2012-12-26fix alignment logic in strlcpyRich Felker1-1/+1
2012-10-22simplify logic in stpcpy; avoid copying first aligned byte twiceRich Felker1-4/+4
gcc seems to be generating identical or near-identical code for both versions, but the newer code is more expressive of what it's doing.
2012-10-15add memmem function (gnu extension)Rich Felker1-0/+148
based on strstr. passes gnulib tests and a few quick checks of my own.
2012-09-27optimize strchrnul/strcspn not to scan string twice on no-matchRich Felker3-25/+29
when strchr fails, and important piece of information already computed, the string length, is thrown away. have strchrnul (with namespace protection) be the underlying function so this information can be kept, and let strchr be a wrapper for it. this also allows strcspn to be considerably faster in the case where the match set has a single element that's not matched.
2012-09-27slightly cleaner strlen, also seems to compile to better codeRich Felker1-6/+4
testing with gcc 4.6.3 on x86, -Os, the old version does a duplicate null byte check after the first loop. this is purely the compiler being stupid, but the old code was also stupid and unintuitive in how it expressed the check.
2012-09-10asm for memmove on i386 and x86_64Rich Felker2-0/+36
for the sake of simplicity, I've only used rep movsb rather than breaking up the copy for using rep movsd/q. on all modern cpus, this seems to be fine, but if there are performance problems, there might be a need to go back and add support for rep movsd/q.
2012-09-10reenable word-at-at-time copying in memmoveRich Felker1-4/+27
before restrict was added, memove called memcpy for forward copies and used a byte-at-a-time loop for reverse copies. this was changed to avoid invoking UB now that memcpy has an undefined copying order, making memmove considerably slower. performance is still rather bad, so I'll be adding asm soon.
2012-09-06use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker20-20/+20
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.
2012-09-06remove dependency of wmemmove on wmemcpy directionRich Felker1-4/+4
unlike the memmove commit, this one should be fine to leave in place. wmemmove is not performance-critical, and even if it were, it's already copying whole 32-bit words at a time instead of bytes.
2012-09-06remove dependency of memmove on memcpy directionRich Felker1-5/+4
this commit introduces a performance regression in many uses of memmove, which will need to be addressed before the next release. i'm making it as a temporary measure so that the restrict patch can be committed without invoking undefined behavior when memmove calls memcpy with overlapping regions.
2012-08-11memcpy asm for i386 and x86_64Rich Felker2-0/+51
2012-08-11remove unused but buggy code from strstr.cRich Felker1-10/+0
2012-08-11remove buggy short-string wcsstr implementation; always use twowayRich Felker1-9/+0
since this interface is rarely used, it's probably best to lean towards keeping code size down anyway. one-character needles will still be found immediately by the initial wcschr call anyway.
2012-07-31optimize mempcpy to minimize need for data saved across the callRich Felker1-2/+1
2012-06-20make strerror_r behave nicer on failureRich Felker1-2/+8
if the buffer is too short, at least return a partial string. this is helpful if the caller is lazy and does not check for failure. care is taken to avoid writing anything if the buffer length is zero, and to always null-terminate when the buffer length is non-zero.
2012-05-26fix overrun (n essentially ignored) in wcsncmpRich Felker1-1/+1
bug report and solution by Richard Pennington
2012-05-26fix failure of strrchr(str, 0)Rich Felker1-1/+1
bug report and solution by Richard Pennington
2012-03-01add all missing wchar functions except floating point parsersRich Felker9-0/+71
these are mostly untested and adapted directly from corresponding byte string functions and similar.
2011-09-11add dummied strverscmp (obnoxious GNU function)Rich Felker1-0/+7
programs that use this tend to horribly botch international text support, so it's questionable whether we want to support it even in the long term... for now, it's just a dummy that calls strcmp.
2011-06-13fix wrong type for wcsrchr argument 2Rich Felker1-1/+1
2011-05-22fix strncat and wcsncat (double null termination)Rich Felker3-3/+3
also modify wcsncpy to use the same loop logic
2011-05-22fix wcsncpy writing past end of bufferRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-04-26function signature fix: add const qualifier to mempcpy src argRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-04-13implement memrchr (nonstandard) and optimize strrchr in terms of itRich Felker2-4/+15
2011-04-07fix misplaced *'s in string functions (harmless)Rich Felker3-3/+3
2011-04-06fix prototype for strsepRich Felker1-0/+1
2011-04-05fix misaligned read on early string termination in strchrRich Felker1-1/+2
this could actually cause rare crashes in the case where a short string is located at the end of a page and the following page is not readable, and in fact this was seen in gcc compiling certain files.
2011-04-03fix serious bug in strchr - char signednessRich Felker1-9/+11
search for bytes with high bit set was giving (potentially dangerous) wrong results. i've tested, cleaned up, and hopefully sped up this function now.
2011-03-25fix all implicit conversion between signed/unsigned pointersRich Felker6-20/+16
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.
2011-03-17fix broken wmemchr (unbounded search)Rich Felker1-1/+1
2011-02-26fix missing prototype for strsignalRich Felker1-0/+1
2011-02-24add implementation of memccpy functionRich Felker1-0/+32
2011-02-24fix backwards conditional in stpncpyRich Felker1-1/+1
this only made the function unnecessarily slow on systems with unaligned access, but would of course crash on systems that can't do unaligned accesses (none of which have ports yet).
2011-02-14more header cleanup and conformance fixes - string.hRich Felker1-0/+1
