+
+2007-12-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+2007-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Break out diffseq.h into a separate file, so that gettext can use

+
+2007-07-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ Problem and fix reported by Daniel Hipschman.
+
+2006-11-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ for MVS 3.8.
+ * configure.ac (sigblock): Check whether this function is

+ (sigprocmask): Don't dump core if O is null.
+
+2006-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/sdiff.c (sigprocmask) [! HAVE_SIGPROCMASK]: Cast 2nd arg to

+ Paul Edwards for MVS 3.8.
+
+2006-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: diff -u no longer outputs trailing white space unless the
+ input data has it. Suggested by Jim Meyering.

+ * src/context.c (pr_unidiff_hunk): Implement this.
+
+ Modernize bootstrap procedure to match current gnulib.
+ * bootstrap: Sync with coreutils bootstrap, except check that
+ the directory build-aux exists before trying to copy to it.
+ * bootstrap.conf: New file.
+ (gnulib_modules): Add config-h, dup2, extensions, fcntl, fdl,
+ stat-macros, unistd.
+ * configure.ac: Invoke gl_EARLY and gl_INIT rather than
+ GNULIB_AUTOCONF_SNIPPET.
+ (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Rename config.h to lib/config.h.
+ (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE): Don't check for fcntl.h, locale.h,
+ sys/file.h, unistd.h. We now use the fcntl and unistd modules,
+ and locale.h can be assumed for any C89 compiler.
+ (DIFFUTILS_PREREQUISITES): Remove. No longer needed now that
+ we use the stdint module.
+ (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Remove dup2, which is no longer needed
+ now that we use the dup2 module.
+ (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Use need-formatstring-macros, and ...
+ (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): specify version 0.15 instead of 0.14.5,
+ to be consistent with coreutils.
+ * lib/Makefile.am (noinst_LIBRARIES):
+ (lib_SOURCES, libdiffutils_a_LIBADD):
+ (libdiffutils_a_DEPENDENCIES, BUILT_SOURCES, EXTRA_DIST):
+ (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Remove; now computed automatically.
+ (noinst_HEADERS, libdiffutils_a_SOURCES): Just append
+ our special files now.
+ * lib/cmpbuf.c: Include config.h unconditionally, since we
+ no longer define HAVE_CONFIG_H.
+ * lib/prepargs.c: Likewise.
+ * src/Makefile.am (LDADD): Use $(LIBINTL), not @LIBINTL@.
+ (diff_LDADD): Use $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME), not @LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME@.
+ * src/dir.c (dir_read): Use _D_EXACT_NAMLEN, not NAMELEN.
+ * src/system.h (volatile): Remove, since we assume C89 or better.
+ Include stat-macros.h.
+ (S_IRWXU, S_IRWXG, S_IRWXO, S_IRUSR, S_IWUSR):
+ Remove, since we now use stat-macros.h.
+ (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR): Remove, since we assume C89 or better.
+ Include unistd.h unconditionally, since we use unistd.
+ Likewise for fcntl.h.
+ (dup2): Remove, since we now use dup2.
+ (O_RDONLY, O_RWDR, O_BINARY): Remove, since we now use
+ fcntl.
+ Include dirent.h unconditionally.
+ (NAMLEN): Remove, replacing with....
+ (_D_EXACT_NAMLEN): New macro.
+ Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
+ (PTRDIFF_MAX, SIZE_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX, strtoumax): Remove, since

