(Resolved state) recommend this way for the current standard (called
"earlier" in the text)
"However, earlier versions of this standard did not require this, and the
same example had to be written as:
// buf was obtained by malloc(buflen)
ret = write(fd, buf, buflen);
if (ret < 0) {
int save = errno;
free(buf);
errno = save;
return ret;
}
"
from feedback I have for previous commit it seems that many people prefer
to avoid mass code change needed for current standard compliance
and prefer to track unpublished standard instead, which requires now
that free() itself must save errno, not its usage code.
So, I back out "save errno across free()" part of previous commit,
and will fill PR for changing free() isntead.
2) Remove now unused serrno.

"The setting of errno after a successful call to a function is
unspecified unless the description of that function specifies that
errno shall not be modified."
However, free() in IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 does not mention its interaction
with errno, so MAY modify it after successful call
(it depends on particular free() implementation, OS-specific, etc.).
So, save errno across free() calls to make code portable and
POSIX-conformant.
2) Remove unused serrno assignment.

The stat structures returned on pipes seems to contain all the
information required by POSIX. Especially the wording "and thus to a
pipe" makes little sense, because it seems to imply a certain
relationship between sockets and pipes that simply isn't there.

set up for us prior to caling main, so there's nothing to do for

Introduce dirfd() libc exported symbol replacing macro with same name,
preserve _dirfd() macro for internal use.
Replace dirp->dd_fd with dirfd() call. Avoid using dirfd as variable
name to prevent shadowing global symbol.

[ENOENT] A component of file_name does not name an existing file or
file_name points to an empty string.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory, or the
file_name argument contains at least one non- <slash> character
and ends with one or more trailing <slash> characters and the last
pathname component names an existing file that is neither a
directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
Add checks for the listed conditions, and set errno accordingly.

The typical case was:
static __inline int
convert_ccl(FILE *fp, char * __restrict p, [...])
{
[...]
if (p == SUPPRESS_PTR) {
[...]
} else {
[...]
}
[...]
}
This qualifier says that the pointer is the only one at that time
pointing to the resource.
Here, clang considers that "p" will never match "SUPPRESS_PTR" and
optimize the if{} block out. This leads to segfaults in programs calling
vfscanf(3) and vfwscanf(3) with just the format string (no arguments
following it).
The following softwares were reported to abort with segmentation fault
and this patch fixes it:
o cmake
o smartd
o devel/ORBit2

conversions. Both the specification and the documentation say the
width is interpreted as the max number of wide characters to read, but
the implementation was interpreting it as the number of bytes to convert.
(See also r105317.)
This change has security implications for any applications that depend
on the buggy behavior, but the impact in practice is probably nil.
Any such application would already be buggy on other platforms that
get the semantics right. Also, these conversions are rarely used;
%ls, %lc, and %l[ are more appropriate.
reading wide characters manually. With this change, they now use
fgetwc(). To make this work, we use an internal version of fgetwc()
with a few extensions: it takes an mbstate * because non-wide streams
don't have a built-in mbstate, and it indicates the number of bytes
read.
vfscanf() now resembles vfwscanf() more closely. Minor functional
improvements include working xlocale support in vfscanf(), setting the
stream error indicator on encoding errors, and proper handling of
shift-based encodings. (Actually, making shift-based encodings work
with non-wide streams is hopeless, but the implementation now matches
the broken specification.)
This tool changes the default buffering behaviour of standard
stdio streams.
It only works on dynamic binaries. To make it work for static
ones it would require cluttering stdio because there no single
entry point.
