coreutils/tests/test-lib.sh, branch v8.7

tests: move most helper functions from test-lib.sh to new init.cfg

2010-06-30T16:11:50Z

From there, they will be used by both test-lib.sh (as we phase it out) and the newer init.sh, to which all tests will migrate. * tests/test-lib.sh: Move most functions from here, ... * tests/init.cfg: ...to here. New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add init.cfg.

sort: use long doubles for general numeric mode

2010-04-29T17:55:57Z

* src/sort.c (general_numcompare): Use long doubles unconditionally, and strtold when available, to convert numbers with greater range and precision. Performance was seen to be on par with standard doubles. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Amend the -g description to mention long double rather than double, and strtold rather than strtod. * src/getlimits.c (main): Output floating point limits for use in tests. * tests/misc/sort-float: A new test to ensure sort is using long doubles when possible, and that locale specific floats are handled. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * tests/test-lib.sh (getlimits_): Normalize indenting. * NEWS: Mention the new behaviour. Reported by Nelson Beebe.

tests: clean up also upon SIGQUIT

2010-04-24T13:50:41Z

* tests/test-lib.sh: Also trap on SIGQUIT. Spotted by Dmitry V. Levin.

tests: fix exit status of signal handlers in shell scripts

2010-04-23T13:44:19Z

The value of `$?' on entrance to signal handlers in shell scripts cannot be relied upon, so set the exit code explicitly. * cfg.mk (sc_always_defined_macros, sc_system_h_headers): Set the exit code in signal handler explicitly to 128 + SIG. * src/Makefile.am (sc_tight_scope): Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.

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

tests: fix a bug in sanitize_path_ that inhibited verbose output

2009-12-03T16:04:16Z

* tests/test-lib.sh (sanitize_path_): Use "set -- ...", not "set - ...", since the latter turns off the -x setting we rely on for VERBOSE=yes output.

tests: avoid test failures when PATH contains an unsearchable directory

2009-11-23T16:49:39Z

* tests/test-lib.sh (sanitize_path_): New function. Always call it.

tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.sh

2009-10-30T11:50:12Z

Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.

tests: mkdir/selinux: avoid spurious failure on some SELinux systems

2009-08-26T08:06:53Z

* tests/test-lib.sh (require_selinux_enforcing_): New function. * tests/mkdir/selinux: Use it. Otherwise, this test would fail on Rawhide with SELinux disabled.

maint: remove Local Variables: indent-tabs-mode: nil from all sources

2009-08-25T07:21:00Z

* src/getlimits.c: Likewise. * src/group-list.c: Likewise. * src/groups.c: Likewise. * src/mktemp.c: Likewise. * src/setuidgid.c: Likewise. * src/stdbuf.c: Likewise. * src/timeout.c: Likewise. * src/truncate.c: Likewise. * gl/lib/mbsalign.c: Likewise. * tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise. * README-hacking: Likewise.
