This + means that bootstrap must already be run using a proper POSIX shell, + which will thus provide more features, like ${var#pattern} parameter + expansion or inversion of a command exit status with '!'. We can + thus use these features to improve the clarity and the performances + of the bootstrap script. + + Suggested by Eric Blake. + + * build-aux/bootstrap: Prefer xpg4 parameter expansions over use + of sed/expr plus command substitutions, to save some forks. While + we are at it, prefer the POSIX $(...) form of command substitution, + rather than the legacy form `...` (since the former is visually + clearer and interacts better with quoting), and prefer the idiom: + "if ! CMD; then ACTION ..." + over the idiom: + "if CMD; then :; else ACTION ..." + which was required by legacy Bourne shells not supporting '!'. + +2012-05-12 Bruno Haible + + system-quote: Add more comments. + * lib/system-quote.h: Add more comments about wilcards and limitations. + Suggested by Eli Zaretskii . + + sh-quote, system-quote: Add comments about wildcards. + * lib/sh-quote.h: Clarify what happens with wildcard characters. + * lib/system-quote.h: Likewise. + Reported by Eli Zaretskii . + +2012-05-11 Paul Eggert + + fsusage: check for GNU/Linux statvfs problem dynamically + * lib/fsusage.c [STAT_STATVFS && __linux__ && (__GLIBC__||__UCLIBC__)]: + Define STAT_STATFS2_BSIZE too, since in this case the code now + checks dynamically whether statvfs is reliable, falling back on + Linux-style statfs otherwise. + (statvfs_works): New function, for dynamically testing statvfs. + (get_fs_usage) [STAT_STATVFS]: Use it. + * m4/fsusage.m4 (gl_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Remove static check for + statvfs on GNU/Linux hosts, since it's now done dynamically. + +2012-05-10 Bruno Haible + + system-quote, execute, spawn-pipe: Escape '?' on Windows. + * lib/system-quote.c (SHELL_SPECIAL_CHARS, CMD_SPECIAL_CHARS): Add the + '?' character. + * lib/w32spawn.h (SHELL_SPECIAL_CHARS): Likewise. + * tests/test-system-quote-main.c (check_all): Check also strings like + "??????????". + Reported by Eli Zaretskii . + +2012-05-10 Paul Eggert + + _Noreturn: port config.h to gcc -Wundef + * m4/gnulib-common.m4 (gl_COMMON_BODY): Check that __STDC_VERSION__ is + defined before using it, for gcc -Wundef.
