maint: handle file sizes more reliably

2012-05-10T09:02:42Z

Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in . * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed memory objects the same way as with regular files. (dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects. * src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow. (print_only_size): Report overflow. (process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case. * src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size. * src/split.c (main): * src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main): On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to use for the file size. * src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms, e.g., GNU/Linux.

doc: clarify --help output for some optional arguments

2012-01-31T12:53:45Z

* src/pr.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate that the argument is optional for the short option. * doc/coreutils.texi (pr invocation): Likewise. * src/od.c (usage): Fix the -S description to indicate that the argument is required for the short option. Clarify -w takes an argument and that it is optional.

maint: use single copyright year range

maint: adjust formatting of certain continued strings

2012-01-11T08:27:50Z

Add a rule to ding any source file that has a continued string with a word in the first column of the following line. Those tend to trigger malfunction in tools that try to map an arbitrary line number to an enclosing function name. Of course, very many strings do precisely this, *when they are part of the usage function*. So we exempt the body of each usage function. * src/dircolors.c (main): Separate a long, continued string into two separately-quoted parts. * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Likewise. (decode_one_format, main): Move a space from end of preceding line to the beginning of the continued line. * src/tr.c (unquote, string2_extend, validate): Likewise. * src/seq.c (main): Split in two and use string concatenation. * src/stat.c (default_format): Use a mix of techniques. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_continued_string_alpha_in_column_1): New rule. Exempt three files in src: system.h, od.c, printf.c.

maint: src/*.[ch]: convert more `...' to '...'

2012-01-09T20:51:59Z

Run this (twice): git grep -E -l '`.+'\' src/*.[ch] \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.+?'\'')/'\''$1/'

maint: src/*.c: change remaining quotes (without embedded spaces)

2012-01-09T20:50:08Z

Run this (twice): git grep -E -l '`[^ ]+'\' src/*.c \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/`([^ ]+'\'')/'\''$1/'

maint: adjust quoting: emit '...', not `...' in diagnostics

2012-01-09T20:50:08Z

* src/csplit.c (parse_repeat_count, extract_regexp): As above. * src/date.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise. * src/od.c (decode_one_format, main): Likewise. * src/pathchk.c (no_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/pr.c (main, getoptarg): Likewise. * src/rm.c (diagnose_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/sort.c (key_warnings, incompatible_options, main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_esc_char): Print '\x', not `\x' in diagnostic. * src/test.c (main): Likewise. * src/touch.c (main): Likewise. * src/tr.c (build_spec_list, validate, append_range): Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: This is an unusual case, since the affected string contains only the ` of an `...' string. So we change the long ` to a lone '. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Manual quote adapting fix-up. * tests/ln/hard-to-sym: Likewise. * tests/split/suffix-length: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/chcon: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-printf: Likewise.

maint: use new emit_try_help in place of equivalent fprintf

2012-01-07T15:54:26Z

Run this command: perl -0777 -pi -e \ 's/fprintf \(stderr, _\("Try `%s --help.*\n.*;/emit_try_help ();/m'\ src/*.c

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

od,test: address warnings from gcc's -Wjump-misses-init

2011-12-04T09:31:03Z

* src/test.c (unary_operator): gcc reported that initializations in two case statements were skipped. Enclose in braces. * src/od.c (decode_one_format): Likewise.
