By default, Newlib uses a huge object of type struct _reent to store
thread-specific data. This object is returned by __getreent() if the
__DYNAMIC_REENT__ Newlib configuration option is defined.
The reentrancy structure contains for example errno and the standard input,
output, and error file streams. This means that if an application only uses
errno it has a dependency on the file stream support even if it does not use
it. This is an issue for lower end targets and applications which need to
qualify the software according to safety standards (for example ECSS-E-ST-40C,
ECSS-Q-ST-80C, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178, DO-330, DO-333).
If the new _REENT_THREAD_LOCAL configuration option is enabled, then struct
_reent is replaced by dedicated thread-local objects for each struct _reent
member. The thread-local objects are defined in translation units which use
the corresponding object.
- add new eBalloc macro to mprec.h which calls Balloc and
aborts if Balloc fails due to out of memory
- change mprec.c functions that use Balloc without checking to use eBalloc instead
- fix dtoa.c to use eBalloc
* libc/include/sys/reent.h (_Kmax): Define here based on the sizeof
size_t, as in latest NetBSD.
* libc/reent/reent.c (_reclaim_reent): Use _Kmax rather than constant
value 15.
* libc/stdlib/mprec.c (_Kmax): Don't define here. Explain why.
* libc/stdlib/Makefile.am: Add new gdtoa routines.
* libc/stdlib/Makefile.in: Regenerated.
* libc/stdlib/gd_qnan.h: New file.
* libc/stdlib/gdtoa-gethex.c: Ditto.
* libc/stdlib/gdtoa-hexnan.c: Ditto.
* libc/stdlib/gdtoa.h: Ditto.
* libc/stdlib/mprec.c: Add new helper routines needed by
the new gdtoa code.
* libc/stdlib/mprec.h: Integrate some defines and prototypes
used by gdtoa routines here.
* libc/stdlib/strtod.c: Rebased on David M. Gay's gdtoa-strtod.c
which adds C99 support such as nan, inf, and hexadecimal input
format.
* libc/stdlib/mprec.c (ulp, b2d, d2b): changed a few expressions
like x << y-z to the equivalent x << (y-z).
(d2b): changed if statements with assignment to perform the
assignment prior to the if check.
* libc/reent/reent.c: included stdlib.h for "_free_r" prototype.
* libc/unix/getpass.c (getpass): moved "echo" assignment out of if.
* libc/unix/ttyname.c: included string.h for "strcpy" prototype.
* libc/unix/getcwd.c (ISDOT): added parentheses to clarify && and ||
precedence.
* libc/include/sys/unistd.h: added "vfork" prototype (for popen.c).
Added "_execve" prototype (for execl.c, execle.c, execv.c, and
execve.c).
* libc/posix/popen.c (popen): added parentheses to clarify && and ||
precedence.
* libm/math/e_cosh.c (__ieee754_cosh): changed parentheses to
clarify && and || precendence (and to remove pascalism).
* libm/math/e_sinh.c (__ieee754_sinh): Ditto.
* libm/math/s_infconst.c: added another pair of braces to all
initializers for __infinity (need three: for __infinity[1] array,
for union __dmath, and for i[2]).
