RHBA-2012:0753 - Bug Fix Advisory

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
