* gl/lib/mbbuf.h: Adjust mbbuf_fill() to process full characters
in the slop at the end of a read(). Previously valid characters
in the last MCEL_LEN_MAX bytes were ignored until the next read().
* src/cut.c (cut_fields_bytesearch): Adjust to the new naming.
* NEWS: Mention the fold(1) responsiveness fix, which was
improved with the change from fread() to read(),
and completed with this patch.
cut: ensure responsive input processing2026-04-05T12:15:56ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-04-01T18:37:10Zurn:sha1:d757d32f86bfa1b95d571a9ee566eec9d25b9d51
* gl/lib/mbbuf.h (fill_buf): Switch from fread() to read()
as the former retries read() internally to fill the buffer.
* src/cut.c: Adjust accordingly, and avoid getc() interface entirely.
* bootstrap.h: Depend explicitly on fseterr. This is already depended
on transitively, so should not introduce new build portability issues.
maint: cut: simplify mbbuf_fill2026-04-05T12:15:56ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-26T16:52:56Zurn:sha1:7ceb4c348b8b859525ca857298a4149bf4b4f0ae
We can only byte search with uni-byte or utf-8.
utf-8 implicitly can't false match a delimiter at buffer boundary.
So don't worry about finding the exact utf8 boundary at end of buffer,
rather just ensuring the buffer always starts with a valid character
(by ensuring MCEL_LEN_MAX-1 moved to start of buffer on each refill).
cut: add utf8 helper to mbbuf2026-04-05T12:15:56ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-16T12:45:59Zurn:sha1:ba7c1fbadb2d4aaf0dd211d545eca0b220b36259
* gl/lib/mbbuf.h: To safely search a bounded buffer,
without needed to have unbounded memory with getndelim2.
TODO: rename mbbuf_utf8_safe_prefix to mbbuf_fill_utf8
sort,split,yes: ensure pipe and pipe2 don't open standard descriptors2026-03-18T06:08:37ZCollin Funkcollin.funk1@gmail.com2026-03-18T06:06:16Zurn:sha1:f421d0112890ffa670cf789aba55e8bdb19c2f42
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add pipe2-safer.
* cfg.mk (sc_require_unistd_safer): New rule for 'make syntax-check'.
* gl/lib/fd-reopen.c: Include unistd--.h instead of unistd.h.
* src/sort.c: Include unistd--.h.
* src/split.c: Likewise.
* src/yes.c: Likewise.
maint: prefer memset_explicit to explicit_bzero2026-03-08T00:16:01ZCollin Funkcollin.funk1@gmail.com2026-03-08T00:16:01Zurn:sha1:ab80700bd2a6d11cfe17f8de0313e2ac13260965
The explicit_bzero function is a common extension, but memset_explicit
was standardized in C23. It will likely become more portable in the
future, and Gnulib provides an implementation if needed.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add memset_explicit. Remove
explicit_bzero.
* gl/lib/randint.c (randint_free): Use memset_explicit instead of
explicit_bzero.
* gl/lib/randread.c (randread_free_body): Likewise.
fold: fix output truncation with 0xFF bytes in input2026-03-04T17:45:57ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-03-04T16:56:48Zurn:sha1:a85e9182b1d173c26205dada54133cd9e9174fc1
On signed char platforms, 0xFF was converted to -1
which matches MBBUF_EOF, causing fold to stop processing.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* gl/lib/mbbuf.h: Avoid sign extension on signed char platforms.
* tests/fold/fold-characters.sh: Adjust test case.

* gl/top/maint.mk.diff: Remove as the fix is now in gnulib.
* gl/local.mk: Remove the diff reference.
maintainer-makefile: propagate MAKEINFO to gendocs2026-02-02T21:20:43ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-02-02T20:15:17Zurn:sha1:d9fb823121b1453359d0c6ed8926d4dbb156c59b
Make this change temporarily in coreutils.
Move to gnulib after v9.10 is released.
* top/maint.mk (web-manual): Propagate MAKEINFO explicitly,
rather than requiring it exported in the environment,
which can be awkward on Solaris make for example.

NULL is best for C as discussed at:
https://bugs.gnu.org/66221#53
* bootstrap.conf: Remove dependency on nullptr.
* s/nullptr/NULL/.
