	Fix dodgy assert with side-effects in insert_cached_dirfd
	Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> reported that patch was running out of
	FDs and that the `deep-directories` test was failing. This turns out
	to be because `hash_insert` isn't called at all with `-DNDEBUG` because
	`insert_cached_dirfd` only calls it in one case inside of an `assert`.

	See https://github.com/conda-forge/patch-feedstock/issues/11.

	This regressed in 025a54b789bd88ed15430f8633514e296826983e.

	* src/safe.c (insert_cached_dirfd): Don't use 'assert' for 'hash_insert'
	  call with side-effects.

2025-02-06  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

	Declare an expected test failure on Haiku.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add test-xfail.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Add a comment regarding Haiku.
	* tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): On Haiku, add preserve-mode-and-timestamp.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

2025-02-05  Bruno Haible  <bruno@clisp.org>

	Fix two test failures on Haiku.
	On Haiku, all error numbers are negative, see
	<https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/errno_002eh.html>.

	Bisected by Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@gentoo.org>.

	This partially reverts commit 043355371a76de8ea7d06f79a69fde905af7cc45.

	* src/inp.c (get_input_file):
	* src/patch.c (main):
	* src/safe.c (read_symlink):
	* src/util.c (move_file):
	Don't assume that all system-defined errno values are positive.

	Check for newlines only when creating a file name
	Also, check only the last file name component.
	In other words, mimic operating systems that follow POSIX.1-2024’s
	encouragement to fail with EILSEQ when openat etc. create a file name.
	This is more conservative than the previous patch to prohibit
	newlines in file names.
	* src/patch.c (main, backup_file_name_option, get_some_switches):
	* src/util.c (parse_c_string, make_tempfile):
	Don’t check for newlines in a file name unless we are definitely
	creating a file, as it’s harmless to read and stat file with
	newlines in their names if the OS allows that.
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path, traverse_path): New arg
	REJECT_NL.  If set, reject any file name whose last component
	contains a newline.  Also, do not do traversal if unsafe.  All
	callers changed to pass true if they are creating the file name,
	false otherwise, and to not bother checking whether we are unsafe.
	(safe_open): Special case for when O_CREAT is set but O_EXCL is not.
	* src/util.c (pfatal): Report "Invalid byte sequence" for EILSEQ.
	This POSIX wording is less confusing than glibc's "Invalid or
	incomplete multibyte or wide character".  Also, this lets
	the test cases check for this wording.
	* tests/bad-filenames: Adjust to new diagnostic wording.

2025-01-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Gnulib renamed some modules
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules):
	Adjust to recent module renaming in Gnulib.

	maint: update bootstrap from gnulib

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	maint: make update-copyright

2024-11-20  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Set --no-backup-if-mismatch when in --posix mode
	When in POSIX mode, the --no-backup-if-mismatch option should be
	enabled.  However, this is only true when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
	environmant variable is set but not when the --posix command line
	option is given.  Fix that by setting backup_if_mismatch after
	evaluating the command line arguments.

2024-11-11  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Add missing feature tests to the test suite
	Check for chmod, hardlink, symlink, and special character support to
	prevent test suite failures in feature constrained environments.

	Thanks to Bruno Haible and Nelson H. F. Beebe for their testing and
	analysis.

	* tests/test-lib.sh: Add new feature tests.
	* tests/hardlinks: Split this hardlinks related test off from
	tests/remember-backup-files.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new hardlinks test here.
	* tests/file-create-modes, tests/file-modes, tests/read-only-files,
	tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp, tests/no-mode-change-git-diff: These
	tests require chmod support.
	* tests/hardlinks, tests/unmodified-files: These tests require hardlink
	support.
	* tests/symlinks: This test requires symlink support.
	* tests/quoted-filenames: This test requires special character support
	in filenames.

2024-10-11  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Disable release-prep
	* cfg.mk: Disable release-prep by overriding the release-prep-hook for
	now.  With that, "make release" succeeds for alpha releases.

2024-10-11  Eli Schwartz  <eschwartz@gentoo.org>

	Fix "make release" to handle alpha releases
	news-check-regexp to scan for unreleased changes, has to be set
	conditional on the release type. It has to be defined in cfg.mk, not
	Makefile.am, so key off of the RELEASE_TYPE as automake conditionals are
	not available.

2024-10-11  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Add announce-gen module for "make release"
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen.

2024-09-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Pacify gcc -fsanitize=address
	Some of this merely pacifies -fsanitize=address by pointing
	to storage rather than freeing it when we are about to exit anyway.
	Other parts of it keep track of storage more carefully so that it
	can be freed rather than leak.
	* src/common.h (struct outfile): New member ‘alloc’.
	* src/patch.c (files_to_output_root) [SANITIZE_ADDRESS]:
	New externally visible variable, to pacify -fsanitize=address.
	(main): Use new functions described below to remove
	files and free memory.
	(delete_files): Do not free the list as we go, as we are about
	to exit and -fsanitize=address doesn’t care about this storage.
	(output_file_later): Set and use new member ‘alloc’ to avoid
	memory leaks.
	(output_files): WIth -fsanitize=address, record the list head
	in files_to_output_root that the address sanitizer can see,
	so that it won’t complain when we don’t free storage just before exit.
	Free only when not exiting, and free using ‘alloc’ rather than ‘name’.
	(perfile_cleanup_remove): New function.
	(cleanup_remove): Rename from ‘cleanup’.  All uses changed.
	Reimplement in terms of perfile_cleanup_remove.
	(free_outfile_name, perfile_cleanup_free): New functions.
	* src/util.c (make_tempfile): Set new member ‘alloc’.

	Fix memory leak when malformed unidiff patch
	* src/pch.c (another_hunk): Fix memory leak when scanning a
	unidiff patch malformed due to a line that does not begin with
	‘ ’, ‘-’, ‘+’, or ‘=’.

	Port to clang address sanitizer
	* src/patch.c (FREE_BEFORE_EXIT): Port to clang, which
	uses __has_feature (address_sanitizer) instead of
	defined __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__.  Also, rename this to
	SANITIZE_ADDRESS since it is really about -fsanitize=address
	rather than freeing before exit and as subsequent patches
	will show there are simpler ways to pacify -fsanitize=address.
	All uses changed.

	Refactor argc+argv processing
	* src/patch.c (Argc, Argv): Remove these confusing static variables.
	They date back to before the code used getopt_long,
	and are no longer needed.  All uses changed.
	(get_some_switches): New args argc+argv, which are now used
	instead of the static vars.  All uses changed.

	Omit needless get_some_switches code
	* src/patch.c (get_some_switches): Remove unnecessary
	initialization and testing.

2024-09-18  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Revert "Remove obsolete require_gnu_diff function"
	Oops, function require_gnu_diff is still needed in two places.

	This reverts commit 8cae4fc2213649e36e8f9a4cf21c28a82de3705c.

2024-09-18  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Remove obsolete require_gnu_diff function
	* tests/test-lib.sh (require_gnu_diff): Remove.

2024-09-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	savebuf can return a null pointer
	* src/util.h (savebuf): Do not declare with ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL.
	Bug caught by gcc -fsanitize=undefined.

	Spelling fixes

	Port other reject-format test to non-GNU diff
	* tests/reject-format: Also don’t assume GNU diff
	for the ab.diff file.  Problem discovered on Solaris 11.4.

	Don’t be fooled by NUL bytes in diff directives
	* src/pch.c (get_line, pget_line): New arg ALLOW_NUL.
	It is true when getting data lines, which can contain NUL,
	but false when getting ‘diff’ directives, which cannot.
	All uses changed.
	* tests/bad-filenames: Check that ‘patch’ rejects
	directives containing NUL.

	Don’t be fooled by "\000" in file name
	* src/util.c (parse_c_string): Don’t be tricked by perverse
	C-style quoted strings containing backslash, '0', '0', '0'.
	* tests/quoted-filenames: Test this.

	Port to quasi-GNU diff
	Problem reported by Jim Meyering: ‘diff’ acted like GNU diff,
	and generated correct output, but the output differed slightly
	from what the test wanted.  As the output of ‘diff’ is not
	completely determined from its input, it’s better to put
	the desired ‘diff’ output directly in the test when the test
	depends on the exact output.
	* tests/preserve-c-function-names, tests/reject-format:
	Do not require GNU diff or use ‘diff’.
	Instead, cat the desired ‘diff’ output.

2024-09-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	In previous patch, make w_q static

	Pacify -Wunterminated-string-initialization
	Problem reported by Jim Meyering.
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script): Pacify bleeding-edge GCC
	-Wunterminated-string-initialization.

2024-09-17  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Spelling fixes
	Prefer 'timestamp' over 'time stamp'.

	Remove double semicolon
	* src/safe.c (remove_cached_dirfd): Remove a stray double semicolon.

	Prefer angle bracket headers
	* src/util.h: Prefer angle brackets for gnulib header files.

	Update more old copyright notices
	* configure.ac: Replace the old copyright notice with the current
	version from COPYING.
	* ChangeLog-2011: Likewise.

2024-09-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Simplify memory allocation of files to delete
	This pacifies ‘make sc_cast_of_argument_to_free’, which otherwise
	complains about the ‘free ((void *) elt)’ in dispose_file_to_delete.
	Rather than worry about pacifying that ‘make’ rule,
	simplify memory allocation by doing the linked list by hand,
	with a ‘next’ member the way our grandfathers did it.
	This reduces the number of source code lines by 23,
	removes the need for Gnulib’s linked-list and xlist modules,
	and makes the code type-safer (as opposed to going through void *).
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove linked-list, xlist.
	* src/patch.c: Do not include gl_linked_list.h, gl_xlist.h.
	(struct file_to_delete): New member ‘next’.
	(files_to_delete): Now struct file_to_delete *, not gl_list_t.
	(dispose_file_to_delete, init_files_to_delete):
	Remove; no longer needed.
	(files_to_delete_tail): New static var.
	(delete_file_later): Append the new file by hand.
	(delete_files): Iterate and free by hand.

	Report patch read errors more immediately
	* src/pch.c (open_patch_file): Cache patch file descriptor.
	When reading a patch, report read errors right away rather
	than possibly waiting until end of input.

