1.1 Gnulib Basics

While portability across operating systems is not one of GNU’s primary goals, it has helped introduce many people to the GNU system, and is worthwhile when it can be achieved at a low cost. This collection helps lower that cost.

Gnulib is intended to be the canonical source for most of the important “portability” and/or common files for GNU projects. These are files intended to be shared at the source level; Gnulib is not a typical library meant to be installed and linked against. Thus, unlike most projects, Gnulib does not normally generate a source tarball distribution; instead, developers grab modules directly from the source repository.

The easiest, and recommended, way to do this is to use the gnulib-tool script. Since there is no installation procedure for Gnulib, gnulib-tool needs to be run directly in the directory that contains the Gnulib source code. You can do this either by specifying the absolute filename of gnulib-tool, or by using a symbolic link from a place inside your PATH to the gnulib-tool file of your preferred Gnulib checkout. For example: 

$ ln -s $HOME/gnu/src/gnulib.git/gnulib-tool $HOME/bin/gnulib-tool

Next: , Previous: , Up: Brief Overview   [Contents][Index]

1.2 Git Checkout

Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout. In any Bourne-shell the following should work: 

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git

For a read-write checkout you need to have a login on ‘savannah.gnu.org’ and be a member of the Gnulib project at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib. Then, instead of the URL https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git, use the URL ‘ssh://user@git.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/gnulib’ where user is your login name on savannah.gnu.org.

git resources:

Overview:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)

Homepage:

https://git-scm.com/

When you use git annotate or git blame with Gnulib, it’s recommended that you use the -w option, in order to ignore massive whitespace changes that happened in 2009.

1.3 Keeping Up-to-date

The best way to work with Gnulib is to check it out of git. To synchronize, you can use git pull.

Subscribing to the bug-gnulib@gnu.org mailing list will help you to plan when to update your local copy of Gnulib (which you use to maintain your software) from git. You can review the archives, subscribe, etc., via https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib.

Sometimes, using an updated version of Gnulib will require you to use newer versions of GNU Automake or Autoconf. You may find it helpful to join the autotools-announce mailing list to be advised of such changes.

1.4 Contributing to Gnulib

All software here is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation—you need to have filled out an assignment form for a project that uses the module for that contribution to be accepted here.

If you have a piece of code that you would like to contribute, please email bug-gnulib@gnu.org.

Generally we are looking for files that fulfill at least one of the following requirements:

If your functions define completely new but rarely used functionality, you should probably consider packaging it as a separate library.

1.4.1 Gnulib licensing

Gnulib contains code both under GPL and LGPL. Because several packages that use Gnulib are GPL, the files state they are licensed under GPL. However, to support LGPL projects as well, you may use some of the files under LGPL. The “License:” information in the files under modules/ clarifies the real license that applies to the module source.

Keep in mind that if you submit patches to files in Gnulib, you should license them under a compatible license, which means that sometimes the contribution will have to be LGPL, if the original file is available under LGPL via a “License: LGPL” information in the projects’ modules/ file.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Contributing to Gnulib   [Contents][Index]

1.4.2 Indent with spaces not TABs

We use space-only indentation in nearly all files. This includes all *.h, *.c, *.y files, except for the regex module. Makefile and ChangeLog files are excluded, since TAB characters are part of their format.

In order to tell your editor to produce space-only indentation, you can use these instructions.

1.4.3 How to add a new module

You can test that a module builds correctly with: 

$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir module1 ... moduleN
$ cd /tmp/testdir
$ ./configure && make

1.5 Portability guidelines

Gnulib code is intended to be portable to a wide variety of platforms, not just GNU platforms. Gnulib typically attempts to support a platform as long as it is still supported by its provider, even if the platform is not the latest version. See Target Platforms.

Many Gnulib modules exist so that applications need not worry about undesirable variability in implementations. For example, an application that uses the malloc module need not worry about malloc (0) returning NULL on some Standard C platforms; and glob users need not worry about glob silently omitting symbolic links to nonexistent files on some platforms that do not conform to POSIX.

Gnulib code is intended to port without problem to new hosts, e.g., hosts conforming to recent C and POSIX standards. Hence Gnulib code should avoid using constructs that these newer standards no longer require, without first testing for the presence of these constructs. For example, because C11 made variable length arrays optional, Gnulib code should avoid them unless it first uses the vararrays module to check whether they are supported.

The following subsections discuss some exceptions and caveats to the general Gnulib portability guidelines.

• C language versions:  
• C99 features assumed:  
• C99 features avoided:  
• Other portability assumptions:  

Next: , Up: Portability guidelines   [Contents][Index]

1.5.1 C language versions

Currently Gnulib assumes at least a freestanding C99 compiler, possibly operating with a C library that predates C99; with time this assumption will likely be strengthened to later versions of the C standard. Old platforms currently supported include AIX 6.1, HP-UX 11i v1 and Solaris 10, though these platforms are rarely tested. Gnulib itself is so old that it contains many fixes for obsolete platforms, fixes that may be removed in the future.

Because of the freestanding C99 assumption, Gnulib code can include <float.h>, <limits.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>, and <stdint.h> unconditionally; <stdbool.h> is also in the C99 freestanding list but is obsolescent as of C23. Gnulib code can also assume the existence of <ctype.h>, <errno.h>, <fcntl.h>, <locale.h>, <signal.h>, <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, and <time.h>. Similarly, many modules include <sys/types.h> even though it’s not even in C11; that’s OK since <sys/types.h> has been around nearly forever.

Even if the include files exist, they may not conform to the C standard. However, GCC has a fixincludes script that attempts to fix most C89-conformance problems. Gnulib currently assumes include files largely conform to C89 or better. People still using ancient hosts should use fixincludes or fix their include files manually.

Even if the include files conform, the library itself may not. For example, strtod and mktime have some bugs on some platforms. You can work around some of these problems by requiring the relevant modules, e.g., the Gnulib mktime module supplies a working and conforming mktime.

1.5.2 C99 features assumed by Gnulib

Although the C99 standard specifies many features, Gnulib code is conservative about using them, partly because Gnulib predates the widespread adoption of C99, and partly because many C99 features are not well-supported in practice. C99 features that are reasonably portable nowadays include:

Next: , Previous: , Up: Portability guidelines   [Contents][Index]

1.5.3 C99 features avoided by Gnulib

Gnulib avoids some features even though they are standardized by C99, as they have portability problems in practice. Here is a partial list of avoided C99 features. Many other C99 features are portable only if their corresponding modules are used; Gnulib code that uses such a feature should require the corresponding module.

Previous: , Up: Portability guidelines   [Contents][Index]

1.5.4 Other portability assumptions made by Gnulib

The GNU coding standards allow one departure from strict C: Gnulib code can assume that standard internal types like ptrdiff_t and size_t are no wider than long. POSIX requires implementations to support at least one programming environment where this is true, and such environments are recommended for Gnulib-using applications. When it is easy to port to non-POSIX platforms like MinGW where these types are wider than long, new Gnulib code should do so, e.g., by using ptrdiff_t instead of long. However, it is not always that easy, and no effort has been made to check that all Gnulib modules work on MinGW-like environments.

Gnulib code makes the following additional assumptions:

Some system platforms violate these assumptions and are therefore not Gnulib porting targets. See Unsupported Platforms.

1.6 High Quality

We develop and maintain a testsuite for Gnulib. The goal is to have a 100% firm interface so that maintainers can feel free to update to the code in git at any time and know that their application will not break. This means that before any change can be committed to the repository, a test suite program must be produced that exposes the bug for regression testing.

• Stable Branches:  
• Writing reliable code:  

Next: , Up: High Quality   [Contents][Index]

1.6.1 Stable Branches

In Gnulib, we don’t use topic branches for experimental work. Therefore, occasionally a broken commit may be pushed in Gnulib. It does not happen often, but it does happen.

To compensate for this, Gnulib offers “stable branches”. These are branches of the Gnulib code that are maintained over some longer period (a year, for example) and include

Not included in the stable branches are:

So far, we have four stable branches:

stable-202307

A stable branch that starts at the beginning of July 2023.

stable-202301

A stable branch that starts at the beginning of January 2023.

stable-202207

A stable branch that starts at the beginning of July 2022. It is no longer updated.

stable-202201

A stable branch that starts at the beginning of January 2022. It is no longer updated.

The two use-cases of stable branches are thus:

Previous: , Up: High Quality   [Contents][Index]

1.6.2 Writing reliable code

When compiling and testing Gnulib and Gnulib-using programs, certain compiler options can help improve reliability. First of all, make it a habit to use ‘-Wall’ in all compilation commands. Beyond that, the manywarnings module enables several forms of static checking in GCC and related compilers (see manywarnings).

For dynamic checking, you can run configure with CFLAGS options appropriate for your compiler. For example: 

./configure \
 CPPFLAGS='-Wall'\
 CFLAGS='-g3 -O2'\
' -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2'\
' -fsanitize=undefined'\
' -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error'

Here:

Without the -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error option, -fsanitize=undefined causes messages to be printed, and execution continues after an undefined behavior situation. The message printing causes GCC-like compilers to arrange for the program to dynamically link to libraries it might not otherwise need. With GCC, instead of -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error you can use the -static-libubsan option to arrange for two of the extra libraries (libstdc++ and libubsan) to be linked statically rather than dynamically, though this typically bloats the executable and the remaining extra libraries are still linked dynamically.

It is also good to occasionally run the programs under valgrind (see Running self-tests under valgrind).

2 Philosophy

Gnulib’s design and development philosophy is organized around steady, collaborative, and open development of reusable modules that are suitable for a reasonably wide variety of platforms.

• Target Platforms:

2.1 Benefits of using Gnulib

Gnulib is useful to enhance various aspects of a package:

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.2 Library vs. Reusable Code

Classical libraries are installed as binary object code. Gnulib is different: It is used as a source code library. Each package that uses Gnulib thus ships with part of the Gnulib source code. The used portion of Gnulib is tailored to the package: A build tool, called gnulib-tool, is provided that copies a tailored subset of Gnulib into the package.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.3 Portability and Application Code

One of the goals of Gnulib is to make portable programming easy, on the basis of the standards relevant for GNU (and Unix). The objective behind that is to avoid a fragmentation of the user community into disjoint user communities according to the operating system, and instead allow synergies between users on different operating systems.

Another goal of Gnulib is to provide application code that can be shared between several applications. Some people wonder: "What? glibc doesn’t have a function to copy a file?" Indeed, the scope of a system’s libc is to implement the relevant standards (ISO C, POSIX) and to provide access functions to the kernel’s system calls, and little more.

There is no clear borderline between both areas.

For example, Gnulib has a facility for generating the name of backup files. While this task is entirely at the application level—no standard specifies an API for it—the naïve code has some portability problems because on some platforms the length of file name components is limited to 30 characters or so. Gnulib handles that.

Similarly, Gnulib has a facility for executing a command in a subprocess. It is at the same time a portability enhancement (it works on GNU, Unix, and Windows, compared to the classical fork/exec idiom which is not portable to Windows), as well as an application aid: it takes care of redirecting stdin and/or stdout if desired, and emits an error message if the subprocess failed.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.4 Target Platforms

Gnulib supports a number of platforms that we call the “reasonable portability targets”. This class consists of widespread operating systems, for three years after their last availability, or—for proprietary operating systems—as long as the vendor provides commercial support for it. Already existing Gnulib code for older operating systems is usually left in place for longer than these three years. So it comes that programs that use Gnulib run pretty well also on these older operating systems.

Some operating systems are not very widespread, but are Free Software and are actively developed. Such platforms are also supported by Gnulib, if that OS’s developers community keeps in touch with the Gnulib developers, by providing bug reports, analyses, or patches. For such platforms, Gnulib supports only the versions of the last year or the last few months, depending on the maturity of said OS project, the number of its users, and how often these users upgrade.

Niche operating systems are generally unsupported by Gnulib, unless some of their developers or users contribute support to Gnulib.

The degree of support Gnulib guarantees for a platform depends on the amount of testing it gets from volunteers. Platforms on which Gnulib is frequently tested are the best supported. Then come platforms with occasional testing, then platforms which are rarely tested. Usually, we fix bugs when they are reported. Except that some rarely tested platforms are also low priority; bug fixes for these platforms can take longer.

