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.
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.
not heavily tested but these functions appear to work correctly
shunget cannot unget eof status, causing wcstol to leave endptr pointing to the wrong place when scanning, for example, L"0x". cheap fix is to make the read function provide an infinite stream of bogus characters rather than eof. really this is something of a design flaw in how the shgetc system is used for strto* and wcsto*; in the long term, I believe multi-character unget should be scrapped and replaced with a function that can subtract from the f->shcnt counter.
the immediate benefit is a significant debloating of the float parsing code by moving the responsibility for keeping track of the number of characters read to a different module. by linking shgetc with the stdio buffer logic, counting logic is defered to buffer refill time, keeping the calls to shgetc fast and light. in the future, shgetc will also be useful for integrating the new float code with scanf, which needs to not only count the characters consumed, but also limit the number of characters read based on field width specifiers. shgetc may also become a useful tool for simplifying the integer parsing code.
this version is intended to be fully conformant to the ISO C, POSIX, and IEEE standards for conversion of decimal/hex floating point strings to float, double, and long double (ld64 or ld80 only at present) values. in particular, all results are intended to be rounded correctly according to the current rounding mode. further, this implementation aims to set the floating point underflow, overflow, and inexact flags to reflect the conversion performed. a moderate amount of testing has been performed (by nsz and myself) prior to integration of the code in musl, but it still may have bugs. so far, only strto(d|ld|f) use the new code. scanf integration will be done as a separate commit, and i will add implementations of the wide character functions later.
