2013-02-04cut: fix a segfault with disjoint open ended rangesPádraig Brady
Fixes the issue introduced in unreleased commit v8.20-60-gec48bea. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't access the bit array if we've an open ended range that's outside any finite range. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests for this case. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/13627
2013-02-01doc: say how to tac char-by-charPaul Eggert
This fixes Bug#12115, reported by Reuben Thomas. * doc/coreutils.texi (tac invocation): Document how to reverse a file character by character. Break out MS-DOS into a separate section, like 'cat' does.
2013-01-28df: do not treat rootfs speciallyBernhard Voelker
Like any other pseudo file system, df should show rootfs only when the -a option is specified, i.e. specifying -trootfs alone is not sufficient. As the rootfs entry is now elided by the general deduplication in filter_mount_list (commit v8.20-103-gbb116d3), all other references to rootfs can be removed again. * src/df.c (show_rootfs): Remove global variable. (ROOTFS): Remove constant. (filter_mount_list): Remove case to handle rootfs specially. (main): In the case for handling the -t option, remove setting of the show_rootfs variable. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Adapt the test case "df -t rootfs": the rootfs file system must not be printed (because no -a). * doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Correct the documentation about eliding mount entries: it is not the first occurrence of the the device which wins, but now rather the entry with the shortest mount point name. Also adapt the description about eliding pseudo file system types like rootfs. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Adapt entry.
2013-01-27df: prefer fullpath entries when deduplicatingOndrej Oprala
* src/df.c (struct devlist): Add a new element for storing pointers to mount_entry structures. (devlist_head, dev_examined): Remove. (filter_mount_list): Add new function to filter out the rootfs entry (unless -trootfs is specified), and duplicities. The function favors entries with a '/' character in me_devname or those with the shortest me_mountdir string, if multiple entries fulfill the first condition. Use struct devlist to build up a list of entries already known, and finally rebuild the global mount_list. (get_all_entries): Call the above new function unless the -a option is specified. (get_dev): Remove the code for skipping rootfs and duplicities. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add test cases. Co-authored-by: Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
2013-01-26timeout: ensure a blocked SIGALRM from the parent is unblockedStephan Krempel
* src/timeout.c (unblock_signal): A new function to unblock a specified signal, or warn if not possible. (set_timeout): Ensure SIGALRM is unblocked before we setup the timer. * tests/misc/timeout-blocked.pl: A new test for the issue. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes: http://bugs.gnu.org/13535
2013-01-26seq: fix to always honor the step valuePádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (main): With 3 positive integer args we were checking the end value was == "1", rather than the step value. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add tests for this case. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/13525
2013-01-26seq: fix misaligment with -w when no precision for start valuePádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (get_default_format): Also account for the case where '.' is auto added to the start value, which is significant when the number sequence narrows. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add two new tests for the failing cases. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13394
2013-01-26cut: fix -f to work with the -d$'\n' edge casePádraig Brady
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Handle the edge case where '\n' is the delimiter, which could be used for example to suppress the last line if it doesn't contain a '\n'. * test/misc/cut.pl: Add tests for this edge case.
2013-01-26cut: with -f, process each line independentlyPádraig Brady
Previously line N+1 was inspected before line N was fully output, which causes output ordering issues at the terminal or delays from intermittent sources like tail -f. * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust so that we record the previous output character so we can use that info to determine wether to output a '\n' or not. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure existing functionality isn't broken. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes bug http://bugs.gnu.org/13498
2013-01-23build: update gnulib submodule to latestPaul Eggert
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add statat. The fstatat module was split in two, and we need both halves.
2013-01-24doc: fix an example in the od man pagePádraig Brady
* man/od.x: s/-w 16/-w16/ as -w takes an optional parameter and so the space is significant.
2013-01-23doc: fix order of du options in usage and texinfo manualBernhard Voelker
* src/du.c (usage): Bring options into alphabetical order. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Likewise. Furthermore, use the @itemx macro for the long options --max-depth and --threshold instead of @item.
