christos b54315f23d PR/54756: germain: Avoid confusion caused by overuse of the word "file" both
as a noun and an argument name.
2019-12-14 20:46:13 +00:00
mrg de11d87641 introduce some common variables for use in GCC warning disables:
GCC_NO_FORMAT_TRUNCATION    -Wno-format-truncation (GCC 7/8)
GCC_NO_STRINGOP_TRUNCATION  -Wno-stringop-truncation (GCC 8)
GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW    -Wno-stringop-overflow (GCC 8)
GCC_NO_CAST_FUNCTION_TYPE   -Wno-cast-function-type (GCC 8)

use these to turn off warnings for most GCC-8 complaints.  many
of these are false positives, most of the real bugs are already
commited, or are yet to come.


we plan to introduce versions of (some?) of these that use the
"-Wno-error=" form, which still displays the warnings but does
not make it an error, and all of the above will be re-considered
as either being "fix me" (warning still displayed) or "warning
is wrong."

christos ea4f9899c6 print the name of the disk causing the error. 2019-10-07 20:56:07 +00:00
tnn 3fe2f616e7 mention that -B is used to set the timeout for mbr_bootsel 2019-04-09 09:03:41 +00:00
mlelstv 51aec893ad In validate_bootsel, the code assumed that arr[j][i] can be accessed
with something like arr[0][j*ARRAYWIDTH+i]. gcc no longer allows such
hacks and discards the code silently because of undefined behaviour.

sevan ef7ad9dc67 - Document the HISTORY of fdisk based on the original post to comp.unix.bsd by
Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2.5 Installation notes [2].
I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared
as I didn't find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo
history. fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this,
I've avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.
- Make correction pointed by textproc/igor
- Bump date

If the optional arguments are not provided, they stay as before or
use the same defaults as the interactive mode, if new.

christos 1e0f8240e6 instead of using ugly -1's make args optional 2014-04-03 17:07:11 +00:00
christos 6449a2097b default to something reasonable (like the interactive mode does) instead
of 0 when -1 is specified for the start or size.

martin aad6ef8bb5 Bring back the playstation2 port - now that a toolchain for it is
available again.

christos 58dbdf3810 Allow -1 values in the -s <sysid>/<start>/<size> indicate use the previous
values. For example:
fdisk -f -i /dev/rsd0d # initialize mbr and create an msdos partition.
fdisk -f -u -0 -a -s 169/-1/-1 /dev/rsd0d # converts the msdos partition
to a netbsd one, and makes it active.

tsutsui 0532bb776d Use ${DESTDIR}/usr/mdec for DEFAULT_BOOTDIR on tools fdisk(8)
rather than unknown build host's /usr/mdec directory.

XXX: no option to leave MBR bootcode empty on x86 targets
2012-06-05 13:41:23 +00:00
tsutsui 56ed3d51fc Don't use "#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)" conditionals
in C source file to define option features.
Define proper options in each Makefile per ${MACHINE_ARCH} variable instead.

Previously if a host is x86 and it has /usr/mdec/mbr file in its system,
tools fdisk implicitly installs it as mbr bootcode even for !x86 targets.

riz 99370de066 According to most other OSes and documentation sources, an MBR has
one "extended" partition and the partitions inside that are "logical"
partitions.  Make fdisk(8) man page follow suit.

Patch from Julian Fagir in PR#45695.

christos 765bd39696 Also ignore out of space conditions for -I so we can create overlapping
