coreutils/src/seq.c, branch v8.7

maint: remove an unnecessary FIXME comment

2010-10-28T13:22:08Z

* src/seq.c (terminator): This does not need to be specifiable via an option. Remove the FIXME comment.

maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010

2010-01-01T13:06:47Z

Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright

doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --help

2009-09-21T11:37:57Z

* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez

global: convert indentation-TABs to spaces

2009-08-25T07:21:00Z

seq: Fix equal width calculation when '.' added to last number

2009-02-14T23:47:14Z

Issue reported by Samuel Hapák. * src/seq.c: Account for '.' added to "last" number. * tests/misc/seq: Add corresponding test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.

seq: improve quality of format-checking code

2008-10-26T08:51:33Z

* src/seq.c (validate_format): Remove. Migrate its checks into... (long_double_format): Report an error and exit if an error is found, instead of returning NULL. All callers changed. Use a more-consistent format for diagnostics. * tests/misc/seq: Adjust to the more-consistent format for diagnostics.

seq: revert Solaris 8 work-around that caused x86 regression

2008-10-25T08:59:07Z

* src/seq.c: Don't include , . (abs_rel_diff): Remove. (print_numbers): Test for equality, not for an epsilonish value. This reverts 4827dd27b0c655a685947aaa01426a5ecba179f3, aka v6.10-185-g4827dd2, which broke 'seq' on the x86; for example, it causes "seq 9223372036854775807 9223372036854775808" to incorrectly output 3 numbers instead of 2. It's better to punish obsolescent hosts that have incorrectly-working floating-point than to punish correctly-working hosts. * tests/misc/seq: Use 0.9000000000000, rather than 0.90000000000000000000, to avoid tickling a bug in Solaris 8 strtold, which converts "0.9" and "0.9000000000000" correctly, but incorrectly converts "0.90000000000000000000" to a smaller value.

seq: solve e13188e7ef7bbd609c1586332a335b4194b881aa more cleanly

2008-09-29T13:28:03Z

* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Don't switch c_strtold -> strtold in order to accommodate the locale-dependent behavior of our internal asprintf use. Instead, simply set the locale to C before calling asprintf, and then set it back afterwards.

seq -0.1 0.1 2: print final number when locale's decimal point is ","

2008-09-26T21:31:30Z

* src/seq.c (print_numbers): Use strtold, not c_strtold to convert from just-formatted-using-asprintf string back to double, since asprintf may have used something other than "." as the decimal point. Reported by lsof@nodata.co.uk as . Thanks to Ondřej Vašík for discovering that the bug was locale-related. $ LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0 [Exit 1] $ seq -0.1 0.1 2|grep 2.0 2.0 * tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add LOCALE_FR_UTF8, for... * tests/misc/seq [locale-dec-pt]: New test for the above. * NEWS (bug fix): Mention it.
