5 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
6 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
8 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
9 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
10 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
11 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
12 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
13 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
14 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
15 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
16 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
17 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
18 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
19 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
20 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
21 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
23 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
24 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
26 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
27 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
28 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
29 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
30 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
31 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
32 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
33 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
37 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
38 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
39 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
41 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
43 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
44 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
46 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
47 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
48 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
49 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
50 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
51 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
52 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
53 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
54 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
55 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
57 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
58 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
59 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
60 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
62 (struct regex_data): New type.
63 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
64 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
65 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
66 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
67 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
68 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
69 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
70 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
72 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
74 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
75 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
77 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
79 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
80 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
83 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
85 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
86 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
88 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
90 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
91 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
92 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
93 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
94 including fixed behavior for //.
95 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
96 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
97 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
99 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
100 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
101 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
102 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
104 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
105 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
106 traversing the string.
107 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
108 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
110 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
111 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
112 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
113 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
114 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
115 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
116 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
118 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
120 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
121 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
122 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
123 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
125 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
127 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
129 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
130 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
132 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
133 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
135 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
137 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
139 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
141 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
142 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
143 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
145 * NEWS: Mention this.
146 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
147 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
148 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
150 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
152 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
153 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
154 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
155 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
156 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
158 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
159 noatime test never tested anything.
161 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
163 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
164 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
166 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
167 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
169 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
171 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
173 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
175 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
176 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
177 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
179 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
180 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
181 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
182 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
184 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
186 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
187 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
188 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
189 Reported by Michael Stone.
191 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
193 * tests/misc/base64: Derive --decode-using tests from the
196 * tests/misc/base64: Factor out a long constant string.
197 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
199 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
200 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
202 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
203 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
205 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
206 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
207 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
208 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
209 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
210 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
212 * README: Add base64 to the list.
214 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
217 * AUTHORS: Mention base64.
219 * man/Makefile.am: Build base64.1.
220 * man/base64.x: New file.
221 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add base64.
222 * src/base64.c: New file.
224 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
226 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
227 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
228 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
229 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
231 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
232 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
233 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.
235 2006-02-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
237 * TODO: Update/correct some obsolete entries.
239 2006-02-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
241 * doc/coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention `sort -k 1b,1'.
242 * src/join.c (usage): Likewise.
243 Documentation problem reported by Philip Kensche.
245 2006-02-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
247 * man/rm.x: Update documentation to match previous patch.
249 2006-02-18 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
251 New option for rm: --interactive=once (-I).
252 * NEWS: Document it, along with change to rm --interactive.
253 * TODO: Remove entry for implementing rm -I
254 * src/rm.c (INTERACTIVE_OPTION): New enum value.
255 (interactive_type): New enum.
256 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
257 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.
258 (usage): Document -I, --interactive=WHEN. Use program_name
259 instead of a basename.
260 (main): New -I option, new behavior to --interactive.
261 * tests/rm/interactive-once: New tests.
262 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
263 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.
265 2006-02-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
267 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
268 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
269 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
270 Patch by Nicolas François.
271 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
272 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
273 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
274 the derived man page properly.
275 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
276 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
277 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
279 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
281 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
282 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
284 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
286 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
288 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
290 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
292 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
294 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
295 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.

