hunks.rs

1//! Diff hunks: the structured form of a unified diff, and the parser that
2//! produces it.
3//!
4//! A single `git diff --unified=N` output is just text, but everything that
5//! consumes it wants the same shape: a list of hunks, each tagged with its
6//! file and the line ranges it touches, and each line tagged with whether it
7//! was added, removed, or context. Parsing this once, here, means the callers
8//! (`mod.rs` queries, the payload renderer) never re-parse git's output and
9//! never have to ask "what does `+++ /dev/null` mean again".
10//!
11//! The parser is deliberately tolerant. A diff that cannot be parsed must not
12//! take the gate down — it is much better to ship a partial answer than no
13//! answer — so anything not recognised is skipped rather than erroring.
14//!
15//! Deliberately **free of drep policy**: this module answers "what does this
16//! diff say", not "which files does drep review". Whether a path is worth
17//! analyzing is a product decision, and it lives with the other git-semantics
18//! decisions in `mod.rs` beside `filter_paths`. Keeping it out of here
19//! is what lets the parser serve a future caller with a different scope (an
20//! `include`/`exclude` config, `lint-docs`) without threading a predicate
21//! through it.

149///
150/// Tolerant by design: anything it does not recognise is skipped rather than
151/// erroring, because a diff that cannot be parsed must not take the gate down.
152/// The intentional quirks:
153///
154/// - **The file path comes from `+++ b/…`, never from `diff --git a/… b/…`.**
155///   The git header carries two paths on one line with no unambiguous
156///   separator, so any "find `b/`" rule captures the wrong span for a
157///   repository path that itself contains `b/` (`src/b/mod.rs`). The Python
158///   `diff_parser.py` this replaces had exactly that bug.
159/// - `+++ /dev/null` marks a deletion; there is nothing to analyze, so the
160///   file's hunks are dropped.
161/// - **Inside a hunk body the first byte alone decides the line kind.** Lines
162///   starting `---` or `+++` are *not* additionally skipped: those headers
163///   appear only before the first `@@` of a file, and a removed source line
164///   whose own text begins with `--` arrives as `---…`. Skipping it silently
165///   drops real removed code — the second bug in the Python.
166/// - `\ No newline at end of file` refers to the preceding line and never
167///   becomes a `HunkLine`.
168/// - A malformed `@@` terminates the current hunk without its body being
169///   attributed to the previous one.
