* src/tac.c (copy_to_temp): Do not reuse the template buffer.
Instead, scribble only on a freshly-xstrdup'd copy each time.
Free that buffer both here, upon failure, and ...
(tac_nonseekable): ...free the buffer in caller, upon success.
* tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
Reported by Ambrose Feinstein in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9762.

* src/tac.c: Include filenamecat.h.
(copy_to_temp): Use filenamecat rather than xmalloc and sprintf.
Move some declarations "down" to point of initialization.

This change affects only systems that have neither *at function support
nor the /proc/self/fd support required to emulate those *at functions.
* src/remove.c (write_protected_non_symlink): Call faccessat
unconditionally. Thus we no longer need euidaccess_stat, which was
the sole function used here to operate on a full relative file name.
Remove full_name parameter and update caller.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.h: Remove file.
* lib/euidaccess-stat.c: Likewise.
* m4/euidaccess-stat.m4: Likewise.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/euidaccess-stat.c.
* m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Don't require gl_EUIDACCESS_STAT.
Prompted by a report from Bruno Haible that the rm/deep-2
test was failing on HP-UX 11.31.

Interix provides faster replacements for getgr{gid,nam,ent} where
group member information is not fetched from domain controllers.
This makes 'id' usable on domain controlled interix boxes.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Check for _nomembers functions.
* src/system.h: Redefine function to _nomembers when available.
|
|
Add a dummy, non-functional, always-successful replacement setgroups
function, to keep the original code untouched and simple.
* src/chroot.c (setgroups) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Define.

This is related to commit b7f2b51c, 2010-01-01,
"ls: fix color of broken symlinks colored as target"
which didn't handle the --dereference case.
The simplest way to reproduce the resultant
erroneous "argetm" is as follows:
$ ln -s /no-such dangle
$ env LS_COLORS=ln=target ls --dereference --color
ls: cannot access dangle: No such file or directory
argetmdangle
This is also an issue with the `tree` utility,
reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/586765
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Move the handling
of 'ln=target' in $LS_COLORS (color_symlink_as_referent == true)
to a higher scope, to handle all cases where type == C_LINK.
* tests/misc/ls-misc: Add a test case for the specific issue,
and 2 further test cases to verify other code paths in this area.
Reported by Jason Glassey.

At first this looked like a buffer overrun, since there was no test
to ensure that the buffer length was 6. However, since the LS_COLORS
string is NUL-terminated and since settings within it are separated by
":" there was neither the risk of reading beyond end of buffer nor risk
of a false-positive match.
* src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use color_symlink_as_referent
rather than manually comparing against "target" again.
* src/system.h (STRNCMP_LIT): Correct description in comment.

These commands would fail to terminate:
yes -- -nan | head -156903 | sort -g > /dev/null
echo nan > F; sort -m -g F F
That can happen with any strtold implementation that includes
uninitialized data in its return value. The problem arises in the
mergefps function when bubble-sorting the two or more lines, each
from one of the input streams being merged: compare(a,b) returns 64,
yet compare(b,a) also returns a positive value. With a broken
comparison function like that, the bubble sort never terminates.
Why do the long-double bit strings corresponding to two identical
"nan" strings not compare equal? Because some parts of the result
are uninitialized and thus depend on the state of the stack.
For more details, see http://bugs.gnu.org/9612.
* src/sort.c (nan_compare): New function.
(general_numcompare): Use it rather than bare memcmp.

On some systems like glibc on GNU/kFreeBSD, a thread is
implicitly created when timer_settime() is used.
This breaks our scheme to ignore signals we've
sent ourselves.
* src/timeout.c (send_sig): Change the scheme used to
ignore signals we've sent ourselves, to a more robust
but perhaps limited scheme of ignoring all signals of
a certain type after we've sent that signal to the job.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

src/md5sum.c: Clarify that we are talking about input mode.
doc/coreutils.texi: Ditto.

* src/md5sum.c (split_3): Detect and handle BSD reversed
format checksums.
* tests/misc/md5sum-bsd: Add a new test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test.

* src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Adjust definition so that it is enabled
also on AIX 7.x systems that provide statvfs64 and no statvfs.
[USE_STATVFS && ! STAT_STATVFS && STAT_STATVFS64] (STATFS): Define
to statvfs64 in that precise case.
* m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Adjust the condition
here to match the new one in stat.c, to keep them in sync.

the command it's running to the search function. This is
significant on platforms without /proc/self/exe

... which is not available on some platforms,
and the replacement currently requires linking
with threading libraries.
* src/split.c (closeout): Remove the call to strsignal()
which is largely redundant anyway as sig2str()
is already used to map number to name in the error.
Reported by Bruno Haible on AIX 6.1 and 7.1

|
This effectively reverts the unreleased commit 5a647a05
* src/timeout.c (main): Don't propagate signals from the monitored
process, as on Linux /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern could still
handle them and cause false reports against `timeout`

Ever since the LAST_PAGE functionality was added
in commit ed0923a1, 1996-12-05,
"Apply big patch (patch-20) from Roland Huebner"
it was ignored when -t or -T were specified or
when -l <= 10.
* src/pr.c (print_page): Increment the current page here.

