2013-01-26timeout: ensure a blocked SIGALRM from the parent is unblockedStephan Krempel
* src/timeout.c (unblock_signal): A new function to unblock a specified signal, or warn if not possible. (set_timeout): Ensure SIGALRM is unblocked before we setup the timer. * tests/misc/timeout-blocked.pl: A new test for the issue. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes: http://bugs.gnu.org/13535
2013-01-26seq: fix to always honor the step valuePádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (main): With 3 positive integer args we were checking the end value was == "1", rather than the step value. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add tests for this case. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/13525
2013-01-26seq: fix misaligment with -w when no precision for start valuePádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (get_default_format): Also account for the case where '.' is auto added to the start value, which is significant when the number sequence narrows. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add two new tests for the failing cases. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13394
2013-01-26cut: fix -f to work with the -d$'\n' edge casePádraig Brady
* src/cut.c (cut_fields): Handle the edge case where '\n' is the delimiter, which could be used for example to suppress the last line if it doesn't contain a '\n'. * test/misc/cut.pl: Add tests for this edge case.
2013-01-26cut: with -f, process each line independentlyPádraig Brady
Previously line N+1 was inspected before line N was fully output, which causes output ordering issues at the terminal or delays from intermittent sources like tail -f. * src/cut.c (cut_fields): Adjust so that we record the previous output character so we can use that info to determine wether to output a '\n' or not. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure existing functionality isn't broken. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Fixes bug http://bugs.gnu.org/13498
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
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.
2012-12-21seq: fix newline output when -s specifiedPádraig Brady
This regression was introduced in commit v8.19-132-g3786fb6. * src/seq.c (seq_fast): Don't use puts() to output the first number, and instead insert it into the buffer as for other numbers. Also output the terminator unconditionally. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add some basic tests for the -s option. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS.in: Reported by Philipp Gortan.
2012-12-20tests: add tests for basename's --zero optionBernhard Voelker
The -z option has been introduced in commit v8.15-60-ga3eb71a, i.e. in coreutils-8.16. Time to add some tests for it. * tests/misc/basename.pl: Add tests exercising the -z option. In the foreach loop to append a newline to the end of each expected 'OUT' string, skip the -z tests.
2012-12-19tests: avoid a race in timeout-group.shPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-group.sh: The kernel might possibly delay signal propagation to timeout.cmd long enough, that it exits normally without running the signal handler (as sleep will be in the same process group and so get the signal too). So avoid this by explicitly checking that the signal handler is called, which should always happen under normal circumstances. Reported by Stefano Lattarini on linux-2.6.30-2-686 and bash-4.2.36.
2012-12-09tests: add test case and note that last week's cut change is a bug fixJim Meyering
* tests/misc/cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh: New test, showing that the change in v8.20-51-g7d03466 is a bug fix after all. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-12-06maint: fix a referenced coreutils version in a test commentPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/cut.pl: This particular bug existed up to v8.10.
2012-12-06tests: cut.pl: adjust for changed diagnosticPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/cut.pl: Since we now output the more complete error message irrespective of running in a multi-byte locale or not, adjust the test accordingly.
2012-12-06cut: improve error reportingCojocaru Alexandru
* src/cut.c (main): Treat a NUL delimiter (-d '') consistently with non NUL delimiters, and disallow such a delimiter option, unless a field is also specified. (set_fields): Provide a more accurate error message when a given list is invalid. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add a test case.
2012-11-24cut: do not print extraneous delimiters in some unusual casesJim Meyering
When printing output delimiters, and when a to-EOL range subsumes at least one other range, cut would mistakenly print delimiters for the subsumed range. This bug was probably introduced via commit v5.2.1-639-g847e066. * src/cut.c (set_fields): Ignore any range that is subsumed by a to-EOL range. Also, move two declarations down. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to exercise this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/12966
2012-11-24cut: treat -b2-,3- like -b2-, not like -b3-Jim Meyering
* src/cut.c (set_fields): When two right-open-ended ranges are specified, don't blindly let the latter one take precedence over the former. Instead, use the union of the ranges. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to exercise this. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Reported by Marcel Böhme in http://bugs.gnu.org/12966 Thanks to Berhard Voelker for catching log and NEWS typos.
