Include the number of arguments which rm received in the "Remove all
arguments?" prompt. This is useful in the, presumably, common case
where the arguments were not provided by hand, but instead were the
result of various shell expansions. A simple, if somewhat contrived,
example (assuming rm is aliased to rm -I) could be:
rm * .o
where the prompt "Remove 120 arguments?" is more likely to make
the user catch the problem.
* src/rm.c (main): Include correctly pluralized n_files
in the output message. Also remove the now redudant "all".
* tests/rm/interactive-always.sh: Adjust to the new prompt.

Similarly to commit v8.21-84-g8d2da3f in src/uptime.c
avoid a "definitely lost" error from valgrind. Note this
only happens with pinky when compiled without optimization,
in which case certain paths aren't eliminated casuing
valgrind to trigger the message. Note also that coverity
flags this "resource leak" too.

Avoid Valgrind reports of "definitely lost" items

Consolidate all smack routines and checks in a module.
We replace and wrap the most commonly used smack routines,
which allows removing ifdefs throughout the code.

There was slight change to libsmack such that positive values are
reserved for returning length of the label for smack_new_label_from_*
functions.
* m4/jm-macros.m4: Set HAVE_SMACK when both smack_new_label_from_self()
and recently added smack_new_label_from_path() are present.

* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Rewrite to only buffer
when necessary. I.E. only increase the buffer when we've
already lines output in a split and we encounter a line
larger than the input buffer size, in which case a hold
buffer will be increased in increments of the input buffer size.
(lines_rr): Use the more abstract xalloc_die() just like
we did in line_bytes_split(), rather than explicitly

This fixes Bug#14371, reported by Killer Bassist.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): Remove member ancestor_mode.
New member umask_value. All uses changed.
* src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Fix umask assumption.
* src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c (main):
Leave umask alone. This requires invoking lchmod after creating
the file, which introduces a race condition, but this can't be
avoided on hosts with "POSIX" default ACLs, and there's no easy
way with network file systems to tell what kind of host the
directory is on.

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:

eol_range_start: Removed. 'n-' is no longer treated specially,

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.

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 (set_fields): Set up the printable_field bit vector
for performance, but only when it's appropriate. I.E. not

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

* src/cut.c (print_kth): Refactor a branch to outside the function.

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.

As a side effect of the previous commit which fixes 'tail -f --retry'
to wait for a file to appear, tail would not exit when the last file
appears untailable and gives up on this file.
This can happen, for example, when the argument file name appears
as directory. Tail sets the 'ignore' flag of this file to true,
but instead of exiting the program, tail would continue the loop.
* src/tail.c (any_live_files): Change the function to return true
if any of the files is still tailable or if tail should continue to
try to check again.
(tail_forever): Change the condition to break the loop in the
"no files remaining" case, because now any_live_files() will care
about it, as mentioned above.
(parse_options): When --retry is used without any follow mode,
then reset reopen_inaccessible_files to false.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add test case.
|
|
The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes
by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the
latter case, it is effective only during the initial open.
As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support,
tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is
inaccessible.
* src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option:
remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when
following by name.
(main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option:
when the --retry option is used without following, then issue
a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together
with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only
effective for the initial open.
Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file()
failed (which is the actual bug fix).
