2016-10-21redesign snprintf without undefined behaviorRich Felker1-25/+38
the old snprintf design setup the FILE buffer pointers to point directly into the destination buffer; if n was actually larger than the buffer size, the pointer arithmetic to compute the buffer end pointer was undefined. this affected sprintf, which is implemented in terms of snprintf, as well as some unusual but valid direct uses of snprintf. instead, setup the FILE as unbuffered and have its write function memcpy to the destination. the printf core sets up its own temporary buffer for unbuffered streams.
2012-11-08clean up stdio_impl.hRich Felker1-0/+4
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.
2012-09-06use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker1-1/+1
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.
2011-03-28major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changesRich Felker1-19/+23
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.
2011-03-25fix all implicit conversion between signed/unsigned pointersRich Felker1-2/+2
sadly the C language does not specify any such implicit conversion, so this is not a matter of just fixing warnings (as gcc treats it) but actual errors. i would like to revisit a number of these changes and possibly revise the types used to reduce the number of casts required.
