Remove the optimization that avoided up to 50% of cp's read syscalls.
Do not assume that a short read on a regular file indicates EOF.
When reading from a file in /proc on linux [at least 2.6.9 - 2.6.29]
into a 4k-byte buffer or larger, a short read does not
always indicate EOF. For example, "cp /proc/slabinfo /tmp"
copies only 4068 of the total 7493 bytes. This optimization
(25719a3315, Improve performance a bit
by optimizing away; 2005-11-24) appears to have been worth less than
a 2% speed-up (and usually much less), so the impact of removing it
is negligible.

Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17%
on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function
using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf
instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively

Patch by Paul Eggert, Nima Nikzad, Max Chang, Alexander Nguyen,
Sahil Amoli, and Nick Graham.
This is an alternative to my 9 March patch labeled "Silently lower
nmerge; don't (sometimes incorrectly) range-check"
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00070.html>.
It differs by not using 'dup' to probe for extra file descriptors;
instead, it simply calls 'open' (and 'pipe') to open files and pipes,
until one of these calls fails due to file descriptor exhaustion; it
then backs off by 1, does a merge with the files that it has opened,
and then retries with the (now-smaller) number of files.
This patch requires quite a few more changes to the source code than
the earlier patch, but it is in some sense "better" because it doesn't
need to call "dup" ahead of time in order to decide whether "open" or
"pipe" will fail. Also, it's more robust in the case where "open" or
"pipe" fails with errno==EMFILE because some system-wide limit is
exhausted.
* src/sort.c (create_temp_file): New arg SURVIVE_FD_EXHAUSTION.
(stream_open): New function, containing guts of xfopen.
(xfopen): Use it.
(pipe_fork): Set errno on failure.
(maybe_create_temp): New function, containing guts of create_temp.
(create_temp): Use it.
(open_temp): Distinguish failures due to file descriptor exhaustion
from other failures, and on fd exhaustion return a notice to caller
rather than dying. Don't test execlp's return value; when it returns,
it *always* returns -1.
(open_input_files): New function.
(mergefps): New arg FPS. It's now the caller's responsibility to open
the input and output files. All callers changed.
(mergefiles): New function.
(avoid_trashing_input, merge): Handle the case where a single merge
can't merge as much as we wanted due to file descriptor exhaustion, by
merging as much as we can and then retrying.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-continue.
* tests/misc/sort-continue: New file.
* THANKS: Add Glen Lenker and Matt Pham who coauthored this patch.
* maint.mk (sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation): New rule.
Replace each TAB+8-space sequence with two TABs.
* man/Makefile.am: Likewise.

* README-prereq: coreutils currently requires an unreleased
version of Automake, so mention the minimum version of Autoconf
required to build that. Suggestion from James Youngman.
* copy.c (copy_attr_by_fd): Reduce xattr diagnostics for 'cp -a'.
(copy_attr_by_name): Likewise.
* cp.c (main): Preserve xattrs with -a option, when possible.

cp -a, with no added diagnostics.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* tests/misc/xattr: Add tests for 'cp --preserve=all' and 'cp -a'.
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...".
* NEWS: Mention the bugfix.
* src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing
of processed data before a blocking read() is done.
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
This is following on from this change:
[02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...]
which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times,
but also capped it at 32KiB.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
* src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that
returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was
seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use
to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead.
* src/cat.c: Use it.
* src/copy.c: ditto
* src/split.c: ditto
* src/pr.c (print_header): Honor chars_per_margin also for the header.
Inspired by a patch from C de-Avillez.
This change also adjusts two other %*s directives to be %*.*s instead,
(for the padding on either side of "file_text") to correct a bug that

(compute_buffer_size): New function to compute the input and output
buffer sizes, which are now set at 8 times st_blksize with a maximum
of 32KiB. Previously the typical block sizes used were 1KiB for pipes
and 4KiB for files, and now will be 8KiB and 32KiB respectively.
(main): Use it.
This change can double throughput on modern systems. For timings,

* maint.mk (web-manual): Factor out definition of $(manual_title).
(vc-dist): Set XZ_OPT=-9ev for the final "make dist".
* cfg.mk (manual_title): Define it here.
Suggestions from Eric Blake.
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: If set-up takes too long, use the set-up time
as the removal time limit. Otherwise, a parallel "make check" would
usually fail when run with RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes.
* 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.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add manywarnings.

