Type of variables size and i is changed from size_t to int.
Variable size is used to collect the result from backtrace ()
that is an int. i is the loop counter variable so it can be an int.
Since, size_t size is changed to int size, in printf %zd is changed to %d.

This is a major rewrite of the description of 'crypt', 'getentropy',
and 'getrandom'.
A few highlights of the content changes:
- Throughout the manual, public headers, and user-visible messages,
I replaced the term "password" with "passphrase", the term
"password database" with "user database", and the term
"encrypt(ion)" with "(one-way) hashing" whenever it was applied to
passphrases. I didn't bother making this change in internal code
or tests. The use of the term "password" in ruserpass.c survives,
because that refers to a keyword in netrc files, but it is adjusted
to make this clearer.
There is a note in crypt.texi explaining that they were
traditionally called passwords but single words are not good enough
anymore, and a note in users.texi explaining that actual passphrase
hashes are found in a "shadow" database nowadays.
- There is a new short introduction to the "Cryptographic Functions"
section, explaining how we do not intend to be a general-purpose
cryptography library, and cautioning that there _are_, or have
been, legal restrictions on the use of cryptography in many
countries, without getting into any kind of detail that we can't
promise to keep up to date.
- I added more detail about what a "one-way function" is, and why
they are used to obscure passphrases for storage. I removed the
paragraph saying that systems not connected to a network need no
user authentication, because that's a pretty rare situation
nowadays. (It still says "sometimes it is necessary" to
authenticate the user, though.)
- I added documentation for all of the hash functions that glibc
actually supports, but not for the additional hash functions
supported by libxcrypt. If we're going to keep this manual section
around after the transition is more advanced, it would probably
make sense to add them then.
- There is much more detailed discussion of how to generate a salt,
and the failure behavior for crypt is documented. (Returning an
invalid hash on failure is what libxcrypt does; Solar Designer's
notes say that this was done "for compatibility with old programs
that assume crypt can never fail".)
- As far as I can tell, the header 'crypt.h' is entirely a GNU
invention, and never existed on any other Unix lineage. The
function 'crypt', however, was in Issue 1 of the SVID and is now
in the XSI component of POSIX. I tried to make all of the
@standards annotations consistent with this, but I'm not sure I got
them perfectly right.
- The genpass.c example has been improved to use getentropy instead
of the current time to generate the salt, and to use a SHA-256 hash
instead of MD5. It uses more random bytes than is strictly
necessary because I didn't want to complicate the code with proper
base64 encoding.
- The testpass.c example has three hardwired hashes now, to
demonstrate that different one-way functions produce different
hashes for the same input. It also demonstrates how DES hashing
only pays attention to the first eight characters of the input.
- There is new text explaining in more detail how a CSPRNG differs
from a regular random number generator, and how
getentropy/getrandom are not exactly a CSPRNG. I tried not to make
specific falsifiable claims here. I also tried to make the
blocking/cancellation/error behavior of both getentropy and
getrandom clearer.
The example did not work because the null byte was not converted, and
mbrtowc was called with a zero-length input string. This results in a
(size_t) -2 return value, so the function always returns NULL.
The size computation for the heap allocation of the result was
incorrect because it did not deal with integer overflow.
Error checking was missing, and the allocated memory was not freed on
error paths. All error returns now set errno. (Note that there is an
assumption that free does not clobber errno.)
The slightly unportable comparision against (size_t) -2 to catch both
(size_t) -1 and (size_t) -2 return values is gone as well.
A null wide character needs to be stored in the result explicitly, to
terminate it.
The description in the manual is updated to deal with these finer
points. The (size_t) -2 behavior (consuming the input bytes) matches
what is specified in ISO C11.
This patches fixes multiples issues on open_{w}memstream reported on both
BZ#18241 and BZ#20181:
- failed fseek does not set errno.
- negative offset in fseek fails even when resulting position is
a valid one.
- a flush after write if the current write position is not at the
end of the stream currupt data.
The main fix is on seek operation for memstream (_IO_{w}str_seekoff), where
both _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end pointer are updated if a write operation
has occured (similar to default file operations). Also, to calculate the
offset on both read and write pointers, a temporary value is instead of
updating the argument supplied value. Negative offset are valid if resulting
internal pointer is within the range of _IO_{read,write}_base and
_IO_{read,write}_end.
Also POSIX states that a null or wide null shall be appended to the current
buffer iff a write moves the position to a value larger than the current
lenght. Current implementation appends a null or wide null regardless
of this condition. This patch fixes it by removing the 'else' condition
on _IO_{w}mem_sync.
Checked on x86_64.
[BZ #18241]
[BZ #20181]
* libio/Makefile (test): Add tst-memstream3 and tst-wmemstream3.
* libio/memstream.c (_IO_mem_sync): Only append a null byte if
write position is at the end the buffer.
* libio/wmemstream.c (_IO_wmem_sync): Likewise.
* libio/strops.c (_IO_str_switch_to_get_mode): New function.
(_IO_str_seekoff): Set correct offset from negative displacement and
set EINVAL for invalid ones.
* libio/wstrops.c (enlarge_userbuf): Use correct function to calculate
buffer length.
(_IO_wstr_switch_to_get_mode): New function.
(_IO_wstr_seekoff): Set correct offset from negative displacement and

* libio/tst-wmemstream3.c: Likewise.
* manual/examples/memstrm.c: Remove warning when priting size_t.
Previously, application code had to set up the d_namlen member if
the target supported it, involving conditional compilation. After
this change, glob will use the length of the string in d_name instead
of d_namlen to determine the file name length. All glibc targets
provide the d_type and d_ino members, and setting them as needed for
gl_readdir is straightforward.
Changing the behavior with regards to d_ino is left to a future
cleanup.
* manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove.
This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined
behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE. Anyway, the manual
shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing.
* manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into
three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings,
and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long. All
cross-referenced changed. Add advice about string-truncation
functions. Remove misleading strncat example.
This automatically-generated patch converts 29 function definitions in
glibc (including one in an example in the manual) from old-style K&R
to prototype-style. Following my other recent such patches, this one
deals with the case of function definitions where one K&R parameter
declaration declares multiple parameters, as in:
void
foo (a, b)
int a, *b;
{
}
