2010-05-04  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* tests/read-only-files: Remove the superuser test, and instead try
	out if a read-only file can be written to.

	* tests/test-lib.sh: Create temporary directories in builddir; this
	removes the need to do it safely: some systems do not have mktemp -d.

	* configure.ac, tests/Makefile: Remove $(TEST_SHELL) and use $(SHELL)
	instead.

	* src/version.c: Put the Free Software Foundation copyright first.
	* tests/read-only-files: Skip when run as superuser: even files

	* src/Makefile.am (patch_LDADD): Add $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME) here, after
	libpatch.a, so that clock_gettime is properly resolved on systems on
	which the library order matters.

	* NEWS: Update.
	* gnulib: Update to latest.
	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.

	* src/patch.c (main): Refuse to patch read-only files, or at least warn
	when patching such files with --force or --batch.
	* patch.man: Document the changed behavior.
	* tests/read-only-files: Split read-only file test case off from
	tests/remember-backup-files.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test case.

2010-04-29  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	change to the new mode.
	* src/util.c (set_file_attributes): Add a mode parameter.

	* src/pch.h (prefix_components): Do not follow symlinks.

	* src/inp.c (get_input_file): Add a mode parameter specifying the
	input file type (which can be either S_IFREG or S_IFLNK).  The file
	type must match this mode parameter; for symbolic links, the --get
	option is not supported.
	(scan_input): Abort when plan_a() cannot handle a symbolic link.
	Say when patching a symbolic link instead of a regular file.
	(plan_a): Add support for reading symbolic links.

	the file owner when permitted.
	(create_backup_copy): Use set_file_attributes().
	* src/patch.c (main): Use set_file_attributes().
	* bootstrap.conf: Use the gnulib lchmod module.

2010-04-27  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	utimbuf is no longer used.

	* src/util.h: Include <backupfile.h> here and not in each C file
	individually; this avoids a warning in merge.c with some compilers.

	* src/bestmatch.h: Do not use variable-length arrays.

2010-04-26  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/inp.c (get_input_file), src/pch.c (there_is_another_patch,
	intuit_diff_type): Use lstat instead of stat.  This causes patch to
	refuse patching symlinks (get_input_file() will refuse to read them).
	* src/util.c (create_backup): Refuse to create backups of symlinks.
	* tests/symlinks: New test case.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.
	* bootstrap.conf: Use the gnulib lstat module.

	only skip the patch instead of aborting.
	* src/patch.c (main): If get_input_file() fails, skip the patch.

2010-04-25  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* bootstrap.conf: Use the gnulib fcntl-h and sys_stat modules.
	* src/common.h: Remove the declarations provided by gnulib sys_stat.
	Always include fcntl.h (and depend on gnulib fcntl-h).
	* src/util.h: Remove duplicate include of <timespec.h>.
	* configure.ac: Remove obsolete checks for fcntl.h and utime.h.

	* src/common.h, src/patch.c, src/util.c, src/util.h: Do not declare
	variables as "volatile" unnecessarily.

2010-04-24  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/inp.c, src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/util.c: Stop declaring
	local variables as "register" all over the place: a decent compiler
	will do a good enough job of place variables into registers where it
	makes sense.

2010-04-23  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.man: Describe the fixed behavior of --set-time and --set-utc
	for timestamps that include time zones.

	* src/util.c (parse_name): New helper function for parsing unquoted or
	quoted filenames.
	* src/util.h (parse_name): Declare.

	(fetchname): Add support for quoted filenames.
	* tests/quoted-filenames: New test case.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.

	* src/util.c (fetchname): Untangle the name and timestamp parsing.

	* src/util.c (strip_leading_slashes): Make this a separate function.
	(fetchname): Use strip_leading_slashes() here.

2010-04-21  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/patch.c (main): Support nanosecond timestamps.  Replaqce utime()
	with utimens().
	* src/util.c (create_backup_copy): Preserve nanosecond timestamps.
	Replace utime() with utimens().
	* src/util.h: Remove the utime() related declarations, and include
	the utimens() and nanosecond related headers instead.
	* bootstrap.conf: Add the stat-time and utimens modules.

	* src/Makefile.am (patch_SOURCES): Remove maketime.c, maketime.h,
	partime.c, and partime.h.

