* fix getdelim to set the error indicator on all failuresSzabolcs Nagy2015-04-041-2/+5

* fix possible isatty false positives and unwanted device state changesRich Felker2015-02-232-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to determine buffering mode, are also fixed. on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the fd refers to a tty. TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any tty device. this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and misleading.
* overhaul aio implementation for correctnessRich Felker2015-02-131-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, aio operations were not tracked by file descriptor; each operation was completely independent. this resulted in non-conforming behavior for non-seekable/append-mode writes (which are required to be ordered) and made it impossible to implement aio_cancel, which in turn made closing file descriptors with outstanding aio operations unsafe. the new implementation is significantly heavier (roughly twice the size, and seems to be slightly slower) and presently aims mainly at correctness, not performance. most of the public interfaces have been moved into a single file, aio.c, because there is little benefit to be had from splitting them. whenever any aio functions are used, aio_cancel and the internal queue lifetime management and fd-to-queue mapping code must be linked, and these functions make up the bulk of the code size. the close function's interaction with aio is implemented with weak alias magic, to avoid pulling in heavy aio cancellation code in programs that don't use aio, and the expensive cancellation path (which includes signal blocking) is optimized out when there are no active aio queues.
* don't suppress sign output for NANs in printfRich Felker2014-12-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | formally, it seems a sign is only required when the '+' modifier appears in the format specifier, in which case either '+' or '-' must be present in the output. but the specification is written such that an optional negative sign is part of the output format anyway, and the simplest approach to fixing the problem is removing the code that was suppressing the sign.
* correctly handle write errors encountered by printf-family functionsRich Felker2014-12-172-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, write errors neither stopped further output attempts nor caused the function to return an error to the caller. this could result in silent loss of output, possibly in the middle of output in the event of a non-permanent error. the simplest solution is temporarily clearing the error flag for the target stream, then suppressing further output when the error flag is set and checking/restoring it at the end of the operation to determine the correct return value. since the wide version of the code internally calls the narrow fprintf to perform some of its underlying operations, initial clearing of the error flag is suppressed when performing a narrow vfprintf on a wide-oriented stream. this is not a problem since the behavior of narrow operations on wide-oriented streams is undefined.
* fix behavior of printf with alt-form octal, zero precision, zero valueRich Felker2014-11-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | in this case there are two conflicting rules in play: that an explicit precision of zero with the value zero produces no output, and that the '#' modifier for octal increases the precision sufficiently to yield a leading zero. ISO C (7.19.6.1 paragraph 6 in C99+TC3) includes a parenthetical remark to clarify that the precision-increasing behavior takes precedence, but the corresponding text in POSIX off of which I based the implementation is missing this remark. this issue was covered in WG14 DR#151.
* fix linked list corruption in flockfile listsRich Felker2014-09-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 5345c9b884e7c4e73eb2c8bb83b8d0df20f95afb added a linked list to track the FILE streams currently locked (via flockfile) by a thread. due to a failure to fully link newly added members, removal from the list could leave behind references which could later result in writes to already-freed memory and possibly other memory corruption. implicit stdio locking was unaffected; the list is only used in conjunction with explicit flockfile locking. this bug was not present in any releases; it was introduced and fixed during the same release cycle. patch by Timo Teräs, who discovered and tracked down the bug.
* fix multiple stdio functions' behavior on zero-length operationsRich Felker2014-09-044-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | previously, fgets, fputs, fread, and fwrite completely omitted locking and access to the FILE object when their arguments yielded a zero length read or write operation independent of the FILE state. this optimization was invalid; it wrongly skipped marking the stream as byte-oriented (a C conformance bug) and exposed observably missing synchronization (a POSIX conformance bug) where one of these functions could wrongly complete despite another thread provably holding the lock.
* suppress null termination when fgets reads EOF with no dataRich Felker2014-09-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | the C standard requires that "the contents of the array remain unchanged" in this case. this patch also changes the behavior on read errors, but in that case "the array contents are indeterminate", so the application cannot inspect them anyway.
* fix false ownership of stdio FILEs due to tid reuseRich Felker2014-08-233-2/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | this is analogous commit fffc5cda10e0c5c910b40f7be0d4fa4e15bb3f48 which fixed the corresponding issue for mutexes. the robust list can't be used here because the locks do not share a common layout with mutexes. at some point it may make sense to simply incorporate a mutex object into the FILE structure and use it, but that would be a much more invasive change, and it doesn't mesh well with the current design that uses a simpler code path for internal locking and pulls in the recursive-mutex-like code when the flockfile API is used explicitly.
