2015-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady
Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year. * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle-v2.sh: Fix case in copyright message, so that year is updated automatically in future.
2014-04-29ptx: fix whitespace trimming with multiple filesPádraig Brady
This issue was identified by running the test suite with http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/ which is included in GCC 4.8 and enabled with -fsanitize=address This was checked on Fedora 20 with GCC 4.8 as follows: $ yum install libasan # http://bugzilla.redhat.com/991003 $ rm -f src/ptx.o $ make check AM_CFLAGS='-fsanitize=address' SUBDIRS=. VERBOSE=yes $ failure identified in tests/test-suite.log To see this particular failure triggered with multiple files: $ src/ptx <(echo a) <(echo a) 2>&1 | asan_symbolize.py -d ================================================================= ==32178==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x60200000e74f at pc 0x435442 bp 0x7fffe8a1b290 sp 0x7fffe8a1b288 READ of size 1 at 0x60200000e74f thread T0 #0 0x435441 in define_all_fields coreutils/src/ptx.c:1425 #1 0x7fa206d31d64 in __libc_start_main ??:? #2 0x42f77c in _start ??:? 0x60200000e74f is located 1 bytes to the left of 3-byte region [0x60200000e750,0x60200000e753) allocated by thread T0 here: #0 0x421809 in realloc ??:? #1 0x439b4e in fread_file coreutils/lib/read-file.c:97 Shadow bytes around the buggy address: 0x0c047fff9c90: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0c047fff9ca0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0c047fff9cb0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0c047fff9cc0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0c047fff9cd0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fd fd =>0x0c047fff9ce0: fa fa 03 fa fa fa fd fd fa[fa]03 fa fa fa 00 00 0x0c047fff9cf0: fa fa 04 fa fa fa 04 fa fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa 0x0c047fff9d00: fa fa 00 fa fa fa fd fa fa fa 00 fa fa fa 00 fa 0x0c047fff9d10: fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa 0x0c047fff9d20: fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa fa fa fd fa 0x0c047fff9d30: fa fa fd fa fa fa 00 fa fa fa 00 fa fa fa 00 fa Shadow byte legend (one shadow byte represents 8 application bytes): Addressable: 00 Partially addressable: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 Heap left redzone: fa Heap right redzone: fb Freed heap region: fd Stack left redzone: f1 Stack mid redzone: f2 Stack right redzone: f3 Stack partial redzone: f4 Stack after return: f5 Stack use after scope: f8 Global redzone: f9 Global init order: f6 Poisoned by user: f7 ASan internal: fe ==32178==ABORTING The initial report and high level analysis were from Jim Meyering... "The underlying problem is that swallow_file_in_memory() is setting the contents of the global text_buffer for the first file, then updating it (clobbering old value) for the second file. Yet, some pointers to the initial buffer have been squirreled away and later, one of them (keyafter) is presumed to point into the new "text_buffer", which it does not. The subsequent SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS use backs up "cursor" and goes out of bounds." * src/ptx.c (text_buffers): Maintain references for the limits of each buffer corresponding to each file, rather than just the last processed. (struct OCCURS): Add a member to map back to the corresponding file. Note normally this could be computed from the "reference" member rather than needing the extra storage, however this is not possible when in --references mode. (find_occurs_in_text): Reference the array rather than a single entry. (define_all_fields): Likewise. Also avoid computing the file index since this is now stored directly. (main): Update text_buffers[] array rather than a single text_buffer. * tests/misc/ptx-overrun.sh: Even though this issue is already triggered with AddressSanitizer, add a new case to demonstrate the whitespace trimming issue, and to trigger without AddressSanitizer. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/16171

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.

2012-09-05build: don't use recursive make for tests/ subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'tests'. (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/tests/local.mk' file. (check-root): Remove this convenience target, it's no longer needed now that the "real" check-root target once in 'tests/Makefile' will land in the top-level makefile. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'tests/Makefile'. * tests/Makefile.am: Rename ... * tests/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. * tests/init.cfg: Move ... * init.cfg: ... here. This is necessary, for a limitation of the gnulib-provided 'tests/init.sh', which unconditionally look for 'init.cfg' in the $(srcdir) directory. * tests/*/*.sh: Adjust: expect init.sh to be in '$srcdir/tests', not in '$srcdir', and extend $PATH with './src', not with '../src'. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Adjust similarly. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl ($pfx): Likewise.
2012-08-30tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectivelyStefano Lattarini
Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.
