2016-11-12the referred to EXAMPLES section is now in strncpy(3);Jason McIntyre
issue reported by scott cheloha ok otto
2016-10-19Remove the save_errno dance inside strerror_r(3). It is from theAlexander Bluhm
time when we had national language support. OK millert@
2016-10-16Roll back uintptr_t cast changes after discussions with tedu, otto andDarren Tucker
others. C11 6.5.6.9 says: When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the array object; the result is the difference of the subscripts of the two array elements. In these cases the objects are arrays of char so the result is defined, and we believe that the report is based on a compiler incorrectly trapping on defined behaviour.
2016-10-14Cast pointers to uintptr_t to avoid potential signedness errors.Darren Tucker

2016-05-26The destination string is declared as "s" but referred to as "dst"Todd C. Miller
in some cases. Be consistent and use "dst" everywhere like for strlcat(3) and strncat(3). From Tim Kuijsten.

2016-03-30for some time now mandoc has not required MLINKS to functionJason McIntyre
correctly - logically complete that now by removing MLINKS from base; authors need only to ensure there is an entry in NAME for any function/ util being added. MLINKS will still work, and remain for perl to ease upgrades; ok nicm (curses) bcook (ssl) ok schwarze, who provided a lot of feedback and assistance ok tb natano jung

2015-10-25The only thing that was translated into multiple languages in OpenBSDAlexander Bluhm
are the errno messages and signal names. Everything else is in English. We are not planning to translate more text. Running a mixed system with less than 1% of the text in native language makes no sense. So remove the NLS support from libc messages. The catopen(3) functions stay as they are. OK stsp@ mpi@
2015-10-01Eliminate the last of the LINTEDn and PRINTFLIKEn comments. In onePhilip Guenther
case, by deleting some useless '& of an array' we also eliminate the need for the casts which prompted the original lint warnings ok deraadt@

2015-08-31Add framework for resolving (pun intended) libc namespace issues, usingPhilip Guenther
wrapper .h files and asm labels to let internal calls resolve directly and not be overridable or use the PLT. Then, apply that framework to most of the functions in stdio.h, string.h, err.h, and wchar.h. Delete the should-have-been-hidden-all-along _v?(err|warn)[cx]? symbols while here. tests clean on i386, amd64, sparc64, powerpc, and mips64 naming feedback from kettenis@ and millert@ ok kettenis@

2014-12-09In ingo's new world order, we do not want multiple manual pages describingTheo de Raadt
the same thingies. Therefore these "lists of functions" man pages can go away. Hurray! I've wanted these pages to die for around 10 years! ok ingo (and i think jmc)
2014-11-30Replace all 14 instances of .St -ansiC-99 in our tree with .St -isoC-99.Ingo Schwarze
The former is not used anywhere in NetBSD, FreeBSD, or DragonFly and not supported by groff, so i'm going to delete it from mandoc(1). We don't need two macros for the same thing.
2014-11-30restructure libc/string + libc/arch/*/string coperation regardingTheo de Raadt
(potentially) MD versions (function dependent, not filename dependent) split out memcpy/memmove/bcopy and strchr/index/strrchr/rindex Bring back amd64 .S versions And the final touch: switch all architectures temporarily to MI memcpy.c, which contains syslog + abort for overlapping copies. A nice harsh undefined behaviour. We will clean the entire userland of the remaining issues in this catagory, then switch to the optimised memcpy which skips the memmove check. I tried to cut this change into pieces, but testing each sub-step on every architecture is too time consuming and mindnumbing. ok miod

2014-06-21Protect explicit_bzero() from link-time optimizationMatthew Dempsky
Modern compiler toolchains are capable of optimizing even across translation unit boundaries, so simply moving the memory clearing into a separate function is not guaranteed to clear memory. To avoid this, we take advantage of ELF weak symbol semantics, and insert a call to an empty, weakly named function. The semantics of calling this function aren't determinable until load time, so the compiler and linker need to keep the memset() call. There are still ways a toolchain might defeat this trick (e.g., optimistically expecting the weak symbol to not be overloaded, and only calling memset() if it is; promoting weak symbols to strong symbols at link-time when emitting a static binary because they won't be interposed; implementing load-time optimizations). But at least for the foreseeable future, these seem unlikely. ok deraadt
