Later one can happens if lseek(fileno(fd),...) called f.e. POSIX says that
ungetc beyond beginning of the file results are undefined, so we can just
discard some of ungetc data in that case.

2b618987fe Rip out the old __stdin/out/err stuff. It was completely 100% useless. :-(
It was foiled because of dynamic copy relocations that caused compile-time
space to be reserved in .bss and at run time a blob of data was copied to
that space and everything used the .bss version..  The problem is that
the space is reserved at compile time, not runtime... So we *still* could
not change the size of FILE.  Sigh.  :-(

Replace it with something that does actually work and really does let us
make 'FILE' extendable.  It also happens to be the same as Linux does in
glibc, but has the slight cost of a pointer.  Note that this is the
same cost that 'fp = fopen(), fprintf(fp, ...); fclose(fp);' has.
Fortunately, actual references to stdin/out/err are not all that common
since we have implicit stdin/out/err-using versions of functions
(printf() vs. fprintf()).

4524204190 Fix the problems I (and others, undoubtedly) have been having for a
while with threaded software in -CURRENT acting very "weird".  It has
seemed, for example, in Mozilla that threads attempting to do host
lookups have been locking up.  That's exactly the case.

There was a race condition in the implementation of the initialization
of the mutex used to protect FILE operations, first of all: multiple
instances of FLOCKFILE() in libc could occur on the same FILE at
the same time and cause strange behavior by overwriting eachothers'
creation of the mutex and the rest of the file lock.

Secondly, it's not appropriate to test the "validity" of the file
descriptor referenced by the FILE; if the code is calling FLOCKFILE()
or FUNLOCKFILE(), it wants the FILE to be locked or unlocked, not
to be locked or unlocked on the condition that _file is >= 0.  This
also could quite easily cause leaks by failing to perform the lock or
unlock operation when it actually is needed.

Mozilla now works again on -CURRENT when linked to libc_r.so.5 and
libc.so.5.

3d92fc05aa Place some hooks (__stdin, __stdout, __stderr) into libc for a future
ABI change.  There is some serious evilness here to work around some
gcc weaknesses.  We need to know the sizeof(FILE) manually until __sF
goes away in the next major bump.  We have the size for Alpha and i386,
missing is ia64, ppc and sparc* (and i386 with 64 bit longs).
At some point down the track we can change the stdin etc #defines to
stop hard coding the size of FILE into application binaries.

ff9dc074b5 Commit a libc fix going by the current state of the version numbering
bikeshed in -arch.  It isn't quite over, but it has been well established
that this can be adjusted or refined.  But we do seem to have consensis
on a major bump of some sort.  After this, it should reasonably safe
to build world again.

This change is to get rid of __sF[] and use seperate __stdin/out/err
handles.  This means we can pad on extra bits onto the end of FILE
at will without going through this all over again.  __sF[] was evil
because it compiled the sizeof(FILE) into every stdio using program.

9b8ff47f40 Take advantage of the current libc sizeof(FILE) breakage (__sF[]) and
try a hopefully more robust stdin/stdout/stderr.  This costs an indirect
pointer fetch, but saves us from changes in 'FILE'.  The __stdin stuff
is there to not pollute application name space if the application does
not use <stdio.h> and also in case something depended on the current
behavior where stdin etc was a #define.

29ac6bd228 libc MT-safety, part 2.
Add a lock to FILE.  flockfile and friends are now implemented
(for the most part) in libc.  flockfile_debug is implemented in
libc_r; I suppose it's about time to kill it but will do it in
a future commit.

Fix a potential deadlock in _fwalk in a threaded environment.
A file flag (__SIGN) was added to stdio.h that, when set, tells
_fwalk to ignore it in its walk.  This seemed to be needed in
refill.c because each file needs to be locked when flushing.

Add a stub for pthread_self in libc.  This is needed by flockfile
which is allowed by POSIX to be recursive.

Make fgetpos() error return value (-1) match man page.

Remove recursive calls to locked functions (stdio); I think I've
got them all, but I may have missed a couple.

d201fe46e3 Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions.  If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
	__sys_foo - actual system call
	_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
	foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo.  In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde).  All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes.  <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h  namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE.  We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

f1303ab4b2 Increase the size of the mktemp() filename space by dropping the PID from
the encoding and using the character set [a-zA-Z0-9]. This gives a total
of 62^6 = 56800235584 possible temporary filenames for the usual default
invocation of 6 X's (compared to as few as 52 possibilities for the
previous algorithm where up to 5 characters were wasted by the PID).

Update some apparently bitrotten comments to reflect reality.

9233c4d942 Simplify sytem call renaming. Instead of _foo() <-- _libc_foo <-- foo(),
just use _foo() <-- foo().  In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate.  In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().

Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().

Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),

has, I think this is a little better as we terminate the loop in a better

e0b123f6d0 1) Oops! Insert again if (n == 0) return 0.
Final word is Bruce's quote:

C9x specifies the BSD4.4-Lite behaviour:

       [#3] ...   Thus,  the
       null-terminated  output  has  been completely written if and
       only if the returned value is less than n.

It means that if we not have any null-terminated output as for n == 0
we can't return value less than n, so we forced to return value
equal to n i.e. 0

The next good thing is glibc compatibility, of course.

2) Do check for too big n in machine-independent way.

