        * src/side.c (print_half_line): Don't convert to unsigned char
        unnecessarily.

        Don't mishandle multibyte characters in side-by-side format.
        Problem reported by Erik Karlsson in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2008-01/msg00030.html>.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add wcwidth.
        * src/side.c: Include <wchar.h>.
        (print_half_line): Compute number of bytes and print widths of
        multibyte characters.  Inspired by an alternative solution from
        Bruno Haible in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2008-01/msg00032.html>.

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

        (SUPPRESS_BLANK_EMPTY_OPTION): New constant.

        * configure.ac: Invoke gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS after gl_EARLY,
        since gnulib now requires this order.

        * bootstrap: Import from gnulib.

2007-08-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Break out diffseq.h into a separate file, so that gettext can use
        this code.  Idea and code from Bruno Haible.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add diffseq.
        * src/analyze.c (xvec, yvec, fdiag, bdiag, too_expensive, SNAKE_LIMIT):

        * src/diff.c (compare_files): Use last_component rather than base_name,
        adjusting to gnulib API change.  This avoids a memory leak.

        * src/util.c (dir_file_pathname): Likewise.

        * doc/diff.texi (Copying This Manual): Adjust to new fdl.texi layout.

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

        * doc/diff.texi (White Space): Note that newline always ends a line,
        so -w doesn't ignore newline-related changes.  Problem reported by
        David Kastrup.

2007-06-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add inttypes.
        * src/context.c (print_context_label): Don't assume that time_t
        fits in long int, since it doesn't in FreeBSD/arm.  Problem
        reported by Xin Li in
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2007-06/msg00091.html>.

2007-06-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/diff.texi (Merge Commands): Likewise.
        * src/sdiff.c (give_help): Give help for them.
        (edit): Support them.

2007-04-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * doc/diff.texi (Detailed diff3 Normal): "range is a singleton" ->
        "there is only one line", for clarity.  Suggested by Jerry Peek.

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

        * TODO: Mention possible sdiff improvement.

        * README-alpha: Remove, replacing with:
        * README-hacking: New file, taken from coreutils with some changes.
        The rename is required by the change to 'bootstrap'.

2006-11-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/analyze.c (build_reverse_script): Fix typo in comment.
        Problem and fix reported by Daniel Hipschman.

2006-11-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Don't assume SIGPIPE exists, and that sigblock and sigsetmask
        exist if sigprocmask does not.  Problem reported by Paul Edwards
        for MVS 3.8.
        * configure.ac (sigblock): Check whether this function is
        available, if sigprocmask is not.
        * src/sdiff.c (sigs): Omit SIGPIPE if it's not defined.
        Put SIGINT last; all uses changed.

        * src/sdiff.c (sigprocmask) [! HAVE_SIGPROCMASK]: Cast 2nd arg to
        sigset_t *, since it might be a literal 0.  Problem reported by
        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.
        * doc/diff.texi (Detailed Unified): Document this.
        * 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
        we now use inttypes.
        Include locale.h unconditionally.
        (setlocale): Remove, since we now assume locale.h.

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.
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove m4.  Put lib first, then other
        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.

        * m4/jm-glibc-io.m4: Remove.
        * 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):
        Use freopen instead of setmode, since freopen is in POSIX.
        (main): Don't complain about "diff -NUM'.

        * src/system.h: Include verify.h.
        (verify): Remove.  All uses changed to verify.h version.
        Include <intprops.h>.
        (TYPE_SIGNED, TYPE_MINIMUM, TYPE_MAXIMUM): Remove.  Now uses
        intprops.h versions.
        (O_BINARY): New defns, taken from coreutils.
        * src/util.c: Include sh-quote.h rather than quotesys.h.

        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.
        (pr_context_label, pr_context_header,

        last line is a single-dot line.

2004-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * lib/setmode.c:
        Don't include <stdbool.h>, since setmode.h now does this.

        a bug that lost many msgids in doc/diffutils.pot.
        * bootstrap: New file.
        * 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.

        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.
        (AC_C_CONST): Remove; we assume C89 now.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Remove libintl.h, limits.h, stdlib.h, string.h,

        (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Remove.

        * doc/diff.texi (dircategory): Change to "Text creation and
        manipulation" from "GNU packages".
        (Translations): New node.
        (Overview): Improve quality of algorithm citations.
        (Binary): -q doesn't exactly cause diff to assume files are binary.
        (Normal): Place after Side by Side, since it's less important.
        (Detailed Context, Detailed Unified, Detailed ed,
        Detailed if-then-else, diff3 Hunks, Detailed diff3 Normal):
        Place at end of menu.
        (Detailed Unified): Mention that fractional timestamps are
        omitted on hosts that don't support them.
        Mention what happens when hunks contain just one line.
        (Line Group Formats, Reject Names): Fix duplicate-word typos.
        (Comparing Directories): Trailing white space and empty lines are
        ignored in the -X file.
        (diff Options): Add --strip-trailing-cr.
        (Projects): gnu -> gvc@gnu.org.

