Subject: patch for sscanf issues
the current sscanf implementation has 2 issues:
- it doesnt return EOF with fscanf, which causes the /gcc/genhooks.c to
enter an endless loop when compiling gcc 4.6.0
- it doesnt return the correct value in %n pointer, when something like
"%*d%n" is used
both bugs are fixed in the following patch. this means a) gcc 4.6.0
compilation succeeds now, and b) musl now passes the rigorous sscanf
testsuite of gnu gmp, which is executed when "make check" is called.
here are some testcases
bug 1: EOF (testcase.txt is available here: http://int3.at/testcase.txt )
this one causes GCC compilation to fail
FILE* f = fopen("testcase.txt", "r");
while (fscanf (f, "%*[^@]"), buf[0] = '\0',
fscanf (f, "@%5[^ \n]", buf) != EOF) {
if(*buf) {
i++;
printf("%d: %s\n",i,buf);
}
}
fclose(f);
bug 2: %n after %*d
this one causes GMP testsuite to fail
int i;
assert(sscanf ("123", "%*d%d", &i) == -1);
assert(sscanf ("123", "%*d%n", &i) == 0);
printf("value passed in pointer: %d\n", i); // it seems glibc
returns 3 in i, while musl returns 2
ret = sscanf("123" + i, "%d%n", &i);
printf("%d\n", ret);
assert(ret == -1);