	* src/util.c: Replace maketime.h and partime.h with getdate.h.
	(fetchname): Replace str2time() with get_date().  Sanitize the test
	for epoch timestamps.
	* src/patch.c (main): When --set-utc is given, set the TZ environment
	variable to UTC so that get_date() will default to UTC timestamps.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Switching to get_date() revealed
	that str2time() was ignoring timezones.  In order to test --set-utc
	now that get_date() fixes this, we must use timestamps that do not
	include timestamps here.
	* bootstrap.conf: Add the clock-time, getdate, gettime, and setenv
	modules.

2010-04-20  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/pch.h (pch_timestamp): Return timestamp as struct timespec
	instead of time_t.
	* src/pch.c: Use struct timespec instead of time_t.  A tv_sec value
	of -1 indicates "no timestamp".
	* src/util.h (fetchname): Return timestamp as struct timespec
	instead of time_t.
	* src/util.c (fetchname): str2time() does not give us nanoseconds; set
	them to zero for now.
	* src/patch.c (main): Only use the seconds in timestamps for now.
	* bootstrap.conf: Add the time module for getting struct timespec
	declared on old hosts.

	* src/util.c (quote_system_arg): Add a replacement for
	quote_system_arg() which uses quotearg's shell quoting style.
	* src/Makefile.am (patch_SOURCES): Remove quotesys.c and quotesys.h.
	* src/quotesys.c, src/quotesys.h: Delete.

	* src/util.c (fetchname): Cosmetic fix.

2010-04-19  Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>

	* src/Makefile.am (patch_SOURCES): Remove the obsolete diffseq.h to
	fix "make dist".

2010-04-18  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* Globally rename type LINENUM to lin (as in diffutils).

	* src/patch.c (Argv): Change type to char ** so that we can pass Argv
	to getopt_long without warning.
	* src/maketime.c (maketime): Fix year overflow check.

	* diffseq: Use the gnulib version instead of a private copy.

	* gnulib: Update to latest.

2010-04-15  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* tests/merge: Use the sed commands i, a, and c in their standard form
	instead of relying on a GNU extension, and pass sed a script (-f)
	instead of a list of commands via -e.
	Some versions of sed don't support expressions like /^\(\|foo\)$/.
	* tests/corrupt-reject-files: Use the more widely available -e switch
	instead of -A.
	* tests/crlf-handling: Likewise.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Use touch -t instead of touch -d.
	Some non-GNU versions of date can't show a file's timestamp.

	.tarball-version in dist tarballs.

2010-04-12  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/pch.c (EDITOR_PROGRAM): Rename from ed_PROGRAM.
	* configure.ac (EDITOR_PROGRAM): Rename from ed_PROGRAM.

	* configure.ac: Add automake and gnulib macros, replace several
	obsolete macros.
	* Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
	Add for automake.
	* autogen.sh, INSTALL, Makefile.in, mkinstalldirs, update-version.sh:
	Obsolete; remove.
	* README-hacking: Import from diffutils, replace cvs with git.
	* build-aux: Move gnulib auxiliary files here from the top-level
	directory.
	* gnulib: Add gnulib git submodule.
	* bootstrap, bootstrap.conf: Import from gnulib and adjust.
	* gl/lib: Remove gnulib files from the repository; they are now
	imported into lib/ from gnulib as needed.
	* tests/test-lib.sh: Use $abs_top_builddir exported from
	tests/Makefile.am here instead of $PWD.
	* m4/utimbuf.m4: This macro has been removed from gnulib. Add it here
	for now; this will be replaced by gnulib's utimens module soon.

	* tests/test-lib.sh: Some versions of mktemp require a filename
	template; use one.  Provide a seq replacement on platforms which don't
	have seq.

	* configure.ac: Minimum versions required: automake-1.11.1,
	autoconf-2.65.

2010-02-21  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/merge.c: When a hunk has fewer suffix than prefix context lines,
	try matching to the end of the file instead of doing a "greedy match":
	this allows to detect already-applied inserts at the end of the file.
	* tests/merge: Add test cases for this.

2010-02-17  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.man: Clarify the description of the -N option.

	* src/bestmatch.h, src/diffseq.h, src/inp.c, src/maketime.c,
	src/merge.c, src/partime.c, src/pch.c, src/util.c: No longer use
	"continue" as the only instruction in a loop body: at least one
	compiler chokes on this in combination with variable-length arrays
	as in src/bestmatch.h.

	* gl/lib/strndup.c: HAVE_DECL_STRNLEN is either 0 or 1 so we need
	to test for it with #if, not #ifdef.
	* gl/lib/xstrndup.c: Likewise for HAVE_DECL_STRNDUP.

