current gnulib regex breaks in gawk

Hi. I happened to notice that regex has been updated with new, er, stuff. Dropping the code into gawk, including copying over attribute.h, dynarray.h and malloc/*, doesn't work. Compilation chokes. I have not yet investigated what the changes are, but I have to wonder if the churn is really need

c32is*: Avoid test failures on MidnightBSD

MidnightBSD is a FreeBSD derivative [1]. At the uname level, it identifies itself as "MidnightBSD", but on the preprocessor level it merely defines __FreeBSD__. I see a couple of test failures on MidnightBSD 1.1: FAIL: test-c32isalnum.sh ../../gltests/test-c32isalnum.c:1

relocatable-prog: Add support for MidnightBSD

For creating relocatable installations, the ELF $ORIGIN trick works on MidnightBSD 1.1, just like on glibc and FreeBSD and some other platforms. Namely, passing '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,\$ORIGIN/../lib' to the compiler causes the resulting executable to contain an RPATH and a RUNPATH of '$ORIGIN/../lib' (as

c-stack: Adjust for MidnightBSD

> Bus error > test-immutable.sh: test case 2 failed > Bus error > test-immutable.sh: test case 3 failed > FAIL test-immutable.sh (exit status: 1) Accordingly, the 'c-stack' module must also install a SIGBUS handler on this platform. 2021-02-07 Bruno Haible c-stack: Adjust for Midnigh

Add cross-compilation guesses for MidnightBSD

This patch adds "guessed" results for MidnightBSD to the configure tests. For most of them, the result was determined by looking at the config.cache file of an appropriate testdir. The result in posix_spawn.m4 was determined by copying and running the test program outside of configure. The resul

Hello, This is in the reference to bugzilla entry #19038[1] for glibc. It was suggested to submit this patch on this mailing list as the argp module is shared in gnulib. The details for the bug and the patch are as follows. Overview: argp.doc prints incorrectly when it starts with '\v'. In argp-h

data structures for use in signal handlers

Hi Marc, Ben, I need your expertise regarding data structures. Assume a program has a signal handler, which needs to share some data structure with the rest of the program. There are two cases: (A) Assume that the program is single-threaded. Then it is sufficient to use 'volatile' variables
