| 2 | * -fstype core dumps on sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1 with gcc-2.95.2
|
|---|
| 3 | This is on foxtrot.rahul.net. dbx does not work on compiled find.
|
|---|
| 4 | Perhaps gcc is installed incorrectly. "find / -fstype ufs" core dumps
|
|---|
| 5 | quickly. cc works correctly.
|

|

| 7 | * Speed of locate without "-i" option needs to be increased.

| 9 | * Internationalization
|
|---|
| 10 | ** Is ansi2knr internationalized? Does it need to be?
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | ** Should these files be internationalized?
|
|---|
| 13 | strftime.c
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | ** updatedb.sh should be internationalized as well
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | * Eliminate unnecessary strcpy calls in xargs.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | * man pages for frcode, bigram, and code
|
|---|
| 20 | Perhaps a better description in texi pages as well.
|

| 22 | * Add option for find to sort output in lexical order for use for updatedb
|
|---|
| 23 | olarsac@airfrance.fr (Olivier) made the following suggestion:
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | As I was running thru the code looking for the bug I wondered why the updatedb
|
|---|
| 26 | has to use sort...
|
|---|
| 27 | why not add an option to find that sorts the output in lexical order?
|
|---|
| 28 | my point is:
|
|---|
| 29 | - sort on a big list is costly (here we do locate on big big file system)
|
|---|
| 30 | - find may (in theory) sort incrementally very easily by sorting only the current
|
|---|
| 31 | directory entries before recursion
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | * large file problems
|
|---|
| 35 | depcomp gets added by automake
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | * xargs: allow newline or arbitrary character to separate arguments
|
|---|
| 38 | Tyler 'Crackerjack' MacDonald <yi@yi.org> suggested that it would be
|
|---|
| 39 | nice if newlines could separate arguments to xargs. This would allow
|
|---|
| 40 | a single line to be used as an argument, regardless of white space,
|
|---|
| 41 | quotes, and backslash. A function similar to read_string in xargs.c
|
|---|
| 42 | can be written which replaces the line:
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | if (c == '\0')
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | with the appropriate character.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | * investigate _LIBC when used with TOLOWER and TOUPPER
|
|---|
| 49 | _LIBC is used to determine whether TOLOWER should check isupper first.
|
|---|
| 50 | Is there something better to check? Alternatively, can tolower be
|
|---|
| 51 | checked at run time to determine whether isupper should be called first.
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | * BeOS problems with multibyte
|
|---|
| 54 | Bruno Haible reported problems with BeOS.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | * Include example of use of updatedb in documentation.
|
|---|
| 57 | Use something close to the Debian daily cron job.
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | * Side effects do not allow the implicit use of -print.
|
|---|
| 60 | Specifically, the use of -prune turns off the implicit use of -print.
|
|---|
| 61 | Look at this line in find.c:
|
|---|
| 62 | else if (!no_side_effects (predicates->pred_next))
|
|---|
| 63 | side_effects really means:
|
|---|
| 64 | predicate which produces output, according to find.c, at least it does
|
|---|
| 65 | some of the time.
|
|---|
| 66 | Two predicates, side_effects, and produce_output
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | * Supply example for time range commands for find.