• Supported Platforms:  
• Formerly Supported Platforms:  
• Unsupported Platforms:  

Next: , Up: Target Platforms   [Contents][Index]

2.4.1 Supported Platforms

As of 2023, the list of supported platforms is the following:

Next: , Previous: , Up: Target Platforms   [Contents][Index]

2.4.2 Formerly Supported Platforms

The following platforms were supported in the past, but are no longer supported:

Gnulib supports these operating systems only in an unvirtualized environment. When you run an OS inside a virtual machine, you have to be aware that the virtual machine can bring in bugs of its own. For example, floating-point operations on Solaris can behave slightly differently in QEMU than on real hardware. And Haiku’s bash program misbehaves in VirtualBox 3, whereas it behaves fine in VirtualBox 4.

Similarly, running native Windows binaries on GNU/Linux under WINE is rarely tested and low priority: WINE has a set of behaviours and bugs that is slightly different from native Windows.

Previous: , Up: Target Platforms   [Contents][Index]

2.4.3 Unsupported Platforms

Some platforms with C compilers are not supported by Gnulib because the platforms violate Gnulib’s C portability assumptions. See Other portability assumptions.

These assumptions are not required by the C or POSIX standards but hold on almost all practical porting targets. If you need to port Gnulib code to a platform where these assumptions are not true, we would appreciate hearing of any fixes. We need fixes that do not increase runtime overhead on standard hosts and that are relatively easy to maintain.

These platforms are listed below to illustrate problems that Gnulib and Gnulib-using code would have if it were intended to be portable to all practical POSIX or C platforms.

The following platforms are not supported by Gnulib. The cost of supporting them would exceed the benefit because they are rarely used, or poorly documented, or have been supplanted by other platforms, or diverge too much from POSIX, or some combination of these and other factors. Please don’t bother sending us patches for them.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.5 Modules

Gnulib is divided into modules. Every module implements a single facility. Modules can depend on other modules.

A module consists of a number of files and a module description. The files are copied by gnulib-tool into the package that will use it, usually verbatim, without changes. Source code files (.h, .c files) reside in the lib/ subdirectory. Autoconf macro files reside in the m4/ subdirectory. Build scripts reside in the build-aux/ subdirectory.

The module description contains the list of files; gnulib-tool copies these files. It contains the module’s dependencies; gnulib-tool installs them as well. It also contains the autoconf macro invocation (usually a single line or nothing at all); gnulib-tool ensures this is invoked from the package’s configure.ac file. And also a Makefile.am snippet; gnulib-tool collects these into a Makefile.am for the tailored Gnulib part. The module description and include file specification are for documentation purposes; they are combined into MODULES.html.

The module system serves two purposes:

  1. It ensures consistency of the used autoconf macros and Makefile.am rules with the source code. For example, source code which uses the getopt_long function—this is a common way to implement parsing of command line options in a way that complies with the GNU standards—needs the source code (lib/getopt.c and others), the autoconf macro which detects whether the system’s libc already has this function (in m4/getopt.m4), and a few Makefile.am lines that create the substitute getopt.h if not. These three pieces belong together. They cannot be used without each other. The module description and gnulib-tool ensure that they are copied altogether into the destination package.
  2. It allows for scalability. It is well-known since the inception of the MODULA-2 language around 1978 that dissection into modules with dependencies allows for building large sets of code in a maintainable way. The maintainability comes from the facts that:

    In other words, the module is the elementary unit of code in Gnulib, comparable to a class in object-oriented languages like Java or C#.

The module system is the basis of gnulib-tool. When gnulib-tool copies a part of Gnulib into a package, it first compiles a module list, starting with the requested modules and adding all the dependencies, and then collects the files, configure.ac snippets and Makefile.am snippets.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.6 Various Kinds of Modules

There are modules of various kinds in Gnulib. For a complete list of the modules, see in MODULES.html.

2.6.1 Support for ISO C or POSIX functions.

When a function is not implemented by a system, the Gnulib module provides an implementation under the same name. Examples are the ‘snprintf’ and ‘readlink’ modules.

Similarly, when a function is not correctly implemented by a system, Gnulib provides a replacement. For functions, we use the pattern 

#if !HAVE_WORKING_FOO
# define foo rpl_foo
#endif

and implement the foo function under the name rpl_foo. This renaming is needed to avoid conflicts at compile time (in case the system header files declare foo) and at link/run time (because the code making use of foo could end up residing in a shared library, and the executable program using this library could be defining foo itself).

For header files, such as stdint.h, we provide the substitute only if the system doesn’t provide a correct one. The template of this replacement is distributed in a slightly different name, with ‘.in’ inserted before the ‘.h’ extension, so that on systems which do provide a correct header file the system’s one is used.

The modules in this category are supported in C++ mode as well. This means, while the autoconfiguration uses the C compiler, the resulting header files and function substitutes can be used with a matching C++ compiler as well.

2.6.2 Enhancements of ISO C or POSIX functions

These are sometimes POSIX functions with GNU extensions also found in glibc—examples: ‘getopt’, ‘fnmatch’—and often new APIs—for example, for all functions that allocate memory in one way or the other, we have variants which also include the error checking against the out-of-memory condition.

2.6.3 Portable general use facilities

Examples are a module for copying a file—the portability problems relate to the copying of the file’s modification time, access rights, and extended attributes—or a module for extracting the tail component of a file name—here the portability to native Windows requires a different API than the classical POSIX basename function.

2.6.4 Reusable application code

Examples are an error reporting function, a module that allows output of numbers with K/M/G suffixes, or cryptographic facilities.

2.6.5 Object oriented classes

Examples are data structures like ‘list’, or abstract output stream classes that work around the fact that an application cannot implement an stdio FILE with its logic. Here, while staying in C, we use implementation techniques like tables of function pointers, known from the C++ language or from the Linux kernel.

2.6.6 Interfaces to external libraries

Examples are the ‘iconv’ module, which interfaces to the iconv facility, regardless whether it is contained in libc or in an external libiconv. Or the ‘readline’ module, which interfaces to the GNU readline library.

2.6.7 Build / maintenance infrastructure

An example is the ‘maintainer-makefile’ module, which provides extra Makefile tags for maintaining a package.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.7 Collaborative Development

Gnulib is maintained collaboratively. The mailing list is <bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>. Be warned that some people on the list may be very active at some times and unresponsive at other times.

Every module has one or more maintainers. While issues are discussed collaboratively on the list, the maintainer of a module nevertheless has a veto right regarding changes in his module.

All patches should be posted to the list, regardless whether they are proposed patches or whether they are committed immediately by the maintainer of the particular module. The purpose is not only to inform the other users of the module, but mainly to allow peer review. It is not uncommon that several people contribute comments or spot bugs after a patch was proposed.

Conversely, if you are using Gnulib, and a patch is posted that affects one of the modules that your package uses, you have an interest in proofreading the patch.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.8 Copyright

Most modules are under the GPL. Some, mostly modules which can reasonably be used in libraries, are under LGPL. Few modules are under other licenses, such as LGPLv2+, unlimited, or public domain.

If the module description file says "GPL", it means "GPLv3+" (GPLv3 or newer, at the licensee’s choice); if it says "LGPL", it means "LGPLv3+" (LGPLv3 or newer, at the licensee’s choice).

The source files, more precisely the files in lib/ and build-aux/, are under a license compatible with the module’s license. Most often, they are under the same license. But files can be shared among several modules, and in these cases it can happen that a source file is under a weaker license than noted in the module description – namely under the weakest license among the licenses of the modules that contain the file.

Different licenses apply to files in special directories:

modules/

Module description files are under this copyright:

Copyright © 20XX–20YY Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, in any medium, are permitted without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved.

m4/

Autoconf macro files are under this copyright:

Copyright © 20XX–20YY Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.

tests/

If a license statement is not present in a test module, the test files are under GPL. Even if the corresponding source module is under LGPL, this is not a problem, since compiled tests are not installed by “make install”.

doc/

Documentation files are under this copyright:

Copyright © 2004–20YY Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.en.html.

If you want to use some Gnulib modules under LGPL, you can do so by passing the option ‘--lgpl’ to gnulib-tool. This will ensure that all imported modules can be used under the LGPL license. Similarly, if you want some Gnulib modules under LGPLv2+ (Lesser GPL version 2.1 or newer), you can do so by passing the option ‘--lgpl=2’ to gnulib-tool.

Keep in mind that when you submit patches to files in Gnulib, you should license them under a compatible license. This means that sometimes the contribution will have to be LGPL, if the original file is available under LGPL. You can find out about it by looking at the license header of the file.

2.9 Steady Development

Gnulib modules are continually adapted, to match new practices, to be consistent with newly added modules, or simply as a response to build failure reports.

If you are willing to report an occasional regression, we recommend to use the newest version from git always, except in periods of major changes. Most Gnulib users do this.

Previous: , Up: Philosophy   [Contents][Index]

2.10 Openness

Gnulib is open in the sense that we gladly accept contributions if they are generally useful, well engineered, and if the contributors have signed the obligatory papers with the FSF.

The module system is open in the sense that a package using Gnulib can

  1. locally patch or override files in Gnulib,
  2. locally add modules that are treated like Gnulib modules by gnulib-tool.

This is achieved by the ‘--local-dir’ option of gnulib-tool (see Extending Gnulib).

Next: , Previous: , Up: Top   [Contents][Index]

3 Invoking gnulib-tool

The gnulib-tool command is the recommended way to import Gnulib modules. It is possible to borrow Gnulib modules in a package without using gnulib-tool, relying only on the meta-information stored in the modules/* files, but with a growing number of modules this becomes tedious. gnulib-tool simplifies the management of source files, Makefile.ams and configure.ac in packages incorporating Gnulib modules.

gnulib-tool is not installed in a standard directory that is contained in the PATH variable. It needs to be run directly in the directory that contains the Gnulib source code. You can do this either by specifying the absolute filename of gnulib-tool, or you can also use a symbolic link from a place inside your PATH to the gnulib-tool file of your preferred and most up-to-date Gnulib checkout, like this: 

$ ln -s $HOME/gnu/src/gnulib.git/gnulib-tool $HOME/bin/gnulib-tool

Run ‘gnulib-tool --help’ for information. To get familiar with gnulib-tool without affecting your sources, you can also try some commands with the option ‘--dry-run’; then gnulib-tool will only report which actions it would perform in a real run without changing anything.

3.1 Finding modules

There are four ways of finding the names of Gnulib modules that you can use in your package:

Next: , Previous: , Up: Invoking gnulib-tool   [Contents][Index]

3.2 Initial import

Gnulib assumes that your project uses Autoconf. When using Gnulib, you will need to have Autoconf among your build tools.

Gnulib also assumes that your project’s configure.ac contains the line 

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])

The config.h file gets generated with platform dependent C macro definitions, and the source files include it (see Source changes).

Unless you use gnulib-tool’s --gnu-make option, Gnulib also assumes that your project uses Automake at least in a subdirectory of your project. While the use of Automake in your project’s top level directory is an easy way to fulfil the Makefile conventions of the GNU coding standards, Gnulib does not require it.

Invoking ‘gnulib-tool --import’ will copy source files, create a Makefile.am to build them, generate a file gnulib-comp.m4 with Autoconf M4 macro declarations used by configure.ac, and generate a file gnulib-cache.m4 containing the cached specification of how Gnulib is used.

Our example will be a library that uses Autoconf, Automake and Libtool. It calls strdup, and you wish to use gnulib to make the package portable to C99 and C11 (which don’t have strdup). 

~/src/libfoo$ gnulib-tool --import strdup
Module list with included dependencies:
  absolute-header
  extensions
  strdup
  string
File list:
  lib/dummy.c
  lib/strdup.c
  lib/string.in.h
  m4/absolute-header.m4
  m4/extensions.m4
  m4/gnulib-common.m4
  m4/strdup.m4
  m4/string_h.m4
Creating directory ./lib
Creating directory ./m4
Copying file lib/dummy.c

Copying file m4/strdup.m4
Copying file m4/string_h.m4
Creating lib/Makefile.am
Creating m4/gnulib-cache.m4
Creating m4/gnulib-comp.m4
Finished.

