Following Pádraig Brady's example from coreutils, ...
* bootstrap.conf: Add an explicit requirement on m4.
Add an explicit requirement on texi2pdf which is often packaged
separately to makeinfo and induces a failure far down the
distribution phase if not present.
Replace the rsync dependency with wget,
which gnulib changed to in 2018.
Also, add an xz requirement and a version for autopoint.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add extern-inline.
* src/diff.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN and _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
(DIFF_INLINE): New macro.
(robust_output_style): Now an inline function, not a macro
ROBUST_OUTPUT_STYLE. All uses changed.
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE meaning has changed, need AC_SYS_YEAR2038 as well
* NEWS: mention this
* tests: add test
* bootstrap.conf: add year2038
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
This pacifies this notice from ./bootstrap: “Notice from module
fdl: Don't use this module! Instead, copy the referenced license
file into your version control repository.”
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove fdl.
* doc/fdl.texi: New file, taken from Gnulib.
Prefer the macros used in attribute.h, and _Noreturn,
to the by-hand use of __attribute__, as this is more portable.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add attribute.
* src/system.h: Include attribute.h. All uses of
attributes changed to use the attribute.h macros.
Plus, use _Noreturn.
(FALLTHROUGH): Remove; attribute.h now defines this.
This simplifies the code by using varargs.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add flexmember.
(XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Do not flag message5.
* src/util.c: Include flexmember.h, stdarg.h.
(struct msg): New members msgid, argbytes. args is now
FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER, and does not contain msgid.
All uses changed.
(message): Now varargs. Detect number of args by counting '%'s.
Use FLEXSIZEOF, to avoid problems on systems with buggy
allocators. Avoid redundant ‘*p = 0’ when *p is already zero
after stpcpy.
(message5): Remove; all callers changed to use ‘message’.
(print_message_queue): Abort if too many args were passed;
this cannot happen with current diffutils.
This should fix an unlikely signal handling bug with colored
output, and should also fix a Debian FTBFS (Fails To Build From
Source) on powerpc64le-linux. See Bug#34519 and Frédéric
Bonnard’s report in:
https://bugs.debian.org/922552#19
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add raise, sigprocmask.
* src/diff.c (main): Call cleanup_signal_handlers before exiting.
Don’t bother calling ‘exit’; no longer needed nowadays.
* src/util.c (sigprocmask, siginterrupt) [!SA_NOCLDSTOP]:
Define to 0 instead of empty, since the results are now used.
(sigset_t) [!SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Remove; we now rely on Gnulib.
(xsigaction) [SA_NOCLDSTOP]: New function.
(xsigaddset, xsigismember, xsignal, xsigprocmask): New functions.
(some_signals_caught): New static var.
(process_signals): Omit a conditional branch.
Don’t bother loading interrupt_signal if stop_signal_count is nonzero.
(process_signals, install_signal_handlers):
Check for failures from sigprocmask etc.
(sig, nsig): Now at top level, since multiple functions need them.
(install_signal_handlers): No need for caught_sig array;
just use caught_signals. However, set some_signals_caught.
(cleanup_signal_handlers): New function.
sprintf fails if the result contains more than INT_MAX bytes,
so rework the code to avoid usage of sprintf %s where the
string might be longer than that.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove xvasprintf.
* src/diff.c (specify_style):
* src/util.c (begin_output):
Rewrite to avoid sprintf %s.
* src/util.c: Do not include xvasprintf.h.
(concat): Remove, as it uses sprintf %s. All uses rewritten.
Problem reported by Than (Bug#47362).
Fix the bug by using xmalloca instead of vararrays.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xmalloca; remove vararrays.
* configure.ac: Remove AC_C_VARARRAYS.
* src/ifdef.c: Include xmalloca.h instead of xalloc.h.
(do_printf_spec): Use xmalloca instead of an xmalloc
that lacks a corresponding ‘free’ if HAVE_C_VARARRAYS
due to a typo in 2017-05-18T05:51:31Z!meyering@fb.com.
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.
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.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use getopt-gnu, rather than
obsolete "getopt" module. Use nstrftime in place of strftime.
(avoided_gnulib_modules): Do not avoid the "lock" module. That
would lead to a build failure due to "glthread/lock.h not found".
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Require at least autoconf 2.62,
up from 2.61, just as grep and coreutils do.
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): "Copy pkg-config's pkg.m4 ...",
copied from grep's bootstrap.conf.
(avoided_gnulib_modules): Pull this definition to the top.
Formatting.
Problem reported by alec (Bug#35256).
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use strtoimax and xstrtoimax,
not strtoumax and strtoumax.
* src/cmp.c (bytes): Now signed, with -1 representing no limit.
All uses changed.
* src/cmp.c (specify_ignore_initial, main):
* src/diff.c (main):
* src/ifdef.c (format_group):
* src/sdiff.c (interact):
Use strtoimax, not strtoumax.
