Indeed, much better: $ wc `hg st -u | cut -c2-` 378 1324 10439 src/gllib/canonicalize-lgpl.c 53 261 2011 src/gllib/dosname.h 91 490 3191 src/gllib/lstat.c 48 227 1525 src/gllib/pathmax.h 74 347 2355 src/gllib/readlink.c 105 458 3425 src/gllib/stat.c 658 2489 18324 src/gllib/sys_stat.in.h 249 1093 9223 src/gllib/time.in.h 94 274 2986 src/glm4/canonicalize.m4 38 212 1621 src/glm4/double-slash-root.m4 69 274 2652 src/glm4/lstat.m4 13 55 441 src/glm4/pathmax.m4 62 210 2218 src/glm4/readlink.m4 66 250 2436 src/glm4/stat.m4 82 259 3278 src/glm4/sys_stat_h.m4 109 305 4247 src/glm4/time_h.m4 2189 8528 70372 total Still I get 2000+ lines to replace 200- lines I have. >> People, this is ridiculous. > > canonicalize no longer even provides realpath(). But again, I would be perfectly fine with canonicalize_file_name() instead of realpath(). > realpath.texi tells you to use canonicalize-lgpl rather than canonicalize. What I was complaining about is that I have to pull 150+ _files_ to define a function whose C code takes about the same number of _lines_. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on CentOS release 5.6 (Final) X 11.0.60900031 http://thereligionofpeace.com http://jihadwatch.org http://dhimmi.com http://honestreporting.com http://truepeace.org Single tasking: Just Say No.