I don't want or that provoke too many warnings.
(WARN_CFLAGS, WERROR_CFLAGS): Define.
(lint, GNULIB_PORTCHECK): Define.
(_FORTIFY_SOURCE): Define to 2.
Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/...
rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure.
The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change
[3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases]
that introduced the bug:
- remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);
+ if (!x->hard_link)
+ remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);
However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap
test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs.
And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it.
Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino
needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary
to record the pair only for the first directory created for each
source command-line argument.
I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass
when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note
the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same
command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail.
That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self
failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying
other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually)
with the unwanted recursion.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of
whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its
first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this
is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter.
(copy_dir, copy): Update callers.
(copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop.
* tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above.
Reported by Mikael Magnusson.
* src/sort.c: When no specific number of chars to skip
is specified for the end field, always skip the whole field.
Also never include leading spaces from next field.
* tests/misc/sort: Add 2 new tests for these cases.
* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* THANKS: Add bug reporter.

This was causing an erroneous failure on NetBSD 1.6 at least.
Running "make check &" would hang due to SIGTTOU and SIGTTIN signals.
* tests/misc/stty: Ignore SIGTTOU.
* tests/misc/stty-invalid: Likewise.
* tests/mv/i-3: Ignore SIGTTIN.
* src/ls.c (usage): Make the description of -s mention "allocated size",

* doc/coreutils.texi: Document --preserve=context, document that
diagnostics are not shown for failures of non-mandatory attributes

of preserving SELinux context in cp.
* src/install.c (have_same_content): New function to compare files
content.

(need_copy): New function to check if copy is necessary.
(main): Handle new option --compare (-C).
(copy_file): Skip file copying if not necessary.

* tests/install/install-C: Basic tests for install --compare (-C).
* tests/install/install-C-root: Tests requiring root privileges.
* tests/install/install-C-selinux: Tests requiring SELinux.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new tests for install --compare (-C).
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document new install option --compare (-C).
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/id.c (usage): Improve description, based on a suggestion

* man/id.x: Use a better one-liner, based on the one at top of id.c.
* src/du.c (main): Use FTS_DEFER_STAT, for better locality of inode
reference. Important when traversing file systems with fake inodes.
* src/chgrp.c (main): Likewise.
* src/chmod.c (main): Likewise.
* src/chown.c (main): Likewise.
The only remaining fts client, chcon, doesn't need this, since it goes
further and uses FTS_NOSTAT, which suppresses all non- directory
stat calls.
* HACKING: Give an example of how to run a test in isolation.
* README: Fix/simplify example for running a single test.
* README-hacking: Reference the HACKING file.
This change addresses a relatively unusual case: ls --color, with
a highlighted name being printed initially in the last row of a
terminal emulator (possibly followed by other lines of output) such
that it is wrapped onto the following line, as the terminal emulator
scrolls the output. That would cause the entire following line to
be highlighted, even if the name happened to use only one position.
The least-invasive patch would have made colorized output larger for
all uses. The approach taken below is more invasive, but limits the
increase in overhead to only those lines that are expected to wrap.
* src/ls.c (enum indicator_no): Add C_CLR_TO_EOL.
(indicator_name): Add "cl".
(color_indicator): Add default escape codes for "cl".
(print_long_format): Propagate width to print_name_with_quoting.