299 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
300 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
302 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
304 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
306 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
307 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
308 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
309 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
310 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
311 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
312 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
313 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
314 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
315 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
316 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
318 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
319 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
321 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
323 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
324 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
325 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
326 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
327 go away? was that an accident?)
328 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
329 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
330 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
331 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
332 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
333 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
334 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
335 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
336 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
338 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
339 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
340 violation of its own syntax rules.
341 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
342 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
343 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
344 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
345 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
346 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
347 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
348 resulting duplicates.
349 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
350 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
352 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
354 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
355 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
358 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
360 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
361 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
362 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
363 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
364 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
366 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
368 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
369 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
371 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
372 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
374 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
376 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
377 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
378 the derived man page properly.
379 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
380 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
381 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
383 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
384 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
385 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
386 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
387 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
389 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
391 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
392 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
393 derived man page properly.
394 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
395 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
397 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
399 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
400 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
401 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
402 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
403 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
404 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
405 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
406 * NEWS: Document this.
408 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
410 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
412 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
414 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
415 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
417 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
419 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
421 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
423 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
424 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
426 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
428 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
430 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
431 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
433 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
435 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
436 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
437 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
438 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
440 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
442 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
443 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
444 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
445 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
446 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
447 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
448 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
449 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
450 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
452 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
454 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
456 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
458 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
459 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
461 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
463 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
465 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
467 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
468 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
469 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
470 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
472 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
473 Don't include "lchown.h".
474 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
475 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
477 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
478 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
480 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
483 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
485 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
486 addition of new directories under tests/.
488 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
491 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
493 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
494 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
495 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
497 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
499 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
500 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
501 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
503 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
505 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
506 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
507 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
508 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
510 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
512 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
513 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
514 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
516 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
518 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
519 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
520 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
521 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
523 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
525 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
527 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
529 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
530 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
532 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
534 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
535 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
537 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
539 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
540 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
541 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
543 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
545 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
547 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
549 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
552 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
553 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
554 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
555 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
556 no need for any attribute at all.
558 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
560 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
561 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
562 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
563 goes away when assertions are turned off.
565 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
566 It's already defined in "system.h".
567 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
569 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
571 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
572 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
574 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
576 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
577 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
578 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
579 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
581 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
583 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
585 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
586 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
587 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
588 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
589 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
590 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
591 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
594 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
596 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
598 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
600 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
601 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
602 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
604 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
606 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
607 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
608 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
609 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
610 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
611 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
612 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
613 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
614 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
615 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
616 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
617 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
618 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
620 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
622 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
624 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
625 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
626 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
627 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
628 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
630 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
632 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
633 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
635 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
637 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
638 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
639 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
640 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
641 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
642 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
643 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
644 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
646 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
648 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
649 write error diagnostic.
651 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
653 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
654 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
655 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
656 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
657 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
658 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
659 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
660 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
661 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
663 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
665 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
666 e.g., on a named pipe.
667 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
668 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
670 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
672 Add POSIX ACL support
673 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
674 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
675 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
676 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
677 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
678 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
679 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
680 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
681 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
683 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
684 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
685 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
686 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
687 did a chown before or not.
688 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
689 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
690 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
691 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
693 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
695 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
696 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
697 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
698 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
699 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
700 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
701 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
702 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
703 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
706 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
708 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
709 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
710 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
712 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
714 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
715 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
717 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
719 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
720 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
721 * NEWS: Mention this.
722 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
723 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
724 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
725 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
726 (print_esc_char): New function.
727 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
728 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
730 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
731 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
733 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
735 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
736 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
738 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
739 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
740 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
743 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
744 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
746 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
748 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
750 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
752 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
753 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
754 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
755 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
756 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
757 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
758 improvements carefully.
759 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
760 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
761 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
762 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
763 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
764 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
765 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
766 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
767 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
768 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
769 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
770 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
771 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
772 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
773 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
774 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
776 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
777 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
778 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
779 Number of words is constant again.
780 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
781 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
782 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
783 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
784 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
786 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
787 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
788 with the other member names. All uses changed.
789 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
790 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
791 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
792 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
793 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
794 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
795 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
797 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
798 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
799 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
800 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
802 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
804 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
806 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
807 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
808 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
810 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
812 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
813 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
814 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
815 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
817 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
818 type to conform with convention.
819 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
820 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
821 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
823 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
825 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
826 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
828 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
830 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
831 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
832 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
833 Make state size runtime-configurable.
834 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
835 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
836 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
837 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
838 runtime-configurable.
839 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
840 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
842 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
843 (get_hash): New function.
844 (rand_state): New var.
845 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
847 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
849 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
851 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
853 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
856 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
858 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
860 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
862 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
863 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
864 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
866 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
868 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
869 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
870 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
871 distribute a copy of this script.
872 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
874 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
875 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
876 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
878 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
880 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
881 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
883 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
885 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
886 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
887 (copy_reg): Use them.
888 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
890 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
892 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
893 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
895 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
898 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
900 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
901 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
902 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
903 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
904 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
905 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
907 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
908 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
909 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
910 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
911 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
913 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
915 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
917 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
919 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
920 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
921 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
923 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
924 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
926 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
928 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
929 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
931 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
933 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
935 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
936 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
937 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
938 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
939 ext3 file system to itself).
940 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
941 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
942 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
943 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
944 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
945 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
946 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
947 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
948 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
949 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
950 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
951 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
954 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
956 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
958 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
960 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
962 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
963 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
965 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
966 even after certain types of failure.
968 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
969 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
970 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
971 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
972 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
973 * NEWS: Mention this.
975 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
976 emacs function that updates them works properly.
978 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
980 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
981 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
982 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
983 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
984 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
985 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.

1077 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1079 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
1080 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.

1108 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
1109 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
1110 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,

1158 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
1160 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1162 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
1163 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
1164 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
1166 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1168 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.

1177 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
1179 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
1180 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
1181 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
1183 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
1184 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
1185 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
1186 identical to the one in expand.c.
1188 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
1190 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1192 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
1193 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
1194 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
1195 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
1197 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>

1217 * tests/sha1sum/basic-1 (million-a): Add the "million a's" test (one
1218 of the FIPS test vectors).
