing else", let D be the number of other dependencies per page,
let P be the total number of pages, and let C be the number of changed
pages in a refresh.
This patch should speed up a refresh from O(E*C*P + D*C*P) to
O(C + E*P + D*C*P), assuming that hash lookups are O(1).
In practice, plugins like inline and map produce a lot of these very simple
dependencies, and my album plugin's combination of inline with a large
number of pages causes it to suffer particularly badly.
In testing on a wiki with about 7000 objects (3500 full pages, 3500
images), a full rebuild continued to take about 5:30, and a refresh
after touching about 350 pages and 350 images reduced from 5:30 to 1:30.
As with my previous optimizations, this change will result in downgrades not
working correctly until the wiki is rebuilt.
Now that dependencies are a list of pagespecs with an implicit "or"
operation, there's no need to try to merge pagespecs under normal use.
ikiwiki-transition contains the only use of the function, so move
it there rather than deleting it entirely (it's used to concatenate all
admins' lists of locked pages).
On a large wiki you can spend a lot of time reading through large lists
of dependencies to see whether files need to be rebuilt (album, with its
one-page-per-photo arrangement, suffers particularly badly from this).
The dependency list is currently a single pagespec, but it's not used like
a normal pagespec - in practice, it's a list of pagespecs joined with the
"or" operator.
Accordingly, change it to be stored as a list of pagespecs. On a wiki
with many tagged photo albums, this reduces the time to refresh after
`touch tags/*.mdwn` from about 31 to 25 seconds.
Getting the benefit of this change on an existing wiki requires a rebuild.
By adding this setting, we get both more configurability, and a minor
optimisation too, since gettext does not need to be called continually
to get the Discussion value.
On various sites I have two IkiWiki instances running from the same
repository: one accessible via http and only accepting openid logins,
and one accessible via authenticated https and only accepting httpauth.
The https version should still pretty-print OpenIDs seen in git history,
even though it does not itself accept OpenID logins.
The test suite was emitting a lot of ugly gettext warnings;
setting LC_ALL didn't solve the problem for all locale setups
(since ikiwiki remaps it to LANG, and ikiwiki didn't know about
the C locale).
People also seem generally annoyed by the messages when
Locale::Gettext is not installed, and I suspect will be
generally happier if it just silently doesn't localize.
The optimisation came about when I noticed that the gettext
sub was doing rather a lot of work each call just to see
if localisation is needed. We can avoid that work by caching,
and the best thing to cache is a version of the gettext sub
that does exactly the right thing.
This was slightly complicated by the locale setting,
which might need to override the original locale (or lack
thereof) after gettext has been called. So it needs to invalidate
the cache in that case. It used to do it via a global variable,
which I am happy to have also gotten rid of.
Do not allow an unterminated """ string to be treated as a series of bare
words. Fixes runaway regexp recursion/backtracking in strange situations.
(See 1d57a21c98 for test case.)
And avoid a whole class of potential security problems (though
none that I know of actually existing..), by avoiding
performing any string interpolation on user-supplied data when translating
pagespecs.
This is sorta an optimisation, and sorta a bug fix. In one
test case I have available, it can speed a page build up from 3
minutes to 3 seconds.
The root of the problem is that $links{$page} contains arrays of
links, rather than hashes of links. And when a link is found,
it is just pushed onto the array, without checking for dups.
Now, the array is emptied before scanning a page, so there
should not be a lot of opportunity for lots of duplicate links
to pile up in it. But, in some cases, they can, and if there
are hundreds of duplicate links in the array, then scanning it
for matching links, as match_link and some other code does,
becomes much more expensive than it needs to be.
Perhaps the real right fix would be to change the data structure
to a hash. But, the list of links is never accessed like that,
you always want to iterate through it.
I also looked at deduping the list in saveindex, but that does
a lot of unnecessary work, and doesn't completly solve the problem.
So, finally, I decided to add an add_link function that handles deduping,
and make ikiwiki-transition remove the old dup links.
This reverts commit 2f96c49bd1.
I forgot about internal pages. We don't want * matching them!
I left the optimisation in pagecount, where it used to live.
Internal pages probably don't matter when they're just being
counted.
* pagespec_match_list: New API function, matches pages in a list
and throws an error if the pagespec is bad.
* inline, brokenlinks, calendar, linkmap, map, orphans, pagecount,
pagestate, postsparkline: Display a handy error message if the pagespec
is erronious.
* Add IkiWiki::ErrorReason objects, and modify pagespecs to return
them in cases where they fail to match due to a configuration or syntax
error.
* inline: Display a handy error message if the inline cannot display any
pages due to such an error.
This is perhaps somewhat incomplete, as other users of pagespecs do not
display the error, and will eventually need similar modifications to inline.
I should probably factor out a pagespec_match_all function and make it throw
ErrorReasons.
The problem was introduced by the recent noextension patches.
Object autovivification caused junk to get into %htmlize,
and all keys of that showed up as page types.
Because getopt::long is used in passthrough mode, if a known
option like --wikiname that needs a parameter is specified w/o
the parameter, it will not be processed, and passed on through.
So in this case the "unknown option" message is innaccurate.
Make it slightly better by noting that the problem can be a missing
parameter.
This modification was initially done in editpage, in commit
a3726968bc, but was then lost while merging
upstream/master branch.

