This fixes an incompatibility with POSIX 2008 and with BSD.
Problem reported by Abdallah Clark (Bug#9939)
via Alan Curry (Bug#10016).
* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/coreutils.texi (General output formatting): Document the
new -k behavior, and --kibibytes.
* src/ls.c (file_human_output_opts): New static var.
(long_options, usage): Add --kibibytes.
(decode_switches, gobble_file, print_long_format):
Implement the new -k behavior.
* tests/ls/block-size: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* tests/tail-2/pipe-f2: Don't always wait 10 seconds.
Before, this test would always wait 10 seconds.
Now, it stops early when it detects that tail -f has written output.
BTW, the race condition that prompted changing the timeout from 1 second
to 10 was that tail -f could be killed by the timeout before producing
any output.
|
|
* src/tac.c: Change wording in diagnostic: "failed to open" seems
clearer than "cannot open".
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): The main change is to
not start a sed process for each file under tests/,
which was taking around 2.5s on a 2.1GHz i3-2310M.
Also adjust the rule to no longer use temporary files.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/follow-name: Exclude the inotify warning
from the comparison.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
|
|
* tests/df/total-verify: Use require_perl_, so that this test is
skipped when perl is not available.
* tests/rm/deep-2: Likewise, and fix wording in a comment.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
|
|
* tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing: This test would fail about 80% of the
time on linux/powerpc when run in an NFS-mounted directory.
Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1727
|
|
* tests/ls/slink-acl: Use setfacl's "-m user::r" option rather than
less-portable "-m m::r". The latter did not work with Solaris 10's
version of setfacl. Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1737
|
|
* tests/init.cfg (require_strace_): Detect a version of strace
that fails on linux/sparc64 for 64-bit executables. Report and
most of the suggested fix from Bruno Haible:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/1726/focus=1728
|
|
* tests/ls/slink-acl: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* tests/init.cfg (require_setfacl_): New function.
* gnulib: Update to latest, for file-has-acl changes.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/28538. This
":>k; setfacl -m m::r k; ln -s k s; ls -Log s" should print e.g.,
-rw-r-----+ 1 0 Oct 5 19:22 s
With the ls from coreutils-8.13, it would print this (with "." or
nothing in place of the "+"):
-rw-r-----. 1 0 Oct 5 19:22 s

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.

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.
|
|
* tests/init.cfg: (very_expensive_): Mention toplevel make target,
check-very-expensive.
(expensive_): Likewise for check-expensive.
|
|
* tests/init.sh (compare): If "diff -c" is supported but "diff -u" is
not, use "diff -c". Useful on AIX 6.1, HP-UX 11.31, OSF/1 5.1,
Solaris 8.
|
|
* tests/cp/cp-parents: If somehow a chmod set-up command failed,
subsequent tests would fail in a harder-to-diagnose manner.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* tests/d_type-check: Fix typo in comment.
|
|
* tests/init.cfg (require_mkfs_PATH_): New function to test whether mkfs
is in PATH, otherwise adding /sbin to PATH. Needed for distributions
(OpenSuSE, Solaris) in which sudo does not include /sbin in PATH.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Use require_mkfs_PATH_.
* tests/cp/cp-mv-enotsup-xattr: Likewise.
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Likewise.
* tests/mkdir/writable-under-readonly: Likewise.
* tests/rm/read-only: Likewise.
|
|
* tests/init.sh: Relax check for diff -u support.
Rather than checking for GNU diff via --version, simply check
for support for -u itself. Useful at least on OpenBSD 4.9.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* tests/split/l-chunk: Don't use the `test "$var"`
idiom to test that var is set to something as
that's not supported by all shells.
The new style matches the usage is the rest of
the test in any case.
Reported by Bruno Haible on AIX 6.1 and 7.1
|
|
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.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* tests/init.cfg (require_membership_in_two_groups_): Add quotes
around the suggested groups for the COREUTILS_GROUPS variable.
|
|
* tests/misc/printf: Avoid false positive failure on MacOS X 10.5
due to a slightly differing diagnostic. Reported by Bruno Haible.
|
|
* tests/misc/printf: This results in more concise diagnostics.

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.
|

Lesson: do not include details like "4 million" in a file name.
* tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM: Renamed from ...
* tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: ...this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Reflect renaming.
|
|
* tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: Create only 200,000 files, rather
than 4 million. The latter was overkill, and was too likely to
fail due to inode exhaustion. Not everyone is using btrfs yet.
Now that this test doesn't take so long, label it as merely
"expensive", rather than "very expensive". Thanks to
Bernhard Voelker for pointing out the risk of inode exhaustion.

Ever since the LAST_PAGE functionality was added
in commit ed0923a1, 1996-12-05,
"Apply big patch (patch-20) from Roland Huebner"
it was ignored when -t or -T were specified or
when -l <= 10.
* src/pr.c (print_page): Increment the current page here.
(print_header): Don't increment the current page here.
* tests/pr/pr-tests: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the fix
Reported at http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9347

For details, see the gnulib commit,
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=47cb657e
* tests/rm/4-million-entry-dir: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* gnulib: Update to latest to get the required fts fixes.
|
|
* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Skip this test on systems like HP-UX 11.31
that lack both the *at functions and the /proc/self/fd-based support
we might have used to emulate them. Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/8846
|
|
* 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.

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.
|
|
* tests/init.cfg (framework_failure, getlimits_): Use 'fatal_'
instead of 'error_'.
(error_): Delete, it's not used anymore (and one is anyway
advised to use 'fatal_' instead).
Update heading comments.
* tests/shell-or-perl (error_): Renamed ...
(fatal_): ... to this, for consistency. Also, add a useful
comment.
|
|
* src/copy.c (create_hard_link): A new function refactored
from existing code.
(copy_internal): Call the new function from all 3 locations
that create hard links.
* tests/cp/same-file: Amend to match the adjusted diagnostic.
|
|
* tests/cp/preserve-link: Add test cases for when a missing
link in the destination tree is encountered first and second.
Also add cases for old and new separate files in the destination
tree, both to make the clobbering behavior explicit, and to
test any changes in this area in future.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Adjust formatting style to conform with
guidelines in HACKING: put braces around two one-line "else" blocks.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: Use $(...), not `...`, and
stat rather than ls+cut to get the mode string.
mode=$(stat --p=%A dst/dir)
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): If we don't create the directory,
then we cannot have omitted permissions. Problem and trivial
fix reported by Eric Lammerts.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp/existing-perm-dir.
* tests/cp/existing-perm-dir: New file.
|
|
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would
return early once it found that the destination is not older than the
source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping.
That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the
destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links
(perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link
per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists
in the destination tree.
Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419.
* tests/cp/preserve-link: New file. Exercise the flaw/fix.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* 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.

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
|
|
* tests/misc/timeout: Check that 'timeout' is not confused when
starting off with a child.
|
|
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.