+
+2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/context.c (print_context_function): Do not print
+ trailing white space in a context header.
+
+2006-05-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/cmp.c (cmp): The previous fix wasn't quite right either, as
+ it mishandled 'cmp A B >/dev/null' when A is shorter than B and
+ differs before A's end-of-file, by outputting a bogus EOF message.
+ Also, it was inefficient if A and B were large.
+
+2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
+
+ Fix bug introduced in 2006-03-09 change:
+ cmp always exits successfully, when stdout is redirected to /dev/null.
+ * src/cmp.c (cmp): When there's a difference, arrange to return nonzero
+ also when comparison_type is the new (from 2006-03-09) type_no_stdout.
+
+2006-05-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/context.c (pr_context_hunk, pr_unidiff_hunk):
+ Prefer fputs or fputc to fprintf, since it's a tad more efficient
+ with unlocked-IO on glibc. Long ago we avoided fputs to
+ work around an ancient SunOS bug, but that's no longer relevant.
+ * src/diff3.c (output_diff3, dotlines, undotlines):
+ (output_diff3_edscript, output_diff3_merge): Likewise.
+ This also avoids a gcc -Wformat-security warning reported
+ by Jim Meyering.
+ * src/ed.c (print_ed_hunk, print_forward_ed_hunk, print_rcs_hunk):
+ Likewise.
+ * src/normal.c (print_normal_hunk): Likewise.
+
+2006-05-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/io.c (find_identical_ends): Fix huge performance bug that I
+ introduced in the 2001-11-25 change: the code to remove the
+ identical suffix also looked at the trailing sentinel, which meant
+ the common suffix length was always incorrectly calculated to be
+ zero. Problem and fix reported by Daniel Hipschman. Instead of
+ his fix, revert to the pre-2001 code.
+
+ * doc/diff.texi: Switch from GFDL 1.1 to 1.2.
+
+2006-03-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/system.h (PARAMS, PROTOTYPES): Remove; no longer needed.
+ (IF_LINT): New macro, to pacify GCC.
+ * src/analyze.c (diag, compareseq): Use IF_LINT.
+ * src/cmp.c (cmp): Likewise.
+ * src/diff3.c (process_diff): Likewise. Also, prefer NULL to 0.
+ * src/ifdef.c (do_printf_spec, scan_char_literal): Likewise.
+ * src/sdiff.c (edit): Likewise.
+
+2006-03-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/cmp.c (type_no_stdout): New constant.
+ (main): Use it to avoid bug when the "EOF on foo" message is
+ generated and stdout is /dev/null.
+ Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre (Debian bug 356083).
+
+2006-01-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * README-alpha: Describe CVS access better, using the README-alpha
+ from GNU tar.
+ * AUTHORS: Simplify list by removing legalisms.
+ * THANKS: Add Larry Wall, who contributed to manual. Update email
+ addresses.

+ source files, so documentation can rely on programs being built.
+ * bootstrap: Import changes from Bison bootstrap. Add gettext,
+ gettime, sh-quote, stat-time, verify, version-etc-fsf modules.
+ Remove posixver module. Retrieve doc/fdl.texi from gnulib.
+ Handle gettext.m4 like glibc21.m4. Don't remove po/en.po.
+ * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Bump to 2.59.
+ (AC_INIT): Bump version to 2.8.7-cvs.
+ (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Change from config to build-aux.
+ Prefer AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_HEADERS
+ and AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
+ Remove jm_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T, jm_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T,
+ AC_STRUCT_ST_MTIM_NSEC.
+ (DIFFUTILS_PREREQUISITES): New macro. Call it.
+ (REGEX_MALLOC): Remove; no longer needed.
+ (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Now 0.14.15.
+ (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Call.
+ (LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME): Remove; bootstrap now does that.
+ (AC_FUNC_SETMODE_DOS): Remove.
+ (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove m4/Makefile.
+ * doc/diff.texi: Use @- at end of lines that should end in white space,
+ so that Emacs doesn't remove the white space.
+ (diff Options): "diff -NUM" is a pure extension to POSIX, so support
+ it unconditionally.
+ * lib/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove quotesys.h.
+ (lib_SOURCES): Remove quotesys.c.
+ (DISTCLEANFILES): Remove.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setmode.h, waitpid.c.

