[PATCH v2 0/2] auto-detect getdelim()

[PATCH v2 0/2] auto-detect getdelim()

[Eric Sunshine]

This series updates config.mak.uname to define HAVE_GETDELIM on Mac OS X
when appropriate, and adds a configure check for the same.

Changes since v1[1]:

patch 1/2 -- optimize OS X version recognition:

* Use `...` for 'expr' invocation to extract digits from $(uname_R),
  thus only a fork(), rather than gmake $(shell...), which spawns via
  fork()+exec().

* Use 'test' relational operator -ge rather than 'expr >=', along with
  'echo' to compare version number. Since 'test' and 'echo' are
  typically shell builtins, this should be faster than invoking 'expr' a
  second time.

patch 2/2 -- unchanged

[PATCH v2 1/2] config.mak.uname: Darwin: define HAVE_GETDELIM for modern OS X releases

[Eric Sunshine]

On Mac OS X, getdelim() first became available with Xcode 4.1[1], which
was released the same day as OS X 10.7 "Lion", so assume getdelim()
availability from 10.7 onward. (As of this writing, OS X is at 10.10
"Yosemite".)

According to Wikipedia[2], 4.1 was also available for download by paying
developers on OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard", so it's possible that some 10.6
machines may have getdelim(). However, as strbuf's use of getdelim() is
purely an optimization, let's be conservative and assume 10.6 and
earlier lack getdelim().

[1]: Or, possibly with Xcode 4.0, but that version is no longer
     available for download, or not available to non-paying developers,
     so testing is not possible.

[PATCH v2 2/2] configure: add getdelim() check

[Eric Sunshine]

As an optimization, strbuf will take advantage of getdelim() if
available, so add a configure check which defines HAVE_GETDELIM if
found.

Thanks, this version looks good to me.