        * lib/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove.

        (libdiffutils_a_SOURCES): Now just lib_SOURCES.
        (lib_SOURCES): New macro.
        (DISTCLEANFILES, MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Set to empty now.
        (gnulib.mk): Include: this does most of the work eliminated
        by the above changes.

        * lib/inttostr.c (inttostr): Protect i < 0 by compile-time
        test intended to suppress compiler warnings.
        * lib/inttostr.h: Include limits.h unilaterally.
        (CHAR_BIT): Remove.
        (PARAMS): Remove; all uses changed.
        * lib/setmode.c (__attribute__): New macro.
        (set_binary_mode): Define only if HAVE_SETMODE_DOS.
        Otherwise define a dummy static char, as C89 requires
        that we define something.
        * lib/setmode.h (set_binary_mode): Return true, not 1.

        * src/analyze.c, src/context.c, src/diff.c, src/io.c, src/util.c:
        Do not include regex.h, as diff.h does this now.

        * src/cmp.c: Sort includes.  Include <exit.h>, <unlocked-io.h>.
        (specify_comparison_type): Don't report an error if the comparison
        type has already been specified the same way as this one.

        * src/cmp.c (usage): Mention exit status.
        * src/diff.c (option_help_msgid): Likewise.
        * src/diff3.c (usage): Likewise.

        * src/cmp.c (main): Adjust to latest gnulib c_stack_action
        calling conventions.
        * src/diff.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/diff3.c (main): Likewise.
        * src/sdiff.c (main): Likewise.

        (main): Don't output nanoseconds if platform lacks them.
        Don't treat files as binary if !binary.
        (set_mtime_to_now): Use 0, not NULL.
        (compare_files): Mark files as nonexistent if it looks like
        'patch' created inaccessible regular empty files to denote
        nonexistent backups.  Don't compare such files.
        Clear st_* members of status of nonexistent file.
        Remove now-unnecessary tests.

        * src/diff.h: Include regex.h, unlocked-io.h.
        (struct file_data.changed): Now char *, not bool *, to save
        space on hosts where bool takes more space than char.
        All uses changed.

        * src/diff3.c: Include unlocked-io.h.
        (strip_trailing_cr): New var.
        (STRIP_TRAILING_CR_OPTION): New enum.
        (longopts, main, option_help_msgid, read_diff):
        Add --strip-trailing-cr support.
        (read_diff): Exit with status 126 (not 127) if errno != ENOENT
        after failed execvp in child.  Report this in parent.

        * src/dir.c: Include <strcase.h>.
        (failed_locale_specific_sorting): Renamed from failed_strcoll.
        All uses changed.
        (compare_names): Don't invoke strcasecmp first thing when
        ignore_file_name_case; if locale_specific_sorting, we should
        just use that.

        * src/ifdef.c (next_line): Remove; replace with...
        (next_line0, next_line1): New vars.
        (print_ifdef_script, print_ifdef_hunk):
        Use them to fix line-number computation bug.

        * src/io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Don't convert char *
        to unsigned char *; just leave pointers as char *.  This
        lessens the number of potentially-dangerous casts.
        * src/util.c (lines_differ): Likewise.

        * src/sdiff.c: Include <unlocked-io.h>, <exit.h>.
        (check_child_status): Renamed from ck_editor_status, and
        accept a new arg MAX_OK_STATUS.  All callers changed.
        Handle status 126/127 as per POSIX.
        (edit): Likewise.
        (main): Likewise.  Fix getopt typo: -E wasn't supported.

        * src/system.h (S_IRWXU, S_IRWXG, S_IRWXO): Define if not defined.
        (S_IXUSR, S_IXGRP, S_IXOTH): Remove.
        Include <time.h> unconditionally, since we can assume C89 now.
        Likewise for <stdlib.h>, <string.h>.
        (getenv, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, SSIZE_MAX, strchr, strrchr,
        memcmp, memcpy): Remove decl; no longer needed.
        (strcasecoll, strcasecmp): Define if not built in.
        (CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISPRINT, ISSPACE, TOLOWER, _tolower, errno): Remove;
        we now assume C89 or better.  All uses changed.
        Include <stdbool.h> unconditionally now, since gnulib supports it
        if the C compiler doesn't.  All boolean uses of 0 and 1 now
        changed to false and true.
        (lin_is_printable_as_long_int): Renamed from lin_is_printable_as_long.

