2011-01-18doc: update NEWSJim Meyering1-0/+1
* NEWS: Note when the uniq bug was introduced. It was mine, commit 1d9b3de9, "uniq: remove redundant test".
2011-01-17doc: show how to shred more efficientlyJim Meyering1-0/+14
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Give an example showing how to invoke shred in single-pass mode, and warn that -n0 --zero may be inadequate.
2011-01-17uniq: replace a wasteful loop with simple calculationJim Meyering1-2/+1
* src/uniq.c (find_field): Remove the byte-skipping loop altogether. Instead, perform the simple calculation. This results in a 10% performance improvement for large byte offsets.
2011-01-17tests: add a test for today's uniq bugJim Meyering2-0/+26
* tests/misc/uniq-perf: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-01-17uniq: don't continue field processing after end of lineSami Kerola2-1/+3
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/uniq.c (find_field): Stop processing loop when end of line is reached. Before this fix, 'uniq -f 10000000000 /etc/passwd' would run for a very long time.
2011-01-15doc: specify how tr, echo, printf treat octal numbersOndřej Vašík1-6/+13
* doc/coreutils.texi (tr's Character sets): Document how a 9-bit octal value is interpreted. tr does not ignore the ninth bit. (echo invocation, printf invocation): Document that any ninth bit in \OOO is ignored. (http://debbugs.gnu.org/7574)
2011-01-14maint: refactor to use read-file from gnulibPádraig Brady3-119/+12
* bootstrap.conf: Add the read-file module * src/ptx.c: Replace the original code which would needlessly read SIZE_MAX bytes of files larger than this. * src/shuf.c: Replace the original code.
2011-01-13maint: trivial system header file cleanupsPádraig Brady4-7/+9
* src/system.h: Note where it should be included, and make ordering check portable to GLIBC > 2 * src/copy.c: Move <sys/ioctl.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/install.c: Move <sys/wait.h> along with other system headers as is done elsewhere. * src/ptx.c: Include <regex.h> rather than "regex.h" as is done elsewhere. Note <regex.h> is kept after "system.h" as per commit dba300a0.
2011-01-12doc: clean up HACKING guidelinesJim Meyering1-8/+4
* HACKING: Remove mention of "indent-tabs-mode: nil", since we've remove all of those directives. No longer needed. Remove dated (pre-emacs-23) reference regarding WhiteSpace mode.
2011-01-11gnulib: Also use dtoastr and ldtoastr modules.Paul Eggert1-0/+2
This adjusts to the recent splitting of the ftoastr module into 3 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-01/msg00199.html>. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add dtoastr, ldtoastr, as coreutils needs all 3 modules now.
2011-01-11build: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert1-0/+0
2011-01-11rm: ignore errno related to invalid file namesNadav Har'El2-1/+12
* src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Also skip EINVAL and EILSEQ, for at least smbfs rejection of '*' in file names. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2011-01-10build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering1-0/+0
2011-01-10du: don't abort when a subdir is renamed during traversalJim Meyering4-4/+103
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/du.c (prev_level): Move declaration "up" to file-scope global. (du_files): Reset prev_level to 0 upon abnormal fts_read termination. Reported by Johathan Nieder in http://bugs.debian.org/609049 Also, improve a diagnostic. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-01-07maint: suppress some clang scan-build warningsPádraig Brady3-6/+8
* src/pr.c (char_to_clump): Remove a dead store. * src/remove.c (fts_skip_tree): Likewise. * src/sort.c (key_warnings): Likewise. (sort): Suppress an uninitialized pointer warning.
2011-01-07maint: replace uses of ignore_ptr with ignore_valuePádraig Brady4-3/+3
* gnulib: Update for enhanced ignore_value() * src/chcon.c (process_file): Don't use the deprecated ignore_ptr. * src/chmod.c (process_file): Likewise. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
2011-01-04post-release administriviaJim Meyering3-2/+5
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.

* NEWS: Record release date.
2011-01-04build: update gnulib to latest; portability fixesJim Meyering1-0/+0
2011-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering654-654/+654
Run "make update-copyright".
2011-01-01build: update gnulib for version-etc copyright year updateJim Meyering2-1/+1
* tests/sample-test: Update copyright to 2011, to appease syntax-check.
2011-01-01maint: generate much of the THANKS fileJim Meyering5-55/+77
Before this change, we had a tendency to manually list each contributor's name in THANKS. Now, each commit "Author" is included in the generated THANKS file automatically, and most of the old THANKS file is now a template, THANKS.in. We'll still have to manually list the names of people who report problems without a usable patch. * THANKS.in: New file, derived from THANKS, but removing names of those who are listed as git log 'Author:'s. * THANKS: Remove file. * thanks-gen: New file. * Makefile.am (THANKS): New rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Add .mailmap, THANKS.in and thanks-gen. * .gitignore: Add THANKS and THANKS-to-translators. * .mailmap: Unify on single address and name-spelling per contributor.