2010-01-11  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	src/partime.h, src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/pch.h, src/quotesys.c,
	src/util.c, src/util.h, src/version.c: Add year 2010 to copyright
	notice.  Replace the GPLv2 license template with the GPLv3 license
	template.

	* src/patch.c (main): Compare the input file's group ID with the
	effective group ID to determine if a chown() is necessary, not the
	effective user ID.

2010-01-01  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* Makefile.in (LIBSRCS, LIBM4FILES): Add the missing files strnlen.c,

	behavior.

2009-12-28  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* tests/create-delete: Clean up a syntactic glitch.

	* src/pch.c: When the input files to diff have CRLF line endings, the
	'<' and '>' lines of normal-style diffs will have CRLF endings even
	when the patch itself has not been CRLF mangled.  Do not assume a
	mangled patch in this case.
	* tests/crlf-handling: Update test case to cover this case.

	* configure.ac (gl_FUNC_STRNDUP, gl_FUNC_STRNLEN): Add here.
	* gl/m4/strndup.m4 (gl_HEADER_STRING_H_DEFAULTS): Don't use gnulib's
	strings.h replacement for now, it is too complicated to add right now.

	declare strndup here on systems which don't have it.
	* gl/lib/strndup.c: Instead of using gl_HEADER_STRING_H_DEFAULTS,
	declare strnlen here on systems which don't have it.

	* Makefile.in (getopt.h, GETOPT_H): Generate getopt.h in the top-level
	directory if needed.

	generation on platforms which don't provide this header.
	(argmatch.$(OBJEXT)): Add missing $(STDBOOL_H) dependency.

	* install-sh: Make executable.

2009-12-22  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/version.c (copyright_string): Add year 2009.

	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Add some clarifying comments.

	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Fix regression introduced after patch
	2.5.9: when none of the filenames in the old, new, and index headers
	exists, patch chose the wrong filename (bug 28367).
	(maybe_reverse): Return if the patch looks reversed, not if this
	function toggled the reverse flag.
	* tests/filename-choice: New test case.
	* Makefile.in (TESTS): Add test case.

2009-11-24  Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com>

	* configure.ac: It looks like the . command does not pass the
	arguments to the update-version.sh script [on some platforms].  Invoke
	with sh instead.

2009-11-21  Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

	* Makefile.in (LIBSRCS, LIBHDRS, LIBM4FILES): Add the gnulib which
	were imported on 2009-06-05 here as well.

	* src/partime.c (main): Try to preserve the owning group of patched
	files.

2009-07-19  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* gl/lib/full-write.c, gl/lib/safe-write.c, gl/lib/full-write.h,
	gl/lib/safe-write.h, gl/m4/safe-write.m4, gl/m4/ssize_t.m4:

	Use only the long form for now (--merge).

2009-06-15  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* src/util.c (move_file): Don't fail when removing nonexistent
	files: this condition is already checked in maybe_reverse().

2009-06-05  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* gl/lib/getopt_int.h, gl/lib/strndup.c, gl/m4/strndup.m4: Add
	some missing gnulib files.
	* Makefile.in (GETOPT_H): Include subdirectory (gl/lib/) when
	using the gnulib version.

	* src/patch.c: When sending output to stdout, use dup2 to redirect
	messages to stderr; simply assigning stderr to stdout doesn't work on
	some platforms.
	* gl/lib/dup2.c, gl/m4/dup2.m4: Import from gnulib.

	* gl/lib/rename.c, gl/m4/rename.m4: Import from gnulib for platforms
	like Mingw.

	* src/pch.c (maybe_reverse): New function.
	(intuit_diff_type): Move the check back here from
	there_is_another_patch(), but compute it using maybe_reverse().  If
	an input file name has been specified, do this check here as well.
	* src/patch.c (main): Only set outname if we are not skipping the
	patch.
	* src/inp.c (get_input_file): We may get here without a file to read
	as well now; don't abort in this case.
	* tests/create-delete: Add test cases covering the previously-broken
	code paths.

	* Makefile.in (MISC): Add config.guess and config.sub.

	* src/partime.c (parse_pattern_letter): Fix for timestamps with
	seconds > 59.5 from Christian Franke.

2009-04-05  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* util.c (create_backup): We also need to create base directories
	with a --prefix without slashes and a filename with slashes. A
	--suffix cannot contain slashes, though.

	Move all source and header files into src/.
	* Makefile.in, tests/test-lib.sh, configure.ac: Update accordingly.

	files into src/.
	* Makefile.in, tests/test-lib.sh, configure.ac, autogen.sh: Update
	accordingly.
	* m4/st_mtim.m4: Remove (obsolete since 2009-03-28).