+ * src/cmp.c: Don't include <setmode.h>.
+ (specify_ignore_initial): Reword to avoid gcc -W warnings.
+ (main): Use freopen instead of setmode, since freopen is in POSIX.
+ * src/context.c: Revert most 2004-09-01 changes. Then:
+ (TIMESPEC_NS): Remove. All uses replaced by
+ get_stat_mtime_ns.
+ Include stat-time.h, strftime.h.
+ (nstrtime): Remove decl.
+ * src/diff.c: Revert most 2004-09-01 changes. Then:
+ Don't include <posixver.h>, <quotesys.h>, <setmode.h>.
+ Include <sh-quote.h>, <stat-time.h>, <timespec.h>.
+ All uses of quotesys replaced by sh-quote.
+ (main, compare_files):

+ (main): Don't complain about "diff -NUM'.
+ (main, set_mtime_to_now):
+ Adjust to stat-time.h macros when accessing nanoseconds.
+ * src/diff3.c: Include sh-quote.h rather than quotesys. All uses
+ changed.
+ * src/dir.c (dir_read): excluded_filename renamed to
+ excluded_file_name.
+ * src/io.c: Don't include <setmode.h>.
+ (sip, read_files): Remove binary file stuff, leaving a FIXME behind.
+ A DOS expert needs to look at this.
+ * src/diff.c: Include sh-quote.h rather than quotesys.h.
+ All uses changed.

+
+2004-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ (report_identical_files):
+ Move into struct diffopt. All uses changed.
+ (exclude_options, compare_files, specify_style, check_stdout):
+ New arg OPT. All uses changed.
+ (GDIFF_MAIN): Remove. All uses removed.
+ (function_regexp_list, ignore_regexp_list): No longer static; now
+ locals in 'main'.
+ (main): Set opt.function_regexp, opt.ignore_regexp if using regexps;
+ all other code now tests these pointers rather than inspecting fastmap
+ internals.
+ New local OPT to hold former statics; initialize it.
+ (init_regexp_list): New function, used by main.
+ (summarize_regexp_list): Now returns struct re_pattern_buffer *, and
+ assumes reglist->regexps is not NULL. All uses changed.
+
+ * src/context.c (find_function_last_search): Move into struct diffopt.
+ All uses changed.

+
+2004-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * lib/setmode.c:
+ Don't include <stdbool.h>, since setmode.h now does this.
+ Include setmode.h first, to catch interface errors.
+ Assume HAVE_SETMODE_DOS is defined.
+
+ * lib/setmode.h: Include stdbool.h.
+
+2004-04-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT): Version 2.8.7.
+ * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Add.
+ (XGETTEXT): Restore from pre-2004-04-12 version. This fixes
+ a bug that lost many msgids in doc/diffutils.pot.

+ * exgettext: Don't generate a temporary file, as this runs afoul
+ of "make distcheck" which operates with read-only directories.
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.
+ Remove config/config.rpath as it is deduced automatically these days.
+
+2004-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+ * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT): Version 2.8.6.
+

+ AC_HEADER_STDBOOL, AC_HEADER_STDC, AM_GNU_GETTEXT, XGETTEXT,
+ AC_HEADER_STAT, AC_FUNC_VPRINTF, jm_FUNC_GLIBC_UNLOCKED_IO,

+ jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG, jm_PREREQ_REGEX, AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, jm_AC_DOS):
+ Remove; not needed here, as our files don't use them directly
+ or we rely on gnulib modules.

+ time.h.

+
+ * doc/diff.texi (dircategory): Change to "Text creation and
+ manipulation" from "GNU packages".
+ (Translations): New node.
+ (Overview): Improve quality of algorithm citations.

+ has had its first parameter's name changed so it ends in `msgid'.
+ All arrays of msgids have had their names changed to end in `msgid'.
+ `getmsgids' uses this to determine which strings are msgids.

+ Allocate just one block of memory to save a message.
+
+Wed Nov 9 17:42:44 1994 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+

+
+ * system.h (_tolower): Define if not already defined.

+ (AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Not needed, since we only test for equality.
+ (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add test for memchr.
+ (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Check for memchr, not memcpy, since it'll be cached.