5ebfa8de69 Back out part related to "return 0 if n == 0" and return EOF as before.
The main argument is that it is impossible to determine if %n evaluated or not
when snprintf return 0, because it can happens for both n == 0 and n == 1.
Although EOF here is good indication of the end of process, if n is
decreased in the loop...
Since it is already supposed in many places that EOF *is* negative, f.e.
from Single Unix specs for snprintf
"return ... a negative value if an output error was encountered"
this not makes situation worse.

4ecaf22055 snprintf return value fixes to conform Single Unix specs:
1) if buffer size is smaller than arguments size, return buffer
size, not arguments size as before.

2) if buffer size is 0, return 0, not EOF as before.
(now it is compatible with Linux and Apache implementations too).

NOTE: Single Unix specs says:

If the value of n {buffer size} is zero on a call to snprintf(), an
unspecified value less than 1 is returned.

It means we can't return EOF since EOF can take *any* value in general
not especially < 1. Better variant will be return -1 (it is less then
1 and different with n == 1 case) but -1 value is already occuped by
EOF in our implementation, so we can't distinguish true IO error
in that case. So 0 here is only possible case still conforming
to Single Unix specs.

8fddd06099 Fixed long double formats. They were mostly not implemented except
on systems where long doubles are just doubles.  FreeBSD hasn't
been such a system since it started using gcc-2.5 many years ago.
The fix is of low quality.  It loses precision.

scanf() of long doubles doesn't seem to be used much, but gdb-4.16
uses %Lg format in its expression parser if it thinks that the
system supports printf'ing of long doubles.  The symptom was that
floating point literals were usually interpreted to be 0.0.

e48f3cfbfc Rework previous commit.. I was confused by the number of diffs in the PR
and forgot what I was trying to do originally and accidently zapped
a feature. :-]  The problem is that we are converting a counted buffer in
a malloc pool into a null terminated C-style string.  I was calling realloc
originally to shrink the buffer to the desired size.  If realloc failed, we
still returned the valid buffer - the only thing wrong was it was a tad
too large.  The previous commit disabled this.

This commit now handles the three cases..
1: the buffer is exactly right for the null byte to terminate the
string (we don't call realloc).
2: it's got h.left = 0, so we must expand it to make room. If realloc
fails here, it's fatal.
3: if there's too much room, we realloc to shrink it - a failed realloc
is not fatal, we use the original buffer which is still valid.

e836e480dc Fixed handling of input failure by the scanf family.
- 0 was returned instead of EOF when an input failure occured while
  skipping white-space after 0 assignments.  This fixes PR2606.  The
  diagnosis in PR2606 is wrong.
- EOF was returned instead of 0 when an input failure occurred after
  zero assignments and nonzero suppressed assignments.
- EOF was spelled -1.

This should be in 2.2.

efb7e53d32 The following patch to lib/libc/stdio implements positional arguments in
a manner consistent with other implementations.  Its done in a way that
adds only a tiny amount of overhead when positional arguments are not used.

Added $Id$'s to files that were lacking them (gpalmer), made some
cosmetic changes to conform to style guidelines (bde) and checked
against NetBSD and Lite2 to remove unnecessary divergences (hsu, bde)

One last code cleanup:-

Removed spurious casts in fseek.c and stdio.c.
Added missing function argument in fwalk.c.
Added missing header include in flags.c and rget.c.
Put in casts where int's were being passed as size_t's.
Put in missing prototypes for static functions.
Changed second args of __sflags() inflags.c and writehook() in vasprintf.c
from char * to const char * to conform to prototypes.

This directory now compiles with no warnings with -Wall under
gcc-2.6.3 and with considerably less warnings than before with the
ultra-pedantic script I used for testing. (Most of the remaining ones
are due to const poisoning).

15aa00d597 Add an implementation of the gnu-ish asprintf() and vasprintf(). They are
not based on gpl'ed code, just prototype and usage.  I'm not 100% certain
they behave the same while the system is in trouble (eg: malloc() failing)
but in those circumstances all bets would be off anyway.

These routines work like sprintf() and vsprintf(), except that instead of
using a fixed buffer, they allocate memory and return it to the user
and it's the user's responsibility to free() it.  They have allocate as
much memory as they need (and can get), so the size of strings it can deal
with is limited only by the amount of memory it can malloc() on your
behalf.

There are a few gpl'ed programs starting to use this interface, and it's
becoming more common with the scares about security risks with sprintf().
I dont like the look of the code that the various programs (including
cvs, gdb, libg++, etc) provide if configure can't find it on the system.

It should be possible to modify the stdio core code to provide this
interface more efficiently, I was more worried about having something
that worked and was secure.  :-)  (I noticed that there was once intended
to be a smprintf() routine when our stdio was written for 4.4BSD, but it
looks pretty stillborn, and it's intended interface is not clear).  Since
Linux and gnu libc have this interface, it seemed silly to bring yet
another one onto the scene.

From: Chris Torek <torek@bsdi.com>
Here is a semi-official patch (apply to /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/fseek.c,
rebuild libc, install).  The current code fails when the seek:

  - is optimized, and
  - is to just past the end of the block currently in the buffer, and
  - is followed by another seek with no intervening read operation, and
  - the destination of subsequent seek is within the block left in the
    buffer (seeking to the beginning of a block does not force a read,
    so the buffer still contains the previous block)

so it is indeed rather obscure.

I may have a different `final' fix, as this one `loses' the buffer
contents on a seek that goes just past the end of the current block.

[Footnote: seeks are optimized only on read-only opens of regular
files that are buffered by the file's optimal I/O size.  This is
what you get with fopen(path, "r") and no call to setvbuf().]