	Port fflush usage to OpenBSD 7.5
	* src/inp.c (scan_input): Accept file descriptor, not stream.
	All callers changed.
	* src/patch.c (main): Do not obtain a stream for the patch
	file descriptor, as scan_input merely needs a file descriptor.
	This removes the need to call Fclose, which calls fflush,
	which fails on OpenBSD 7.5 which (contra POSIX) does not
	let you fflush an input stream.

2024-09-17  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Update old copyright notices
	* NEWS: Replace the old copyright notice with the current version from
	COPYING.
	* m4/setmode.m4: Likewise.

2024-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Fix gl_gcc_warnings typo in ‘configure’
	* configure.ac (gl_gcc_warnings): Always set before using,
	fixing a typo I introduced Sat Aug 24 08:28:18 2024 -0700.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	Remove some dependencies no longer needed
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove clock-time,
	nstrftime, stdc_bit_ceil, time.
	* src/inp.c: Do not include stdbit.h.

	Update NEWS as per recent changes

	Update POSIX citations

	Use “Gruenbacher” in international contexts
	* patch.man: “Grünbacher” → “Gruenbacher”,
	as per 2024-08-30 email from Andreas.

	Adjust libs to match recent Gnulib
	* src/Makefile.am (patch_LDADD): Add $(CLOCK_TIME_LIB) (replacing
	$(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME)), $(EUIDACCESS_LIBGEN) (replacing
	$(LIB_EACCESS), $(GETRANDOM_LIB), $(HARD_LOCALE_LIB), $(LIBINTL),
	$(MBRTOWC_LIB), $(SETLOCALE_NULL_LIB).  This matches recent
	Gnulib and is needed for AIX 7.1 which requires linking
	with -lpthread.

	Pacify clang -Wbitwise-conditional-parentheses
	* src/util.c (copy_attr): Pacify clang 18.1.3 (1ubuntu1).

	Remove “support” for nested critical sections
	It was a bit racy, and it’s no longer needed now that
	we have shrunk critical sections.
	* src/util.c (signals_are_deferred): Rename from signal_deferring_level.
	Now effectively a boolean, instead of being a counter.
	All uses changed.

	Simplify critical section code in util fns
	* src/util.c (move_file, create_file, copy_file):
	Do not worry about whether the file is temporary
	when deciding whether to make a section of code critical.
	Just do it.  There’s no need for optimization now
	that we don’t need syscalls around critical sections.

	Shrink critical sections
	* src/patch.c (main):
	Do not put calls to output_files in critical sections,
	as it can now deal with signals.
	(struct file_to_output): ‘from’ member is now struct outfile, not
	char volatile *volatile.  All uses changed.
	(output_file_later): Append new structure to list in a critical section.
	(output_files): Redo so that calls need not be in a critical section.
	Instead, put critical sections around small subsidiary parts.

	Defer signals by hand with sigatomic_t
	Refactor by using a sig_atomic_t variable instead of a sigprocmask
	call to defer signals.  This should be good enough for a
	single-thread app where we write all the code that needs critical
	sections, and where the signal handler merely cleans up and exits.
	The resulting code should have the same behavior (including
	signal-handling races!) as the original.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove sigaction, sigprocmask.
	Instead, use sigaction only if it’s supported natively,
	as the Gnulib emulation of sigaction drags in code we no longer need.
	* configure.ac: Check for sigaction, sigfillset.
	* src/patch.c (fatal_cleanup): New async-signal-safe function,
	which does the cleanup that the old fatal_exit (SIG) did when SIG
	was nonzero.
	(fatal_exit): Do what the old fatal_exit (SIG) did when SIG was zero.
	Omit SIG arg.  All callers changed.  This function is no longer
	called from signal handlers, and so no longer needs to be
	async-signal-safe under some circumstances.  However, it now
	defers signals.
	* src/util.c (signal_received): New static var.
	(signal_deferring_level): Now sig_atomic_t.
	(fatal_cleanup_and_terminate, handle_signal): New functions.
	(defer_signals, undefer_signals): Reimplement by
	using sigatomic_t volatile vars, not by using sigprocmask.
	(init_signals): Don’t assume SIGPIPE since we don’t use the
	Gnulib sigpipe module.  Use simple sigfillset signal mask
	so that we needn’t use sigprocmask to inquire about the
	current signal mask.  Have a fallback for old platforms
	that lack sigaction and sigfillset, since we no longer use
	Gnulib’s sigaction module.
	(exit_with_signal): Remove; no longer needed.

	output_file_later avoid a malloc+free pair
	* src/patch.c (output_file_later, output_files):
	Combine two malloc calls into one, and likewise for free.
	Rename local to ‘f’ to make the code easier to follow.

	Defend against closed stdin/stdout/stderr
	Various parts of ‘patch’ can misbehave when stdin, stdout, stderr
	are closed.  For example, ‘dup’ can yield 0, 1, or 2 and the
	resulting file descriptor will be misused.  Although POSIX
	requires that ‘patch’ be invoked with stdin/stdout/stderror open,
	it’s better to defend against the possbility that they’re not
	open.  Use Gnulib’s xstdopen module to defend against this.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add xstdopen.
	* src/patch.c: Include xstdopen.h.
	(main): Call xstdopen before doing I/O.

	Stop using Gnulib ‘execute’ module
	This is motivated by wanting to remove dependencies on
	Gnulib’s sigprocmask etc. modules, in later patches.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove execute.
	* src/pch.c: Don’t include execute.h.
	(do_ed_script): Use ‘quote_system_arg’ and ‘systemic’, not
	‘execute’, to run the editor command while avoiding
	quoting vulnerabilities.
	* src/util.c (quote_system_arg): Now extern.

	Move defer_signals up
	* src/util.c (signal_deferring_level, defer_signals, undefer_signals):
	Refactor by moving up.  This should simplify later patches.

	Make sigs, NUM_SIGS local
	* src/util.c (sigs, NUM_SIGS): Refactor by moving these static
	constants into the only function that uses them.

	Rename block_signals
	This refactoring prepares for a new algorithm that does not use
	SIG_BLOCK, and where the name ‘block_signals’ would be misleading.
	* src/util.c (signal_deferring_level, defer_signals, undefer_signals):
	Rename from signal_blocking_level, block_signals, unblock_signals.
	All uses changed.

	Trade a bit of space for time in parse_c_string
	* src/util.c (parse_c_string): Omit unnecessary realloc.

	Allocate first patchbuf statically
	This way we avoid the need to call malloc first thing.
	Usually there will no need to call malloc at all, for patchbuf.
	* src/common.h (patchbuf, patchbufsize): Move extern decls from here ...
	* src/pch.h: ... to here.
	* src/patch.c (patchbuf, patchbufsize): Move defns from here ...
	* src/pch.c: ... to here, and initialize patchbuf statically.
	* src/patch.c (main): No need to initialize patchbuf.
	* src/pch.c (initial_patchbuf): New static vbar.
	(grow_patchbuf): New function.
	(pget_line): Use grow_patchbuf rather than growing by hand.
	* src/util.c: Include pch.h, for patchbuf.
	(ask): Return patchbuf, not void, so that callers need not
	include pch.h merely to access patchbuf.  All callers changed.

	Use bigger buffer size by default
	This idea is taken from GNU coreutils.
	* src/patch.c (patchbufsize): Initialize statically rather than
	dynamically.
	* src/util.c (IO_MAX): Remove.  All uses replaced by IO_BUFSIZE.
	* src/util.h (IO_BUFSIZE): New constant, taken from coreutils.

	Preinitialize fatal_act.sa_hander
	* src/util.c (fatal_act): Initialize .sa_handler statically ...
	(init_signals): ... rather than dynamically.

	Prefer EXIT_SUCCESS etc. to literal integers
	* src/patch.c (main, usage, get_some_switches, fatal_exit):
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script):
	* src/util.c (exit_with_signal):
	Prefer EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_TROUBLE to 0, 1, 2.
	* src/util.h (EXIT_TROUBLE): New constant.

	Fix some signal handling races
	Also, when a signal arrives, clean up temporary files that were
	not put in /tmp.
	* src/patch.c (main): Block signals around every call to output_files
	and to remove_if_needed.
	(struct file_to_output): ‘from’ and ‘to’ are now volatile,
	as they are accessed in signal handler.
	(files_to_output): Now volatile, and done by hand instead of
	using gl_list_t so that it can be volatile.  All uses changed.
	(files_to_output_tail): New var, which points to pointer to last
	object in list (if any).  Volatile so it can be accessed by
	signal handler.  All updates of list changed.
	(dispose_file_to_output, init_files_to_output, gl_list_clear):
	Remove; no longer used now that we are doing this list by hand.
	(output_files): 2nd arg is now int, not bool; -1 means we
	are in a signal handler.  When exiting due to a signal handler,
	merely unlink (not safe_unlink) the source, and do not use
	‘free’; this way, the code is async-signal-safe.
	(fatal_exit): Arrange for signals to be blocked, when not
	invoked as a signal handler.  Call output_files even when
	signaled, as it will now do something sensible by deleting
	temp files without renaming them.

	Fix --set-utc TZ setting
	* src/patch.c (main): Set TZ to "UTC0", which older POSIX requires
	support for, as opposed to "UTC", which even POSIX.1-2024 arguably
	does not require support for.  Also, check for setenv failure.

	Improve logic for when rename removes source
	* src/util.c (move_file): Don’t test outfrom when it’s already
	known to be non-null.  Don’t worry about destination link count
	if we created the source.

	Fix signal race when renaming file
	* src/util.c (move_file): Fix race if a signal arives between
	the time we rename a file and we mark the source as not existing.

	Simplify traverse_another_path via last_component
	* src/safe.c: Include basename-lgpl.h.
	(traverse_another_path): Simplify by using last_component.

	Stop using Gnulib dirname module
	We don’t need its dir_name and base_name functions, since we
	merely copy the strings elsewhere.  Instead, use some of the
	modules that dirname uses.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add basename-lgpl, filename.
	Remove dirname.
	* src/pch.c, src/util.c:
	Include basename-lgpl.h and filename.h instead of dirname.h.
	* src/pch.c (best_name):
	* src/util.c (version_controller):
	Use last_component instead of the dirname module’s functions.
	* src/safe.c: Include filename.h instead of dirname.h.
	* src/util.c (make_tempfile): No need to break the file name
	into directory and basename; just use the whole file name.

	Fix implausible overflow when reading symlinks
	* src/safe.c (read_symlink): Check for integer overflow
	in bufferi size calculation.