* work around constant folding bug 61144 in gcc 4.9.0 and 4.9.1Rich Felker2014-07-165-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously we detected this bug in configure and issued advice for a workaround, but this turned out not to work. since then gcc 4.9.0 has appeared in several distributions, and now 4.9.1 has been released without a fix despite this being a wrong code generation bug which is supposed to be a release-blocker, per gcc policy. since the scope of the bug seems to affect only data objects (rather than functions) whose definitions are overridable, and there are only a very small number of these in musl, I am just changing them from const to volatile for the time being. simply removing the const would be sufficient to make gcc 4.9.1 work (the non-const case was inadvertently fixed as part of another change in gcc), and this would also be sufficient with 4.9.0 if we forced -O0 on the affected files or on the whole build. however it's cleaner to just remove all the broken compiler detection and use volatile, which will ensure that they are never constant-folded. the quality of a non-broken compiler's output should not be affected except for the fact that these objects are no longer const and thus possibly add a few bytes to data/bss. this change can be reconsidered and possibly reverted at some point in the future when the broken gcc versions are no longer relevant.
* simplify __stdio_exit static linking logicRich Felker2014-07-163-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the purpose of this logic is to avoid linking __stdio_exit unless any stdio reads (which might require repositioning the file offset at exit time) or writes (which might require flushing at exit time) could have been performed. previously, exit called two wrapper functions for __stdio_exit named __flush_on_exit and __seek_on_exit. both of these functions actually performed both tasks (seek and flushing) by calling the underlying __stdio_exit. in order to avoid doing this twice, an overridable data object __towrite_used was used to cause __seek_on_exit to act as a nop when __towrite was linked. now, exit only makes one call, directly to __stdio_exit. this is satisfiable by a weak dummy definition in exit.c, but the real definition is pulled in by either __toread.c or __towrite.c through their referencing a symbol which is defined only in __stdio_exit.c.
* fix failure of wide printf/scanf functions to set wide orientationRich Felker2014-07-022-0/+3
| | | | | | in some cases, these functions internally call a byte-based input or output function before calling getwc/putwc, so they cannot rely on the latter to set the orientation.
* fix incorrect return value for fwide functionRich Felker2014-07-011-1/+2
| | | | | | when the orientation of the stream was already set, fwide was incorrectly returning its argument (the requested orientation) rather than the actual orientation of the stream.
* replace all remaining internal uses of pthread_self with __pthread_selfRich Felker2014-06-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | prior to version 1.1.0, the difference between pthread_self (the public function) and __pthread_self (the internal macro or inline function) was that the former would lazily initialize the thread pointer if it was not already initialized, whereas the latter would crash in this case. since lazy initialization is no longer supported, use of pthread_self no longer makes sense; it simply generates larger, slower code.
* add O_CLOEXEC fallback for open and related functionsRich Felker2014-06-062-0/+3
| | | | | | | since there is no easy way to detect whether open honored or ignored the O_CLOEXEC flag, the optimal solution to providing a fallback is simply to make the fcntl syscall to set the close-on-exec flag immediately after open returns.
* fix fd leak in tmpfile when the fdopen operation failsRich Felker2014-06-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | this condition could only happen due to malloc failure. the fdopen operation is also moved to take place after the unlink to minimize the window during which a link to the file exists in the directory table.
* simplify vasprintf implementationRich Felker2014-06-041-14/+1
| | | | | | | | the old implementation preallocated a buffer in order to try to avoid calling vsnprintf more than once. not only did this potentially lead to memory fragmentation from trimming with realloc; it also pulled in realloc/free, which otherwise might not be needed in a static linked program.
* use cleaner code for handling float rounding in vfprintfSzabolcs Nagy2014-05-301-3/+1
| | | | | | | CONCAT(0x1p,LDBL_MANT_DIG) is not safe outside of libc, use 2/LDBL_EPSILON instead. fix was proposed by Morten Welinder.
