Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
Wherever we had code which did:
if (something_bad) {
perror (...);
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
replace this with use of the error(3) function:
if (something_bad)
error (EXIT_FAILURE, errno, ...);
The error(3) function is supplied by glibc, or by gnulib on platforms
which don't have it, and is much more flexible than perror(3). Since
we already use error(3), there seems to be no downside to mandating it
everywhere.
Note there is one nasty catch with error(3): error (EXIT_SUCCESS, ...)
does *not* exit! This is also the reason why error(3) cannot be
marked as __attribute__((noreturn)).
Because the examples can't use gnulib, I did not change them.
To search for multiline patterns of the above form, pcregrep -M turns
out to be very useful:
pcregrep --buffer-size 10M -M '\bperror\b.*\n.*\bexit\b' `git ls-files`
Because of previous automated commits, such as changing 'guestfs___'
-> 'guestfs_int_', several function calls no longer lined up with
their parameters, and some lines were too long.
The bulk of this commit was done using emacs batch mode and the
technique described here:
http://www.cslab.pepperdine.edu/warford/BatchIndentationEmacs.html
The changes suggested by emacs were then reviewed by hand.
Replaces code such as:
fd = open "test1.img"
ftruncate fd, size
close fd
g.add_drive "test1.img"
with the shorter and simpler:
g.add_drive_scratch size