You may need to add #include directives for the following .h files.
  #include <string.h>

Don't forget to
  - add "lib/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac,
  - mention "lib" in SUBDIRS in Makefile.am,
  - mention "-I m4" in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am,
  - invoke gl_EARLY in ./configure.ac, right after AC_PROG_CC,
  - invoke gl_INIT in ./configure.ac.
~/src/libfoo$

By default, the source code is copied into lib/ and the M4 macros in m4/. You can override these paths by using --source-base=DIRECTORY and --m4-base=DIRECTORY. Some modules also provide other files necessary for building. These files are copied into the directory specified by ‘AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR’ in configure.ac or by the --aux-dir=DIRECTORY option. If neither is specified, the current directory is assumed.

gnulib-tool can make symbolic links instead of copying the source files. The option to specify for this is ‘--symlink’, or ‘-s’ for short. This can be useful to save a few kilobytes of disk space. But it is likely to introduce bugs when gnulib is updated; it is more reliable to use ‘gnulib-tool --update’ (see below) to update to newer versions of gnulib. Furthermore it requires extra effort to create self-contained tarballs, and it may disturb some mechanism the maintainer applies to the sources. For these reasons, this option is generally discouraged.

gnulib-tool will overwrite any preexisting files, in particular Makefile.am. It is also possible to separate the generated Makefile.am content (for building the gnulib library) into a separate file, say gnulib.mk, that can be included by your handwritten Makefile.am, but this is a more advanced use of gnulib-tool.

Consequently, it is a good idea to choose directories that are not already used by your projects, to separate gnulib imported files from your own files. This approach is also useful if you want to avoid conflicts between other tools (e.g., gettextize that also copy M4 files into your package. Simon Josefsson successfully uses a source base of gl/, and a M4 base of gl/m4/, in several packages.

After the ‘--import’ option on the command line comes the list of Gnulib modules that you want to incorporate in your package. The names of the modules coincide with the filenames in Gnulib’s modules/ directory.

Some Gnulib modules depend on other Gnulib modules. gnulib-tool will automatically add the needed modules as well; you need not list them explicitly. gnulib-tool will also memorize which dependent modules it has added, so that when someday a dependency is dropped, the implicitly added module is dropped as well (unless you have explicitly requested that module).

If you want to cut a dependency, i.e., not add a module although one of your requested modules depends on it, you may use the option ‘--avoid=module’ to do so. Multiple uses of this option are possible. Of course, you will then need to implement the same interface as the removed module.

A few manual steps are required to finish the initial import. gnulib-tool printed a summary of these steps.

First, you must ensure Autoconf can find the macro definitions in gnulib-comp.m4. Use the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS specifier in your top-level Makefile.am file, as in: 

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

You are now ready to call the M4 macros in gnulib-comp.m4 from configure.ac. The macro gl_EARLY must be called as soon as possible after verifying that the C compiler is working. Typically, this is immediately after AC_PROG_CC, as in: 

...
AC_PROG_CC
gl_EARLY
...

The core part of the gnulib checks are done by the macro gl_INIT. Place it further down in the file, typically where you normally check for header files or functions. It must come after other checks which may affect the compiler invocation, such as AC_MINIX. For example: 

...
# For gnulib.
gl_INIT
...

gl_INIT will in turn call the macros related with the gnulib functions, be it specific gnulib macros, like gl_FUNC_ALLOCA or Autoconf or Automake macros like AC_FUNC_ALLOCA or AM_FUNC_GETLINE. So there is no need to call those macros yourself when you use the corresponding gnulib modules.

You must also make sure that the gnulib library is built. Add the Makefile in the gnulib source base directory to AC_CONFIG_FILES, as in: 

AC_CONFIG_FILES(... lib/Makefile ...)

You must also make sure that make will recurse into the gnulib directory. To achieve this, add the gnulib source base directory to a SUBDIRS Makefile.am statement, as in: 

SUBDIRS = lib

or if you, more likely, already have a few entries in SUBDIRS, you can add something like: 

SUBDIRS += lib

Finally, you have to add compiler and linker flags in the appropriate source directories, so that you can make use of the gnulib library. Since some modules (‘getopt’, for example) may copy files into the build directory, top_builddir/lib is needed as well as top_srcdir/lib. For example: 

...
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_builddir)/lib -I$(top_srcdir)/lib
...
LDADD = lib/libgnu.a
...

Don’t forget to #include the various header files. In this example, you would need to make sure that ‘#include <string.h>’ is evaluated when compiling all source code files, that want to make use of strdup.

In the usual case where Autoconf is creating a config.h file, you should include config.h first, before any other include file. That way, for example, if config.h defines ‘restrict’ to be the empty string on a non-C99 host, or a macro like ‘_FILE_OFFSET_BITS’ that affects the layout of data structures, the definition is consistent for all include files. Also, on some platforms macros like ‘_FILE_OFFSET_BITS’ and ‘_GNU_SOURCE’ may be ineffective, or may have only a limited effect, if defined after the first system header file is included.

Finally, note that you cannot use AC_LIBOBJ or AC_REPLACE_FUNCS in your configure.ac and expect the resulting object files to be automatically added to lib/libgnu.a. This is because your AC_LIBOBJ and AC_REPLACE_FUNCS invocations from configure.ac augment a variable @LIBOBJS@ (and/or @LTLIBOBJS@ if using Libtool), whereas lib/libgnu.a is built from the contents of a different variable, usually @gl_LIBOBJS@ (or @gl_LTLIBOBJS@ if using Libtool).

3.3 Modified imports

You can at any moment decide to use Gnulib differently than the last time.

There are two ways to change how Gnulib is used. Which one you’ll use, depends on where you keep track of options and module names that you pass to gnulib-tool.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Invoking gnulib-tool   [Contents][Index]

3.4 Simple update

When you want to update to a more recent version of Gnulib, without changing the list of modules or other parameters, a simple call does it: 

$ gnulib-tool --add-import

This will create, update or remove files, as needed.

Note: From time to time, changes are made in Gnulib that are not backward compatible. When updating to a more recent Gnulib, you should consult Gnulib’s NEWS file to check whether the incompatible changes affect your project.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Invoking gnulib-tool   [Contents][Index]

3.5 Changing your sources for use with Gnulib

Gnulib contains some header file overrides. This means that when building on systems with deficient header files in /usr/include/, it may create files named string.h, stdlib.h, stdint.h or similar in the build directory. In the other source directories of your package you will usually pass ‘-I’ options to the compiler, so that these Gnulib substitutes are visible and take precedence over the files in /usr/include/.

These Gnulib substitute header files rely on <config.h> being already included. Furthermore <config.h> must be the first include in every compilation unit. This means that to all your source files and likely also to all your tests source files you need to add an ‘#include <config.h>’ at the top. Which source files are affected? Exactly those whose compilation includes a ‘-I’ option that refers to the Gnulib library directory.

This is annoying, but inevitable: On many systems, <config.h> is used to set system dependent flags (such as _GNU_SOURCE on GNU systems), and these flags have no effect after any system header file has been included.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Invoking gnulib-tool   [Contents][Index]

3.6 Changing your link commands for use with Gnulib

When you use Gnulib, you need to augment the set of libraries against which your programs and libraries are linked. This is done by augmenting the Automake variable LDADD (for all programs) or prog_LDADD (for a single program prog) or library_la_LIBADD (for a single library library.la).

What do you need to add to this Automake variable?

  1. The reference to the Gnulib library. In the example of section Initial import, this would be lib/libgnu.a for source in the top-level directory, or ../lib/libgnu.a for source in a sibling directory of lib/.
  2. References to additional libraries, brought in by some of the Gnulib modules that you use (directly or indirectly). The complete list of such libraries is printed when you invoke gnulib-tool. Alternatively, you can retrieve the set of additional libraries required by a specific Gnulib module by running 
    ./gnulib-tool --extract-recursive-link-directive module

    Beware: By looking into the module description file modules/module or by running 

    ./gnulib-tool --extract-link-directive module

    you would miss the link dependencies of indirectly used modules.

3.7 Finding recommended ISO C and POSIX function substitutes

Gnulib contains a wealth of portability workarounds for ISO C and POSIX functions. They are listed in detail in the chapter Function Substitutes. If you want to know which function substitutes are recommended for your package, you can search your source code for ISO C and POSIX functions that it uses and read the corresponding sections of said documentation chapter. But this is a tedious task. Here is an alternative approach that makes this task easier.

  1. Add the Gnulib module ‘posixcheck’ to the Gnulib imports of your package, as described earlier in this chapter.
  2. Do a make distclean if you previously built in the top-level directory. Then regenerate the Autotools-generated parts of the package.
  3. On a glibc system, build your package. Pay attention to the compiler warnings. Warnings are generated for uses of ISO C and POSIX functions that have portability problems or other important pitfalls and for which you have not yet imported the corresponding Gnulib module. If you get, say, a warning “warning: call to ’close’ declared with attribute warning: close does not portably work on sockets - use gnulib module close for portability”, put ‘close’ on your list of modules to import.
  4. Add the modules you noted to the Gnulib imports of your package.
  5. Optionally, you can do the same steps again, and make sure that there are no warnings left except those that you want to intentionally ignore.
  6. Finally, remove the Gnulib module ‘posixcheck’ from the Gnulib imports, and run make distclean.

3.8 Modifying the build rules of a Gnulib import directory

In some cases, you may want to set additional compiler options for use within the Gnulib import directory. For example, the ‘relocatable’ module operates better if you define the C macros ENABLE_COSTLY_RELOCATABLE and INSTALLDIR during its compilation.

There are two ways to do so: Use of the gnulib-tool option --makefile-name, and a kitchen-sink module.

With the gnulib-tool option --makefile-name, you are telling gnulib-tool to generate an includable Makefile.am portion, rather than a self-contained Makefile.am. For example, when you use --makefile-name=Makefile.gnulib, gnulib-tool will generate Makefile.gnulib, and you will provide a hand-written Makefile.am that includes Makefile.gnulib through a line such as 

include Makefile.gnulib

Before this include, you need to initialize this set of Makefile.am variables:

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS should be initialized as described in Changing Automake’s Behavior in GNU Automake. The other variables can be initialized to empty. However, you will most likely want to initialize some of them with non-empty values, in order to achieve the desired customization.

The other approach, the kitchen-sink module, is more advanced. See chapter Extending Gnulib.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Invoking gnulib-tool   [Contents][Index]

3.9 Building directly from the top-level directory

By default, the Gnulib import directory will contain a generated Makefile.am file. After configuring, this produces a generated Makefile in this directory. As a consequence, the build from the top-level directory will use a recursive make invocation for this directory.

Some people prefer a build system where the Makefile in the top-level directory directly builds the artifacts in the subdirectories, without an intermediate make invocation. This is called “non-recursive make” and is supported by Automake. For more details, see https://autotools.io/automake/nonrecursive.html.

Gnulib supports this flavour of build system too. To use it, pass two options to gnulib-tool: ‘--makefile-name’ and ‘--automake-subdir’.

With the gnulib-tool option ‘--makefile-name’, you are telling gnulib-tool to generate an includable Makefile.am portion in the Gnulib import directory, rather than a self-contained Makefile.am. For example, when you use ‘--makefile-name=Makefile.gnulib’, gnulib-tool will generate Makefile.gnulib.

With the option ‘--automake-subdir’, you are telling gnulib-tool that you will include the generated file from the Makefile.am in the top-level directory, rather than from a Makefile.am in the same directory. For example, the top-level Makefile.am might contain this directive: 

include lib/Makefile.gnulib

The option ‘--automake-subdir’ is also supported in combination with ‘--with-tests’ (see Unit tests). Note that in this case, however, the generated unit tests directory will contains a Makefile.am and thus use a recursive make invocation. This is not a problem, since the built artifacts of your package have no dependencies towards the Gnulib unit tests, nor vice versa.

3.10 Using Gnulib for both a library and a program

Your project might build both a library and some accompanying programs in the same source tree. In that case you might want to use different modules for the library than for the programs. Typically the programs might want to make use of getopt-posix or version-etc, while the library wants to stay clear of these modules for technical or licensing reasons.

Let’s assume that your project contains a lib directory where the source of the library resides and a src directory for the sources of the programs as follows. 

