Run "make update-copyright" and then...
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message,
so that year is updated automatically in future.
|
|
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.

* gl/lib/heap.c: Move declaration to the top of scope.
Reported by Rob McMahon and Wolfgang Steinwender
in relation to "Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 Patch 111679-12
2003/05/18" and "GCC 2.95.3" respectively.

Run "make update-copyright".

* gl/lib/heap.c (struct heap): Move this here...
* gl/lib/heap.h (struct heap): ... from here, as outside code no
longer needs to access any of these members.
|

* src/sort.c (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator, stream_open, xfopen):
(open_temp, zaptemp, struct_month_cmp, begfield, limfield):
(find_unit_order, human_numcompare, numcompare, general_numcompare):
(count_tabs, keycompare, compare, compare_nodes, lock_node):
(unlock_node, queue_destroy, queue_init, queue_insert, queue_pop):
(write_unique, mergelines_node, check_insert, update_parent):
(merge_loop, sortlines, struct thread_args, set_ordering):
Prefer the style "T const" to "const T".
* gl/lib/heap.h (struct heap, heap_alloc): Likewise.
* gl/lib/heap.c (heap_default_compare, heapify_down, heapify_up):
(heap_alloc): Likewise.
|
|
* gl/lib/heap.c (heap_alloc): Use xnmalloc rather than xmalloc,
to avoid pathological overflow.
|
|
* gl/lib/heap.c (heap_alloc): Use the fact that the xalloc
routines will not return NULL. Also remove the redundant
temporary variables.
(heap_insert): From Jim Meyering, use x2nrealloc() which
is simpler while handling overflow and increasing the
size more efficiently. This reallocation is currently
unused by coreutils in any case as it preallocates enough.

This patch is by Gene Auyeung, Chris Dickens, Chen Guo, and Mike
Nichols, based off of a patch by Paul Eggert, Glen Lenker, et. al.,
with a basic heap implementation based off of the GDSL heap,
originally by Nicolas Darnis.
The number of sorts done in parallel is limited to the number
of available processors by default, or can be further restricted
with the --parallel option.
On a dual-die, 8 core Intel Xeon, results show sorting with
8 threads is almost 4 times faster than using a single thread.
Timings when sorting a 96MB file:
THREADS TIME (s)
1 5.10
2 2.87
4 1.75
8 1.31
Single threaded sorting has also been improved,
especially for cheaper comparison operations:
COMMAND BEFORE (s) AFTER (s)
sort 8.822 8.716
sort -g 10.336 10.222
sort -n 3.077 2.961
LANG=C sort 2.169 2.066
* bootstrap.conf: Add heap, pthread.
* coreutils.texi (sort): Describe the new --parallel option.
* gl/lib/heap.c: New file. Very basic heap implementation.
* gl/lib/heap.h: New file.
* gl/modules/heap: New file.
* src/Makefile.am: Add LIB_PTHREAD.
* src/sort.c: Include heap.h, nproc.h, pthread.h.
