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. (prjoin): Don't swap line1 and line2 when line1 is blank so that the padding is applied to the right place. (main): Handle the -o 'auto' option. * tests/misc/join: Add 6 new cases to test the auto format. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Suggestion from Assaf Gordon
2011-01-17tests: add a test for today's uniq bugJim Meyering
* tests/misc/uniq-perf: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2011-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2010-12-30split: fix the suffix length calculationPádraig Brady
* src/split.c (set_suffix_length): Only auto-calculate the suffix length when the number of files is specified. * tests/misc/split-a: Add a case to trigger the bug, and exercise the suffix length auto-calculation. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Reported by Dmitry V. Levin and Sergey Vlasov at https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24841
2010-12-28coreutils: keep lines within 80-column limitsPaul Eggert
* cfg.mk (LINE_LEN_MAX, FILTER_LONG_LINES): New macros. (sc_long_lines): New rule. * HACKING: Use shorter URLs to the same material. * doc/Makefile.am, doc/coreutils.texi, m4/boottime.m4: * man/help2man, man/stdbuf.x, src/Makefile.am, src/cat.c, src/copy.c: * src/cp.c, src/dd.c, src/df.c, src/du.c, src/groups.c, src/install.c: * src/ls.c, src/md5sum.c, src/mv.c, src/od.c, src/pinky.c, src/ptx.c: * src/readlink.c, src/remove.c, src/rmdir.c, src/setuidgid.c: * src/sort.c, src/tail.c, src/touch.c, tests/Coreutils.pm: * tests/cp/existing-perm-race, tests/cp/perm, tests/cp/preserve-gid: * tests/du/2g, tests/du/long-from-unreadable, tests/init.sh: * tests/install/basic-1, tests/ls/nameless-uid: * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode, tests/misc/chroot-credentials: * tests/misc/cut, tests/misc/date, tests/misc/join, tests/misc/md5sum: * tests/misc/sha1sum, tests/misc/sha224sum, tests/misc/sort: * tests/misc/sort-continue, tests/misc/sort-files0-from: * tests/misc/sort-rand, tests/misc/stdbuf, tests/misc/tr: * tests/misc/uniq, tests/mv/atomic, tests/mv/part-fail: * tests/mv/part-symlink, tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart, tests/pr/pr-tests: * tests/rm/fail-2eperm, tests/rm/interactive-always: Reformat to fit within 80 columns. * doc/Makefile.am (BAD_POSIX_PERL): New macro. * doc/coreutils.texi: Reword slightly, to make menus and index lines shorter. * src/md5sum.c: Redo --help output so that it fits within 79 columns, since that's a bit more portable and all the other --help strings fit in 79 columns.
2010-12-19sort: use at most 8 threads by defaultPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (main): If --parallel isn't specified, restrict the number of threads to 8 by default. If the --parallel option is specified, then allow any number of threads to be set, independent of the number of processors on the system. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the changes to determining the number of threads to use. Mention the memory overhead when using multiple threads. * tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Allow single core systems that support pthreads. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-unique-segv: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.
2010-12-16sort: fix hang with sort --compressPaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * src/sort.c (UNCOMPRESSED, UNREAPED, REAPED): New constants. (struct tempnode): New member 'state', to hold these constants. The pid member is now undefined if state == UNCOMPRESSED. (struct sortfile): Replace member 'pid' with member 'temp'. (uintptr): Remove. (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator, register_proc, delete_proc): Proctab entries are now struct tempnode *, not pid_t, to handle the case where multiple tempnode objects correspond to the same pid. This avoids a race condition that can cause a hang. (register_proc): Arg is now struct tempnode *, not pid_t. All callers changed. (delete_proc): Set tempnode state to REAPED. (create_temp_file): No need to set pid member here; it's now done when the pid is known. (maybe_create_temp, create_temp): Remove PPID arg. Return struct tempnode *, not char *. All callers changed. (maybe_create_temp): Set node state to UNCOMPRESSED or UNREAPED. No need to set node->pid to 0. (open_temp): Replace NAME and PID args with a single TEMP arg. All callers changed. Wait only for unreaped children. (zaptemp): Wait for decompressor to finish before removing its temporary-file input. This avoids .nfsXXXX hassles with NFS and fixes a race (leading to a hang) regardless of NFS. (open_input_files): Adjust to new way of dealing with temp files and their subprocesses. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-compress-hang. * tests/misc/sort-compress-hang: New file.
2010-12-16sort: don't dump core when merging from input twicePaul Eggert
* NEWS: Document this. * src/sort.c (avoid_trashing_input): The previous fix to this function didn't fix all the problems with this code. Replace it with something simpler: just copy the input file. This doesn't change the number of files, so return void instead of the updated file count. Caller changed. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Test for the bug.
2010-12-14tests: default to /tmp as the temporary directoryPaul Eggert
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Default TMPDIR to /tmp, rather than to the working directory; this is more common in practice, which makes the tests more real-worldish; and it is often faster. Also, it avoids some problems with NFS cleanups. * tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove unnecessary code setting TMPDIR. * tests/misc/sort-compress-proc: Likewise. Do the final sleep only if TMPDIR is relative, which should be rarely given the change to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.
2010-12-13sort: fix some --compress reaper bugsPaul Eggert
* src/sort.c (uintptr): New type. (enum procstate, struct procnode, update_proc): Remove. (proctab_hasher, proctab_comparator, register_proc, wait_proc): (reap_some): The proctab is now simply a hash of process-IDs rather than of pointers to objects with reference counts and states; this is smaller and faster and easier to understand. (nprocs): Now pid_t, not size_t, since one cannot have more than PID_MAX children. (reap): If the argument is -1, wait; if 0 (a new value), do not. Delete pid from proctab as needed. Ignore children that are not in proctab, as they are from the program that exec'ed us and are irrelevant to our success or failure. (delete_proc, reap_all): New functions. (open_temp): Register the child. (sort): Clean up all children afterwards; without this patch, 'sort' sometimes missed failures in children due to race conditions. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-compress-proc. * tests/misc/sort-compress-proc: New file, to test for the bugs fixed above.
2010-12-13tests: typo fixPaul Eggert
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Fix typo in comment.