+
+ * diff.c, diff.h (ignore_some_line_changes):

+
+ * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Fix inconsistencies with -b -w -i and
+ incomplete lines. Put incomplete lines into their own bucket.
+ This means line_cmp no longer needs line length arguments,
+ and equivalence classes' line lengths no longer need to include \n.
+ Invoke line_cmp only if ignore_some_line_changes.
+ (prepare_text_end): -B no longer ignores missing newlines.
+ (read_files): Allocate another bucket for incomplete lines.
+
+ * util.c (line_cmp): Now takes just two arguments. No longer
+ optimizes for common case of exact equality; the caller does that
+ optimization now. The caller is changed accordingly.
+ Optimize for the common case of mostly equality.
+ Use isupper+tolower instead of islower+toupper, for consistency.
+
+ * waitpid.c (waitpid): Fix typo with internal scoping.
+
+Thu Sep 8 08:23:15 1994 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

+
+ * diff3.c (scan_diff_line), util.c (print_number_range): Don't
+ rely on promotion to make the old-style parameter type agree

+
+ * ifdef.c: Add support for %?c, %(A=B?T:E), PRINTF_SPECn formats.
+ (struct group): New struct.
+ (print_ifdef_lines): Use it to simplify argument passing.
+ Remove the convention that last arg -1 signifies that the lines
+ from file 2 are the same as the lines from file 1; this
+ convention no longer works, now that line numbers might be
+ printed out, since the line numbers may differ.
+ Add first FILE * argument to output to. All callers changed.
+ Use a faster test for the single-fwrite optimization.
+ (format_group, scan_printf_spec, groups_letter_value): New functions.
+

+
+Fri Sep 3 00:21:02 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+

+
+Fri Aug 27 06:59:03 1993 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * Pervasive changes for portability to 64-bit hosts:
+ Add prototypes to function declarations.
+ Use size_t, not int, when needed.
+
+ * Other pervasive changes:
+ Use `const' more often.
+ Use STD{IN,OUT,ERR}_FILENO instead of [012].
+ Use 0, not NULL, for portability to broken hosts.
+
+ * Makefile.in: (srcs, objs, distfiles, cmp): New files cmpbuf.[ch].
+ (distfiles): New files config.h.in, mkinstalldirs.
+ (.c.o): Add -DHAVE_CONFIG_H.
+
+ * analyze.c: (diag): Pacify `gcc -Wall' with a useless assignment.
+ (diff_2_files): Use l.c.m., not max, of files' buffer sizes.
+
+ * cmp.c: Make globals static when possible.
+
+ (file): Now a 2-element array; replaces `file1' and `file2'.
+ (file_desc, buffer): Likewise, for file[12]_desc and buf[12].
+ (main): Likewise, for stat_buf[12]. Index these variables with `i'.
+
+ (ignore_initial): New var.
+ (long_options): Now const. Add `--ignore-initial'.
+ (usage): Sort options and add `--ignore-initial'.
+ (main, cmp): Add `--ignore-initial' support.
+
+ (main): `cmp - -' now succeeds.
+ When comparing standard input to a file, and using a shortcut (e.g.
+ looking at file sizes or inode numbers), take the lseek offset into
+ account before deciding whether the files are identical.
+ Avoid mentioning `dev_t', `ino_t' for portability to nonstandard hosts.
+ Use l.c.m. of files' buffer sizes, not 8 * 1024.
+ ferror (stdout) does not imply errno has a useful value.
+ If 2nd file is "-", treat it first, in case stdin is closed.
+
+ (cmp): Always compute `char_number', `smaller' for speed and simplicity.
+ Say `cmp: EOF on input', not `/usr/gnu/bin/cmp: EOF on input',
+ as per Posix.2.
+
+ (block_compare_and_count): Increment line_number argument.
+ Remove end_char argument; it's always '\n'. All callers changed.
+ Do not assume sizeof(long) == 4; this isn't true on some 64-bit hosts.
+ (block_compare): Minimize differences with block_compare_and_count.
+
+ (block_read): Coalesce `bp += nread's.
+
+ (printc): Remove `FILE *' arg; output to stdout. All callers changed.
+
+ * configure.in: Configure HAVE_SIGACTION, RETSIGTYPE, HAVE_VPRINTF.
+ Configure into config.h.
+
+ * context.c (print_context_label):
+ Standard input's st_mtime is no longer a special case
+ here, since `compare_files' now sets it to the current time.
+
+ * diff.c (usage): Sort options.
+ (filetype): New function.
+ (compare_files): Set stdin's st_mtime to be the current time.
+ Leave its name "-" instead of changing it to "Standard Input";
+ to test whether a file is stdin, we must compare its name to "-" instead
+ of its desc to 0, since if it's closed other file descs may be 0.
+ When comparing standard input to a file, and using a shortcut (e.g.
+ looking at file sizes or inode numbers), take the lseek offset into
+ account before deciding whether the files are identical.
+ Pretend that nonexistent files have the same filetype as existing files.
+ Rename `errorcount' to `failed', since it's boolean.
+ In directory comparisons, if a file is neither a regular file nor a
+ directory, just print its type and the other file's type.
+
+ * diff.h (Is_space, textchar): Remove.
+ (struct msg, msg_chain, msg_chain_end): Move to util.c.
+ (VOID): Move to system.h.
+ (line_cmp, version_string, change_letter, print_number_range,
+ find_change): New decls.