2012-11-24tests: use sub-second timeouts to speed up a timeout testPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout.sh: Take advantage of recent support for sub-second timeouts to decrease runtime from about 6s to 2s.
2012-11-24seq: ensure correct output width for scientific notation inputPádraig Brady
* src/seq.c (scan_arg): Calculate the width more accurately for numbers specified using scientific notation. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Add tests for cases that were mishandled. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * THANKS.in: Reported by Marcel Böhme. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/12959
2012-11-19cut: do not accept the invalid range 0-Bernhard Voelker
The command "echo 12345 | cut -b 0-" prints an empty line while it should fail with "fields and positions are numbered from 1". * src/cut.c (set_fields): Add a diagnostic for the invalid open range which starts with Zero, i.e., the range 0-. * tests/misc/cut.pl: Add tests to ensure the range 0- fails for fields (-f) and for positions (-b, -c). * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Marcel Böhme in <http://bugs.gnu.org/12903>.
2012-11-04timeout: add --preserve-status to always propagate the exit statusÁngel González
It's useful for commands that support running for an indeterminite amount of time, to not return a specific timeout exit status (124), and instead let the command handle the timeout signal and return a status for the work done so far. * doc/coreutils.texi (timeout invocation): Describe the new option. * src/timeout.c (preserve_status): A new global boolean to enable the --preserve-status behavior. (usage): Describe the new option. (main): Don't return EXIT_TIMEOUT of preserve_status is set. * tests/misc/timeout.sh: Add a test for the new option.
2012-10-25maint: refactor tests/misc/pr.pl into tests/pr/pr-tests.plPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/pr.pl: Refactor this test into ... * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl: ... here. * tests/local.mk: Remove the reference to the removed test Improved by Jim Meyering
2012-10-23tests: correctly restrict factor test without GMPPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/factor.pl: Correct the precedence and regular expression in the command to check for GMP.
2012-10-09factor: fix integer validation and GMP fallbackPádraig Brady
In the recent factor rewrite, the GMP code wasn't actually used; just an error was printed on integer overflow. While fixing that it was noticed that correct input validation wasn't done in all cases when falling back to the GMP code. * src/factor.c (print_factors) Fallback to GMP on overflow. (strto2uintmax): Scan the string for invalid characters, so that case can be detected independently of overflow. Return an error when an empty string is passed. Also allow leading spaces and '+' in input numbers. * tests/misc/factor.pl: Ensure the GMP code is exercised when compiled in. Also add a test to verify leading spaces and '+' are allowed.
2012-09-16ls: fix coloring of dangling symlinks in default listing modePádraig Brady
When listing a directory containing dangling symlinks, and not outputting a long format listing, and orphaned links are set to no coloring in LS_COLORS, then the symlinks would get no color rather than reverting to the standard symlink color. The issue was introduced in v8.13-19-g84457c4 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Use the standard method to check if coloring is specified for orphaned symlinks. The existing method would consider 'or=00' or 'or=0' as significant in LS_COLORS. Even 'or=' was significant as in that case the string='or=' and the length=0. Also apply the same change for missing symlinks for consistency. (gobble_file): Remove the simulation of linkok, which is only tested in print_color_indicator() which now handles this directly by keying on the LS_COLORS values correctly. * tests/misc/ls-misc.pl: Add a test case. * THANKS: Add the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported-by: David Matei
2012-09-14seq: 70x faster for non-negative whole numbers and incr==1Jim Meyering
Handle non-negative whole numbers robustly and efficiently when the increment is 1 and when no format-changing option is specified. On the correctness front, for very large numbers, seq now works fine: $ b=1000000000000000000000000000 $ src/seq ${b}09 ${b}11 100000000000000000000000000009 100000000000000000000000000010 100000000000000000000000000011 while the old one would infloop, printing garbage: $ seq ${b}09 ${b}11 | head -2 99999999999999999997315645440 99999999999999999997315645440 The new code is much more efficient, too: Old vs new: 55.81s vs 0.82s $ env time --f=%e seq $((10**8)) > /dev/null 55.81 $ env time --f=%e src/seq $((10**8)) > /dev/null 0.82 * seq.c (incr): New function, inspired by the one in cat.c. (cmp, seq_fast): New functions, inspired by code in nt-factor by Torbjörn Granlund and Niels Möller. (trim_leading_zeros): New function, without which cmp would malfunction. (all_digits_p): New function. (main): Hoist the format_str-vs-equal_width check to precede first treatment of operands, and insert code to call seq_fast when possible. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the correctness fix. (Improvements): Mention the speed-up. * tests/misc/seq.pl: Exercise the new code. Improved by: Bernhard Voelker. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/3340
2012-09-07factor: NEWS and testsJim Meyering
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/factor.pl: Add five of Torbjörn's tests.