.
|-- configure.ac
|-- lib
|   |-- foo.c
|   `-- Makefile.am
|-- Makefile.am
`-- src
    |-- bar.c
    `-- Makefile.am

You can now add two instances of Gnulib to your project in separate source trees: 

~/src/libfoo$ gnulib-tool --import --lib=libgnu --source-base=gnulib \
              --m4-base=gnulib/m4 --macro-prefix=gl strndup
~/src/libfoo$ gnulib-tool --import --lib=libgnutools \
              --source-base=src/gnulib --m4-base=src/gnulib/m4 \
              --macro-prefix=gl_tools getopt-gnu

The first one will import the module strndup in gnulib and the second one will import getopt-gnu in src/gnulib and you will end up with the following source tree (many files omitted in the interest of brevity): 

.
|-- configure.ac
|-- gnulib
|   |-- m4
|   |-- strndup.c
|-- lib
|   |-- foo.c
|   `-- Makefile.am
|-- Makefile.am
`-- src
    |-- bar.c
    |-- gnulib
    |   |-- getopt.c
    |   |-- getopt.in.h
    |   |-- m4
    `-- Makefile.am

As discussed in Unit tests, you may not use ‘--with-tests’ for this project since the configure.ac is shared.

Integration with your code is basically the same as outlined in Initial import with the one exception that you have to add both the macro gl_EARLY and the macro gl_tools_EARLY to your configure.ac (and of course also both macros gl_INIT and gl_tools_INIT). Obviously the name of the second macro is dependent on the value of the --macro-prefix option in your gnulib-tool invocation. 

...
AC_PROG_CC
gl_EARLY
gl_tools_EARLY
...
# For gnulib.
gl_INIT
gl_tools_INIT
...

Also as outlined in Initial import you will have to add compiler and linker flags. For the library you might have to add something along the line of the following to your Makefile.am: 

...
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/gnulib -I$(top_builddir)/gnulib
...
libfoo_la_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/gnulib/libgnu.la
...

Correspondingly for the programs you will have to add something like this: 

...
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/src/gnulib -I$(top_builddir)/src/gnulib
...
LDADD = $(top_builddir)/src/gnulib/libgnutools.la
...

The name of the library that you have pass in the linker option depends on the --lib option in gnulib-tool invocation.

3.11 Caveat: gettextize and autopoint users

The programs gettextize and autopoint, part of GNU gettext, import or update the internationalization infrastructure. Some of this infrastructure, namely ca. 20 Autoconf macro files and the config.rpath file, is also contained in Gnulib and may be imported by gnulib-tool. The use of gettextize or autopoint will therefore overwrite some of the files that gnulib-tool has imported, and vice versa.

Avoiding to use gettextize (manually, as package maintainer) or autopoint (as part of a script like autoreconf or autogen.sh) is not the solution: These programs also import the infrastructure in the po/ and optionally in the intl/ directory.

The copies of the conflicting files in Gnulib are more up-to-date than the copies brought in by gettextize and autopoint. When a new gettext release is made, the copies of the files in Gnulib will be updated immediately.

The choice of which version of gettext to require depends on the needs of your package. For a package that wants to comply to GNU Coding Standards, the steps are:

  1. When you run gettextize, always use the gettextize from the matching GNU gettext release. For the most recent Gnulib checkout, this is the newest release found on https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/. For an older Gnulib snapshot, it is the release that was the most recent release at the time the Gnulib snapshot was taken.
  2. After running gettextize, invoke gnulib-tool and import the gettext module. Also, copy the latest version of gnulib’s build-aux/po/Makefile.in.in to your po/ directory (this is done for you if you use gnulib’s autogen.sh script).
  3. If you get an error message like *** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from gettext version ... but the Autoconf macros are from gettext version ..., it means that a new GNU gettext release was made, and its Autoconf macros were integrated into Gnulib and now mismatch the po/ infrastructure. In this case, fetch and install the new GNU gettext release and run gettextize followed by gnulib-tool.

On the other hand, if your package is not as concerned with compliance to the latest standards, but instead favors development on stable environments, the steps are:

  1. Determine the oldest version of gettext that you intend to support during development (at this time, gnulib recommends going no older than version 0.17). Run autopoint (not gettextize) to copy infrastructure into place (newer versions of gettext will install the older infrastructure that you requested).
  2. Invoke gnulib-tool, and import the gettext-h module.

Regardless of which approach you used to get the infrastructure in place, the following steps must then be used to preserve that infrastructure (gnulib’s autogen.sh script follows these rules):

  1. When a script of yours run autopoint, invoke gnulib-tool afterwards.
  2. When you invoke autoreconf after gnulib-tool, make sure to not invoke autopoint a second time, by setting the AUTOPOINT environment variable, like this: 
    $ env AUTOPOINT=true autoreconf --install

3.12 Handling Gnulib’s own message translations

Gnulib provides some functions that emit translatable messages using GNU gettext. The ‘gnulib’ domain at the Translation Project collects translations of these messages, which you should incorporate into your own programs.

There are two basic ways to achieve this. The first, and older, method is to list all the source files you use from Gnulib in your own po/POTFILES.in file. This will cause all the relevant translatable strings to be included in your POT file. When you send this POT file to the Translation Project, translators will normally fill in the translations of the Gnulib strings from their “translation memory”, and send you back updated PO files.

However, this process is error-prone: you might forget to list some source files, or the translator might not be using a translation memory and provide a different translation than another translator, or the translation might not be kept in sync between Gnulib and your package. It is also slow and causes substantial extra work, because a human translator must be in the loop for each language and you will need to incorporate their work on request.

For these reasons, a new method was designed and is now recommended. If you pass the --po-base=directory and --po-domain=domain options to gnulib-tool, then gnulib-tool will create a separate directory with its own POTFILES.in, and fetch current translations directly from the Translation Project (using rsync or wget, whichever is available). The POT file in this directory will be called domain-gnulib.pot, depending on the domain you gave to the --po-domain option (typically the same as the package name). This causes these translations to reside in a separate message domain, so that they do not clash either with the translations for the main part of your package nor with those of other packages on the system that use possibly different versions of Gnulib. When you use these options, the functions in Gnulib are built in such a way that they will always use this domain regardless of the default domain set by textdomain.

In order to use this method, you must—in each program that might use Gnulib code—add an extra line to the part of the program that initializes locale-dependent behavior. Where you would normally write something like: 

  setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
  bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
  textdomain (PACKAGE);

you should add an additional bindtextdomain call to inform gettext of where the MO files for the extra message domain may be found: 

  bindtextdomain (PACKAGE "-gnulib", LOCALEDIR);

(This example assumes that the domain that you specified to gnulib-tool is the same as the value of the PACKAGE preprocessor macro.)

Since you do not change the textdomain call, the default message domain for your program remains the same and your own use of gettext functions will not be affected.

3.13 Integration with Version Control Systems

If a project stores its source files in a version control system (VCS), such as CVS, Subversion, or Git, one needs to decide which files to commit.

In principle, all files created by gnulib-tool, except gnulib-cache.m4, can be treated like generated source files, like for example a parser.c file generated from parser.y. Alternatively, they can be considered source files and updated manually.

Here are the three different approaches in common use. Each has its place, and you should use whichever best suits your particular project and development methods.

  1. In projects which commit all source files, whether generated or not, into their VCS, the gnulib-tool generated files should all be committed. In this case, you should pass the option ‘--no-vc-files’ to gnulib-tool, which avoids alteration of VCS-related files such as .gitignore.

    Gnulib also contains files generated by make (and removed by make clean), using information determined by configure. For a Gnulib source file of the form lib/foo.in.h, the corresponding lib/foo.h is such a make-generated file. These should not be checked into the VCS, but instead added to .gitignore or equivalent.

  2. In projects which customarily omit from their VCS all files that are generated from other source files, none of these files and directories are added into the VCS. As described in Modified imports, there are two ways to keep track of options and module names that are passed to gnulib-tool. The command for restoring the omitted files depends on it:

    Most packages nowadays use the first among these two approaches. Over time, three ways of handling version control have evolved.

    In the cases (A) and (B), a “git submodule” is used to reference the precise commit of the gnulib repository, so that each developer running ‘./bootstrap --pull’ or autopull.sh will get the same version of all gnulib-provided files.

    The alternative is to always follow the newest Gnulib automatically. Note that this can cause breakages at unexpected moments, namely when a broken commit is pushed in Gnulib. It does not happen often, but it does happen.

  3. Some projects take a “middle road”: they do commit Gnulib source files as in the first approach, but they do not commit other derived files, such as a Makefile.in generated by Automake. This increases the size and complexity of the repository, but can help occasional contributors by not requiring them to have a full Gnulib checkout to do a build, and all developers by ensuring that all developers are working with the same version of Gnulib in the repository. It also supports multiple Gnulib instances within a project. It remains important not to commit the make-generated files, as described above.

3.14 Bundling the unit tests of the Gnulib modules

You can bundle the unit tests of the Gnulib modules together with your package, through the ‘--with-tests’ option. Together with ‘--with-tests’, you also specify the directory for these tests through the ‘--tests-base’ option. Of course, you need to add this directory to the SUBDIRS variable in the Makefile.am of the parent directory.

The advantage of having the unit tests bundled is that when your program has a problem on a particular platform, running the unit tests may help determine quickly if the problem is on Gnulib’s side or on your package’s side. Also, it helps verifying Gnulib’s portability, of course.

The unit tests will be compiled and run when the user runs ‘make check’. When the user runs only ‘make’, the unit tests will not be compiled.

In the SUBDIRS variable, it is useful to put the Gnulib tests directory after the directory containing the other tests, not before: 

SUBDIRS = gnulib-lib src man tests gnulib-tests

This will ensure that on platforms where there are test failures in either directory, users will see and report the failures from the tests of your program.

Note: In packages which use more than one invocation of gnulib-tool in the scope of the same configure.ac, you cannot use ‘--with-tests’. You will have to use a separate configure.ac in this case.

3.15 Avoiding unnecessary checks and compilations

In some cases, a module is needed by another module only on specific platforms. But when a module is present, its Autoconf checks are always executed, and its Makefile.am additions are always enabled. So it can happen that some Autoconf checks are executed and some source files are compiled, although no other module needs them on this particular platform, just in case some other module would need them.

The option ‘--conditional-dependencies’ enables an optimization of configure checks and Makefile.am snippets that avoids this. With this option, whether a module is considered “present” is no longer decided when gnulib-tool is invoked, but later, when configure is run. This applies to modules that were added as dependencies while gnulib-tool was run; modules that were passed on the command line explicitly are always “present”.

For example, the timegm module needs, on platforms where the system’s timegm function is missing or buggy, a replacement that is based on a function mktime_internal. The module mktime-internal that provides this function provides it on all platforms. So, by default, the file mktime-internal.c will be compiled on all platforms, even on glibc and BSD systems which have a working timegm function. When the option ‘--conditional-dependencies’ is given, on the other hand, and if mktime-internal was not explicitly required on the command line, the file mktime-internal.c will only be compiled on the platforms where the timegm needs them.

Conditional dependencies are specified in the module description by putting the condition on the same line as the dependent module, enclosed in brackets. The condition is a boolean shell expression that can assume that the configure.ac snippet from the module description has already been executed. In the example above, the dependency from timegm to mktime-internal is written like this: 

Depends-on:
...
mktime-internal [test $HAVE_TIMEGM = 0 || test $REPLACE_TIMEGM = 1]
...

Note: The option ‘--conditional-dependencies’ cannot be used together with the option ‘--with-tests’. It also cannot be used when a package uses gnulib-tool for several subdirectories, with different values of ‘--source-base’, in the scope of a single configure.ac file.

4 Writing modules

This chapter explains how to write modules of your own, either to extend Gnulib for your own package (see Extending Gnulib), or for inclusion in gnulib proper.

The guidelines in this chapter do not necessarily need to be followed for using gnulib-tool. They merely represent a set of good practices. Following them will result in a good structure of your modules and in consistency with gnulib.

• Source code files:  
• Header files:  
• Implementation files:  
• Specification:  
• Module description:  
• Autoconf macros:  
• Using AC_LIBOBJ:  
• Unit test modules:  
• Incompatible changes:  

Next: , Up: Writing modules   [Contents][Index]

4.1 Source code files

Every API (C functions or variables) provided should be declared in a header file (.h file) and implemented in one or more implementation files (.c files). The separation has the effect that users of your module need to read only the contents of the .h file and the module description in order to understand what the module is about and how to use it—not the entire implementation. Furthermore, users of your module don’t need to repeat the declarations of the functions in their code, and are likely to receive notification through compiler errors if you make incompatible changes to the API (like, adding a parameter or changing the return type of a function).

