2009-03-11cat: Fix immediate output of processed dataPádraig Brady
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...". * NEWS: Mention the bugfix. * src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing of processed data before a blocking read() is done. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
2009-03-11cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 32KiBPádraig Brady
This is following on from this change: [02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...] which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times, but also capped it at 32KiB. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead. * src/cat.c: Use it. * src/copy.c: ditto * src/split.c: ditto
2009-03-08tests: add a test for newly-fixed bug in comm --check-orderJim Meyering

2009-03-08gnulib: sync submodule to latestJim Meyering
2009-03-07pr: fix a bug whereby --indent=N (-o) did not indent header linesJim Meyering
* src/pr.c (print_header): Honor chars_per_margin also for the header. Inspired by a patch from C de-Avillez. This change also adjusts two other %*s directives to be %*.*s instead, (for the padding on either side of "file_text") to correct a bug that could make pr print one space of padding instead of none. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/pr/o3Jml24f-lm-lo: Adjust for new expected output. * tests/pr/o3a3Sl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3a3Snl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3a3l24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3Sl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3Snl24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3b3l24f-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3mSl24f-bl-tn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3mSnl24fbltn: Likewise. * tests/pr/o3ml24f-bl-tn: Likewise.

* .gitmodules: New file, to track gnulib. * gnulib: New file, created by running this: git submodule add git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
2009-03-07build: allow ./bootstrap --srcdir=... to work with a git submoduleJim Meyering
* bootstrap (git_modules_config): Use GIT_CONFIG, not GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL. The latter was removed in v1.5.6.1-109-gdc87183.
2009-03-07build: avoid "multiply defined..." warning from automakeJim Meyering
* Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Add $(WARN_CFLAGS) via +=, not =, to avoid "multiply defined..." warning from automake.
2009-03-06cat: use larger buffer sizes to reduce read/write-syscall overheadJim Meyering
* src/cat.c (max): Remove definition. Use MAX from system.h instead. (compute_buffer_size): New function to compute the input and output buffer sizes, which are now set at 8 times st_blksize with a maximum of 32KiB. Previously the typical block sizes used were 1KiB for pipes and 4KiB for files, and now will be 8KiB and 32KiB respectively. (main): Use it. This change can double throughput on modern systems. For timings, see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/16040 Suggestion from Tzvi Rotshtein.

2009-03-02tests: rm/ext3-perf: relax this testJim Meyering
* tests/rm/ext3-perf: If set-up takes too long, use the set-up time as the removal time limit. Otherwise, a parallel "make check" would usually fail when run with RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes.
2009-03-02tests: don't skip setgid-dir related tests on SELinux-enabled systemsJim Meyering
* tests/setgid-check: The change in ls (use ".", not "+") caused this check always to report the working directory as set-gid. Now, use stat, not ls.
2009-03-02tests: reflect the s/+/./ SELinux indicator changeJim Meyering
* tests/mkdir/perm: Now that this test is no longer always skipped, make it work independently of ls: use stat, not ls, to get perm string. * test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): Use stat, not ls to get perm string This test was run only when RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes was set.
2009-03-02tests: when skipping a test, say why on screen, not just in the logJim Meyering

2009-02-27cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once againJim Meyering
Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/... rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure. The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change [3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases] that introduced the bug: - remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); + if (!x->hard_link) + remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs. And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it. Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary to record the pair only for the first directory created for each source command-line argument. I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail. That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually) with the unwanted recursion. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter. (copy_dir, copy): Update callers. (copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop. * tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above. Reported by Mikael Magnusson.
2009-02-26tests: stty-row-col would hang when run in the backgroundJim Meyering
* tests/misc/stty-row-col: Don't hang when run in background at least on Solaris 10 and OpenBSD.
2009-02-26sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of fieldPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c: When no specific number of chars to skip is specified for the end field, always skip the whole field. Also never include leading spaces from next field. * tests/misc/sort: Add 2 new tests for these cases. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * THANKS: Add bug reporter. Reported by Davide Canova.
2009-02-26argv-iter: avoid variadic macroEric Blake
* gl/lib/argv-iter.h (_ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL_): Don't assume C99 variadic macros are portable yet; needed for at least IRIX/MIPSpro. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Stuart Shelton.
2009-02-26tests: Remove system specific error stringsPádraig Brady
* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Just check for the non system specific part of the error strings. This was causing an erroneous failure on NetBSD 1.6 at least.
2009-02-25tests: using printf with \e for ESC isn't portableJim Meyering
* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Use \33, not \e for ascii ESC. This test failed when using the built-in printf of /bin/sh from NetBSD 1.6.
2009-02-24Ensure comment for translators is included in po filePádraig Brady
Issue reported by Göran Uddeborg. * src/system.h: Move the translator comment adjacent to the translated string. * THANKS: Update Göran's email address.