+ * diff.texi:
+ whitespace -> white space. It now stands for whatever isspace yields.
+ Add --ignore-initial.
+
+ * diff3.c (VOID): Move to system.h.
+ (version_string): Now char[].
+ (usage): Sort options.
+ (process_diff): Pacify `gcc -Wall' with a useless assignment.
+ (read_diff): pid is of type pid_t, not int. Use waitpid if available.
+ (output_diff3): Simplify test for `\ No newline at end of file' message.
+
+ * dir.c (struct dirdata): Rename `files' to `names' to avoid confusion
+ with external struct file_data `files'.
+
+ * io.c (line_cmp): Move declaration to diff.h.
+ (textchar): Remove.
+ (find_and_hash_each_line): Use locale's definition of white space
+ instead of using one hardwired defn for -b and another for -w.
+
+ * normal.c (change_letter, print_number_range, find_change):
+ Move decls to diff.h.
+ (print_normal_hunk): Now static.
+
+ * sdiff.c (SEEK_SET): Move to system.h.
+ (version_string): Now char[], not char*.
+ (private_tempnam): Remove hardcoded limit on temporary file names.
+ (exiterr, perror_fatal, main): When exiting because of a signal,
+ exit with that signal's status.
+ (lf_refill, main, skip_white, edit, interact): Check for signal.
+ (ignore_SIGINT): Renamed from `ignore_signals'.
+ (NUM_SIGS, initial_handler): New macros.
+ (initial_action, signal_received, sigs_trapped): New vars.
+ (catchsig, trapsigs): Use sigaction if possible, since this closes the
+ windows of vulnerability that `signal' has. Use RETSIGTYPE not void.
+ When a signal comes in, just set a global variable; this is safer.
+ (checksigs, untrapsig): New functions.
+ (edit): Pacify `gcc -Wall' with a useless assignment.
+ Respond to each empty line with help, not to every other empty line.
+ (private_tempnam): Remove hardcoded limit on temporary file name length.
+ Don't assume sizeof (pid_t) <= sizeof (int).
+
+ * system.h: (S_IXOTH, S_IXGRP, S_IXUSR,
+ SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR,
+ STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO):
+ New macros, if system doesn't define them.
+ (volatile): Don't define if already defined.
+ (PARAMS): New macro.
+ (VOID): Move here from diff.h.
+
+ * util.c (struct msg, msg_chain, msg_chain_end): Moved here from diff.h.
+ (message5): New function.
+ (pr_pid): New var.
+ (begin_output): Allocate `name' more precisely.
+ Put child pid into pr_pid, so that we can wait for it later.
+ Don't check execl's return value, since any return must be an error.
+ (finish_output): Detect and report output errors.
+ Use waitpid if available. Check pr exit status.
+ (line_cmp): Use locale's definition of white space
+ instead of using one hardwired defn for -b and another for -w.
+ (analyze_cmp): Avoid double negation with `! nontrivial'.
+ Pacify `gcc -Wall' be rewriting for-loop into do-while-loop.
+ (dir_file_pathname): New function.
+
+ * version.c (version_string): Now char[], not char*.

