perf: introduce safeattrsetter to replace direct attribute assignment
Referring not-existing attribute immediately causes failure, but
assigning a value to such attribute doesn't.
For example, perf.py has code paths below, which assign a value to
not-existing attribute. This causes incorrect performance measurement,
but these code paths are executed successfully.
- "repo._tags = None" in perftags()
recent Mercurial has tags cache information in repo._tagscache
- "branchmap.write = lambda repo: None" in perfbranchmap()
branchmap cache is written out by branchcache.write() in branchmap.py
"util.safehasattr() before assignment" can avoid this issue, but might
increase mistake at "copy & paste" attribute name or so.
To centralize (1) examining existence of, (2) assigning a value to,
and (3) restoring an old value to the attribute, this patch introduces
safeattrsetter(). This is used to replace direct attribute assignment
in subsequent patches.
Encapsulation of restoring is needed to completely remove direct
attribute assignment from perf.py, even though restoring isn't needed
so often.
Corrupt an hg repo with a pull started during an aborted commit
Create two repos, so that one of them can pull from the other one.
$ hg init source
$ cd source
$ touch foo
$ hg add foo
$ hg ci -m 'add foo'
$ hg clone . ../corrupted
updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ echo >> foo
$ hg ci -m 'change foo'
Add a hook to wait 5 seconds and then abort the commit
$ cd ../corrupted
$ echo "[hooks]" >> .hg/hgrc
$ echo 'pretxncommit = sh -c "sleep 5; exit 1"' >> .hg/hgrc
start a commit...
$ touch bar
$ hg add bar
$ hg ci -m 'add bar' &
... and start a pull while the commit is still running
$ sleep 1
$ hg pull ../source 2>/dev/null
pulling from ../source
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: pretxncommit hook exited with status 1
