* getopt: merge from gnulib: alloca avoidanceZack Weinberg2017-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In one place, glibc's getopt uses alloca to construct a linked list of possibilities for an "ambiguous" long option. In gnulib, malloc should be used instead. Providing for both cases complicates things a fair bit. Instead of merging straight across, therefore, I have chosen to rewrite it using a boolean vector instead of a linked list. There is then only one allocation that might need freeing; in glibc it can honor __libc_use_alloca as usual, and in gnulib we define __libc_use_alloca to always be false, so we don't need ifdefs in the middle of the function. This should also be slightly more efficient in the normal case of long options being fully spelled out -- I think most people aren't even aware they _can_ sometimes abbreviate long options. One interesting consequence is that the list of possibilities is now printed in exactly the order they appear in the list of long options, instead of the first possibility being shuffled to the end. This shouldn't be a big deal but it did break one test that relied on the exact text of this error message. (The reason the previous patch was "in aid of" merging from gnulib is I didn't want to have to make this change in two places.) (The patch looks bigger than it really is because there's a fair bit of reindentation and code rearrangement.) * posix/getopt.c: When used standalone, define __libc_use_alloca as always false and alloca to abort if called. (process_long_option): Rewrite handling of ambiguous long options to use a single boolean vector, not a linked list; use __libc_use_alloca to decide whether to allocate this using alloca. * posix/tst-getopt_long1.c: Adjust text of expected error message.
* Fix warning in posix/tst-getopt_long1.c.Joseph Myers2014-12-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a "discards qualifiers" warning in posix/tst-getopt_long1.c. glibc is built with -Wwrite-strings, meaning a char * cannot be initialized directly with a string constant; the patch casts the string constants to char *. Tested for x86_64. * posix/tst-getopt_long1.c (do_test): Cast elements of argv array to char *.
* Provide more helpful error message in getoptUlrich Drepper2011-05-151-0/+62
If provide with an ambiguous long option we now show all the possibilities.
