Florian Weimer e88b9f0e5c stdio-common: Convert vfprintf and related functions to buffers
vfprintf is entangled with vfwprintf (of course), __printf_fp,
__printf_fphex, __vstrfmon_l_internal, and the strfrom family of
functions.  The latter use the internal snprintf functionality,
so vsnprintf is converted as well.

The simples conversion is __printf_fphex, followed by
__vstrfmon_l_internal and __printf_fp, and finally
__vfprintf_internal and __vfwprintf_internal.  __vsnprintf_internal
and strfrom* are mostly consuming the new interfaces, so they
are comparatively simple.

__printf_fp is a public symbol, so the FILE *-based interface
had to preserved.

The __printf_fp rewrite does not change the actual binary-to-decimal
conversion algorithm, and digits are still not emitted directly to
the target buffer.  However, the staging buffer now uses bytes
instead of wide characters, and one buffer copy is eliminated.

The changes are at least performance-neutral in my testing.
Floating point printing and snprintf improved measurably, so that
this Lua script

  for i=1,5000000 do
      print(i, i * math.pi)
  end

runs about 5% faster for me.  To preserve fprintf performance for
a simple "%d" format, this commit has some logic changes under
LABEL (unsigned_number) to avoid additional function calls.  There
are certainly some very easy performance improvements here: binary,
octal and hexadecimal formatting can easily avoid the temporary work
buffer (the number of digits can be computed ahead-of-time using one
of the __builtin_clz* built-ins). Decimal formatting can use a
specialized version of _itoa_word for base 10.

The existing (inconsistent) width handling between strfmon and printf
is preserved here.  __print_fp_buffer_1 would have to use
__translated_number_width to achieve ISO conformance for printf.

Test expectations in libio/tst-vtables-common.c are adjusted because
the internal staging buffer merges all virtual function calls into
one.

In general, stack buffer usage is greatly reduced, particularly for
unbuffered input streams.  __printf_fp can still use a large buffer
in binary128 mode for %g, though.

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.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

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
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

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