Next: , Previous: , Up: Writing modules   [Contents][Index]

4.2 Header files

The .h file should declare the C functions and variables that the module provides.

The .h file should be stand-alone. That is, it does not require other .h files to be included before. Rather, it includes all necessary .h files by itself.

It is a tradition to use CPP tricks to avoid parsing the same header file more than once, which might cause warnings. The trick is to wrap the content of the header file (say, foo.h) in a block, as in: 

#ifndef FOO_H
# define FOO_H
...
body of header file goes here
...
#endif /* FOO_H */

Whether to use FOO_H or _FOO_H is a matter of taste and style. The C99 and C11 standards reserve all identifiers that begin with an underscore and either an uppercase letter or another underscore, for any use. Thus, in theory, an application might not safely assume that _FOO_H has not already been defined by a library. On the other hand, using FOO_H will likely lead the higher risk of collisions with other symbols (e.g., KEY_H, XK_H, BPF_H, which are CPP macro constants, or COFF_LONG_H, which is a CPP macro function). Your preference may depend on whether you consider the header file under discussion as part of the application (which has its own namespace for CPP symbols) or a supporting library (that shouldn’t interfere with the application’s CPP symbol namespace).

Adapting C header files for use in C++ applications can use another CPP trick, as in: 

# ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
# endif
...
body of header file goes here
...
# ifdef __cplusplus
}
# endif

The idea here is that __cplusplus is defined only by C++ implementations, which will wrap the header file in an ‘extern "C"’ block. Again, whether to use this trick is a matter of taste and style. While the above can be seen as harmless, it could be argued that the header file is written in C, and any C++ application using it should explicitly use the ‘extern "C"’ block itself. Your preference might depend on whether you consider the API exported by your header file as something available for C programs only, or for C and C++ programs alike.

Note that putting a #include in an extern "C" { ... } block yields a syntax error in C++ mode on some platforms (e.g., glibc systems with g++ v3.3 to v4.2, AIX, IRIX). For this reason, it is recommended to place the #include before the extern "C" block.

4.3 Implementation files

The .c file or files implement the functions and variables declared in the .h file.

Include ordering

Every implementation file must start with ‘#include <config.h>’. This is necessary for activating the preprocessor macros that are defined on behalf of the Autoconf macros. Some of these preprocessor macros, such as _GNU_SOURCE, would have no effect if defined after a system header file has already been included.

Then comes the ‘#include "..."’ specifying the header file that is being implemented. Putting this right after ‘#include <config.h>’ has the effect that it verifies that the header file is self-contained.

Then come the system and application headers. It is customary to put all the system headers before all application headers, so as to minimize the risk that a preprocessor macro defined in an application header confuses the system headers on some platforms.

In summary:

4.4 Specification

The specification of a function should answer at least the following questions:

Where to put the specification describing exported functions? Three practices are used in gnulib:

In any case, the specification should appear in just one place, unless you can ensure that the multiple copies will always remain identical.

The advantage of putting it in the header file is that the user only has to read the include file normally never needs to peek into the implementation file(s).

The advantage of putting it in the implementation file is that when reviewing or changing the implementation, you have both elements side by side.

The advantage of texinfo formatted documentation is that it is easily published in HTML or Info format.

Currently (as of 2020), 70% of gnulib uses the first practice, 25% of gnulib uses the second practice, and a small minority uses the texinfo practice.

4.5 Module description

For the module description, you can start from an existing module’s description, or from a blank one: module/TEMPLATE for a normal module, or module/TEMPLATE-TESTS for a unit test module. Some more fields are possible but rarely used. Use module/TEMPLATE-EXTENDED if you want to use one of them.

Module descriptions have the following fields. Absent fields are equivalent to fields with empty contents.

Description

This field should contain a concise description of the module’s functionality. One sentence is enough. For example, if it defines a single function ‘frob’, the description can be ‘frob() function: frobnication.’ Gnulib’s documentation generator will automatically convert the first part to a hyperlink when it has this form.

Status

This field is either empty/absent, or contains the word ‘obsolete’. In the latter case, gnulib-tool will, unless the option --with-obsolete is given, omit it when it used as a dependency. It is good practice to also notify the user about an obsolete module. This is done by putting into the ‘Notice’ section (see below) text like ‘This module is obsolete.’

Notice

This field contains text that gnulib-tool will show to the user when the module is used. This can be a status indicator like ‘This module is obsolete.’ or additional advice. Do not abuse this field.

Applicability

This field is either empty/absent, or contains the word ‘all’. It describes to which Makefile.am the module is applied. By default, a normal module is applied to source_base/Makefile.am (normally lib/Makefile.am), whereas a module ending in -tests is applied to tests_base/Makefile.am (normally tests/Makefile.am). If this field is ‘all’, it is applied to both Makefile.ams. This is useful for modules which provide Makefile.am macros rather than compiled source code.

Files

This field contains a newline separated list of the files that are part of the module. gnulib-tool copies these files into the package that uses the module.

This list is typically ordered by importance: First comes the header file, then the implementation files, then other files.

It is possible to have the same file mentioned in multiple modules. That is, if the maintainers of that module agree on the purpose and future of said file.

Depends-on

This field contains a newline separated list of the modules that are required for the proper working of this module. gnulib-tool includes each required module automatically, unless it is specified with option --avoid or it is marked as obsolete and the option --with-obsolete is not given.

A test modules foo-tests implicitly depends on the corresponding non-test module foo. foo implicitly depends on foo-tests if the latter exists and if the option --with-tests has been given.

Tests modules can depend on non-tests modules. Non-tests modules should not depend on tests modules. (Recall that tests modules are built in a separate directory.)

Each listed required module may be declared a conditional dependency. This is indicated by placing the condition for the dependency on the same line, enclosed in brackets, after the name of the required module. The condition is a shell expression that is run after the module’s configure.ac statements. For example: 

strtoull   [test $ac_cv_func_strtoumax = no]

Lines starting with # are recognized as comments and are ignored.

configure.ac-early

This field contains configure.ac stuff (Autoconf macro invocations and shell statements) that are logically placed early in the configure.ac file: right after the AC_PROG_CC invocation. This section is adequate for statements that modify CPPFLAGS, as these can affect the results of other Autoconf macros.

configure.ac

This field contains configure.ac stuff (Autoconf macro invocations and shell statements).

It is forbidden to add items to the CPPFLAGS variable here, other than temporarily, as these could affect the results of other Autoconf macros.

We avoid adding items to the LIBS variable, other than temporarily. Instead, the module can export an Autoconf-substituted variable that contains link options. The user of the module can then decide to which executables to apply which link options. Recall that a package can build executables of different kinds and purposes; having all executables link against all libraries is inappropriate.

If the statements in this section grow larger than a couple of lines, we recommend moving them to a .m4 file of their own.

Makefile.am

This field contains Makefile.am statements. Variables like lib_SOURCES are transformed to match the name of the library being built in that directory. For example, lib_SOURCES may become libgnu_a_SOURCES (for a plain library) or libgnu_la_SOURCES (for a libtool library). Therefore, the normal way of having an implementation file lib/foo.c compiled unconditionally is to write 

lib_SOURCES += foo.c
Include

This field contains the preprocessor statements that users of the module need to add to their source code files. Typically it’s a single include statement. A shorthand is allowed: You don’t need to write the word “#include”, just the name of the include file in the way it will appear in an include statement. Example: 

"foo.h"
Link

This field contains the set of libraries that are needed when linking libraries or executables that use this module. Often this will be written as a reference to a Makefile variable. Please write them one per line, so that gnulib-tool can remove duplicates when presenting a summary to the user. Example: 

$(POW_LIBM)
$(LTLIBICONV) when linking with libtool, $(LIBICONV) otherwise

When this field is omitted, it defaults to the union of the Link field of the dependencies.

License

This field specifies the license that governs the source code parts of this module. See Copyright for details. Be sure to place, in every source code file, a copyright notice and the appropriate license notice, taken from the etc/license-notices/ directory.

Maintainer

This field specifies the persons who have a definitive say about proposed changes to this module. You don’t need to mention email addresses here: they can be inferred from the ChangeLog file.

Please put at least one person here. We don’t like unmaintained modules.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Writing modules   [Contents][Index]

4.6 Autoconf macros

For a module foo, an Autoconf macro file m4/foo.m4 is typically created when the Autoconf macro invocations for the module are longer than one or two lines.

The name of the main entry point into this Autoconf macro file is typically gl_FOO. For modules outside Gnulib that are not likely to be moved into Gnulib, please use a prefix specific to your package: gt_ for GNU gettext, cu_ for GNU coreutils, etc.

For modules that define a function foo, the entry point is called gl_FUNC_FOO instead of gl_FOO. For modules that provide a header file with multiple functions, say foo.h, the entry point is called gl_FOO_H or gl_HEADER_FOO_H. This convention is useful because sometimes a header and a function name coincide (for example, fcntl and fcntl.h).

For modules that provide a replacement, it is useful to split the Autoconf macro into two macro definitions: one that detects whether the replacement is needed and requests the replacement by setting a HAVE_FOO variable to 0 or a REPLACE_FOO variable to 1 (this is the entry point, say gl_FUNC_FOO), and one that arranges for the macros needed by the replacement code lib/foo.c (typically called gl_PREREQ_FOO). The reason of this separation is

  1. to make it easy to update the Autoconf macros when you have modified the source code file: after changing lib/foo.c, all you have to review is the Depends-on section of the module description and the gl_PREREQ_FOO macro in the Autoconf macro file.
  2. The Autoconf macros are often large enough that splitting them eases maintenance.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Writing modules   [Contents][Index]

4.7 Making proper use of AC_LIBOBJ

Source files that provide a replacement should be only compiled on the platforms that need this replacement. While it is actually possible to compile a .c file whose contents is entirely #ifdef’ed out on the platforms that don’t need the replacement, this practice is discouraged because

The typical idiom for invoking AC_LIBOBJ is thus the following, in the module description: 

if test $HAVE_FOO = 0 || test $REPLACE_FOO = 1; then
  AC_LIBOBJ([foo])
  gl_PREREQ_FOO
fi

Important: Do not place AC_LIBOBJ invocations in the Autoconf macros in the m4/ directory. The purpose of the Autoconf macros is to determine what features or bugs the platform has, and to make decisions about which replacements are needed. The purpose of the configure.ac and Makefile.am sections of the module descriptions is to arrange for the replacements to be compiled. Source file names do not belong in the m4/ directory.

When an AC_LIBOBJ invocation is unconditional, it is simpler to just have the source file compiled through an Automake variable augmentation: In the Makefile.am section write 

lib_SOURCES += foo.c

When a module description contains an AC_LIBOBJ([foo]) invocation, you must list the source file lib/foo.c in the Files section. This is needed even if the module depends on another module that already lists lib/foo.c in its Files section – because your module might be used among the test modules (in the directory specified through ‘--tests-base’) and the other module among the main modules (in the directory specified through ‘--source-base’), and in this situation, the AC_LIBOBJ([foo]) of your module can only be satisfied by having foo.c be present in the tests source directory as well.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Writing modules   [Contents][Index]

4.8 Unit test modules

A unit test that is a simple C program usually has a module description as simple as this: 

Files:
tests/test-foo.c
tests/macros.h

Depends-on:

configure.ac:

Makefile.am:
TESTS += test-foo
check_PROGRAMS += test-foo

The test program tests/test-foo.c often has the following structure:

The body of the test, then, contains many ASSERT invocations. When a test fails, the ASSERT macro prints the line number of the failing statement, thus giving you, the developer, an idea of which part of the test failed, even when you don’t have access to the machine where the test failed and the reporting user cannot run a debugger.