2013-01-23maint: define usage note about mandatory args centrallyBernhard Voelker
Each program with at least one long option which is marked as 'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that option, should print a note about mandatory arguments. Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing. * src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function. * src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs. * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c: * src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c: * src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c: * src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c: * src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c: * src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function because at least one long option has a required argument. * src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c: * src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: Likewise.
2013-01-21du: add -t SIZE, --threshold=SIZE optionJakob Truelsen
* src/du.c (opt_threshold): Add variable to hold the value of the --threshold option specified by the user. (long_options): Add a required_argument entry for the new --threshold option. (usage): Add --threshold option. (process_file): Elide printing the entry if its size does not meet the value specified by the --threshold option. (main): In the argument parsing loop, add a case for the new -t option. Convert the given argument by permitting the well-known suffixes for megabyte, gigabytes, etc. Handle the special case "-0": give an error as this value is not permitted. * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Add documentation for the above new option. * tests/du/threshold.sh: Add new test to exercise the new option. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention the above test. Co-authored-by: Bernhard Voelker <mail@bernhard-voelker.de>
2013-01-20tests: remove test case du/slinkBernhard Voelker
This test tried to ensure that not all symlinks (across all file system types) have Zero size and refers to a change in system.h from 2002-08-31 (commit SH-UTILS-2_0_15-55-g62808a7). The test used to do this by working on symlinks to long file names. This assumption is dependant on the underlying file system, and in some environments like XEN does not even work on file systems known to work otherwise. The test for dereferencing and no-dereferencing symlinks is already covered by other tests (du/deref.sh, du/deref-args.sh, and du/no-deref.sh). Therefore, remove it. * tests/du/slink.sh: Remove file. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Remove the above test. Discussed in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-01/msg00053.html
2013-01-20maint: fix alphabetical order in .gitignoreBernhard Voelker
Since commit v8.20-67-g0f525b6, .gitignore sometimes showed up as changed because the entries "*.gcda" and "*.gcno" had not been in alphabetical order. * .gitignore: Exchange the entries "*.gcda" and "*.gcno".
2013-01-12uptime: gettextize an overlooked string, and normalize anotherBenno Schulenberg
* src/uptime.c: Add calls to gettext() and select_plural().
2013-01-10doc: make a --help text fragment identical to three othersBenno Schulenberg
* src/ln.c (usage): Move a newline to the next text fragment, so the preceding fragment about backup methods becomes the same as the ones for cp, mv, and install. A bit easier for translators.
2013-01-07factor: apply a more general fix to enable correct assemblyPádraig Brady
In addition to the previous 64 bit guards we've placed in longlong.h there are additional _LP64 guards required for mips with -mcpu >= 3, to avoid a build failure (http://bugs.gnu.org/13353) and on sparc with -mcpu >= v9 in 32 bit mode where for example, `factor 2123123123123123123123` would go into an infinite loop. Since factor.c currently operates on uintmax_t, we restrict the use of the assembly in longlong.h to when 'long' has the same width, to provide a more general guard for this code. * src/factor.c: Restrict the use of longlong.h assembly code, to when the width of intmax_t == long. * src/longlong.h: Remove the previous _LP64 guards to avoid divergence from GMP's longlong.h * NEWS: Adjust the info on build and runtime fixes.
2013-01-06doc: sync parse-datetime from gnulibPaul Eggert
* doc/coreutils.texi (Top): Sync from gnulib parse-datetime.texi menu.
2013-01-06doc: avoid @sc in texinfo; it is unnecessaryKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi: avoid @sc and use explicit capitals. * doc/local.mk (sc-use-small-caps-NUL): Remove, as no longer applicable.
2013-01-04doc: remove stale pr news in the manualKarl Berry
* coreutils.texi (pr invocation): remove list of ancient news items; the main documentation already covers what is needed.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2013-01-01build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
2012-12-31maint: adjust NEWS entry wordingJim Meyering
* NEWS: Adjust wording in a few entries.
2012-12-27doc: improve od --help and man pagePádraig Brady
* src/od.c: Redorder the information output by --help to ease interpretation and so that appropriate sections are generated by help2man. * doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation): Fix an incorrect reference to @var{n}, which should be @var{bytes}. * man/od.x: Add an "Examples" section, and move the default od format to there, and add a commonly required format to generate hexdumps. Reported by Akim Demaille in http://bugs.gnu.org/13280.
