This saves time in the usual case, which does not need -lcrypto.
* configure.ac (DLOPEN_LIBCRYPTO): New macro.
* src/sort.c [DLOPEN_LIBCRYPTO && HAVE_OPENSSL_MD5]: New macros
MD5_Init, MD5_Update, MD5_Final. Include "md5.h" after defining
them. Include <dlfcn.h>, and define new functions link_failure
and symbol_address.
(link_libcrypto): New function.
(random_md5_state_init): Call it before using crypto functions.
When recursively copying files into OS trees, it often happens that
some subdirectory of the source directory is a symlink in the target
directory. Currently, cp will fail in that scenario with the error:
"cannot overwrite non-directory %s with directory %s"
However, we'd like cp in this scenario to follow the destination
directory symlink and copy the files into the symlinked directory
instead. Let's support this by adding a new option
--keep-directory-symlink that makes cp follow destination directory
symlinks.
We name the option --keep-directory-symlink to keep consistent with
tar which has the same option with the same effect.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new option.
* src/copy.h: Add the new setting.
* src/copy.h: Adjust to follow symlinks if setting enabled.
* src/cp.c (usage): Describe the new option.
(main): Accept the new option.
* tests/cp/keep-directory-symlink.sh: A new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* src/ls.c (decode_switches): Remove pragmas. They are no longer
needed to pacify GCC 13.2.1 with --enable-gcc-checking, and there’s
little point keeping them around for older GCC versions.
* gl/lib/fadvise.c: Remove pragma that works around GCC bug 83559
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83559>.
This bug was fixed in GCC 9, and we needn’t worry about
--enable-gcc-warnings for compilers that old.
* src/test.c: Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Fix the example
to correctly close file descriptor 3.
* THANKS.in: Remove old email since now recorded in repo history.
Reported at https://bugs.debian.org/1063837
* src/env.c (parse_signal_action_params, parse_signal_block_params):
Rename OPTARG to ARG so that it does not conflict with OPTARG used by
getopt.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes
* configure.ac: Ensure the compiler can promote 16 bit floating point
types to float, before enabling that code in od. This was an issue
with clang 16 at least.
* src/od.c: Adjust for the new defines.
* tests/od/od-float.sh: Likewise. Also port to the dash shell,
whose inbuilt printf doesn't support hex escapes.
This was introduced in coreutils 9.2 through commit v9.1-184-g40bf1591b,
and was fixed in coreutils 9.5 through commit v9.4-111-gc4c5ed8f4.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2024-0684.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Add a test case.
Reported by Valentin Metz.
ulimit -v is generally not supported with ASAN, giving errors like:
"ReserveShadowMemoryRange failed while trying to map 0x... bytes.
Perhaps you're using ulimit -v"
* tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Mention ASAN as a possible reason for skipping.
* tests/csplit/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise.
* tests/cut/cut-huge-range.sh: Likewise.
* tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise.
* tests/printf/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.
* tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise.
* tests/head/head-c.sh: Only skip the part of the test needing ulimit.
* tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Likewise.
* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Do not shrink hold buffer.
If it’s large for this batch it’s likely to be large for the next
batch, and for ‘split’ it’s not worth the complexity/CPU hassle to
shrink it. Do not assume hold_size can be bufsize.
* src/date.c (res_width): This function computes its result solely
from the value of its parameter and qualifies for the const attribute.
* src/tee.c (get_next_out): This function has no side effect and
qualifies for the pure attribute.
* THANKS.in: Remove duplicate now that author has a commit in the repo.
Those two functions were flagged by GCC 12.3.0,
though not by GCC 13.2.1.
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years
are the only change from the previous gnulib commit.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Manually update copyright year,
until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* configure.ac: Clang now seems to have -Wformat-extra-args,
-Wimplicit-const-int-float-conversion, and
-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare on by default,
so disable them even if --enable-gcc-warnings is not used.
Rely on Gnulib’s check for clang rather than rolling our own.
* gl/lib/strnumcmp-in.h (numcompare): After commit v9.0-8-g6cafb122f,
we need to treat characters as signed to avoid invalid comparisons
between negative integers and unsigned characters.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Following on from v9.4-86-g615167cc4,
adjust this test accordingly. This test was being skipped
on some systems, and so only noticed now.
