Re: fts: make find *much* faster on dirent.d_type-challenged FS

Have you built gcc on AIX 4.x? Personally? Not recently. I've done so in the past. The person who builds the AIX binaries for TL is Vladimir Volovich. As I recall, vvv told me that he did have gcc on AIX, but that the resulting binaries were both slower and bigger than the IBM C compiler r

Please excuse my (mostly-ignorant) intrusion, but are you sure Red Hat does not already have an assignment on file? (I'm sure I heard somewhere that they do at least for certain GNU projects...) Indeed, Red Hat does, as an employer. I have been told that RH employees don't even need

Re: [PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

Hi David, Thanks for proposing such a nice module! Uses of malloc/realloc really need a lot of attention and care, and I've also produced bug #7 (memory leak if realloc fails) more than once. For a module as basic as this one, in gnulib, I think it's essential that the copyright is with the FSF.

[PATCH] Add 'safe-alloc' module

Hi, attached is a patch for a new module 'safe-alloc'. The module originated with libvirt[1] and was originally written by Dan Berrange. I touched it up for inclusion into gnulib. I've found them useful for some of my projects, and thought that putting them into gnulib would be much better than si
