* configure.ac: Omit stuff no longer needed now that Gnulib or
paxlib does it, or the code no longer needs the configure-time checks.
Do not use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE (Gnulib largefile does this) or check
for fcntl.h, memory.h, net/errno.h, sgtty.h, string.h,
sys/param.h, sys/device.h, sys/gentape.h, sys/inet.h,
sys/io/trioctl.h, sys/time.h, sys/tprintf.h, sys/tape.h, unistd.h,
locale.h, netdb.h; these are all now standard, or old ways of getting
at magtapes are no longer needed and we now have only sys/mtio.h.
Do not check for lstat, readlink, symlink, and check only for
waitpid’s existence rather than attempting to replace it.
Do not check for decls of getgrgid, getpwuid, or time.
Check just once for iconv.h.
* gnulib.modules: Add largefile.
* lib/.gitignore, lib/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS, libtar_a_SOURCES):
Remove system-ioctl.h, which is no longer in paxlib.
All includes now changed to just check HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H directly.
* lib/wordsplit.c (wordsplit_c_escape_tab, wordsplit_errstr)
(wordsplit_nerrs):
Now static or an enum, and without any leading "_" in the name.
* src/buffer.c (record_start, record_end, current_block, records_read):
* src/delete.c (records_skipped): Add extern decl to pacify GCC.
* src/compare.c, src/create.c, src/extract.c: Omit uses of
HAVE_READLINK and HAVE_SYMLINK since we now let Gnulib deal with
platforms lacking readlinkat and symlinkat.
* src/system.c: Use "#if !HAVE_WAITPID" instead of "#if MSDOS".
update submodules to latest
* gnulib.modules: Add c-ctype.
* lib/wordsplit.c, src/buffer.c, src/exclist.c, src/incremen.c:
* src/list.c, src/misc.c, src/names.c, src/sparse.c, src/tar.c:
* src/xheader.c:
Include c-ctype.h, and use its API rather than ctype.h’s.
This is more likely to work when oddball locales are used.
* src/transform.c: Include ctype.h, since this module still uses
tolower and toupper (this is probably wrong - should be multi-byte).
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.
