2006-06-08Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,Jim Meyering
when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. Write any pending output before returning. Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2006-06-08(eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying INTMAX_MIN * -1.Paul Eggert
2006-06-07Don't claim x86 behavior is erroneous in a comment.Paul Eggert
2006-06-07(integer_overflow): New function.Paul Eggert
(eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2006-06-03Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where theJim Meyering
link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing. Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
2006-05-30(usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.Jim Meyering
From Justin Pryzby.
2006-05-27Support new options: --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root.Jim Meyering
Somehow this program was skipped when those options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2006-05-25(usage): Remove mention of --seed.Paul Eggert
2006-05-20(main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.Jim Meyering
2006-05-20(main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/Jim Meyering
and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2006-05-19(main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internalJim Meyering
FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option. Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2006-05-15(usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/. From Tomas Pospisek.Jim Meyering
2006-05-11mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer failsJim Meyering
(copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2006-05-11(copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destinationJim Meyering
when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory. Reported by Joshua Hudson.

2006-05-03(DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):Jim Meyering
Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/, s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
2006-05-03(main): On systems with d_type, directories_first onlyJim Meyering
implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
2006-05-03(xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space after commaJim Meyering
in arg list, from Eric Blake.
2006-04-23(sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index whenJim Meyering
choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for compile-time check. (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check. (directories_first): New global variable. (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum. (long_options): Add --directories-first. (main): Support new option. (is_directory): New function. (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it. (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS) (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros. (sort_functions): New global variable. (sort_files): Use it. (usage): Document new option.
2006-04-19(fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due toPaul Eggert
what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value. (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here, since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam Waltman.
2006-04-17(human_access): Use (new) filemodestring rather thanPaul Eggert
(old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2006-04-17(HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.Paul Eggert
(print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
2006-04-17(describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.Paul Eggert
2006-04-17(main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a defaultJim Meyering
ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
2006-04-12(sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.Paul Eggert
2006-04-12(USE_STATVFS): New macro.Paul Eggert
Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS. (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
2006-04-12(main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.Paul Eggert
2006-04-12(linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linkerPaul Eggert
bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
2006-04-12Clear the RE_NO_EMPTY_RANGES re syntax option, as this is a less intrusivePaul Eggert
change from the old (Emacs) behavior, and POSIX allows us to treat [z-a] as an empty range.
2006-04-12(docolon): Set re_syntax_options to a value that is compatible withPaul Eggert
what POSIX requires. Also, don't let anchors match newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX. Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional behavior (e.g., Solaris 10). (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero, and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with how Solaris behaves.
2006-04-12(build_type_arg): Set re_syntax_options to a value that is compatiblePaul Eggert
with what POSIX requires.
2006-04-12(extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to aPaul Eggert
value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
2006-04-11(compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.Paul Eggert
(main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2006-04-11(context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.Paul Eggert
(context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above. All uses changed. (struct regex_data): New type. (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *, not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap; instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int, to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
2006-04-11(body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):Paul Eggert
New vars. (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed. Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
2006-04-11(docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.Paul Eggert
Don't bother allocating a buffer.
2006-04-11Update copyright year.Paul Eggert
2006-04-11(struct control): Put re_compiled member at thePaul Eggert
end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool; all uses changed. Add new member fastmap. (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *. Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed. Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
