maint: update the mbsalign module

2010-03-19T19:23:45Z

* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Support the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK flag which reverts to unibyte mode if one can't allocate memory or if there are invalid multibyte characters present. Note memory is no longer dynamically allocated in unibyte mode so one can assume that mbsalign() will not return an error if this flag is present. Don't calculate twice, the number of spaces, when centering. Suppress a signed/unsigned comparison warning. (ambsalign): A new wrapper function to dynamically allocate the minimum memory required to hold the aligned string. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Add the MBA_UNIBYTE_FALLBACK flag and also document others that may be implemented in future. (ambsalign): A prototype for the new wrapper. * gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): New test program. * gl/modules/mbsalign-tests: A new index to reference the tests. * .x-sc_program_name: Exclude test-mbsalign.c from this check.

tests: fix link failure on cygwin

2009-11-24T13:36:13Z

Counterpart to commit 8fe40b84bd8, since test-link.c uses rename, and we override gnulib with a rename() replacement that can xalloc_die. * gl/modules/link-tests.diff: New file.

maint: move xfreopen module to gnulib

2009-11-20T06:37:56Z

* gl/lib/xfreopen.c: Remove file. * gl/lib/xfreopen.h: Likewise. * gl/modules/xfreopen: Likewise.

build: update gnulib, for getgroups improvements

2009-11-13T14:50:20Z

A replacement getgroups is now guaranteed to exist, but it may fail with ENOSYS. mgetgroups is moved to gnulib, and now takes gid_t instead of GETGROUPS_T (but setgroups still needs GETGROUPS_T). * gnulib: Update to latest. * gl/modules/mgetgroups: Delete, moved to gnulib. * gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: Likewise. * gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: Likewise. * gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: Likewise. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Adjust callers. * src/id.c (print_full_info): Likewise.

build: consistently use freopen-safer

2009-11-07T17:10:28Z

cat, head, ptx, shuf, tac, tail, tee, tr, and uniq used freopen on stdout, and were potentially vulnerable. dircolors, du, and tsort only used it on stdin, which is unaffected by freopen_safer, but this covers all uses for consistency. * cfg.mk (sc_require_stdio_safer): New rule. * gl/modules/xfreopen (Depends-on): Add freopen-safer. * gl/lib/xfreopen.c (includes): Use stdio--.h. * src/ptx.c (includes): Likewise. * src/shuf.c (includes): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (includes): Likewise. * src/dircolors.c (includes): Likewise. * src/du.c (includes): Likewise. * src/tsort.c (includes): Likewise.

build: avoid some warnings

2009-11-02T13:34:24Z

* gl/lib/mbsalign.c (mbsalign): Mark unused parameter. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove obsolete rename-dest-slash. * gnulib-tests/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Reduce set of warnings for gnulib tests. * gl/modules/rename-tests.diff (Makefile.am): New file, to add LIBINTL to LDADD, since we avoid canonicalize-lgpl module. * gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff (regerror, calc_next) (build_collating_symbol, parse_bracket_element, build_equiv_class) (free_tree): Mark unused parameters. * gl/lib/regex_internal.h.diff (re_string_elem_size_at): New file, to mark unused parameters. * gl/lib/printf-args.c.diff (PRINTF_FETCHARGS): New file, to avoid type mismatch. * gl/lib/vasnprintf.c (VASNPRINTF): New file, to avoid shadowing local variable name. * .gitignore: Ignore temporary build artifacts.

maint: move selinux-at module from gl/ to gnulib

2009-08-06T12:32:38Z

* gl/lib/selinux-at.c: Remove file. * gl/lib/selinux-at.h: Likewise. * gl/modules/selinux-at: Likewise. * gnulib: update to latest, to get the new module.

move argv-iter module to gnulib

2009-07-04T15:41:39Z

* gl/lib/argv-iter.c: Remove file. * gl/lib/argv-iter.h: Remove file. * gl/modules/argv-iter: Remove file. * gl/modules/argv-iter-tests: Remove file. * gl/tests/test-argv-iter.c: Remove file. * gnulib: Update submodule, to get argv-iter

ls: fix alignment when month names have varying widths

2009-04-02T23:34:11Z

Reported by Samuel Thibault and Stéphane Raimbault, as the glibc fr_FR locale has recently changed to use the official but variable width abbreviated month names. Other glibc locales also have variable widths. http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2008-q1/msg00035.html http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9859 * NEWS: Mention the fix * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: A new module to align and truncate a string in a specified number of screen cells, while handling multi-byte characters appropriately. * gl/lib/mbsalign.h: Ditto * gl/modules/mbsalign: Ditto * bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module * src/ls.c (abmon_init): New function, precompute the abbreviated months aligned left in a minimum width column <= 5 screen cells. (align_nstrftime): New function, replace the first %b in the format specification to strftime with the precomputed month string. Note using the cached month strings speeds up `ls -lU` by around 17% on glibc-2.7-2 on linux at least. Also if we implement this function using heap storage rather than automatic storage, and use snprintf instead of strcpy, ls will slow down by 2% and 1% respectively (i.e. a net gain of 14% rather than 17%). * tests/ls/abmon-align: A new test to test ls alignment for various formats and locales * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test

argv-iter: add tests

2008-12-01T16:41:08Z

* gl/modules/argv-iter-tests: New module. * gl/tests/test-argv-iter.c: New file.