	Update to the latest version of Gnulib.

	gl/m4/unlocked-io.m4, gl/m4/utimbuf.m4, gl/m4/xalloc.m4: Likewise.
	* install-sh, mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
	* gl/lib/stdbool.hin: Renamed from gl/lib/stdbool_.h.
	* gl/lib/getopt.h: Removed (should be generated).
	* gl/lib/addext.c: Removed from Gnulib.

	Replace memory_fatal() with xalloc_die().  The FILESYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN()
	macro has been renamed to FILE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN().
	* src/patch.c (main): Remove xalloc_fail_func (replaced by
	xalloc_die()).  Work around the missing addext() with
	find_backup_file_name() plus hacks.
	* src/util.c (create_backup, version_controller): The new versions of
	base_name() and dir_name() return malloc'ed buffers.  Adapt.
	* src/util.h: Replace memory_fatal() with xalloc_die().
	* src/pch.c: Don't leak memory with strlen (base_name (...)).

	* src/util.c (create_file): Add to_dir_known_to_exist argument and
	try to create parent directories when set and the create failed with
	ENOENT.
	(copy_file, create_backup_copy): Pass the new to_dir_known_to_exist
	argument through.
	(create_backup): Don't assume the target directory exists when making
	a backup copy.
	* src/util.h (create_file, copy_file): Change the declarations.
	* src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/inp.c: In the calls to create_file() and
	copy_file(), assume the parent directory exists.
	* tests/unmodified-files: Test the create_backup() fix.

	* src/util.c (create_backup): The new dir_name() and base_name()
	functions are really counter productive.  Remove them and the bugs
	that keepeing them here as introduced.
	* tests/backup-prefix-suffix: Add more regression tests.

	* src/patch.c (locate_hunk): Revert to the original asymmetric hunk
	behavior (but only anchor hunks starting at line 0 to the start of the
	file): there is not enough reason to change the historic behavior.
	* src/merge.c (locate_merge): Add similar asymmetric hunk check here.
	* tests/asymmetric-hunks: Update accordingly.
	* patch.man: Document the asymmetric hunk behavior.
	* NEWS: Update.

2009-04-04  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* pch.c (another_hunk): Add (back) the line number ranges to the
	debug output.
	* merge.c (merge_hunk): Likewise.
	(locate_merge): Add a note about the algorithm's requirements.
	* util.c (create_backup): Split from move_file.  New LEAVE_ORIGINAL
	argument for copying instead of renaming.  Don't fail when rename
	fails with errno == EXDEV; copy and unlink in that case instead.
	(copy_file): Add debug message.
	* util.h: Move including <utime.h> etc. here from patch.c.
	(create_backup): Declare.
	* patch.c (main): Create backup files even for files which did not
	actually change; some users of patch rely on the presence of backup
	files when patch says "patching file".
	* tests/unmodified-files: Test the patch.c change.  (The EXDEV fix in
	create_mackup() was tested manually.)
	* util.c (copy_to_fd, ask): The read() return type is ssize_t.

2009-04-03  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.man: Document the -m or --merge option.  Some minor other
	changes.
	* NEWS: Document the asymmetric hunk behavior and the -m or --merge
	option.
	* merge.c (locate_merge): Include the number of changes in the debug
	message.
	(print_linerange): New function.
	(merge_result): No longer print line offsets: without exact matches,
	line numbers are less meaningful.  Output the entire messages here.
	(merge_hunk): Be silent when merging exact matches unless in
	--verbose mode.
	* tests/merge: Add another interesting test case.

	* tests/test-lib.sh: Add have_ed function for checking if ed is
	available.
	* tests/crlf-handling, tests/need-filename: Check for ed and skip the
	ed related tests if we don't have it.
	* tests/merge: Use sed instead of ed: sed is more readily available.

	* patch.c (locate_hunk): If a hunk starts at a line > 1, it obviously
	is not from the start of the file.
	* tests/asymmetric-hunks: Add tests for all possible cases.

2009-04-02  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.c (locate_hunk): Revert the assymmetric hunk fix from
	2009-03-29.  Instead, allow such hunks to apply only when no
	more context remains.

	* patch.c (main): Restructure to get rid of some code duplication.
	(copy_till, similar): Export these functions.
	* common.h (struct outstate, in_offset, out_offset,
	last_frozen_line): Move here from patch.c.
	(apply_hunk, copy_till, similar): Declare here.

