2012-10-27separate getc/putc from fgetc/fputcRich Felker-0/+13
for conformance, two functions should not have the same address. a conforming program could use the addresses of getc and fgetc in ways that assume they are distinct. normally i would just use a wrapper, but these functions are so small and performance-critical that an extra layer of function call could make the one that's a wrapper nearly twice as slow, so I'm just duplicating the code instead.
2011-03-28major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changesRich Felker-6/+0
the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's buffer in a single syscall. making this change required fundamental architectural changes to stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process: - the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set (though the latter could easily be changed back if desired) - unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters. - the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while shrinking the structure to save some space. - error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct. - library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g. with ungetc. - lots of other small things.