        * src/util.c (begin_output): Fix bug: 0 wasn't cast to char * arg,
        which led to undefined behavior on 64-bit hosts.
        Use more-standard test for exit status 126 versus 127.
        (finish_output): Likewise.
        (analyze_hunk): Do not cast bool to int.

2004-03-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/cmp.c (main): Don't consider two files with the same name to
        be the same, if their initial skip values differ.  This fixes a
        bug reported by Hideki Iwamoto in
        <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-03/msg00024.html>.

2004-03-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/analyze.c (diag): Return void, not lin, since the return
        value wasn't needed.  All callers changed.
        (diag, diff_2_files):
        Use 'true' and 'false' instead of '1' and '0', when appropriate.
        (compareseq): Use lin const * local variables instead of lin *.
        Don't bother checking diag's return value.
        (shift_boundaries, build_reverse_script, build_script, diff_2_files):
        Use char arrays, not bool arrays, since
        sizeof (bool) might be greater than 1.

2004-02-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/setmode.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETMODE_DOS): AC_LIBOBJ(setmode) if
        we would return true.

2002-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/Makefile.am (diff3.$(OBJEXT), diff.$(OBJEXT),
        sdiff.$(OBJEXT)): Rename from (misspelled) diff3.$(OBJECT),
        diff.$(OBJECT), sdiff.$(OBJECT).  Patch by Paul D. Smith in
        <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-gnu-utils/2002-October/003251.html>.
        Bug reported by Chris Bainbridge.

2002-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/Makefile.am (MOSTLYCLEANFILES): Add paths.ht.
        (paths.h): Send output to paths.ht first, and then rename to
        paths.h at the end.  This avoids problems if the disk is full.
        It also works around what appears to be a bug with GNU make -j
        (3.79.1); see <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8934>.

2002-06-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

2002-06-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/fnmatch.c, lib/fnmatch_loop.c (WIDE_CHAR_SUPPORT):
        New macro.  Use it uniformly instead of
        (defined HAVE_WCTYPE_H && defined HAVE_WCHAR_H).
        It also uses HAVE_BTOWC, to fix a porting bug on Solaris 2.5.1
        reported by Vin Shelton.
        * m4/fnmatch.m4 (_AC_LIBOBJ_FNMATCH): Check for btowc.

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AC_INIT): Version 2.8.2.

        later compilations properly.
        (DEFAULT_DIFF_PROGRAM, AC_TYPE_SIGNAL): Remove.
        (jm_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T): Add.

        bit.  Jim Meyering suggested this.

        * lib/fnmatch.c (alloca, __builtin_expect): Define for non-GCC hosts.
        <strings.h>: Include only if HAVE_STRINGS_H.

        if neither _LIBC nor HAVE_WMEMPCPY.
        * lib/fnmatch_.h (__const): Do not define to empty, as this breaks
        Sun cc.  The code doesn't work with K&R anyway.

        as C89 requires this.
        (NEW_PATTERN): Use offsetof, not sizeof, since str now has size 1.
        * lib/fnmatch_.h: Import from glibc fnmatch.h.
        * lib/fnmatch.c, lib/fnmatch_loop.c: Import from glibc.

        AC__GNU_SOURCE).

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4 (AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T): Renamed from AC_MBSTATE_T.
        All uses changed.  Upgrade to recent Autoconf CVS.

        * m4/stdbool.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDBOOL): Do not cast pointer to
        bool in integer constant expression; C99 does not allow it.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * po/LINGUAS: Add hu, pt_BR.
        * po/hu.po, po/pt_BR.po: New files.

        maximum of multiple options rather than the last one.
        All uses changed.

        * src/cmp.c (bytes, specify_ignore_initial, cmp): Use UINTMAX_MAX

        that might result in an invalid comparison function that might
        make qsort dump core.
        (diff_dirs): Sort the directory ourselves.  Use setjmp to recover
        from strcoll failure, falling back on native byte comparison.
        Make local variables volatile if they need to preserve their value
        after setjmp/longjmp.

        * src/sdiff.c (handler_index_of_SIGINT, handler_index_of_SIGPIPE):

        * src/sdiff.c (interact): After extracting rlen from the editor
        command, test for a terminating null character, not for a newline.

        * ms/config.bat: Allow longer source directory names without
        overflowing the line length limits.  Create the cache in the
        build directory, not in the source directory

        Check for pclose failure properly.
        (main, edit): If child exec fails, exit with 127 rather than trying to
        print diagnostic.
        Distinguish between subsidiary program failing and not being found.

        (main): Use 130 instead of DEFAULT_WIDTH, since it's not really
        builder-settable.  Do not prepend DIFF_OPTIONS.
        (check-stdout): If fclose (stdout) fails, print errno info.
        (option_help_msgid): Default context is 3, not 2.

