* src/timeout.c (main): Reset the SIGCHLD handler to the default
as otherwise wait() could return -1 and set errno to ECHILD.
This condition was ignored until commit 0b1dcf33, on 31-08-2009,
"timeout: defensive handling of all wait() errors"
but subsequently timeout would run the command correctly
but then fail with an error message.
* tests/misc/timeout: In a subshell set the CHLD handler to
SIG_IGN to ensure the timeout command resets it to SIG_DFL.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines.
perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$')
* tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts.
* tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts
Suggested by Eric Blake.
* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63
* tests/**: Convert all uses:
This restrictive change converted the vast majority:
git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^\(exit \$fail\); exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/'
And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually
backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk:
git grep -l -E '\(exit [^)]+\); exit ' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/\(exit (.+?)\); exit \1/Exit $1/'
Change exit values from ETIMEDOUT and ECANCELED,
the values of which are system dependent, to
124 and 125 respectively.
