take decoder names an example, with the default page length, shell command 'pr' needs two pages for all the decoder names. The names are firstly printed in the first page, then in the second page. So, as a whole, the names are sorted neither in column order nor in row order. It's a little confused.
One method is to calculate the proper page length, so all the names are printed in one page by 'pr -l', and so strictly in alphabet order, column by column. Another method is to use command printf instead of pr, because buybox doesn't have pr. This patch refines print_in_columns to print the names with printf in alphabet order, very similar with 'pr -l', except the case when the last column is not fully filled with names. contributor: Alexander Strasser <eclip...@gmx.net> contributor: avih <avih...@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Guo, Yejun <yejun....@intel.com> --- configure | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure b/configure index 3b11ffe..ad1b183 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -3832,8 +3832,30 @@ die_unknown(){ } print_in_columns() { - cols=$(expr $ncols / 24) - cat | tr ' ' '\n' | sort | pr -r "-$cols" -w $ncols -t + # the input should not contain chars such as '*', + # otherwise, '*' will be expanded to be all files in the current + # working directory which don't begin with a dot (`.`) + set -- $(tr ' ' '\n' | sort) + col_width=24 + if [ $ncols -lt $col_width ]; then + col_width=$ncols + fi + cols=$(($ncols / $col_width)) + rows=$(($(($# + $cols - 1)) / $cols)) + cols_seq=$(seq $cols) + rows_seq=$(seq $rows) + for row in $rows_seq; do + print_index=$row + print_line="" + for col in $cols_seq; do + if [ $print_index -le $# ]; then + eval print_line='"$print_line "${'$print_index'}' + fi + print_index=$(($print_index + $rows)) + done + printf "%-${col_width}s" $print_line + printf "\n" + done | sed 's/ *$//' } show_list() { -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