It no longer makes sense to keep these functions in editpage, because
serveral plugins now exist that use them, and users may want to disable
editpage, while leaving those plugins enabled.
Most notably, comments uses both functions, and it's entirely appropriate
to disable editpage but still want to have comments enabled.
Less likely, attachments, rename, and remove all use check_canedit -- but
it would be unusual indeed to want to use these w/o editpage.
It used to replace unknown functions with "0" when translating a pagespec.
Instead, replace it with a FailReason object. This way, the pagespec will
still evaluate as before (possibly successfully if other terminals exist),
but a human-readable error will be shown if the result is displayed.
Also, an empty pagespec used to be replaced with "0", to avoid a eval
error. Also use a FailReason here.
It seems to be a failing of i18n in unix that the translation stops at the
commands and the parameters to them, and ikiwiki is no exception with its
currently untranslated directives. So the little bit that's translated sticks
out like a sore thumb. It also breaks building of wikis if a different locale
happens to be set.
I suppose the best thing to do is either give up on the localisation of this
part completly, or make it recognise English in addition to the locale. I've
tenatively chosen the latter.
(Also accept 1 and 0 as input.)
inline has a format hook that is an optimisation hack. Until this hook
runs, the inlined content is not present on the page. This can prevent
other format hooks, that process that content, from acting on inlined
content. In bug ##509710, we discovered this happened commonly for the
embed plugin, but it could in theory happen for many other plugins (color,
cutpaste, etc) that use format to fill in special html after sanitization.
The ordering was essentially random (hash key order). That's kinda a good
thing, because hooks should be independent of other hooks and able to run
in any order. But for things like inline, that just doesn't work.
To fix the immediate problem, let's make hooks able to be registered as
running "first". There was already the ability to make them run "last".
Now, this simple first/middle/last ordering is obviously not going to work
if a lot of things need to run first, or last, since then we'll be back to
being unable to specify ordering inside those sets. But before worrying about
that too much, and considering dependency ordering, etc, observe how few
plugins use last ordering: Exactly one needs it. And, so far, exactly one
needs first ordering. So for now, KISS.
Another implementation note: I could have sorted the plugins with
first/last/middle as the primary key, and plugin name secondary, to get a
guaranteed stable order. Instead, I chose to preserve hash order. Two
opposing things pulled me toward that decision:
1. Since has order is randomish, it will ensure that no accidental
ordering assumptions are made.
2. Assume for a minute that ordering matters a lot more than expected.
Drastically changing the order a particular configuration uses could
result in a lot of subtle bugs cropping up. (I hope this assumption is
false, partly due to #1, but can't rule it out.)
A malformed pagespec will cause $@ to be set when translated, but if
it is used a second time, the memoization will defeat that check. Better to
check for the result not being defined.
This avoids constructing urls like "./../foo/".
The leading "../" avoids any colon confusion already.
I noticed in my logs that certain badly written web spiders (hello again,
Yahoo!) fail to follow urls like ikiwiki was constructing to the right
place (instead ending up at "./foo/")
Since ikiwiki uses open :utf8, perl assumes that files contain valid utf-8.
If it turns out to be malformed it may later crash while processing strings
read from them, with 'Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)'.
As at least a quick fix, use utf8::valid as soon as data is read, and if
it's not valid, call encode_utf8 on the string, thus clearing the utf-8
flag. This may cause follow-on encoding problems, but will avoid this
crash, and the input file was broken anyway, so GIGO is a reasonable
response. (I looked at calling decode_utf8 after, but it seemed to cause
more trouble than it was worth. BTW, use open ':encoding(utf8)' avaoids
this problem, but the corrupted data later causes Storable to crash when
writing the index.)
This is a quick fix, clearly imperfect:
- It might be better to explicitly call decode_utf8 when reading files,
rather than using the IO layer.
- Data read other than by readfile() can still sneak in bad utf-8. While
ikiwiki does very little file input not using it, stdin for the CGI
would be one way.
This is necessary so that things that fork to the background,
like pinger, and inline ping, don't block other cgis from running.
Note that websetup also calls unlockwiki, before refreshing / rebuilding
the wiki. It makes perfect sense for that not to block other cgis.
* Stop busy-waiting in lockwiki, as this could delay ikiwiki from waking up
for up to one second. The bailout code is no longer needed.
* Remove support for unused optional wait parameter from lockwiki.
This fixes a problem exposed by the recent change to tags
(a2839de936). That recorded tag links as
absolute by including a leading slash in the link. The same could also be
done with an absolute wikilink.
In either case, link() would not match such links, unless the leading slash
was included in the link to match. But that's not right, because pagespecs
match absolute by default. So strip the leading slash.
Note that to keep any existing `link(/foo)` pagespecs working after this
change, the leading slash is removed from there, too.
Add an inject function, that can be used by plugins that want to replace
one of ikiwiki's functions with their own version. (This is a scary thing
that grubs through the symbol table, and replaces all exported occurances
of a function with the injected version.)
external: RPC functions can be injected to replace exported functions.
Removed the stupid displaytime hook, and use injection instead.
Need to use a hook because an exported function cannot be reliably
overridden. The replacement verstion was actually only affecting plugins
loaded after it.
formattime doesn't need a hook, since there's no reason to export it.
This is the easy part of supporting foo/index.mdwn sources for page foo.
Note that if foo.mdwn exists too, there will be a warning about multiple
sources for the same page, and which is used is indeterminate.
indexpages should also cause web based editing to create index source pages
by default; this and other fallout of the option not yet implemented.
Upgrades to the new index format should be transparent.
The version field is 3, because 1 was the old textual index, 2 was the
pre-versioned format.
This also includes some efficiency improvements to index loading, by
not copying a hash and using a reference.
Setting the values in the setup file by default makes it annoyingly hard to
override them at the command line (since setup files override the command
line).
Both default to off if no value is set.
Move rcs plugin load to loadplugins; move duplicate rcs detection logic out
of individual plugins and into loadplugins. Avoids checkconfig failing when
run twice.
The fix for colons involved adding "./" to some urls. Due to the weird way
inline called urlto, these snuck into feed urls and permalinks. Fix it by
adding an optional third parameter to urlto.

