C2X adds a printf %b format (see
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2630.pdf>, accepted
for C2X), for outputting integers in binary. It also has recommended
practice for a corresponding %B format (like %b, but %#B starts the
output with 0B instead of 0b). Add support for these formats to
glibc.
One existing test uses %b as an example of an unknown format, to test
how glibc printf handles unknown formats; change that to %v. Use of
%b and %B as user-registered format specifiers continues to work (and
we already have a test that covers that, tst-printfsz.c).
Note that C2X also has scanf %b support, plus support for binary
constants starting 0b in strtol (base 0 and 2) and scanf %i (strtol
base 0 and scanf %i coming from a previous paper that added binary
integer literals). I intend to implement those features in a separate
patch or patches; as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>,
they will be more complicated because they involve adding extra public
symbols to ensure compatibility with existing code that might not
expect 0b constants to be handled by strtol base 0 and 2 and scanf %i,
whereas simply adding a new format specifier poses no such
compatibility concerns.
Note that the actual conversion from integer to string uses existing
code in _itoa.c. That code has special cases for bases 8, 10 and 16,
probably so that the compiler can optimize division by an integer
constant in the code for those bases. If desired such special cases
could easily be added for base 2 as well, but that would be an
optimization, not actually needed for these printf formats to work.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also tested with build-many-glibcs.py for
aarch64-linux-gnu with GCC mainline to make sure that the test does
indeed build with GCC 12 (where format checking warnings are enabled
for most of the test).
A recent GCC mainline change introduces errors of the form:
vfprintf-internal.c: In function 'group_number':
vfprintf-internal.c:2093:15: error: 'memmove' specified bound between 9223372036854775808 and 18446744073709551615 exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
2093 | memmove (w, s, (front_ptr -s) * sizeof (CHAR_T));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a genuine bug in the glibc code: s > front_ptr is always true
at this point in the code, and the intent is clearly for the
subtraction to be the other way round. The other arguments to the
memmove call here also appear to be wrong; w and s point just *after*
the destination and source for copying the rest of the number, so the
size needs to be subtracted to get appropriate pointers for the
copying. Adjust the memmove call to conform to the apparent intent of
the code, so fixing the -Wstringop-overflow error.
Now, if the original code were ever executed, a buffer overrun would
result. However, I believe this code (introduced in commit
edc1686af0, "vfprintf: Reuse work_buffer
in group_number", so in glibc 2.26) is unreachable in prior glibc
releases (so there is no need for a bug in Bugzilla, no need to
consider any backports unless someone wants to build older glibc
releases with GCC 12 and no possibility of this buffer overrun
resulting in a security issue).
work_buffer is 1000 bytes / 250 wide characters. This case is only
reachable if an initial part of the number, plus a grouped copy of the
rest of the number, fail to fit in that space; that is, if the grouped
number fails to fit in the space. In the wide character case,
grouping is always one wide character, so even with a locale (of which
there aren't any in glibc) grouping every digit, a number would need
to occupy at least 125 wide characters to overflow, and a 64-bit
integer occupies at most 23 characters in octal including a leading 0.
In the narrow character case, the multibyte encoding of the grouping
separator would need to be at least 42 bytes to overflow, again
supposing grouping every digit, but MB_LEN_MAX is 16. So even if we
admit the case of artificially constructed locales not shipped with
glibc, given that such a locale would need to use one of the character
sets supported by glibc, this code cannot be reached at present. (And
POSIX only actually specifies the ' flag for grouping for decimal
output, though glibc acts on it for other bases as well.)
With binary output (if you consider use of grouping there to be
valid), you'd need a 15-byte multibyte character for overflow; I don't
know if any supported character set has such a character (if, again,
we admit constructed locales using grouping every digit and a grouping
separator chosen to have a multibyte encoding as long as possible, as
well as accepting use of grouping with binary), but given that we have
this code at all (clearly it's not *correct*, or in accordance with
the principle of avoiding arbitrary limits, to skip grouping on
running out of internal space like that), I don't think it should need
any further changes for binary printf support to go in.
On the other hand, support for large sizes of _BitInt in printf (see
the N2858 proposal) *would* require something to be done about such
arbitrary limits (presumably using dynamic allocation in printf again,
for sufficiently large _BitInt arguments only - currently only
floating-point uses dynamic allocation, and, as previously discussed,
that could actually be replaced by bounded allocation given smarter
code).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for aarch64-linux-gnu (GCC mainline).
Also tested natively for x86_64.
My glibc bot shows failures building the testsuite with GCC mainline