+ * Makefile.in (dist): Replace `if [ ! TEST ]; then ACTION; fi'

+ if all their differences are ignored.
+ (briefly_report): New function.
+ * diff.h (ignore_some_changes): New variable.
+ * diff.c (compare_files): Don't use the file size shortcut if
+ ignore_some_changes is nonzero, since the file size may differ

+
+Wed Nov 18 20:40:28 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+

+ * io.c (binary_file_p): Consider empty file as non-binary.
+
+Mon Oct 5 05:18:46 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * diff3.c (main, make_3way_diff, using_to_diff3_block): Don't
+ report bogus differences (for one of -mexEX3) just because the
+ file0-file1 diffs don't line up with the file0-file2 diffs.
+ (This is entirely possible since we don't use diff's -n
+ option.) Always compare file1 to file2, so that diff3 sees
+ those changes directly. Typically, file2 is now the common
+ file, not file0.
+ (output_diff3_merge): The input file is file 0, not the common file.
+
+ (FC, FO): New macros; they replace FILE1, FILE0 for two-way diffs,
+ to distinguish them from three-way diffs.
+
+ * diff3.c (using_to_diff3_block): Fold repeated code into loops.
+
+ * diff3.c (make_3way_diff, process_diff): Have the *_end
+ variable point to the next field to be changed, not to the last
+ object allocated; this saves an if-then-else.
+
+ * diff3.c (process_diff): Use D_NUMLINES instead of its definiens.
+
+ * diff3.c: Make fns and vars static unless they must be external.
+
+Wed Sep 30 09:21:59 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * analyze.c (diff_2_files): OUTPUT_IFDEF is now robust.
+ * diff.h (ROBUST_OUTPUT_STYLE): Likewise.
+ (default_line_format): Remove. All refs removed.
+
+ * ifdef.c (print_ifdef_lines): Add %L. Optimize %l\n even if user
+ specified it, as opposed to its being the default.
+
+Tue Sep 29 19:01:28 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * diff.c (longopts, main): --{old,new,unchanged,changed}--group-format
+ are new options, so that -D is no longer overloaded. Set
+ no_diff_means_no_output if --unchanged-{line,group}-format allows it.
+ * diff.h (enum line_class): New type.
+ (group_format, line_format): Use it to regularize option flags.
+ All refs changed.
+
+ * ifdef.c (format_ifdef, print_ifdef_lines): %n is no longer a format.
+
+Mon Sep 28 04:51:42 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * diff.c (main, usage): Replace --line-prefix with the more general
+ --{old,new,unchanged}-line-format options.
+ * ifdef.c (format_ifdef, print_ifdef_lines): Likewise.
+ * diff.h (line_format): Renamed from line_prefix. All refs changed.

+
+ * ifdef.c: (format_ifdef, print_ifdef_lines): Add %0 format.
+
+Sun Sep 27 05:38:13 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * diff.c (main): Add -E or --line-prefix option. Add -D'=xxx'
+ for common lines. Change default -D< format from copy of -D>
+ format to to -D<%<; similarly for default -D> format.
+ * diff.h (common_format, line_prefix): New variables.
+ * ifdef.c (format_ifdef): New function.
+ (print_ifdef_script, print_ifdef_hunk, print_ifdef_lines):
+ Use it for -D'=xxx', -E.
+
+ * context.c (find_hunk): Glue together two non-ignorable changes that
+ are exactly CONTEXT * 2 lines apart. This shortens output, removes
+ a behavioral discontinuity at CONTEXT = 0, and is more compatible
+ with traditional diff.
+
+ * io.c (find_identical_ends): Slurp stdin at most once.
+
+ * util.c (print_line_line): line_flag is const char *.
+
+Thu Sep 24 15:18:07 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * ifdef.c (print_ifdef_lines): New function, which fwrites a sequence

