This makes their headers and their specifications in the manual consistent with their actual behavior. The const qualifiers in the headers may prevent errors when using strict type checking.
A macro is used to control whether struct timespec is declared, because GNO might want to declare it in other headers, and this would allow it to avoid duplicate declarations. (This will still require changes in the GNO headers. Currently, they declare struct timespec with different field names, although the layout is the same.)
This is necessary to work correctly if the last fixed argument is of type double and #pragma extensions bit 1 is clear. It will also be necessary for C23, where va_start does not require the LastFixedParm argument. (For now, however, we stick with the pre-C23 definition of va_start where that argument needs to be supplied, even though it is now ignored.)
They are supposed to be macros, according to the C standards. This ordinarily doesn't matter, but it can be detected by #ifdef, as in the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef stdin
int main(void) {
puts("stdin is a macro");
}
#endif
This avoids any possible issue with code possibly expecting __FE_DFL_ENV to be in the data bank when using the large memory model, although I don't think that happened in practice.
Now rewind() will always be called as a function. In combination with an update to the rewind() function in ORCALib, this will ensure that the error indicator is always cleared, as required by the C standards.
This indicates that floating-point exceptions are used to report math errors. The existing functions will still also set errno in the existing cases, but the new C99 functions generally will not.
In the new implementation, variable arguments are not removed until the end of the function. This allows variable argument processing to be restarted, and it prevents the addresses of local variables from changing in the middle of the function. The requirement to turn off stack repair code around varargs functions is also removed.
This fixes#58.
This is required by C95 and later; it may be set by character/string conversion functions. Note that the value of 12 conflicts with GNO's existing definition of EPERM. This should not cause much trouble, but GNO could potentially define its own different value for EILSEQ, with the GNO version of ORCALib adjusted accordingly.
This was not working because floating-point arguments are really passed in the extended format, but based on the wording in the C standard a type of "double" should still work for arguments passed with that type.
This fixes#29. (The bug report was valid only with respect to double, not float or long double.)
This is required by C99 and later, enabled by the availability of __func__.
This requires an updated assertion-printing function in ORCALib. Unfortunately, GNO has the assertion-printing function in its libc rather than in ORCALib, because it calls the GNO implementation of stdio. Therefore, we continue to use the old form under GNO for now, to maintain compatibility with its existing libc.
Previously, they were hard-coded as 60, but the clock tick frequency actually depends on the video mode. They now call a new library function that can detect the video mode and return the proper value.
This also makes CLOCKS_PER_SEC have the type clock_t, as C99 and later require.
The correct values for LDBL_MAX and LDBL_MIN can now be provided, because we support long double constants. The other values are also updated to have more precision, so that they evaluate to bit-correct values in the long double format.
