10 gzip: simplify by closing ourselves
11 This simplifies the previous fix, by avoiding the use of the
12 closein module. That module was problematic, as gzip normally
13 does not use stdio for output and never uses it for input.
14 Also, it is a heavyweight module, as it drags many files into lib
15 (c-ctype.c, c-ctype.h, closein.c, closein.h, closeout.c, closeout.h,
16 close-stream.c, close-stream.h, config.charset, c-strcasecmp.c,
17 c-strcaseeq.h, c-strcase.h, c-strncasecmp.c, fpending.c, fpending.h,
18 freadahead.c, freadahead.h, localcharset.c, localcharset.h, mbrtowc.c,
19 mbsinit.c, quotearg.c, quotearg.h, quote.h, ref-add.sin, ref-del.sin,
20 streq.h, wctype-h.c, wctype.in.h) and into m4 (closein.m4, closeout.m4,
21 close-stream.m4, codeset.m4, configmake.m4, fpending.m4, freadahead.m4,
22 glibc21.m4, localcharset.m4, locale-fr.m4, locale-ja.m4, locale-zh.m4,
23 mbrtowc.m4, mbsinit.m4, mbstate_t.m4, quotearg.m4, wctype_h.m4),
24 and these files are thus no longer needed.
25 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove closein.
26 * gzip.c: Don't include closein.h.
27 (stdin_was_read): New static var.
28 (main): Don't use close_stdin.
29 Invoke finish_out to exit after outputting via stdio's stdout.
30 Close stdin after reading it.
31 Restore previous way of closing stdout.
32 (treat_stdin): Record that stdin was read.
33 (finish_out): New function.
35 gzip: fix bug with -l output to pipes
36 Problem reported by Christian Franke via Eric Blake in:
37 http://bugs.gnu.org/23314
39 * gzip.c (main): Do not close stdout twice when given -l.
40 Instead, -l now just fflushes stdout, so that fdatasync
41 can synchronize it if --synchronize is also specified.
42 * tests/list: New test case.
43 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
45 2016-03-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
47 Port to Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4
48 Problem reported by Kiyoshi KANAZAWA in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23133
49 * NEWS: Document this.
50 * configure.ac (ASMV): Do not define if NO_ASM is
51 anywhere in DEFS; it doesn't need to be surrounded by white space.
52 * lib/match.c: Do not use x86 version if __x86_64__ is defined.
54 2016-03-27 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
56 maint: post-release administrivia
57 * NEWS: Add header line for next release.
58 * .prev-version: Record previous version.
59 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
62 * NEWS: Record release date.
64 2016-03-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
67 Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23107#13
68 * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in: Don't rely on mktemp -t,
69 as it has a different meaning in NetBSD.
71 * tests/init.sh: Sync from Gnulib.
73 Port to Alpine Linux which uses Busybox
74 * Makefile.am (check-local): Use plain diff rather than
76 2016-03-24 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
78 gzip: also honor GZIP=--rsyncable
79 * gzip.c (main): Also accept --rsyncable when it is specified
80 via the GZIP environment variable.
81 I noticed this when gzip's "make dist" failed because maint.mk
82 detected that gzip now honors --rsyncable, yet when it set GZIP_ENV
83 to include that, and that propagated via automake-generated code
84 to the GZIP setting used in the "make dist" rule, there, it was not
85 honored, and caused "make dist" to fail.
87 2016-03-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
89 Fix typo in previous patch
91 Port to Solaris 11 /bin/sh
92 * m4/shell.m4 (AC_PROG_SHELL): Reject Solaris 11 /bin/sh.
93 A problem was reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe for OpenIndiana.
94 I reproduced a problem with different symptoms on Solaris 11.
95 Switching to Bash fixed it, and I hope this fixes it for
96 OpenIndiana too, since both problems appear to be shell-related.
98 2016-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
100 zgrep: with -f SPECIAL, read SPECIAL just once
101 Problem reported by Fulvio Scapin in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22945
102 * NEWS: Document this.
103 * tests/zgrep-f: Add a test.
104 Adjust a test to cover the case of more than one line in -f's input.
105 * zgrep.in (with_filename): With -f FILE, if FILE is stdin or not
106 a regular file, copy it into a temporary and use the temporary.
108 2016-03-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
110 gzip: port to AIX 7.1 + xlc V12.1
111 * inflate.c, unlzw.c, util.c: Include tailor.h after including any
112 system include file that might in turn include signal.h for the
113 first time, so that SIGPIPE is not #defined to 0 prematurely,
114 which clashes with signal.h's SIGPIPE.
116 2016-03-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
118 gnulib: update to latest
120 maint: don't ignore gitlog-to-changelog failure
121 * Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Don't ignore failure of
122 gitlog-to-changelog. This syncs to coreutils' copy of this rule.
124 2016-03-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
127 * gzip.c (do_list): Use 2D array of char for month abbreviations,
128 as this is clearer anyway, and it pacifies Clang. Problem reported
129 by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22900#40
131 2016-03-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
133 tests: port to systems for which ":" is not the PATH separator
134 * Makefile.am (new_path): New variable.
135 (check-local): Use $(PATH_SEPARATOR) rather than a literal ":",
136 to avoid "make syntax-check" failure.
138 2016-03-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
140 doc: minor --rsyncable doc fixes
141 * doc/gzip.texi (Sample): Mention --rsyncable.
142 * gzip.c (help): Sort and do not capitalize the new --rsyncable
145 gzip: minor zgrep cleanup
146 * zgrep.in: Simplify previous change.
148 gzip: port zgrep to Solaris 11.2
149 Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22900#11
150 * zgrep.in: Port to Solaris 11.2 /bin/sh (ksh 93u 2011-02-08),
151 where $? is 256+SIG when a process was killed with signal SIG, and
152 where 'exit 257' is equivalent to 'exit 1'. Apparently some other
153 sh implementations use 256+128+SIG. So, instead of using plain
154 'exit $?', use the equivalent of 'exit ((128 * (128 <= $?)) + $? %
155 128)' within the script, and use the equivalent of 'kill -$($? %
156 128)' at the top level if the exit status is 128 or more.
158 gzip: remove --__bindir
159 * NEWS: Document this.
160 * gzexe.in, gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in:
161 * zfgrep.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
162 Remove support for undocumented --__bindir option. Callers can
163 set PATH instead; that's less error-prone. This fixes some
164 'make check' failures on my Solaris 11 box, which occurred
165 because the test scripts were mistakenly testing the installed
166 gzip rather than the gzip in the working directory.
167 * Makefile.am (.in): Don't replace bindir.
168 (check-local): Set PATH instead of using --__bindir.
169 * tests/help-version (gunzip_setuphelp, gzexe_setuphelp)
170 (zcat_setuphelp, zcmp_setuphelp, zdiff_setuphelp)
171 (zegrep_setuphelp, zfgrep_setuphelp, zforce_setuphelp)
172 (zgrep_setuphelp, zless_setuphelp, zmore_setuphelp)
173 (znew_setuphelp): Remove. All uses removed.
174 (lbracket_setup): Default args to empty.
176 2016-03-04 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
178 tests: fix "make check" failure on AIX 7.1
179 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Modernize:
180 remove unused shell_or_perl_ function, and use an
181 export_with_values function as grep does, to remove
182 a lot of duplication.
183 Reported by Assaf Gordon in http://debbugs.gnu.org/22900

