date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date
rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this:
date: invalid date '\260'
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest for fixed parse-datetime.y.
* tests/misc/date [invalid-high-bit-set]: New test.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* bootstrap, tests/init.sh: Also update to latest.
Reported by Peter Evans in http://bugs.gnu.org/11843
Exempt lines with '$' or '=', since those are prone to improper
conversion. Run this:
git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests \
|xargs perl -pi -e '/[=\$]/ and next;s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g'
Thanks to an improvement in gnulib's parse-datetime module,
commands like this now succeed (output manually indented):
$ ./date -u -d 2004-02-29T16:21:42.33+07:00 +%FT%T.%N%z
2004-02-29T09:21:42.330000000+0000
* tests/misc/date: Add a test to exercise the new-in-gnulib
parsing of ISO8601-with-"T" dates.
* NEWS (New features): Mention it.
* gnulib: Update, to pull in this parse-datetime improvement.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Save and restore TMPDIR around
envvar-check, so that the few scripts that require $TMPDIR don't fail.
This is also good to let a user's default TMPDIR setting be used e.g.,
in the search for an 'other-partition'.
FIXME: this is pretty ugly. maybe undo it and find a better way.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Invoke perl scripts with $(PERL), and use -T
if the script requires that. Otherwise, use $(SHELL).
* tests/misc/md5sum-newline: Create a file whose name contains
a newline in Perl (resort to using "system", since open refuses).
Fix old brokenness exposed by this change:
* tests/du/files0-from: Correct test not to rely on stdin
being attached to a non-tty.
* tests/misc/sort (3g, 3h, 3i): Likewise: add explicit empty input file.
Avoid warnings about using qw()-around-commas.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Now that this test is run from a temporary
subdirectory, adjust the full name of the "rm" program we're going
to run.
Change #!/bin/sh to #!/usr/bin/perl, and factor out the few lines
of boilerplate code to invoke perl. Do not "require 5.00x";
a configure-time Perl test handles that

One side-effect of this change is that "make check" now works even if
you put "." early in your shell's search PATH (don't do that!).
Remove all test-related Makefile.am files, except those generated
by mk-script. Instead, tests/Makefile.am now lists not only the
tests directly under tests/, but also those in tests/*/ that are
not generated by mk-script, e.g., cp/abuse, cp/acl, mv/i-1, etc.
A lot of these changes are like this:

+. $top_srcdir/tests/lang-default
-. $srcdir/../test-lib.sh
+. $top_srcdir/tests/test-lib.sh
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove corresponding Makefiles.
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Relax syntax requirements.
* tests/rwx-to-mode: Remove file. Rewritten as...
* tests/test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): ...this new function.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rwx-to-mode.
(SUBDIRS): Remove each dir with a removed Makefile.am.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add $(TESTS).
(TESTS): Add over 300 entries.
* tests/CuTmpdir.pm: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add CuTmpdir.pm.

not "../../src/test", so it works when run from a subdirectory.
* tests/ls-2/tests: Create temp files and dirs from within the perl
script, so that they're removed, when run from a subdirectory.
portable in theory (it doesn't work on hosts where 'int' is 64
bits, example) or in practice (Solaris 8 localtime returns garbage
in tm_year for the specified date, but that's not coreutils's
fault).
you get on a system with 32-bit time_t is not the same as
the one you get for a system where it's 64 bits wide:
- date: time 72057594037927935 is out of range
+ date: invalid date `@72057594037927935'
tests/date/date-tests had becoming far too large (over 350KB),
so use the superior-but-perl-requiring framework instead.
* tests/date/Test.pm: Move new tests from here...
* tests/misc/date: ...to this new file.