	Access checks should use effective, not real
	* src/safe.c (safe_access): Use effective user and group ID,
	not real user and group ID.

	Don’t assume AT_FDCWD != -1
	* src/safe.h (DIRFD_INVALID): New constant.
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path, traverse_path, safe_xstat)
	(safe_open, safe_rename, safe_mkdir, safe_rmdir, safe_unlink)
	(safe_symlink, safe_chmod, safe_lchown, safe_lutimens)
	(safe_readlink, safe_access):
	Use it to port to perverse platforms where AT_FDCWD == -1.

	Copy input to output attributes via fd if possible
	* src/inp.c (scan_input): New arg ifp.  It is now the
	caller’s responsibility to open and close the input.
	Caller changed.
	* src/patch.c (main): Open the input file for scan_input, and use
	its file descriptor, if available, to avoid some races while
	setting output file attributes.

	Simplify timestamp epoch checking
	* src/util.c (fetchname): Simplify timestamp calculations.
	Also, add a comment saying why they are buggy in obscure
	cases that have little practical implication.

	Check for ftello failures
	Also, use Gnulib modules fseeko, ftello, and rely on off_t,
	fseeko, ftello as they are safe to use nowadays.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fseeko, ftello.
	This is needed only for very old platforms, plus MSVC.
	* src/common.h (file_offset, file_seek, file_tell): Remove.
	All uses replaced with off_t, fseek, ftell.
	* src/util.c (Fseeko): Rename from Fseek.  All uses changed.
	(Ftello): New function.  All ftello callers that rely on
	nonnegative results changed to Ftello.

	Remove format_linenum
	* src/util.c (format_linenum):
	* src/util.h (LINENUM_LENGTH_BOUND):
	Remove.  They are no longer needed now that line numbers can be
	printed with %td.  All uses replaced by printf with %td.

	Fix "with multiple words" line number
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Fix typo in diagnostic,
	which output a file offset as if it were a line number.

	Drop Plan B
	‘patch’ dates back to when porting to 16-bit machines still
	mattered, and where it was therefore useful to support files that
	did not fit in RAM.  So ‘patch’ had two operating modes, Plan A
	and Plan B.  In Plan A the input was simply read into memory, but
	if memory was exhausted ‘patch’ fell back onto Plan B where input
	was transformed into a temporary file that holds the input lines.
	The idea was to not use any malloc calls during the main part of
	the ‘patch’ run, so that ‘patch’ could not exhaust memory if Plan
	A succeeded.  Over the years, though, that approach has not always
	been observed, as malloc is called for sundry reasons and ‘patch’
	immediately fails when malloc fails other than during the Plan A
	initial phase.  In practice this misbehavior has not been a
	problem, as ‘patch’ now invariably runs on machines where source
	file contents fit into RAM so Plan B is never used.  The GNU
	Coding Standards says not to worry about supporting machines too
	small to read file contents, and now’s a good time to remove the
	Plan B code, as it is making further maintenance a pain.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove ialloc.
	All uses of ialloc.h and its API removed, and replaced by
	xalloc.h API as needed.
	* src/common.h (lin, LINENUM_MIN, LINENUM_MAX): Remove.
	All uses of ‘lin’ replaced by idx_t if known to be nonnegative,
	ptrdiff_t otherwise.  All uses of LINENUM_MAX replaced by IDX_MAX.
	LINENUM_MIN was not used.
	* src/inp.c (tibufsize, TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM, tifd, tibuf, tiline)
	(lines_per_buf, tireclen, last_line_size, too_many_lines)
	(lines_too_long, plan_a, plan_b): Remove.  All uses removed.
	(scan_input): Do just what plan_a used to do, except report a fatal
	error on memory exhaustion.
	Do not worry about file types other than regular file or symlink
	as they are not possible.  All uses changed.
	(ifetch): Omit WHICHBUF arg, which is no longer needed now that
	we always use Plan A.  All uses changed.
	* src/patch.c (tmpin): Remove.  All uses removed.
	* src/pch.c (grow_hunkmax, pget_line): Use xpalloc rather than
	doing the equivalent by hand.
	(grow_hunkmax): Always succeed.  All uses changed.
	(another_hunk): Return bool not signed char, since -1 is
	no longer possible.  All uses changed.
	Use ximemdup0 instead of savestr when that is more convenient.
	(get_line, pget_line): Return idx_t, not ptrdiff_t, since -1
	is no longer possible.  All uses changed.
	* src/util.c (savebuf): Always succeed.  All callers changed.
	Simplify.
	(Write): Now static.

	Prefer ximemdup0 to xmemdup0
	This is natural, as the args are all nonnegative ptrdiff_t, not size_t.
	It also removes the need for Gnulib’s xmemdup0 module.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove xmemdup0.
	* src/pch.c, src/util.c: Do not include xmemdup0.h.
	All calls to xmemdup0 replaced by ximemdup0.

	Refactor ifetch API
	* src/inp.c (ifetch): Return struct iline, instead of
	returning a pointer and storing through a pointer.
	All callers changed.
	* src/inp.h (struct iline): New type.

	Do not attempt huge I/Os
	Also, simplify I/O error checking by moving some of it into
	new functions Read and Write.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove full-write.
	* src/inp.c (plan_a, plan_b, ifetch):
	* src/util.c (move_file, copy_to_fd):
	Use Read or Write instead of checking for I/O errors by hand.
	* src/util.c: Do not include full-write.h.
	(IO_MAX): New constant.
	(ifetch): Diagnose temp file shrinkage.
	(ask): Do not attempt a read of more than IO_MAX bytes.
	Use xpalloc to reallocate, instead of doing it by hand.
	(Read, Write): New functions.

	Use outfd when setting file attributes
	* src/patch.c (main): Check for output error when closing outfd.
	Use outfd when setting file attributes, to fix some races.
	This means delaying closing until after setting file attributes.
	(spew_output): Don’t close output stream; that is now the
	caller’s responsibility.  Caller changed.

	Don’t assume Linux-like S_IFREG
	* boostrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add assert-h.
	* src/pch.c (fetchmode): Convert Git type to local file type.

	Use STDOUT_FILENO etc
	* src/patch.c (open_outfile):
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script): Prefer macros like STDOUT_FILENO to
	expressions like 1 or fileno (stdout).

	Fix unlikely glitch with ed diffs
	* src/patch.c (main): If tmpout can’t be created, don’t
	continue when diff_type == ED_DIFF.

	Use fds to copy attrs in create_backup_copy
	* src/util.c (create_backup_copy): Let the new copy_file set file
	attributes, as this can be done more straightforwardly via
	file descriptors.
	(copy_to_fd): Return the source file descriptor instead of closing
	it, so that the caller can use it before closing.  All callers changed.
	(copy_file): New arg ATTR.  Set the destination’s attributes
	accordingly.  All callers changed.

	Be more careful about (time_t) -1
	* src/patch.c (main):
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type):
	* src/util.c (fetchname):
	Mark an invalid timespec with both .tv_sec = (time_t) -1
	and with .tv_nsec = -1.  This is more reliable in case
	time_t is unsigned and narrower than int, in which case
	(time_t) -1 != -1.  It’s also more reliable in the unusual case
	where (time_t) -1 is a valid timestamp.  All uses changed.

	X == -1 → X < 0
	* src/inp.c (get_input_file, plan_b, ifetch):
	* src/patch.c (main, get_some_switches, open_outfile)
	(init_reject, output_file_now):
	* src/pch.c (open_patch_file, there_is_another_patch)
	(another_hunk, do_ed_script):
	* src/safe.c (read_symlink, traverse_another_path):
	* src/util.c (move_file):
	Prefer X < 0 to X == -1 when either comparison will do.
	This lets us focus better on oddball cases like uid_t and time_t
	when converted from -1.

	Let set_file_attributes use fds not names
	Although this ability is currently not used, so this commit is
	merely refactoring, the patch should help ‘patch’ avoid some race
	conditions in followup commits.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add futimens.
	* src/util.c: Include utimens.h.
	(lacks_appropriate_privileges, copy_fdattr_error): New functions.
	(copy_attr): New args src_fd, dst_fd.  All uses changed.
	(set_file_attributes): New args tofd, fromfd.  All uses changed.

	Port to narrow unsigned uid_t
	* src/util.c (set_file_attributes): Work even if uid_t or gid_t
	is unsigned and narrower than int, so that (uid_t) -1 != -1.

	Check for output errors more systematically
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add closeout.
	* src/merge.c (print_linerange, merge_result, merge_hunk):
	* src/patch.c (main, usage, get_some_switches)
	(print_unidiff_range, abort_hunk_unified, abort_hunk_context)
	(apply_hunk, copy_till, spew_output):
	* src/pch.c (open_patch_file, there_is_another_patch)
	(another_hunk, pch_write_line, do_ed_script):
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path):
	* src/util.c (putline, vsay, ask, systemic):
	* src/version.c (version):
	Check for output errors more systematically.
	* src/patch.c: Include closeout.h.
	(main): Invoke close_stdout at exit.
	* src/util.c (fatal): Use fputc, not putc; no need for speed here.
	(pfatal): Use fprintf, not putline, to avoid recursion loop
	on write error.
	(Fclose, Fflush, Fprintf, Fputc, Fputs, Fwrite):
	New functions, to go with Fseek.
	* src/version.c: Include util.h, for Fprintf.

2024-09-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Simplify EOF testing
	* src/inp.c (plan_b):
	* src/patch.c (apply_hunk, copy_till):
	* src/pch.c (skip_to, pget_line, incomplete_line, do_ed_script):
	Just check whether a value is negative, rather than exactly EOF.
	This simplifies the code a bit, and speeds it up very slightly.

	Prefer other types to ‘int’
	* src/merge.c (merge_result, merge_hunk):
	Hunk number is intmax_t, not int, fixing an unlikely overflow.
	* src/patch.c (invc): Now signed char, not int.
	(numeric_string): Use bool, not int, for sign.
	* src/pch.c (p_says_nonexistent, sha1_says_nonexistent)
	(pch_says_nonexistent): Now char, not int.  All uses changed.

	* src/util.c (format_linenum): Remove unnecessary casts to int.