	Simple merge support:
	* configure.ac (ENABLE_MERGE): New --disable-merge option.
	* patch.c (merge): New variable.
	(main): New -m and --merge options.  When in merge mode, don't try
	to reverse patches, and don't try to apply with fuzz.
	* common.h (merge_hunk): Declare function.
	* merge.c: New file containing all the merge code.
	* tests/merge: New test case.
	* Makefile.in (SRCS): Add merge.c.
	(OBJS): Add merge.$(OBJEXT) when merge support is enabled.
	(TESTS): Add test case.
	(COMPILE): Define ENABLE_MERGE when merge support is enabled.

	Locate hunks to merge more intelligently:
	* bestmatch.h: Shortest Edit Sequence algorithm.
	* merge.c (locate_merge, count_fuzz_lines): New functions.
	(merge_hunk): Replace simple guessing with locate_merge().
	* Makefile.in (HDRS): Add bestmatch.h.
	* tests/merge: Only minor improvements up to now.

	* diffseq.h: New file (Gnulib compareseq algorithm).
	* minmax.h: New file (Gnulib MIN and MAX macros).
	* Makefile.in (HDRS): Add diffseq.h and minmax.h.

	* COPYING: Update to GPL version 3 because of diffseq.h.

	* diffseq.h: When an EQUAL_IDX macro is defined, use that instead
	of EQUAL.  This macro takes vector indexes instead of elements as
	arguments.

	Better merge support:
	* patch.c, common.h (apply_hunk): Make static again.
	* merge.c (compute_changes): New function for computing the
	difference between lines in a hunk and lines in the input file.
	(merge_result): We may have more than one result per hunk now.
	(merge_hunk): Merge the hunk with the compute_changes() result.
	* tests/merge: Better results now.

	* merge.c: Add license header.

	* merge.c (locate_merge): The number of changes allowed permits a
	higher maximum merge position (max_where).
	* tests/merge: Add a test for this case.

	* merge.c (merge_hunk): Add two missing checks that were leading into
	failed assertions.
	* tests/merge: Add test cases for each of these checks.

	* Makefile.in (install, uninstall): DESTDIR specifies a prefix to
	the root directory to install into.
	(installdirs): Merge with install.

2009-04-01  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* tests/test-lib.sh: When $GDB is set, run patch in gdbserver
	for debugging.
	* pch.c (another_hunk): Make the debug output easier to read.

2009-03-31  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.c: Split last_offset into in_offset and out_offset and
	count line numbers properly.
	* tests/line-numbers: Without the fixes, this test case goes
	horribly wrong.
	* Makefile.in (TESTS): Add test case.

2009-03-30  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	tests: accommodate ls' "alternate access control method" indicator
	ls can output an additional byte after a file's permissions string,
	e.g., rather than "rwxr--r-- ..." it can output "rwxr--r--+ ..."
	or "rwxr--r--. ..." to indicate the presence of an ACL.
	* tests/create-delete: Adjust sed filter to accommodate that.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Likewise.

2009-03-30  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* tests/test-lib.sh: Unset environment variables that influence
	the behavior of patch.
	* util.c (move_file): Add debug message when files have been seen
	already.  Fix leftover "empty uneadable" debug message.

	* patch.c (main): Print newline earlier.
	* util.c (copy_file): Add debug message.

2009-03-29  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* patch.c (locate_hunk): Hunks that have fewer or more lines of
	context at the beginning than at the end can match anywhere; the
	assumption that this can only occur at the beginning or end of the
	file is wrong. Remove those checks.
	* tests/asymmetric-hunks: New test case.
	* Makefile.in (TESTS): Add test case.

	* util.c (move_file): Create backup files of nonexisting files with
	the default mode instead of mode 0: files with mode 0 cause too many
	problems with applications which do not expect unreadable files.
	* tests/create-delete: Test for this.

	* Makefile.in (BROKEN_TESTS): Test cases which fail.

2009-03-28  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@suse.de>

	* pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Rename need_filename argument to
	need_header.  Omit superfluous "missing header" warnings.

	When remembering files including timestamps, we need to update the
	timestamps after appending to a file.  This causes problems on some
	systems where the timestamps returned by fstat() after appending are
	not up to date, yes.  We only remember timestamps as a compatibility
	hack with non-POSIX systems that do not have unique inode numbers;
	drop this hack instead.
	* timespec.h, m4/timespec.m4: Remove.
	* util.c: Remove timespec.h and all uses of struct timespec.
	(append_to_file): Remove REMEMBER argument; no need to update known
	files anymore.
	* util.h (append_to_file): Update definition.
	* Makefile.in: Remove timespec.h and m4/timespec.m4.

