2009-04-07maint: remove compiler warnings from randint and randread modulesPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/randint.c: Remove unused MAX macro * gl/lib/randread.c (randread_error): Add __attribute__((__noreturn__))
2009-04-07shred,sort,shuf: don't use /dev/urandom by defaultPádraig Brady
Suggestion from Steven Schveighoffer at: http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6797 to greatly speed up the random passes done by shred. * gl/lib/randread.c: Default to using the internal pseudorandom generator, rather than reading /dev/urandom * src/shred.c (usage): remove mention of /dev/urandom * src/shuf.c (usage); ditto * src/sort.c (usage): ditto * doc/coreutils.text: Document the new behaviour for aquiring random data.
2009-03-15maint: remove unused include and definitionsJim Meyering
* gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Remove unused definition. (ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED): Likewise. * gl/lib/selinux-at.c (_): Remove unused definition. Don't include <gettext.h>. No longer needed.
2008-01-17Do not define-away __attribute__ when __STRICT_ANSI__ is set.Jim Meyering
* src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ disjunct. It has been unnecessary since approximately gcc-2.6, and now, leaving it would cause gcc -Werror -ansi to fail to compile csplit.c. * gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Likewise.
2007-10-07Convert coreutils' rand*.{c,h,m4} into modules.Jim Meyering
First step: move these files to gl/lib: * lib/rand-isaac.c, lib/rand-isaac.h * lib/randint.c, lib/randint.h * lib/randperm.c, lib/randperm.h * lib/randread.c, lib/randread.h Step 2: add modules/rand* and remove now-unneeded .m4 files. * gl/modules/randint: New file. * gl/modules/randperm: New file. * gl/modules/randread: New file. * m4/randint.m4: Remove file. * m4/randperm.m4: Remove file. * m4/randread.m4: Remove file. Step 3: use the new modules * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add randint and randperm. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_RANDINT, gl_RANDREAD, gl_RANDPERM): Don't require; These have been removed. (gl_ROOT_DEV_INO): Don't require; already handled via bootstrap.conf.