	Detect unlikely integer overflow in size calcs
	* src/pch.c (set_hunkmax, grow_hunkmax): Check for unlikely
	integer overflow in size calculations, by using ireallocarray
	rather than realloc and similarly for xireallocarray vs xmalloc.
	(grow_hunkmax): Rely on C89 guarantee that when realloc fails, the
	old storage is still available.  We need not worry any more about
	ancient hosts where that was not true.  Grow by a factor of
	1.5, as per xpalloc, instead of by a factor of 2.

	Prefer idx_t, ptrdiff_t to lin
	Prefer idx_t and ptrdiff_t to lin when counting lines in main
	memory.  This is mostly for clarity, though it should help
	efficiency slightly in obsolescent 32-bit platforms.
	* src/inp.c (ifetch):
	* src/merge.c (locate_merge, merge_hunk, count_context_lines)
	(context_matches_file, compute_changes):

	(pch_end, pch_prefix_context, pch_suffix_context, pch_line_len)
	(pch_char, pfetch, pch_write_line, pch_normalize):

	Prefer ptrdiff_t to lin for pointer differences.
	All uses changed.
	* src/merge.c (compute_changes): Check for integer overflow
	when combining file with memory counts, when the result
	must fit into memory.

	Fix compatibility issue with blanks in patches
	* src/util.c (remove_prefix): Remove; no longer used.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type, scan_linenum, another_hunk):
	Allow a nonempty sequence of blanks in places where POSIX requires
	support for these sequences.
	(another_hunk): Parse the "0,0" instead of comparing it literally,
	since there can be blanks around the comma.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add unusual-blanks.
	* tests/unusual-blanks: New file.

	pch_swap return type cleanup
	* src/pch.c (pch_swap): Return void not bool, since it always
	returns true if it returns at all.  All uses changed.

	Fix unlikely int overflow in hunk counts
	* src/patch.c (main): Don’t assume hunk counts fit in int.

	Use char for char in plan_a
	* src/inp.c (plan_a): Use char, not int, for local.

	Cache cwd_is_root dev, ino
	* src/util.c (cwd_is_root): Cache stat results.

	Avoid ‘unsigned’ in safe.c

	(dirfd_cache_misses): Now intmax_t instead of unsigned.
	All uses changed.
	(count_path_components): Return idx_t, not unsigned, to
	avoid issues with file names with more than INT_MAX components.
	All uses changed.

	Simplify get_sha1
	* src/pch.c (get_sha1): Return the new string instead of storing
	through a pointer.  All uses changed.  Use xmemdup0 instead of
	duplicating its logic.

	Avoid casts in patch.c
	* src/patch.c (main, get_some_switches, abort_hunk_context):
	Redo to avoid casts.
	(main): Use %#o rather than 0%o for octal output, to avoid
	unnecessary leading 0.

	Prefer idx_t in util.c
	* src/util.c (file_id_hasher): Avoid unlikely signed integer
	overflow when adding e->ino and e->dev.
	(create_backup, copy_to_fd, quote_system_arg, version_controller)
	(savebuf, remove_prefix, removedirs): Prefer idx_t to size_t.

	Prefer idx_t in pch.c
	* src/pch.c (p_len, p_indent, open_patch_file, intuit_diff_type)
	(prefix_components, best_name, another_hunk, get_line, pget_line)
	(pch_swap, pch_line_len):
	Prefer idx_t or ptrdiff_t to size_t.  All uses changed.
	(intuit_diff_type): Rename local distance_from_minimum to
	above_minimum, and make it 1 or 0 which is all that is needed.
	This avoids integer overflow when the distance exceeds INT_MAX.

	Prefer idx_t in patch.c
	* src/patch.c (patchbufsize, main, similar):
	Prefer idx_t to size_t.  All uses changed.
	* src/pch.c (pget_line):
	* src/util.c: Include ialloc.h.
	(ask): Avoid bad behavior on unlikely size overflow.
	When converting from size_t to idx_t,
	prefer reallocation growth by 50% not 100%, to match xpalloc.

	Prefer idx_t in list.h
	* src/list.h (list_entry): Prefer idx_t to size_t.

	Prefer idx_t in inp.c
	Prefer signed to unsigned types for object sizes,
	as they have better checking (e.g., gcc -fsanitize=undefined).
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add idx (already being used
	indirectly) and stdc_bit_ceil.
	* src/common.h: Include idx.h.
	* src/inp.c: Include stdbit.h.
	(tibufsize, tireclen, last_line_size, plan_a, ifetch):
	Prefer idx_t to size_t for object sizes.  All uses changed.
	(lines_per_buf): Prefer idx_t to lin when it's talking about
	object sizes.
	(plan_b): Check for idx_t overflow too.  Use stdc_bit_ceil
	instead of doing it by hand.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	Don’t limit strip counts etc. to INT_MAX
	* src/patch.c (debug): Now unsigned short int, not int, since
	it is used as a mask and only the bottom 9 bits matter.
	(patch_get, strippath, maxfuzz): Now intmax_t, not int.
	(numeric_string): Return intmax_t, not int.
	On overflow return an extremum rather than reporting an error,
	since the resulting values are effectively infinity anyway.
	All uses changed.
	* src/util.c (success, fetchname, parse_name): Accept intmax_t, not int.

	Fix unlikely integer overflows in patch.c
	* src/patch.c (numeric_string): Use stdckdint instead of
	by-hand overflow checks that might not work.

	Fix unlikely integer overflows in pch.c
	* src/pch.c (scan_linenum): Use stdckdint instead of by-hand
	overflow checks that might not work.  Fix already-existing
	use of ckd_add that wasn’t done quite correctly.

	Fix unlikely integer overflows in inp.c
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ialloc.
	* src/inp.c: Include ialloc.h.

	Use stdckdint instead of by-hand overflow checks that might not work.

	Promote minmax.h to common.h

	* src/safe.c (openat_cached):
	Make a copy of arg, to simplify API.
	Arg now points to const, since it no longer needs write access.
	(traverse_next, traverse_another_path, traverse_path):
	Arg points to pointer that is no longer pointer to const.
	Temporarily change argument string instead of duplicating it and
	changing the copy.  All uses changed.
	* src/util.c (volatilize): Result is no longer pointer to const.

	Remove unnecessary char * casts in inp.c
	* src/inp.c (plan_a): Remove unnecessary casts to char *.

	Pacify gcc -Wunused-parameter when !USE_XATTR
	* src/common.h (struct outfile.exists):
	Now char const volatile *volatile, not bool volatile,
	so that we follow the C standard more strictly.
	All uses changed.
	* src/util.c (UTIL_INLINE): New macro.
	(volatilize): New function.
	* src/util.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, UTIL_INLINE.
	(devolatilize): New function.

	Pacify gcc -Wunused-parameter when !USE_XATTR
	* src/util.c (copy_attr) [!USE_XATTR]: Mark args with MAYBE_UNUSED.

	maint: stop using alloca
	It means unbounded allocation on the stack, which is trouble
	on some platforms.  Also, gcc-12 on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS complains.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove alloca.
	* src/pch.c, src/safe.c: Don’t include alloca.h.
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script):
	Use designated initializer instead of fixed-size alloca.
	* src/safe.c (new_cached_dirfd, openat_cached):
	Name arg is now allocated on heap by caller, and is now char * not
	char const *.  All callers changed.
	(openat_cached, traverse_next): Redo to avoid gotos.
	(traverse_next, traverse_another_path):
	Use ximemdup0 instead of alloca, to allocate on the heap rather than
	unboundedly on the stack.

	Don’t assume O_RDONLY == 0
	* src/safe.c (O_PATHSEARCH): New constant.
	(openat_cached): Use it, so as to not assume that
	O_RDONLY == 0, and so that the open works even if
	the directory is unreadable (except on ancient hosts).

	Avoid syscall when nested signal block
	* src/util.c (block_signals): Don’t call sigprocmask
	when nesting, as the signals are already blocked.

	Add signal comment
	* src/patch.c (main): Comment why signals are blocked here,
	and add a FIXME.

2024-08-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	Update NEWS, README-prereq

	Omit _Noreturn when easy
	* src/inp.c (too_many_lines, lines_too_long):
	* src/patch.c (mangled_patch):
	* src/pch.c (malformed):
	Omit _Noreturn for functions where it is automatically deduced in
	a default build by gcc (GCC) 14.2.1 20240801 (Red Hat 14.2.1-1) x86-64.

	Replace __attribute__ with attribute.h
	* src/common.h (__attribute__): Remove.
	All uses replaced by _Noreturn or ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT.

	Switch from ctype.h to c-ctype.h
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c-ctype.
	It’s alreay being used indirectly.
	* src/common.h: Include c-ctype.h instead of ctype.h.
	All uses of isspace replaced by c_isspace; this is equivalent
	since we do not call setlocale.  All uses of c==' ' || c=='\t'
	replaced by c_isblank.
	Sort includes, system includes last.
	(ISDIGIT): Remove.  All uses replaced by c_isdigit.

	Simplify warning configuration
	* configure.ac (WARN_CFLAGS): Simplify configuration
	by not bothering to suppress warnings that don’t
	need to be suppressed with GCC 14.2.1.

	Prefer ATTRIBUTE_* to _GL_ATTRIBUTE_*
	When attribute.h defines a shorthand macro, use it
	to avoid _GL_ prefixes.  This affects _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
	and _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE.

	Pacify gcc -Wno-unused-parameter
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ‘attribute’.
	It’s already being used indirectly.
	* configure.ac (WARN_CFLAGS): Omit -Wno-unused-parameter.
	* src/common.h: Include attribute.h.
	(FALLTHROUGH): Remove, as attribute.h does this now.
	* src/util.c (copy_attr_error, copy_attr_quote, copy_attr_free):
	Use MAYBE_UNUSED.

	Improve ‘git diff’ output if desired
	* .gitattributes: New file.

	Prefer strerror to perror
	* src/patch.c (putline): Move from here ...
	* src/util.c: ... to here, and make it extern.
	* src/pch.c (there_is_another_patch):
	* src/util.c (pfatal):
	Use putline with strerror rather than attempting to work
	around old perror bugs.  This also works better in the
	unlikely case where the program name length does not fit
	in int.

	A bit more long-string fixing
	* src/util.c (fatal, pfatal): Avoid unlikely int overflow
	with very long program names.