* src/Makefile.am: Link cp, mv and ginstall with libattr.
* src/copy.h: Add preserve_xattr and require_preserve_xattr to
cp_options.
* src/copy.c (copy_attr_error): New function to handle errors during
xattr copying.
(copy_attr_quote): New function to quote file name in error messages
printed by libattr.
(copy_attr_free): Empty function requested by libattr to free quoted
string.
(copy_attr_by_fd): New fd-oriented function to copy xattr.
(copy_attr_by_name): New name-oriented function to copy xattr.
(copy_reg, copy_internal): Call copy_extended_attributes function.
* src/cp.c (usage): Mention new --preserve=xattr option.
(decode_preserve_arg): Handle new --preserve=xattr option.
* src/mv.c: Always attempt to preserve xattr.
* src/install.c: Never attempt to preserve xattr.
* tests/misc/xattr: New test for xattr support in cp, mv and install.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add the new test to list.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Mention xattr support, new --preserve=xattr
option.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
Following are the before and after operations for seekable files,
for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch:
skip beyond end of file
before: immediately exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0);
skip > max file size
before: read whole file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > max file size
before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
skip > OFF_T_MAX
before: read whole device/file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1);
seek > OFF_T_MAX
before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
skip > device size
before: read whole device and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > device size
before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
* NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior.
* src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on
seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset.
(dd_copy): Print a warning if skip past EOF, as per FIXME comment.
* test/Makefile.am: Add 2 new tests.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-file: Add tests for first 3 cases above.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-dev: Add root only test for last case above.
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): End each "sentence"
with period, mark URLs with <...>.
Based on a suggestion from Eric Blake.
Use fputs on a string without %s, not printf.
* man/help2man ($PAT_BUGS): Update regexp to match the newer
"Report PROG bugs ..." --help output, as well as "Report bugs...".
Reported by Eric Blake.
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Define away,
now, gnulib's version-etc.h also declares this function.
In this package, we choose to include each program's name in
the diagnostic. Define away the conflicting declaration.
(emit_bug_reporting_address): Also emit home page and
"General help..." links, like the new function does.
Reported by Bob Proulx.
* NEWS: Mention the change to the default number of passes.
* doc/Makefile.am: Update constants.texi with the default
number of passes shred uses, so that the documentation
will automatically reflect any future changes.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Update the description
of the --iterations option to have the correct default number,
while still conveying that there are 25 internal patterns
that may be useful.
* src/shred.c: The concensus is that a default of 3
passes is appropriate for current drive technologies.
* src/TODO: Reference Paul Eggert's suggestion
of enhancing shred to conform to DoD 5220 rules.
* src/shred.c: Use already assigned signed variable sizeof_r,
rather than the unsigned sizeof(r). Don't use signed integer
overflow check that contemporary compilers may remove anyway.
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: Avoid -Wsign-compare warning by using unsigned
types for the parameters of the new function realloc_groupbuf().
mgetgroups() was refactored to use this function rather than
explicitly allocating and copying from automatic storage itself.
* src/group-list.c: Use int rather than size_t as variable is
used in signed comparisons.
* src/id.c: ditto.
* src/cp.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help.
(main): Handle new option -n.
* src/mv.c (usage): Show new option -n in --help.
(main): Handle new option -n.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document new cp/mv option -n.
* tests/cp/cp-i: Add tests for -f, -i and -n options.
* tests/mv/mv-n: New test for mv -n.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add test mv/mv-n to the list.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Mention pathchk
checks validity (for current system) as well as portability.
Say messages go to stderr, and reorder description of checks
done for the -p option, to match what's done in code.
* src/pathchk.c (usage): Mention pathchk checks name validity.
Suggested clarifications were from Dan Jacobson.
* 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
GNU cmp exits without reading all input when given the -s option,
and that can cause termination of the writing process via SIGPIPE.
Instead, when reading from a pipe, just redirect output to /dev/null
so that all input is read.
* maint.mk (_prohibit_regexp): New macro.
(sc_avoid_if_before_free, sc_cast_of_argument_to_free):
(sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value, sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value):
(sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_prohibit_strcmp):
(sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks, sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): Use it.
(sc_prohibit_HAVE_MBRTOWC): New rule.
* maint.mk (sc_m4_quote_check): Renamed from m4-check.
Also search for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
Also search in configure.ac.
* configure.ac: Quote first argument of AC_DEFINE.
* jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Quote the first argument to AC_DEFINE.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include mbrtowc explicitly.
* src/ls.c (quote_name): Don't test HAVE_MBRTOWC, now that we're
guaranteed to have the function.
* src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Use a more uniform initializer, that makes
it easier to extract all O_ symbol names.
* maint.mk (syntax-check-rules): Also search for sc_ rules in cfg.mk.
(sc_root_tests): Ensure that this rule sets $diff.
* cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): New rule.
* src/dd.c (O_CIO): New flag.
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Add O_CIO to the list of flags that
O_FULLBLOCK should be greater than.
* src/dd.c (flags): Give the name "cio" to the new O_CIO flag, mirroring
the treatment of O_DIRECT.
* src/dd.c (usage): Add a description of the new flag when it is available.
* doc/coreutils.text (dd invocation): Describe the new flag.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
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.

