* tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty,
an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX
shells to immediately exit the subshell. This was brought
to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3.
Fixes http:/bugs.gnu.org/16940

* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* gnulib: Update to incorporate the fix.
This is the only change in this gnulib update.

Problem reported by valiant xiao in <http://bugs.gnu.org/16855>.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/shuf.c (main): With -r, report an error if the input is empty.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Test for the bug.

If we can't output more data, we should immediately
diagnose the issue and exit rather than consuming all
of input (in some cases).
* src/tail.c (xwrite_stdout): Also diagnose the case where
only some data is written. Also clearerr() to avoid the
redundant less specific error from atexit (close_stdout);
* src/head.c (xwrite_stdout): Copy this new function from tail,
and use it to write all output.
* tests/misc/head-write-error.sh: A new test to ensure we
exit immediately on write error.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
|
|
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_pipe): Just output all input in
this case to avoid the issue and also avoid redundant '\n' processing.
(elide_tail_lines_seekable): Likewise.
* tests/misc/head-elide-tail.pl: Add tests for no '\n' at EOF.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.

* src/od.c (main): Handle the new --endian option,
taking "little" and "big" as parameters.
(usage): Describe the new option.
(PRINT_FIELDS): Adjust to swap bytes if required.
* tests/misc/od-endian.sh: A new test to verify
the byte swapping operations for hex (ints) and floats
for all sizes between 1 and 16 inclusive.

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.
|
|
* tests/misc/shuf-reservoir.sh: Restrict the valgrind
"exit on leak" behavior to developer environments where
specific "lint" code is enabled to avoid inconsequential leaks.
|
|
Previously, the test triggered another error diagnostic:
shuf: invalid input range ‘-e’
and therefore eclipsed the expected one:
shuf: cannot combine -e and -i options
While at it, reindent a line with more than 80 characters, present
since the previous commit to silence sc_long_lines.
* tests/misc/shuf.sh: Pass a valid range to the -i option.
|
|
Original problem reported by Philipp Thomas in
<http://bugs.gnu.org/16061>.
* NEWS: shuf --repeat, not shuf --repetitions.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shuf invocation):
* src/shuf.c (usage, long_opts, main):
* tests/misc/shuf.sh:
Likewise. Also, the default head-count is infinity.
|
|
* src/selinux.h (ignorable_ctx_err): A new function used
to determine if a warning should be given after a call
to defaultcon() or restorecon().
* src/cp.c (main): Fix the setfscreatecon() call to use
the argument passed by the user.
* src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Show all but "ignoreable" errors
from defaultcon() and restorecon().
* tests/misc/selinux.sh: Add a test run as root in selinux enforcing
mode, to ensure cp --context=invalid is honored and fails immediately.

A sync operation is very often expensive. For illustration
I timed the following python script which indicated that
each ext4 dir sync was taking about 2ms and 12ms, on an
SSD and traditional disk respectively.
import os
d=os.open(".", os.O_DIRECTORY|os.O_RDONLY)
for i in range(1000):
os.fdatasync(d)
So syncing for each character for each file can result
in significant delays. Often this overhead is redundant,
as only the data is sensitive and not the file name.
Even if the names are sensitive, your file system may
employ synchronous metadata updates, which also makes
explicit syncing redundant.
* tests/misc/shred-remove.sh: Ensure all the new parameters
actually unlink the file.
* doc/coreutils.texi (shred invocation): Describe the new
parameters to the --remove option.
* src/shred.c (Usage): Likewise.
(main): Parse the new options.
(wipename): Inspect the new enum to see which of
the now optional tasks to perform.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* THANKS.in: Add reporter Joseph D. Wagner

This adds support for using a constant or "stick" parity bit.
* src/stty.c (usage): Mention the new flag.
* tests/misc/stty.sh: Adjust for the new flag.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* docs/coreutils.texi (stty invocation): Mention the new flag.
|
|
* src/shred.c (dopass): Exit early to avoid redundant heap
allocation, and more importantly avoiding a file sync
when we're writting no data, as this can have side effects.
Also with --verbose, this avoids printing of "pass status"
which could be confusing as to whether data was actually written.
* tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Ensure the status for data
passes are not written when not doing any data writes.

