and quote appropriately.

sort: use more dynamic memory allocation with pipes2026-04-29T12:16:21ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2026-04-27T14:48:30Zurn:sha1:38cf97c1ff81895ca3c2b20ede817380e7004dcf
The default memory allocation with pipes was too passive/static,
resulting in not allocating enough memory to enable threading.
By dynamically reallocating the buffer when reading from
unknown sized inputs we better use available memory and threads.
$ time seq 10000000 -1 0 | sort-old >/dev/null
real 0m16.523s
user 0m16.900s
sys 0m0.167s
$ time seq 10000000 -1 0 | sort-old -S1G >/dev/null
real 0m12.263s
user 0m29.646s
sys 0m0.527s
$ time seq 10000000 -1 0 | sort-new >/dev/null
real 0m12.994s
user 0m31.266s
sys 0m0.716s
It also avoids the overhead of writing to temp files
for modestly sized inputs. For example the following
input would induce interaction with temp storage:
$ seq 125000 | wc -c

* src/sort.c (sort_buffer_size): Rename to ...
(sort_buffer_policy): ... here, and adjust to set
an initial size and limit, rather than just a size.
(fillbuf): Add a POLICY parameter, and use that
to call maybe_growbuf() as needed.
(maybe_growbuf): Return true if POLICY dictates we
should grow the buffer, and try_growbuf() was
able to reallocate the larger buffer.
* tests/sort/sort-buffer-size.sh: Add a new test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference new test.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

tests: avoid failures if 'ulimit -n' cannot set file descriptor limits2026-01-24T19:20:56ZCollin Funkcollin.funk1@gmail.com2026-01-24T19:15:10Zurn:sha1:ec77664a31c474319e4987f1194b009769410477
This fixes test failures seen on Haiku.
* tests/ls/recursive.sh: Run 'ls' even if ulimit fails.
* tests/split/r-chunk.sh: Run 'split' even if ulimit fails.
* tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Skip test if 'ulimit -n' cannot set
file descriptor limits.

* tests/dd/conv-case.sh: Use octal instead.
* tests/ls/hyperlink.sh: Likewise.
* tests/sort/sort-locale.sh: Likewise.
test: re-enable tests that had a false requirement on coreutils' kill2025-11-29T12:17:27ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2025-11-28T17:39:20Zurn:sha1:faa566372d54f12bc4d89b367e386fc38bf127cd
Recently we've not built our kill command by default,
so reduce test dependence on that.
* tests/sort/sort-compress-proc.sh: `kill -l [exit_status]` is well
supported, and is a POSIX requirement.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: There were actually no kill invocations
in this test at all.

* tests/sort/sort-locale.sh: Check sort,ls have the same (non C) order.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
sort: fix silent exit upon SIGPIPE from --compress-program2025-10-29T19:03:23ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2025-10-28T19:30:08Zurn:sha1:b294aff3fe6c8ebeda02b8c77877ba618474de41
* src/sort.c (main): Ignore SIGPIPE so we've more control over
how we handle for stdout and compression programs.
(sort_die): Handle EPIPE from stdout and mimic a standard SIGPIPE,
otherwise reverting to a standard exit(SORT_FAILURE);
* tests/sort/sort-compress-proc.sh: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