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.
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Disable MALLOC_PERTURB_, so that "make
check" no longer provokes a segfault from printf(1). Before, that
would be detected as a known problem and cause the test to be skipped.
Adjust the test so that a segfault once again results in test failure.
for all but the C/POSIX locale.
* src/system.h: Include "hard-locale.h".
(emit_bug_reporting_address): Tell where to report translation bugs.
don't include "hard-locale.h", now that system.h does
* src/comm.c: Likewise.
* src/join.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/pinky.c: Likewise.
* src/pr.c: Likewise.
* src/sort.c: Likewise.
* src/uniq.c: Likewise.
* src/who.c: Likewise.
Hoping that this will decrease the volume of bug reports
mistakenly directed to the coreutils mailing list.
* src/system.h (emit_bug_reporting_address): Specify the program
name in the "Report bugs to <...>." line in each program's --help
output and man page. Now, it will say "Report PROGRAM_NAME bugs
to <...>." Suggestion from Ondřej Vašík.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include strdup explicitly, to
keep the latest version of gnulib-tool from omitting this now-marked-
as-obsolete module.
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Colorize hard linked files.
* src/dircolors.c: Add color for hard link.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add color for hard link.
* tests/ls/hardlink: Test for ls - colorize hard linked files.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add ls/hardlink.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/seq.c (validate_format): Remove. Migrate its checks into...
(long_double_format): Report an error and exit if an error is found,
instead of returning NULL. All callers changed.
Use a more-consistent format for diagnostics.
* tests/misc/seq: Adjust to the more-consistent format for diagnostics.
Here's a patch to remove the --bignum and --no-bignum options from
'factor'. The case for removing --bignum isn't as strong as that for
'expr', but still, it seems to me that these options are not needed and
complicate the documentation unnecessarily.
* doc/coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Remove --bignum, --no-bignum.
* src/factor.c (algorithm, ALGORITHM_CHOICE, USE_BIGNUM, NO_USE_BIGNUM):
Remove; all uses removed.
(extract_factors_multi): Remove, replacing with....
(print_factors_multi): New function, with signature similar to that
of new signature of print_factors_single.
(print_factors_single): Migrate checking code to caller.
(print_factors): Use GMP if it's available; don't bother asking user.
Improve accuracy of check for "large" numbers.
(long_options, main): Remove support for --bignum.
* src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h>, <float.h>.
(abs_rel_diff): Remove.
(print_numbers): Test for equality, not for an epsilonish value.
This reverts 4827dd27b0, aka
v6.10-185-g4827dd2, which broke 'seq' on the x86; for example, it
causes "seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808" to incorrectly
output 3 numbers instead of 2. It's better to punish obsolescent
hosts that have incorrectly-working floating-point than to punish
correctly-working hosts.
* tests/misc/seq: Use 0.9000000000000, rather than
0.90000000000000000000, to avoid tickling a bug in Solaris 8 strtold,
which converts "0.9" and "0.9000000000000" correctly, but incorrectly
converts "0.90000000000000000000" to a smaller value.
* src/ls.c (gobble_file) [long_format]: Map SELinux-only to '.',
any other nonempty combination of MAC and ACL to '+', and all else
to the usual ' '. Suggested by Michael Stone.
* tests/misc/selinux: Adapt: expect '.', not '+'.
* doc/coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Document this.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
* bootstrap.conf: lzma was added as a build requirement
in the recently added build tools requirements check.
Remove that as it's quite new and also only required
for the make dist stage.
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710>
* README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as
as optional requirements rather than in their own sections.
Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions.
* README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions
for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes
for Fedora linux.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required.
* bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools,
and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
* gl/modules/selinux-at:
Ensure that LIB_SELINUX is cleared, in case it's set in the environment.
m4-quote the first two args to AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
Don't violate autoconf's ac_ namespace: s/ac_save/gl_save/
Drop the useless double quotes around a simple assignment RHS.
* gl/modules/selinux-h (Makefile.am)
[selinux/selinux.h, selinux/context.h]:
Remove temporary file and target, in case they're read-only.
Use $(MKDIR_P), not mkdir -p.
(License): Relax to LGPLv2+.
Remove vestigial comments.
* ls.c (print_color_indicator): Do not check for file capability
if that attribute is not being colored.
Since 84f6abfe00, ls --color would check
each file for "capabilities". In <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/467508>,
James Antill reported that ls --color seemed slower with capabilities
detection.
* src/expr.c: Standardise the format of AUTHORS to
that used in other utils with multiple authors.
Also add Paul Eggert since he basically rewrote it
with his bignum fixes.
* AUTHORS (expr): Add Paul Eggert.
Now that a (void) cast no longer suffices to ignore warnings from gcc
about uses of functions marked with the warn_unused_result attribute,
we need an alternative. For the record, here's one of the ignorable
warnings: "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result"
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ignore-value.
* src/copy.c: Include "ignore-value.h".
(set_owner): Use ignore_value in place of "(void)" casts,
to ignore lchown and fchown failures.
* src/cp.c (re_protect): Likewise, to ignore lchown failure.
* src/remove.c (preprocess_dir): Remove unnecessary "(void)" cast.
* maint.mk (po-check): Before, when this check failed, it just
spat out a diff mentioning two temporary files. Now, it tells
you what's wrong and suggests a fix with a patch using the name
of the affected file (rather than temporary file names) in the
diff output.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import sigaction.
