| Summary | 0000569: Two omissions in the getdelim() description | ||||
| Description | The getdelim() description omits any mention that it updates *n to the new size when it increases the size of *lineptr. Also, it doesn't say that if *lineptr is null, getdelim() allocates a buffer and sets *lineptr to point to it, and sets *n to its size. It is clear from the example code that both of these are expected behaviours. The proposed changes also correct a use of "line" where the delimiter need not be newline, and a use of "characters" in the RETURN VALUE section that should be "bytes". | ||||
| Desired Action | Change: The size of the object pointed to by *lineptr shall be increased to fit the incoming line, if it isn't already large enough, including room for the delimiter and a terminating NUL. The characters read, including any delimiter, shall be stored in the string pointed to by the lineptr argument, and a terminating NUL added when the delimiter or end of file is encountered. to: If *lineptr is a null pointer or if the object pointed to by *lineptr is of insufficient size, an object shall be allocated as if by malloc() or the object shall be reallocated as if by realloc(), respectively, such that the object is large enough to hold the characters to be written to it, including the terminating NUL, and *n shall be set to the new size. If the object was allocated, or if the reallocation operation moved the object, *lineptr shall be updated to point to the new object or new location. The characters read, including any delimiter, shall be stored in the object, and a terminating NUL added when the delimiter or end of file is encountered. At line 33751 change: shall return the number of characters written to: shall return the number of bytes written | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- We believe that the changes described here already match existing practice and describe what was originally intended. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Make the changes suggested in the Desired Action. |
