2011-03-05dd: add a flag to discard cached dataPádraig Brady
* src/dd.c (FFS_MASK): A new macro (Find First Set) refactored from the following enum as it's now used twice. (usage): Mention the new 'nocache' flag. (cache_round): A new function to help ignore requests to drop cache, that are less than page_size. (invalidate_cache): A new function to call posix_fadvise() with the appropriate offset and length. Note we don't use fdadvise() so we can detect errors when count=0. (dd_copy): Call invalidate_cache() for the portions read. (iwrite): Likewise for the portions written. (main): Call invalidate_cache for page_size slop or for full file when count=0. * cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): Adjust to pass. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Describe the 'nocache' flag, and give some examples of how it can be used. * tests/dd/nocache: A new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.

2010-05-09tests: loosen/tighten the always_defined_macros checkJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (.re-defmac): Generate better regexps: allow white space before the '#', and append a word-boundary requirement. Without the latter, #define NULL_DEV ... would evoke a false-positive.
2010-05-09tests: improve the always_defined_macros checkJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros): Adjust its helpers not to depend on the existence of ./lib. Instead, extract symbols directly from gnulib/lib/*.in.h files.
2010-05-03doc: factor hard-coded project-specific bits from README-release, ...Jim Meyering
using the new --mail-headers option to gnulib's announce-gen, and the updated maint.mk rules to connect the pieces. * README-release: Remove hard-coded To:, Cc: etc. parts, now that they're emitted automatically into the announcement template. * cfg.mk (announcement_Cc_): Override the default. * gnulib: Update to latest, to get newer announce-gen and maint.mk.
2010-05-03maint: factor trap-related code out of two syntax-check rulesJim Meyering

2010-05-03maint: extend the always_defined_macros syntax-checkJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (gl_generated_headers_): Define. (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Remove headers covered by the above. (.re-defmac): Extract symbol names from many more files. (sc_always_defined_macros): Use VC_LIST_EXCEPT, not VC_LIST, so that we can use the usual exception mechanism. Test for $(gnulib_dir), not system.h. * .x-sc_always_defined_macros: New file. Exempt src/seq.c. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add it here.

2010-04-23tests: fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scriptsDmitry V. Levin
The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly. * cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): Set the exit code in signal handler explicitly to 128 + SIG<SIGNAL>. * src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
2010-04-11tests: more syntax-checksJim Meyering
* gnulib: update to latest * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Remove, now that it's in gnulib's maint.mk. (_hv_file): Override the default.
2010-04-10maint: new syntax-check rule: prohibit empty lines at EOFJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (detect_empty_lines_at_EOF_): Define. (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): New rule. * .x-sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF: New file. Exempt pr test inputs. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Add it. Pádraig Brady suggested to parse the output of tail -n1.
2010-04-02build: update gnulib submodule to latestJim Meyering
* cfg.mk: Update to use new _sc_search_regexp interface. Run this: perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;' -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
2010-03-29tests: disable new texinfo-acronym syntax-check from gnulibJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
2010-03-21cfg.mk: remove comments with sed rather than cpp -fpreprocessedJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (_sed_remove_comments): Define, starting with gettext's moopp sed code, but factoring it to be more understandable. (sc_space_before_open_paren): Adapt. Prompted by Bruno Haible's suggestion to use gettext's moopp code.
2010-03-20cfg.mk: fix copy-paste-o in a diagnosticJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): Mention cpp -fpreprocessed, not cppi, when cpp -fpreprocessed doesn't work. Spotted by Eric Blake.
2010-03-20maint: enforce one small aspect of formatting style: space-before-"("Jim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_space_before_open_paren): New rule.
2010-02-19maint: clean up the output from syntax-check rulesPádraig Brady
* cfg.mk (sc_tight_scope): Pass the -s (silent) flag to `make` so that it doesn't report about calling sub makes. (sc_check-AUTHORS): Likewise. (sc_strftime_check): Don't display stderr from `info`. * src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Don't annotate with "GEN". (sc_check-AUTHORS): Likewise.
2010-02-16maint: fix the man page correlation testsPádraig Brady
These checks were not being run as distcheck-hook targets are only supported in the top-level Makefile. Instead these tests are now run during a syntax-check. * cfg.mk (sc_man_file_correlation): A new syntax check to call the 2 existing tests to check the correlation between the programs and man/*.[1x]. * man/Makefile.am (sc_man_file_correlation): Call the 2 existing man page correlation tests. (check-x-vs-1): Remove the "GEN" annotation as it's a bit verbose. (check-programs-vs-x): Likewise. * src/Makefile.am (all_programs.list): Exclude libstdbuf.so from the list of programs. This issue was not noticed as the checks were not actually being run.
2010-02-15doc: fix inconsistent capitalization in --help outputPádraig Brady
* src/base64.c (usage): Don't capitalize the first character in an --option description. * src/stdbuf.c (usage): Likewise. * src/truncate.c (usage): Likewise. * cfg.mk (sc_option_desc_uppercase): A new syntax check to stop this happening in future. * man/Makefile.am (sc_option_desc_uppercase): Ensure all man pages are generated, then search for erroneous uppercase chars. * src/Makefile.am (all_programs): Ensure all commands are built so that all man pages can be generated.
2010-01-28maint: move vulnerable-Makefile.in-check to gnulibJim Meyering

2010-01-24tests: fix a syntax-check rule to pass in non-srcdir buildJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (sc_x_sc_dist_check): This coreutils-specific syntax-check rule would fail in a non-srcdir build, since in that case, each name from $(VC_LIST) starts with "$(srcdir)/". Fix that. * gnulib: Update to latest, to pull in a required maint.mk change.

2009-11-24build: fix link failure on cygwinEric Blake
Cygwin 1.5 has a broken sleep, and the gnulib tests dragged in rpl_sleep which then caused a link failure because it wasn't in libcoreutils.a. We could solve it by using the gnulib sleep module. However, sleep and usleep may interact poorly with SIGALRM, and they have less granularity; so it is better to adopt a policy that if we must sleep, prefer xnanosleep. * src/sort.c (pipe_fork): Use xnanosleep, to avoid the need for rpl_sleep on cygwin, and to reduce granularity. (MAX_FORK_TRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_TRIES_DECOMPRESS): Increase, to account for reduction in granularity. * src/tail.c (tail_file): Use xnanosleep in debug code. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sleep): New rule.
2009-11-20maint: cfg.mk: remove factored-out ftp host/dir definitionsJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, gnu_ftp_host-beta gnu_ftp_host-stable): (gnu_rel_host, url_dir_list): Remove definitions. The defaults, now provided by maint.mk, are the same. * gnulib: Update for latest, including those maint.mk additions.
2009-11-18build: "make stable" emitted an invalid gnupload commandJim Meyering
* cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-stable): Rename from gnu_ftp_host-major. * README-release: Change another s/major/stable/.

2009-11-07build: consistently use freopen-saferEric Blake
cat, head, ptx, shuf, tac, tail, tee, tr, and uniq used freopen on stdout, and were potentially vulnerable. dircolors, du, and tsort only used it on stdin, which is unaffected by freopen_safer, but this covers all uses for consistency. * cfg.mk (sc_require_stdio_safer): New rule. * gl/modules/xfreopen (Depends-on): Add freopen-safer. * gl/lib/xfreopen.c (includes): Use stdio--.h. * src/ptx.c (includes): Likewise. * src/shuf.c (includes): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (includes): Likewise. * src/dircolors.c (includes): Likewise. * src/du.c (includes): Likewise. * src/tsort.c (includes): Likewise.
