tests: numfmt: fix false failures on some systems

2024-03-26T20:09:35Z

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Verify that printf field width specs count characters and not bytes before enabling locale tests. This was seen on FreeBSD 14.0 and Solaris 11 OpenIndiana. Reported by Bruno Haible

tests: avoid false failure with partial locale info

2024-03-25T18:40:53Z

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Some systems with the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale installed, do not have a thousands grouping character defined. In this case we skip the locale tests which depend on a non empty grouping character.

env,kill,timeout: support unnamed signals

2024-03-13T16:15:35Z

Some signals with values less that the max signal number for the system do not have defined names. For example, currently on amd64 Linux, signals 32 and 33 do not have defined names, and Android has a wider gap of undefined names where it reserves some realtime signals. Previously the signal listing in env ended up reusing the name of the last printed valid signal (the repeated HUP below): $ env --list-signal-handling true HUP ( 1): IGNORE HUP (32): BLOCK HUP (38): IGNORE ..and the corresponding signal numbers were rejected as operands for the env, kill, and timeout commands. This patch removes the requirement that sig2str returns 0 for a signal number associated with an operand. This allows unnamed signals to be in the sets `env' attempts to manipulate when a --*-signal option is used with no argument, and kill(1) and timeout(1) to send such unnamed signals. * src/operand2sig.c (operand2sig): Drop signame argument, accept all signal numbers <= SIGNUM_BOUND. All callers updated. * src/env.c (parse_signal_action_params, reset_signal_handlers) (parse_block_signal_params, set_signal_proc_mask) (list_signal_handling): Accept all signal numbers <= SIGNUM_BOUND, use SIG%d for printing if necessary. * src/kill.c (list_signals, main): Likewise. (send_signals): Check errno from kill(3) for bad signo. * src/timeout.c (main): Update operand2sig call. * tests/misc/kill.sh: Test listing all signal numbers. * NEWS: Mention the improvement.

mktemp: fix template diagnostic with --suffix

2024-02-27T14:59:33Z

* src/mktemp.c (main): When --suffix is specified, TEMPLATE points to the meraged buffer DEST_NAME. As X's in the suffix are not significant to the generated random characters, the diagnostic for too few X's should only refer to the template portion. * tests/misc/mktemp.pl: Adjust accordingly. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

tests: move join tests to their own directory

2024-02-27T14:27:04Z

* tests/misc/join-utf8.sh: Move to tests/join since there are now multiple join tests. * tests/misc/join.pl: Likewise.

tests: simplify treatment of the $LOCALE_FR_UTF8 variable

2024-02-27T14:27:04Z

* tests/df/problematic-chars.sh: Rely on gnulib setting this to "none" where not usable. * tests/misc/sleep.sh: Likewise. * tests/printf/printf-mb.sh: Likewise. * tests/printf/printf-quote.sh: Likewise. * tests/sort/sort-debug-keys.sh: Likewise.

join: avoid test failure on systems with no French UTF-8 locale

2024-02-27T14:26:35Z

* tests/misc/join-utf8.sh: Test the value of LOCALE_FR_UTF8 against 'none', not against a missing value. Fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/69418

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2024-01-01T13:27:23Z

Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years are the only change from the previous gnulib commit. * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Manually update copyright year, until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

tests: numfmt: fix test related to lower case 'k' SI unit

2023-12-29T18:04:36Z

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Following on from v9.4-86-g615167cc4, adjust this test accordingly. This test was being skipped on some systems, and so only noticed now. Reported by Jim Meyering.

tests: run locale tests on more systems

2023-12-29T18:04:29Z

* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Determine the thousands grouping character in use, rather than skipping locale tests when it's not a space. For example fr_FR.UTF-8 uses "NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE" as the grouping char on modern glibc systems at least. * tests/sort/sort-h-thousands-sep.sh: Likewise.
