for conversion specifiers, alloc is always set when the specifier is
parsed. however, if scanf stops due to mismatching literal text,
either an uninitialized (if no conversions have been performed yet) or
stale (from the previous conversion) of the flag will be used,
possibly causing an invalid pointer to be passed to free when the
function returns.

this seems to have been a regression from the refactoring which added
the 'm' modifier.
|
|
this commit only covers the byte-based scanf-family functions. the
wide functions still lack support for the 'm' modifier.

the concept here is that %s and %c are essentially special-cases of
%[, with some minimal additional special-casing.
aside from simplifying the code and reducing the number of complex
code-paths that would need changing to make optimizations later, the
main purpose of this change is to simplify addition of the 'm'
modifier which causes scanf to allocate storage for the string being
read.

this header evolved to facilitate the extremely lazy practice of
omitting explicit includes of the necessary headers in individual
stdio source files; not only was this sloppy, but it also increased
build time.
now, stdio_impl.h is only including the headers it needs for its own
use; any further headers needed by source files are included directly
where needed.
|
|
to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

the field width limit was not being cleared before reading the
literal, causing spurious failures in scanf in cases like "%2d:"
scanning "00:".

advantages over the old code:
- correct results for floating point (old code was bogus)
- wide/regular scanf separated so scanf does not pull in wide code
- well-defined behavior on integers that overflow dest type
- support for %[a-b] ranges with %[ (impl-defined by widely used)
- no intermediate conversion of fmt string to wide string
- cleaner, easier to share code with strto* functions
- better standards conformance for corner cases
the old code remains in the source tree, as the wide versions of the
scanf-family functions are still using it. it will be removed when no
longer needed.

the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill
the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and
likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's
buffer in a single syscall.
making this change required fundamental architectural changes to
stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process:
- the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail
following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set
(though the latter could easily be changed back if desired)
- unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer
has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters.
- the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of
the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while
shrinking the structure to save some space.
- error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct.
- library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked
now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow
are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or
write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g.
with ungetc.
- lots of other small things.