Sometimes it is convenient to write part of the test as a shell script. (For example, in areas related to process control or interprocess communication, or when different locales should be tried.) In these cases, the typical module description is like this: 

Files:
tests/test-foo.sh
tests/test-foo.c
tests/macros.h

Depends-on:

configure.ac:

Makefile.am:
TESTS += test-foo.sh
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT += FOO_BAR='@FOO_BAR@'
check_PROGRAMS += test-foo

Here, the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable can be used to pass values determined by configure or by the Makefile to the shell script, as environment variables. The Autoconf values EXEEXT and srcdir are already provided as environment variables, through an initial value of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT that gnulib-tool puts in place.

Regardless of the specific form of the unit test, the following guidelines should be respected:

4.9 Incompatible changes

Incompatible changes to Gnulib modules should be mentioned in Gnulib’s NEWS file. Incompatible changes here mean that existing source code may not compile or work any more.

We don’t mean changes in the binary interface (ABI), since

  1. Gnulib code is used in source-code form.
  2. The user who distributes libraries that contain Gnulib code is supposed to bump the version number in the way described in the Libtool documentation before every release.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Top   [Contents][Index]

5 Extending Gnulib

Gnulib modules are intended to be suitable for widespread use. Most problems with Gnulib can and should be fixed in a generic way, so that all of Gnulib’s users can benefit from the change. But occasionally a problem arises that is difficult or undesirable to fix generically, or a project that uses Gnulib may need to work around an issue before the Gnulib maintainers commit a final fix. Maintainers may also want to add their own pools of modules to projects as Gnulib “staging areas.”

The obvious way to make local changes to Gnulib modules is to use gnulib-tool to check out pristine modules, then to modify the results in-place. This works well enough for short-lived experiments. It is harder to keep modified versions of Gnulib modules for a long time, even though Git (or another distributed version control systems) can help out a lot with this during the development process.

Git, however, doesn’t address the distribution issue. When a package “foobar” needs a modified version of, say, stdint.in.h, it either has to put a comment into foobar/autogen.sh saying “Attention! This doesn’t work with a pristine Gnulib, you need this and that patch after checking out Gnulib,” or it has to use the ‘--avoid=stdint’ option and provide the modified stdint module in a different directory.

The --local-dir option to gnulib-tool solves this problem. It allows the package to override or augment Gnulib. This means:

In a release tarball, you can distribute the contents of this --local-dir directory that will be combinable with newer versions of Gnulib, barring incompatible changes to Gnulib.

If the --local-dir=directory option is specified, then gnulib-tool looks in directory whenever it reads a file from the Gnulib directory. Suppose gnulib-tool is looking for file. Then:

You can specify the --local-dir multiple times. In this case, the first specified directory has the highest precedence. That is, a file found in one directory will shadow any file and file.diff in the later directories and in the Gnulib directory. And a file file.diff found in one directory will be applied on top of the combination of file and file.diff files found in the later directories and in the Gnulib directory.

Please make wise use of this option. It also allows you to easily hold back modifications you make to Gnulib macros in cases it may be better to share them.

6.1 Out of memory handling

The gnulib API does not have a standard error code for the out of memory error condition. Instead of adding a non-standard error code, gnulib has chosen to adopt a different strategy. Out of memory handling happens in rare situations, but performing the out of memory error handling after almost all API function invocations pollute your source code and might make it harder to spot more serious problems. The strategy chosen improves code readability and robustness.

For most applications, aborting the application with an error message when the out of memory situation occurs is the best that can be wished for. This is how the library behaves by default (using the ‘xalloc-die’ module).

However, we realize that some applications may not want to abort execution in any situation. Gnulib supports a hook to let the application regain control and perform its own cleanups when an out of memory situation has occurred. The application can define a function (having a void prototype, i.e., no return value and no parameters) and set the library variable xalloc_die to that function. The variable should be declared as follows. 

extern void (*xalloc_die) (void);

Gnulib will invoke this function if an out of memory error occurs. Note that the function should not return. Of course, care must be taken to not allocate more memory, as that will likely also fail.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Miscellaneous Notes   [Contents][Index]

6.2 Obsolete modules

Modules can be marked obsolete. This means that the problems they fix don’t occur any more on the platforms that are reasonable porting targets now. gnulib-tool warns when obsolete modules are mentioned on the command line, and by default ignores dependencies from modules to obsolete modules. When you pass the option --with-obsolete to gnulib-tool, dependencies to obsolete modules will be included, however, unless blocked through an --avoid option. This option is useful if your package should be portable even to very old platforms.

In order to mark a module obsolete, you need to add this to the module description: 

Status:
obsolete

Notice:
This module is obsolete.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Miscellaneous Notes   [Contents][Index]

6.3 Extra tests modules

Test modules can be marked with some special status attributes. When a test module has such an attribute, gnulib-tool --import will not include it by default.

The supported status attributes are:

c++-test

Indicates that the test is testing C++ interoperability. Such a test is useful in a C++ or mixed C/C++ package, but is useless in a C package.

longrunning-test

Indicates that the test takes a long time to compile or execute (more than five minutes or so). Such a test is better avoided in a release that is made for the general public.

privileged-test

Indicates that the test will request special privileges, for example, ask for the superuser password. Such a test may hang when run non-interactively and is therefore better avoided in a release that is made for the general public.

unportable-test

Indicates that the test is known to fail on some systems, and that there is no workaround about it. Such a test is better avoided in a release that is made for the general public.

gnulib-tool --import --with-tests will not include tests marked with these attributes by default. When gnulib-tool is invoked with one of the options --with-c++-tests, --with-longrunning-tests, --with-privileged-tests, --with-unportable-tests, it will include tests despite the corresponding special status attribute. When gnulib-tool receives the option --with-all-tests, it will include all tests regardless of their status attributes.

gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests and gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --with-tests by default include all tests of modules specified on the command line, regardless of their status attributes. Tests of modules occurring as dependencies are not included by default if they have one of these status attributes. The options --with-c++-tests, --with-longrunning-tests, --with-privileged-tests, --with-unportable-tests are recognized here as well. Additionally, gnulib-tool also understands the options --without-c++-tests, --without-longrunning-tests, --without-privileged-tests, --without-unportable-tests.

In order to mark a module with a status attribute, you need to add it to the module description, like this: 

Status:
longrunning-test

If only a part of a test deserves a particular status attribute, you can split the module into a primary and a secondary test module, say foo-tests and foo-extra-tests. Then add a dependency from foo-tests to foo-extra-tests, and mark the foo-extra-tests with the particular status attribute.

6.4 Modules that modify the way other modules work

The normal way to design modules is that each module has its own code, and the module dependencies provide the facilities on which this code can rely. But sometimes it is necessary to use more advanced techniques. For example:

Be aware that these advanced techniques likely cause breakage in the situation of multiple gnulib-tool invocations in the scope of a single configure file. This is because the question “is module B present?” does not have a unique answer in such situations. gnulib-tool has support for these techniques in the situation of --create-testdir --single-configure, which basically has two gnulib-tool invocations, one for a set of modules that end up in gllib, and one for the set of modules that end up in gltests. But you should be aware that this does not cover the general situation.

Which technique to use, depends on the answer to the question: “If my module occurs among the modules of gltests, should it have an effect on the modules in gllib?”

If the answer is “no”, your module description should invoke the Autoconf macro gl_MODULE_INDICATOR. This Autoconf macro takes one argument: the name of your module. The effect of gl_MODULE_INDICATOR([my-module]) is to define, in config.h, a C macro GNULIB_MY_MODULE that indicates whether your macro is considered to be present. This works even when your macro is used in gltests: GNULIB_MY_MODULE will then evaluate to 1 in gltests but to 0 in gllib.

If the answer is “yes”, you have two techniques available. The first one is to invoke a similar Autoconf macro, named gl_MODULE_INDICATOR_FOR_TESTS. It works similarly. However, when your macro is used in gltests, GNULIB_MY_MODULE will evaluate to 1 both in gltests and in gllib.

The second one is to define a shell variable in the configure file that tells whether your module is present, through use of m4_divert_text. The Autoconf macros of a dependency module will initialize this shell variable, through ‘m4_divert_text([DEFAULTS], [my_shell_var=no])’. The Autoconf macros of your module will override this value, through ‘m4_divert_text([INIT_PREPARE], [my_shell_var=yes])’. Then you can use my_shell_var in the Autoconf macros of both modules. You can find more details about this technique in the Gnulib module getopt-gnu.

Reminder: These techniques are advanced. They have the potential to cause lots of headaches if you apply them incorrectly.

6.5 A C++ namespace for gnulib

The function definitions provided by Gnulib (.c code) are meant to be compiled by a C compiler. The header files (.h files), on the other hand, can be used in either C or C++.

By default, when used in a C++ compilation unit, the .h files declare the same symbols and overrides as in C mode, except that functions defined by Gnulib or by the system are declared as ‘extern "C"’.

It is also possible to indicate to Gnulib to provide many of its symbols in a dedicated C++ namespace. If you define the macro GNULIB_NAMESPACE to an identifier, many functions will be defined in the namespace specified by the identifier instead of the global namespace. For example, after you have defined 

#define GNULIB_NAMESPACE gnulib

at the beginning of a compilation unit, Gnulib’s <fcntl.h> header file will make available the open function as gnulib::open. The symbol open will still refer to the system’s open function, with its platform specific bugs and limitations.

The symbols provided in the Gnulib namespace are those for which the corresponding header file contains a _GL_CXXALIAS_RPL or _GL_CXXALIAS_SYS macro invocation.

The benefits of this namespace mode are:

The drawback of this namespace mode is that the system provided symbols in the global namespace are still present, even when they contain bugs that Gnulib fixes. For example, if you call open (...) in your code, it will invoke the possibly buggy system function, even if you have requested the module ‘open’ from gnulib-tool.

You can turn on the namespace mode in some compilation units and keep it turned off in others. This can be useful if your package consists of an application layer that does not need to invoke POSIX functions and an operating system interface layer that contains all the OS function calls. In such a situation, you will want to turn on the namespace mode for the application layer—to avoid many preprocessor macro definitions—and turn it off for the OS interface layer—to avoid the drawback of the namespace mode, mentioned above.

6.6 License Texinfo sources

Gnulib provides copies of the GNU GPL, GNU LGPL, GNU Affero GPL, and GNU FDL licenses in Texinfo form. (The master location is https://www.gnu.org/licenses/). These Texinfo documents do not have any node names and structures built into them; for your manual, you should @include them in an appropriate @node.

The conventional name for the GPL node is ‘Copying’ and for the FDL ‘GNU Free Documentation License’. The LGPL doesn’t seem to have a conventional node name.

Of course the license texts themselves should not be changed at all.

The recommended way to make use of these license files, consistently with current practice, is as follows:

We recommend to place the licenses as appendices at the end of the manual, right before any indices. For the FDL, we suggest the following @menu entry: 

* GNU Free Documentation License::  License for copying this manual

For any @detailmenu entries, we suggest the following: 

Copying This Manual

* GNU Free Documentation License::     Copying and sharing this manual

And for actual inclusion of the FDL itself, we suggest the following: 

@node GNU Free Documentation License
@appendix GNU Free Documentation License

6.7 Building gnulib

If you wish to help the gnulib development effort with build logs for your favorite platform, you may perform these steps:

  1. Prerequisites tools

    Install the proper development tools. To build and test all of Gnulib, you will need development tools for the programming languages C, C++, Java, and Perl, along with standard POSIX utilities such as awk, make and sh. You will also need development tools that include Autoconf, Automake, Bison, Gettext, Git, GNU M4, Gperf, Libtool, and Texinfo. Some of these tools are needed only by some modules. More details can be found in Gnulib’s DEPENDENCIES file.

  2. Obtain Gnulib

    See https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/ for how to get the current Gnulib sources via Git.

  3. Create gnulib directory

    On a machine with GNU development tools installed and with a gnulib git checkout, use 

    gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --with-tests --dir=...

    Note: The created directory uses ca. 512 MB on disk.

  4. Transfer gnulib directory

    Transfer this directory to a build machine (HP-UX, Cygwin, or whatever). Often it is easier to transfer one file, and this can be achieved by running, inside the directory the following commands: 

    ./configure
make dist

    And then transferring the dummy-0.tar.gz file.

  5. Build modules

    On the build machine, run ./do-autobuild (or "nohup ./do-autobuild"). It creates a directory logs/ with a log file for each module.

7 Building the ISO C and POSIX Substitutes

This section shows a radically different way to use Gnulib.