2012-12-21factor: disable x86_64 assembly code for x32 buildsMike Frysinger
The current x86_64 asm code does not work for x32 (__ILP32__) ABIs, so disable it. Note simply deleting the q suffix is not enough. * src/longlong.h: Restrict x86_64 assembly to _LP64 targets, which is consistent with other checks in longlong.h and avoids this code on x32. * NEWS: Mention the build fix.
2012-12-21tests: avoid false positive valgrind failuresPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_valgrind_): Check the `true` program, which will check more valgrind failure cases as now detailed in the function comments.
2012-12-21dd: fix a printf format mismatch in an error messagePádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (dd_copy): To print an off_t portably we need to use PRIdMAX and cast to intmax_t, otherwise there could be a mismatch between say a 32 bit off_t and uintmax_t. This was flagged by -Wformat on a 64 bit host when compiling with CFLAGS=-m32.
2012-12-21seq: fix newline output when -s specifiedPádraig Brady
This regression was introduced in commit v8.19-132-g3786fb6. * src/seq.c (seq_fast): Don't use puts() to output the first number, and instead insert it into the buffer as for other numbers. Also output the terminator unconditionally. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add some basic tests for the -s option. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS.in: Reported by Philipp Gortan.
2012-12-20tests: add tests for basename's --zero optionBernhard Voelker
The -z option has been introduced in commit v8.15-60-ga3eb71a, i.e. in coreutils-8.16. Time to add some tests for it. * tests/misc/basename.pl: Add tests exercising the -z option. In the foreach loop to append a newline to the end of each expected 'OUT' string, skip the -z tests.
2012-12-20doc: tweak 'lcov' in HACKINGAssaf Gordon
* HACKING: In the paragraph about creating coverage statistics, use the correct -b (--base-directory) parameter.
2012-12-19maint: rewrap a long line noticed by make syntax-checkPádraig Brady
* configure.ac: Wrap the recently introduced long line.
2012-12-19doc: clarify when dd iflag=fullblock is usefulPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Explain that iflag=fullblock ensures that count= will count blocks rather than reads, and reference that in both the count= and iflag=fullblock descriptions. Suggested by John Reiser.
2012-12-19tests: avoid a race in timeout-group.shPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-group.sh: The kernel might possibly delay signal propagation to timeout.cmd long enough, that it exits normally without running the signal handler (as sleep will be in the same process group and so get the signal too). So avoid this by explicitly checking that the signal handler is called, which should always happen under normal circumstances. Reported by Stefano Lattarini on linux-2.6.30-2-686 and bash-4.2.36.
2012-12-19build: avoid --enable-gcc-warnings on GCC <= 4.5Pádraig Brady
* configure.ac: Only enable warnings automatically when on GCC >= 4.6 (and when building from a git checkout) as that was the first GCC version to support fine-grained control of warnings, allowing them to be adjusted around certain code sections. gnulib relies on this for certain warnings, so avoid auto enabling this option lest we trigger build failures on now over two year old compilers. Reported by Zartaj Majeed with GCC 4.5.3 on cygwin.
2012-12-19build: fix cygwin build issuesZartaj Majeed
* doc/local.mk (doc/constants.texi): Ensure the doc directory is present which is needed when doing a non source dir build, when the doc/constants.texi target is built before other doc targets. * src/local.mk: Add $(EXEEXT) to the make-prime-list calls.
2012-12-17maint: consistently use @dots{} in coreutils.texiPádraig Brady
* doc/coreutils.texi: s/\.\.\./@dots{}/ except in code and examples.
