Paul Eggert ee768a30fe Modernize and fix doc’s “Date and Time” (BZ 31876)
POSIX.1-2024 (now official) specifies tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
This is a good time to update the manual’s “Date and Time”
chapter so I went through it, fixed some outdated
stuff that had been in there for decades, and improved it to match
POSIX.1-2024 better and to clarify some implementation-defined
behavior.  Glibc already conforms to POSIX.1-2024 in these matters, so
this is merely a documentation change.

* manual/examples/strftim.c: Use snprintf instead of now-deprecated
  function asctime.  Check for localtime failure.  Simplify by using
  puts instead of fputs.  Prefer ‘buf, sizeof buf’ to less-obvious
  ‘buffer, SIZE’.

* manual/examples/timespec_subtract.c: Modernize to use struct
  timespec not struct timeval, and rename from timeval_subtract.c.
  All uses changed.  Check for overflow.  Do not check for negative
  return value, which ought to be OK since negative time_t is OK.
  Use GNU indenting style.

* manual/time.texi:

  Document CLOCKS_PER_SEC, TIME_UTC, timespec_get, timespec_getres,
  strftime_l.

  Document the storage lifetime of tm_zone and of tzname.

  Caution against use of tzname, timezone and daylight, saying that
  these variables have unspecified values when TZ is geographic.
  This is what glibc actually does (contrary to what the manual said
  before this patch), and POSIX is planned to say the same thing
  <https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1816>.
  Also say that directly accessing the variables is not thread-safe.

  Say that localtime_r and ctime_r don’t necessarily set time zone
  state.  Similarly, in the tzset documentation, say that it is called
  by ctime, localtime, mktime, strftime, not that it is called by all
  time conversion functions that depend on the time zone.

  Say that tm_isdst is useful mostly just for mktime, and that
  other uses should prefer tm_gmtoff and tm_zone instead.

  Do not say that strftime ignores tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, because
  it doesn’t do that.

  Document what gmtime does to tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.

  Say that the asctime, asctime_r, ctime, and ctime_r are now deprecated
  and/or obsolescent, and that behavior is undefined if the year is <
  1000 or > 9999.  Document strftime before these now-obsolescent
  functions, so that readers see the useful function first.

  Coin the terms “geographical format” and “proleptic format” for the
  two main formats of TZ settings, to simplify exposition.  Use this
  wording consistently.

  Update top-level proleptic syntax to match POSIX.1-2024, which glibc
  already implements.  Document the angle-bracket quoted forms of time
  zone abbreviations in proleptic TZ.  Say that time zone abbreviations
  can contain only ASCII alphanumerics, ‘+’, and ‘-’.

  Document what happens if the proleptic form specifies a DST
  abbreviation and offset but omits the rules.  POSIX says this is
  implementation-defined so we need to document it.  Although this
  documentation mentions ‘posixrules’ tersely, we need to rethink
  ‘posixrules’ since I think it stops working after 2038.

  Clarify wording about TZ settings beginning with ‘;’.

  Say that timegm is in ISO C (as of C23).

  Say that POSIX.1-2024 removed gettimeofday.

  Say that tm_gmtoff and tm_zone are extensions to ISO C, which is
  clearer than saying they are invisible in a struct ISO C enviroment,
  and gives us more wiggle room if we want to make them visible in
  strict ISO C, something that ISO C allows.

  Drop mention of old standards like POSIX.1c and POSIX.2-1992 in the
  text when the history is so old that it’s no longer useful in a
  general-purpose manual.

  Define Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), time zone, time zone ruleset,
  and POSIX Epoch, and use these phrases more consistently.

  Improve TZ examples to show more variety, and to reflect current
  practice and timestamps.  Remove obsolete example about Argentina.
  Add an example for Ireland.

  Don’t rely on GCC extensions when explaining ctime_r.

  Do not say that difftime produces the mathematically correct result,
  since it might be inexact.

  For clock_t don’t say “as in the example above” when there is no
  such example, and don’t say that casting to double works “properly
  and consistently no matter what”, as it suffers from rounding and
  overflow.

  Don’t say broken-down time is not useful for calculations; it’s
  merely painful.

  Say that UTC is not defined before 1960.

  Rename Time Zone Functions to Time Zone State.  All uses changed.

  Update Internet RFC 822 → 5322, 1305 → 5905.  Drop specific years of
  ISO 8601 as they don’t matter.

  Minor style changes: @code{"..."} → @t{"..."} to avoid overquoting in
  info files, @code → @env for environment variables, Daylight Saving
  Time → daylight saving time, white space → whitespace, prime meridian
  → Prime Meridian.

Paul Eggert 400bdb5c85 Improve doc for time_t range (BZ 31808) 2024-06-04 09:04:04 -07:00
Paul Eggert cafef3eb21 difftime can throw exceptions
difftime can signal an inexact conversion when converting to double,
so it should not be marked as pure or nothrow (BZ 31808).

Although we could do something more complicated, in which difftime is
plain on modern platforms but const and nothrow on obsolescent
platforms with 32-bit time_t, it hardly seems worth the trouble.
difftime is used so rarely that it's not worth taking pains to
optimize calls to it on obsolescent platforms.

Correct the statement about lfind’s mean runtime:
it is proportional to a number (not that number),
and this is true only if random elements are searched for.
Relax the constraint on bsearch’s array argument:
POSIX says it need not be sorted, only partially sorted.
Say that the first arg passed to bsearch’s comparison function
is the key, and the second arg is an array element, as
POSIX requires.  For bsearch and qsort, say that the
comparison function should not alter the array, as POSIX
requires.  For qsort, say that the comparison function
must define a total order, as POSIX requires, that
it should not depend on element addresses, that
the original array index can be used for stable sorts,
and that if qsort still works if memory allocation fails.
Be more consistent in calling the array elements
“elements” rather than “objects”.

