* src/sort.c (general_numcompare): Use long doubles unconditionally,
and strtold when available, to convert numbers with greater range and
precision. Performance was seen to be on par with standard doubles.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Amend the -g description to
mention long double rather than double, and strtold rather than strtod.
* src/getlimits.c (main): Output floating point limits for use in tests.
* tests/misc/sort-float: A new test to ensure sort is using long
doubles when possible, and that locale specific floats are handled.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* tests/test-lib.sh (getlimits_): Normalize indenting.
* NEWS: Mention the new behaviour.
Reported by Nelson Beebe.
The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts
cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly.
* cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): Set
the exit code in signal handler explicitly to 128 + SIG<SIGNAL>.
* src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines.
perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$')
* tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts.
* tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts
Suggested by Eric Blake.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_enforcing_): New function.
* tests/mkdir/selinux: Use it.
Otherwise, this test would fail on Rawhide with SELinux disabled.
* NEWS: Document the new feature.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check if inotify is present.
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): New function.
(main): Use the inotify-based function, if possible.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new tests for tail.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_proc_pid_status_, get_process_status_):
New functions.
* tests/tail-2/pid: New file.
* tests/tail-2/wait: New file.
* tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Refactor code into the test-lib.sh
require_proc_pid_status_ function.
* tests/test-lib.sh (skip_if_setgid_): New function.
* tests/setgid-check: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setgid-check.
* tests/chmod/c-option: Use the new function rather than sourcing
the separate file.
* tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
* tests/install/install-C: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/perm: Now that this test is no longer always skipped,
make it work independently of ls: use stat, not ls, to get perm string.
* test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): Use stat, not ls to get perm string
This test was run only when RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes was set.
* tests/Coreutils.pm: Add function to make limits available
* tests/test-lib.sh: ditto
* tests/misc/join: Check for both SIZE_OFLOW and UINTMAX_OFLOW
rather than using arbitrary 2^128
* tests/misc/sort: ditto
* tests/misc/uniq: ditto
* tests/misc/printf: Check for both INT_OFLOW and INT_UFLOW
rather than using arbitrary -2^31
* tests/misc/seq-long-double: Check for INTMAX_OFLOW
rather than using arbitrary 2^63
* tests/misc/split-fail: Check --lines --bytes and --line-bytes
options limits on all platforms. Note getlimits obviates the
need to use expr to check if 32 bit integers are supported,
which I think was invalid anyway as expr now supports bignum?
* tests/misc/test: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW rather than
using arbitrary 2^64 and 2^128. Check for INTMAX_UFLOW
rather than using arbitrary -2^64
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Check for UINT_OFLOW
rather than using arbitrary 2^32
* tests/misc/truncate-overflow: Don't depend on truncate
to determine if we're on a 32 or 64 bit platform and
instead use the various OFF_T limits
* tests/misc/sort-merge: Check for UINTMAX_OFLOW
rather than using arbitrary 2^64+1
* tests/misc/unexpand: ditto
* tests/test-lib.sh (remove_tmp_, skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_):
Avoid failure on Solaris 11, since their /bin/sh passes the tests
in posix-shell.m4, yet does not support "local" (which is not POSIX).
* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63
* tests/**: Convert all uses:
This restrictive change converted the vast majority:
git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^\(exit \$fail\); exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/'
And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually
backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk:
git grep -l -E '\(exit [^)]+\); exit ' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/\(exit (.+?)\); exit \1/Exit $1/'
* tests/test-lib.sh (skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_): New function,
extracted from...
* tests/misc/chcon: ...here. Use function, not open-coded test.
* tests/misc/selinux: Use the function here, too.
Require root, not non-root.
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add misc/selinux.
* tests/sparse-file: Remove file Move contents into ...
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_sparse_support_): ...here. New function.
* tests/cp/sparse: Use the function, not the file.
* tests/du/8gb: Likewise.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove sparse-file.
I.e., also for Perl-based tests; not just the ones using test-lib.sh.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Source envvar-check here, ...
* tests/test-lib.sh: ...not here.
* tests/test-lib.sh (working_umask_or_skip_): New function, from...
* tests/umask-check: ...here. Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove umask-check.
* tests/mkdir/perm: Use the function rather than sourcing the file.
* tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise.
* tests/cp/parent-perm: Likewise.
Bruno Haible reported that parent-perm was failing to run umask-check.
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:
-. $srcdir/../lang-default
+. $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/test-lib.sh (require_readable_root_): New function.
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Skip this test when / is unreadable.
* tests/du/slash: Likewise.
This is required at least for Mandrake/Mandriva in "secure" mode.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12800
* tests/strace: Remove file.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_strace_): New function.
* tests/mv/atomic: Use require_strace_, rather than ". strace".
* tests/ls/stat-free-symlinks: Likewise.
Peter Fales reported that stat-free-symlinks failed without strace.
* tests/priv-check: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove priv-check.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_root_): New function.
Use this function rather than sourcing the priv-check file.
* tests/sample-test: Use require_root_ rather than priv-check.
* tests/chown/basic: Likewise.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Likewise.
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Likewise.

* tests/touch/now-owned-by-other: Likewise.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use skip_if_root_ rather than priv-check.
* Makefile.maint (sc_root_tests): Reflect this change:
search for the new function name.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Use the mktemp binary we've just built,
not the mkdtemp script.
* tests/mkdtemp: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove mkdtemp.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_ulimit_): New function.
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Use ulimit -v to trigger the fixed bug,
and rather than checking printf's exit status (which would go wrong
on FreeBSD 6.1, since their printf(3) function doesn't require
lots of memory in this case) simply test whether it outputs
the first 10 bytes.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_): New function.
* tests/misc/chcon: Use it.
* tests/misc/selinux: Use it here, too.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: and here.
* tests/selinux: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove selinux.
Reported by Mike Frysinger and Bauke Jan Douma.
* build-aux/check.mk: New file, from The Vaucanson Group.
* .x-sc_GPL_version: New file, to allow "version 2 or later"
in build-aux/check.mk.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_GPL_version.

were previously derived from the "sample-test" template.

to get the parallel-"make check" bits.
Move a slow test into tests/misc.
* tests/check.mk: Wrapper.
* tests/ls/time-1: Move this file to tests/misc/ls-time.
* tests/misc/ls-time: New file. From tests/ls/time-1.
