2018-09-15fix undefined behavior in strto* via FILE buffer pointer abuseRich Felker-4/+2
in order to produce FILE objects to pass to the intscan/floatscan backends without any (prohibitively costly) extra buffering layer, the strto* functions set the FILE's rend (read end) buffer pointer to an invalid value at the end of the address space, or SIZE_MAX/2 past the beginning of the string. this led to undefined behavior comparing and subtracting the end pointer with the buffer position pointer (rpos). the comparison issue is easily eliminated by using != instead of <. however the subtractions require nontrivial changes: previously, f->shcnt stored the count that would have been read if consuming the whole buffer, which required an end pointer for the buffer. the purpose for this was that it allowed reading it and adding rpos-rend at any time to get the actual count so far, and required no adjustment at the time of __shgetc (actual function call) since the call would only happen when reaching the end of the buffer. to get rid of the dependency on rend, instead offset shcnt by buf-rpos (start of buffer) at the time of last __shlim/__shgetc call. this makes for slightly more work in __shgetc the function, but for the inline macro it's still just as easy to compute the current count. since the scan helper interfaces used here are a big hack, comments are added to document their contracts and what's going on with their implementations.
2018-09-12reduce spurious inclusion of libc.hRich Felker-1/+0
libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented) cancellation points had to include it. remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases. in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h. declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are needed to use them correctly anyway.
2013-07-24add _l versions of strtod family functions, purely as aliasesRich Felker-0/+8
this is a cheat since the _l versions take an extra argument, but since these functions are only here for ABI purposes, it doesn't really matter as long as the ABI matches. if the non-__-prefixed versions are eventually made public, they should proabably be real functions rather than hacks like this.
2012-09-06use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker-3/+3
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.
2012-04-19fix really bad breakage in strtol, etc.: failure to accept leading spacesRich Felker-5/+3
2012-04-10add "scan helper getc" and rework strtod, etc. to use itRich Felker-2/+4
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.
2012-04-10unify strtof/strtod/strtold wrappers and fix initial whitespace issueRich Felker-4/+21
2012-04-10new floating point parser/converterRich Felker-1/+10
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.