227 * zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in: Update copyright year in --version
230 gzip: new option --synchronous
231 This follows up on the earlier patch to avoid data loss near the
232 system crashes. It makes the new behavior optional, with the
233 default off. See: http://bugs.gnu.org/22768
234 * NEWS, doc/gzip.texi (Sample, Invoking gzip), gunzip.in (usage):
235 * gzip.1, zcat.in (usage):
237 * gzip.c (synchronous): New static var.
238 (SYNCHRONOUS_OPTION): New constant.
239 (longopts, help, main, treat_file): Add support for --synchronous.
241 gzip: use constants, not fileno
242 * gzip.c (main, treat_stdin, treat_file, get_method)
243 (check_ofname): Prefer STDIN_FILENO to fileno (stdin),
244 and similarly for STDOUT_FILENO.
246 gzip: fdatasync output dir before unlinking
247 This follows up on the earlier patch to avoid data loss near
248 the system crashes. See: http://bugs.gnu.org/22768
249 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add dirname-lgpl, fdatasync,
250 openat-safer, unistd-safer, unlinkat.
251 * gzip.c: Include stddef.h, dirname.h.
252 Include fcntl--.h instead of fcntl-safer.h.
253 (RW_USER): Remove; no longer needed.
254 (dfname, dfd): New static vars.
255 (dot): New static const.
256 (atdir_eq, atdir_set): New functions.

