- Remove redundant "? :" construct.
style(9):
- Place a space after return statements.
- Compare pointers to NULL.
- Do not use ! to compare a character to nul.
- New length modifiers: hh, j, ll, t, z.
Still to do:
- %C, %S, %lc, %ls (wide character support)
- %a/%A (exact hex representation of floating-point numbers)
Removed old compatability equivalents:
- %D for %ld, %O for %lo, %X for %lx, %E and %F for %le & %lf (these
were buggy anyway, since they should have represented %Le & %Lf).
- %[unknown uppercase char] for %ld, %[unknown lowercase char] for %d
In original version grouping was hardcoded. It assumed that thousands
separator should be inserted to separate each 3 numbers. I.e. grouping
string "\003" was assumed for all cases. In correct case (per POSIX)
vfprintf should respect locale defined non-monetary (LC_NUMERIC
category) grouping sequence.
Also simplify thousands_sep handling.
- New length modifiers: hh, j, t, z.
- New flag: '. Note that %'f is not yet implemented.
- Use "inf"/"nan" for efg formats, "INF"/"NAN" for EFG formats.
- Implemented %q in terms of %ll; if "quad_t" is not "long long"
%q will break.
Still to do:
- %C, %S, %lc, %ls (wide character support)
- %'f (thousands in integer portion of %f)
- %a/%A (exact hex representation of floating-point numbers)

The definition of character class digit requires that only ten characters
-the ones defining digits- can be specified; alternate digits (for
example, Hindi or Kanji) cannot be specified here. However, the encoding
may vary if an implementation supports more than one encoding.
The definition of character class xdigit requires that the characters
included in character class digit are included here also and allows for
different symbols for the hexadecimal digits 10 through 15.
of repeating unsuccessful lseek call on each write (original stdio bug).
2) Save errno accross _sseek call in _swrite to not touch it in case write
success (original stdio bug).
3) Add _sseek error checking back, but only for __SOPT mode now.
with non-seekable streams. Now here is what here was originally, but it is
ugly, producing unneded seek syscall on each non-seekable stream write. I'll
think about proper solution later.
plain regular files, i.e. files with __SOPT flag set. Fix it, so ftell(stdout)
always returns the same as lseek(1, 0, 1) now.
NOTE: this bug was in original stdio code
__swrite() and __sseek() to higher level. According to funopen(3) they all
are just wrappers to something like standard read(2), write(2) and
lseek(2), i.e. must not touch stdio internals because they are replaceable
with any other functions knows nothing about stdio internals. See example
of funopen(3) usage in sendmail sources f.e.
NOTE: this is original stdio bug, not result of my range checkin added.
internal functions there may fail and set (i.e. overwrite) errno in normal
(not error) situation). In original variant errno testing after call
(as POSIX suggest) is wrong when errno overwrite happens.
