Bug 1496: Add asprintf() and vasprintf()  Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1496

This issue is tagged for Issue 8.

Add pointer page for asprintf referencing fprintf.
Add pointer page for vasprintf referencing vfprintf.

On p909 line 30737 add asprintf to the title line.

On P 909, before line 30740, add
[CX]<tt>int asprintf(char ** restrict ptr, const char * restrict format, ...);</tt>

(the next line, dprintf() is already CX shaded, so this extends the shading backwards).

On line 30747, change
    Excluding dprintf( ):
to
    Excluding asprintf() and dprintf():

Before line 30754 insert a new paragraph, CX shaded:
    The asprintf() function shall be equivalent to sprintf(), except
    that the output string shall be written to dynamically allocated
    memory, allocated as if by a call to malloc(), of sufficient
    length to hold the resulting string, including a terminating
    null byte. If the call to asprintf() is successful, the address
    of this dynamically allocated string shall be stored in the
    location referenced by ptr.

Before line 31016, Add a new paragraph, CX shaded:
    Upon successful completion, the asprintf() function shall return
    the number of bytes written to the allocated string stored in
    the location referenced by ptr, excluding the terminating null
    byte.

At line 31021 append a sentence CX shaded:
    For asprintf(), if memory allocation was not possible, or if
    some other error occurs, the function shall return a negative
    value, and the contents of ptr are undefined, but shall not
    refer to allocated memory.

Before line 31032 add:
    [CX]The asprintf() function shall fail if:

    [ENOMEM] Insufficient storage space is available.[/CX]

Add CX shading to lines 31032-33.
On page 920, APPLICATION USAGE, after line 31260 add a new paragraph:

    The space allocated by a successful call to asprintf() should
    be subsequently freed by a call to free().

On page 2212, line 70651 add vasprintf to the title line.

Insert before line 70655 (extending the CX shading backwards a line)
    [CX]
    <tt>int vasprintf(char ** restrict ptr, const char * restrict format, va_list arg);</tt>

At line 70666, change
    The [CX]vdprintf()[/CX], ...
to
    The [CX]vasprintf(), vdprintf()[/CX], ...

At line 70667, change
    [CX]dprintf()[/CX], ...
to
    [CX]asprintf(), dprintf()[/CX], ...

Note:
Though the ISO TR includes aswprintf, no current implementations appear to
provide this, so it is not included here. Additionally, such functionality
is available using open_wmemstream, so invention here is really unecessary.

Bug 1505: Make doesn't seem to specify unset macro expansion behaviour Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1505

This issue is tagged for Issue 8.

On draft 2.1 page 2943 line 98732 change:
    that completely matches the [op]%[os] pattern on the left hand side
to:
    that completely matches, in a case-sensitive manner, the [op]%[os]
    pattern on the left hand side

On draft 2.1 page 2944 line 98750 change:
    If the original value of the variable named by string1 is an
    empty string, the final result shall be an empty string. Matching
    shall be case-sensitive.
to:
    In all forms of macro expansion, if the value of the macro named
    by string1 is an empty string, the final result shall be an
    empty string. If the macro named by string1 does not exist, it
    is unspecified whether the final result is an empty string or
    make treats it as an error. The application should ensure that
    all macros used by make exist (and are explicitly set to an
    empty string if expected to expand to an empty string).