        * ms/README: New file.

        * lib/setmode.c (set_binary_mode) [HAVE_SETMODE_DOS]: Don't assume
        O_TEXT has a zero value.  If FD is a terminal device, do nothing
        and return MODE, thus pretending that it was already in the
        requested MODE.
        [HAVE_FCNTL_H]: Include fcntl.h (needed for O_BINARY).

        * ms/config.sed: Remove the split prevention of config.status.

        (group_format, line_format): Now char const *[], not char *[].

        (struct file_data): Buffer is now word*, not char*, as it's always
        aligned and this can help the compiler.  buffered_chars -> buffered
        (since it's a byte count, not a char count).  All uses changed.
        New member `eof'.

        (FILE_BUFFER): New macro.

Mon Nov 14 05:10:56 1994  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Add internationalization support.
        Several messages have been changed slightly,
        to make them more consistent and easier to translate.
        All strings that are messages are passed through gettext once before
        being used, so that they can be localized.
        Each function and macro whose first parameter is a gettext msgid
        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.

        * pc/COPYING, pc/INSTALL, pc/config.h,
        pc/djgpp/config.h, pc/djgpp/makefile.sed,

        (realclean): Clean messages.po, version.*.
        (dist): Just build $D.tar.gz.
        ($D.tar.gz): New file, takes over old `dist' function.

        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add libintl.h, locale.h.
        (AC_CHECK_LIB): Check for -lintl.

        * analyze.c (briefly_report): Rewrite `message (A?"B":"C")' as
        `if (A) message ("B") : message ("C")'; this is for getmsgids.
        (briefly_report, diff_2_files): For label, use file_label if set.
        * diff.c (compare_files): Likewise.

        (usage): Use it, so message is translated one option at a time.
        * sdiff (help_msgid, give_help): Likewise.

        * cmp.c (sprintc): Renamed from `printc'.
        Now outputs to a buffer instead of stdout.
        (cmp): Use new sprintc; it's easier to internationalize.

        * diff.c (main): -D FOO now outputs `/* ! FOO */ instead of
        `/* not FOO */'.

        * sdiff.c (version_string): Fix decl typo: `const' was missing.
        (trapsigs): Ignore sigaction failure, to be compatible with `signal'.

        * util.c (struct msg, message5, print_message_queue):
        Allocate just one block of memory to save a message.

Wed Nov  9 17:42:44 1994  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * sdiff.c (trapsigs): Don't check signal return value, since it's

        (function_regexp_list, ignore_regexp_list): Likewise, for vars.

        * context.c (find_function): Simplify interface:
        don't return size of function line.  All callers changed.
        (print_context_script, find_function): INT_MAX now denotes no
        previous match; this is simpler than `- file->prefix_lines - 1'.

        * diff3.c (read_diff): Quote arguments with system_quote_arg.
        * sdiff.c (main): Use system_quote_arg to compute command.

        * system.h (_tolower): Define if not already defined.
        * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Change tolower to _tolower; this

        * util.c (line_cmp): Likewise.
        * ifdef.c (groups_letter_value): Likewise.

        * diff.h (ignore_some_line_changes): Remove.  All users changed.
        * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Don't invoke line_cmp if the length
        differs and -i is in force.  Don't assume ISSPACE ('\n') is nonzero.

        * diff.h (xmalloc_exit_failure): New variable.
        All `main' programs set this variable at the start.
        xmalloc and xrealloc are now taken from GNU library.
        * cmp.c (main): Align buffer size to word size; some mallocs care.
        * io.c (slurp): Likewise.
        * diff.c (add_exclude): Can now assume xrealloc (0, ...) works.

        that are incompatible with Posix applications.

        * util.c (dir_file_pathname): Use filename_lastdirchar not strrchr.
        * sdiff.c (expand_name): Likewise.

Tue Sep 13 18:46:43 1994  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * configure.in (AC_FUNC_MEMCHR): Remove.  Autoconf didn't adopt this,
        since we need not worry about an old experimental library
        where memchr didn't work.
        (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.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add string.h; regex.c uses on some old hosts.

        * system.h (memcmp): Define in terms of bcmp.
        Use HAVE_MEMCHR to test for all mem* routines.

        * Makefile.in (srcs): Remove memcmp.c.
        We use bcmp if memcmp doesn't work, since we only test for equality.

