now that struct winsize is available via sys/ioctl.h once again,
including termios.h is not needed.
|
|
these have been adopted for future issue of POSIX as the outcome of
Austin Group issue 1151, and are simply functions performing the roles
of the historical ioctls. since struct winsize is being standardized
along with them, its definition is moved to the appropriate header.
there is some chance this will break source files that expect struct
winsize to be defined by sys/ioctl.h without including termios.h. if
this happens, further changes will be needed to have sys/ioctl.h
expose it too.

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.

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.

setting errno here is completely valid, but some programs, notably
busybox printf, assume that errno will not be set during output and
treat this as an error condition. in any case, skipping it slightly
reduces code size and saves time.

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.
