<id>urn:sha1:492dcb2eb191b844a2fd5e51db3eed85289bea1f</id>
<content type='text'>
die() has the advantage of being apparent to the compiler
that it doesn't return, which will avoid warnings in some cases,
and possibly generate better code.
* cfg.mk (sc_die_EXIT_FAILURE): A new syntax check rule to
catch any new uses of error (CONSTANT, ...);

<content type='text'>
* src/id.c (main): When configured with --enable-gcc-warnings and using
the very latest gcc built from git, building would fail with this:

    simplifying conditional to constant [-Werror=strict-overflow]
     bool default_format = (just_user + just_group + just_group_list

Rewrite to use bool-appropriate operators.

These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule.
* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

as a parameter, so that consistent references are made to online docs
and texinfo nodes, when a --program-prefix is in place.  Note the
man pages don't need this fix as they're generated before the program
prefix is used.

<title>maint: fix const correctness warnings with security_context_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8e764584fda9c153c1e1387b9f8fa2f2591c28ad</id>
<content type='text'>
The security_context_t type was always an artificial separation
from a standard char* string, and various libselinux using code
assumed both were synonymous.  In addition, prior to libselinux 2.3
function declarations were incorrect wrt constness of this type.
Here we replace security_context_t with char*, and also
provide a wrapper function to cater for the const issue on
older libselinux.

* src/system.h (se_const): A new function to avoid and identify
the const issue on older libselinux.
* src/copy.c: s/security_context_t/char */.
* src/cp.c: Likewise.
* src/id.c: Likewise.
* src/install.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
* src/mkfifo.c: Likewise.
* src/mknod.c: Likewise.
* src/runcon.c: Likewise.
* src/selinux.c: Likewise.
* tests/cp/no-ctx.sh: Likewise.
* src/chcon.c: Likesize.