You can extract the ISO C / POSIX substitutes part of gnulib by running the command 

gnulib-tool --create-testdir --source-base=lib \
            --dir=/tmp/posixlib `posix-modules`

The command ‘posix-modules’ is found in the same directory as gnulib-tool.

The resulting directory can be built on a particular platform, independently of the program being ported. Then you can configure and build any program, by setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS at configure time accordingly: set CPPFLAGS="-I.../posixlib/lib", plus any essential type definitions and flags that you find in .../posixlib/config.h, and set LDFLAGS=".../posixlib/lib/libgnu.a".

This way of using Gnulib is useful when you don’t want to modify the program’s source code, or when the program uses a mix between C and C++ sources (requiring separate builds of the posixlib for the C compiler and for the C++ compiler).

8 ISO C Keyword Substitutes

This chapter describes which keywords specified by ISO C are substituted by Gnulib.

• alignof:  alignas and alignof
• bool:  bool, false, and true
• nullptr:  nullptr
• static_assert:  static_assert

Next: , Up: Keyword Substitutes   [Contents][Index]

8.1 alignof and alignas

Gnulib module: alignasof

The alignasof module arranges for alignas and alignof to be more like standard C.

8.3 nullptr

Gnulib module: nullptr

The nullptr module arranges for nullptr to act like standard C and C++.

The nullptr keyword yields a null pointer. It differs from the NULL macro, in that NULL might be an integer whereas nullptr is of a special nullptr_t type with only one value, namely nullptr itself. Using nullptr can help some compilers emit more sensible warnings, can avoid the need to cast a null pointer passed to a function prototyped with an ellipsis, and removes the need to include <stddef.h> merely to define NULL.

8.4 static_assert

Gnulib module: assert-h

The assert-h module arranges for both static_assert and <assert.h> to be like standard C. See assert.h.

9 ISO C and POSIX Header File Substitutes

This chapter describes which header files specified by ISO C or POSIX are substituted by Gnulib, which portability pitfalls are fixed by Gnulib, and which (known) portability problems are not worked around by Gnulib.

The notation “Gnulib module: —” means that Gnulib does not provide a module providing a substitute for the header file. When the list “Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib” is empty, such a module is not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far found this header file important enough to contribute a substitute for it. If you need this particular header file, you may write to <bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>.

10 ISO C and POSIX Function Substitutes

This chapter describes which functions and function-like macros specified by ISO C (including ISO TS 18661-1) or POSIX are substituted by Gnulib, which portability pitfalls are fixed by Gnulib, and which (known) portability problems are not worked around by Gnulib.

The notation “Gnulib module: —” means that Gnulib does not provide a module providing a substitute for the function. When the list “Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib” is empty, such a module is not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far found this function important enough to contribute a substitute for it. If you need this particular function, you may write to <bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

ctime_r takes a pre-allocated buffer and length of the buffer, and returns NULL on errors. The input buffer should be at least 26 bytes in size. The output string is locale-independent. However, years can have more than 4 digits if time_t is sufficiently wide, so the length of the required output buffer is not easy to determine. Increasing the buffer size when ctime_r returns NULL is not necessarily sufficient. The NULL return value could mean some other error condition, which will not go away by increasing the buffer size.

A more flexible function is strftime. However, note that it is locale dependent.

Documentation:

Gnulib module: memset_explicit

The memset_explicit function is an approximation to what is needed, and does not suffice in general to erase information. Although calling memset_explicit should clear the memory in question, the information that was in memory may still be available elsewhere on the machine. Proper implementation of information erasure requires support from levels below C code.

10.906 realloc

POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/realloc.html

Gnulib module: realloc-posix

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Without the ‘realloc-gnu’ module described below, it is not portable to call realloc with a size of 0. With a NULL pointer argument, this is the same ambiguity as malloc (0) on whether a unique zero-size object is created. With a non-NULL pointer argument p, C17 says that it is implementation-defined whether realloc (p, 0) frees p. Behavior varies on whether realloc (p, 0) always frees p and successfully returns a null pointer, or always fails and leaves p valid, or usually succeeds and returns a unique zero-size object; a program not suspecting these variations in semantics will leak memory (either the still-valid p, or the non-NULL return value).

Extension: Gnulib provides a module ‘realloc-gnu’ that substitutes a realloc implementation that behaves more like the glibc implementation. It fixes these portability problems:

Note: Although sigprocmask officially has undefined behaviour in multi-threaded programs, in practice it is essentially equivalent to pthread_sigmask, with only a difference regarding the error return convention. It’s simpler to use sigprocmask, since it does not require linking with -lpthread on some platforms: glibc, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX, IRIX.

Note: This function was designed for the use-case of filling a fixed-size record with a string, before writing it to a file. This function is not appropriate for copying a string into a bounded memory area, because you have no guarantee that the result will be NUL-terminated. Even if you add the NUL byte at the end yourself, this function is inefficient (as it spends time clearing unused memory) and will allow silent truncation to occur, which is not a good behavior for GNU programs. For more details, see https://meyering.net/crusade-to-eliminate-strncpy/.

Note: This function’s behaviour depends on the locale, but does not support the multibyte characters that occur in strings in locales with MB_CUR_MAX > 1 (this includes all the common UTF-8 locales). There are four alternative APIs:

c_tolower

This function operates in a locale independent way and returns a different value than the argument only for uppercase ASCII characters. It is provided by the Gnulib module ‘c-ctype’.

towlower

This function operates in a locale dependent way, on wide characters. In order to use it, you first have to convert from multibyte to wide characters, using the mbrtowc function. It is provided by the Gnulib module ‘wctype’.

c32tolower

This function operates in a locale dependent way, on 32-bit wide characters. In order to use it, you first have to convert from multibyte to 32-bit wide characters, using the mbrtoc32 function. It is provided by the Gnulib module ‘c32tolower’.

uc_tolower

This function operates in a locale independent way, on Unicode characters. It is provided by the Gnulib module ‘unicase/tolower’.

Note: This function has no real use: It cannot be used for filling a fixed-size record with a wide string, before writing it to a file, because the wide string encoding is platform dependent and, on some platforms, also locale dependent. And this function is not appropriate for copying a wide string into a bounded memory area, because you have no guarantee that the result will be null-terminated. Even if you add the null character at the end yourself, this function is inefficient (as it spends time clearing unused memory) and will allow silent truncation to occur, which is not a good behavior for GNU programs.

11 Past POSIX Function Substitutes

This chapter describes which functions and function-like macros specified by older versions of POSIX are substituted by Gnulib, which portability pitfalls are fixed by Gnulib, and which (known) portability problems are not worked around by Gnulib.

The notation “Gnulib module: —” means that Gnulib does not provide a module providing a substitute for the function. When the list “Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib” is empty, such a module is not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far found this function important enough to contribute a substitute for it. If you need this particular function, you may write to <bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>.

12 Glibc Header File Substitutes

This chapter describes which header files contained in GNU libc but not specified by ISO C or POSIX are substituted by Gnulib, which portability pitfalls are fixed by Gnulib, and which (known) portability problems are not worked around by Gnulib.

The notation “Gnulib module: —” means that Gnulib does not provide a module providing a substitute for the header file. When the list “Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib” is empty, such a module is not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far found this header file important enough to contribute a substitute for it.

13 Glibc Function Substitutes

This chapter describes which functions and function-like macros provided as extensions by at least GNU libc are also supported by Gnulib, which portability pitfalls are fixed by Gnulib, and which (known) portability problems are not worked around by Gnulib.

The notation “Gnulib module: —” means that Gnulib does not provide a module providing a substitute for the function. When the list “Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib” is empty, such a module is not needed: No portability problems are known. Otherwise, it indicates that such a module would be useful but is not available: No one so far found this function important enough to contribute a substitute for it. If you need this particular function, you may write to <bug-gnulib at gnu dot org>.

This list of functions is sorted according to the header that declares them.

13.70.1 explicit_bzero

Documentation:

Gnulib module: explicit_bzero

The explicit_bzero function is an approximation to what is needed, and does not suffice in general to erase information. Although calling explicit_bzero should clear the memory in question, the information that was in memory may still be available elsewhere on the machine. Proper implementation of information erasure requires support from levels below C code.

C23 specifies the function memset_explicit, which should be preferred to explicit_bzero in new code. See memset_explicit.

Although this function is intended to produce random data, the data’s security properties may not be appropriate for your application. For example, identical “random” data streams might be produced by rebooted virtual machines. If this is of concern you may need to use additional techniques such as hedging.1

Related modules include getrandom, which has a more-flexible but more-complex API, and crypto/gc-random, which is likely a better match for code already using the other crypto APIs.

Note (quoted from man close): “The [POSIX] standard developers rejected a proposal to add closefrom() to the [POSIX] standard. Because the standard permits implementations to use inherited file descriptors as a means of providing a conforming environment for the child process, it is not possible to standardize an interface that closes arbitrary file descriptors above a certain value while still guaranteeing a conforming environment.”

14 Native Windows Support

There are three ways to create binaries that run on Microsoft Windows:

This chapter deals with the MinGW and MSVC platforms, commonly called “native Windows” platforms. Cygwin, on the other hand, is close enough to POSIX that it can be treated like any other Unix-like platform.

• Libtool and Windows:  
• Large File Support:  
• Inode numbers on Windows:  
• Precise file timestamps on Windows:  
• Avoiding the year 2038 problem:  
• Windows sockets:  
• Native Windows Support without MSVC Support:  
• Visual Studio Compatibility:  

Next: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.1 Libtool and Windows

If you want it to be possible to compile your program for a native Windows platform and you use Libtool, you need to use the win32-dll option of LT_INIT. In other words, put: 

LT_INIT([win32-dll])

in your configure.ac. This sets the correct names for the OBJDUMP, DLLTOOL, and AS tools for the build.

If you are building a library, you will also need to pass -no-undefined to make sure Libtool produces a DLL for your library. From a Makefile.am: 

libgsasl_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined

Next: , Previous: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.2 Large File Support

This module provides support for files 2 GiB and larger, or with device or inode numbers exceeding 32 bits. To this effect, it attempts to ensure that types like off_t and ino_t are 64-bit, at least on the following platforms: glibc, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, Cygwin, mingw, MSVC.

If the types cannot be made 64-bit, configure issues a warning and proceeds.

This module gives configure an option ‘--disable-largefile’ that suppresses support for large files. This may be useful if the package links to other libraries whose user-facing ABIs still require off_t or most other file-related types to be 32-bit on your platform.

This module also adds to configure an option --enable-year2038, needed on some platforms to access files with timestamps past the year 2038. See Avoiding the year 2038 problem.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.3 Inode numbers on Windows

The module ‘windows-stat-inodes’ ensures that, on native Windows platforms, struct stat contains st_dev, st_ino fields that are able to distinguish different inodes.

Note: Such values can only be provided for most files on the file system. For a few files (such as inaccessible files), st_dev and st_ino are set to 0. Therefore, you should test whether st_dev != 0 && st_ino != 0, before going to make inferences based on the file identity based on st_dev and st_ino.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.4 Precise file timestamps on Windows

The module ‘windows-stat-timespec’ ensures that, on native Windows platforms, struct stat contains st_atim, st_mtim, st_ctim fields of type struct timespec, providing 100 ns resolution for the timestamps of files.

Note: On some types of file systems, the timestamp resolution is limited by the file system. For example, on FAT file systems, st_mtim only has a resolution of 2 seconds. For more details, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.5 Avoiding the year 2038 problem

The year 2038 problem denotes unpredictable behaviour that will likely occur in the year 2038, for programs that use a 32-bit signed integer ‘time_t’ type that cannot represent timestamps on or after 2038-01-19 03:14:08 UTC. See Year 2038 problem for details.

The Gnulib module ‘year2038’ fixes this problem on some platforms, by making time_t wide enough to represent timestamps after 2038. This has no effect on most current platforms, which have timestamps that are already wide enough. However, ‘year2038’ by default arranges for builds on legacy 32-bit Linux kernels running glibc 2.34 and later to compile with ‘_TIME_BITS=64’ to get wider timestamps. On older platforms that do not support timestamps after the year 2038, ‘year2038’ causes configure to issue a warning but still proceed. On platforms that appear to support post-2038 timestamps but where something prevents this from working, configure fails.

