commit 8c4be3e2209d2a1d3874b8bc2b474668fcbbbac6 was written to
preclude the GLOB_PERIOD extension from matching these directory
entries, but also precluded literal matches.
adjust the check that excludes . and .. to check whether the
GLOB_PERIOD flag is in effect, so that it cannot alter behavior in
cases governed by the standard, and also don't exclude . or .. in any
case where normal glob behavior (fnmatch's FNM_PERIOD flag) would have
included one or both of them (patterns such as ".*").
it's still not clear whether this is the preferred behavior for
GLOB_PERIOD, but at least it's clear that it can no longer break
applications which are not relying on quirks of a nonstandard feature.

GLOB_PERIOD is a gnu extension, and GNU glob does not seem to honor it
except in the last path component. it's not clear whether this a bug
or intentional, but it seems reasonable that it should exclude the
special entries . and .. when walking.
changes based on report and analysis by Julien Ramseier.

the check to prevent matching empty string wrongly blocked matching
of "/" due to checking emptiness after stripping leading slashes
rather than checking the full original argument string.
simplified from patch by Julien Ramseier.

commit 0dc99ac413d8bc054a2e95578475c7122455eee8 added input length
checking to avoid unsafe VLA allocation, but put it in the wrong
place, before the glob_t structure was zeroed out. while POSIX isn't
clear on whether it's permitted to call globfree after glob failed
with GLOB_NOSPACE, making it safe is clearly better than letting
uninitialized pointers get passed to free in non-conforming callers.
while we're fixing this, change strlen check to the idiomatic strnlen
version to avoid unbounded input scanning before returning an error.

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.
|
|
POSIX is unclear on whether it should, but all historical
implementations seem to behave this way, and it seems more useful to
applications.

basically there are 3 choices for how to implement this variable-size
string member:
1. C99 flexible array member: breaks using dirent.h with pre-C99 compiler.
2. old way: length-1 string: generates array bounds warnings in caller.
3. new way: length-NAME_MAX string. no problems, simplifies all code.
of course the usable part in the pointer returned by readdir might be
shorter than NAME_MAX+1 bytes, but that is allowed by the standard and
doesn't hurt anything.

this actually inadvertently disallows some valid patterns with
redundant / or * characters, but it's better than allowing unbounded
vla allocation.
eventually i'll write code to move the pattern to the stack and
eliminate redundancy to ensure that it fits in PATH_MAX at the
beginning of glob. this would also allow it to be modified in place
for passing to fnmatch rather than copied at each level of recursion.
