2008-12-23build: do enable $(WERROR_CFLAGS) for src/ files.Jim Meyering
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 292d68565a34b237cd2bf586ace545b7cd3dbfcf.
2008-12-23doc: stty: Clarification of some input and output settingsPádraig Brady
* 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.
2008-12-23timeout: remove problematic castsPádraig Brady
* 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.
2008-12-21* .x-sc_require_config_h: Remove obsolete regexps.Jim Meyering
2008-12-21maint.mk: enforce the "include <config.h> first" ruleJim Meyering
* maint.mk (sc_require_config_h_first): New rule. * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: New file.

2008-12-17doc: Remove curly quotes from shell examples in man pagesPádraig Brady
Use \(aq rather than a literal ' as groff will convert apostrophe to a right quote (\u2029) in utf8 locales for example. Stepan Kasal details the issue and fix here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-12/msg00124.html
2008-12-16ChangeLog-2008: say ChangeLog files are no longer manually maintainedJim Meyering

2008-12-02wc: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,Jim Meyering
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.
2008-12-02du: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,Jim Meyering
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. Reported by Barry Kelly. More details in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/15159/

2008-12-01tests: dd/reblock: Reduce chance of timing related failuresPádraig Brady
* 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.
2008-11-30m4: avoid a warning from gcc's -Wstrict-prototypesJim Meyering
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL): Use proper prototype for usage.

2008-11-30tests: start long-running cp/link-heap earlierJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move cp/link-heap nearer the start of the list, so that its termination doesn't delay a parallel "make check".
2008-11-30tests: avoid failure of cp/link-heap on some systemsJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-heap: Raise virtual memory limit from 10,000 to 14,000, to avoid failure on Debian/unstable (libc6 2.7-16).
2008-11-30remove explicit declaration of putenv, ...Jim Meyering

* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Make one more @var{bytes} -> @var{n} change.
2008-11-26doc: tail: fix description of --bytes=N (-c)Pádraig Brady
* 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>.
2008-11-23doc: move @shortcontents and @contents from end to startKarl Berry
* doc/coreutils.texi: Move @shortcontents and @contents from the end to the beginning, just after "@end titlepage".
2008-11-23doc (stat): clarify: there are two sets of format directivesJim Meyering
* doc/coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Clarify description of --file-system format directives.
2008-11-23doc (stat): correct formatting in coreutils.texiKarl Berry
* 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.
2008-11-22tests: dd: add a test for the required behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/dd/reblock: New file. Test for the required functionality. Based on an example and discussion from this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/reblock.
2008-11-22Revert part of "dd: avoid unnecessary memory copies"Pádraig Brady
This reverts part of commit fbd87029cfc494a72bb73ade27ef46382c5bc832. Paul Eggert noticed the problem in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-11/msg00153.html * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Clarify.
2008-11-21getlimits: A new utility for use in coreutils' testsPádraig Brady
* 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.
2008-11-21dd: avoid unnecessary memory copiesPádraig Brady
* 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.
2008-11-20cp: use far less memory in some casesJim Meyering
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.
2008-11-20tests: add a test of cp --preserve=linksJim Meyering
* tests/cp/link-preserve: Add a case and comments.