	Prefer nullptr to NULL
	C23-style nullptr has some minor static-checking advantages over
	C89-style NULL, and we’re already using Gnulib’s nullptr module.
	* src/inp.c, src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/safe.c, src/util.c:
	Prefer nullptr to NULL.

	More fixing of printing of very long strings
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add nullptr.
	* src/patch.c (if_defined, not_defined):
	Now merely strings, not printf formats.  All uses changed.
	(putline): New static function.
	(print_header_line, abort_hunk_unified, abort_hunk_context)
	(apply_hunk): Use it to remove assumptions that string
	lengths fit in int.  Also, prefer fputs to printf with plain %s.
	(print_header_line): TAG arg now is assumed to have an appended ' ',
	to save us the trouble of outputting ' ' separately.  All uses changed.

	Don’t assume string sizes fit in int when printing
	* src/common.h: Move stdckdint.h include here ...
	* src/util.c: ... from here.
	* src/pch.c (scan_linenum):
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path):
	Don’t assume pointer differences fit in int when calling printf.

	Avoid fprintf INT_MAX overflow when merging
	* src/merge.c (merge_hunk): Don’t assume patch line lengths
	fit in int.

	Avoid sprintf INT_MAX overflow
	The bug is extremely unlikely, but it’s easy to fix.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpcpy.
	* src/util.c (SCCSPREFIX): Now a macro, so that it can be concatenated.
	(try1, try2): Remove these macros.  Replace all uses with ...
	(trystat): ... this new function.
	* src/util.c (version_controller, make_tempfile):
	Avoid issues with sprintf result exceeding INT_MAX.

	Reject output file names containing '\n'
	This is encouraged by POSIX.1-2004.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add mempcpy.
	* src/patch.c (main, get_some_switches):
	* src/util.c (parse_c_string):
	Reject output file names containing newlines.
	(backup_file_name_option): New function, to help with that.
	(make_tempfile): Reject TMPDIR values containing newlines.
	Do not silently screw up if TMPDIR length exceeds INT_MAX.
	* tests/bad-filenames: Test for file names containing '\n'.

	Update man page a bit.
	* patch.man: Fix minor formatting glitches.
	Remove obsolete references to news articles, as Larry Wall’s
	once-famous ‘rn’ program is no longer used.
	Mention Git.  Update Autoconf mention.
	Remove discussion of differences between current patch
	and patch 2.1 and earlier, as 2.1 is so old I can’t
	easily find out its release date.

	Update copyright notices
	Switch to single intervals for FSF notices,
	and consistently put them first.
	Update copyright notices for 2024.
	* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Use UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_FORCE=1,
	UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2.
	* patch.man: Always use \(co, so that update-copyright
	updates these dates.
	* src/version.c: Correct Larry Wall copyright years.

	Fix some races involving signals
	* src/common.h (struct outfile.exists): Now volatile.

	Don’t attempt to remove files we didn’t create
	Fix part of a race condition when a signal arrives, which can
	cause ‘patch’ to remove the wrong file.
	* src/common.h (struct outfile.temporary): New member.
	* src/patch.c (tmped, tmpin, tmppat, tmpout): Initialize it.
	(outrej): New static var, replacing the old rejname, but now
	of type struct outfile rather than char *.  All uses changed.
	* src/patch.c (create_output_file):
	* src/util.c (create_file, copy_file):
	Accept struct outfile * instead of char *.  All uses changed.
	* src/patch.c (open_outfile, output_file_now, output_file):
	* src/util.c (create_backup_copy, move_file):
	Accept char * instead of char const *, so that the pointer can be
	copied into a struct outfile.  All uses changed.
	* src/util.c (create_file, copy_file, try_safe_open):
	Block signals for temporary files, so that signal handlers always
	see an ‘exists’ member consistent with whether we created the file.
	(unblock_signals): Preserve errno so that caller need not do that.
	(struct try_safe_open_args.out): New member.  All uses changed.
	(try_safe_open, make_tempfile): Rely on try_tempname to set
	out->exists, rather than having make_tempfile do it (which
	would mean a much longer critical section).

	Omit goto in try_safe_open
	* src/util.c (try_safe_open): Rewrite to avoid goto.

	Pacify clang re obsolete O_CREAT test
	* src/util.c (create_file): Remove obsolete test O_CREAT && O_TRUNC.
	clang compares about it, and we don’t need to worry about ancient
	platforms lacking O_CREAT or O_TRUNC.

	Allow nested block/unblock of signals
	* src/util.c (initial_signal_mask): Now auto, not static.
	(init_signals): Do not block a signal that is already blocked.

	* configure.ac: Do not call gl_SIZE_MAX.
	* src/common.h: Include inttypes.h unconditionally.

	Update main locals more consistently
	* src/patch.c (main): Be a bit more disciplined about updating
	local vars.  No need to set outfd = -1 if outstate.ofp is
	non-null, since it must be -1 in that case.

	Use struct outfile * in function args
	* src/patch.c (output_file_later, output_file_now, output_file)
	(remove_if_needed):
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script):
	* src/util.c (move_file, make_tempfile):

	* src/common.h (struct outfile): New type.
	* src/patch.c (tmped, tmpin, tmpout, tmppat, tmppat): New vars,
	using this type.  They replace TMPEDNAME, TMPEDNAME_needs_removal,
	TMPINNAME, TMPINNAME_needs_removal, TMPOUTNAME,

	TMPREJNAME, TMPREJNAME_needs_removal.  All uses changed.
	(tmprej): Now static.

	not char const **.  All callers changed.

2024-08-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	Simplify by using Gnulib sigaction
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add raise, sigaction, signal-h,
	sigprocmask.  Remove signal.

	(sigaddset, sigismember, sigprocmask, sigblock, sigsetmask):
	Remove substitutes; not needed now that we have Gnulib.
	(sigs): Don’t worry about whether SIGHUP and SIGPIPE are present.
	(NUM_SIGS): Now a constant, not a macro.
	(signals_to_block): Remove.  All uses changed to fatal_act.sa_mask.
	(fatal_exit_handler) [!HAVE_SIGACTION]: Remove.  All uses removed.
	(init_signals): Rename from set_signals.  All uses changed.
	Only do the true part; the false part is now done by unblock_signals.
	(block_signals): Rename from ignore_signals, since it now blocks
	instead of ignoring on all platforms.  All uses changed.
	(init_signals, block_signals): Simplify by assuming
	HAVE_SIGACTION, HAVE_SIGPROCMASK, HAVE_SIGSETMASK.
	(setup_handler): Remove macro.
	(unblock_signals): New function.

	Avoid unnecessary freeing in output_files
	If we’re about to exit, calling ‘free’ just slows us down
	and is more likely to trigger a bug somewhere.
	* src/patch.c (FREE_BEFORE_EXIT): Now a boolean, not
	defined-or-not-defined.  All uses changed.
	(output_files): New arg EXITING.  All uses changed.

	Clean up cleanup
	* src/patch.c (cleanup): Do not call output_files,
	since this function can be called from a signal handler
	and output_files is not async-signal-safe.  All callers changed.
	No need for the ‘already_cleaning_up’ static.

	Port better to GNU/Hurd
	It lacks PATH_MAX, so don’t use PATH_MAX.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stdckdint.
	* src/util.c: Include stdckdint.h.  Omit duplicate stdarg.h include.
	(move_file, copy_file): Don’t limit symlink contents to PATH_MAX.
	Check for symlink or file contents that unexpectedly grew.
	(copy_file): New arg FROMST.  All callers changed.

	Don’t say empty backups are unreadable
	* patch.man: Remove text that became obsolete in 2011.

	Spelling fixes

	Change manywarnings usage to be more like coreutils
	* configure.ac: Treat --enable-gcc-warnings more like coreutils does.
	This mostly just migrates coreutils changes into this file.

	Pacify clang, which dislikes n + "y"
	* src/merge.c (merge_hunk):
	* src/patch.c (main): Do not add an integer to a string literal,
	as Clang unhelpfully warns that you’re using C, not C++.

	Pacify -Wstrict-overflow in pch.c
	* src/pch.c (fetchmode): Avoid undefined behavior in the unlikely
	event that str happens to be next to the end of memory.

	Pacify -Wsuggest-attribute=format in util.c
	* src/util.c (copy_attr_error): Mark with printf attribute.
	(copy_attr): Ignore -Wsuggest-attribute=format.

	Port to non-VLA C compilers
	The C standard does not require support for VLAs.
	* src/util.c (cwd_is_root): Don’t use VLA.

	Rename vars to pacify gcc -Wshadow
	* src/patch.c (noreverse_flag, reverse_flag, patchbuf, patchbufsize):
	Rename from noreverse, reverse, buf, bufsize.
	All uses changed.
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script): Rename locals.

	With current Gnulib it’s not needed.
	* src/common.h, src/list.h, src/safe.h: Don’t include stdbool.h

	Recommend 64-bit time_t on 32-bit platforms
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add year2038-recommended.

	Remove pch_sha1
	* src/pch.c (pch_sha1): Remove; unused.

	Move skip_spaces
	* src/pch.c (skip_spaces): Move here ...
	* src/util.h: ... from here, since it is used only in pch.c.
	No need for it to be declared inline.

	Remove pch_timestamp function
	* src/pch.h (pch_timestamp): Remove.  All uses removed.
	It wasn’t worth the aggravation to keep it.

	Prefer extern inline to static inline for list.h
	* src/list.h: Use _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
	(LIST_INLINE): New macro, if not already defined.
	(INIT_LIST_HEAD, list_add, list_del, list_del_init, list_empty)
	(list_entry): Now LIST_INLINE, not static inline.
	* src/safe.c (LIST_INLINE): New macro.

	maint: pacify gcc 14 -Wcast-align
	* src/list.h (list_entry): Now a 2-arg function rather than
	a 3-arg macro.  All uses changed.

	maint: pacify -Wanalyzer-null-argument
	* src/pch.c (do_ed_script): Simplify slightly to pacify
	GCC 14 -Wanalyzer-null-argument.

	maint: work around GCC bug 109839
	* src/patch.c, src/pch.c: Ignore -Wanalyzer-fd-leak.

	maint: pacify gcc -Wmissing-variable-declarations
	* src/common.h, src/inp.c, src/inp.h, src/merge.c, src/patch.c:
	* src/pch.c, src/pch.h, src/safe.c, src/util.c, src/util.h:
	* src/version.c:
	Stop using XTERN, as that trick doesn’t work with gcc
	-Wmissing-variable-declarations.  Instead, use the vanilla
	approach of extern declarations in .h files, and definitions
	without ‘extern’ in .c files.

	maint: pacify gcc -Winline
	* configure.ac (nw): Add -Winline.

	maint: port _FORTIFY_SOURCE to Ubuntu
	* configure.ac (_FORTIFY_SOURCE): Define only if not already defined,
	so as to not collide with the builtin definition on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

	maint: assume STDC_HEADERS
	We don’t need to worry about pre-C89 any more.
	* src/common.h (CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISSPACE): Remove.
	All uses of ISSPACE replaced by isspace.
	(errno): Remove decl.

	maint: spruce up our .m4 files a bit
	* m4/setmode.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETMODE_DOS):
	Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE instead of AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
	* m4/xattr.m4: Bump serial.

	maint: omit obsolete macro calls
	* configure.ac: Remove gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.
	It is no longer needed, since Gnulib does this for us.

	maint: simplify .gitignore
	* .gitignore: Update for current Gnulib.
	Merge m4/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore into this.
	* m4/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Remove.

