tests: avoid test failure on Android

2023-08-28T11:18:26Z

* gl/tests/test-mbsalign.c (main): Skip the unibyte truncation test on Android, when the "C" locale in fact is multibyte.

shred: fix operation on Solaris with 64 bit builds

2023-08-23T14:23:42Z

* NEWS: Mention the bug fix. * gl/lib/randread.c (get_nonce): Limit getrandom() <= 1024 bytes.

maint: improve static and dynamic checking

2023-07-01T18:51:15Z

This modernizes the source code somewhat, to take advantage of advances in GCC over the years, and Gnulib’s ‘assure’ module. Include assure.h in files that now need it. Do not include assert.h directly; it’s no longer needed. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ‘assure’. * gl/lib/randread.c (randread_error): * src/chmod.c (describe_change): * src/chown-core.c (describe_change): * src/cp.c (decode_preserve_arg): * src/head.c (diagnose_copy_fd_failure): * src/ls.c (parse_ls_color): * src/od.c (decode_one_format): * src/split.c (main): * src/test.c (binary_operator, posixtest): Prefer affirm to abort, since it has better diagnostics in the normal case and better performance with -DNDEBUG. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c, src/die.h: Include stddef.h, for unreachable. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c: Do not include verify.h; no longer needed. * gl/lib/xdectoint.c (__xnumtoint): * src/die.h (die): Prefer C23 unreachable () to assume (false). * gl/lib/xfts.c (xfts_open): * src/basenc.c (base32hex_encode): * src/copy.c (abandon_move, copy_internal, valid_options): * src/cut.c (cut_fields): * src/df.c (alloc_field, decode_output_arg, get_dev): * src/du.c (process_file, main): * src/echo.c (usage): * src/factor.c (udiv_qrnnd, mod2, gcd2_odd, factor_insert_large) (mulredc2, factor_using_pollard_rho, isqrt2, div_smallq) (factor_using_squfof): * src/iopoll.c (iopoll_internal, fwrite_wait): * src/join.c (add_field): * src/ls.c (dev_ino_pop, main, gobble_file, sort_files): * src/mv.c (do_move): * src/od.c (decode_format_string, read_block, dump, main): * src/remove.c (rm): * src/rm.c (main): * src/sort.c (stream_open): * src/split.c (next_file_name, lines_chunk_split): * src/stdbuf.c (main): * src/stty.c (set_speed): * src/tac-pipe.c (line_ptr_decrement, line_ptr_increment): * src/touch.c (touch): * src/tr.c (find_bracketed_repeat, get_next) (validate_case_classes, get_spec_stats, string2_extend, main): * src/tsort.c (search_item, tsort): * src/wc.c (main): Prefer affirm to assert, as it allows for better static checking when compiling with -DNDEBUG. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): * src/df.c (get_field_list): * src/expr.c (printv, null, tostring, toarith, eval2): * src/ls.c (time_type_to_statx, calc_req_mask, get_funky_string) (print_long_format): * src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_fatal): * src/od.c (decode_one_format): * src/stty.c (mode_type_flag): * src/tail.c (xlseek): * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member, get_next, get_spec_stats) (string2_extend): Prefer unreachable () to abort () or assert (false) when merely pacifying the compiler, e.g., in a switch statement on an enum where all cases are covered. * src/copy.c (valid_options): Now returns void; the bool was useless. Caller no longer needs to assert. * src/csplit.c (find_line): * src/expand-common.c (next_file): * src/shred.c (incname): * src/sort.c (main): * src/tr.c (append_normal_char, append_range, append_char_class) (append_repeated_char, append_equiv_class): * src/tsort.c (search_item): Omit assert, since the hardware will check for us. * src/df.c (header_mode): Now the enum type it should have been. * src/du.c (process_file): * src/ls.c (assert_matching_dev_ino): * src/tail.c (valid_file_spec): * src/tr.c (validate_case_classes): Mark defns with MAYBE_UNUSED if they’re not used when -DNDEBUG. * src/factor.c (prime_p, prime2_p, mp_prime_p): Now ATTRIBUTE_PURE. Prefer affirm to error+abort. No need to translate this diagnostic. * src/fmt.c (get_paragraph): * src/stty.c (display_changed, display_all, sane_mode): * src/who.c (idle_string): Prefer assume to assert, since the goal is merely pacification and assert doesn’t pacify anyway if -DNDEBUG is used. * src/join.c (decode_field_spec): Omit unreachable abort. * src/ls.c (assert_matching_dev_ino, main): * src/tr.c (get_next): Prefer assure to assert, since the check is relatively expensive and won’t help static analysis. * src/ls.c (main): Prefer static_assert to assert of a constant expression. (format_inode): Redo to make it clear that buflen doesn’t matter, and that buf must have a certain number of bytes. All callers changed. This pacifies -Wformat-overflow. * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Omit an assert that tested for obviously undefined behavior, as the compiler could optimize it away anyway. * src/od.c (decode_one_format, decode_format_string): Prefer ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL to runtime checking. * src/stat.c: Do not include since system.h does that now. * src/sync.c (sync_arg): Prefer unreachable () to assert (true), which was a typo. * src/system.h: Include stddef.h, for unreachable. * src/tail.c (xlseek): Simplify by relying on ‘error’ to exit.

maint: prefer C23-style nullptr

2023-06-29T22:29:29Z

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add nullptr. In code, prefer nullptr to NULL where either will do.

maint: use alignasof, not stdalign

2023-02-04T22:42:58Z

* .gitignore: Update accordingly. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace obsolescent stdalign with alignasof. * gl/modules/randread (Depends-on): Depend on alignasof, not stdalign.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2023-01-01T14:50:15Z

Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Manually update copyright year, until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

all: prefer HTTPS to HTTP

2022-09-18T18:42:02Z

* README-hacking: * README-prereq: * THANKS.in: * doc/sort-version.texi (Other version/natural sort implementations): * gl/lib/rand-isaac.c: * gl/tests/test-rand-isaac.c: * src/operand2sig.c (operand2sig): * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): * tests/misc/env-signal-handler.sh: * tests/misc/sort-debug-warn.sh (LC_ALL): Prefer HTTPS to HTTP. Addresses https://bugs.gnu.org/56512 Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes

maint: prefer static_assert to verify

2022-09-15T06:16:31Z

* bootstrap.conf: Add assert-h. * gl/lib/randperm.c: Do not include verify.h. * gl/lib/randperm.c, src/basenc.c, src/dd.c, src/digest.c: * src/dircolors.c, src/expr.c, src/factor.c, src/ls.c, src/numfmt.c: * src/od.c, src/seq.c, src/shred.c, src/sort.c, src/stat.c: Prefer C23’s static_assert to nonstandard verify. * gl/modules/randperm (Depends-on): Add assert-h.

maint: assume C23 alignof

2022-09-15T05:44:01Z

* gl/lib/randread.c, src/stat.c (print_statfs): No need to include stdalign.h, now that alignof is a keyword in C23 and Gnulib arranges for this.

maint: don’t include config.h twice

2022-09-15T05:44:01Z

* gl/lib/fadvise.h, gl/lib/smack.h, src/blake2/blake2-impl.h: Do not include config.h from a .h file. config.h is supposed to be included once, at the start of compilation and before any other file.