2010-12-31maint: update to latest gnulib, for testsuite improvementEric Blake3-10/+38
* gnulib: Update to latest for init.sh fix. * bootstrap: Resync from gnulib. * tests/init.sh: Likewise.
2010-12-30maint: allow gettext 0.17 againEric Blake2-2/+2
Commit 041c9c47 traded the 'gettext' module for the lighter 'gettext-h' module, so as to not require the latest gettext release (we only need the latest release if we ship gettext as a dependent library, but coreutils has long preferred to use it as an external library). But that commit overlooked two places necessary to allow the use of gettext 0.17. This does not force you to downgrade (using gettext 0.18.1.1 is still just fine), nor does it affect tarballs (once a tarball is built with a given gettext version, it can be built on other machines regardless of what gettext version is present). * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Relax prerequisite. * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Likewise.
2010-12-30split: fix the suffix length calculationPádraig Brady4-12/+38
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Only auto-calculate the suffix length when the number of files is specified. * tests/misc/split-a: Add a case to trigger the bug, and exercise the suffix length auto-calculation. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin and Sergey Vlasov at https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24841
2010-12-28coreutils: keep lines within 80-column limitsPaul Eggert60-232/+472
* cfg.mk (LINE_LEN_MAX, FILTER_LONG_LINES): New macros. (sc_long_lines): New rule. * HACKING: Use shorter URLs to the same material. * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/boottime.m4: * man/help2man, man/stdbuf.x, src/Makefile.am, src/cat.c, src/copy.c: * src/cp.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/groups.c, src/install.c: * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mv.c, src/od.c, src/pinky.c, src/ptx.c: * src/readlink.c, src/remove.c, src/rmdir.c, src/setuidgid.c: * src/sort.c, src/tail.c, src/touch.c, tests/Coreutils.pm: * tests/cp/existing-perm-race, tests/cp/perm, tests/cp/preserve-gid: * tests/du/2g, tests/du/long-from-unreadable, tests/init.sh: * tests/install/basic-1, tests/ls/nameless-uid: * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode, tests/misc/chroot-credentials: * tests/misc/cut, tests/misc/date, tests/misc/join, tests/misc/md5sum: * tests/misc/sha1sum, tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sort: * tests/misc/sort-continue, tests/misc/sort-files0-from: * tests/misc/sort-rand, tests/misc/stdbuf, tests/misc/tr: * tests/misc/uniq, tests/mv/atomic, tests/mv/part-fail: * tests/mv/part-symlink, tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart, tests/pr/pr-tests: * tests/rm/fail-2eperm, tests/rm/interactive-always: Reformat to fit within 80 columns. * doc/Makefile.am (BAD_POSIX_PERL): New macro. * doc/coreutils.texi: Reword slightly, to make menus and index lines shorter. * src/md5sum.c: Redo --help output so that it fits within 79 columns, since that's a bit more portable and all the other --help strings fit in 79 columns.
2010-12-24maint: avoid syntax-check failure due to unused #includeJim Meyering1-1/+0
* src/getlimits.c: Don't include "c-ctype.h"; no longer used.
2010-12-23csplit: diagnose file counter wraparoundPaul Eggert1-8/+16
* src/csplit.c (create_output_file): Detect overflow when the file counter wraps around, and exit with a diagnostic. Formerly the code silently wrapped around and wrote to the wrong file, losing output data.
2010-12-22sort: minor performance tweak with num_processorsPaul Eggert1-2/+2
* src/sort.c (main): Don't invoke num_processors twice.
2010-12-22getlimits: port to hosts with very wide int, or non-ASCIIPaul Eggert1-50/+24
* src/getlimits.c (decimal_ascii_add): Remove, replacing with ... (decimal_absval_add_one): New function, with different signature, which does not assume ASCII. All callers changed. (print_int): Remove assumptions that integers fit in 206 bits, and that characters are ASCII. These assumptions are portable in practice but are easy to remove here.
2010-12-22post-release administriviaJim Meyering3-2/+5
* NEWS: Add header line for next release. * .prev-version: Record previous version. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2010-12-22version 8.8v8.8Jim Meyering1-1/+1
* NEWS: Record release date.
2010-12-22csplit: update gnulib for Solaris 8,9 snprintf fixJim Meyering1-0/+0
2010-12-22maint: correct test-related commentsJim Meyering2-2/+4
* tests/mv/i-3: Adjust comment to match just-changed code. Spotted by Pádraig Brady. * tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Correct spelling of function name in usage example.