2012-12-17readlink: support multiple command line argumentsPádraig Brady
This allows efficient processing of multiple files, while also increasing compatibility with BSD's readlink(1). We also add the -z, --zero option to delimit output items with the NUL character which disambiguates output in the presence of '\n' characters. * src/readlink.c (usage): Add the --zero description, and also adjust the description of --no-newline accordingly. (main): Handle the -z option and iterate over multiple arguments. Also as in commit v8.15-24-g9d46b25 we use fputs() and putchar() rather than printf() for performance reasons. * doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document the new --zero option, adjust the --no-newline description, and tweak the general info to indicate multiple files are supported. * tests/readlink/multi.sh: A new test for the new functionality. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * man/readlink.x: Adjust the summary and also reference realpath. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. * THANKS.in: Suggested by Aaron Davies.
2012-12-15maint: update gitignore entriesAssaf Gordon
* .gitignore: ignore GCC coverage data files.
2012-12-15doc: mention "git stash" in HACKINGAssaf Gordon
* HACKING: In the paragraph about switching branches, mention "git stash" as a way to continue while preserving uncommitted changes.
2012-12-15tail,stat: improve support for the ceph file systemBernhard Voelker
Teach tail -f that it must use polling on ceph file systems, and let stat -f --format=%T report the file system type name, "ceph". Website: http://ceph.com/ * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add a case: ceph, 0x00C36400, remote. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it. * THANKS.in: Update. Reported by Konrad Wróblewski in http://bugs.gnu.org/13172.
2012-12-14maint: fix typos found by misspellingsBernhard Voelker
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): s/occurence/occurrence/. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: s/supressed/suppressed/
2012-12-09tests: add test case and note that last week's cut change is a bug fixJim Meyering
* tests/misc/cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh: New test, showing that the change in v8.20-51-g7d03466 is a bug fix after all. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-12-08cp: fix --no-preserve=mode to not exit 1Bernhard Voelker
cp --no-preserve=mode exited 1 unconditionally. Furthermore, the tests which would have detected this error - namely link-preserve.sh and reserve-mode.sh - failed to test cp's exit code. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): In the case x->explicit_no_preserve_mode, do only set return_val to false iff the previous set_acl () failed. * tests/cp/link-preserve.sh: Check cp's exit code. * tests/cp/link-symlink.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/preserve-mode.sh: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Bug introduced in commit v8.19-145-g24ebca6. Reported by Florian Pritz in http://bugs.gnu.org/13119.
2012-12-07df: do not print duplicate entries and rootfs by defaultOndrej Oprala
* src/df.c (struct devlist): Add new struct for storing already- examined device numbers. (devlist_head): Add new store of the above type. (show_rootfs): Add new global boolean to not skip rootfs. (dev_examined): Add new function to check if the device has already been traversed. (get_dev): Filter out rootfs unless "-t rootfs" or the -a option is specified. Filter out duplicate entries by calling the above new dev_examined unless the -a option is specified. (main): Set the show_rootfs variable appropriately when the -t option is specified for rootfs. Free device list (guarded by IF_LINT). * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Add test to exercise the skipping of duplicate entries. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Add test to exercise the skipping of the rootfs pseudo file system. * tests/local.mk: Add the above new tests. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the changes. * doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Document df's behavior about skipping rootfs and duplicate entries. Co-authored-by: Bernhard Voelker.
2012-12-06cut: avoid a redundant heap allocationCojocaru Alexandru
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't allocate memory for `printable_field' if there are no finite ranges. This is achieved by keeping max_range_endpoint as 0 when there are no finite ranges. max_range_endpoint is then used throughout the code to guard against allocation of, and access to the bit array. The extra allocation was introduced via commit v8.10-3-g2e636af.
2012-12-06maint: fix a referenced coreutils version in a test commentPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/cut.pl: This particular bug existed up to v8.10.
2012-12-06tests: fix regex to match "-" in ipcent field in df/total-verify.shBernhard Voelker
The regular expression failed to match for file systems that do not provide inode statistics, e.g. VFAT or CIFS (depending on the underlying peer file system). * tests/df/total-verify.sh: Fix the regular expression to match a dash in the ipcent field again. Reported by Assaf Gordon in http://bugs.gnu.org/13099. Bug introduced in commit v8.20-18-gdae8d22.
2012-12-06maint: adjust HACKING instructions to run a single testAssaf Gordon
* HACKING: Adjust as per the recent changes introduced when switching to non recursive make.