2022-05-10  Takashi Iwai  <tiwai@suse.de>

	Pass the correct stat to backup files
	The last case to call output_file() in the main loop is
	    output_file (outname, NULL, &tmpoutst, NULL, NULL,
	                 file_type | 0, backup);
	and this essentially means to create a backup file (where to=NULL)
	only if backup=true, and does nothing else.

	And, in the current code, the passed file stat (&tmpoutst) is a file
	stat of the temporary file that has been processed, not the original
	file (outname) to be backed up.  When the backup is performed
	immediately, this is no big problem.  However, output_file() may
	schedule the deferred handling, and the given file may be backed up at
	a later point.  The problem is that create_backup() tries to avoid the
	backup of the same file twice, and it checks the given stat i-node
	number in the hash list.  Since it's a stat of a temporary file, the
	same i-node number may be reused once a temp file is deleted and
	another is created.  This results in a false-positive detection of the
	already existing file, eventually missing a backup file.

	This patch attempts to address the issue:
	- Modify the condition for better understanding, clearly indicating
	  that the code there is for creating a backup file
	- Pass the stat of the original file instead of a temporary file

	Fix test for presence of BASH_LINENO[0]
	eval is not some sort of magical sandbox for executing code that might cause

	gnulib: update to latest
	* bootstrap: Update.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Replace getdate with parse-datetime, malloc
	with malloc-gnu, and realloc with realloc-gnu.
	* src/patch.c (main): Function find_backup_file_name has gained a new dir_fd
	argument.
	* src/util.c (create_backup): Likewise.
	(fetchname): Function get_date has been renamed to parse_datetime.

2019-12-24  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Add missing-section tests to context-format test case
	* tests/context-format: Add tests with a missing pattern and a missing

	sections from the existing sections.

	Fix failed assertion 'outstate->after_newline'
	The assertion triggers when the -o FILE option is used, more than one output
	file is written into FILE, and one of those files (except the last one) ends in

	* src/patch.c (main): Fix the case described above.

2019-07-15  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Avoid invalid memory access in context format diffs
	* src/pch.c (another_hunk): Avoid invalid memory access in context format
	diffs.

	Don't follow symlinks unless --follow-symlinks is given
	* src/inp.c (plan_a, plan_b), src/util.c (copy_to_fd, copy_file,
	append_to_file): Unless the --follow-symlinks option is given, open files with
	the O_NOFOLLOW flag to avoid following symlinks.  So far, we were only doing
	that consistently for input files.
	* src/util.c (create_backup): When creating empty backup files, (re)create them
	with O_CREAT | O_EXCL to avoid following symlinks in that case as well.

2019-06-28  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Don't crash when RLIMIT_NOFILE is set to RLIM_INFINITY
	* src/safe.c (min_cached_fds): Define minimum number of cached dir file
	descriptors.
	(max_cached_fds): Change type to rlim_t to allow storing RLIM_INFINITY.
	(init_dirfd_cache): Set max_cached_fds to RLIM_INFINITY when RLIMIT_NOFILE is
	RLIM_INFINITY.  Set the initial hash table size to min_cached_fds, independent
	of RLIMIT_NOFILE: patches commonly only affect one or a few files, so a small
	hash table will usually suffice; if needed, the hash table will grow.
	(insert_cached_dirfd): Don't shrink the cache when max_cached_fds is
	RLIM_INFINITY.

	Abort when cleaning up fails
	When a fatal error triggers during cleanup, another attempt will be made to
	clean up, which will likely lead to the same fatal error.  So instead, bail out
	when that happens.
	src/patch.c (cleanup): Bail out when called recursively.
	(main): There is no need to call output_files() before cleanup() as cleanup()
	already does that.

	Rename canonicalize global variable
	* src/common.h, src/merge.c (context_matches_file), src/patch.c
	(get_some_switches, patch_match), src/pch.c(another_hunk): Rename the
	global variable 'canonicalize' to 'canonicalize_ws'.

	Patch uses a global variable 'canonicalize' as part of its
	implementation of the --ignore-whitespace flag.

	In glibc there is a function canonicalize():
	https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/FP-Bit-Twiddling.html#index-canonicalize

	Rename the global variable so that it will not conflict.

2016-08-10  Hanno Boeck  <hanno@gentoo.org>

	Add a missing NULL check in parse_name
	* src/util.c (parse_name): parse_c_string() can fail and return NULL.
	Check for that so that we won't access the NULL pointer here.

	Fix out-of-bounds access to lines in a patch
	This bug can trigger with malformed patches.
	* src/pch.c (pch_write_line): Avoid out-of-bounds access to
	p_line[line][p_len[line] - 1] when p_len[line] is 0.

2016-07-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

	* tests/git-cleanup: Don't hard-code program name.

	maint: placate a "make syntax-check" rule
	* src/pch.c (set_hunkmax): Don't cast return value of xmalloc.
	(grow_hunkmax): Likewise for two uses of realloc that the syntax-check
	rule did not detect.

2016-07-27  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Fix broken git-style patch behavior
	When a git-syle patch is applied, all file modifications are done to
	temporary files which are put in place when the patch ends.  When a
	patch fails, GNU patch was trying to "roll back" to the start.  A bug in
	that code that lead to accidental file deletion was recently discovered
	by Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>.  Even worse though, GNU patch
	should not exhibit this "rollback" behavior in the first place; that's
	not what people expect. Instead, the files modified so far should be put
	in place.
	* src/patch.c (cleanup): Put output files processed successfully
	in place instead of trying to "roll back" to the start.
	(forget_output_files): Remove obsolete (and broken) function.
	* tests/git-cleanup: New broken git-style patch test case that exercises
	the cleanup path.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new test case.

	Fix inname test case
	* src/safe.h (unsafe): New flag to allow turning off safe file
	operations.
	* src/safe.c (safe_xstat, safe_open, safe_rename, safe_mkdir,
	safe_rmdir, safe_unlink, safe_symlink, safe_chmod, safe_lchown,
	safe_lutimens, safe_readlink, safe_access): When safe file operations
	are turned off, skip safe path traversal.  Any symlink checks of the
	last path component are still done though.
	* src/patch.c (main): When the file to patch is specified on the command
	line, turn off safe file operations.
	* tests/inname: Fix typo in test.

	Add context-format test to XFAIL_TESTS for now
	* tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add context-format test until someone
	gets to fixing it.

2016-03-18  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Add broken context-format test cases
	* tests/context-format: Add context-format test cases from
	Mattias Andrée <maandree@member.fsf.org> that patch doesn't parse
	correctly.

2015-10-03  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Don't use a zero-size array in struct symlink
	* src/safe.c (struct symlink): Get rid of the zero-size array which is a gcc
	extension.
	(read_symlink): Adapt to this struct symlink change.

2015-07-20  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Input file outside current directory: add test case
	Patch currently makes sure that input / output files are inside the current
	working directory even when the input files are explicitly specified on the
	command line (see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45581).
	* tests/inname: Add a test case for this bug.

2015-07-12  Tobias Stoeckmann  <tobias@stoeckmann.org>

	Terminate readlink string
	The function readlink does not nul terminate its result string.  safe_readlink
	is a wrapper for readlinkat, which has the same behaviour.
	* src/util.c (copy_file): Therefore, explicitly set '\0' and reserve one byte
	for it.  (agruen: Reserve PATH_MAX + 1 bytes instead of only reading PATH_MAX -
	1 characters.)

2015-07-08  Tobias Stoeckmann  <tobias@stoeckmann.org>

	Use xmalloc in bestmatch
	* src/bestmatch.h (bestmatch): Use xmalloc instead of malloc to handle
	out-of-memory situations.

2015-03-09  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Don't require traditional patch header after "git --diff"
	Reported by Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Don't require a traditional patch header
	("--- old\n+++ new/n") after a "git --diff" header; the "git --diff" header
	gives us enough information for being able to process subsequent hunks.  This
	deals with corrupted patches more gracefully.
	* tests/corrupt-patch: New test case.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.

2015-03-08  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Use gnulib size_max module
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add size_max.
	* configure.ac: Call gl_SIZE_MAX.

2015-03-07  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Version 2.7.5
	* NEWS: Update.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	Allow absolute symlinks that lead back into the working directory
	* src/safe.c (cwd_stat_errno, cwd_stat): stat() result of ".".
	(read_symlink): When a symlink is absolute, check if it leads back into the
	working directory.  If it does, strip off the prefix above the working
	directory. If the symlink points to the working directory, return an empty
	path.
	(traverse_another_path): Recognize empty paths from read_symlink().
	* tests/symlinks: Absolute symlink test cases.

2015-03-05  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Describe better how the dirfd cache works

	Use overflow safe arithmetic for counting cache misses
	* src/safe.c: We don't need a long counter if we use overflow-safe arithmetic
	here.

	Also cache resolved symlinks
	When resolving a symlink in a pathname, we traverse each path component in the
	symlink and cache all of them.  At the end, add an additional cache entry for
	the symlink itself so that we don't have to resolve the symlink again (even
	though this will usually be cached).  Skip that if the symlink's parent isn't
	in the cache anymore, though.
	* src/safe.c (free_cached_dirfd): Remove from parent here instead of in
	callers. Move close() to remove_cached_dirfd() instead.
	(insert_cached_dirfd): Only insert if the entry's parent still exists; entries
	without parent are invalid (see compare_cached_dirfds()); "top-level" entries
	have cwd as their parent.
	(new_cached_dirfd): New function split off from openat_cached().
	(openat_cached): Use new_cached_dirfd() here.
	(traverse_another_path): When starting to resolve a symlink, create an unhashed
	dirfd cache entry for the symlink lookup result. When the symlink is completely
	resolved, add that entry to the cache.

