With today’s compilers ‘inline’ is typically not needed for
performance (at least the way GNU Tar uses it) and it gets in the
way of portability.
* configure.ac: Omit AC_C_INLINE; no longer needed here.
* lib/attr-xattr.in.h (setxattr, lsetxattr, fsetxattr, getxattr)
(lgetxattr, fgetxattr, listxattr, llistxattr, flistxattr):
* lib/wordsplit.c (skip_delim_internal, skip_delim)
(skip_delim_real, exptab_matches):
* src/delete.c (flush_file):
* src/extract.c (safe_dir_mode):
* src/misc.c (ptr_align):
Now just static, not static inline.
* lib/wordsplit.h (wordsplit_getwords): Remove; no longer used.
* src/common.h (name_more_files): Now COMMON_INLINE, not
extern inline - which is not portable according to C99,
the way we were using it.
This can be helpful in porting to compilers like Oracle Developer
Studio that support some but not all GCC attributes.
* lib/wordsplit.c (FALLTHROUGH): Remove; now done by attribute.h.
* lib/wordsplit.h (__WORDSPLIT_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT): Remove;
all uses replaced by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT.
* lib/wordsplit.h, src/buffer.c, src/common.h, src/compare.c:
* src/sparse.c, src/system.c, src/xheader.c:
Prefer ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT, MAYBE_UNUSED, _Noreturn, etc. to
__attribute__.
Fedora 33 uses GCC 10.2.1, which is a bit pickier.
* configure.ac: Do not use -Wsystem-headers, as this
runs afoul of netdb.h on Fedora 33.
* gnulib.modules: Add ‘attribute’.
* lib/wordsplit.c (wsnode_new): Return the newly allocated
pointer instead of a boolean, to pacify GCC 10.2.1 which otherwise
complains about use of possibly-null pointers. All uses changed.
* src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Don’t assume find_next_block succeeds.
(_write_volume_label): Pacify GCC 10.2.1 with an ‘assume’, since
LABEL must be nonnull here.
* src/common.h (FALLTHROUGH): Remove; now in attribute.h.
Include attribute.h, for ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL.
* src/misc.c (assign_string_or_null): New function,
taking over the old role of assign_string.
(assign_string): Assume VALUE is non-null.
(assign_null): New function, taking over the old
role of assign_string when its VALUE was nonnull.
All callers of assign_string changed to use these functions.
(assign_string_n): Clear *STRING if VALUE is null,
to fix a potential double-free.
* lib/wordsplit.c (struct wordsplit_node.flags):
Now unsigned, so that 'printf ("%x", p->flags)' doesn't provoke GCC.
* src/incremen.c (read_num, dumpdir_ok):
Don't printf an int with %x or %o.
Any option taking a command name as its argument accepts
additional arguments as well.
* lib/wordsplit.c: New file.
* lib/wordsplit.h: New file.
* lib/Makefile.am: Add new files.
* src/system.c (xexec): New function.
(run_decompress_program): Use wordsplit.
(sys_child_open_for_compress,sys_exec_command)
(sys_exec_info_script)
(sys_exec_checkpoint_script): Use xexec to invoke external
command.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/tar.texi: Update.
