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
Previously, the implementation would conditionally exit based on the
status argument, which GCC did not know about. This leads to
false uninitialized variable warnings when data is accessed after a
TEST_VERIFY_EXIT failure (from code which would never execute).
This causes more test programs to link in the support_record_failure
function, which triggers an early call to mmap from an ELF
constructor, but this should not have side effects intefering
with the functionality actually under test (unlike, say, a call
to malloc).
The new functions support_record_failure records a test failure,
but does not terminate the process. The macros TEST_VERIFY
and TEST_VERIFY_EXIT check that a condition is true.
