2008-08-10sort: don't print uninitialized in diagnosticJim Meyering
* src/sort.c (specify_nmerge): Do use uinttostr value. Provoke with e.g., sort -m --batch-size=18446744073709551617 Omit quotes around known-numeric value in diagnostic. * tests/misc/sort-merge [nmerge-big]: Tighten ERR_SUBST regexp to require a numeric value in that diagnostic, so this particular failure cannot reappear.
2008-08-09* .gitattributes: Better diff output for texinfo sources.Jim Meyering
2008-08-09dd.c: reduce duplication in new O_FULLBLOCK-defining codeJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (MULTIPLE_BITS_SET): New macro, extracted from... (multiple_bits_set): ...this function. Use a single-line, and far simpler expression (no need to list all O_* symbols again) to validate the derived O_FULLBLOCK value.
2008-08-09* coreutils.texi (factor invocation, expr invocation): Adjust wording.Jim Meyering
2008-08-09expr: avoid compiler warningsJim Meyering
* src/expr.c (die): New "noreturn" function to wrap one-arg use of error (string_too_long): Use die rather than error. (toint): Remove definition of now-unused function. (eval6): Remove a little duplication. Use die rather than error. (dodivide): Remove declaration of now-unused variable.
2008-08-09* tests/misc/expr: Add tests of the new GMP-based code.Jim Meyering
2008-08-06expr: support arbitrary-precision arithmeticJames Youngman
* src/Makefile.am (expr_LDADD): Link expr against GNU MP. * doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Describe --bignum, --no-bignum. Explain the new arbitrary-precision functionality. * NEWS: Indicate that arbitrary-precision arithmetic is now supported in expr. * src/expr.c (enum valtype): Added mp_integer, signifying a GNU MP number. (usage): Document the new options --bignum and --no-bignum which force and prohibit the use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic, respectively. (long_options): data structure for getopt_long, which we need to use to parse the options mentioned above. (main): parse these options with getopt_long instead of parse_long_options. (valinfo): Downgrade the numeric member of the union from intmax_t to signed long, since MP lacks functions for promoting an intmax_t to an arbitrary-precision quantity. (enum arithmetic_mode): Represents the current choice between --bignum, --no-bignum and the default (automatically switch from one to the other if needed). (integer_overflow): issue a more explicit error message indicating that MP is not available. (string_too_long): new function, emits a fatal error message for the case where an argument to the 'index' expression is too long for a string offset to be represented. (int_value): With --bignum, create the value as mp_integer rather than plain integer. (substr_value): factored out of eval6; implements "substr". (freev): also destroy mp_integer values. Check that no mp_integer values exist if --no-bignum was specified. (printv, null, tostring): support mp_integer. (toint): new funtion for converting from string or mp_integer to integer. (getsize): extracts a size_t value from a VALUE object; used to implement substr. (promote): promotes a value from integer to mp_integer. (domult, dodivide): functions for multiplication and division, factored out of eval4. (doadd): addition/subraction function, factpred out of eval3. (eval3): support mp_integer types; call doadd. (eval4): support mp_integer types; call domult, dodivide. (eval6): support mp_integer offsets and lengths for "substr" and "index". * TODO: Mention that expr supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and suggest that this might also be a good idea for seq. * AUTHORS (expr): Add James Youngman.
2008-08-06doc: mv,cp: undocument the --reply optionJames Youngman
* doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Remove documentation for mv --reply. (cp invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: mention this.

2008-08-05ls: ignore spurious getfilecon failure due to lack of SELinux supportJohn David Anglin
* src/ls.c (gobble_file): Upon failed getfilecon, treat an errno value of EOPNOTSUPP just like ENOTSUP. See <http://bugs.debian.org/488549>.
2008-08-05Document uptime.James Youngman
* doc/coreutils.texi (uptime invocation): document uptime. * TODO: uptime is documented now. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Use fprintftime to print the time, rather than printf. This should make the situation better for translations.
2008-08-04doc: correct and normalize --help output of several toolsBenno Schulenberg
* src/chroot.c (usage): Add "[ARG]" to synopsis. * src/cut.c (usage): Remove an inconsistent period in an option description. * src/du.c (usage): Remove superfluous argument after short option -X. Also remove inconsistent uppercase and final period. Use a single indent level for prettiness. * src/shred.c (usage): Normalize the synopsis. * src/stty.c (usage): Options -F and --file are alternatives, cannot both be used. * src/sum.c (usage): -r does not overrule -s; the last one counts. * src/uptime.c (usage): Remove inconsistent space from the synopsis. * src/users.c: Likewise.
2008-08-04false: mark "false" description for translationJim Meyering
* src/true.c (usage): Mark both strings with N_, so that the one for "false" is also extracted for translation. For consistency, mark both, although only the latter one needed it. Inspired by a patch from Benno Schulenberg.
2008-08-04factor: credit Torbjörn GranlundJames Youngman
* src/factor.c: Credit Torbjörn Granlund as the author of the arbitrary-precision factorization code.