Reported by Jim Meyering.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Determine the thousands grouping character
in use, rather than skipping locale tests when it's not a space.
For example fr_FR.UTF-8 uses "NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE" as the grouping
char on modern glibc systems at least.
* tests/sort/sort-h-thousands-sep.sh: Likewise.
chown is a close superset of chgrp functionality,
so merge sources to avoid unwanted divergence in future.
This removes about 300 lines in chgrp.c
* build-aux/gen-single-binary.sh: Generate new rules for chgrp.
* cfg.mk: Exclude new wrappers.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove chgrp.c
* src/chgrp.c: Remove.
* src/chown-chgrp.c: New wrapper.
* src/chown-chown.c: Likewise.
* src/chown.c (main): Prepend ':' for chgrp(1).
* src/chown.h: Define both operating modes.
(usage): Adjust depending on utility being called.
* src/coreutils-chgrp.c: Likewise.
* src/local.mk: Reference new wrappers.
Do not perform SELinux context translation for operations not involving
user input or output. Context translation converts MCS/MLS labels into
human readable form, which is useful for user facing applications like
ls(1) or the --context=CTX argument of cp(1).
* src/copy.c (set_process_security_ctx): Use raw selinux variants.
* src/install.c (need_copy): Likewise.
(setdefaultfilecon): Likewise.
* src/selinux.c (computecon): Likewise.
(defaultcon): Likewise.
* tests/cp/no-ctx.sh: Add raw variants to preload lib.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Reference the related --update
option, like we had already done in mv invocation.
* src/cp.c (usage): State clearly what --no-clobber does,
indicating it's protection focused, rather than being update focused.
* doc/coreutils.texi (chown invocation): Convert --from option
description to a macro and call from ...
(chgrp description): ... here.
* src/chown-core.h (emit_from_option_description): A new function
refactored from ...
* src/chown.c (usage): ... here, and called from ...
* src/chgrp.c (usage): ... here.
(main): Accept the --from option as chown(1) does.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add chown-core.h as now translated.
* tests/chown/basic.sh: Decouple the root user from id 0.
* tests/chgrp/from.sh: A new test largely based on chown/basic.sh.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
Suggested by Ed Neville.
* configure.ac: Remove obsolete macro call.
Recent autoconf warns that it is obsolete.
AC_PROG_CPP sets up the -traditional-cpp option if required.
GCC ignores -traditional since commit f458d1d5 (2002).
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/67756
The description of -f regressed in coreutils 9.0
* doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Detail which options
are enabled/disabled with -f.
* src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
(decode_switches): Update comments.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/67765
* src/touch.c (usage): Reorganise the description to be similar to
the format used for the ls --time description, which formats better
when converted to a man page. Also separate the description
to allow for more granular translations.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/67656
* src/tail.c (file_lines): Ensure we use a buffer size >= PAGE_SIZE when
searching backwards to avoid seeking within a file,
which on sysfs files is accepted but also returns no data.
* tests/tail/tail-sysfs.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/67490
For consistency with the "SI" standard, and with other coreutils
which output a lowercase 'k' in "SI" mode.
* src/numfmt.c (suffix_power): Treat 'k' like 'K' on input.
(double_to_human): Output lowercase 'k' in SI mode.
(usage): Adjust accordingly.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention 'k' accepted, and printed in SI mode.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/47103
-w counted bytes not characters, which is wrong in multibyte locales.
This bug exists even in Fedora, which is why the recently-added
test cases from Fedora didn’t catch it.
* src/uniq.c (find_field): New arg PLEN. All callers changed.
Compute length of field correctly in multi-byte locales.
(different): Don’t worry about check_chars; find_field now does that.
* tests/uniq/uniq.pl: Test for this bug.
* src/uniq.c (skip_fields, skip_chars, check_chars, count_occurrences)
(output_unique, output_first_repeated, output_later_repeated)
(delimit_groups): Initialize statically, rather than in ‘main’.
This shrinks the executable a bit.
