2011-11-22tests: use "compare exp out", not "compare out exp"Jim Meyering
Likewise, when an empty file is expected, use "compare /dev/null out", not "compare out /dev/null". I.e., specify the expected/desired contents via the first file name. Prompted by a suggestion from Bruno Haible in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.grep.bugs/4020/focus=29154 Run these commands: git grep -l -E 'compare [^ ]+ exp' \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/(compare)

2011-11-12* tests/misc/sort-continue: Port to Fedora 15.Paul Eggert
Redirect with the shell command, not in a separate 'exec'. Without this patch, Fedora 15 x86-64 /bin/sh (i.e., Bash 4.2.10) complained about running out of file descriptors in the shell.
2011-11-03tests: avoid signal issues in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
These issues were seen on an OpenSuse 10.3 system (kernel 2.6.22.5 x86_64, glibc 2.6.1-18, bash updated to 4.2), and also on a 64 bit SLES system with a 2.6.16 kernel. Both systems had 2 CPUs. There were two issues seen. 1. Occasionally the timeout.cmd shell script would block SIGINT until the sleep command exited. 2. Much less frequently the signal handler in the timeout command itself was ignored, causing SIGALRM to kill the process. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Detect the above two cases, and skip rather than fail. Note only issue 2. causes a failure unless skipped, but we skip for case 1. also, for diagnostic purposes.
2011-11-03tests: fix a race in timeout-groupPádraig Brady
This could cause a false failure, or even an infinite loop in rare circumstances. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Increase the timeouts passed to the timeout command, so that they're effectively not used. Instead the command termination is triggered by the kill commands when everything is in the correct state. Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
2011-10-19maint: tac: prefer "failed to" diagnostic over "cannot"Jim Meyering
* src/tac.c: Change wording in diagnostic: "failed to open" seems clearer than "cannot open".
2011-10-17tac: don't misbehave with multiple non-seekable inputsJim Meyering
* 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.
2011-10-01ls: fix output of dangling symlinks colored as targetPádraig Brady
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.
2011-09-27sort: avoid a NaN-induced infloopJim Meyering
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. Reported by Aaron Denney in http://bugs.debian.org/642557. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/sort-NaN-infloop: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-09-16md5sum: handle BSD reversed format checksumsPádraig Brady
* 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. * NEWS: Mention the improvement Suggested by Rimas Kudelis.
2011-09-02tests: remove require-perl script; use function insteadJim Meyering
* tests/require-perl: Remove file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove it from this list. * tests/init.cfg (require_perl_): New function. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Use the new function, not the file. * tests/ls/nameless-uid: Likewise. * tests/misc/sum-sysv: Likewise.
2011-09-02tests: cut: exercise distro-added multibyte code pathsJim Meyering
* tests/misc/cut: Repeat each test using a multibyte locale, if the configure-time test found such a locale. Adjust the tests so that they also accept a slightly different diagnostic that is specific to the MB-patched cut.
2011-09-01tests: pwd-long: diagnose failure earlierJim Meyering
Without this change, we'd get use-of-uninit value warnings and harder-to-diagnose failure down the road. * tests/misc/pwd-long (normalize_to_cwd_relative): Diagnose stat failure. This failed on AIX 6.1 and 7.1. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: printf-surprise: avoid false-positive failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: Also accept a strerror-style string after the usual 'printf: write error:' diagnostic prefix. Otherwise, this test would fail on HP-UX 11. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: misc/printf: accommodate alternate behaviorJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf: Avoid false positive failure on MacOS X 10.5 due to a slightly differing diagnostic. Reported by Bruno Haible.
2011-09-01tests: invoke via "env printf", rather than using an absolute nameJim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf: This results in more concise diagnostics.
2011-08-31date: support parsing of ISO-8601-with-"T" datesJim Meyering
Thanks to an improvement in gnulib's parse-datetime module, commands like this now succeed (output manually indented): $ ./date -u -d 2004-02-29T16:21:42.33+07:00 +%FT%T.%N%z 2004-02-29T09:21:42.330000000+0000 * tests/misc/date: Add a test to exercise the new-in-gnulib parsing of ISO8601-with-"T" dates. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * gnulib: Update, to pull in this parse-datetime improvement.
2011-08-08join: with --check-order print offending file name, line number and dataJim Meyering
* 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. Suggested by David Gast in http://debbugs.gnu.org/9236
2011-08-08tests: complete the renaming framework_failure -> framework_failure_Stefano Lattarini
These changes were mostly mechanical, made by running the following command: git grep -lw framework_failure | grep -v ChangeLog \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\b(framework_failure)\b/${1}_/' and then editing init.cfg and `tests/cp/cp-a-selinux' by hand. * tests/init.cfg (framework_failure): Remove, `framework_failure_' from init.sh should be used instead in the tests. Remove now-obsolete "FIXME" comment. (is_local_dir_, require_strace_, require_membership_in_two_groups_, require_sparse_support_, skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_, mkfifo_or_skip_) Use `framework_failure_', not `framework_failure'. * Many test scripts: Likewise.