I didn't think that through far enough; beautify_url may be called on full
urls, which don't start with "/"!
Conflicts:

So the problem is that ikiwiki would generate a relative link like
href="colon:problem", which web browsers treat as being in the "colon:"
uri scheme.
The best fix seems to be to make url beautification fix this, by slapping
a "./" in front.
* The editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title, in its
'page' cgi parameter. Using the title was ambiguous and made it
impossible to tell between some pages, like "foo/bar" and "foo__47__bar",
sometimes causing the wrong page to be edited.
* This change means that some edit links need to be updated.
Force a rebuild on upgrade to this version.
* Above change also allowed really fixing escaped slashes from the blogpost
form.
This special case crops up when generating the parentlink to the toplevel
index page. urlto("") had been generating a link to "./" (or "../" etc)
for that, which is fine, if the web server redirects that to the toplevel
index.html. It's less fine if there is no web server.
I actually ran into the problem first when using gopher. (Yes, yes, don't
laugh.. see upcoming tip.) But it also crops up when browsing local wiki
files.
Of course, the index.html is stripped back off if usedirs is enabled.
Because the search plugin needed it, also because it's one of the few
plugins that didn't already have it.
I also considered adding it to htmlize, but I really cannot imagine caring
what the destpage is when htmlizing. (I'll probably be poven wrong later.)
<mxey> I have a weird problem with Ikiwiki on FreeBSD: When rendering this page <http://rafb.net/p/zmfROX86.html>, I get "ikiwiki.setup: Modification of a read-only value attempted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki.pm line 1300.".
And converting the constructors to not operate on the parameters directly
but use lexical variables fixed it. Not sure exactly when this occurs.
This manifested as wikis with no locked pages treating them all as locked.
The bug was introduced in version 2.41.
Medium urgency upload due to above fix.
During refresh of a wiki with 800 files, loadindex was using more total
time than any other function, and saveindex was also in the top ten.
Rewriting them to use Storable makes them three times as fast.
0.7 seconds is saved on my laptop in profiling mode.
About 12% of ikiwiki runtime was spent in pagespec_match. It was evaling
the same pagespec code over and over again. This changes pagespec_translate
to return memoized, precompiled functions that can be called to match against
a given pagespec.
This also allows getting rid of the weird variable scoping trick that had
to be in effect for pagespec_translate to be called -- the variables are
now just fed into the function it returns.
On my laptop, this drops build time for the docwiki from about 60 to 50
seconds.

* meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be

* Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
This makes it a lot quicker to deal with lots of recentchanges pages
appearing and disappearing. It avoids needing to clutter up pagespecs with
exclusions for those pages, by making normal pagespecs not match them.
Can't use htmllink in userlink due to it being called from recentchanges

to not linkify user names in this case. I don't think I've ever clicked on such
a link anyway.
Might revisit this later.
