Zack Weinberg aeacb9f912 getopt: merge from gnulib: alloca avoidance
In one place, glibc's getopt uses alloca to construct a linked list of
possibilities for an "ambiguous" long option.  In gnulib, malloc
should be used instead.  Providing for both cases complicates things a
fair bit.  Instead of merging straight across, therefore, I have
chosen to rewrite it using a boolean vector instead of a linked list.
There is then only one allocation that might need freeing; in glibc it
can honor __libc_use_alloca as usual, and in gnulib we define
__libc_use_alloca to always be false, so we don't need ifdefs in the
middle of the function.  This should also be slightly more efficient
in the normal case of long options being fully spelled out -- I think
most people aren't even aware they _can_ sometimes abbreviate long
options.

One interesting consequence is that the list of possibilities is now
printed in exactly the order they appear in the list of long options,
instead of the first possibility being shuffled to the end.  This
shouldn't be a big deal but it did break one test that relied on the
exact text of this error message.

(The reason the previous patch was "in aid of" merging from gnulib is
I didn't want to have to make this change in two places.)

(The patch looks bigger than it really is because there's a fair bit
of reindentation and code rearrangement.)

	* posix/getopt.c: When used standalone, define __libc_use_alloca
	as always false and alloca to abort if called.
	(process_long_option): Rewrite handling of ambiguous long options
	to use a single boolean vector, not a linked list; use
	__libc_use_alloca to decide whether to allocate this using alloca.

	* posix/tst-getopt_long1.c: Adjust text of expected error message.

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.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.

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
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	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
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://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 http://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 http://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.
