+ ignore-value: port to gcc -pedantic
+ * lib/ignore-value.h (ignore_value):
+ Port to gcc -pedantic, by using __extension__.
+ Reindent as per usual gnulib style nowadays.
+ Simplify GCC version check.

+
+ extern-inline: port to gcc -std=c89
+ * m4/extern-inline.m4 (gl_EXTERN_INLINE):
+ Do not use __gnu_inline__ if pedantic and pre-C99.

+
+ doc: document extern-inline
+ * doc/extern-inline.texi: New file.
+ * doc/gnulib.texi (alloca-opt): Include it.
+ * m4/extern-inline.m4: Move some comments to documentation,
+ and others closer to what they describe.
+
+ doc: chatter less
+ * doc/Makefile (NEWEST_GNULIB_TEXI_FILE): New macro.
+ (updated-stamp): Use it. This causes 'make' to output just
+ one file name rather than zillions.
+
+ fflush, fseeko: port to musl cross-compiles
+ * lib/fseeko.c (fseeko): Assume that fflushing stdin works if
+ on some implementation that (1) is not known to be buggy,
+ (2) claims conformance to POSIX.1-2008 or later, and (3) is being
+ cross-compiled to so we can't easily check for lack of
+ conformance. This is for cross-compiling to musl.

+ * m4/fclose.m4 (gl_FUNC_FCLOSE):
+ * m4/fflush.m4 (gl_FUNC_FFLUSH):
+ * m4/fseeko.m4 (gl_FUNC_FSEEKO):
+ Adjust to above change.
+ * m4/fflush.m4 (gl_FUNC_FFLUSH_STDIN): Set gl_cv_func_fflush_stdin
+ to 'cross', not to 'no', when cross-compiling. AC_DEFINE
+ FUNC_FFLUSH_STDIN to 1, 0, -1 if fflushing stdin is known to work,
+ known not to work, or unknown.

+ tests/nap.h: use an adaptive delay to avoid ctime update issues
+ The recent change in nap.h (5191133e) decreased the probability of lost
+ races to about a third, however such problems could still be observed
+ in virtual machines and openSUSE's OBS.
+ Before, nap() detected the needed time once empirically and then used
+ that delay (together with a small correction multiplier) in further
+ calls. This problem has been reported and discussed several times,
+ including guesses about possible kernel issues:
+ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2013-04/msg00071.html
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-03/msg00088.html
+ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-11/msg00226.html
+ http://bugs.gnu.org/12820
+ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-11/msg00113.html
+ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-11/msg00007.html
+ Now, nap() avoids the race alltogether by verifying on a reference
+ file whether a timestamp difference has happened.
+ * tests/nap.h (nap_fd): Define file descriptor variable for the
+ witness file.
+ (nap_works): Change return value to bool. Change passing
+ the old file's status by value instead of by reference as this function
+ does no longer update that timestamp; rename the function argument from
+ st to old_st. Remove the local variables cdiff and mdiff because that
+ function now returns true/false instead of the precise delay.
+ (guess_delay): Remove function.
+ (clear_tmp_file): Add new function to close and unlink the witness file.
+ (nap): Instead of re-using the delay which has been calculated during
+ the first call, avoid the race by actually verifying that a timestamp
+ difference can be observed on the current file system. Use an adaptive
+ approach for the delay to minimize execution time. Assert that the
+ maximum delay is <= ~2 seconds, more precisely sum(2^n) from 0 to 30
+ = 2^31 - 1 = 2.1s.
+ Use atexit to call clear_tmp_file when the process terminates.