Paul Eggert 83859e1115 mktime: improve heuristic for ca-1986 Indiana DST
This patch syncs mktime.c from Gnulib, fixing a
problem reported by Mark Krenz <https://bugs.gnu.org/48085>,
and it should fix BZ#29035 too.
* time/mktime.c (__mktime_internal): Be more generous about
accepting arguments with the wrong value of tm_isdst, by falling
back to a one-hour DST difference if we find no nearby DST that is
unusual.  This fixes a problem where "1986-04-28 00:00 EDT" was
rejected when TZ="America/Indianapolis" because the nearest DST
timestamp occurred in 1970, a temporal distance too great for the
old heuristic.  This also also narrows the search a bit, which
is a minor performance win.

Paul Eggert 634b5ebac6 Update copyright dates not handled by scripts/update-copyrights.
I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2022.  This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.  As well as the usual annual
updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus csu/version.c which
previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated
by update-copyrights), there is a small change to the copyright notice
in NEWS which should let NEWS get updated automatically next year.

Please remember to include 2022 in the dates for any new files added
in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you

Paul Eggert 0b5ca7c3e5 regex: copy back from Gnulib
Copy regex-related files back from Gnulib, to fix a problem with
static checking of regex calls noted by Martin Sebor.  This merges the
following changes:

* New macro __attribute_nonnull__ in misc/sys/cdefs.h, for use later
when copying other files back from Gnulib.

* Use __GNULIB_CDEFS instead of __GLIBC__ when deciding
whether to include bits/wordsize.h etc.

* Avoid duplicate entries in epsilon closure table.

* New regex.h macro _REGEX_NELTS to let regexec say that its pmatch
arg should contain nmatch elts.  Use that for regexec, instead of
__attr_access (which is incorrect).

* New regex.h macro _Attr_access_ which is like __attr_access except
portable to non-glibc platforms.

* Add some DEBUG_ASSERTs to pacify gcc -fanalyzer and to catch
recently-fixed performance bugs if they recur.

* Add Gnulib-specific stuff to port the dynarray- and lock-using parts
of regex code to non-glibc platforms.

* Fix glibc bug 11053.

* Avoid some undefined behavior when popping an empty fail stack.

(__gmtime_r, __localtime_r, __mktime_internal) [!_LIBC]:

(__mktime_internal): New prototype, moved here from include/time.h.

* time/timegm.c (__timegm64):

* time/mktime.c: Stop worrying about whether time_t is floating-point.

Paul Eggert 9b7f98b345 regex: improve Gnulib port to AIX
From the glibc point of view, this removes duplicate macro
definitions and is obviously safe.
From the Gnulib point of view, this pacifies xlc 12.01 on AIX 7.1.
* posix/regex_internal.h:
(__attribute__, __attribute_warn_unused_result__):
Remove; already defined elsewhere.

Paul Eggert c0feb731d5 regex: simplify Gnulib port
This simplifies the code, by removing stuff intended for porting
to Gnulib but no longer needed there.
* posix/regcomp.c [!_LIBC]: No need to put #ifdef _LIBC around
uses of libc_hidden_def, weak_alias.
* posix/regcomp.c, posix/regexec.c: Use __restrict rather than
_Restrict_ except for public-facing headers.
* posix/regex_internal.h (attribute_hidden) [!_LIBC]:
Remove; already defined elsewhere.
* posix/regex.c, posix/regex_internal.h:
Use __GNUC_PREREQ instead of rolling our own.
* posix/regex_internal.h (__GNUC_PREREQ): Remove duplicate defn.

Paul Eggert 5d8af1566b mktime: DEBUG_MKTIME cleanup
The DEBUG_MKTIME code no longer works in glibc or in Gnulib.
And it’s no longer needed now that glibc and Gnulib both have
their own testing mechanisms for mktime.
* time/mktime.c (DEBUG_MKTIME): Remove.  All uses removed.

Paul Eggert 86aece3bfb mktime: fix non-EOVERFLOW errno handling
[BZ#23789]
mktime was not properly reporting failures when the underlying
localtime_r fails with errno != EOVERFLOW; it incorrectly treated
them like EOVERFLOW failures, and set errno to EOVERFLOW.
The problem could happen on non-glibc platforms, with Gnulib.
* time/mktime.c (guess_time_tm): Remove, replacing with ...
(tm_diff): ... this simpler function, which does not change errno.
All callers changed to deal with errno themselves.
(ranged_convert, __mktime_internal): Return failure immediately if
the underlying function reports any failure other than EOVERFLOW.
(__mktime_internal): Set errno to EOVERFLOW if the spring-forward
gap code fails.

Paul Eggert f6b3331bba mktime: fix bug with Y2038 DST transition
[BZ#23789]
* time/mktime.c (ranged_convert): On 32-bit platforms, don’t
mishandle a DST transition that jumps over the Y2038 boundary.
No such DST transitions are known so this is only a theoretical
bug, but we might as well do things right.

Paul Eggert efbdddc381 mktime: make more room for overflow
[BZ#23789]
* time/mktime.c (long_int): Now 4⨯ int, not just 3⨯.
This is so that we can add tm_diff results to a previous guess,
which will be useful in a later patch.
