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
alloc_buffer_next is useful for peeking to the remaining part of the
buffer and update it, with subsequent allocation (once the length
is known) using alloc_buffer_alloc_bytes. This is not as robust
as the other interfaces, but it allows using alloc_buffer with
string-writing interfaces such as snprintf and ns_name_ntop.
This commit adds fixed-size allocation buffers. The primary use
case is in NSS modules, where dynamically sized data is stored
in a fixed-size buffer provided by the caller.
Other uses include a replacement of mempcpy cascades (which is
safer due to the size checking inherent to allocation buffers).
