[p4] Printing name of original author

[p4user_2011]

Posted on behalf of forum user 'p4user_2011'.

Hi

I would like to print name of original author of each line of my source code in
p4. I could not find an option in p4 print command to do that. Is there a way to
do this ?

For example a file containing following -

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("Hello world\n");
printf("Hellor world from me : user2\n");
}

should come out like -

>user1 : #include <stdio.h>
>user1 :
>user1 : main()
>user1 : {
>user1 : printf("Hello world\n");
>user2 : printf("Hello world\n");
>user1 : }

You can use "p4 annotate" to find the version number when the change
was made, but I don't believe it lists the author. You probably have
to run "p4 filelog" to get the name of the user who submitted that
particular revision.

That means you can write a script to do this for you, but it also
means you HAVE to roll your own script to do just this.

This is true. P4V runs a 'p4 filelog' as well as 'p4 annotate' to build the GUI for the 'Time-lapse View'. Which is another option if you don't need this information displayed in Text. The Time-lapse View tool displays the author of the change for each line/section.

-c and -i for annotate might be of some help here.

The -c flag tells annotate to output change numbers rather than
revision numbers with each line.

The -i flag follows branches. If a file was created by branching
'p4 annotate' includes the revisions of the source file up to the
branch point

p4 annotate build.xml | \ awk 'BEGIN{getline};cmd="p4 -ztag
filelog " F; \ while (cmd | getline) { if (match($0,"^...
rev")) R=$3; else if (match($0,"^... user"))

You could do this in a POSIX environment:
p4 annotate build.xml | \ awk 'BEGIN{getline};cmd="p4 -ztag
filelog " F; \ while (cmd | getline) { if (match($0,"^...
rev")) R=$3; else if (match($0,"^... user"))
U[R]=$3}; close cmd}; \ {
R=substr($0,1,index($0,":")-1);
sub("^[0-9]:",""); printf "%s
(%s):\t%s\n", U[R], R, $0}' \ F=file.name
which produces results like,
(...) p4username_foo (1): <fail unless="build.number"
message="Please define build.number=0 or a more reasonable build
number" /> p4username_foo (1): p4username_bar (2): <property
name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/lib" />
p4username_bar (2): <property name="main.dir"
value="${basedir}/main" /> (...)

p4 changes -i <file_name> and look for the person who submitted the
first revision.
