In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, the size expression may be non-constant, resulting in branches in the inline functions remaining intact and causing a tiny overhead. Clang (and in future, gcc) make sure that the -1 case is always safe, i.e. any comparison of the generated expression with (size_t)-1 is always false so that bit is taken care of. The rest is avoidable since we want the _chk variant whenever we have a size expression and it's not -1. Rework the conditionals in a uniform way to clearly indicate two conditions at compile time: - Either the size is unknown (-1) or we know at compile time that the operation length is less than the object size. We can call the original function in this case. It could be that either the length, object size or both are non-constant, but the compiler, through range analysis, is able to fold the *comparison* to a constant. - The size and length are known and the compiler can see at compile time that operation length > object size. This is valid grounds for a warning at compile time, followed by emitting the _chk variant. For everything else, emit the _chk variant. This simplifies most of the fortified function implementations and at the same time, ensures that only one call from _chk or the regular function is emitted.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arc*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv32-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
