2016-04-24seq: detect and report I/O errors immediatelyAssaf Gordon
Ensure I/O errors are detected (and terminate seq), preventing seq from infloop (or running for long time with a large range) upon write errors or ignored SIGPIPE. Examples: seq 1 inf > /dev/full (seq_fast) seq 1.1 0.1 inf >/dev/full (print_numbers) * src/seq.c (io_error): A new function to diagnose appropriate stdio errors and exit the program with failure status. (seq_fast, print_numbers): Explicitly check for write errors and terminate the program with diagnostic. * tests/misc/seq-io-errors.sh: Test error detection with /dev/full. * tests/misc/seq-epipe.sh: Test error detection with broken pipes. * tests/local.mk: Add new tests. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