* src/csplit.c (sigprocmask, siginterrupt) [SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Delete
workarounds.
(interrupt_handler, main): Drop use of signal. Rely on sigaction
to block fatal signal during cleanup, and to restore it to default
in case of nested signals.
* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Remove the --bignum and
--no-bignum options. They weren't really needed, and they broke
longstanding (albeit nonportable) scripts.
* src/expr.c: Don't include <assert.h>. Include "inttostr.h",
"long-options.h", "verify.h". Check at compile-time that
size_t fits in unsigned long int, as the code assumes this in
several places.
(HAVE_GMP): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience.
(mpz_t, mpz_clear, mpz_init_set_ui, mpz_init_set_str, mpz_add):
(mpz_sub, mpz_mul, mpz_tdiv_q, mpz_tdiv_r, mpz_get_str, mpz_sgn):
(mpz_fits_ulong_p, mpz_get_ui, mpz_out_str):
Supply substitutes when !HAVE_GMP, which work well enough for
expr's purposes.
(mp_integer): Remove. All integers are gmp, if gmp is available.
(struct valinfo): Remove 'z' member; no longer needed. The 'i'
member is always of type mpz_t.
(enum arithmetic_mode, MP_NEVER, MP_ALWAYS, MP_AUTO, mode):
Remove; no longer needed.
(usage): Remove documentation of --bignum and --no-bignum.
(integer_overflow): Abort if error misbehaves, to pacify GCC.
Restore old message on arithmetic overflow, to be conservative.
(die): Omit exit_status parameter; not needed (is always EXPR_FAILURE).
(string_too_long, USE_BIGNUM, NO_USE_BIGNUM, long_options):
Remove; no longer needed.
(main): Don't use getopt_long; this breaks old nonportable scripts.
(int_value): Arg is unsigned, in case we have strings whose length
exceeds LONG_MAX (!).
(int_value, freev, printv, null, tostring, toarith):
(eval6, eval4, eval3):
Always use mpz_ functions, to simplify the code.
(substr_value): Remove; no longer needed.
(getsize): Simplify the API: one arg rather than 3. Don't assume
unsigned long int fits in size_t.
(promote, domult, dodivide, doadd): Remove; no longer needed.
* tests/misc/expr: Don't use --bignum to test for bignum support.
Instead, use big numbers to test this.
* src/expr.c (main): Given a first argument like -22 (negative, with
two or more digits), expr would decrement optind to 0 and then attempt
to evaluate argv[0].
* doc/coreutils.texi (tsort invocation, tsort background): Move these
nodes "down", so that they follow the ptx nodes, thus matching the
alphabetized order in the menu.
(tsort background): Make this a subsection.
Suggested by Karl Berry.
* src/Makefile.am (check): Remove check-misc.
(check-misc): Remove target.
* maint.mk (sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks): New target.
(sc_prohibit_S_IS_definition): New target.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks.
* .x-sc_prohibit_stat_st_blocks: New file.
Andreas Schwab reported that "make check" could fail to detect
violation of the no-S_IS*-definition policy.
This option was never supported in upstream coreutils.
* chcon.c (usage): Remove --change (-c) from help message.
(main): Remove 'c' from getopt string.
Remove related and now-unused enums.
* tests/install/strip-program: Use $PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL,
not POSIX_SHELL. The latter may be empty, and would fail
on OpenBSD 3.9.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Propagate
PREFERABLY_POSIX_SHELL to tests.
* src/timeout.c (main): Use "error", not perror.
Elbert Pol noticed a build failure on OS/2.
* src/timeout.c (main): Exit 125 (not errno) upon failed fork.
Make the failed fork diagnostic match the one from install.c.
* src/ls.c (cmp_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.
* src/sort.c (usage): Remove mna reference to strverscmp(3).
(compare_version): Use filevercmp instead of strverscmp.
* bootstrap.conf: Add filevercmp to list of gnulib modules.
* tests/misc/sort-version: Remove conflicting string and enhance test.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently):
Remove function, so as not to have to worry about the type of
statfs.f_type and sign extension.
(dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): Adjust comment.
Perform the switch directly on the struct.member here, instead.
Andreas Schwab spotted the potential for a sign-extension bug,
that happens not to bite for the S_* f_type values currently used.
The preprocessing phase is not necessary on tmpfs, and induces
a 20% performance decrease when removing a 2M-entry directory.
* src/remove.c (fs_handles_readdir_ordered_dirents_efficiently):
(dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful): New functions from gnulib/fts.c.
They'll probably become a gnulib module -- eventually.
(preprocess_dir): Use dirent_inode_sort_may_be_useful.
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Don't switch c_strtold -> strtold
in order to accommodate the locale-dependent behavior of our internal
asprintf use. Instead, simply set the locale to C before calling
asprintf, and then set it back afterwards.
This enhancement works around a problem that is specific to at least
ext3 and ext4 file systems. With them, it would take hours to remove
a two-million-entry directory. RAM-backed file systems (tmpfs) are
not affected, since there is no seek penalty.
* remove.c (rm_malloc, rm_free, compare_ino): New functions.
(dirent_count, preprocess_dir): New function.
[struct readdir_data]: New struct.
(remove_cwd_entries): Call preprocess_dir.
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: New file. Test for the performance fix.
* NEWS: mention the new feature
(obstack_chunk_alloc, obstack_chunk_free): Don't define.
(top_dir): Param is no longer "const".
Use malloc, not xmalloc, and call longjmp upon failed malloc.
(obstack_init_minimal): New function.
(ds_init): Don't use xmalloc. Instead, use caller-supplied buffer.
Use obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg, not obstack_init, so
that we control what happens upon allocation failure.
Arrange for ds_free not to free uninitialized if/when
any obstack_specify_allocation_with_arg allocation fails.
(ds_free): Don't free DS, now that it's no longer malloc'd.
(rm): Allocate DS on the stack.
Arrange to handle ds_init allocation failure.
step1
* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use strtold, not c_strtold to convert
from just-formatted-using-asprintf string back to double, since
asprintf may have used something other than "." as the decimal point.
Reported by lsof@nodata.co.uk as <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/463556>.
Thanks to Ondřej Vašík for discovering that the bug was locale-related.

* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add LOCALE_FR_UTF8, for...
* tests/misc/seq [locale-dec-pt]: New test for the above.
* NEWS (bug fix): Mention it.
'-a' is equivalent to -dpR, so s/-dpPR/-dpR/; the -P is redundant,
since -d already implies -P, and both --help and "info cp" say -dpR:
Corresponding doc changes: 080ac77850b7c2db6766.
* src/Makefile.am (cu_install_program): New variable, set to
either ./ginstall or @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ (for cross compilation).
(INSTALL_PROGRAM): Override AC_SUBST unconditionally, to avoid
warning, and wrong initialization order.
* maint.mk (VC_LIST): Prepend '$(srcdir)/'.

(nice invocation, kill invocation, sleep invocation): Use it.
(printf invocation): Invoke via "env" rather than using a
literal /usr/local/bin/ prefix in examples.
This relies on development Automake to provide multi-file
installation, and avoids relying on undocumented Automake
interfaces. It also removes special-casing for `['.
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Depend on 1.10a.
(CROSS_COMPILING): New Automake conditional.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-am, filtered_PROGS)
(d_bindir, cu-install-binPROGRAMS): Remove.
(INSTALL_PROGRAM) [!CROSS_COMPILING]: Set to `./ginstall'.
* 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/'
...to specify the program used to strip binaries
* src/install.c (main): Handle new option --strip-program.

* tests/Makefile.am: add it to the list
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document it.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
When mkstemp fails, the template buffer may have undefined
contents, so we must not print it.
* src/sort.c (create_temp_file): Use temp_dir, not "file"
when diagnosing failed mkstemp, because "file" may be undefined.
* tests/misc/sort-merge: Adjust for new expected output.
Jeph Cowan and Ralf Wildenhues reported the test failure:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14235/focus=14257
* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Don't use template buffer after
failed mkstemp call, since its contents may be undefined.