	Invalidate child dirfd cache entries when their parent goes away
	If we don't do that, a directory could be removed from the cache, a new
	directory with the same dirfd could be created, and the entries from the old
	directory would appear in the new directory.
	* src/safe.c (struct cached_dirfd): Keep track of the children of each dirfd
	cache entry.
	(remove_cached_dirfd): Remove all the entry's children from the lookup hash,
	take them off the list of children, and initialize the children's
	children_link.  Then, remove the entry itself from its parent. This has no
	effect if the entry doesn't have a parent because then, children_link is empty.
	(openat_cached): Add new dirfd cache entries to their parent's list of children
	and initialize the entry's list of children.
	(traverse_another_path): Also initialize cwd's list of children.

	Convert lru list into a list_head list
	* src/safe.c (struct cached_dirfd): Replace prev and next with a lru_link
	list_head.
	(lru_list): Turn into a list_head.
	(lru_list_add, lru_list_del, lru_list_del_init): Replace by list_add(),
	list_del(), list_del_init().
	(insert_cached_dirfd): Get to the list entry from the embedded list_head with
	the list_entry() macro.

	Add list_head based double linked list
	* src/list.h: New data structure.
	src/Makefile.am (patch_SOURCES): Add list.h.

	Invalidate dirfd less aggressively
	src/safe.c (safe_rename, safe_rmdir): Only invalidate cache entries when the
	underlying sycall succeeds and the entry actually goes away.  This keeps the
	cache filled upon speculative rmdir when the directory may not be empty, for
	example.

2015-03-05  Tim Waugh  <twaugh@redhat.com>

	Add more path traversal test cases
	* tests/symlinks: Add more path traversal test cases.

2015-03-05  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Move path traversal error reporting into main()
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path): Don't report errors here.
	* src/patch.c (main): Instead, recognize and report them here. Detect when an
	output file name is invalid; it doesn't make sense to try creating a
	reject file based on the same outbut file name in that case.

	Limit the number of path components
	src/safe.c (MAX_PATH_COMPONENTS): The maximum number of path components
	allowed.
	(count_path_components): New function.
	(traverse_another_path): Fail if the number of path components gets too high.

	Follow directory symlinks within the working directory
	* src/safe.c (struct symlink): A symlink to resolve.
	(push_symlink, pop_symlink): New functions.
	(read_symlink): Create a new symlink stack entry.
	(traverse_next): Follow ".." components within the working directory. When
	hitting symlinks, "follow" them by reading and returning them.
	(traverse_another_path): Recursively traverse symlinks.

	Keep track of the directory hierarchy
	* src/safe.c (struct cached_dirfd): Add parent pointer. Now that we know our
	parent, we no longer need to duplicate its directory file descriptor.
	(lookup_cached_dirfd): Don't update the lru list here.
	(insert_cached_dirfd): The lru list may now be empty even if the cache is not.
	(put_path): New function to put a path back into the lru list.
	(openat_cached): Take cached entried off the lru list.  They are added back
	in put_path().
	(traverse_another_path): Put lookup result back into the lru list with
	put_path().

2015-02-28  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Refactor traverse_another_path() and helpers
	Prepare for keeping track of the directory hierarchy:
	* src/safe.c (traverse_another_path): Pass struct cached_dirfd to
	traverse_next().
	(traverse_next, openat_cached): Pass through struct cached_dirfd.

	Move error reporting out of make_tempfile()
	* src/util.c (make_tempfile): Remove error reporting here.
	* src/inp.c (plan_b): Readd error reporting here.
	* src/patch.c (main): Likewise.
	* src/pch.c (open_patch_file): Likewise.

	Minor cosmetic changes
	* src/safe.c: Minor cosmetic changes

2015-02-22  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Fix handling of renamed files
	When a file has already been renamed, make sure it is not renamed back to its
	old name.  Reported by Guido Draheim.
	* src/patch.c (main): Make sure we never rename a file back to its previous
	name. Report when a file was renamed already.
	* tests/copy-rename: Add "already renamed" test cases.

2015-02-10  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Fix symlinks test case on some architectures
	* src/safe.c: Include util.h for say(). Define EFTYPE if it isn't defined
	already.
	(traverse_another_path): When openat fails, also check for EMLINK, EFTYPE, and
	ENOTDIR. Change the error message to "file ... is not a directory" and only
	skip the rest of the patch instead of aborting.
	* tests/symlinks: Update.

2015-02-04  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Test suite portability fixes
	Reported and fixed (mostly) by Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.inka.de>:
	* tests/deep-directories: Avoid the bash >& redirection operator.
	* tests/no-mode-change-git-diff: Instead of "stat -c", use "ls -l  sed".
	* tests/read-only-files: A redirection failure for a special built-in causes
	some shells (FreeBSD sh, OpenBSD sh (pdksh), some bash --posix) to exit, and
	the colon command is a special built-in. Perform the redirection in a subshell.

	Switch from gen_tempname() to try_tempname()
	* Update gnulib submodule to latest.
	* src/util.c (try_safe_open_args, try_safe_open): Arguments and callback for
	try_tempname().
	(make_tempfile): Switch from gen_tempname() to try_tempname().

2015-02-02  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Check the result of the --follow-symlinks option
	* tests/symlinks: Check the result of treating a symlink as a file with
	--follow-symlinks.

2015-02-01  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Link patch with LIB_EACCESS where needed
	* src/Makefile.am (patch_LDADD): Add LIB_EACCESS here. At least on Solaris,
	faccessat() is implemented through eaccess() which is in the "gen" library.

	Fix minor signedness warning
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Don't assign signed dummy value to unsigned
	variable.

	Use gnulib faccessat module
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add faccessat.

2015-01-31  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Upate NEWS

	Fix indentation heuristic for context diffs
	Diffs can be indented by a variable number of spaces, tabs, or X characters.
	Make sure that intuit_diff_type() only accepts context diffs where the first
	and second line are indented identically, or else another_hunk() will fail.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Remember the indentation of the last line. Only
	recognize context diff hunks with the same amount of indentation on the first
	and second line.
	* tests/garbage: New test case.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test case.

2015-01-31  Quentin Casasnovas  <quentin.casasnovas@oracle.com>

	patch: git-diff mode: do not change permissions if there isn't an explicit mode change.

	tests: add a test case for unwanted mode changes.

	test-lib.sh: factorize require_* functions
	Since the code is identical when just checking if a utility is present on
	the system or not, we can factorize it.

2015-01-31  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Add test case for patch behind symlink
	* tests/symlinks: Add a test case where the patch file itself is in a path that
	follows a symbolic link; we want to continue allowing that.

2015-01-31  Tim Waugh  <twaugh@redhat.com>

	Allow arbitrary symlink targets again
	* src/util.c (symlink_target_is_valid): Remove.
	(move_file): Remove symlink target checking.
	* tests/symlinks: Update test case.

2015-01-31  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Update list of gnulib modules used
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove lchmod, lstat, mkdir, readlink,
	rename, mkdir, symlink, unlink, utimens. Add fchownat, fchmodat, fstatat,
	mkdirat, openat, readlinkat, renameat, symlinkat, unlinkat, utimensat.
	* src/util.h: Don't include <utimens.h> anymore.

	Use symlink-safe system call replacements
	Use the symlink-safe replacements for system calls in many places throughout
	the code: In some places this makes patch safe against path traversal attacks;
	in other places, it saves the kernel from having to re-traverse the pathnames.
	* src/inp.c (plan_b): Use safe_open() + fdopen() instead of fopen().
	* src/util.c (copy_attr): Document why we are safe here.
	(create_backup): Use safe_open() instead of creat().

2015-01-31  Tim Waugh  <twaugh@redhat.com>

	Add symlink-safe system call replacements
	Add wrappers around system calls that traverse relative pathnames without
	following symlinks. Written by Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> and Andreas
	Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>.
	* src/safe.h: Declare functions here.
	* src/safe.c: Implement safe_* system call replacements that do not follow
	symlinks along pathnames. Pathname components are resolved with openat().
	Lookup results are cached to keep the overhead reasonably low.
	* tests/deep-directories: New path traversal cache test.
	* src/Makefile.am (patch_SOURCES): Add safe.[ch].
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new test.

2015-01-31  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

2015-01-31  Tim Waugh  <twaugh@redhat.com>

	Avoid closing file descriptor twice
	* src/patch.c (main): Make sure we don't close() outfd after passing it on to
	fdopen(): the file descriptor might have been reused in the meantime.

2015-01-29  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Remove unused variable
	* src/pch.c (name_is_valid): Remove unused variable.

2015-01-22  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Fix the fix for CVE-2015-1196
	* src/util.c (filename_is_safe): New function split off from name_is_valid().
	(symlink_target_is_valid): Explain why we cannot have absolute symlinks or
	symlinks with ".." components for now.
	(move_file): Move absolute filename check here and explain.
	* tests/symlinks: Put test case with ".." symlink in comments for now.
	* NEWS: Add CVE number.

2015-01-21  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	For renames and copies, make sure that both file names are valid
	* src/patch.c (main): Allow there_is_another_patch() to set the
	skip_rest_of_patch flag.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): For renames and copies, also check the "other"
	file name.
	(pch_copy, pch_rename): Now that both names are checked in intuit_diff_type(),
	we know they are defined here.

2015-01-20  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@gnu.org>

	Fail when out of memory in set_hunkmax()
	src/pch.c (another_hunk): Call set_hunkmax() from here to make sure it is
	called even when falling back from plan A to plan B.
	(open_patch_file): No need to call set_hunkmax() anymore.
	src/pch.c (set_hunkmax): Fail when out of memory. Make static.
	src/pch.h: Remove set_hunkmax() prototype.

	Don't try applying hunks at offsets that can't work
	* src/patch.c (locate_hunk): Start trying to apply the hunk at the minimum
	offset which puts the hunk in the valid range of lines. This will often still
	be offset 0.

