* maint: update all copyright year number rangesPádraig Brady2023-01-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year. Run "make update-copyright" and then... * tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year. * bootstrap: Manually update copyright year, until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage. * tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* doc: README: split out ancillary informationPádraig Brady2022-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The README was becoming too long and contained quite a bit of info only pertaining to rarely used systems, so... * README: Split out install specific info to README-install. Also remove a few stale lines, and reorder a few items. * README-install: A new file split from README. * Makefile.am [EXTRA_DIST]: Explicitly reference new README-install file for distribution, since automake only auto adds README. * TODO: Reference the HPUX info now in README-install.

* expr: support arbitrary-precision arithmeticJames Youngman2008-08-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * src/Makefile.am (expr_LDADD): Link expr against GNU MP. * doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Describe --bignum, --no-bignum. Explain the new arbitrary-precision functionality. * NEWS: Indicate that arbitrary-precision arithmetic is now supported in expr. * src/expr.c (enum valtype): Added mp_integer, signifying a GNU MP number. (usage): Document the new options --bignum and --no-bignum which force and prohibit the use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic, respectively. (long_options): data structure for getopt_long, which we need to use to parse the options mentioned above. (main): parse these options with getopt_long instead of parse_long_options. (valinfo): Downgrade the numeric member of the union from intmax_t to signed long, since MP lacks functions for promoting an intmax_t to an arbitrary-precision quantity. (enum arithmetic_mode): Represents the current choice between --bignum, --no-bignum and the default (automatically switch from one to the other if needed). (integer_overflow): issue a more explicit error message indicating that MP is not available. (string_too_long): new function, emits a fatal error message for the case where an argument to the 'index' expression is too long for a string offset to be represented. (int_value): With --bignum, create the value as mp_integer rather than plain integer. (substr_value): factored out of eval6; implements "substr". (freev): also destroy mp_integer values. Check that no mp_integer values exist if --no-bignum was specified. (printv, null, tostring): support mp_integer. (toint): new funtion for converting from string or mp_integer to integer. (getsize): extracts a size_t value from a VALUE object; used to implement substr. (promote): promotes a value from integer to mp_integer. (domult, dodivide): functions for multiplication and division, factored out of eval4. (doadd): addition/subraction function, factpred out of eval3. (eval3): support mp_integer types; call doadd. (eval4): support mp_integer types; call domult, dodivide. (eval6): support mp_integer offsets and lengths for "substr" and "index". * TODO: Mention that expr supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and suggest that this might also be a good idea for seq. * AUTHORS (expr): Add James Youngman.
* Document uptime.James Youngman2008-08-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | * doc/coreutils.texi (uptime invocation): document uptime. * TODO: uptime is documented now. * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Use fprintftime to print the time, rather than printf. This should make the situation better for translations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * m4/gmp.m4: New file; adds cu_GMP, which detects GNU MP. * configure.ac: Use cu_GMP. * src/Makefile.am: Link factor against libgmp if available. * src/factor.c: Use GNU MP if it is available. (emit_factor, emit_ul_factor, factor_using_division, factor_using_pollard_rho, extract_factors_multi, sort_and_print_factors, free_factors): new functions for the arbitrary-precision implementation, taken from an example in GNU MP. (factor_wheel): Renamed; was called factor. (print_factors_single): Renamed; was called print_factors. (print_factors): New function, chooses between the single- and arbitrary-precision algorithms according to availability of GNU MP and the length of the number to be factored. (usage, main): New options --bignum and --no-bignum. * coreutils.texi (factor invocation): Document new command-line options for the MP implementation and update the performance numbers to take into account the asymptotically faster algorithm. * TODO: Remove item about factoring large primes (it's done). * m4/gmp.m4: Add support for --without-gmp. * NEWS: Mention the new feature.