2012-09-05build: don't use recursive make for tests/ subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'tests'. (include): The '$(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.
2012-08-30tests: fix misc/sort-exit-early to skip if rootNick Alcock
* tests/misc/sort-exit-early: skip_if_root_ as this test requires an unwritable input and an unreadable output.
2012-08-24md5sum, sha*sum: add --tag to output a format indicating the algorithmOndrej Oprala
The format used is the BSD traditional format which looks like: MD5 (/dev/null) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e * NEWS: Add new feature info. * doc/coreutils.texi (md5sum invocation): Add detailed information about the new --tag option. * src/md5sum.c: Add the new --tag option for BSD-style output. (bsd_split_3): Add ESCAPED_FILENAME parameter. (print_filename): New function refactored from main(). (filename_unescape): New function refactored from split_3(). * tests/misc/md5sum-bsd: Add tests for the new feature.
2012-08-22tests: correct print_ver_ arguments and add a rule to enforce thisBernhard Voelker
We use print_ver_ to run "PROG --version" for each program under test. Some tests have been derived from others, while the argument(s) to print_ver_ have not been adapted. Add a new cfg.mk rule to prohibit this. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_calls_print_ver_with_irrelevant_argument): New rule, to prohibit a test script from calling print_env_ for a program not actually used by that test. * tests/chown/basic: s/\(print_ver_\) chgrp/\1 chown/ * tests/cp/acl: s/\(print_ver_\) mv/\1 cp/ * tests/cp/capability: s/\(print_ver_\) ls/\1 cp/ * tests/cp/cp-parents: s/(print_ver_\) mv/\1 cp/ * tests/du/bind-mount-dir-cycle: s/(print_ver_\) rm/\1 du/ * tests/misc/wc-parallel: s/(print_ver_\) md5sum/\1 wc/
2012-08-18tests: trigger the sort -u free-memory-read bugJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-u-FMR: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * tests/misc/sort: Add the test here, too. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2012-08-18tests: wrap the valgrind-requiring assertion in a functionJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (require_valgrind_): New function... * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: ...extracted from here.
2012-08-17sort: sort --unique (-u) could cause data lossJim Meyering
sort -u could omit one or more lines of expected output. This bug arose because sort recorded the most recently printed line via reference, and if you were unlucky, the storage for that line would be reused (overwritten) as additional input was read into memory. If you were doubly unlucky, the new value of the "saved" line would not only match the very next line, but if that next line were also the first in a series of identical, not-yet-printed lines, then the corrupted "saved" line value would result in the omission of all matching lines. * src/sort.c (saved_line): New static/global, renamed and moved from... (write_unique): ...here. Old name was "saved", which was too generic for its new role as file-scoped global. (fillbuf): With --unique, when we're about to read into a buffer that overlaps the saved "preceding" line (saved_line), copy the line's .text member to a realloc'd-as-needed temporary buffer and adjust the line's key-defining members if they're set. (overlap): New function. * tests/misc/sort: New tests. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * THANKS.in: Update. Bug introduced via commit v8.5-89-g9face83. Reported by Rasmus Borup Hansen in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/23173/focus=24647
2012-08-06tests: printf-surprise: avoid unwarranted failure on FreeBSD 9.0Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: A VM size of 10,000KiB was too little in which to run "env printf ..." on FreeBSD 9.0-p3. Increase it to 15,000.
2012-07-23tests: add a test for a previously fixed output format bug in joinPádraig Brady
Add a test and NEWS entry for a bug inadvertently fixed in a refactoring in commit v8.9-32-gd4db0cb * tests/misc/join (v2-format): Add a new test. * THANKS.in: Add the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the old bug. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update. Reported-by: Jean-Pierre Tosoni
2012-07-16maint: move two df tests from tests/misc to tests/dfPádraig Brady
* test/Makefile.am: Reference the moved tests.
