Subject: [PATCH] userdiff: improve java regex for generic return types
Date: Mon,  9 Aug 2021 22:33:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210809203308.30128-1-tsdh@gnu.org> (raw)

Currently, the git diff hunk headers show the wrong method signature if the
method has a generic return type because the regex doesn't allow < and > in the
return type.  This patch adds those.

Bug repro: In a repository with .gitattributes containing "*.java diff=java"
and a java file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
class MyExample {
    public void firstMethod() {
        // Whatever...
    }

    public List<Integer> secondMethod() {
        // Here is some comment,
        // and here is more,
        // and here is even more,
        // followed by this,
        // and that,
        // and even more.
        return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
    }
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

when adding the number 6 to the Arrays.asList() call in secondMethod(), the git
diff one gets is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/src/main/java/MyExample.java b/src/main/java/MyExample.java
index a0f1a6b..ea37a98 100644
--- a/src/main/java/MyExample.java
+++ b/src/main/java/MyExample.java
@@ -14,6 +14,6 @@ public void firstMethod() {
         // followed by this,
         // and that,
         // and even more.
-        return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
+        return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
     }
 }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where the hunk header shows the signature of firstMethod whereas it should show
the signature of secondMethod.
