1399b225eb diff: plug memory leak in ifdef.c
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.

db5ff0eb0a maint: avoid gnulib-tool deprecation warnings, and build failure
* 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".

59f4ef95f8 cmp, diff, sdiff: tune by using rawmemchr
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):

0c22f56ed7 maint: update build procedure to recent gettext etc.
* 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.

3549f733b9 main: port subcommands to mingw
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.