	* common.h (origsuff): New variable.
	* patch.c (main): Remember when -z was used.
	* util.c (contains_slash): New function.
	(move_file): Enforce simple backup mode and compute the backup file
	name here if -B, -Y, or -z is used.  Fix the case where -B or -Y is
	combined with -z.
	* patch.man: Document this change.
	* tests/backup-prefix-suffix: New test case.
	* Makefile.in (TESTS): Add test case.

	* tests/munged-context-format: New test case.
	* Makefile.in (TESTS): Add test case.

	* util.c (vsay): New function for use in say(), etc.
	(ok_to_reverse): Use vsay() here instead of fprintf() to ensure
	flushing.

	* pch.c (there_is_another_patch): Move the "patch would create" test
	here from intuit_diff_type() after asking for the filename to patch.
	* inp.c (get_input_file): No need to report when the file is missing;
	this is done in there_is_another_patch() already.
	* patch.c (main): No need to report when a patch attempts to create

	(i_size): Remove.
	(TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM): Define only if not already defined.

	Be less chatty unless --verbose.
	(get_input_file): New function, split off from plan_a.

	close failure, and use fstat not stat.  Use memcpy not strncpy.
	(plan_a): Rewrite for speed.
	Caller now assigns result to using_plan_a.
	Don't bother reading empty files; during dry runs they might not exist.
	Use ISSPACE, not isspace.

	correctly on arg.  Use POSIX symbol for open arg.

	* patch.c (backup, output, patchname, program_name): New vars.
	(last_frozen_line): Moved here from inp.h.
	(TMPREJNAME): Moved here from common.h.
	(optind_last): Removed.

	allow for files ending in non-newline.
	(Argv): Now char*const*.
	(main, get_some_switches): Exit status 0 means success,
	1 means hunks were rejected, 2 means trouble.

	Be less chatty unless --verbose.
	No more NODIR; always have version control available.
	Require environment variables to be nonempty to have effect.
	Add support for --dry-run, --output, --verbose.
	Invoke get_input_file first, before deciding among do_ed_script,
	plan_a, or plan_b.
	Clear ofp after closing it, to keep discipline that ofp is either
	0 or open, to avoid file descriptor leaks.  Conversely, rejfp doesn't
	need this trick since static analysis is enough to show when it
	needs to be closed.
	Don't allow file-creation patches to be applied to existing files.
	Misordered hunks are now not fatal errors; just go on to the next file.
	It's a fatal error to fall back on plan B when --output is given,
	since the moving hand has writ.
	Add support for binary files.
	Check for I/O errors.
	chmod output file ourselves, rather than letting move_file do it;
	this saves global state.
	Use better grammar when outputting hunks messages, e.g. avoid
	`1 hunks'.

	Remove support for multiple file arguments.
	Move get_some_switches call from reinitialize_almost_everything
	to main.

	return options and arguments in order.  '-b' no longer takes operand.
	-p's operand is no longer optional.  Add -i, -Y, -z.  Remove -S.
	(longopts): --suffix is now pared with -z, not -b.  --backup now
	means -b.  Add --input, --basename-prefix, --dry-run, --verbose.
	Remove --skip.  --strip's operand is now required.
	(option_help): New variable.  Use style of current coding standards.
	Change to match current option set.

	(get_some_switches): Get all switches, since `+' is defunct.
	New options -i, -Y, -z, --verbose, --dry-run.
	Option -S removed.
	-b now means backup (backup_type == simple), not simple_backup_suffix.
	-B now implies backup, and requires nonempty operand.
	-D no longer requires first char of argument to be an identifier.
	`-o -' is now disallowed (formerly output to regular file named "-").
	-p operand is now required.
	-v no longer needs to cleanup (no temp files can exist at that point).
	-V now implies backup.
	Set inname, patchname from file name arguments, if any;
	do not set filearg.  It's now an error if extra operands are given.
	(abort_junk): Check for write errors in reject file.
	(apply_hunk, copy_till): Return error flag, so that failure to apply
	out-of-order hunk is no longer fatal.
	(apply_hunk): New arg after_newline,
	for patching files not ending in newline.
	Cache ofp for speed.  Check for write errors.
	(OUTSIDE, IN_IFNDEF, IN_IFDEF, IN_ELSE): Now part of an enumerated type
	instead of being #defined to small integers.
	Change while-do to do-while when copying !-part for R_do_defines,
	since condition is always true the first time through the loop.
	(init_output, init_reject): Arg is now const *.
	(copy_till, spew_output): Do not insert ``missing'' newlines;
	propagate them via new after_newline argument.
	(spew_output): Nothing to copy if last_frozen_line == input lines.
	Do not close (ofp) if it's null.
	(dump_line): Remove.
	(similar): Ignore presence or absence of trailing newlines.
	Check for only ' ' or '\t', not isspace (as per POSIX.2).
	(make_temp): Use tmpnam if mktemp is not available.
	(cleanup): New function.
	(fatal_exit): Use it.  Renamed from my_exit.
	Take signal to exit with, not exit status (which is now always 2).

