The trick + is that these fields can all be treated as effectively infinity; + their exact values don't matter, since no internal buffer can be + that long. + * src/join.c (string_to_join_field): Verify that SIZE_MAX <= + ULONG_MAX if the code assumes this. Silently truncate too-large + values to SIZE_MAX, as the remaining code will do the right thing + in this case. + * src/sort.c (parse_field_count): Likewise. + * src/uniq.c (size_opt, main): Likewise. + * tests/join/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. + * tests/sort/Test.pm (bigfield): New test. + * tests/uniq/Test.pm (121): New test. + 2006-12-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> * tests/chgrp/default-no-deref: New test. |
