when it returns NULL to indicate failure, it will also free the memory

This does not change the semantics of realloc.
A second commit will be done to commit the conversion of those places in

popen(3) works much better with this change.
- Fix some style errors I made back in 1995.
- Add a new flavor of the err(3) family, which takes an explicit

will make it easier to use these functions in conjunction with
modern library interfaces that return an errno value explicitly.

it could. The compiler should limit itself to functions that are

pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.

>decision is, I'll respect it.
Another chance to architect people's principles...I can hardly wait. Seems
quite appropriate for a Sunday - I just need to get one of those collection
plates (and money envelopes) so I can profit, too. :-)
Tcl stays in /usr/src for now, but it needs to be kept up to date; same
for perl. If Jordan doesn't have "setup" (written in tcl) ready for 3.0,
then tcl will be yanked prior to the 3.0 release (and made into a port).
As for the ports tree only supporting the last FreeBSD release, this seems
sensible to me. The "ports" have always been a moving target between releases
and the problem is only going to get worse when we expand to supporting other
processor architectures. In any case, Satoshi is and always has been in charge
of the ports tree and whatever he wants to do with it (within reason :-)) is
his decision.
Does this cover the issue completely? I admit to deleting messages in this
thread with unusual fervor (people have FAR too much time on their hands!).
There's a fair bit of reasoning behind the above, but since everyone is sick
of arguing about this, I'll spare you the analysis.

and res_* modules in a way that works for ELF. I moved the aliases
out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry
points are defined. Weak aliases don't work in ELF unless that is
the case. (Actually, I'm surprised it worked for a.out.)
This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in
various applications that fail to include <arpa/inet.h> or
<resolv.h> as they are supposed to do.
- replaced bogus dependencies of distribution sources on generated
sources by the same ones that bsd.lib.mk would generate if it knew
all the sources. We shoot ourself in the foot by not naming the
generated (included) sources *.h, so we can just put the generated
sources in SRCS.
- replaced -I${.CURDIR} by `-I.'. Here `.' is an alias for ${.OBJDIR}.
-I${.CURDIR} didn't do anything, since ${.CURDIR} is the default in
all cases here (it would be necessary for ""-style includes made from
sources in ${.OBJDIR}.
Don't use `+=' for setting CLEANFILES for the first time.

I have test this on 2.2-stable before, but I don't have a 3.0 machine

This patch is mainly to make libc support BIG5 encoding, thus add
zh_TW.BIG5 locale to 3.0.

stdio allocate and manage the buffer and then hand it over to the user.

prevents GNU configure scripts from trying to use it in preference

the other way around.
