RHBA-2012:0753 - indent bug fix update


Synopsis

indent bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated indent package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The indent package provides a utility to convert from one C writing style to a different one. Indent understands correct C syntax and can handle incorrect C syntax.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, suffixes were incorrectly separated when running the indent utility on code with decimal float constants. As a consequence, indent could encounter a compilation syntax error. This update modifies indent to understand decimal float suffixes as proposed by the N1312 draft of ISO/IEC WDTR24732. Now, indent handles decimal float constants as expected. (BZ#733265)

  • Prior to this update, the internal test-suite did not signal test failure by exit code if indent failed to pass the test. This update adds an exit call with non-zero value to signal failure. (BZ#784304)

All users of indent are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