This is clearly a correct warning; the comparison against NULL is

does use calloc. Thus, remove the unnecessary check for NULL shown up

Similarly, two other tests have bogus comparisons against NULL; remove

Instead of checking a pointer argument for NULL, use helper macros
defined differently in the non-positional and positional cases.
This avoids frequent conditional checks and a GCC 12 warning
about comparing pointers against NULL which cannot be NULL.
A lot of the code is unique to the positional and non-positional
code. Also unify the decimal and hexadecimal cases via the new
helper function __printf_fp_spec.
We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it

libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded
to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that
depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again.
Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops.
These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches.
Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to
preload libc_malloc_debug.so.
The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly
the same version as libc.so.
Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc
debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.

checking by decorating more APIs with either attribute access, or by
explicitly providing the array bound in APIs such as tmpnam() that
expect arrays of some minimum size as arguments. (The latter feature

The only effects of the attribute and/or the array bound is to check
and diagnose calls to the functions that fail to provide a sufficient
number of elements, and the definitions of the functions that access
elements outside the specified bounds. (There is no interplay with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE here yet.)
Tested with GCC 7 through 11 on x86_64-linux.
Patterns like %*[ can safely be used to match a great many characters,
and it's quite realisitic to use them for more than INT_MAX characters
from an IO stream.
With the previous approach, after INT_MAX characters (v)fscanf would
return successfully, indicating an end to the match, even though there
wasn't one.
'this' can be understood as the current parameter, but in this case it
is meaning the other one, the one holding the width/precission.
'it' better describes that parameter, differentiating it from the
one corresponding to the current specifier.

The vfprintf implementation (used for all printf-family functions)
contains complicated logic to allocate internal buffers of a size
depending on the width and precision used for a format, using either
malloc or alloca depending on that size, and with consequent checks
for size overflow and allocation failure.
As noted in bug 26211, the version of that logic used when '$' plus
argument number formats are in use is missing the overflow checks,
which can result in segfaults (quite possibly exploitable, I didn't
try to work that out) when the width or precision is in the range
0x7fffffe0 through 0x7fffffff (maybe smaller values as well in the
wprintf case on 32-bit systems, when the multiplication by sizeof
(CHAR_T) can overflow).
All that complicated logic in fact appears to be useless. As far as I
can tell, there has been no need (outside the floating-point printf
code, which does its own allocations) for allocations depending on
width or precision since commit
3e95f6602b ("Remove limitation on size
of precision for integers", Sun Sep 12 21:23:32 1999 +0000). Thus,
this patch removes that logic completely, thereby fixing both problems
with excessive allocations for large width and precision for
non-floating-point formats, and the problem with missing overflow
checks with such allocations. Note that this does have the
consequence that width and precision up to INT_MAX are now allowed
where previously INT_MAX / sizeof (CHAR_T) - EXTSIZ or more would have
been rejected, so could potentially expose any other overflows where
the value would previously have been rejected by those removed checks.
I believe this completely fixes bugs 14231 and 26211.
Excessive allocations are still possible in the floating-point case
(bug 21127), as are other integer or buffer overflows (see bug 26201).
This does not address the cases where a precision larger than INT_MAX
(embedded in the format string) would be meaningful without printf's
return value overflowing (when it's used with a string format, or %g
without the '#' flag, so the actual output will be much smaller), as
mentioned in bug 17829 comment 8; using size_t internally for
precision to handle that case would be complicated by struct
printf_info being a public ABI. Nor does it address the matter of an
INT_MIN width being negated (bug 17829 comment 7; the same logic
appears a second time in the file as well, in the form of multiplying
by -1). There may be other sources of memory allocations with malloc
in printf functions as well (bug 24988, bug 16060). From inspection,
I think there are also integer overflows in two copies of "if ((width
-= len) < 0)" logic (where width is int, len is size_t and a very long
string could result in spurious padding being output on a 32-bit
system before printf overflows the count of output characters).
Tested for x86-64 and x86.