2012-07-06tests: sort-merge-fdlimit: reduce the limit by onePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: As a consequence of commit v8.17-34-g59daf05, we can reduce the descriptor limit by one.
2012-07-04date: fails to diagnose invalid inputJim Meyering
date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this: date: invalid date '\260' * gnulib: Update submodule to latest for fixed parse-datetime.y. * tests/misc/date [invalid-high-bit-set]: New test. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * bootstrap, tests/init.sh: Also update to latest. Reported by Peter Evans in http://bugs.gnu.org/11843
2012-07-02sort: avoid redundant processing with inaccessible inputs or outputPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (check_inputs): A new function to verify all inputs are accessible before further processing. (check_output): A new function to open or create a specified output file, before futher processing. (stream_open): Adjust to truncating the previously opened output file rather than opening directly. (avoid_trashing_input): Optimize to stat the output file descriptor, rather than the file name. (main): Call the new functions to check accessibility of inputs and output, before processing starts. * tests/misc/sort: Adjust to the changed error message. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Account for the earlier opened file descriptor of the specified output file. * tests/misc/sort-exit-early: A new test to exercise the improvements. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Suggested-by: Bernhard Voelker
2012-06-10maint: remove su testing artifactSami Kerola

2012-06-05head: with --lines=-N (-n-N) reset file pointer on seekable inputJim Meyering
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Reset file pointer after printing up to an end-relative line-counted offset. Anoop Sharma reported the problem and suggested the fix. * tests/misc/head-pos: Add coverage via a very similar, existing test. Also add coverage for a previously untested block of code. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail ($READ_BUFSIZE): Update to 8192, to match the value of BUFSIZ I see today on Fedora 17/x86_64 (unrelated to this fix). * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

Culprits identified and fixed automatically using these commands: git ls-files|misspellings -f -|perl -nl \ -e '/^(.*?)\[(\d+)\]: (\w+) -> "(.*?)"$/ or next;' \ -e '($file,$n,$l,$r)=($1,$2,$3,$4); $q="'\''"; $r=~s/$q/$q\\$q$q/g;'\ -e 'print "sed -i $q${n}s!$l!$r!$q $file"' | bash using http://github.com/lyda/misspell-check * old/fileutils/ChangeLog: Fix typos. * old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-fail-diag: Likewise.
2012-05-16tests: use $AWK, not awkJim Meyering
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Don't hard-code "awk". Use $AWK. * tests/init.cfg: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-rand: Likewise.
2012-05-10tests: misc/tty-eof: increase timeout to avoid unwarranted failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Increase timeout from 1s to 10s, to avoid unwarranted failure under heavy load. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move misc/tty-eof "up" to nearer the beginning of the list (from near the middle) so that it is started earlier in parallel test runs. Otherwise, it would frequently be among the last two tests to complete.
2012-05-10maint: handle file sizes more reliablyPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed memory objects the same way as with regular files. (dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects. * src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow. (print_only_size): Report overflow. (process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case. * src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size. * src/split.c (main): * src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main): On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to use for the file size. * src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms, e.g., GNU/Linux.

2012-04-27id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,Jim Meyering
... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions. Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither real nor effective. To demonstrate, run this: echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \ |su -s /bin/sh ftp - & sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd Those id -G commands printed the following: 50 50 9876 With this change, they print this: 50 50 Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them print one ID too many. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups. When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/id-setgid: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. (root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too. Originally reported by Brynnen Owen as http://bugs.gnu.org/7320. Raised again by Marc Mengel in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/816708.
2012-04-19tests: factor out expensive "pairs" code of misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stty-pairs. * tests/init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): New function. (stty_reversible_query_): New function. * tests/misc/stty: Factor out expensive "pairs" code into new test. Use new stty_reversible_* functions instead of evaluating static REV_* variables. * tests/misc/stty-pairs: Add new test. Code added from misc/stty. Mark this as an expensive test. Skip 'parenb' and 'cread' options, as these tests are known to fail. Like in misc/stty, also use the new stty_reversible_* functions.