258 (treat_file, create_outfile, open_and_stat):
259 Use dir fd for unlinkat and openat, if possible.
260 (open_and_stat): Omit mode argument, since it was always the
261 same. All callers changed.
262 * lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore: Add new gnulib files.
263 * tailor.h (PROTO, NO_STDIN_FSTAT, OPEN): Remove. Remove MACOS
264 section, as this stuff would not work anyway now, and circa 2001
265 Apple stopped supporting Mac OS 9 and earlier.
266 * zip.c: Do not include unistd.h and fcntl.h, as this file does
267 not directly use any symbols defined by those headers.

462 This doesn't fix bug 16951 entirely, as 'less' needs to be changed
463 too, but it's a start.

484 That way, we avoid the need for set -C

486 Use touch -r and chmod --reference rather than cpmod.
487 Assume cp -p works, as it's now universal.
488 Quote 'echo' args better, while we're at it.

765 Problem reported for Solaris 9 by Daniel in
766 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2012-06/msg00007.html>.
767 Rather than figure out what exactly went wrong in Solaris 9
768 it was easier to rip out all the buggy compatibility and stty cruft.
769 * zmore.in: Don't use stty or trap; simply pipe the output to 'more'
770 and let it deal with signals and terminal control.
771 Use printf, not 'echo', to avoid problems with backslashes.
772 Don't assume ANS is not 's' in the environment.
773 Use a 'more'-style header instead of rolling our own style.
774 Paginate the header, too; the old behavior lost the header.

1041 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Move lzw.h and gzip.h from here to ...
1042 (noinst_HEADERS): ...here.
1043 For convenience, since the tight-scope rule uses $(noinst_HEADERS).

1067 maint: stop using .x-sc_* files to list syntax-check exemptions
1068 Instead, use the new mechanism with which you merely use a
1069 variable (derived from the rule name) defined in cfg.mk to an ERE
1070 matching the exempted file names.
1071 * gnulib: Update to latest, to get maint.mk that implements this.

1074 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Likewise.

1078 2011-03-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1080 doc: correct README-release
1081 * README-release: Remove mention of -announce mailing list.
1082 Unlike coreutils, gzip does not have its own.
1084 doc: update release procedure
1085 * README-release: Resync from coreutils' file by the same name.
1087 2011-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1089 maint: update copyright year ranges to include 2011

1094 maint: avoid failure of new test for bindtextdomain
1095 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add sc_bindtextdomain.

1099 maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failure due to old-NEWS modification