Mon Sep 12 15:52:22 1994  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Rename config.h.in to config.hin.
        (AC_ISC_POSIX, AC_MINIX): Go back to these old names for Autoconf 2.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Remove now-redundant check for <string.h>.
        (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Check for strchr.
        (AC_FUNC_MEMCHR, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP, AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Use special-purpose
        macros when suitable.
        * memcmp.c: New file.
        * Makefile.in (CPPFLAGS, DEFS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, prefix, exec_prefix):
        Default to autoconf-specified strings.
        (COMPILE): Use the defaults.
        (srcs): Add memcmp.c.
        (distfiles): Rename config.h.in->config.hin, install.sh->install-sh.
        (Makefile, config.h, config.hin, config.status): Rework for
        compatibility with Autoconf 2.
        * io.c (binary_file_p): Assume non-broken memchr.
        * memchr.c: Assume compiler understands void *; otherwise
        we don't match GCC's internal declaration of memchr.
        * system.h: Use more modern autoconf approach to standard C headers.
        * version.c: Include <config.h>, not "config.h".

        * diff.c, diff.h (ignore_some_line_changes):
        New variable; replaces `length_varies'.
        (line_end_char): Replace with '\n'; it wasn't being used consistently.

        * 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>

        * configure.in: Revamp for Autoconf 2.

        (srcs): Add memchr.c, waitpid.c.
        (distfiles): Add install.sh, memchr.c, waitpid.c, install.sh.
        * system.h: Use Autoconf 2 style HAVE_DIRENT_H etc. macros for dirs.
        * dir.c (dir_sort): Prefer NAMLEN (p) to strlen (p->d_name).
        Change VOID_CLOSEDIR to CLOSEDIR_VOID for Autoconf 2.
        * sdiff.c, util.c (memchr, waitpid): Remove; use new substitutes.
        * diff3.c (read_diff): Use new waitpid substitute.

        * cmp.c, diff.c, diff3.c, sdiff.c (check_stdout, try_help): New fns.
        (usage): Just print more detailed usage message; let caller exit.
        * diff.c (option_help): New variable.
        (filetype): Add Posix.1b file types.

Fri Sep  2 16:01:49 1994  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * configure.in: Switch to new autoconf names.  Add sys/file.h test.
        * Makefile.in (distclean): Clean config.cache, config.log
        (used by new autoconf).

        * diff.c, diff3.c, (main), sdiff.c (trapsigs): If we'll have children,
        make sure SIGCHLD isn't ignored.

        * diff3.c (DIFF_CHUNK_SIZE): Removed.  Get size from STAT_BLOCKSIZE.
        (INT_STRLEN_BOUND): New macro.

        * ifdef.c (format_group, groups_letter_value):
        Use * instead of [] in prototypes.

        * system.h: Include <sys/file.h> only if HAVE_SYS_FILE_H.
        (S_IXGRP, S_IXOTH, S_IXUSR): Remove unused macros.

        * util.c (begin_output): Check fdopen result.

        The following changes simplify porting to non-Posix environments.
        * cmp.c, diff.c, diff3.c, sdiff.c, (main): Call initialize_main first.
        * diff.c (binary_I_O): New variable for --binary option.
        (main, usage, compare_files): Support --binary option.
        (compare_files): Use filename_lastdirchar to find last
        directory char in a file name.
        * cmp.c (main), diff.c (compare_files), dir.c (compare_names,
        diff_dirs): Use filename_cmp to compare file names.
        Use same_file to determine whether two files are the same.
        * context.c (print_context_label): Check whether ctime yields 0.
        * diff3.c (read_diff), sdiff.c (cleanup, main, waitpid),
        util.c (begin_output): Use popen+pclose if !HAVE_FORK.
        * io.c (sip): If HAVE_SETMODE, test for binary files in O_BINARY mode.
        * sdiff.c (ck_fdopen): Function removed.
        (edit): Use system if !HAVE_FORK.
        (execdiff): Now assumes caller has pushed all args, plus trailing 0.
        All callers changed.
        (private_tempnam): Try TMP if TMPDIR isn't defined.
        Fit temporary filenames into 8.3 limit.
        * system.h (STAT_BLOCKSIZE): Don't define if already defined.
        (min, max): Undef if already defined.
        (filename_cmp, filename_lastdirchar, HAVE_FORK, HAVE_SETMODE,
        initialize_main, O_BINARY, same_file): New macros.

Fri Jun 17 11:23:53 1994  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Makefile.in (info, dvi, diff.dvi): New targets.
        (clean): Remove TeX output files.

Fri Jun 17 05:37:52 1994  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * cmp.c, io.c (word): Change from typedef to #define, to avoid
        collision with Unicos 8.0 <sys/types.h>, which also typedefs `word'.

Thu Apr 15 00:53:01 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
        with the prototype parameter type; this doesn't work on
        Apollos running bsd4.3.

Mon Jan  3 02:05:51 1994  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * Makefile.in (LDFLAGS): Remove -g.  Change all link commands
        to use both $(CFLAGS) and $(LDFLAGS).

Mon Dec 13 12:23:27 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * system.h: Don't assume dirent.h exists just because
        _POSIX_VERSION is defined.

