sort: -R now uses less memory on long lines with internal NULs

2010-08-04T23:10:59Z

* lib/Makefile.am (libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Remove xmemxfrm.c, xmemxfrm.h. * lib/memxfrm.c, lib/memxfrm.h, lib/xmemxfrm.c, lib/xmemxfrm.h: Remove. * m4/memxfrm.m4: Likewise. * m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Remove gl_MEMXFRM. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/xmemxfrm.c. * src/sort.c: Don't include xmemxfrm.h. (cmp_hashes): Remove. (xstrxfrm): New function. (compare_random): If a line contains NULs, don't create a big buffer that contains the strxfrm output of each string in the line. Instead, accumulate checksums and differences as we go, so that at any one time we have to store at most the output of a single strxfrm call when processing the line. This removes the need for an memxfrm function.

rm: fix empty-name bug introduced with conversion to use fts

2009-12-01T13:38:39Z

While "rm ''" would properly fail, "rm F1 '' F2" would fail to remove F1 and F2, due to the empty string argument. This bug was introduced on 2009-07-12, via commit 4f73ecaf, "rm: rewrite to use fts". * gnulib: Update to latest, for fixed fts.c. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Describe it. * tests/rm/empty-name: Adjust for changed diagnostic. (mk_file): Define, copied from misc/ls-misc. (empty-name-2): New test, for today's fix. * lib/xfts.c (xfts_open): Reflect the change in fts_open, now that it no longer fails immediately when one argument is the empty string. Assert that the bit flags were not the cause of failure. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove xfts.c. * THANKS: Update. Reported by Ladislav Hagara.

chcon, chgrp, chmod and chown now diagnose a directory cycle

2009-11-07T07:43:00Z

* lib/xfts.c (cycle_warning_required): New function. * lib/xfts.h: Declare it. * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Diagnose a cycle. * src/chmod.c (process_file): Likewise. * src/chcon.c (process_file): Likewise. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.

maint: avoid exiting with magic number

2009-10-29T13:31:23Z

Cope with gnulib's new sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit rule. * .x-sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit: New file, to add exemptions. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Distribute it. * lib/euidaccess-stat.c (main): Fix culprits. * src/chcon.c (main): Likewise. * src/runcon.c (main): Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise.

build (--enable-gcc-warnings): enable gcc's -Werror also in lib/

* configure.ac (GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS): Define. * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Use $(GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS) rather than $(WARN_CFLAGS) and add $(WERROR_CFLAGS). * gl/lib/regcomp.c.diff: New file. * gl/lib/regex_internal.c.diff: New file. * gl/lib/regexec.c.diff: New file.

euidaccess-stat: remove unnecessary macros
