Reported by Assaf Gordon <[email protected]> * tests/test-lock.c: On Mac OS X, use named semaphores, not unnamed (USE_NAMED_SEMAPHORE, USE_UNNAMED_SEMAPHORE): New macros. (atomic_int_semaphore): New macro. Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 3 00:30:20 2017 -0800 timeout: handle multiple children on solaris * src/timeout.c (install_sigchld): A new function to install the SIGCHLD handler using sigaction() rather than signal(), because with the latter on solaris the signal handler is reset to default and thus sigsuspend() only returns for the first finished child. Reported by Assaf Gordon. Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 3 00:25:54 2017 -0800 tests: avoid a spurious failure on older debian * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Bump up the ulimit, to avoid a false failure due hitting the previously detected ulimit. Reported by Assaf Gordon. Author: Pádraig Brady <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 3 00:23:56 2017 -0800 build: fix libstdbuf build on AIX 7 * src/libstdbuf.c: undef malloc so as libstdbuf is not linked with gnulib, and anyway the replacement is never needed since we never malloc(0). Reported by Assaf Gordon. thanks, Pádraig
