2011-12-03maint: add missing ":" after "License" in local gnulib module filesJim Meyering
This avoids spurious diagnostics when running our "bootstrap" script. * gl/modules/heap: Append colon after "License". * gl/modules/randint: Likewise. * gl/modules/randperm: Likewise. * gl/modules/randread: Likewise. Reported by Stefano Lattarini. Diagnosed by Bruno Haible.
2011-05-14shuf: use memory more efficiently when returning a subsetPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/randperm.c (randperm_new): When the number of items to return H, is much smaller than the total number of items N, use a hash to represent the sparse permutations of the set N. This is currently enabled for N > 128K and N/H > 32. * tests/misc/shuf: Ensure shuf can quickly return 2 numbers from a large range. * gl/modules/randperm: Depend on hash. * NEWS: Mention the change.
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.