All functions that have a format string, which can consume a long double
argument, must have one version for each long double format supported on
a platform. On powerpc64le, these functions currently have two versions
(i.e.: long double with the same format as double, and long double with
IBM Extended Precision format). Support for a third long double format
option (i.e. long double with IEEE long double format) is being prepared
and all the aforementioned functions now have a third version (not yet
exported on the master branch, but the code is in).
For these functions to get selected (during build time), references to
them in user programs (or dependent libraries) must get redirected to
the aforementioned new versions of the functions. This patch installs
the header magic required to perform such redirections.
Notice, however, that since the redirections only happen when
__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 is set to 1, and no platform (including
powerpc64le) currently does it, no redirections actually happen.

On powerpc64le, long double can currently take two formats: the same as
double (-mlong-double-64) or IBM Extended Precision (default with

implementation of printf-like functions is aware of these possibilities
and properly parses floating-point values from the variable arguments,
before making calls to __printf_fp and __printf_fphex. These functions
are also aware of the format possibilities and know how to convert both
formats to string.
When library support for TS 18661-3 was added to glibc, __printf_fp and
__printf_fphex were extended with support for an additional type
(__float128/_Float128) with a different format (binary128). Now that
powerpc64le is getting support for its third long double format, and

The only difference between noncompliant and C99-compliant scanf is
that the former accepts the archaic GNU extension '%as' (also %aS and
%a[...]) meaning to allocate space for the input string with malloc.
This extension conflicts with C99's use of %a as a format _type_
meaning to read a floating-point number; POSIX.1-2008 standardized
equivalent functionality using the modifier letter 'm' instead (%ms,
%mS, %m[...]).
The extension was already disabled in most conformance modes:
specifically, any mode that doesn't involve _GNU_SOURCE and _does_
involve either strict conformance to C99 or loose conformance to both
C99 and POSIX.1-2001 would get the C99-compliant scanf. With
compilers new enough to use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu89, or
equivalent, that includes the default mode.
With this patch, we now provide C99-compliant scanf in all
configurations except when _GNU_SOURCE is defined *and*
__STDC_VERSION__ or __cplusplus (whichever is relevant) indicates
C89/C++98. This leaves the old scanf available under e.g. -std=c89
-D_GNU_SOURCE, but removes it from e.g. -std=gnu11 -D_GNU_SOURCE (it
was already not present under -std=gnu11 without -D_GNU_SOURCE) and
from -std=gnu89 without -D_GNU_SOURCE.
There needs to be an internal override so we can compile the
noncompliant scanf itself. This is the same problem we had when we
removed 'gets' from _GNU_SOURCE and it's dealt with the same way:
there's a new __GLIBC_USE symbol, DEPRECATED_SCANF, which defaults to
off under the appropriate conditions for external code, but can be
overridden by individual files within stdio.
We also run into problems with PLT bypass for internal uses of sscanf,
because libc_hidden_proto uses __REDIRECT and so does the logic in
stdio.h for choosing which implementation of scanf to use; __REDIRECT
isn't transitive, so include/stdio.h needs to bridge the gap with a
macro. As far as I can tell, sscanf is the only function in this
family that's internally called by unrelated code.
Finally, there are several tests in stdio-common that use the
extension. bug21.c is a regression test for a crash; it still
exercises the relevant code when changed to use %ms instead of %as.
scanf14.c through scanf17.c are more complicated since they are
actually testing the subtleties of the extension - under what
circumstances is 'a' treated as a modifier letter, etc. I changed all
of them to use %ms instead of %as as well, but duplicated scanf14.c
and scanf16.c as scanf14a.c and scanf16a.c. These still use %as and
are compiled with -std=gnu89 to access the old extension. A bunch of
diagnostic overrides and manual workarounds for the old stdio.h
behavior become unnecessary. Yay!
* include/features.h (__GLIBC_USE_DEPRECATED_SCANF): New __GLIBC_USE
parameter. Only use deprecated scanf when __USE_GNU is defined
and __STDC_VERSION__ is less than 199901L or __cplusplus is less
than 201103L, whichever is relevant for the language being compiled.
* libio/stdio.h, libio/bits/stdio-ldbl.h: Decide whether to redirect
scanf, fscanf, sscanf, vscanf, vfscanf, and vsscanf to their
__isoc99_ variants based only on __GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_SCANF).
* wcsmbs/wchar.h: wcsmbs/bits/wchar-ldbl.h: Likewise for
wscanf, fwscanf, swscanf, vwscanf, vfwscanf, and vswscanf.

