[bug-diffutils] bug#34376: How to submit a bug fix?

[Richard Gering]

Greetings,

 

I discovered a bug in GNU diff 3.7 that causes it to not report differences on Windows if two files have the same size and timestamp.

 

A fix for this bug was made. I also had to make some changes to allow the code to get cross-compiled via Mingw64.

 

Are you interested in receiving these fixes? If so, how would you like me to submit them? Create a patch file or send the modified source files (small) in their entirety.

 

Unrelated, but I'm curious how gnulib-tests/setlocale.c is supposed to get compiled, as the code relies on a localename.h file that is neither included nor generated, and I couldn't find any documentation towards this file either. It is easily solved by creating a stub localename.h file, but is that the expected solution?

 

Thanks in advance for your reply. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

With kind regards,

 

- Richard.
