tests: avoid spurious failure when SIZE_MAX is 2^32-1

2013-05-27T22:02:50Z

* tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Since we've limited virtual memory to 20MB, choose a smaller size, 1GiB (which is <= SIZE_MAX) rather than 1EiB, which is larger than SIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems. I confirmed that this test still fails when the split.c-modifying part of v8.21-58-gfec363c is backed out.

split: with --line-bytes only allocate memory as needed

2013-05-23T10:13:24Z

* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Rewrite to only buffer when necessary. I.E. only increase the buffer when we've already lines output in a split and we encounter a line larger than the input buffer size, in which case a hold buffer will be increased in increments of the input buffer size. (lines_rr): Use the more abstract xalloc_die() just like we did in line_bytes_split(), rather than explicitly printing the "memory exhausted" message and exiting. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Add a new test for this function which previously had no test coverage. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/13537

tests: fix usage of require_ulimit_

2013-04-25T10:13:48Z

* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_ as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures if not supported. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/r-chunk.sh: Remove non mandatory require_ulimit_ call. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Adjust to renamed require_ulimit_v_. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.

maint: update all copyright year number ranges

2013-01-01T03:51:20Z

Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

build: don't use recursive make for tests/ subdirectory

2012-09-05T06:48:29Z

* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'tests'. (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/tests/local.mk' file. (check-root): Remove this convenience target, it's no longer needed now that the "real" check-root target once in 'tests/Makefile' will land in the top-level makefile. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'tests/Makefile'. * tests/Makefile.am: Rename ... * tests/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. * tests/init.cfg: Move ... * init.cfg: ... here. This is necessary, for a limitation of the gnulib-provided 'tests/init.sh', which unconditionally look for 'init.cfg' in the $(srcdir) directory. * tests/*/*.sh: Adjust: expect init.sh to be in '$srcdir/tests', not in '$srcdir', and extend $PATH with './src', not with '../src'. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Adjust similarly. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl ($pfx): Likewise.

tests: add .sh and .pl suffixes to shell and perl tests, respectively

2012-08-30T16:55:59Z

Not only this shrinks the size of the generated Makefile (from > 6300 lines to ~3000), but will allow further simplifications in future changes. * tests/Makefile.am (TEST_EXTENSIONS): Add '.sh' and '.pl'. (PL_LOG_COMPILER, SH_LOG_COMPILER): New, still defined simply to $(LOG_COMPILER) for the time being. (TESTS, root_tests): Adjust as described. * All tests: Rename as described.

tests: avoid split/filter test failure on very low-mem system

2012-08-19T15:34:04Z

* tests/split/filter: Use xz -1 when compressing, to minimize memory usage. Otherwise, xz could fail due to insufficient virtual memory on a system with very little free memory.

split: ensure output doesn't overwrite input

2012-06-22T10:34:21Z

* src/split.c (create): Check if output file is the same inode as the input file. * tests/split/guard-input: New test case. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference new test case. * NEWS: Mention the fix. Improved-by: Jim Meyering Reported-by: François Pinard

split: support an arbitrary number of split files by default

2012-03-10T19:36:13Z

* src/split.c (next_file_name): If `suffix_auto' is true and the first suffix character is 'z', generate a new file file name adding `z' to the prefix and increasing the suffix length by one. (set_suffix_length): Disable auto suffix width in various cases. * tests/split/suffix-auto-length: Test it. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (Improvements): Likewise.

split: add the --additional-suffix option

2012-02-20T13:30:26Z

Add the --additional-suffix option, to append an additional static suffix to output file names. * src/split.c (next_file_name): Append suffix to output file names. (main): Handle new --additional-suffix option. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation): Mention it. * tests/split/additional-suffix: New file. Test --additional-suffix. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. Requested by Peng Yu, in bug 6554
