Improve the check for departures from C89, and fix the departures

2006-11-27T10:27:46Z

I found. * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also check for C89 compatibility as best we can with GCC. * src/stat.c (PRINTF_OPTION): Omit comma before } in enum declaration; C89 doesn't allow this. * src/dcgen: Don't generate string literals longer than what C89 requires support for. * src/cut.c (usage): Don't use string literals longer than what C89 requires support for. * src/date.c (usage): Likewise. * src/dd.c (usage): Likewise. * src/du.c (usage): Likewise. * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise. * src/od.c (usage): Likewise. * src/readlink.c (usage): Likewise. * src/seq.c (usage): Likewise. * src/shred.c (usage): Likewise.

Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.

* src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static, so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing both buffers at each of the early "return"s.

* src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the

"fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault in .

* src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on

2006-10-05T21:39:12Z

HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too. (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if they are known to work. * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a race condition reliably.

Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not

2006-08-16T19:36:46Z

unsigned long int values. * src/system.h (select_plural): New function. * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise. * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it doesn't need a plural form.

* src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this

causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported by Egmont Koblinger.

Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.

2006-08-09T21:16:28Z

(apply_translations): Use toupper rather than

2006-07-09T17:01:38Z

islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly for tolower.

* src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.

2006-07-08T06:04:18Z

(iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