2011-07-25timeout: support sub-second timeoutsPádraig Brady
* 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.
2011-07-20unexpand: fix misalignment when spaces span a tabstopPádraig Brady
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. Reported by Hallvard B Furuseth
2011-07-17timeout: add regression test (Bug#9098)Paul Eggert
* tests/misc/timeout: Check that 'timeout' is not confused when starting off with a child.
2011-07-16timeout: treat seconds counts like 'sleep' doesPaul Eggert
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.
2011-07-08timeout: support cascaded timeoutsPádraig Brady
* src/timeout.c (cleanup): Send signals directly to the child in case it has started its own process group (like a cascaded timeout command would for example). * test/misc/timeout-group: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2011-07-08timeout: add --foreground to support interactive commandsPádraig Brady
Or more accurately, commands not started from the shell prompt, that are interactive, or need to receive Ctrl-C etc. from the terminal. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Document --foreground. * src/timeout.c (main): Set the foreground flag and don't create a separate group. (cleanup): Only send a signal directly to the monitored command when the foreground flag is set. (usage): Describe --foreground. * tests/misc/timeout-group: Add a new test. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test. NEWS: Mention the new option. Reported by Shay Shimony Analysis by Alan Curry Fix suggested by Paul Eggert
2011-07-07tests: exercise md5sum's new --strict optionJim Meyering
* tests/misc/md5sum: Exercise new --strict option.
2011-06-19maint: typo: insert omitted word in test commentJames Youngman
* tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Fix typo: s/"very expensive" are/"very expensive" tests are/
2011-06-18tests: sort-debug-keys: fix a bug with translated diagnosticsJim Meyering
Ensure that English diagnostics are emitted even when using French sorting rules. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Unset LC_ALL and set LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC to the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale, while setting LC_MESSAGES=C. Reported by Stefano Lattarini.
2011-06-17tests: avoid sort-spinlock-abuse false positive under heavy loadJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Classify as "very expensive" to avoid unwarranted failure once and for all.
2011-06-17tests: remove skip_test_ function; use new skip_ insteadJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function. Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule. * tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.
2011-06-13tests: avoid sort-spinlock-abuse false positive under heavy loadJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: This test would frequently fail when run on a system under heavy load. Increase duration and limit.
2011-05-28tests: move tests/misc/split-* into tests/split/...Jim Meyering
* tests/split/suffix-length: Rename from tests/misc/split-a. * tests/split/b-chunk: Rename from misc/split-bchunk. * tests/split/fail: Rename from tests/misc/split-fail. * tests/split/lines: Rename from tests/misc/split-l. * tests/split/l-chunk: Rename from tests/misc/split-lchunk. * tests/split/r-chunk: Rename from tests/misc/split-rchunk. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.
2011-05-25split: fix an edge case where -n l/... creates an extra filePádraig Brady
* src/split.c (lines_bytes_chunk): Handle the edge case where the file is truncated as we read. * tests/misc/split-lchunk: Cleanup; no functional change.
2011-05-24split: fix cases where -n l/... creates extraneous filesPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (lines_chunk_split): Ensure that data is only written to stdout when k specified. Also ensure that extra files are not created when there is more data available than reported in the file size. * tests/misc/split-lchunk: Verify that split -n l/k/n doesn't generate any files, and that -n l/n always generates n files. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2011-05-22tests: fix typo in tac-continueJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tac-continue: Fix typo in usually-skipped test: s/mkfifo_or_skip/mkfifo_or_skip_/ (i.e., append "_"). This test is usually skipped, because I'm probably the only one to set the FULL_PARTITION_TMPDIR envvar, and recently the one I'd been using ceased to exist, so this test was skipped even for me. Good argument for making this a root-only test and creating a full partition just for this test case.
2011-05-18printf: fix an out-of-bounds memory accessPádraig Brady
* src/printf.c (STRTOX): Don't access memory after a string containing a single quote character. * tests/misc/printf: Add tests for various combinations of single quote characters combined with a numeric format. * THANKS.in: Add bug reporter. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported-by: Paul Marinescu <paul.marinescu@imperial.ac.uk>
2011-05-14tests: refactor more tests to use mkfifo_or_skip_Pádraig Brady
* tests/cp/existing-perm-race: s/mkfifo/mkfifo_or_skip_/ * tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/special-f: Likewise. * tests/dd/reblock: Likewise. * tests/ls/file-type: Likewise. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise. * tests/misc/mknod: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Likewise. * tests/misc/selinux: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/misc/tac-continue: Likewise. * tests/init.cfg: Improve the error message when skipping.