	* pch.h, pch.c (pch_prefix_context, pch_suffix_context):
	New fns replacing pch_context.
	(another_hunk): Now yields int, not bool; -1 means out of memory.
	Now takes difftype as argument.
	(pch_write_line): Now returns boolean indicating whether we're after
	a newline just after the write, for supporting non-text files.
	* pch.c (isdigit): Remove; use ISDIGIT instead.
	(INITHUNKMAX): Moved here from common.h.
	(p_context): Removed.  We need to keep track of the pre- and post-
	context separately, in:
	(p_prefix_context, p_suffix_context): New variables.
	(bestguess): Remove.
	(open_patch_file): Arg is now char const *.
	Copy file a buffer at a time, not a char at a time, for speed.
	(grow_hunkmax): Now returns success indicator.
	(there_is_another_patch, skip_to, another_hunk, do_ed_script):
	Be less chatty unless --verbose.
	(there_is_another_patch):
	Avoid infinite loop if user input keeps yielding EOF.
	(intuit_diff_type): New returns enum diff, not int.
	Strip paths as they're being fetched.
	Set ok_to_create_file correctly even if patch is reversed.
	Set up file names correctly with unidiff output.
	Use algorithm specified by POSIX 1003.2b/D11 to deduce
	name of file to patch, with the exception of patches
	that can create files.
	(skip_to): Be verbose if !inname, since we're about to ask the
	user for a file name and the context will help the user choose.
	(another_hunk): Keep context as LINENUM, not int.
	If the replacement is missing, calculate its context correctly.
	Don't assume input ends in newline.
	Keep track of patch prefix context separately from suffix context;
	this fixes several bugs.
	Don't assume blank lines got chopped if the replacement is missing.
	Report poorly-formed hunks instead of aborting.
	Do not use strcpy on overlapping strings; it's not portable.
	Work even if lines are incomplete.
	Fix bugs associated with context-less context hunks,
	particularly when patching in reverse.
	(pget_line): Now takes just 1 arg; instead of second arg,
	just examine using_plan_a global.  Return -1 if we ran out
	of memory.
	(do_ed_script): Now takes output FILE * argument.
	Take name of editor from ED_PROGRAM instead of hardwiring /bin/ed.
	Don't bother unlinking TMPOUTNAME.
	Check for popen failure.

	move the result.

	* util.h, util.c (say1, say2, say3, say4, fatal1, fatal2, fatal3,
	fatal4, pfatal1, pfatal2, pfatal3, pfatal4, ask1, ask2, ask3, ask4):

	and read from /dev/tty, or if that cannot be opened, from
	stderr, stdout, stdin, whichever is first a tty.
	Print "EOF" when an EOF is read.  Do not echo input.
	(sigs): New array.
	(sigset_t, sigemptyset, sigmask, sigaddset, sigismember, SIG_BLOCK,
	SIG_UNBLOCK, SIG_SETMASK, sigprocmask, sigblock, sigsetmask):
	Define substitutes if not available.
	(initial_signal_mask, signals_to_block): New vars.
	(fatal_exit_handler): New function, if !HAVE_SIGACTION.
	(set_signals, ignore_signals): Use sigaction and sigprocmask style
	signal-handling if possible; it doesn't lose signals.
	(set_signals): Default SIGCHLD to work around SysV fork+wait bug.
	(mkdir): First arg is now const *.
	(makedirs): Handle multiple adjacent slashes correctly.
	(fetchname): Do not worry about whether the file exists
	(that is now the caller's responsibility).
	Treat a sequence of one or more slashes like one slash.
	Do not unstrip leading directories if they all exist and if
	no -p option was given; POSIX doesn't allow this.
	(memcmp): Remove (now a macro in common.h).

	* version.c (copyright_string, free_software_msgid, authorship_msgid):
	New constants.
	(version): Use them.  Use program_name instead of hardwiring it.

	configure, to get the right args passed.