2015-01-20  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Move symlink_target_is_valid() and cwd_is_root()
	* src/util.c: Move symlink_target_is_valid() and cwd_is_root() here from
	src/pch.c.

2015-01-19  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	Make sure symlinks don't point outside working directory (CVE-2015-119)
	When creating symlinks from git-style patches, make sure the symlinks don't
	point above the current working directory.  Otherwise, a subsequent patch could
	use the symlink to write outside the working directory.

	* src/pch.c (symlink_target_is_valid): New function to check for valid symlink
	targets.
	* src/util.c (move_file): Use symlink_target_is_valid() here.
	* tests/symlinks: Add valid and invalid symlink test cases.

2014-11-30  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@linbit.com>

	Add line number overflow checking
	* bootstrap.conf: use intprops module.
	* src/common.h: Define LINENUM_MIN and LINENUM_MAX macros.
	* src/pch.c (another_hunk): Add line number overflow checking.  Based on Robert
	C. Seacord's INT32-C document for integer overflow checking and Tobias
	Stoeckmann's "integer overflows and oob memory access" patch for FreeBSD.

2014-11-30  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@linbit.com>

	More savebuf/savestr error handling
	* bootstrap.conf: use xmemdup0 module.
	* src/pch.c (there_is_another_patch): Use xmemdup0 instead of savebuf when we
	cannot recover from out-of-memory situations.
	(intuit_diff_type): Likewise, use xstrdup instead of savestr.
	(another_hunk): Handle the case when savestr returns NULL.
	* src/util.c (fetchname, parse_name): Use xmemdup0 instead of savebuf when we
	cannot recover from out-of-memory situations.

	Bugs pointed out by Tobias Stoeckmann <tobias@stoeckmann.org>.

2014-11-30  Tobias Stoeckmann  <tobias@stoeckmann.org>

	savebuf/savestr error handling
	* src/patch.c (get_some_switches): The function savebuf (and therefore savestr)
	copies strings using malloc.  If malloc fails, NULL is returned.  This is
	intentional behavior so that in case of failure during "plan a" patching, "plan
	b" can step in.  The return value has to be properly checked for NULL.  If the
	return value must not be NULL, use xstrdup instead.

2014-11-30  Andreas Gruenbacher  <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest
	* src/merge.c (compute_changes): The TOO_EXPENSIVE heuristic in diffseq has
	been removed, including compareseq's find_minimal parameter and the context's
	too_expensive limit.  Adjust.

2014-11-10  Jean Delvare  <jdelvare@suse.de>

	Drop useless test in another_hunk()
	src/pch.c (another_hunk): This test will always succeed.

2014-10-30  Tobias Stoeckmann  <tobias@stoeckmann.org>

	Buffer overflow on malicious input file
	There is a hard to reach but possible buffer overflow when using
	patch with a very large (modified) input file.  I doubt you will ever
	see this with a 64 bit system, but it's possible with 32 bit:

	$ echo hello > file1
	$ echo world > file2
	$ diff -Nau file1 file2 > file.diff

	Nothing fancy so far.  Adjust file1 so it contains at least one line that
	is 2 GB in size.  Larger is fine too, but stay below 4 GB.

	$ tr '\0' c < /dev/zero | dd bs=1K count=2097152 of=file1

	Now try to patch it.

	$ patch -Np0 -i file.diff
	Segmentation fault

	The issue is in patch's "plan b" strategy  (If your system would still
	want to use "plan a", force patch to use "plan b" through debug flag).

	Plan b writes lines into a temporary file, with equally long lines, so
	it can use a buffer mechanism to access them in a kind of randomly
	fassion.  In order to do that, it retrieves the longest line.

	In this example, it will encounter the 2 GB line and stores that as the
	longest one.  Afterwards it will adjust the tibufsize variable to be
	large enough:

	  for (tibufsize = TIBUFSIZE_MINIMUM;  tibufsize < maxlen;  tibufsize <<= 1)
	    /* do nothing */ ;

	Due to maxlen's size (2 GB), tibufsize will be SIZE_T_MAX, i.e. 4 GB.
	A few lines later it allocates space for the tibuf buffers:

	  tibuf[0] = xmalloc (2 * tibufsize);
	  tibuf[1] = tibuf[0] + tibufsize;

	This will allocate 0 bytes because tibufsize overflowed.  The next
	time patch writes into the buffer, a segmentation fault will occur...
	Depends on your system how long it takes until that happens. ;)

	The fix is simple:  Bail out on lines that are too long.  Patch already
	does that for files that have too many lines.

2013-05-02  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>  (tiny change)

	build: don't use -Werror in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
	Doing so prevents bootstrapping with bleeding-edge autotools,
	because of harmless deprecation warnings (that are not planned
	to become hard errors for at least a few years to come).  And
	unfortunately, options in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE take precedence over
	those given on the command line (this is a long-time wart of
	automake).

	* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Drop '-Werror' option.

	processed.
	* src/patch.c (init_files_to_output, output_files): Add prototypes.
	(main): Remember which type of patch file we are processing.  Initialize the

	(pch_git_diff): New function.

	Remove invalid symlink test case
	* tests/symlinks: Remove test case which deletes and then recreates a symlink:
	all patches in a git-style input file must refer to the "before" state; the
	test case is invalid.

	No longer remember backup files
	Remembering backup files was needed because we would have lost track of deleted
	files before -- but we don't delete files immediately anymore.
	* src/util.c (create_backup_copy): No longer remember backup files.
	(create_backup): Likewise; update comment.
	(move_file): Update create_backup() call.

	(set_file_attributes, create_backup_copy): Make the st argument const.
	(create_backup): Pass in to_st instead of returning it from create_backup().
	This obsoletes the to_errno argument.
	(move_file): Determine to_st here and pass it to create_backup().  Remember
	when a file is overwritten.
	* src/patch.c (output_file): Add to_st parameter.  Remember files to delete
	instead of deleting them immediately.  Pass from-st to create_backup().
	(file_to_delete): New struct.
	(init_files_to_delete, delete_file_later, delete_files): New functions.
	(main): Use init_files_to_delete() and delete_files().  Pass to_st to
	output_file() where we already have it.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Assume that files which are marked for deletion
	don't exist.

	Create and delete output files in a single function
	* src/patch.c (output_file): New function for creating or deleting an output
	file and backing the old file up as needed.

	insert_file(), and lookup_file_id() instead of file_already_seen().
	* src/patch.c (main): Use lookup_file_id() instead of file_already_seen().

	Switch from the `old' gnu quoting style to the 'new' one
	* src/common.h, src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/util.c, src/util.h: Switch from the
	`old' gnu quoting style to the 'new' one in messages and comments.

	* src/util.c (set_file_attributes): Only copy extended attributes if FA_XATTRS
	is set.  Avoid using st where it may be undefined.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Add file create test.

	tests: specify test runner in LOG_COMPILER, not in TEST_ENVIRONMENT
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Don't use $(SHELL) here
	to ensure the test scripts are run through it; instead, ...
	(LOG_COMPILER): ... use it here.

	give a diagnostic rather than a failed assertion for a mangled patch
	* src/pch.c (another_hunk): Rather than asserting(C), issue the
	"replacement text or line numbers mangled ..." diagnostic when !C.
	* tests/mangled-numbers-abort: New test for the above.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
	* NEWS: Mention it.

	build: use largefile module and update to latest gnulib
	* configure.ac: Remove AC_SYS_LARGEFILE, subsumed by ...
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): ...this.  Use largefile module.
	* gnulib: Update to latest.
	This is useful to Mac OS X 10.5 users if/when configure
	is generated using autoconf prior to v2.68-80-gdb2f2e0.

	build: include .version in tarball to avoid distcheck failure
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Append .version, to avoid "make distcheck"
	failure when run from an unpacked tarball.
	Reported by Iain Nicol.

	README: Describe where to go from a "git clone"
	* README: Refer users to README-hacking after a "git clone".

2011-05-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	don't call fdopen with a negative FD upon dup failure
	* src/patch.c (open_outfile): If dup fails, don't clobber its
	errno value by calling fdopen with -1.

	plug a leak in inp.c's plan_a
	* src/inp.c (plan_a): Don't leak "buffer" upon early return.

	emit one more diagnostic with the required "program_name: " prefix
	* src/util.c: Include "error.h".
	(ask): Use error, not perror.  The latter would not have included
	the usual "program name: " prefix.

	remove side effect from assert
	* src/util.c (parse_c_string): Don't increment "s" in assert.

	explicitly ignore close return value to placate static analyzers
	* src/util.c: Include "ignore-value.h".
	(ask): Use ignore_value to tell tools that yes, we really do
	mean to ignore any close failure on this error path.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ignore-value.

	plug a leak in fetchname
	* src/util.c (fetchname): Don't leak "timestr" when returning early.

2011-05-25  Andreas Gruenbacher  <agruen@linbit.com>

	avoid a used-uninitialized error in fetchname
	* src/util.c (fetchname): Avoid a used-uninitialized error.
	Before, when "*t == '\n'", stamp.tv_nsec would have been
	used undefined.  The fix is to set that member rather than
	stamp.tv_sec, which is already set to the desired value.
	This was reported by coverity.

2011-05-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	plug a leak in bestmatch
	* src/bestmatch.h (bestmatch): Don't leak V when returning early.

2011-03-27  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: ignore more build artifacts

	build: don't turn off -Wmissing-declarations
	* configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Don't turn off -Wmissing-declarations
	and admit that it's not worth fixing the few warnings triggered
	by -Wmissing-format-attribute.

	Now, gnulib guarantees that these are defined.
	* src/common.h (SIZE_MAX): Likewise.

	maint: update bootstrap and gnulib submodule
	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove (thus, enable)
	sc_copyright_check, now that the gnulib submodule is up to date.

	maint: update copyright date year ranges to include 2011
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add update-copyright.
	Run "make update-copyright".

	build: avoid three gcc warnings

	* src/version.c (XTERN): Remove unused #undef and #define.

	tests: temporarily disable failing syntax-check rules
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Define, to skip all of the

	maint: arrange for the sc_require_config_h_first test to pass
	* cfg.mk: New file, to configure maint.mk.

	into a file named ChangeLog in each distribution tarball.
	ChangeLog entries prior to today's date are in ChangeLog-2011.
	* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): New rule.
	(dist-hook): Depend on it.
