Use mkstemp to do + this, supplying our own mkstemp if the system doesn't have one. + + Also, fix a race condition during cleanup on hosts without + sigaction. + + * src/sort.c (NAME_MAX_IN_DIR): Remove. + (sigprocmask, sigset_t): New macros, defined only on older hosts. + (caught_signals): New var. + (xtmpfopen, tempname): Removed. + (create_temp_file): New function, combining the functions of the old + xtmpfopen and tempname. All callers changed. + Use mkstemp to create the file. + (sighandler): On hosts without sigaction, ignore signals while + cleaning up, instead of letting them interrupt cleanup. + (main): Initialize caught_signals. On hosts with sigaction, block all + caught signals while handling one. Remove duplicate code. + + * m4/jm-macros.m4 (jm_MACROS): Use mkstemp replacement if the system + lacks mkstemp. Compile our own tempname.c if we compile our own + mkstemp.c, as mkstemp relies on tempname. + 2001-02-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@lucent.com> * src/sort.c (keycompare): Move declarations of locals, lena and lenb, |