* support linux kernel apis (new archs) with old syscalls removedRich Felker2014-05-295-2/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | such archs are expected to omit definitions of the SYS_* macros for syscalls their kernels lack from arch/$ARCH/bits/syscall.h. the preprocessor is then able to select the an appropriate implementation for affected functions. two basic strategies are used on a case-by-case basis: where the old syscalls correspond to deprecated library-level functions, the deprecated functions have been converted to wrappers for the modern function, and the modern function has fallback code (omitted at the preprocessor level on new archs) to make use of the old syscalls if the new syscall fails with ENOSYS. this also improves functionality on older kernels and eliminates the incentive to program with deprecated library-level functions for the sake of compatibility with older kernels. in other situations where the old syscalls correspond to library-level functions which are not deprecated but merely lack some new features, such as the *at functions, the old syscalls are still used on archs which support them. this may change at some point in the future if or when fallback code is added to the new functions to make them usable (possibly with reduced functionality) on old kernels.
* fix missing declaration of strcpy in implementation of tmpnamRich Felker2014-05-271-0/+1
|
* overhaul tmpfile, tmpnam, and tempnam functionsRich Felker2014-05-273-55/+48
| | | | | | | these all now use the shared __randname function internally, rather than duplicating logic for producing a random name. incorrect usage of the access syscall (which works with real uid/gid, not effective) has been removed, along with unnecessary heavy dependencies like snprintf.
* support kernels with no SYS_open syscall, only SYS_openatRich Felker2014-05-243-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | open is handled specially because it is used from so many places, in so many variants (2 or 3 arguments, setting errno or not, and cancellable or not). trying to do it as a function would not only increase bloat, but would also risk subtle breakage. this is the first step towards supporting "new" archs where linux lacks "old" syscalls.
* fix printf rounding with %g for some corner case midpointsRich Felker2014-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | the subsequent rounding code assumes the end pointer (z) accurately reflects the end of significance in the decimal expansion, but for certain large integers, spurious trailing zero slots were left behind when applying the binary exponent. issue reported by Morten Welinder; the analysis of the cause was performed by nsz, who also proposed this change.
* fix failure of printf %g to strip trailing zeros in some casesRich Felker2014-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | the code to strip trailing zeros was only looking in the last slot for up to 9 zeros, assuming that the rounding code had already removed fully-zero slots from the end. however, this ignored cases where the rounding code did not run at all, which occur when the value being printed is exactly representable in the requested precision. the simplest solution is to move the code that strips trailing zero slots to run unconditionally, immediately after rounding, rather than as the last step of rounding.
* fix carry into uninitialized slots during printf floating point roundingRich Felker2014-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | in cases where rounding caused a carry, the slot into which the carry was taking place was unconditionally treated as valid, despite the possibility that it could be a new slot prior to the beginning of the existing non-rounded number. in theory this could lead to unbounded runaway carry, but in order for that to happen, the whole uninitialized buffer would need to have been pre-filled with 32-bit integer values greater than or equal to 999999999. patch based on proposed fix by Morten Welinder, who also discovered and reported the bug.
* always initialize thread pointer at program startRich Felker2014-03-242-14/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this is the first step in an overhaul aimed at greatly simplifying and optimizing everything dealing with thread-local state. previously, the thread pointer was initialized lazily on first access, or at program startup if stack protector was in use, or at certain random places where inconsistent state could be reached if it were not initialized early. while believed to be fully correct, the logic was fragile and non-obvious. in the first phase of the thread pointer overhaul, support is retained (and in some cases improved) for systems/situation where loading the thread pointer fails, e.g. old kernels. some notes on specific changes: - the confusing use of libc.main_thread as an indicator that the thread pointer is initialized is eliminated in favor of an explicit has_thread_pointer predicate. - sigaction no longer needs to ensure that the thread pointer is initialized before installing a signal handler (this was needed to prevent a situation where the signal handler caused the thread pointer to be initialized and the subsequent sigreturn cleared it again) but it still needs to ensure that implementation-internal thread-related signals are not blocked. - pthread tsd initialization for the main thread is deferred in a new manner to minimize bloat in the static-linked __init_tp code. - pthread_setcancelstate no longer needs special handling for the situation before the thread pointer is initialized. it simply fails on systems that cannot support a thread pointer, which are non-conforming anyway. - pthread_cleanup_push/pop now check for missing thread pointer and nop themselves out in this case, so stdio no longer needs to avoid the cancellable path when the thread pointer is not available. a number of cases remain where certain interfaces may crash if the system does not support a thread pointer. at this point, these should be limited to pthread interfaces, and the number of such cases should be fewer than before.
