It was foiled because of dynamic copy relocations that caused compile-time
space to be reserved in .bss and at run time a blob of data was copied to
that space and everything used the .bss version.. The problem is that
the space is reserved at compile time, not runtime... So we *still* could
not change the size of FILE. Sigh. :-(
Replace it with something that does actually work and really does let us
make 'FILE' extendable. It also happens to be the same as Linux does in
glibc, but has the slight cost of a pointer. Note that this is the
same cost that 'fp = fopen(), fprintf(fp, ...); fclose(fp);' has.
Fortunately, actual references to stdin/out/err are not all that common
since we have implicit stdin/out/err-using versions of functions
(printf() vs. fprintf()).
arguments where the format string is obtained from user data, or
otherwise difficult to verify statically.
Example usage:
printf(fmtcheck(user_format, standard_format), arg1, arg2);
checks the format string user_format for consistency (same number/order/
type of format operators) with standard_format. If they differ,
standard_format is used instead to avoid potential crashes or security
violations.

lock definitions to it. flockfile state is now allocated
along with the rest of FILE. This eliminates the need for a
separate allocation of flockfile state as well as eliminating
the mutex/lock used to serialize its allocation.
o Back out the __std* stuff. Can't figure out how to do this right now,
so we'll save it for late.
o use _up as a pointer for extra fields that we need to access.
o back out the libc major version bump.

bikeshed in -arch. It isn't quite over, but it has been well established
that this can be adjusted or refined. But we do seem to have consensis
on a major bump of some sort. After this, it should reasonably safe
to build world again.
This change is to get rid of __sF[] and use seperate __stdin/out/err
handles. This means we can pad on extra bits onto the end of FILE
at will without going through this all over again. __sF[] was evil
because it compiled the sizeof(FILE) into every stdio using program.

try a hopefully more robust stdin/stdout/stderr. This costs an indirect
pointer fetch, but saves us from changes in 'FILE'. The __stdin stuff
is there to not pollute application name space if the application does
not use <stdio.h> and also in case something depended on the current
behavior where stdin etc was a #define.

Use them to `make gcc -Wformat' check formats for all printf-like
and scanf-like functions in /usr/src except for the err()/warn()
family. err() isn't quite printf-like since its format arg can
legitimately be NULL. syslog() isn't quite printf-like, but gcc
already accepts %m, even for plain printf() when it shouldn't.
as threatened in the 4-5 year old comment. Most of the change is
in <machine/ansi.h>; this commit just removes cruft for the strict
ANSI case. 64-bit types couldn't actually be defined using
__attribute__(()) in gcc-2.4, since attribute names in the
implementation namespace only became available in gcc-2.7. I've
probably just broken gcc-2.6 support by using the gcc-2.7 names
unconditionally.

The externs in the static inline functions remain 'cause (a) they're

test for __isthreaded before calling the lock/unlock functions to
try to save some performance. The _THREAD_SAFE case should become the
default, but since it tests for a global variable in libc, people won't
be able to build -current on pre-3.0 systems unless the default leaves
it out. Such is life.
Use _BSD_OFF_T_ instead of off_t so that we're still self-sufficent.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
not based on gpl'ed code, just prototype and usage. I'm not 100% certain
they behave the same while the system is in trouble (eg: malloc() failing)
but in those circumstances all bets would be off anyway.
These routines work like sprintf() and vsprintf(), except that instead of
using a fixed buffer, they allocate memory and return it to the user
and it's the user's responsibility to free() it. They have allocate as
much memory as they need (and can get), so the size of strings it can deal
with is limited only by the amount of memory it can malloc() on your
behalf.
There are a few gpl'ed programs starting to use this interface, and it's
becoming more common with the scares about security risks with sprintf().
I dont like the look of the code that the various programs (including
cvs, gdb, libg++, etc) provide if configure can't find it on the system.
It should be possible to modify the stdio core code to provide this
interface more efficiently, I was more worried about having something
that worked and was secure. :-) (I noticed that there was once intended
to be a smprintf() routine when our stdio was written for 4.4BSD, but it
looks pretty stillborn, and it's intended interface is not clear). Since
Linux and gnu libc have this interface, it seemed silly to bring yet
another one onto the scene.