1102 2010-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1104 * NEWS: The "gzip -f foo.gz" change occurred in 1.3.13, not 1.3.12
1106 2010-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1108 zgrep: don't assume traditional behavior with signal numbers
1109 * zgrep.in: Don't assume the exit status is the signal number plus
1110 128, as POSIX doesn't require this. No need to kill self; exiting
1111 with large status is enough. Propagate all exit statuses greater
1112 than 1, not merely those in the range 129..143, as there's no need
1113 to treat that range specially (and it's not portable anyway).
1115 2010-11-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 zgrep: fix shell portability bug with -f; fix mishandling of "-e -"
1118 * tests/zgrep-f: Check for "zgrep -e -" bug, too.
1119 * zgrep.in: Don't assume that if the shell redirects fd 6, then
1120 this redirection is visible to the subsidiary grep. POSIX doesn't
1121 guarantee this visibility except for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2,
1122 and ksh does not support it. Problem reported by Thomas Schulz in
1123 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-11/msg00000.html>.
1124 Also, fix a related bug: "-e -" was mishandled. These two bugs
1125 were introduced by commit 5b54db4546b84ec97ff57a62f8ddb98faacf77f2
1127 (escape): Change the convention: do not assume that a stray X
1128 is present at the end of the last line. All uses changed.
1129 There was no longer any need for this convention, and fixing this
1130 made it a bit easier to use 'sed' in a later part of the fix.
1132 2010-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1134 maint: fix copyright dates that were munged by a maintenance script
1135 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
1136 * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
1137 A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
1138 scripts. It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
1139 2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
1140 and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
1141 Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
1142 Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
1143 typically put ranges into version messages. Fix all this stuff by
1144 hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
1145 a bit more accurate than script-generated dates). We need to fix
1146 the script before it runs in 2011.

1214 Also, remove the crypto stuff, which never worked.
1215 Inspired by that same suggestion of Greg Roelofs.
1217 gzip: Use 0x%04x instead of %x when printing 16-bit checksums

1247 * gzip.c (discard_input_bytes): New function.

1249 but other programs may.
1250 * gzip.h (HEADER_CRC): Renamed from CONTINUATION. All uses changed.
1251 * tailor.h [defined __50SERIES]: Remove PRIMOS stuff that was obsolete
1252 anyway and would have made this patch harder to maintain.
1253 (get_char, put_char): Remove.

1305 tests: pull help-version from grep
1307 build: keep --version strictly up to date
1308 Before this change, in development, gzip's --version output could lag
1309 behind reality by a couple deltas or by a "-dirty" suffix. That would
1310 lead to spurious failure of the new --version-$VERSION PATH cross-check.

1377 -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk
1378 and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
1379 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
1380 * msdos/tailor.c (fcalloc): Mark a diagnostic for translation, to
1381 placate stricter syntax-check, even though no one uses this file.
1383 use assembly code matcher when possible
1384 * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Backslash-escape "#" in AC_SUBST'd
1385 variable, to keep make from seeing it as a comment-introducer.
1386 Based on a patch by Petr Pisar.
1387 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at.
1388 * lib/match.c: Don't include <config.h>.
1389 It would impede configure-time assembler test.
1390 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt lib/match.c from syntax-check.
1391 * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: Likewise.

1398 This matters at least on Cygwin 1.7.1-1, for which a stdin-pipe has
1399 the mtime of /dev/null, rather than the gzip-documented-for-pipes

1410 Otherwise, "gzip -d -S '' F.gz" would ask if it's ok to remove the
1411 existing file, "F.gz"; if you reply "yes", you'd lose all of that data.
1412 Use of an empty suffix was already rejected in compression mode.

1455 gzip -cdf now handles concatenation of gzip'd and uncompressed data
1456 * util.c (copy): Change semantics so as to honor a decremented inptr.

1458 than clearing it -- and output the first magic byte.
1460 2010-02-03 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1462 zgrep: terminate gracefully when a pipeline is interrupted by a signal

1466 continues working long after the "head" process completes.
1467 Another example, a command like
1468 zgrep unmatched-pattern /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
1469 cannot be interrupted by sending a SIGQUIT with Ctrl-\ key, it outputs
1470 zgrep: line 221: test: : integer expression expected

1512 tests: move the hufts-segv test to its own file
1513 * tests/hufts: New test.
1514 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/
1515 (check-local): Remove the hufts-segv test from this rule.
1517 tests: begin moving tests into their own files
1518 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tests/stdin.
1519 (check-local): Move the stdin check to its own file:
1520 * tests/stdin: New script.
1522 tests: remove unnecessary use of "path_prepend_ ."
1523 It is unnecessary, since Makefile.am's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT setting
1524 already adds the top build directory, and besides, is only
1525 marginally useful when running stand-alone, since it presumes
1526 that the script is being run from the top build directory.
1527 * tests/helin-segv: Remove unnecessary use of path_prepend_.
1528 * tests/memcpy-abuse: Likewise.
1529 * tests/trailing-nul: Likewise.
1530 * tests/zdiff: Likewise.
1531 * tests/zgrep-f: Likewise.
1533 tests: note that znew-k test depends on length of temp file name
1534 * tests/znew-k: Tweak diagnostic, factor and add a surprising comment.
1536 2010-02-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

