RE: "Unable to parse reversed revision range" when merging from trunk to branch

I narrowed it down to the code in subversion/libsvn_subr/mergeinfo.c line 892-898 in adjust_remaining_ranges. At that point next_range actually starts before modified_range, so my guess is svn_sort__array_insert has some unexpected behaviour.

   x892 svn_merge_range_t *new_modified_range = x
   x893 apr_palloc(result_pool, sizeof(*new_modified_range)); x
   x894 new_modified_range->start = next_range->end; x
   x895 new_modified_range->end = modified_range->end; x
   x896 new_modified_range->inheritable = FALSE; x
   x897 modified_range->end = next_range->start; x
   x898 (*range_index)+=2; x
>x899 svn_sort__array_insert(rangelist, &new_modified_range, x
                                          *range_index); x
   x901 /* Recurse with the new range. */ x
   x902 adjust_remaining_ranges(rangelist, range_index, result_pool); x
   
Intuitively it seems to be awfully complicated to expand a range to the end of a change, and then cut it down recursively with adjust_remaining_ranges. My first thought would be to step through "rangelist" and "changes" side by side in svn_rangelist_merge2, and to modify, insert or skip a range in either list until you're at the end. Though obviously I have no idea about all the edge cases the current code most likely fixes...

So how should I proceed from here? Should I open a bug with my findings and the test case?

The problem seems to come from svn_rangelist_merge2.

This test program recreates the problem.

#include <svn_pools.h>
#include <svn_mergeinfo.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    apr_pool_t *pool;
    int exit_code = EXIT_SUCCESS;
    svn_error_t *err;
    
    if (svn_cmdline_init("svn", stderr) != EXIT_SUCCESS)
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    
    pool = apr_allocator_owner_get(svn_pool_create_allocator(FALSE));
    
    // 15014-19472,19473-19612*,19613-19614,19615-19630*,19631-19634,19635-20055*
    svn_rangelist_t * rangelist = apr_array_make(pool, 1, sizeof(svn_merge_range_t *));
    svn_merge_range_t *mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 15013;
    mrange->end = 19472;
    mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 19472;
    mrange->end = 19612;
    mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 19612;
    mrange->end = 19614;
    mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 19614;
    mrange->end = 19630;
    mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 19630;
    mrange->end = 19634;
    mrange->inheritable = TRUE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 19634;
    mrange->end = 20055;
    mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(rangelist, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    // 15014-20515*
    svn_rangelist_t * changes = apr_array_make(pool, 1, sizeof(svn_merge_range_t *));
    mrange = apr_pcalloc(pool, sizeof(*mrange));
    mrange->start = 15013;
    mrange->end = 20515;
    mrange->inheritable = FALSE;
    APR_ARRAY_PUSH(changes, svn_merge_range_t *) = mrange;
    
    {
        svn_string_t * tmpString;
        svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, rangelist, pool);
        printf("rangelist %s\n", tmpString->data);
    }
    {
        svn_string_t * tmpString;
        svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, changes, pool);
        printf("changes %s\n", tmpString->data);
    }
    
    svn_rangelist_merge2(rangelist, changes, pool, pool);
    
    {
        svn_string_t * tmpString;
        svn_rangelist_to_string(&tmpString, rangelist, pool);
        printf("result %s\n", tmpString->data);
    }
    
    // wrong result
    // result 15014-19472,19473-19612*,19613-19614,19615-19630*,19634-19631*,19631-19634,19635-20515*
    
    svn_pool_destroy(pool);
    return exit_code;
}

So while this correctly expands the last range from 20055 to 20515 it inserts a wrong inverse range. It’s a bit late, I’ll have a look tomorrow unless someone beats me to it. ;)
