* src/expr.c (main): Given a first argument like -22 (negative, with
two or more digits), expr would decrement optind to 0 and then attempt
to evaluate argv[0].
* doc/coreutils.texi (tsort invocation, tsort background): Move these
nodes "down", so that they follow the ptx nodes, thus matching the
alphabetized order in the menu.
(tsort background): Make this a subsection.
Suggested by Karl Berry.
* src/Makefile.am (check): Remove check-misc.
(check-misc): Remove target.
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks): New target.
(sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): New target.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks.
* .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks: New file.
Andreas Schwab reported that "make check" could fail to detect
violation of the no-S_IS*-definition policy.
This option was never supported in upstream coreutils.
* chcon.c (usage): Remove --change (-c) from help message.
(main): Remove 'c' from getopt string.
Remove related and now-unused enums.
* tests/install/strip-program: Use $PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL,
not POSIX_SHELL. The latter may be empty, and would fail
on OpenBSD 3.9.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Propagate
PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL to tests.
* src/timeout.c (main): Use "error", not perror.
Elbert Pol noticed a build failure on OS/2.
* src/timeout.c (main): Exit 125 (not errno) upon failed fork.
Make the failed fork diagnostic match the one from install.c.
* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.
* src/sort.c (usage): Remove mna reference to strverscmp(3).
(compare_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.
* bootstrap.conf: Add filevercmp to list of gnulib modules.
* tests/misc/sort-version: Remove conflicting string and enhance test.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently):
Remove function, so as not to have to worry about the type of
statfs.f_type and sign extension.
(dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): Adjust comment.
Perform the switch directly on the struct.member here, instead.
Andreas Schwab spotted the potential for a sign-extension bug,
that happens not to bite for the S_* f_type values currently used.
The preprocessing phase is not necessary on tmpfs, and induces
a 20% performance decrease when removing a 2M-entry directory.
* src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently):
(dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): New functions from gnulib/fts.c.
They'll probably become a gnulib module -- eventually.
(preprocess_dir): Use dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful.
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Don't switch c_strtold -> strtold
in order to accommodate the locale-dependent behavior of our internal
asprintf use. Instead, simply set the locale to C before calling
asprintf, and then set it back afterwards.
This enhancement works around a problem that is specific to at least
ext3 and ext4 file systems. With them, it would take hours to remove
a two-million-entry directory. RAM-backed file systems (tmpfs) are
not affected, since there is no seek penalty.
* remove.c (rm_malloc, rm_free, compare_ino): New functions.
(dirent_count, preprocess_dir): New function.
[struct readdir_data]: New struct.
(remove_cwd_entries): Call preprocess_dir.
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: New file. Test for the performance fix.
* NEWS: mention the new feature
(obstack_chunk_alloc, obstack_chunk_free): Don't define.
(top_dir): Param is no longer "const".
Use malloc, not xmalloc, and call longjmp upon failed malloc.
(obstack_init_minimal): New function.
(ds_init): Don't use xmalloc. Instead, use caller-supplied buffer.
Use obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg, not obstack_init, so
that we control what happens upon allocation failure.
Arrange for ds_free not to free uninitialized if/when
any obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg allocation fails.
(ds_free): Don't free DS, now that it's no longer malloc'd.
(rm): Allocate DS on the stack.
Arrange to handle ds_init allocation failure.
step1
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use strtold, not c_strtold to convert
from just-formatted-using-asprintf string back to double, since
asprintf may have used something other than "." as the decimal point.
Reported by lsof@nodata.co.uk as <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/463556>.
Thanks to Ondřej Vašík for discovering that the bug was locale-related.
$ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0
[Exit 1]
$ seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0
2.0
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add LOCALE_FR_UTF8, for...
* tests/misc/seq [locale-dec-pt]: New test for the above.
* NEWS (bug fix): Mention it.
'-a' is equivalent to -dpR, so s/-dpPR/-dpR/; the -P is redundant,
since -d already implies -P, and both --help and "info cp" say -dpR:
Corresponding doc changes: 080ac77850b7c2db6766.
* src/Makefile.am (cu_install_program): New variable, set to
either ./ginstall or @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ (for cross compilation).
(INSTALL_PROGRAM): Override AC_SUBST unconditionally, to avoid
warning, and wrong initialization order.