Thu Jul 29 07:46:16 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* The following changes remove all remaining fixed limits on memory,
	and fix bugs in patch's handling of null bytes and files that do not
	end in newline.  `Patch' now works on binary files.

	* backupfile.c (find_backup_file_name): Don't dump core if malloc fails.

	* EXTERN.h, INTERN.h (EXITING): New macro.
	* backupfile.[ch], patch.c, pch.c: Add PARAMS to function declarations.

	* common.h (bool): Change to int, so ANSI C prototype promotion works.

	* inp.c (tibufsize): New variable; buffers grow as needed.
	(TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM): New macro.
	(report_revision): New function.
	(plan_a): Do not search patch as a big string, since that fails
	if it contains null bytes.
	Prepend `./' to filenames starting with `-', for RCS and SCCS.
	If file does not match default RCS/SCCS version, go ahead and patch
	it anyway; warn about the problem but do not report a fatal error.
	(plan_b): Do not use a fixed buffer to read lines; read byte by byte
	instead, so that the lines can be arbitrarily long.  Do not search
	lines as strings, since they may contain null bytes.
	(plan_a, plan_b): Report I/O errors.

	* inp.c, inp.h (rev_in_string): Remove.
	(ifetch): Yield size of line too, since strlen no longer applies.

	(main): Use it.
	(main, spew_output, dump_line) Check for I/O errors.

	it's a regular file, since we can seek on it directly.
	(open_patch_file, skip_to, another_hunk): The patch file may contain
	NULs.
	(another_hunk): The patch file may contain lines starting with '\',
	which means the preceding line lacked a trailing newline.
	(pgetline): Rename to pget_line.
	(get_line, incomplete_line, pch_write_line): New functions.
	(pch_line_len): Return size_t, not short; lines may be very long.
	(do_ed_script): Check for I/O errors.  Allow scripts to contain
	'i' and 's' commands, too.

	* pch.h (pfp, grow_hunkmax, intuit_diff_type, next_intuit_at, skip_to,
	pfetch, pgetline): No longer exported.
	(pch_write_line): New declaration.
	(getline): Removed.

	* util.c (move_file, fetchname): Use private stat buffer, so that
	filestat isn't lost.  Check for I/O errors.
	(savestr): Use savebuf.
	(zask): Use STD*_FILENO instead of 0, 1, 2.
	(fetchname): strip_leading defaults to INT_MAX instead of 957 (!).

	* util.c, util.h (say*, fatal*, pfatal*, ask*): Delete; these
	pseudo-varargs functions weren't ANSI C.  Replace by macros
	that invoke [fs]printf directly, and invoke new functions
	[az]{say,fatal,pfatal,ask} before and after.
	(savebuf, read_fatal, write_fatal, memory_fatal, Fseek): New functions.
	(fatal*): Output trailing newline after message.  All invokers changed.

	* version.c (version): Don't exit.

	* common.h (BUFFERSIZE): Grow it to 8k too, just in case.
	(buf): Turn `buf' back into an array; making it a pointer broke

Fri Jun 25 07:49:45 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* backupfile.c (find_backup_file_name): Don't use .orig if
	numbered_existing with no existing numbered backup.
	(addext):  Don't use ext if !HAVE_LONG_FILE_NAMES,
	even if it would fit.  This matches patch's historical behavior.
	(simple_backup_suffix): Default to ".orig".
	* patch.c (main): Just use that default.

Tue Jun 15 22:32:14 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* Makefile.in (info, check, installcheck): New rules.

Sun Jun 13 14:31:29 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

Thu Jun 10 21:13:47 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* patchlevel.h: PATCH_VERSION 2.1.
	(The name `patch-2.0.12g12' is too long for traditional Unix.)

	* patchlevel.h (PATCH_VERSION): Renamed from PATCHLEVEL.
	Now contains the entire patch version number.
	* version.c (version): Use it.

Wed Jun  9 21:43:23 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* common.h: Remove declarations of index and rindex.

	put a zero-context hunk in the wrong place (one line too soon).
	Fixed a minor problem with p_max in unified diffs where it would
	set p_max to hunkmax unnecessarily (the only adverse effect was to

	on the command line).  From Paul Eggert.

	* pch.c (another_hunk): Fix from Wayne Davison to recognize
	single-line hunks in unified diffs (with a single line number
	instead of a range).

	* inp.c (rev_in_string): Don't use `s' before defining it.  From
	Wayne Davison.
