+ fchmodat.c, fchownat.c: compile-impeding typos
+ * lib/fchmodat.c (FCHMODAT_INLINE): Fix typo: s/#include/#define/
+ * lib/fchownat.c (FCHOWNAT_INLINE): Likewise.
+ Introduced in commit v0.0-7636-gd202279.
+
+2012-10-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ fcntl-h: support GNU flags like O_IGNORE_CTTY
+ * doc/posix-headers/fcntl.texi (fcntl.h): Support O_IGNORE_CTTY,
+ O_NOLINK, and O_NOTRANS. These flags are nonzero on GNU/Hurd
+ systems. Discovered when using fcntl-h with GNU Emacs, which uses
+ O_IGNORE_CTTY. Fix misspelling of F_SETLKW.
+ * lib/fcntl.in.h (O_IGNORE_CTTY, O_NOLINK, O_NOTRANS):
+ Define to 0 if not already defined.
+ * tests/test-fcntl-h.c: Test these new flags.
+
+2012-10-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ faccessat, etc.: support AT_FDCWD-only use
+ * lib/at-func.c: If GNULIB_SUPPORT_ONLY_AT_FDCWD, then support
+ this function only if its first argument is AT_FDCWD.
+ Emacs wants faccessat for AT_EACCESS but not for any first-arg
+ values other than AT_FDCWD, so it doesn't want all the openat
+ machinery with fchdir etc.
+ * modules/faccessat, modules/fchmodat, modules/fchownat (Files):
+ * modules/fstatat, modules/mkdirat, modules/openat (Files):
+ * modules/unlinkat (Files):
+ Remove lib/openat-priv.h, as at-internal supplies this file.
+ Removing this file here allows us to support programs like Emacs
+ that avoid at-internal.
+
+ faccessat: speed up 'configure' on mainstream hosts
+ * m4/faccessat.m4 (gl_PREREQ_FACCESSAT):
+ Use AT_CHECK_FUNCS for 'access', not AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE,
+ since it's only on unusual platforms that we need to check for
+ 'access', and it's better not to slow 'configure' down on all
+ platforms.
+
+ faccessat: port to Solaris 10
+ * lib/faccessat.c: Include <fcntl.h>, for AT_EACCESS.
+ Needed on Solaris 10, which doesn't have AT_EACCESS,
+ so we need the Gnulib fcntl.h, which defines it.
+
+2012-10-14 Pádraig Brady <P@draigBrady.com>
+ canonicalize: fix C89 compilation
+ * lib/canonicalize.c (canonicalize_filename_mode): Swap order of

+ referencing memorty allocation as the suggested feature could
+ not be implemented as suggested.
+ Reported by Michael Goffioul.
+
+2012-10-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ group-member: omit unnecessary dependencies
+ This is for Emacs, which has its own allocator and where we
+ don't want to use xalloc.
+ * lib/group-member.c: Include xalloc-oversized.h, not xalloc.h,
+ since we no longer use xmalloc. Do not include stdbool.h, since
+ the changes below happen to remove the only use of bool.
+ (GROUPBUF_SIZE): New constant.
+ (struct group_info): Remove n_groups member. Add groupbuf member.
+ This lets us get the groups without using malloc, usually.
+ (free_group_info, get_group_info): Adjust to this.
+ (get_group_info): Return the number of groups found, or -1 on error.
+ Use plain malloc not xmalloc, and treat its failure as if there
+ are no groups, as the user already loses in case of error.
+ (group_member): Simplify, based on changes to get_group_info.
+ * modules/group-member (Depends-on): Remove dependencies on
+ xalloc and stdbool. Add dependency on xalloc-oversized.

+ * top/maint.mk (_equal): New function.

+ (announcement_Cc_alpha,announcement_mail_headers_alpha)
+ (announcement_Cc_beta,announcement_mail_headers_beta)
+ (announcement_Cc_stable,announcement_mail_headers_stable): these.

+ See

+ Do not depend simply on the current $(VERSION), as there may have been
+ new commits since the tarball generation. Rather, rely on $(RELEASE),
+ as "make release-commit" already does.
+
+ For consistency, add "make release RELEASE='X.Y TYPE'" as an alias for
+ "make TYPE".
+
+ * top/maint.mk (upload_command, upload, release): New.
+ (RELEASE_TYPE): If undefined, default to the second word of $(RELEASE).
+ (VERSION): first word of $(RELEASE) is always right.
+ (emit_upload_commands): Adjust.
+ * top/README-release: Update.