(emit_factor, emit_ul_factor, factor_using_division, factor_using_pollard_rho, extract_factors_multi, sort_and_print_factors, free_factors): new functions for the arbitrary-precision implementation, taken from an example in GNU MP. (factor_wheel): Renamed; was called factor. (print_factors_single): Renamed; was called print_factors. (print_factors): New function, chooses between the single- and arbitrary-precision algorithms according to availability of GNU MP and the length of the number to be factored. (usage, main): New options --bignum and --no-bignum. * coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Document new command-line options for the MP implementation and update the performance numbers to take into account the asymptotically faster algorithm. * TODO: Remove item about factoring large primes (it's done). * m4/gmp.m4: Add support for --without-gmp. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
2008-08-01ls -U1 now uses constant memoryKamil Dudka
When printing one name per line and not sorting, ls now uses constant memory per directory, no matter how many files are in the directory. * ls.c (print_dir): Print each file name immediately, when possible. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

2008-07-23dd: minor fullblock changesJim Meyering
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Define using an enum, not #define. Derive the value, rather than hard-coding to one that might conflict. (usage): Mention iflag=fullblock in --help output. (scanargs): Reset the O_FULLBLOCK bit, so that we don't try to set an undefined attribute via fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, ... * tests/dd/misc: Signal framework_failure when necessary. Use "compare actual expected", so any diffs look "right". * NEWS (dd): Alphabetize and reword. * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Adjust wording.

2008-07-16* HACKING: describe how to find a misplaced change-setJim Meyering
2008-07-15fix two bugs in ptxJim Meyering
* src/ptx.c (fix_output_parameters): Don't let before_max_width go negative -- that would cause an infloop in define_all_fields. (main): Don't clobber name[0] with lists of two or more input files. * tests/misc/ptx: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/ptx.
2008-07-11tests: expand: test for lines starting with both spaces and tabsPádraig Brady
The expand released in current distributions (Fedora Core 4 - Fedora 9 at least), doesn't expand --initial tabs if spaces are present. tests/misc/expand: Add test to verify --initial works correctly with lines starting with both spaces and tabs.
2008-07-10make check: accommodate stricter POSIX-conforming shellsJim Meyering
Without this, test-related variable settings were not exported to the shell_or_perl_ function when using dash or Solaris 11's /bin/sh. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Use an explicit "export", so as not to rely on non-POSIX behavior of some /bin/sh (e.g., bash-based ones).
2008-07-06* bootstrap: Remove $bt and $bt2 also when not using gettext.Jim Meyering
2008-07-04who -r: don't print "last=" when the corresponding byte is unprintableJim Meyering

2008-07-04* README-hacking: Update the section on LZMA.Jim Meyering
2008-06-30truncate: ignore whitespace in --size parametersPádraig Brady
Without this, `truncate -s '> -1' F` would truncate F to length 0, and `truncate -s " +1" F` would truncate F to 1 byte. Now, each elicits a diagnostic. * src/truncate.c: Skip leading white space in the --size option argument and any white space after one of the relative modifiers, so that the presence of a +/- modifier can be detected reliably. * tests/misc/truncate-parameters: Add tests for the above.
2008-06-28doc: add "..." to Usage, to indicate there may be multiple OPTIONsJim Meyering
* src/base64.c (usage): Likewise. * src/cat.c (usage): Likewise. * src/md5sum.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkdir.c (usage): Likewise. * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise. * src/split.c (usage): Likewise. * src/stat.c (usage): Likewise. Heiko Marr reported the problem with mkdir.

* src/mkfifo.c (usage): Put it *after* the "Mandatory arguments..." line.
2008-06-28uniq: remove redundant testJim Meyering
* src/uniq.c (find_field): Remove redundant test in outer loop- termination expression. Also, add a "const" attribute.
2008-06-27timeout: fix invalid argument testsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Remove test for invalid signal number (we don't know what signal numbers are invalid on all systems). Also tweak the other invalid signal check so that the rest of the arguments are correct.
2008-06-27avoid a -Wsign-compare warningJim Meyering
* src/tee.c (tee_files): Swap fwrite's size/n_elem args and compare the return value against "1".
