Add %M{essage} extension which prints an errno value as the
corresponding string if possible or numerically otherwise.
It is not currently possible to do the syslog(3) like %m extension
because errno would need to get capatured on entry to the first
function in the printf family, so %M requires you to supply errno
as an argument.
Add %Q{uote} extension which will print a string in double quotes with
appropriate back-slash escapes (only) if necessary.
on probationary terms: it may go away again if it transpires it is
a bad idea.
This extensible printf version will only be used if either
environment variable USE_XPRINTF is defined
or
one of the extension functions are called.
or
the global variable __use_xprintf is set greater than zero.
In all other cases our traditional printf implementation will
be used.
The extensible version is slower than the default printf, mostly
because less opportunity for combining I/O operation exists when
faced with extensions. The default printf on the other hand
is a bad case of spaghetti code.
The extension API has a GLIBC compatible part and a FreeBSD version
of same. The FreeBSD version exists because the GLIBC version may
run afoul of our FILE * locking in multithreaded programs and it
even further eliminate the opportunities for combining I/O operations.
Include three demo extensions which can be enabled if desired: time
(%T), hexdump (%H) and strvis (%V).
%T can format time_t (%T), struct timeval (%lT) and struct timespec (%llT)
in one of two human readable duration formats:
"%.3llT" -> "20349.245"
"%#.3llT" -> "5h39m9.245"
%H will hexdump a sequence of bytes and takes a pointer and a length
argument. The width specifies number of bytes per line.
"%4H" -> "65 72 20 65"
"%+4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65"
"%#4H" -> "65 72 20 65 |er e|"
"%+#4H" -> "0000 65 72 20 65 |er e|"
%V will dump a string in strvis format.
"%V" -> "Hello\tWor\377ld" (C-style)
"%0V" -> "Hello\011Wor\377ld" (octal)
"%+V" -> "Hello%09Wor%FFld" (http-style)
Tests, comments, bugreports etc are most welcome.
allocate a memory block. sscanf calls __svfscanf which in turn calls
fread, fread triggers mutex initialization but the mutex is not
destroyed in sscanf, this leads to memory leak. To avoid the memory
leak and performance issue, we create a none MT-safe version of fread:
__fread, and instead let __svfscanf call __fread.

MFC after: 7 days
For some denormalized long double values, a bug in __hldtoa() (called
from *printf()'s %A format) results in a base 16 digit being rounded
up from 0xf to 0x10.
When this digit is subsequently converted to string format, an index
of 10 reaches past the end of the uppper-case hex/char array, picking
up whatever the code segment happen to contain at that address.
This mostly seem to be some character from the upper half of the
byte range.
When using the %a format instead of %A, the first character past
the end of the lowercase hex/char table happens to be index 0 in
the uppercase hex/char table hextable and therefore the string
representation features a '0', which is supposedly correct.
This leads me to belive that the proper fix _may_ be as simple as
masking all but the lower four bits off after incrementing a hex-digit
in libc/gdtoa/_hdtoa.c:roundup(). I worry however that the upper
bit in 0x10 indicates a carry not carried.
Until das@ or bde@ finds time to visit this issue, extend the
hexdigit arrays with a 17th index containing '?' so that we get a
invalid but consistent and printable output in both %a and %A formats
whenever this bug strikes.
This unmasks the bug in the %a format therefore solving the real
issue may both become easier and more urgent.

to the initial state when a stream is opened or seeked upon. Use the
stream's conversion state object instead of a freshly-zeroed one in
fgetwc(), fputwc() and ungetwc().
This is only a performance improvement for now, but it would also be
required in order to support state-dependent encodings.
