From 5d40b668743e5055a7b049f0d48bb87bbb4ecc0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Stephan T. Lavavej" Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2017 16:12:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] grep: Fix directory recursion on MS-Windows. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit gnulib recently gained a module, windows-stat-inodes, that fixes directory recursion on MS-Windows. No changes to grep's C sources are required; grep simply needs to request the module during configuration. When grep requests this module, its configure script will gain the behavior that was implemented in windows-stat-inodes.m4. This detects mingw and sets WINDOWS_STAT_INODES=1. All other platforms are unaffected, setting WINDOWS_STAT_INODES=0 (which is what's happening in the absence of this patch). Thanks to Pär Björklund who diagnosed the problem as involving inodes, and thanks to Václav Haisman who provided the bootstrap.conf patch. --- NEWS | 6 ++++++ bootstrap.conf | 1 + 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 9ed78fb..51a1529 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -8,6 +8,12 @@ GNU grep NEWS -*- outline -*- when a file is listed, instead of when a line is selected.
