* remove INT_MAX limit on the n argument to snprintf/swprintfRich Felker2024-01-171-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this was a POSIX requirement that was always in conflict with ISO C, which specified a well-defined behavior for snprintf and swprintf so long as the actual number of bytes/characters produced did not exceed INT_MAX. I originally raised this conflict for snprintf with the Austin Group as tracker issue 761, which was never resolved. it was later reported again as issue 1219, and as a result the conflicting requirement has been removed. the corresponding issue with swprintf does not seem to have been addressed, but as the same reasoning applies to it, I am removing the limitation on n for swprintf as well.
* redesign snprintf without undefined behaviorRich Felker2016-10-211-25/+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.
* clean up stdio_impl.hRich Felker2012-11-081-0/+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.
* use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker2012-09-061-1/+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.
* major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changesRich Felker2011-03-281-19/+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.
* fix all implicit conversion between signed/unsigned pointersRich Felker2011-03-251-2/+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.
