This commit adds `cargo update` to the distclean target in the
makefile. This updates the Cargo.lock file when clearing the
deps directory.
In addition, it adds a faster implementation of the Sieve of
Eratosthenes for use by `src/factor/gen_table.rs` and `test/factor.rs`.
In addition to upgrading the nightly build, I flattened the Stat struct
to embed the metadata fields. This simplified access to the values, but
needed a constructor method for ergonomic reasons.
In addition to upgrading to the nightly build, I refactored the method
that creates the directories by switching from a recursive approach to
an iterative one. I also replaced the obsolete fs::mkdir() with a custom
method using fs::create_dir() and libc::chmod(). I added several
diagnostic messages that match the GNU implementation.
I updated to the nightly build, completed support for the verbose flag,
and refactored the canonicalization method to simplify and add support
for Windows paths.
This commit updates `cut` to build on rust nightly.
In addition, it adds support for null input and output delimiters,
and fixes a bug in the `cut_characters()` function that would cause
incorrect output when two adjacent fields were specified in the range
list.
Aside from the usual upgrades to sync with the nightly build, I fixed an
unwrap() panic when reading lines with only a newline. I also refactored
the repeated command calls to use helper functions.
I created random data to test several cases. I verified that the data is
split into the correct number of files and can also be reassembled into
the original file.
The GNU implementation first strips all trailing slashes before deleting
the directory portion. This case wasn't handled.
I also rewrote the method that strips the directory to use the PathBuf
methods for improved platform-indepedence.
In addition, this commit brings the behavior of `rm` better in line
with the behavior of GNU Coreutils rm, especially as regarding recursive
interactive deletion of directories. This version asks to delete files
in a different order from GNU rm, but it now gives the option of stopping
the recursion at each new directory that is reached.
This change does the following:
1. Updates the arithmetic functions in `src/factor/numeric.rs` to
correctly handle all cases up to 2^64. When numbers are larger
than 2^63, we fall back to slightly slower routines that check
for and handle overflow.
2. Since the arithmetic functions will now not overflow, we no longer
need the safety net trial division implementation. We now always
use Pollard's rho after eliminating small (<=13 bit) primes.
3. Slight tweak in `src/factor/gen_table.rs` to generate the first
1027 primes, which means we test every prime of 13 or fewer bits
before going into Pollard's rho. Includes corresponding update in
`src/factor/prime_table.rs` and the Makefile to reflect this.
4. Add a new test that generates random numbers with exclusively
large (14 to 50 bit) prime factors. This exercises the possible
overflow paths.
5. Add another new test that checks the `is_prime()` function against
a few dozen 64-bit primes. Again this is to exercise possible
overflow paths.
Add a test for `factor`.
This commit also pulls factor's Sieve implementation into its own module
so that the factor test can use it.
Finally, slight refactoring for clarity in gen_table.rs.
This commit builds upon @wikol's Pollard rho implementation.
It adds the following:
1. A generator for prime inverse tables. With these, we can do
very fast divisibility tests (a single multiply and comparison)
for small primes (presently, the first 1000 primes are in the
table, which means all numbers of ~26 bits or less can be
factored very quickly.
2. Always try prime inverse tables before jumping into Pollard's
rho method or using trial division.
3. Since we have eliminated all small factors by the time we're
done with the table division, only use slow trial division when
the number is big enough to cause overflow issues in Pollard's
rho, and jump out of trial division and into Pollard's rho as
soon as the number is small enough.
4. Updates the Makefile to regenerate the prime table if it's not
up-to-date.
The utility need a substantial rewrite due to library changes and
lifetime issues. I needed to implement the MultiWriter struct since it
was no longer available.
I upgraded to the recent Rust release. The only major change was the
reduction of the sleep millisecond resolution from u64 to u32 (this
matches the thread::sleep_ms() method).
This is a reworked version of expand. I did this for two main
reasons:
1. The previous version assumed the input was UTF-8. This
version is compatible with both UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 inputs.
2. This version has a new flag, -U, which forces expand to
treat input as 8-bit ASCII rather than interpreting it
as UTF-8. This might be handy in some cases.
This is a reworked version of unexpand. I did this for two main
reasons:
1. The previous version of unexpand had issues correctly computing
tabstops when the `-a` flag was supplied.
2. The previous version assumed the input was UTF-8. This version works
with non-UTF-8 inputs.
3. This version has a new flag, -U, which forces unexpand to
treat input as 8-bit ASCII rather than interpreting it
as UTF-8. This might be handy in some cases.