Fri Dec  3 18:39:39 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff.c (main): allow -pu.

Wed Nov 10 00:28:27 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * Version 2.6 released.

        * analyze.c (too_expensive): New variable, for heuristic to
        limit the worst-case cost to O(N**1.5 log N) at the price of
        producing suboptimal output for large inputs with many differences.
        (diff_2_files): Initialize it.
        (struct partition): New type.
        (SNAKE_LIMIT): New macro; merely documents already-used number 20.
        (diag): New `minimal' arg; all callers changed.  Put results into
        struct partition.  Apply `too_expensive' heuristic.  Tune.
        (compareseq): New `minimal' arg; all callers changed.  Tune.
        (shift_boundaries): Improve heuristic to also coalesce adjacent runs
        of changes more often.

        * diff.c (long_options, main, usage): Add `--help'.
        (main): Send version number to stdout, not stderr.
        (usage): Send usage to stdout, not stderr.
        (compare_files): Initialize `inf' properly.

        * io.c (word): Change to `int'; it makes a big difference on x86.
        (sip, slurp): Put off allocating room to hold the whole file until we
        have to read the whole file.  This wins if the file turns out
        to be binary.

        * util.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): "virtual memory" -> "memory"
        (primes): Omit large primes if INT_MAX is small.

        (long_options, main, usage): Add `--help'.
        (read_diff): Detect integer overflow in buffer size calculations.

        * cmp.c (word): New type.  All uses of `long' for
        word-at-a-time comparisons changed to `word'.
        (long_options, main, usage): Add `--help'.
        (usage): Send usage to stdout, not stderr.
        (main): Add `-v'.  Send version number to stdout, not stderr.

        * configure.in (AC_HAVE_HEADERS): Add unistd.h; remove AC_UNISTD_H.

Mon Sep 27 07:20:24 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff.c (add_exclude_file): Cast memchr to (char *)
        to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.

        * Makefile.in (cmp): Add version.o.

        * analyze.c (diff_2_files): Work around memcmp bug with size=0.

        * cmp.c (main, usage, version_string): Add --version option.

        * system.h (malloc, realloc): Declare only if !HAVE_STDLIB_H.
        (memchr): Declare only if !HAVE_MEMCHR.  These changes are
        needed to keep some nonstandard hosts happy.

        * util.c (memchr): Make first arg char const *
        to match standard.
        (xmalloc, xrealloc): Cast malloc, realloc
        to (VOID *) to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.

        * diff3.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): Cast malloc, realloc

        * sdiff.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): Cast malloc, realloc
        to (VOID *) to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.
        (lf_copy, lf_skip, lf_snarf): Cast memchr to (char *)
        to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.
        (memchr): Make first arg char const *
        to match standard.

Mon Sep 27 00:23:37 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * Version 2.5 released.

        * analyze.c (diff_2_files): Work around memcmp bug with size=0.

        * cmp.c (main, usage, version_string): Add --version option.
        * Makefile.in (cmp): Add version.o.

        * diff.c (add_exclude_file): Cast memchr to (char *)
        to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.
        * sdiff.c (lf_copy, lf_skip, lf_snarf): Likewise.

        * diff3.c, sdiff.c, util.c (xmalloc, xrealloc): Cast malloc, realloc
        to (VOID *) to suppress bogus warnings on some nonstandard hosts.

        to match standard.

        * system.h (malloc, realloc): Declare only if !HAVE_STDLIB_H.

        needed to keep some nonstandard hosts happy.

        * xmalloc.c: Include <sys/types.h> always; some nonstandard hosts
        need it for size_t even if STDC_HEADERS.

Sat Sep 18 01:33:07 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * configure.in (AC_STAT_MACROS_BROKEN): Add.
        * system.h (S_IS{BLK,CHR,DIR,FIFO,REG,SOCK}): Fix defns if
        STAT_MACROS_BROKEN.

        * Makefile.in (diff3, sdiff, cmp): Do not link $(ALLOCA).

        * analyze.c (discard_confusing_lines): Make defn static, like decl.
        * sdiff.c (xmalloc): Likewise.

        * ifdef.c (format_group): Ensure isdigit argument isn't < 0.

        * side.c (print_half_line): Use isprint, since some hosts lack isgraph.
        * util.c (output_1_line): Likewise.  Ensure its argument isn't < 0.
        (xmalloc, xrealloc): Remove needless casts.

        * system.h (volatile, const):
        Define these before including any system headers,
        so that they're used consistently in all system includes.
        (getenv, malloc, realloc): Declare even if HAVE_STDLIB_H, since some
        <stdlib.h>s don't declare them.
        (memchr): Likewise for <string.h>.

