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__.
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.
