<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, ...);

Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

<title>all: avoid quoting file names when possible</title>

<id>urn:sha1:08e8fd7e38f2dae7c69c54eb22d508b6517e66e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always"
methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells,
and better support copy and paste of presented names.
The "always" variant is used when the file name is
embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule
to suggest quotef() where appropriate.
(sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf().
* src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting
when needed.  I.E. when shell character or ':' is present.
(quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote.
* src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote()
where appropriate.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

<title>all: replace most uses of quotearg_colon() with quote()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab40a941a07d80326aaa051e3c94c88b800cbd7d</id>
<content type='text'>
Related to commit v8.24-61-g6796698 this provides
more consistent quoting, as quotearg_colon() defaults
to "literal" quoting by default, while quote()
provides appropriate quoting for diagnostics by default.

* gl/modules/randread: Depend on quote module rather than quotearg.
* gl/lib/randread.c: Used quote() not quotearg_colon().
* src/: Likewise.
* src/shred.c: Likewise. Also avoid unnecessary quoting
introducing overhead when wiping names.
* cfg.mk: Relax the matching expression to allow
"qname" variables as used in shred.c to satisfy the check.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

<id>urn:sha1:6796698c9945d87236ffcc939137d0919ef04931</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>build: Pacify GCC 5 on 32-bit hosts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f689642bac132e189d0c0960c171ae9043a37298</id>
<content type='text'>
This pacifies GCC 5 in a better way, without disabling diagnostics.
* src/df.c (main): Tell compiler that optind is positive.
* src/shred.c (known): New function.
(dopass): Go back to off_t for file sizes.
Avoid integer overflow if we run off the end of the file.
Tell compiler that a write cannot write more bytes than requested.

<title>build: avoid -Wstrict-overflow warnings with GCC 5.1 on 32 bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:00ac17889345fe48f6fa4eb2e9457319199e0fe2</id>
<content type='text'>
* src/shred.c (dopass): With -O2, GCC 5.1 gives "assuming signed
overflow does not occur when simplifying conditional to constant"
warnings, in regard to the signed (off_t) variables.  Therefore
use unsigned (uintmax_t) instead, and a separate boolean to cater
for the special meaning of the negative part of the integer range.

<content type='text'>
* src/shred.c (usage): For -u, separate the decscription
of the short and long option, to clarify that the short option
takes no parameter.
* src/split.c (usage): Likewise for -d.
* src/tee.c (usage): Likewise for -p.
* src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise for -D.