This problem was discovered when trying to build git coreutils on
Solaris 8 sparcv9 with Sun C 5.8: the 3rd argument to mbrlen was
of type int * (a pointer to the gnulib replacement mbstate_t) but
the system mbrlen wants the system mbstate_t *.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mbrlen.
* src/pathchk.c (mbrlen, mbstate_t) [!(HAVE_MBRLEN && HAVE_MBSTATE_T)]:
Remove macros, which are wrong now that gnulib supplies
replacements for mbstate_t and mbrlen.

* src/join (g_names): New global (was main's "names").
(main): Update all uses of "names".
(line_no[2]): New globals.
(get_line): Increment after reading each line.
(check_order): Print the standard "file name:line_no: " prefix
as well as the offending line when reporting disorder.
Here is a sample old/new comparison:
-join: file 1 is not in sorted order
+join: in:4: is not sorted: contents-of-line-4
* tests/misc/join: Change the two affected tests to expect
the new diagnostic.
Add new tests for more coverage: mismatch in file 2,
two diagnostics, zero-length out-of-order line.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.

* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): A new function refactored
from existing code.
(copy_internal): Call the new function from all 3 locations
that create hard links.
* tests/cp/same-file: Amend to match the adjusted diagnostic.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust formatting style to conform with
guidelines in HACKING: put braces around two one-line "else" blocks.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: Use $(...), not `...`, and
stat rather than ls+cut to get the mode string.
mode=$(stat --p=%A dst/dir)
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): If we don't create the directory,
then we cannot have omitted permissions. Problem and trivial
fix reported by Eric Lammerts.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/existing-perm-dir.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: New file.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would
return early once it found that the destination is not older than the
source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping.
That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the
destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links
(perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link
per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists
in the destination tree.
Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419.
* tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

* src/timeout.c (settimeout): A new function to convert
from a floating point duration and call alarm() or
timer_settime() if that's available.
(parse_duration): Return a double rather than unsigned int.
(usage): Mention floating point is supported.
(main): Pass the double to settimeout() rather than
calling alarm() directly with the parsed int.
(cleanup): Likewise.
* doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Say floating point timeouts
now supported, and mention the caveat with resolution.
* bootstrap.conf: Include the timer-time gnulib module.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Add a test with nanoseconds.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

The following dropped the space from the first field
printf "1234567 \t1\n" | unexpand -a
Note POSIX says that spaces should not precede tabs.
Also a single trailing space should not be converted
if the next field starts with non blank characters.
So we enforce those rules too, with this change.
* src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Implement as per POSIX rules.
* tests/misc/unexpand: Add tests, and adjust existing
tests as per POSIX rules.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

Treat fractions as a request to round up to the next representable
value, and treat out-of-range values as maximal ones. This is
consistent with how "sleep" works. And this way, "timeout
999999999999999999d FOO" and "timeout 4.5 foo" are more likely to
do what the user wants.
* src/timeout.c: Include c-strtod.h and xstrtod.h, not xstrtol.h.
(apply_time_suffix): Change it to the way sleep.c's time_suffix
does things. Maybe this function (identical in both programs,
other than its name) should be moved to a library?
(parse_duration): Return a maximal value on overflow. Return
unsigned int, not unsigned long. Allow fractions, which round
up to the next integer value.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Adjust tests to match new behavior.
Add a very large number.

|
|
* src/dd.c (SA_RESETHAND): Define to 0 if not defined.
|
|
* src/csplit.c (interrupt_handler): Reset signal to SIG_DFL
after deleting the files, so that a second interrupt won't
prematurely terminate cleanup.
(main): Don't use SA_NODEFER | SA_RESETHAND, as that might
allow premature termination of cleanup. Also, this ports better
to platforms like NonStop, which don't ahve SA_RESETHAND.
|
|
|
|
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use ST_BLKSIZE() rather than
accessing st_blksize directly, which is not present on
NonStop at least. Reported by Joachim Schmitz.
|
|
* src/fiemap.h (struct fiemap): Adjust the previous change
to the fiemap_extents array, which would also require changes
to the sizeof calculations in extent_scan_read().
Instead, only declare the fiemap_extents zero length array
on linux, which is the only platform that references this member.
This avoids a compilation failure on systems that don't support
this non standard construct. We don't use the equivalent C99
flexible array construct so as to have maximum portability.
* src/extent-scan.c: Cleanup. Remove a redundant #ifndef.
|

This is for portability to non-GCC C89 and C99 compilers.

Use setrlimit to disable core dumps for the timeout
process, which would be generated by some signals.

Use this new option with --check when the input is expected to
consist solely of checksum lines. With only --check, an invalid
line evokes a warning, but the program can still exit successfully.
With --strict, any invalid line makes the program exit non-zero.