* fix incorrect rounding in printf floating point corner casesRich Felker2014-03-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the printf floating point formatting code contains an optimization to avoid computing digits that will be thrown away by rounding at the specified (or default) precision. while it was correctly retaining all places up to the last decimal place to be printed, it was not retaining enough precision to see the next nonzero decimal place in all cases. this could cause incorrect rounding down in round-to-even (default) rounding mode, for example, when printing 0.5+DBL_EPSILON with "%.0f". in the fix, LDBL_MANT_DIG/3 is a lazy (non-sharp) upper bound on the number of zeros between any two nonzero decimal digits.
* fix buffer overflow in printf formatting of denormals with low bit setRich Felker2014-03-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | empirically the overflow was an off-by-one, and it did not seem to be overwriting meaningful data. rather than simply increasing the buffer size by one, however, I have attempted to make the size obviously correct in terms of bounds on the number of iterations for the loops that fill the buffer. this still results in no more than a negligible size increase of the buffer on the stack (6-7 32-bit slots) and is a "safer" fix unless/until somebody wants to do the proof that a smaller buffer would suffice.
* in fdopen, avoid setting O_APPEND flag if it's already setRich Felker2014-02-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | this saves a syscall in the case where the underlying open already took place with O_APPEND, which is common because fopen with append modes sets O_APPEND at the time of open before passing the file descriptor to __fdopen.
* fix ftello result for append streams with unflushed outputRich Felker2014-02-072-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | when there is unflushed output, ftello (and ftell) compute the logical stream position as the underlying file descriptor's offset plus an adjustment for the amount of buffered data. however, this can give the wrong result for append-mode streams where the unflushed writes should adjust the logical position to be at the end of the file, as if a seek to end-of-file takes place before the write. the solution turns out to be a simple trick: when ftello (indirectly) calls lseek to determine the current file offset, use SEEK_END instead of SEEK_CUR if the stream is append-mode and there's unwritten buffered data. the ISO C rules regarding switching between reading and writing for a stream opened in an update mode, along with the POSIX rules regarding switching "active handles", conveniently leave undefined the hypothetical usage cases where this fix might lead to observably incorrect offsets. the bug being fixed was discovered via the test case for glibc issue
* add __isoc99_vfscanf weak alias to vfscanfSzabolcs Nagy2014-01-081-0/+2

* fix invalid %m format crash in wide scanf variantsRich Felker2013-08-311-0/+2
| | | | the wide variant was missed in the previous commit.
* avoid crash in scanf when invalid %m format is encounteredRich Felker2013-08-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | invalid format strings invoke undefined behavior, so this is not a conformance issue, but it's nicer for scanf to report the error safely instead of calling free on a potentially-uninitialized pointer or a pointer to memory belonging to the caller.
* protect against long double type mismatches (mainly powerpc for now)Rich Felker2013-08-021-0/+7
| | | | | | check in configure to be polite (failing early if we're going to fail) and in vfprintf.c since that is the point at which a mismatching type would be extremely dangerous.
* fix uninitialized/stale use of alloc (%m modifier) flag in scanfRich Felker2013-07-202-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* fix scanf %c conversion wrongly storing a terminating null byteRich Felker2013-06-222-4/+8
| | | | | this seems to have been a regression from the refactoring which added the 'm' modifier.
* implement 'm' modifier for wide scanf variantsRich Felker2013-06-061-7/+40
|
* implement the 'm' (malloc) modifier for scanfRich Felker2013-06-051-22/+48
| | | | | this commit only covers the byte-based scanf-family functions. the wide functions still lack support for the 'm' modifier.
* refactor wide-char scanf string handlingRich Felker2013-06-051-55/+32
| | | | | | this brings the wide version of the code into alignment with the byte-based version, in preparation for adding support for the m (malloc) modifier.
* simplify some logic in scanf and remove redundant invalid-format checkRich Felker2013-06-041-18/+8
|
* refactor scanf core to use common code path for all string formatsRich Felker2013-06-041-85/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* fix argument omission in ABI-compat weak_alias for fscanfRich Felker2013-04-061-1/+1
|
* Add ABI compatability aliases.Isaac Dunham2013-04-0511-0/+33
| | | | | | | | GNU used several extensions that were incompatible with C99 and POSIX, so they used alternate names for the standard functions. The result is that we need these to run standards-conformant programs that were linked with glibc.
