This reverts the more recent commit (of two) entitled "build:
add configure-time --enable-gcc-warnings option; avoid warnings".
Pádraig Brady spotted the contradiction between the log message
and actual change.
This reverts commit 292d68565a.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Clarify any
ambiguity in regard to the direction of input and output settings.
Add some notes on the case changing settings.
Most of the text was supplied by Dan Jacobson.
* src/timeout.c (apply_time_suffix): Change input parameter from
unsigned int to unsigned long, which is the type of the variable it's
actually manipulating. This removes the need for the cast which was
giving a warning with the gcc options: -fstrict-aliasing
-Wstrict-aliasing. Also add a check for overflow possible on 16-bit
platforms, and fix indents.
(main): Remove a redundant cast in the alarm() call.
* src/du.c (usage): Update --help output.
(main): Move -H-handling code from the --si block to
the one for --dereference-args (-D).
* doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Update description.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention this.
* tests/chmod/silent: New file, to test all three programs.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add chmod/silent.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
The bug was introduced in 96a5d2ce6a.
when the file name list is not too large. Before, wc would always read
the entire file name list into memory and *then* process each file name.
wc does read the list into memory when the list is known not to be too
large; this is done in order to be able to align the output numbers,
as it does with arguments specified on the command-line
* src/wc.c: Include "argv-iter.h".
(main): Rewrite to use argv-iter when the input file name list
is known to be too large.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
rather than by reading the entire input into memory and *then*
processing each file name.
* src/du.c: Include "argv-iter.h", not "readtokens0.h".
(main): Rewrite to use argv-iter.
Call xfts_open on each argument, rather than on the entire
argv list at once.
Call print_size here, not from du_files.
Diagnose read failure.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* THANKS: update.
Reported by Barry Kelly. More details in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/15159/
* src/system.h (DZA_CONCAT0, DZA_CONCAT): New macros.
(DECLARE_ZEROED_AGGREGATE): New macro.
* src/ls.c (quote_name): Use it.
* src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Use it.
* src/shred.c (main): Use it.
* src/stty.c (main): Use it.
* src/wc.c (SUPPORT_OLD_MBRTOWC): Use it.
* gl/lib/argv-iter.h: New file.
* gl/lib/argv-iter.c: New file.
* gl/modules/argv-iter: New file.
With a suggestion for improved memory management by Pádraig Brady.
doc/coretuils.texi: Refactor shuf, sort and uniq --zero-terminated
option to use the same text. Also refer to NUL characters as
@acronym{ASCII} @sc{nul} consistently.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Fix remaining violations.
* doc/Makefile.am (sc-lower-case-var): New rule.
Add some command-suppressing "@" directives so that a successful
"make check" run is less noisy.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Describe the most common
usage of --files0-from=- to read names from stdin.
* src/du.c: Likewise.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.
* src/wc.c: Likewise.
* tests/dd/reblock: Change the IPC mechanism to the dd process
under test, from pipes to fifos. Also change the delay
between data writes to 0.2s for both tests.
This should increase the chance that the dd process
will read the data chunks separately.
* coreutils.texi (multiplierSuffixes, multiplierSuffixesNoBlocks):
New macros.
(od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation, split invocation):
(truncate invocation): Use them.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Use @var{n} consistently,
not a mix of that and @var{bytes}. Reported by anonymous
in <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24934>.
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Move the list of regular,
non-file-system, format directives from the description of --terse,
out of the enclosing table.
* src/getlimits.c: A utility to print platform dependent
limits in a format suitable for use in shell scripts.
* src/Makefile.am: Add getlimits to list of utilities
to build but not install. Also add it to the list linked
with libiconv
* po/POTFILES.in: Add getlimits to translation list.
* src/dd.c (scanargs): When not otherwise required (e.g. for
conversion), use two-buffer mode only when the input and output
buffer sizes differ. Before, some of the most basic invocations of
dd, e.g., dd < in > out, would unnecessarily use separate buffers
and perform memory copies between them.
cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily.
cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the
source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the
command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld.
Details <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/15081>.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering
name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link.
Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified
on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree.
Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set.
* NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it.
* tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.
