2015-11-04all: avoid quoting file names when possiblePádraig Brady
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always" methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells, and better support copy and paste of presented names. The "always" variant is used when the file name is embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces. * cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule to suggest quotef() where appropriate. (sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf(). * src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting when needed. I.E. when shell character or ':' is present. (quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote. * src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote() where appropriate. * tests/: Adjust accordingly.
2015-10-27all: quote string arguments in error messagesPádraig Brady
These strings are often file names or other user specified parameters, which can give confusing errors in the presence of unexpected characters for example. * cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule. * src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote(). * tests/: Adjust accordingly. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2015-09-12cut: refactor into set-fields moduleAssaf Gordon
Extract the functionality of parsing --field=LIST into a separate module, to be used by other programs. * src/cut.c: move field parsing code from here ... * src/set-fields.{c,h}: ... to here. (set_fields): generalize by supporting multiple parsing/reporting options. (struct range_pair): rename to field_range_pair. * src/local.mk: link cut with set-field. * po/POTFILES.in: add set-field.c * tests/misc/cut.pl: update wording of error messages

2015-01-31doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and commentsBernhard Voelker
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule.

2014-06-01cut: restore special case handling of -f with -d$'\n'Pádraig Brady
commits v8.20-98-g51ce0bf and v8.20-99-gd302aed changed cut(1) to process each line independently and thus promptly output each line without buffering. As part of those changes we removed the special handling of --delimiter=$'\n' --fields=... which could be used to select arbitrary (ranges of) lines, so as to simplify and optimize the implementation while also matching the behavior of different cut(1) implementations. However that GNU behavior was in place for a long time, and could be useful in certain cases like making a separated list like `seq 10 | cut -f1- -d$'\n' --output-delimiter=,` although other tools like head(1) and paste(1) are more suited to this operation. This patch reinstates that functionality but restricts the "line behind" buffering behavior to only the -d$'\n' case. We also fix the following related edge case to be more consistent: before> printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 2 before> printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 after > printf "\n" | cut -s -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 after > printf "\n" | cut -d$'\n' -f1- | wc -l 1 * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust as discussed above. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior both for v8.21 and this effective revert. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust for originally omitted v8.21 entry. * src/paste.c: s/delimeter/delimiter/ comment typo fix.
2014-04-05maint: various cleanupsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Fix comment misspelling. * src/cut.c: Likewise. * src/tsort.c (detect_loop): Replace an fprintf() with error().
2014-01-02maint: update all copyright year number rangesBernhard Voelker
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.
2013-05-08cut: improve performance, especially with --output-delimiterCojocaru Alexandru
Use a sentinel value that's checked implicitly, rather than a bit array, to determine if an item should be output. Benchmark results for this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig sentinel; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.049s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.005s == sentinel == real 0m0.035s user 0m0.032s sys 0m0.002s ## Again with --output-delimiter ## $ for c in orig sentinel; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 --output-delimiter=: big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.106s user 0m0.103s sys 0m0.002s == sentinel == real 0m0.055s user 0m0.052s sys 0m0.003s eol_range_start: Removed. 'n-' is no longer treated specially, and instead SIZE_MAX is set for the 'hi' limit, and tested implicitly. complement_rp: Used to complement 'rp' when '--complement' is specified. ADD_RANGE_PAIR: Macro renamed to 'add_range_pair' function. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Adjust to the SENTINEL value. Also remove the overlapping range test as this is no longer dependent on large ranges and also is already handled with the EOL-subsumed-3 test in cut.pl.
2013-05-07cut: fix handling of overlapping rangesCojocaru Alexandru
This issue was introduced in commit v8.21-43-g3e466ad * src/cut.c (set_fields): Process all range pairs when merging. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Add a test for this edge case. Also fix an issue where we could miss reported errors due to truncation of the 'err' file.
2013-04-29cut: reduce CPU usage for the the common casePádraig Brady
Ensure appropriate functions are inlined. This was seen to be required with gcc 4.6.0 with -O2 on x86_64 at least. It was reported that gcc 4.8.0 did inline these functions though. Also reinstate the bit vector for the common case, to further improve performance. Benchmark results for both aspects of this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig inline inline-array; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.088s user 0m0.081s sys 0m0.007s == inline == real 0m0.070s user 0m0.060s sys 0m0.009s == inline-array == real 0m0.049s user 0m0.044s sys 0m0.005s * src/cut.c (set_fields): Set up the printable_field bit vector for performance, but only when it's appropriate. I.E. not when either --output-delimeter or huge ranges are specified. (next_item): Ensure it's inlined and avoid unnecessary processing. (print_kth): Ensure it's inlined and add a branch for the fast path. Related to http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-04-29cut: reduce CPU overhead in determining item to outputCojocaru Alexandru
print_kth() is the central function of cut used to determine if an item is to be output or not, so simplify it by moving some logic outside. Benchmark results for this change are: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in orig split; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == orig == real 0m0.111s user 0m0.108s sys 0m0.002s == split == real 0m0.088s user 0m0.081s sys 0m0.007s * src/cut.c (print_kth): Refactor a branch to outside the function. Related to http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-04-29cut: make memory allocation independent of range widthCojocaru Alexandru
The current implementation of cut, uses a bit array, an array of `struct range_pair's, and (when --output-delimiter is specified) a hash_table. The new implementation will use only an array of `struct range_pair's. The old implementation is memory inefficient because: 1. When -b with a big num is specified, it allocates a lot of memory for `printable_field'. 2. When --output-delimiter is specified, it will allocate 31 buckets. Even if only a few ranges are specified. Note CPU overhead is increased to determine if an item is to be printed, as shown by: $ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file $ for c in with-bitarray without-bitarray; do src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null echo -ne "\n== $c ==" time src/cut-$c -b1,3 big-file > /dev/null done == with-bitarray == real 0m0.084s user 0m0.078s sys 0m0.006s == without-bitarray == real 0m0.111s user 0m0.108s sys 0m0.002s Subsequent patches will reduce this overhead. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Set and initialize RP instead of printable_field. * src/cut.c (is_range_start_index): Use CURRENT_RP rather than a hash. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Check if `eol_range_start' is set correctly. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Rename from cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh, and add a test to verify large amounts of mem aren't allocated. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13127
2013-02-04cut: fix a segfault with disjoint open ended rangesPádraig Brady
Fixes the issue introduced in unreleased commit v8.20-60-gec48bea. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't access the bit array if we've an open ended range that's outside any finite range. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests for this case. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/13627
2013-01-26cut: fix -f to work with the -d$'\n' edge casePádraig Brady
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Handle the edge case where '\n' is the delimiter, which could be used for example to suppress the last line if it doesn't contain a '\n'. * test/misc/cut.pl: Add tests for this edge case.
2013-01-26cut: with -f, process each line independentlyPádraig Brady
Previously line N+1 was inspected before line N was fully output, which causes output ordering issues at the terminal or delays from intermittent sources like tail -f. * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust so that we record the previous output character so we can use that info to determine wether to output a '\n' or not. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure existing functionality isn't broken. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes bug http://bugs.gnu.org/13498
2013-01-23maint: define usage note about mandatory args centrallyBernhard Voelker
Each program with at least one long option which is marked as 'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that option, should print a note about mandatory arguments. Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing. * src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function. * src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs. * src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c: * src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c: * src/kill.c, src/ln.c, src/ls.c, src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c: * src/mknod.c, src/mv.c, src/nl.c, src/od.c, src/paste.c: * src/pr.c, src/ptx.c, src/shred.c, src/shuf.c, src/sort.c: * src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c: * src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c: Likewise. * src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function because at least one long option has a required argument. * src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c: * src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c: Likewise.