* src/mktemp.c (main): Save a copy of the template string,
solely for use in case mkstemp fails.
* tests/misc/mktemp (pipe-bad-tmpdir): New test for the above.
* src/sort.c (OPEN_MAX): Define if not already defined.
(MAX_NMERGE): Remove definition.
(specify_nmerge): Don't cast MAX_NMERGE (of type size_t) to unsigned int.
Instead, use OPEN_MAX as the fall-back value.
* src/sort.c (specify_nmerge): Do use uinttostr value.
Provoke with e.g., sort -m --batch-size=18446744073709551617
Omit quotes around known-numeric value in diagnostic.
* tests/misc/sort-merge [nmerge-big]: Tighten ERR_SUBST regexp
to require a numeric value in that diagnostic, so this particular
failure cannot reappear.
* src/dd.c (MULTIPLE_BITS_SET): New macro, extracted from...
(multiple_bits_set): ...this function.
Use a single-line, and far simpler expression (no need to list all
O_* symbols again) to validate the derived O_FULLBLOCK value.
* src/expr.c (die): New "noreturn" function to wrap one-arg use of
error
(string_too_long): Use die rather than error.
(toint): Remove definition of now-unused function.
(eval6): Remove a little duplication.
Use die rather than error.
(dodivide): Remove declaration of now-unused variable.
* src/Makefile.am (expr_LDADD): Link expr against GNU MP.
* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Describe --bignum,
--no-bignum. Explain the new arbitrary-precision functionality.
* NEWS: Indicate that arbitrary-precision arithmetic is now
supported in expr.
* src/expr.c (enum valtype): Added mp_integer, signifying a GNU MP
number.
(usage): Document the new options --bignum and --no-bignum which
force and prohibit the use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic,
respectively.
(long_options): data structure for getopt_long, which we need to
use to parse the options mentioned above.
(main): parse these options with getopt_long instead of
parse_long_options.
(valinfo): Downgrade the numeric member of the union from
intmax_t to signed long, since MP lacks functions for promoting an
intmax_t to an arbitrary-precision quantity.
(enum arithmetic_mode): Represents the current choice between
--bignum, --no-bignum and the default (automatically switch from
one to the other if needed).
(integer_overflow): issue a more explicit error message indicating
that MP is not available.
(string_too_long): new function, emits a fatal error message for
the case where an argument to the 'index' expression is too long
for a string offset to be represented.
(int_value): With --bignum, create the value as mp_integer rather
than plain integer.
(substr_value): factored out of eval6; implements "substr".
(freev): also destroy mp_integer values. Check that no mp_integer
values exist if --no-bignum was specified.
(printv, null, tostring): support mp_integer.
(toint): new funtion for converting from string or mp_integer to
integer.
(getsize): extracts a size_t value from a VALUE object; used to
implement substr.

and suggest that this might also be a good idea for seq.
* AUTHORS (expr): Add James Youngman.
* doc/coreutils.texi (uptime invocation): document uptime.
* TODO: uptime is documented now.
* src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Use fprintftime to print the time, rather
than printf. This should make the situation better for translations.

* src/cut.c (usage): Remove an inconsistent period in an option
description.
* src/du.c (usage): Remove superfluous argument after short option -X.
Also remove inconsistent uppercase and final period.
Use a single indent level for prettiness.
* src/shred.c (usage): Normalize the synopsis.
* src/stty.c (usage): Options -F and --file are alternatives, cannot
both be used.
* src/sum.c (usage): -r does not overrule -s; the last one counts.
* src/uptime.c (usage): Remove inconsistent space from the synopsis.
* src/users.c: Likewise.
* src/true.c (usage): Mark both strings with N_, so that
the one for "false" is also extracted for translation.
For consistency, mark both, although only the latter one needed it.
Inspired by a patch from Benno Schulenberg.
* src/ls.c: [HAVE_CAP] Include <sys/capability.h>.
(has_capability): New function for capability detection.
(print_color_indicator): Colorize file with capability.