+ fts: reduce two or more trailing spaces to just one, usually
+ * lib/fts.c (fts_open): Upon initialization, if a name ends in two

+ This is part of the solution to a minor problem with rm:

+
+ $ mkdir d && ln -s d s && env rm -r s/
+ rm: cannot remove 's': Too many levels of symbolic links

+
+ doc: remove fdl-1.2.texi
+ It is no longer used or maintained, and its use of @acronym
+ is problematic. See the thread containing
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00134.html>.
+ * config/srclist.txt: Remove doc/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.texi.
+ * doc/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.texi: Remove.
+
+ execinfo: port to FreeBSD
+ * m4/execinfo.m4 (gl_EXECINFO_H): Set LIB_EXECINFO to -lexecinfo
+ if needed, as in FreeBSD. Reported by Bastien Roucariès in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00113.html>.
+ * modules/execinfo (Link): Add $(LIB_EXECINFO).

+
+ xstrtol.h: avoid "_Noreturn is not at beginning of declaration" warning
+ * lib/xstrtol.h: Put "_Noreturn" before "void" in declaration,
+ to placate gcc's -Wold-style-declaration.

+ stdnoreturn: port to newer GCCs
+ * m4/stdnoreturn.m4 (gl_STDNORETURN_H): Avoid problems with
+ bleeding-edge GCC that complains about 'int _Noreturn foo (void);'.
+ Problem reported by Jim Meyering in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00121.html>.
+ Also, rename the 'test' function to a void a clash with the
+ already-supplied 'main' function; this fixes a bug that incorrectly
+ rejected GCC 4.7.1's <stdnoreturn.h>.

+ execinfo: new module
+ This is for Emacs. Currently, it provides a no-effect stub

+
+ extern-inline: support old GCC 'inline'
+ * m4/extern-inline.m4 (gl_EXTERN_INLINE): Use pre-C99 GCC 'inline'
+ if available. This applies to GCC versions 2.7 through 4.2, or
+ when newer GCC is using -fgnu89-inline. The goal is to address
+ some of the performance issues mentioned by Bruno Haible in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-08/msg00097.html>.

+
+2012-08-02 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ gnumakefile: better interaction with Automake-NG
+ * modules/gnumakefile [Makefile.am]: The makefiles generated by
+ Automake-NG always contain a definition of VPATH, even in non-VPATH
+ builds (its value being simply '.' in that case). So, in the
+ 'clean-GNUmakefile' rule, to determine whether running under a
+ VPATH setup, compare '$(srcdir)' to '.' rather than checking whether
+ '$(VPATH)' expands to the empty string.
+
+2012-08-02 Carlo de Falco <carlo.defalco@polimi.it> (tiny change)
+
+ base64: Use extern C scope in header file, for C++.
+ * lib/base64.h: Add C++ namespace protection.
+
+2012-08-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ stat-time, timespec, u64: support naive out-of-dir builds
+ * lib/stat-time.c, lib/timespec.c, lib/u64.c:
+ Use '#include "foo.h"', not '#include <foo.h>', when including
+ one's own interface. This works better when configuring with
+ out-of-directory builds, since packages need not add an
+ otherwise-unnecessary -I$(topdir_src)/lib to DEFAULT_INCLUDES.
+
+2012-08-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ utimens: use extern-inline
+ * lib/utimens.c (_GL_UTIMENS_INLINE): Define when including utimens.h.
+ * lib/utimens.h: Add copyright notice, since this is now large enough
+ to copyright. Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
+ (_GL_UTIMENS_INLINE): New macro. Use it instead of 'static inline'.
+ * modules/utimens (Depends-on): Add extern-inline.
+
+ u64: use extern-inline
+ * lib/u64.c: New file.
+ * lib/u64.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
+ (_GL_U64_INLINE): New macro. Use it instead of 'static inline'.
+ * modules/u64 (Files): Add lib/u64.c.
+ (Depends-on): Add extern-inline.
+ (configure.ac): No need to require AC_C_INLINE, since extern-inline
+ does that now.
+ (lib_SOURCES): Add u64.c.
+
+ timespec: use extern-inline
+ * lib/timespec.c: New file.
+ * lib/timespec.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
+ (_GL_TIMESPEC_INLINE): New macro. Use it instead of 'static inline'.
+ * modules/timespec (Files): Add lib/timespec.c.
+ (Depends-on): Add extern-inline.
+ (lib_SOURCES): Add timespec.c.
+
+ stat-time: use extern-inline
+ * lib/stat-time.c: New file.
+ * lib/stat-time.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
+ (_GL_STAT_TIME_INLINE): New macro. Use it instead of 'static inline'.
+ * modules/stat-time (Files): Add lib/stat-time.c.
+ (Depends-on): Add extern-inline.
+ (lib_SOURCES): Add stat-time.c.
+
+ extern-inline: new module
+ * modules/extern-inline, m4/extern-inline.m4: New files.
+ This is for better support of 'extern inline' a la ISO C99,
+ with a portable alternative on compilers that do not support
+ C99-style 'extern inline'. Using 'extern inline' shrinks the size
+ of the Emacs executable, when compiled with debugging disabled,
+ which is a typical way that Emacs is built while developing.