2012-12-06cut: avoid a redundant heap allocationCojocaru Alexandru
* src/cut.c (set_fields): Don't allocate memory for `printable_field' if there are no finite ranges. This is achieved by keeping max_range_endpoint as 0 when there are no finite ranges. max_range_endpoint is then used throughout the code to guard against allocation of, and access to the bit array. The extra allocation was introduced via commit v8.10-3-g2e636af.
2012-12-06cut: improve error reportingCojocaru Alexandru
* src/cut.c (main): Treat a NUL delimiter (-d '') consistently with non NUL delimiters, and disallow such a delimiter option, unless a field is also specified. (set_fields): Provide a more accurate error message when a given list is invalid. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add a test case.
2012-11-24cut: do not print extraneous delimiters in some unusual casesJim Meyering
When printing output delimiters, and when a to-EOL range subsumes at least one other range, cut would mistakenly print delimiters for the subsumed range. This bug was probably introduced via commit v5.2.1-639-g847e066. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Ignore any range that is subsumed by a to-EOL range. Also, move two declarations down. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to exercise this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/12966
2012-11-24cut: treat -b2-,3- like -b2-, not like -b3-Jim Meyering
* src/cut.c (set_fields): When two right-open-ended ranges are specified, don't blindly let the latter one take precedence over the former. Instead, use the union of the ranges. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to exercise this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/12966 Thanks to Berhard Voelker for catching log and NEWS typos.
2012-11-19cut: do not accept the invalid range 0-Bernhard Voelker
The command "echo 12345 | cut -b 0-" prints an empty line while it should fail with "fields and positions are numbered from 1". * src/cut.c (set_fields): Add a diagnostic for the invalid open range which starts with Zero, i.e., the range 0-. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure the range 0- fails for fields (-f) and for positions (-b, -c). * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Marcel Böhme in <http://bugs.gnu.org/12903>.

2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

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.
2008-06-16remove redundant const directivesJim Meyering
In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones. This removes the redundant ones. Pointed out by Eric Blake. * base64.c, cat.c, chcon.c, chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, comm.c: * cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c, du.c: * env.c, expand.c, fmt.c, fold.c, groups.c, head.c, id.c: * install.c, join.c, kill.c, ln.c, ls.c, md5sum.c, mkdir.c: * mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mktemp.c, mv.c, nice.c, nl.c, od.c: * paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c, pr.c, ptx.c, readlink.c, rm.c: * rmdir.c, runcon.c, seq.c, shred.c, shuf.c, sort.c, split.c: * stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c, tee.c, timeout.c: * touch.c, tr.c, truncate.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c, uniq.c: * wc.c, who.c: Remove redundant const directives. * maint.mk (sc_const_long_option): Don't require redundant "const".