        * cmp.c, diff3.c, diff.h, sdiff.c: Include "system.h" first.
        * diff.c: Remove redundant "system.h" inclusion.

        * diff3.c (xmalloc): Now static.
        (xmalloc, realloc): Remove needless casts.
        (READNUM): Ensure isdigit argument isn't negative.

Wed Sep 14 07:14:15 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * Version 2.4 released.

        * ifdef.c (scan_char_literal): New function, for new %c'x' and
        %c'\ooo' format specs.
        (format_group, print_ifdef_lines): Use it.  Remove %0 format spec.

        * cmp.c (cmp): Don't try to read past end of file; this doesn't
        work on ttys.

        * system.h, version.c: #include <config.h>, not "config.h", to allow
        configuring in a separate directory when the source directory has
        already been configured.
        * Makefile.in (COMPILE): New defn, with proper -I options so that
        `#include <config.h>' works.
        (.c.o, diff3.o, sdiff.o): Use it.

Mon Sep 13 06:45:43 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff.c (main, longopts): Add --line-format=FORMAT option.
        (specify_format): Args no longer const pointers.  All callers changed.

        * 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.

        * diff.h (group_format, line_format): No longer const pointers.
        (format_ifdef): 1st arg is no longer const pointer.

        * configure.in: Configure HAVE_LIMITS_H, HAVE_STDLIB_H.
        * system.h <limits.h>, <stdlib.h>, <string.h>:
        Include only if HAVE_LIMITS_H etc.

        * system.h (memcmp, memcpy, strchr, strrchr, struct dirent): Prefer
        these standard names to the traditional names (bcmp, bcpy, index,
        rindex, struct direct).  All callers changed.

        * system.h (PARAMS, VOID):
        Define earlier so that malloc decl can use VOID.
        (STAT_BLOCKSIZE): Simplify ersatz defn; just use 8K.

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

        * diff.c (compare_files): Two files with the same name must be
        the same file; avoid a needless `stat' in that case.

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):

        (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,

        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'
        with `[ TEST ] || ACTION || exit' so that the containing for-loop exits
        with proper status for `make'.

Thu Jul  8 19:47:22 1993  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        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
        merely due to ignored changes.
        (main):  Set ignore_some_changes if we might ignore some changes.
        Remove unsystematic assignment of 0 to static vars.
        * io.c (read_files): New argument PRETEND_BINARY says whether to
        pretend the files are binary.

        * diff3.c (tab_align_flag): New variable, for new -T option.
        (main, usage, output_diff3): Add support for -T.

        * diff3.c (main, process_diff, read_diff): Invoke second diff
        with --horizon-lines determined by the first diff.

        * Version 2.2 released.

        * system.h [HAVE_STRING_H || STDC_HEADERS] (index, rindex): Don't
        define if already defined.

Wed Feb 17 17:08:00 1993  Roland McGrath  (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Makefile.in (srcs): Remove limits.h.

Thu Feb 11 03:36:00 1993  Richard Stallman  (rms@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * diff3.c (xmalloc): No longer static.

        * sdiff.c (edit): Allocate buf dynamically.

        * Makefile.in (.c.o, diff3.o, sdiff.o): Put $(CFLAGS) last.

Wed Feb  3 15:42:10 1993  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * system.h: Don't #define const; let configure do it.

Mon Feb  1 02:13:23 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@hal.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Version 2.1 released.

        * Makefile.in (dist): Survive ln failures.  Create .tar.z
        (gzipped tar) file as well as .tar.Z (compressed tar) file.

Fri Jan  8 22:31:41 1993  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * side.c (print_half_line): When the input position falls
        outside the column, do not output a tab even if the output
        position still falls within the column.

Tue Nov 24 10:06:48 1992  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Makefile.in: Note change from USG to HAVE_STRING_H.

Mon Nov 23 18:44:00 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): When running out of lines,
        double the number of allocated lines, instead of just doubling
        that number minus the prefix lines.  This is more likely to
        avoid the need for further memory allocation.

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

        * dir.c (dir_sort): Plug memory leak: space holding directory
        contents was not being reclaimed.  Get directory size from
        struct file_data for initial guess at memory needed.
        Detect errors when reading and closing directory.
        (diff_dirs): Pass struct file_data to dir_sort.  Finish plugging leak.
        * diff.c (compare_files): Pass struct file_data to diff_dirs.

        * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Don't assume alloc_lines is
        nonzero when allocating more lines.

Thu Nov 12 16:02:18 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff.c (main): Add `-U lines' as an alias for `--unified=lines'.

        * diff3.c (usage): Add third --label option in example.

        * util.c (analyze_hunk): Fix test for ignoring blank lines.

        * configure.in, system.h: Avoid USG; use HAVE_TIME_H etc. instead.