* src/dircolors.c: Update color lists.
* src/dircolors.hin: Mention new CAPABILITY color attribute.
* tests/ls/capability: Test for ls - colorize file with capability.
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Add ls/capability.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* m4/gmp.m4: New file; adds cu_GMP, which detects GNU MP.
* configure.ac: Use cu_GMP.
* src/Makefile.am: Link factor against libgmp if available.
* src/factor.c: Use GNU MP if it is available.
(emit_factor, emit_ul_factor, factor_using_division,
factor_using_pollard_rho, extract_factors_multi,
sort_and_print_factors, free_factors): new functions
for the arbitrary-precision implementation, taken from an example
in GNU MP.
(factor_wheel): Renamed; was called factor.
(print_factors_single): Renamed; was called print_factors.
(print_factors): New function, chooses between the single- and
arbitrary-precision algorithms according to availability of GNU MP
and the length of the number to be factored.
(usage, main): New options --bignum and --no-bignum.
* coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Document new command-line
options for the MP implementation and update the performance
numbers to take into account the asymptotically faster algorithm.
* TODO: Remove item about factoring large primes (it's done).
* m4/gmp.m4: Add support for --without-gmp.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
When printing one name per line and not sorting, ls now uses
constant memory per directory, no matter how many files are in
the directory.
* ls.c (print_dir): Print each file name immediately, when possible.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* src/shuf.c (write_permuted_output): Add EOLBYTE parameter and use
it rather than hard-coding "\n".
(main): Adjust sole caller.
* tests/misc/shuf: Add a test to exercise this bug fix.
* NEWS: Mention it.
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Define using an enum, not #define.
Derive the value, rather than hard-coding to one that might conflict.
(usage): Mention iflag=fullblock in --help output.
(scanargs): Reset the O_FULLBLOCK bit, so that we don't try to set
an undefined attribute via fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, ...
* tests/dd/misc: Signal framework_failure when necessary.
Use "compare actual expected", so any diffs look "right".
* NEWS (dd): Alphabetize and reword.
* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Adjust wording.
* src/dd.c (iread_fullblock): New function for reading full blocks.
(scanargs): Check for new parameter iflag=fullblock.
(skip): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function.
(dd_copy): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function.
* tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd - read full blocks.
* doc/coretuils.texi: Mention new parameter iflag=fullblock.
* NEWS: Mentioned the change.
* src/ptx.c (fix_output_parameters): Don't let before_max_width
go negative -- that would cause an infloop in define_all_fields.
(main): Don't clobber name[0] with lists of two or more input files.
* tests/misc/ptx: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/ptx.
The expand released in current distributions (Fedora Core 4 - Fedora 9
at least), doesn't expand --initial tabs if spaces are present.
tests/misc/expand: Add test to verify --initial works correctly
with lines starting with both spaces and tabs.
Without this, test-related variable settings were not exported to
the shell_or_perl_ function when using dash or Solaris 11's /bin/sh.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use an explicit "export",
so as not to rely on non-POSIX behavior of some /bin/sh (e.g.,
bash-based ones).
* src/who.c (print_runlevel): Print last=%c only when the "preceding
run-level" byte is printable. Reported by Gian Piero De Lolliis in
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/453249>.
Without this, `truncate -s '> -1' F` would truncate F to length 0,
and `truncate -s " +1" F` would truncate F to 1 byte. Now, each
elicits a diagnostic.
* src/truncate.c: Skip leading white space in the --size option
argument and any white space after one of the relative modifiers,
so that the presence of a +/- modifier can be detected reliably.
* tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Add tests for the above.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove test for invalid
signal number (we don't know what signal numbers are
invalid on all systems). Also tweak the other invalid
signal check so that the rest of the arguments are correct.
* src/truncate.c: Explicitly convert from off_t to intmax_t
when printing numbers as they may be different types.
Also don't mix size_t and off_t types in operations as
the latter will be promoted to unsigned when these types
are the same size.
* src/truncate.c (parse_len): Use a temporary of type intmax_t,
rather than off_t; detect out of range [OFF_T_MIN..OFF_T_MAX].
(main) [IF_LINT]: Initialize, to avoid an unwarranted
"may be used uninitialized" warning.

* tests/misc/chcon: Add a test for the above.
* NEWS: mention the bug fix
Reported by Carl D. Roth in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/451478.
The affected code wasn't even being compiled on my system,
because HAVE_NL_LANGINFO was not defined. On other systems, where
vasnprintf.m4 determines it needs %A or %a replacement support, it
_would_ check for nl_langinfo, and expose the compilation failure.

parameter.
(write_block): Account for width parameter.
Using ideas from Paul Eggert.
* src/od.c (struct tspec): Add pad_width field, and adjust
print_function prototype.
(decode_one_format): Rewrite all fmt_string values to account for
pad width.
(FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): Adjust to new format style.
(main): Compute pad width per spec.

the result appropriately.
(copylinebuffer): Copy a linebuffer; used for copy before read.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am: List new test.
* tests/misc/comm: Tests for the comm program, including the
new order-checking functionality and attendant command-line options.
Solaris 10 returns ENOTDIR when truncating a nonexistent directory,
whereas Linux returns EISDIR (because it has a trailing /).

Change exit values from ETIMEDOUT and ECANCELED,
the values of which are system dependent, to
124 and 125 respectively.
