gawk: disable persistent memory allocator due to licensing

2025-10-13T17:01:03+00:00

In gawk-5.2, a feature that allows gawk to preserve memory between runs: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Persistent-Memory.html was added. The files that implement this, support/pma.[ch], are licensed under the AGPL3 which some entities perfer to avoid. Force people to knowingly opt into using this feature and license using: PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-gawk = " pma-if-64bit" where pma is an abbreviation for persistent memory allocator and the "-if-64bit" suffix is a indicator to users that the feature only works for 64 bit targets. Also add AGPL to LICENSE and LICENSE:${PN}, when using pma. Correct the license to be AGPL-3.0-or-later. There hasn't been a change in the license terms, at least for main.c, haven't changed significantly in the last 15 years: License-Update: Reflects conditional AGPL use and more as described above. Testing requires a non-root account and following the example in the link above: $ truncate -s data.pma $ chmod 0600 data.pma $ GAWK_PERSIST_FILE=data.pma gawk 'BEGIN { print ++i }' 1 $ GAWK_PERSIST_FILE=data.pma gawk 'BEGIN { print ++i }' 2 $ GAWK_PERSIST_FILE=data.pma gawk 'BEGIN { print ++i }' 3 This works on qemu[x86-|arm|riscv]64 but not on qemu[arm|x86] where the --enable-pma is ignored because there is a requirement and build-time test for 8 byte void pointers in m4/pma.m4: if test "$SKIP_PERSIST_MALLOC" = no && test $ac_cv_sizeof_void_p -eq 8 Finally, remove an old comment about GPLv2, GPLv3 versions of gawk since this is no longer important as the GPLv2 version is not maintained.

gawk: fix readline detection

2024-05-22T09:21:27+00:00

The code fragment used to detect readline in cross builds doesn't compile cleanly with GCC 14.1, so readline is never enabled. Add missing includes so the test works, and readline can be enabled.

gawk: Add coreutils to rdeps for ptests package

2024-01-07T12:24:57+00:00

newer gawk 5.3.0+ added a new testcase test/cmdlinefsbacknl2.sh which use od utility with -An option which is not available in busybox provided od applet. Replacing -An is not possible because default output for od is octal and the test wants to use none for radix thats why it uses -An. Fixes test/cmdlinefsbacknl2.sh failures in ptests which fails like below Usage: od [-aBbcDdeFfHhIiLlOovXx] [FILE] od: unrecognized option: A BusyBox v1.36.1 () multi-call binary. Sadly, this prolongs depchain if ptest distro feature is used but there is no other option if this test has to execute. Perhaps its best to report this to upstream gawk and request to fix the testcase to not hard depend on coreutils/od utility (From OE-Core rev: ddcf27939625d96ee44e9c2297d5b17fa6cf46a0) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