Problem reported for MS-Windows by Richard Gering (Bug#34376).
Diffutils doesn’t need any of the Gnulib fixes for setlocale.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras):
Avoid the setlocale module.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stdopen.
* doc/diffutils.texi (Comparing Directories):
Do not document behavior if stdin is closed.
* src/diff.c: Include stdopen.h.
(main): Call stdopen early.
(compare_files) [__hpux]: Remove recently-introduced
special case for HP-UX exec with stdin closed.
* tests/new-file: Remove tests of the removed feature.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_epilogue): Merge from coreutils, so that
a local commit hook will now help enforce consistent commit messages.
* Makefile.am (check-git-hook-script-sync): New rule, largely copied
from coreutils.
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: New file, from coreutils, but
with adapted list of program names.
* scripts/git-hooks/applypatch-msg: New file, from git.
* scripts/git-hooks/pre-applypatch: Likewise.
* scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit: Likewise.
* bootstrap (gnulib_modules): Add 'argmatch'.
* doc/diffutils.texi: Add documentation for --palette
* src/diff.h (set_color_palette): New prototype.
* src/diff.c (set_color_palette): New function.
(color_palette): New variable.
* src/utils.c: Include "argmatch.h".
(struct bin_str): New struct.
(struct color_ext_type): New struct.
(color_indicator): New array.
(indicator_name): New array.
(indicator_no): New enum.
(parse_state): New enum.
(put_indicator): New function.
(get_funky_string): New function. Copied from coreutils ls.
(parse_diff_color): New function. Copied from coreutils ls
"parse_ls_color" function.
(set_color_context): Use put_indicator instead of directly
outputting the sequence.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add 'lib/argmatch.c'
On my platform (AMD Phenom II X4 910e, Fedora 17 x86-64), this sped up
'cmp -n 8GiB /dev/full /dev/zero' by a factor of 3.8, and
'cmp -sn 8GiB /dev/full /dev/zero' by a factor of 1.8.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rawmemchr.
* src/cmp.c (cmp): Optimize the common case where buffers are the same,
by using count_newlines rather than block_compare_and_count.
(block_compare_and_count): Remove.
(count_newlines): New function.
* src/cmp.c (count_newlines):
* src/io.c (prepare_text):
* src/sdiff.c (lf_copy, lf_skip, lf_snarf):
Use rawmemchr instead of memchr, for speed.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vararrays.
(needed_gnulib_files, unnecessary_gettext_files): New vars.
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): New function, to implement these vars.
(excluded_files): Remove; 'bootstrap' no longer supports this.
Its function is now performed by unnecessary_gettext_files.
(buildreq): Update automake to 1.12.2, to avoid CVE-2012-3386.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Bump from 0.17 to 0.18.2,
to lessen the probability that we'll have outlandishly old files
during a build.
* m4/vararrays.m4: Remove from repository, as we now use the
gnulib version.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnulib's xvasprintf module.
* src/util.c: Include "xvasprintf.h".
(begin_output): Use xasprintf in place of xmalloc+sprintf.
Problem reported by Eli Zaretskii in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2012-05/msg00013.html>.
Approach suggested by Bruno Haible as option (4) in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2012-05/msg00036.html>.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add system-quote.
* src/diff3.c, src/sdiff.c, src/util.c:
Include <system-quote.h>, not <sh-quote.h>.
* src/diff3.c (read_diff):
* src/sdiff.c (main, edit):
* src/util.c (begin_output):
Use system_quote_argv, for portability to Mingw.
* src/sdiff.c (NUM_SIGS, handler_index_of_SIGINT): Now enum
values, not macros; this is cleaner and avoids a GCC warning if
!HAVE_WORKING_VFORK.
* src/util.c (begin_output) [! HAVE_WORKING_FORK]: Do not use -f,
for consistency with the HAVE_WORKING_FORK code.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove sigprocmask.
* src/sdiff.c (temporary_file): No need to invoke sigprocmask
here, since the signal handler merely sets a flag.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Add both --symlink
and --makefile-name=gnulib.mk. Also remove now-obsolete $bt/ prefix.
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
* lib/Makefile.am: Initialize numerous variables, so that
generated code in gnulib.mk may use += to append to them.
* src/diff.c: Include binary-io.h, not xfreopen.h.
(main): Use SET_BINARY (...) rather than xfreopen (NULL, X, ...),
because the latter doesn't work on MinGW and crashes using MSVC.
* src/cmp.c (main): Likewise.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras):
Add "--avoid=localename --avoid=lock", because we don't want to
bring in the multithreading code that recent gnulib changes would
otherwise bring in.
(excluded_files): Remove m4/lock.m4; no longer needed, now that
we use --avoid=lock.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add readme-release.
(bootstrap_epilogue): Add the recommended perl one-liner.
* README-release: Remove file; it is now generated from gnulib.
* .gitignore: Add it.