Since direct I/O is now enabled with commit v8.21-139-gebaf961
we must handle the case where we write an odd size at the
end of a file (with --exact), or we specify an odd --size that
is larger than 64KiB, or in the very unlikely case of a device
with an odd size. This issue was present since direct I/O
support was first added in v5.3.0, but latent since v6.0.
Theoretically this could have also been an issue after that on
systems which didn't have alignment constraints, but did have
size constraints for direct I/O.
* src/shred.c (dopass): On the first pass for a file, always
retry a write that fails with EINVAL, so we handle direct I/O
failure at either the start or end of the file. Adjust the comment
as the original case is out of date and implicitly handled
by this more general fix.
* tests/misc/shred-exact.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Add a "bug fix" entry for shred since there are
two related issues now fixed.
|
|
* src/md5sum.c (main): Add a comment as to why we continue
to escape names that do not have '\n' but do have '\\' chars.
(print_filename): Use the predetermined boolean to decide
whether to escape or not, so that in the common case we
can output the file name directly, rather than inspecting each char.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add case to show '\\' chars cause escaping.
* tests/misc/sha1sum.pl: Likewise.

The reason for having a --quiet option is to
suppress only some subset of possible errors.
The most useful separation here is with usage/internal errors,
and errors due to file creation etc. (i.e. I/O errors).
* src/mktemp.c (main): Match the --help and info docs and
only suppress the file/dir creation error messages.
* tests/misc/mktemp.pl: Adjust accordingly.

(main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the
new option. In the getopt_long loop, handle it.
Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been
specified together with the default format.
In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to
print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag.
Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output
a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option.
While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with
other texinfo documents.

* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Don't try to elide 1 exabytes, since on
32-bit systems, that number is not representable as a size_t.
This command would fail on 32-bit systems, where SIZE_MAX < 1E:
head --bytes=-E < /dev/null
Instead of "E", use $SSIZE_MAX.

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:
$ yes abcdfeg | head -n1MB > big-file

src/cut-$c 2>/dev/null
echo -ne "\n== $c =="

eol_range_start: Removed. 'n-' is no longer treated specially,
and instead SIZE_MAX is set for the 'hi' limit, and tested implicitly.
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.

Also fix an issue where we could miss reported errors due
to truncation of the 'err' file.

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
done

real 0m0.111s
user 0m0.108s
sys 0m0.002s
== split ==
real 0m0.088s
user 0m0.081s
sys 0m0.007s
* 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.

* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_
as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of
ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures
if not supported.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check
to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required.
* tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_.

With --suppress-matched, the lines that match the pattern will not be
printed in the output files. I.E. the first line from the second
and subsequent splits will be suppressed.
* src/csplit.c: process_regexp(),process_line_count(): Don't output the
matched lines. Since csplit includes "up to but not including" matched
lines in each split, the first line (in the next group) is the matched
line - so just skip it.
main(): Handle new option.
usage(): Mention new option.

Reservoir sampling optimizes selecting K random lines from large or
unknown-sized input: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling
Note this also avoids reading any input when -n0 is specified.

lines is known, and the input size is large or unknown.
(input_size): A new function to get the input size for regular files.

Both factor and numfmt recently introduced debug messages
for developers, enabled by --verbose and ---devdebug respectively.
There were a few issues though:
1. They used different mechanisms to enable these messages.
2. factor used --verbose which might be needed for something else
3. They used different methods to output the messages,
and numfmt used error() which added an unwanted newline
4. numfmt marked all these messages for translation and factor
marked a couple. We really don't need these translated.
So we fix the above issues here while renaming the enabling
option for both commands to ---debug (still undocumented).
* src/factor.c (verbose): Rename to dev_debug and change from int to
bool as it's just a toggle flag.
(long_options): Rename --verbose to ---debug.
* src/system.h (devmsg): A new inline function to output a message
if enabled by a global dev_debug variable in the compilation unit.
* src/numfmt.c: Use devmsg() rather than error().
Also remove the translation tags from these messages.
Also change debug flag to bool from int.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Adjust for the ---devdebug to ---debug change.
* cfg.mk (sc_marked_devdiagnostics): Add a syntax check to ensure
translations are not added to devmsg calls.