2011-05-14shuf: use memory more efficiently when returning a subsetPádraig Brady
* gl/lib/randperm.c (randperm_new): When the number of items to return H, is much smaller than the total number of items N, use a hash to represent the sparse permutations of the set N. This is currently enabled for N > 128K and N/H > 32. * tests/misc/shuf: Ensure shuf can quickly return 2 numbers from a large range. * gl/modules/randperm: Depend on hash. * NEWS: Mention the change.
2011-05-13tests: use skip_test_, not skip_Jim Meyering
skip_test_ emits its diagnostic both to FD 9 (tty), and to FD 2 (usually the log file), whereas init.sh's skip_ emits only to FD 9. Without that, the log is slightly less useful. * tests/cp/fiemap-2: Use skip_test_, not skip_. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Likewise. * tests/du/bigtime: Likewise. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: Likewise. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/split/filter: Likewise. Prompted by a report from Pádraig Brady.
2011-05-06sort: fix a contradictory --debug warningPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (key_warn): `sort -k2,1n --debug` would output warnings about being both "zero width" and "spanning multiple fields". Suppress the latter one. * tests/misc/sort-debug-warn: Add a couple of test cases.
2011-04-28tests: remove useless test: misc/pwd-unreadable-parentJim Meyering
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove misc/pwd-unreadable-parent. This test was misleading and useless (was always skipped). Inspired by a report from Bruno Haible: http://debbugs.gnu.org/8570 * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Remove file.
2011-04-28tests: write skip explanation from perl scripts also to outer stderrJim Meyering
* tests/CuSkip.pm (skip): New file/module/function, to help the perl test scripts "skip" a test consistently, emitting a diagnostic both into the log file and into the outermost stderr stream that is more likely to be seen by a human. * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add -MCuSkip. * tests/misc/date-next-dow: Use CuSkip::skip in place of warn+exit-77. * tests/misc/tty-eof: Likewise. * tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Likewise. * tests/misc/md5sum-newline: Likewise. Also, s/program_name/ME/. * tests/misc/ls-misc (setuid_setup, main): Likewise. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise, and add -I"$abs_srcdir" -MCuSkip to the $PERL invocation command. Inspired by a request from Bruno Haible regarding misc/tty-eof: http://debbugs.gnu.org/8570
2011-04-11maint: remove doubled words in comments, e.g., s/to to/to/Jim Meyering
* tests/ls/color-norm: s/to to/to/ * gl/lib/mbsalign.h (mbs_align_t): s/or or/or/ * src/extent-scan.c (extent_scan_read): s/the the/the/ * src/libstdbuf.c: s/the the/the/ * tests/misc/stdbuf: s/on on/on/ * ChangeLog-2005: s/for\n\tfor /for\n\t/
2011-04-04tests: don't ever leave a backgrounded "sleep 10m" processJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Sleep only ~30s, not 10m. The latter was a problem when somehow that sleep process would hang around and thereby prevent (for up to 10m) a normal unmount of the temporary partition in which I'd run the tests.
2011-03-22tests: exercise tests new "==" operatorJim Meyering
* tests/misc/test: Exercise the new operator. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.
2011-02-07cut: don't segfault for large unbounded rangeJim Meyering
* src/cut.c (set_fields): When computing the maximum range endpoint, take into consideration the start of any unbounded range, like "999-". * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/cut (big-unbounded-b,c,f): Add tests. Reported by Paul Marinescu in http://debbugs.gnu.org/7993 The bug was introduced on 2004-12-04 via commit 7380cf79.
2011-02-03sort: fix --debug key highlighting when key start after key endPádraig Brady
This case was overlooked in commit bdde34f9, 2010-08-05, "sort: tune and refactor --debug code, and fix minor underlining bug" * src/sort.c (debug_key): Don't adjust the key end when it's before the key start. * tests/misc/sort-debug-keys: Add a test case.
2011-01-29join: don't report disorder against an empty filePádraig Brady
This allows one to use join as a field extractor like: join -a1 -o 1.3,1.1 - /dev/null * src/join.c (join): Don't flag unpairable lines when one of the files is empty. * tests/misc/join: Add a new test for empty input, and adjust a previous test that was only checking against empty input. * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Document the change. * NEWS: Likewise.
2011-01-29join: ensure --header skips the order check with empty filesPádraig Brady
* src/join.c: Skip the header even if one of the files is empty. * tests/misc/join: Add a test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix
2011-01-29join: add -o 'auto' to output a constant number of fields per linePádraig Brady
Lines with a different number of fields than the first line, will be truncated or padded. * src/join.c (prfields): A new function refactored from prjoin(), to output all but the join field.