+ a hardwired format.
+
+ * side.c (print_1sdiff_line): Represent incomplete lines on output.
+ (print_sdiff_script): Likewise. Don't print 'q' at end,
+ since that doesn't work with incomplete lines.
+ * sdiff.c (interact): Don't assume diff output ends with 'q' line.
+ * diff.h (ROBUST_OUTPUT_STYLE): OUTPUT_SDIFF is now robust.
+
+ * sdiff.c (lf_copy, lf_snarf): Use memchr instead of index,
+ to avoid dumping core when files contain null characters.
+ (memchr): New function (if memchr is missing).
+
+ * io.c (sip): New arg SKIP_TEST to skip test for binary file.
+ (read_files): Don't bother testing second file if first is binary.
+
+Thu Sep 17 21:17:49 1992 David J. MacKenzie (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
+
+ * system.h [!USG && !_POSIX_VERSION]: Protect from conflicting

+Thu Sep 10 15:17:32 1992 David J. MacKenzie (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
+
+ * Makefile.in (uninstall): New target.
+
+ * diff.c (excluded_filename): Use fnmatch, not wildmat.
+ (usage): Document -x, -X, --exclude, --exclude-from.
+ Makefile.in: Use fnmatch.c, not wildmat.c.
+
+Sun Sep 6 23:46:25 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * configure.in: Add HAVE_MEMCHR.
+ * diff.h, util.c: Use it instead of MEMCHR_MISSING.
+
+Sun Sep 6 07:25:49 1992 Paul Eggert (eggert@twinsun.com)
+
+ * diff.h: (struct line_def): Replace this 3-word struct with char *.
+ This uses less memory, particularly for large files with short lines.
+ (struct file_data): New member linbuf_base counts number of lines
+ in common prefix that are not recorded in linbuf;
+ this uses less memory if files are identical or differ only at end.
+ New member buffered_lines counts possibly differing lines.
+ New member valid_lines counts valid data.
+ New member alloc_lines - linbuf_base replaces old linbufsize.
+ linbuf[0] now always points at first differing line.
+ Remove unused members ltran, suffix_lines.
+ Add const where appropriate.
+ (Is_space): New macro, for consistent definition of `white space'.
+ (excluded_filename, memchr, sip, slurp): New declarations.
+ * ed.c (print_ed_hunk): Adjust to diff.h's struct changes.
+ * context.c (pr_context_hunk): Likewise.
+ * ifdef.c (print_ifdef_script): Likewise.
+ * side.c (print_sdiff_script, print_half_line): Likewise.
+ * util.c (analyze_hunk, line_cmp, print_1_line): Likewise.
+
+ * analyze.c (shift_boundaries): Remove unneeded variable `end' and
+ unnecessary comparisons of `preceding' and `other_preceding' against 0.
+ (diff_2_files): When comparing files byte-by-byte for equality,
+ don't slurp them all in at once; just compare them a buffer at a time.
+ This can win big if they differ early on.
+ Move some code to compare_files to enable this change.
+ Use only one buffer for stdin with `diff - -'.
+ (discard_confusing_lines, diff_2_files): Coalesce malloc/free calls.
+ (build_script): Remove obsolete OUTPUT_RCS code.
+
+ * diff.c (add_exclude, add_exclude_file, excluded_filename): New fns.
+ (main): Use them for the new --exclude and --exclude-from options.
+ (compare_files): Don't open a file unless it must be read.
+ Treat `diff file file' and `diff file dir' similarly.
+ Move some code here from diff_2_files to enable this.
+ Simplify file vs dir warning.
+
+ * dir.c (dir_sort): Support new --exclude* options.
+
+ * io.c (struct equivclass): Put hash code and line length here instead
+ of struct line_def, so that they can be shared.
+ (find_and_hash_each_line): Compute equivalence class as we go,
