- Update and improve the documentation for %[aA]
o Like %[eE], %[aA] may round the result if a precision is specified.
o Grammar police: Fix a split infinitive.
o The FreeBSD implementation does better than the minimum required
by C99 (literal translation of the mantissa). The digit before
the hexadecimal-point is never 0 unless the number itself is 0.
o Clarify that the exponent field represents a decimal exponent of 2.
o Discuss the fact that multiple valid representations are possible.
o Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that %[aA] is not
implemented.
- Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that the ' flag for
printing thousands separators is unimplemented for floating-point.
- Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that the L modifier
reduces the precision to "double" before conversion.
these are not fully implemented and ifdef'd out, the bugs have
never manifested themselves. Specifically:
- Fix a memory leak in the case where %a follows another
floating-point format.
- Make the %a/%A code behave like %e/%E with respect to
precision.
- It is no longer valid to assume that '-' and '0x' are
mutually exclusive.
- Address other minor issues.

exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued. For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors). It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time. When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace(). Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

incorrectly when encountering `large' groups (many members and/or many
long member names). The reporter tracked this down to the glibc NSS
module compatibility code (nss_compat.c): it would prematurely record
that a NSS module was finished iterating through its database in some
cases.
Two aspects are corrected:
1. nss_compat.c recorded that a NSS module was finished iterating
whenever the module reported something other than SUCCESS. The
correct logic is to continue iteration when the module reports
either SUCCESS or RETURN. The __nss_compat_getgrent_r and
__nss_compat_getpwent_r routines are updated to reflect this.
2. An internal helper macro __nss_compat_result is used to map glibc
NSS status codes to BSD NSS status codes (e.g. NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS ->
NS_SUCCESS). It provided the obvious mapping.
When a NSS routine is called with a too-small buffer, the
convention in the BSD NSS code is to report RETURN. (This is used
to implement reentrant APIs such as getpwnam_r(3).) However, the
convention in glibc for this case is to set errno = ERANGE and
overload TRYAGAIN. __nss_compat_result is updated to handle this
case.

initialization overhead, there's a problem in that we never call
imalloc() and thus malloc_init() for zero-sized allocations. As a
result, malloc(0) returns NULL when it's the first or only malloc in
the program. Any non-zero allocation will initialize the malloc code
with the side-effect that subsequent zero-sized allocations return a
non-NULL pointer. This is because the pointer we return for zero-
sized allocations is calculated from malloc_pageshift, which needs
to be initialized at runtime on ia64.
The result of the inconsistent behaviour described above is that
configure scripts failed the test for a GNU compatible malloc. This
resulted in a lot of broken ports.
Other, even simpler, solutions were possible as well:
1. initialize malloc_pageshift with some non-zero value (say 13 for
8KB pages) and keep the runtime adjustment.
2. Stop using malloc_pageshift to calculate ZEROSIZEPTR.
Removal of the runtime adjustment was chosen because then ia64 is the
same as any other platform. It is not to say that using a page size
obtained at runtime is bad per se. It's that there's currently a high
level of gratuity for its existence and the moment it causes problems
is the moment you need to get rid of it. Hence, it's not unthinkable
that this commit is (partially) reverted some time in the future when
we do have a good reason for it and a good way to achieve it.
