2004-11-14(usage): Put the description of `[-n] STRING'Jim Meyering
on two lines, one for `-n STRING' and one for `STRING' so that help2man properly escapes the `-'. Otherwise, the hyphen is rendered inappropriately in UTF-8 locales.

2004-11-14(close_stdout): Don't fail just because stdout wasJim Meyering
closed initially, since some programs don't write to stdout in the normal course of operation (other than --version and --help), and we don't want this function to make e.g. `cp 1 2 >&-' fail. But do fail if it was closed and someone has tried to write to it. E.g., printf 'foo' >&-

2004-11-13(zaptemp): Warn if a temporary file is not removed.Paul Eggert
Prune unnecessary accesses to volatile locations, and take some code out of the critical section that didn't need to be in it.

2004-11-13* src/sort.c: Avoid O(N**2) behavior when there are many temporary files.Paul Eggert
Fix a race condition.

2004-11-13Avoid O(N**2) behavior when there are many temporary files.Paul Eggert
(temptail): New variable, so that we can easily append to list. (create_temp_file): Create new files at end of list, so that searching the list has O(N**NMERGE) behavior instead of O(N**2). (zaptemp): Update temptail if needed. (mergefps, merge): Accept new arg that counts temp files, and keep it up to date as we create and remove temporaries. This is for efficiency, so that we don't call zaptemp so often. All callers changed. (sort): Don't create array in reverse order, since the list of temporaries is now in the correct order. (zaptemp): Protect against race condition: if 'sort' is interrupted in the middle of zaptemp, it might unlink the temporary file twice, and the second time this happens the file might already have been created by some other process. (create_temp_file): Use offsetof for clarity. (die): Move it up earlier, to clean up the code a bit.

2004-11-12(strtoumax): Declare if not declared.Paul Eggert
(skip_to_page, first_page_number, last_page_number, page_number, first_last_page, print_header): Use uintmax_t for page numbers. (first_last_page): Remove unnecessary forward declaration. Do not modify arg (it is now a const pointer). Return a true if successful, false (without print a diagnostic) otherwise. (main): If +XXX does not specify a valid page range, treat it as a file name. This follows the response to Open Group XCU ERN 41 <http://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=7717>, which says the behavior is allowed. (skip_to_page): When starting page number exceeds page count, print both numbers in the diagnostic. (print_header): Detect page number overflow.

2004-11-06(first_same_file): Remove. Move most of the code to....Paul Eggert
(avoid_trashing_input): New function. (merge): Avoid some silly merges, e.g., copying a single file to a temporary file when there are exactly 17 input files to merge. Take a count of temporary files rather than a max_merge arg. All uses changed.

2004-11-06Ensure that no close failure goes unreported.Jim Meyering
(close_stdout): Always close stdout. I.e., don't return early when it seems there's nothing to flush. Don't include __fpending.h.
2004-11-06(xfclose): Don't close stdout here (just flush it),Jim Meyering
since close_stdout now closes stdout unconditionally.
2004-11-05* src/sort.c: Fixx size_t and alloca bugs.Paul Eggert
2004-11-05(inittables, sort_buffer_size, getmonth, mergefps,Paul Eggert
first_same_file, merge, sort, main): Use size_t for indexes into arrays. This fixes some unlikely havoc-wreaking bugs (e.g., more than INT_MAX temporary files). (getmonth, keycompare, compare): Rewrite to avoid need for alloca, thus avoiding unchecked stack overflow in some cases. As a side effect this improve the performance of "sort -M" by a factor of 4 on my benchmarks.