1544 * znew.1: Document it.
1545 * tests/znew-k: New test.
1546 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1548 2010-01-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1550 maint: update README-release procedure
1551 * README-release: sync from coreutils.
1553 post-release administrivia
1554 * NEWS: Add header line for next release.
1555 * .prev-version: Record previous version.
1556 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
1559 * NEWS: Record release date.
1561 tests: exercise the segfault fix
1562 * tests/helin-segv: New test.
1563 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1565 gzip -d: do not clobber stack for valid input on x86_64
1566 * unlzw.c (unlzw): Avoid integer overflow.
1567 Aki Helin reported the segfault along with an input to trigger the bug.
1568 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
1570 maint: avoid a minor "make syntax-check" failure
1571 * .x-sc_file_system: Exempt NEWS, since it includes a literal
1572 from an old diagnostic.
1574 maint: remove unused file: README-alpha
1575 * README-alpha: Remove unused file.
1577 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
1579 2010-01-11 Yuxi Zhang <YZhang@qnx.com>
1581 gzip -d: use memcpy more often
1582 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Use memcpy (rather than slower
1583 memcopy-like code) in more cases.
1585 2010-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1587 build: do not override gnulib-provided AM_CFLAGS options
1588 Avoid a warning from automake:
1589 lib/Makefile.am:24: AM_CFLAGS multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
1590 lib/gnulib.mk:30: ... `AM_CFLAGS' previously defined here
1591 lib/Makefile.am:20: `lib/gnulib.mk' included from here
1593 * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Append $(WARN_CFLAGS) and
1594 $(WERROR_CFLAGS), i.e., use "+=", not "=".
1595 This was introduced via 2009-12-17 commit 0341fc22,
1596 "build: with --enable-gcc-warnings, use -Werror",
1597 but fortunately is not a bug, because the definition
1598 it would have overridden was always empty.
1600 2010-01-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1602 gzip -d would fail with a CRC error...
1603 ...for some inputs, and some memcpy implementations. It is possible
1604 that an offending input has to be compressed "from FAT filesystem
1605 (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)", since the sole reproducer no longer evokes a
1606 CRC error when uncompressed and recompressed on a GNU/Linux system.
1607 Also, using an unpatched reverse-memcpy-gzip on over 100,000 inputs
1608 on a GNU/Linux system did not turn up another reproducer.
1609 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Don't call memcpy with overlapping regions.
1610 Properly detect when source and destination overlap.
1611 * tests/memcpy-abuse: New test, to trigger misbehavior.
1612 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1613 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

1690 * deflate.c (EQUAL): Remove definition. Use "0" at sole point of use.
1692 build: util.c: avoid warnings about add_envopt
1693 * util.c (add_envopt): The parameter "env" was used for two conflicting
1694 purposes. One use required a const char* parameter, while the other
1695 was used as an argument to free, which must not be "const".
1696 Rename the parameter and use a new local variable for the second role.
1698 build: avoid many const-related warnings
1699 * gzip.c: Add "const" to many variables, to avoid compiler warnings.
1700 * util.c (add_envopt): Make 3rd parameter const

1789 zgrep: portability improvements; exercise "-f -"

1791 Fail if we don't find a free file descriptor.
1792 (exists): New function; Use it in place of less portable "test -e".
1793 Testing for existence of /dev/fd/$fd doesn't work on Solaris 10,
1794 since all 256 always exist (as char devices), but testing for
1795 /proc/$$/fd/$fd does work, so do that instead.

1803 Before this change, echo needle|zgrep -f - haystack.gz would not work.
1804 * zgrep.in: When the pattern comes from stdin, redirect it to a
1805 different file descriptor, since we're about to use stdin.