Override __GLIBC_USE_DEPRECATED_SCANF to 1.
* stdio-common/sscanf.c: Likewise. Remove ldbl_hidden_def for __sscanf.
* stdio-common/isoc99_sscanf.c: Add libc_hidden_def for __isoc99_sscanf.
* include/stdio.h: Provide libc_hidden_proto for __isoc99_sscanf,
not sscanf.
[!__GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_SCANF)]: Define sscanf as __isoc99_scanf
with a preprocessor macro.
* stdio-common/bug21.c, stdio-common/scanf14.c:
Use %ms instead of %as, %mS instead of %aS, %m[] instead of %a[];
remove DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT for -Wformat.
* stdio-common/scanf16.c: Likewise. Add __attribute__ ((format (scanf)))
to xscanf, xfscanf, xsscanf.
* stdio-common/scanf14a.c: New copy of scanf14.c which still uses
%as, %aS, %a[]. Remove DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT for -Wformat.

%as, %aS, %a[]. Add __attribute__ ((format (scanf))) to xscanf,
xfscanf, xsscanf.
* stdio-common/scanf15.c, stdio-common/scanf17.c: No need to
override feature selection macros or provide definitions of u_char etc.
* stdio-common/Makefile (tests): Add scanf14a and scanf16a.
(CFLAGS-scanf15.c, CFLAGS-scanf17.c): Remove.
(CFLAGS-scanf14a.c, CFLAGS-scanf16a.c): New. Compile these files
with -std=gnu89.
On powerpc64le, long double can currently take two formats: the same as
double (-mlong-double-64) or IBM Extended Precision (default with
-mlong-double-128 or explicitly with -mabi=ibmlongdouble). The internal
implementation of scanf-like functions is aware of these possibilites
and, based on the format in use, properly calls __strtold_internal or
__strtod_internal, saving the return to a variable of type double or
long double.
When library support for TS 18661-3 was added to glibc, a new function,
__strtof128_internal, was added to enable reading of floating-point
values with IEEE binary128 format into the _Float128 type. Now that
powerpc64le is getting support for its third long double format, and
taking into account that this format is the same as the format of
_Float128, this patch extends __vfscanf_internal and __vfwscanf_internal
to call __strtof128_internal or __wcstof128_internal when appropriate.
The result gets saved into a variable of _Float128 type.
Tested for powerpc64le.
After all that prep work, nldbl-compat.c can now use PRINTF_LDBL_IS_DBL
instead of __no_long_double to control the behavior of printf-like
functions; this is the last thing we needed __no_long_double for, so it
can go away entirely.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