2010-12-22tests: adjust preceding change to handle general WERROR_CFLAGS valuesJim Meyering1-3/+3
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (test_xvasprintf_CFLAGS): (test_lock_CFLAGS, test_tls_CFLAGS): Avoid a syntax error when $(WERROR_CFLAGS) expands to more than one token.
2010-12-22tests: do not assume compiler knows -Wxxx flagsPaul Eggert1-4/+7
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (test_xvasprintf_CFLAGS): (test_lock_CFLAGS, test_tls_CFLAGS): Do not append GCC-specific flags like -Wno-format-security unless the GCC-specific flag -Werror is also specified. This avoids a "make check" failure on Solaris when using Sun C 5.8.
2010-12-22tests: mv/i-3: avoid false-positive failure on a slow/busy systemJim Meyering1-1/+1
* tests/mv/i-3: Quadruple the timeout duration. Without this, I saw an expired timeout on a heavily-loaded system.
2010-12-21tests: avoid new false-positive failure on at least FreeBSD 8.1Jim Meyering1-0/+4
* tests/mv/trailing-slash: Accommodate different diagnostic on FreeBSD 8.1.
2010-12-20who: omit useless definitions of MAXHOSTNAMELENPaul Eggert2-8/+0
This prevents a compilation failure on Solaris 8, GCC 4.4.2, with "configure --enable-gcc-warnings". * src/who.c (MAXHOSTNAMELEN): Remove; no longer needed. * src/pinky.c: Likewise.
2010-12-20maint: fix a typo in sort --parallel help messagePádraig Brady3-1/+3
Also fix up Chen Guo's contacts * src/sort.c (usage): Add a missing "of" * THANKS: Add Chen Guo * .mailmap: Add Chen Guo's UCLA address
2010-12-20build: update gnulib: ACL-vs-Solaris 8 portability etc.Jim Meyering1-0/+0
2010-12-18tests: sync init.sh from gnulibPaul Eggert1-5/+7
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Initialize fail=0 before invoking mktempd_. Ensure that IFS is defined initially. (mktempd_): Remove fail=0 initialization; no longer needed.
2010-12-19wc: fix a possible hang with --files0-fromPádraig Brady1-2/+2
* src/wc.c (main): exit when we get a read error on the --files0-from file, rather than retrying and spinning the CPU
2010-12-19cp: ensure backups are created when -T specifiedPádraig Brady2-2/+4
* src/cp.c (do_copy): When -T is specified, initialize the NEW_DST and SB variables, which are checked when running: cp -T --force --backup file file * tests/cp/backup-1: Add the -T case
2010-12-19sort: use at most 8 threads by defaultPádraig Brady6-13/+28
* src/sort.c (main): If --parallel isn't specified, restrict the number of threads to 8 by default. If the --parallel option is specified, then allow any number of threads to be set, independent of the number of processors on the system. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the changes to determining the number of threads to use. Mention the memory overhead when using multiple threads. * tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Allow single core systems that support pthreads. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-unique-segv: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
2010-12-18doc: split: add examples showing how to use the new optionJim Meyering1-0/+61
* doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Add examples.
2010-12-18tests: avoid spurious du/bigtime failureJim Meyering2-0/+6
* tests/du/bigtime: Map nonzero block count to 0. Reported by Assaf Gordon. * THANKS: Update.
2010-12-17tests: set fail=0 by defaultPaul Eggert1-0/+3
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Set fail=0. This was the intent as per <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-12/msg00058.html> but the assignment in mktempd_ is ineffective, since mktempd_ is used inside `` and its assignments are in a subshell.
2010-12-17build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering1-0/+0
2010-12-16sort: do not generate thousands of subprocesses for 16-way mergePaul Eggert2-14/+23
Without this change, tests/misc/sort-compress-hang would consume more than 10,000 process slots on my RHEL 5.5 x86-64 server, making it likely for other applications to fail due to lack of process slots. With this change, the same benchmark causes 'sort' to consume at most 19 process slots. The change also improved wall-clock time by 2% and user+system time by 14% on that benchmark. * NEWS: Document this. * src/sort.c (MAX_PROCS_BEFORE_REAP): Remove. (reap_exited): Renamed from reap_some; this is a more accurate name, since "some" incorrectly implies that it reaps at least one process. All uses changed. (reap_some): New function: it *does* reap at least one process. (pipe_fork): Do not allow more than NMERGE + 2 subprocesses. (mergefps, sort): Omit check for exited processes: no longer needed, and anyway the code consumed too much CPU per line when 2 < nprocs.
