This series is based off an off-hand comment I made about making the cmdlist.sh faster, in the meantime much of the same methods are already cooking in "next" for the "lint-docs" target. See 7/8 for the main performance numbers, along the way I stole some patches from Johannes Sixt who'd worked on optimizing the script before, which compliment this new method of generating this file by piggy-backing more on GNU make for managing a dependency graph for us. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/87r1gqxqxn.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Johannes Sixt (2): generate-cmdlist.sh: spawn fewer processes generate-cmdlist.sh: replace for loop by printf's auto-repeat feature Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (6): command-list.txt: sort with "LC_ALL=C sort" generate-cmdlist.sh: trivial whitespace change generate-cmdlist.sh: don't call get_categories() from category_list() generate-cmdlist.sh: run "grep | sort", not "sort | grep" Makefile: stop having command-list.h depend on a wildcard Makefile: assert correct generate-cmdlist.sh output .gitignore | 1 + Makefile | 57 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- command-list.txt | 20 ++++++++-------- generate-cmdlist.sh | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- help.c | 3 --- 5 files changed, 99 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) -- 2.33.1.1338.g20da966911a
