2016-06-21remove comments on copyright status from UTF-8 implementation filesRich Felker-6/+0
despite clarifications made to the COPYRIGHT file in commit f0a61399330bae42beeb27d6ecd05570b3382a60, there continues to be confusion about whether the permissions granted actually apply to all files. I am the sole author of these files and clearly intend, and have always intended, for the grant of permission to apply to them.
2015-06-16byte-based C locale, phase 1: multibyte character handling functionsRich Felker-0/+2
this patch makes the functions which work directly on multibyte characters treat the high bytes as individual abstract code units rather than as multibyte sequences when MB_CUR_MAX is 1. since MB_CUR_MAX is presently defined as a constant 4, all of the new code added is dead code, and optimizing compilers' code generation should not be affected at all. a future commit will activate the new code. as abstract code units, bytes 0x80 to 0xff are represented by wchar_t values 0xdf80 to 0xdfff, at the end of the surrogates range. this ensures that they will never be misinterpreted as Unicode characters, and that all wctype functions return false for these "characters" without needing locale-specific logic. a high range outside of Unicode such as 0x7fffff80 to 0x7fffffff was also considered, but since C11's char16_t also needs to be able to represent conversions of these bytes, the surrogate range was the natural choice.
2014-07-01fix aliasing violations in mbtowc and mbrtowcRich Felker-1/+2
these functions were setting wc to point to wchar_t aliasing itself as a "cheap" way to support null wc arguments. doing so was anything but cheap, since even without the aliasing violation, it would limit the compiler's ability to optimize. making wc point to a dummy object is equally easy and does not suffer from the above problems.

2013-04-08implement mbtowc directly, not as a wrapper for mbrtowcRich Felker-5/+39
the interface contract for mbtowc admits a much faster implementation than mbrtowc can achieve; wrapping mbrtowc with an extra call frame only made the situation worse. since the regex implementation uses mbtowc already, this change should improve regex performance too. it may be possible to improve performance in other places internally by switching from mbrtowc to mbtowc.
2012-09-06use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker-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.