Mon Nov  9 05:13:25 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff3.c (main, usage): Add -A or --show-all.
        -m now defaults to -A, not -E.  Allow up to three -L options.
        (output_diff3_edscript, output_diff3_merge):
        Remove spurious differences between these two functions.
        Output ||||||| for -A.  Distinguish between conflicts and overlaps.
        (dotlines, undotlines): New functions that output `Ns', not `N,Ns'.
        (output_diff3_edscript, output_diff3_merge): Use them.

        * io.c (find_identical_ends): shift_boundaries needs an extra
        identical line at the end, not at the beginning.

        * sdiff.c (edit): execvp wants char **, not const char **.

Mon Oct 19 04:39:32 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * context.c (print_context_script, find_function): Context
        line numbers start with - file->prefix_lines, not 0.

        * io.c (binary_file_p): Undo last change; it was a library bug.

Sun Oct 18 00:17:29 1992  Richard Stallman  (rms@mole.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * 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.
        * diff.h, ifdef.c (default_line_format): New variable.
        * util.c (output_1_line): New function.
        (print_1_line): Use it.

        * 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
        of lines all at once for speed.
        (print_ifdef_script, print_ifdef_hunk): Use it.

Thu Sep 24 05:54:14 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

        * diff.c (main): Support new -D options for if-then-else formats.
        (specify_format): New function.
        * diff.h (ifndef_format, ifdef_format, ifnelse_format): New variables.
        * ifdef.c (print_ifdef_hunk): Use the new variables instead of
        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
        prototype for wait in sys/wait.h.

Wed Sep 16 12:32:18 1992  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Makefile.in: Include binprefix in -DDIFF_PROGRAM.

Tue Sep 15 14:27:25 1992  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * Version 2.0.

Sat Sep 12 01:31:19 1992  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * util.c, diff.h, system.h [!HAVE_MEMCHR]: Don't use void *
        and const when declaring memchr replacement.  Declare memchr
        if !STDC_HEADERS && !USG.

Thu Sep 10 15:17:32 1992  David J. MacKenzie  (djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu)

        * 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.

Fri Jul 14 17:39:20 1989  Chris Hanson  (cph at kleph)

        * analyze.c: To make RCS work correctly on files that don't
        necessarily end in newline, introduce some changes that cause
        diffs to be sensitive to missing final newline.  Because
        non-RCS modes don't want to be affected by these changes, they
        are conditional on `output_style == OUTPUT_RCS'.
        (diff_2_files) [OUTPUT_RCS]: Suppress the "File X missing
        newline" message.
        (build_script) [OUTPUT_RCS]: Cause the last line to compare as
        different if exactly one of the files is missing its final
        newline.

        * io.c (find_and_hash_each_line): Bug fix in
        ignore_space_change mode.  Change line's length to include the
        newline.  For OUTPUT_RCS, decrement last line's length if
        there is no final newline.
        (find_identical_ends) [OUTPUT_RCS]: If one of the files is
        missing a final newline, make sure it's not included in either
        the prefix or suffix.

        * util.c (print_1_line): Change line output routine to account
        for line length including the newline.

Tue Jun 27 02:35:28 1989  Roland McGrath  (roland at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

        first.

        * diff3.c: Many trivial changes to spelling inside comments.

Fri Feb 24 12:38:03 1989  Randall Smith  (randy at gluteus.ai.mit.edu)

        * util.c, normal.c, io.c, ed.c, dir.c, diff.h, diff.c, context.c,
        analyze.c, Makefile: Changed copyright header to conform with new

Fri Feb 10 01:28:15 1989  Richard Stallman  (rms at sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)

        * diff.c (main): -C now takes arg to specify context length.
        Now -p to show C function name--Damned IEEE!
        Fatal error if context length spec'd twice.

        * ed.c (print_ed_hunk): Now special treatment only for lines containing
        precisely a dot and nothing else.  Output `..', end the insert,
        substitute that one line, then resume the insert if nec.

        * io.c (find_and_hash_lines): When backing up over starting context,
        don't move past buffer-beg.

        * io.c (find_identical_ends): Use sentinels to make the loops faster.

        * dir.c (dir_sort): Open-trouble not fatal; just say # files is -1.
        (diff_dirs): If dir_sort does that, give up and return 2.

        * diff.c (compare_files): Don't open directories.
        Don't close them specially either.
        Cross-propagate inf[i].dir_p sooner.

Sun Nov 13 11:19:36 1988  Richard Stallman  (rms at sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu)

        * diff.h: Declare index, rindex.

        out.

        * diff3.c: Included USG compatibility defines.

        wanted on System V).

        * ed.c, analyze.c, context.c: Shortened names to 12 characters for
        the sake of System V (too simple not to do).
