Cover key corner cases (e.g., whether errno is set) that are well settled in glibc, fix some examples to avoid integer overflow, and update some other dated examples (code needed for K&R C, e.g.). * manual/charset.texi (Non-reentrant String Conversion): * manual/filesys.texi (Symbolic Links): * manual/memory.texi (Allocating Cleared Space): * manual/socket.texi (Host Names): * manual/string.texi (Concatenating Strings): * manual/users.texi (Setting Groups): Use reallocarray instead of realloc, to avoid integer overflow issues. * manual/filesys.texi (Scanning Directory Content): * manual/memory.texi (The GNU Allocator, Hooks for Malloc): * manual/tunables.texi: Use code font for 'malloc' instead of roman font. (Symbolic Links): Don't assume readlink return value fits in 'int'. * manual/memory.texi (Memory Allocation and C, Basic Allocation) (Malloc Examples, Alloca Example): * manual/stdio.texi (Formatted Output Functions): * manual/string.texi (Concatenating Strings, Collation Functions): Omit pointer casts that are needed only in ancient K&R C. * manual/memory.texi (Basic Allocation): Say that malloc sets errno on failure. Say "convert" rather than "cast", since casts are no longer needed. * manual/memory.texi (Basic Allocation): * manual/string.texi (Concatenating Strings): In examples, use C99 declarations after statements for brevity. * manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Add portability notes for malloc (0), errno setting, and PTRDIFF_MAX. (Changing Block Size): Say that realloc (p, 0) acts like (p ? (free (p), NULL) : malloc (0)). Add xreallocarray example, since other examples can use it. Add portability notes for realloc (0, 0), realloc (p, 0), PTRDIFF_MAX, and improve notes for reallocating to the same size. (Allocating Cleared Space): Reword now-confusing discussion about replacement, and xref "Replacing malloc". * manual/stdio.texi (Formatted Output Functions): Don't assume message size fits in 'int'. * manual/string.texi (Concatenating Strings): Fix undefined behavior involving arithmetic on a freed pointer. |

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.
