I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
file_change_detection_for_stat partially initialize
struct file_change_detection in some cases, when the size member
alone determines the outcome of all comparisons. This results
in maybe-uninitialized compiler warnings in case of sufficiently
aggressive inlining.
Once the implementation is moved into a separate C file, this kind
of inlining is no longer possible, so the compiler warnings are gone.
The code started out with bits form resolv/resolv_conf.c, but it
was enhanced to deal with directories and FIFOs in a more predictable
manner. A test case is included as well.
This will be used to implement the /etc/resolv.conf change detection.
This currently lives in a header file only. Once there are multiple
users, the implementations should be moved into C files.