+ instead of doing it in a separate pass; this thrashes memory less.
+ Make buckets realloc-able, since we can't preallocate them.
+ Record one more line start than there are lines, so that we can compute
+ any line's length by subtracting its start from the next line's,
+ instead of storing the length explicitly. This saves memory.
+ Move prefix-handling code to find_identical_ends;
+ this wins with large prefixes.
+ Use Is_space, not is_space, for consistent treatment of white space.
+ (prepare_text_end): New function.
+ (find_identical_ends): Move slurping here, so it's only done when
+ needed. Work even if the buffers are the same (because of `diff - -').
+ Compare prefixes a word at a time for speed.
+ (find_equiv_class): Delete; now done by find_and_hash_each_line.
+ (read_files): Don't slurp unless needed.
+ find_equiv_class's work is now folded into find_and_hash_each_line.
+ Don't copy stdin buffer if `diff - -'.
+ Check for running out of primes.
+ (sip, slurp): Split first part of `slurp' into another function `sip'.
+ `sip' sets things up and perhaps reads the first ST_BLKSIZE buffer to
+ see whether the file is binary; `slurp' now just finishes the job.
+ This lets diff_2_files compare binary files lazily.
+ Allocate a one-word sentinel to allow word-at-a-time prefix comparison.
+ Count prefix lines only if needed, only count the first file's prefix.
+ Don't bother to count suffix lines; it's never needed.
+ Set up linbuf[0] to point at first differing line.
+ (binary_file_p): Change test for binary files:
+ if it has a null byte in its first buffer, it's binary.
+ (primes): Add more primes.
+
+ * util.c (line_cmp): Use bcmp for speed.
+ Use Is_space, not is_space, for consistent treatment of white space.
+ (translate_line_number): Internal line numbers now count from 0
+ starting after the prefix.
+ (memchr): New function (if memchr is missing).
+
+ * Makefile.in: Document HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE. Link with wildmat.o.
+ * system.h (STAT_BLOCKSIZE): New macro based on HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE.
+ * configure.in: Add AC_ST_BLKSIZE.
+ * wildmat.c: New file.
+
+Fri Sep 4 01:28:51 1992 Richard Stallman (rms@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
+
+ * sdiff.c (xmalloc): Renamed from ck_malloc. Callers changed.
+
+Thu Sep 3 15:28:59 1992 David J. MacKenzie (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
+
+ * diff.h: Don't declare free, index, rindex.
+
+Tue Aug 11 22:18:06 1992 John Gilmore (gnu at cygnus.com)
+
+ * io.c (binary_file_p): Use heuristic to avoid declaring info
+ files as binary files. Allow about 1.5% non-printing
+ characters (in info's case, ^_).
+
+Tue Jul 7 01:09:26 1992 David J. MacKenzie (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
+
+ * diff.h: Replace function_regexp and ignore_regexp with lists
+ of compiled regexps.
+ * analyze.c, context.c, util.c: Test whether the lists, not
+ the old variables, are empty.
+ * util.c (analyze_hunk), context.c (find_function): Compare
+ lines with the lists of regexps.
+ * diff.c (add_regexp): New function.
+ (main): Use it.
+
+ * diff3: Add -v --version option.

+ * Makefile.in: Link with version.o.
+
+ * cmp.c error.c xmalloc.c: New files from textutils.
+ * Makefile.in: Add rules for them.
+
+ * diff.c (longopts): --unidirectional-new-file is like -P, not -N.
+ Rename --file-label to --label (leave old name, but undocumented).
+
+ * sdiff.c, diff.c (usage): Condense messages and fix some errors.
+
+ * diff3.c (main, usage): Add long-named options.