The default behavior of ‘year2038’ can be overridden by using the configure option --disable-year2038, which suppresses support for post-2038 timestamps. This may be useful if the package links to other libraries whose user-facing ABIs still require time_t to be 32-bit on your platform.

The Gnulib module ‘year2038-recommended’ is like ‘year2038’, except it by default rejects platforms where time_t cannot represent timestamps after 2038. If this module is used and a 32-platform cannot support 64-bit time_t, one can still fix the year-2038 problem by using a 64-bit instead of a 32-bit build, as noted in the architecture list below. If all else fails one can configure with --disable-year2038; however, the resulting programs will mishandle timestamps after 2038.

The Gnulib module ‘year2038-recommended’ is designed for packages intended for use on 32-bit platforms after the year 2038. If your package is commonly built on 32-bit platforms that will not be used after the year 2038, you can use the ‘year2038’ module instead, to save builders the trouble of configuring with --disable-year2038.

If the Gnulib module ‘largefile’ is used but neither ‘year2038’ nor ‘year2038-recommended’ is used, configure will have an option --enable-year2038 that causes configure to behave as if ‘year2038’ was used. This is for packages that have long used ‘largefile’ but have not gotten around to upgrading their Gnulib module list to include ‘year2038’ or ‘year2038-recommended’. See Large File Support.

With the ‘year2038-recommended’ module, configure by default should work on the following 32-bit platforms (or 32-bit ABIs in bi-arch systems):

Whereas with ‘year2038-recommended’, configure should by default fail on earlier versions of the abovementioned platforms if a version is listed, and it should also by default fail on all versions of the following older 32-bit platforms or ABIs:

14.6 Windows sockets

One of the portability problems for native Windows are sockets and networking functions.

14.6.1 Getaddrinfo and WINVER

This was written for the getaddrinfo module, but may be applicable to other functions too.

The getaddrinfo function exists in ws2tcpip.h and -lws2_32 on Windows XP. The function declaration is present if WINVER >= 0x0501. Windows 2000 does not have getaddrinfo in its WS2_32.DLL.

Thus, if you want to assume Windows XP or later, you can add AC_DEFINE([WINVER], [0x0501]) to avoid compiling the (partial) getaddrinfo implementation.

If you want to support Windows 2000, don’t do anything. The replacement function will open WS2_32.DLL during run-time to see if there is a getaddrinfo function available, and use it when available.

14.7 Native Windows Support without MSVC Support

If your package does not desire to have MSVC support, that is, if MinGW shall be the only native Windows platform that you wish to get support for from Gnulib, and you wish to minimize the number of files imported from Gnulib accordingly, you can do so by passing the options ‘--avoid=msvc-inval --avoid=msvc-nothrow’ to gnulib-tool.

Previous: , Up: Native Windows Support   [Contents][Index]

14.8 Visual Studio Compatibility

The lib-msvc-compat module detects whether the linker supports --output-def when building a library. That parameter is used to generate a DEF file for a shared library (DLL). DEF files are useful for developers that use Visual Studio to develop programs that links to your library. See the GNU LD manual for more information.

There are other ways to create a DEF file, but we believe they are all sub-optimal to using --output-def during the build process. The variants we have considered include:

If you are using libtool to build your shared library, here is how to use this module. Import lib-msvc-compat to your project, and then add the following lines to the Makefile.am that builds the library: 

if HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--output-def,libfoo-$(DLL_VERSION).def
libfoo-$(DLL_VERSION).def: libfoo.la
defexecdir = $(libdir)
defexec_DATA = libfoo-$(DLL_VERSION).def
DISTCLEANFILES += $(defexec_DATA)
endif

The DLL_VERSION variable needs to be defined. It should be the shared library version number used in the DLL filename. For Windows targets you compute this value from the values you pass to Libtool’s -version-info. Assuming you have variables LT_CURRENT and LT_AGE defined for the CURRENT and AGE libtool version integers, you compute DLL_VERSION as follows: 

DLL_VERSION=`expr ${LT_CURRENT} - ${LT_AGE}`
AC_SUBST(DLL_VERSION)

15 Multithreading

Multithreading is a programming paradigm. In a multithreaded program, multiple threads execute concurrently (or quasi concurrently) at different places in the program.

There are three motivations for using multithreading in a program:

A multithreading API offers

Note: Programs that achieve multithreading through OpenMP (cf. the gnulib module ‘openmp’) don’t create and manage their threads themselves. Nevertheless, they need to use mutexes/locks in many cases.

• Multithreading APIs:  
• Choosing a multithreading API:  
• POSIX multithreading:  
• ISO C multithreading:  
• Gnulib multithreading:  
• Multithreading Optimizations:  

Next: , Up: Multithreading   [Contents][Index]

15.1 The three multithreading APIs

Three multithreading APIs are available to Gnulib users:

They are supported on all platforms that have multithreading in one form or the other. Currently, these are all platforms supported by Gnulib, except for Minix.

The main differences are:

Next: , Previous: , Up: Multithreading   [Contents][Index]

15.2 Choosing the right multithreading API

Here are guidelines for determining which multithreading API is best for your code.

In programs that use advanced POSIX APIs, such as spin locks, detached threads (pthread_detach), signal blocking (pthread_sigmask), priorities (pthread_setschedparam), processor affinity (pthread_setaffinity_np), it is best to use the POSIX API. This is because you cannot convert an ISO C thrd_t or a Gnulib gl_thread_t to a POSIX pthread_t.

In code that is shared with glibc, it is best to use the POSIX API as well.

In libraries, it is best to use the Gnulib API. This is because it gives the person who builds the library an option ‘--enable-threads={isoc,posix,windows}’, that determines on which native multithreading API of the platform to rely. In other words, with this choice, you can minimize the amount of glue code that your library needs to contain.

In the other cases, the POSIX API and the Gnulib API are equally well suited.

The ISO C API is never the best choice, as of this writing (2020).

Next: , Previous: , Up: Multithreading   [Contents][Index]

15.3 The POSIX multithreading API

The POSIX multithreading API is documented in POSIX https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/.

To make use of POSIX multithreading, even on platforms that don’t support it natively (most prominently, native Windows), use the following Gnulib modules:

PurposeModule
For thread creation and management: pthread-thread
For simple and recursive locks: pthread-mutex
For read-write locks: pthread-rwlock
For once-only execution: pthread-once
For “condition variables” (wait queues): pthread-cond
For thread-local storage: pthread-tss
For relinquishing control: sched_yield
For spin locks: pthread-spin

There is also a convenience module named pthread which depends on all of these (except sched_yield); so you don’t need to enumerate these modules one by one.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Multithreading   [Contents][Index]

15.4 The ISO C multithreading API

The ISO C multithreading API is documented in ISO C 11 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf.

To make use of ISO C multithreading, even on platforms that don’t support it or have severe bugs, use the following Gnulib modules:

PurposeModule
For thread creation and management: thrd
For simple locks, recursive locks, and read-write locks: mtx
For once-only execution: mtx
For “condition variables” (wait queues): cnd
For thread-local storage: tss

There is also a convenience module named threads which depends on all of these; so you don’t need to enumerate these modules one by one.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Multithreading   [Contents][Index]

15.5 The Gnulib multithreading API

The Gnulib multithreading API is documented in the respective include files:

To make use of Gnulib multithreading, use the following Gnulib modules:

PurposeModule
For thread creation and management: thread
For simple locks, recursive locks, and read-write locks: lock
For once-only execution: lock
For “condition variables” (wait queues): cond
For thread-local storage: tls
For relinquishing control: yield

The Gnulib multithreading supports a configure option ‘--enable-threads={isoc,posix,windows}’, that chooses the underlying thread implementation. Currently (2020):

15.6 Optimizations of multithreaded code

Despite all the optimizations of multithreading primitives that have been implemented over the years – from atomic operations in hardware, over futexes and restartable sequences in the Linux kernel, to lock elision [1] [2]) – single-threaded programs can still profit performance-wise from the assertion that they are single-threaded.

Gnulib defines four facilities that help optimizing for the single-threaded case.

16 Strings and Characters

This chapter describes the APIs for strings and characters, provided by Gnulib.

• Strings:  
• Characters:  

Next: , Up: Strings and Characters   [Contents][Index]

16.1 Strings

Several possible representations exist for the representation of strings in memory of a running C program.

• C strings:  
• Strings with NUL characters:  
• String Functions in C Locale:  
• Comparison of string APIs:  

Next: , Up: Strings   [Contents][Index]

16.1.1 The C string representation

The classical representation of a string in C is a sequence of characters, where each character takes up one or more bytes, followed by a terminating NUL byte. This representation is used for strings that are passed by the operating system (in the argv argument of main, for example) and for strings that are passed to the operating system (in system calls such as open). The C type to hold such strings is ‘char *’ or, in places where the string shall not be modified, ‘const char *’. There are many C library functions, standardized by ISO C and POSIX, that assume this representation of strings.

A character encoding, or encoding for short, describes how the elements of a character set are represented as a sequence of bytes. For example, in the ASCII encoding, the UNDERSCORE character is represented by a single byte, with value 0x5F. As another example, the COPYRIGHT SIGN character is represented:

Note: The ‘char’ type may be signed or unsigned, depending on the platform. When we talk about the "byte 0xA9" we actually mean the char object whose value is (char) 0xA9; we omit the cast to char in this documentation, for brevity.

In POSIX, the character encoding is determined by the locale. The locale is some environmental attribute that the user can choose.

Depending on the encoding, in general, every character is represented by one or more bytes (up to 4 bytes in practice – but use MB_LEN_MAX instead of the number 4 in the code). When every character is represented by only 1 byte, we speak of an “unibyte locale”, otherwise of a “multibyte locale”.

It is important to realize that the majority of Unix installations nowadays use UTF-8 as locale encoding; therefore, the majority of users are using multibyte locales.

Three important facts to remember are:

A ‘char’ is a byte, not a character.

As a consequence:

Multibyte does not imply UTF-8 encoding.

While UTF-8 is the most common multibyte encoding, GB18030 is also a supported locale encoding on GNU systems (mostly because it is a Chinese government standard, last revised in 2022).

Searching for a character in a string is not the same as searching for a byte in the string.

Take the above example of COPYRIGHT SIGN in the GB18030 encoding: A byte search will find the bytes '0' and '8' in this string. But a search for the character "0" or "8" in the string "©" must, of course, report “not found”.

As a consequence:

Workarounds can be found in Gnulib, in the form of mbs* API functions:

Gnulib also has additional API.

• Iterating through strings:  

Up: C strings   [Contents][Index]

16.1.1.1 Iterating through strings

For complex string processing, the provided string functions may not be enough, and what you need is a way to iterate through a string while processing each (possibly multibyte) character in turn. Gnulib provides two modules for this purpose. Both iterate through the string in forward direction. Iteration in backward direction, that is, from the string’s end to start, is not provided, as it is too hairy in general.

The mbuiter module is suitable when there is a high probability that only the first few multibyte characters need to be inspected. Whereas the mbiter module is better if usually the iteration runs through the entire string.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Strings   [Contents][Index]

16.1.2 Strings with NUL characters

The GNU Coding Standards, section https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Semantics.html, specifies:

Utilities reading files should not drop NUL characters, or any other nonprinting characters.

When it is a requirement to store NUL characters in strings, a variant of the C strings is needed. Gnulib offers a “string descriptor” type for this purpose. See Handling strings with NUL characters.

All remarks regarding encodings and multibyte characters in the previous section apply to string descriptors as well.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Strings   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3 Character and String Functions in C Locale

The functions in this section are similar to the generic string functions from the standard C library, except that

The functions are provided by the following modules.

• c-ctype:  
• c-strcase:  
• c-strcaseeq:  
• c-strcasestr:  
• c-strstr:  
• c-strtod:  
• c-strtold:  

Next: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.1 c-ctype

The c-ctype module contains functions operating on single-byte characters, like the functions in <ctype.h>, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The functions are: 

extern bool c_isascii (int c);

extern bool c_isalnum (int c);
extern bool c_isalpha (int c);
extern bool c_isblank (int c);
extern bool c_iscntrl (int c);
extern bool c_isdigit (int c);
extern bool c_islower (int c);
extern bool c_isgraph (int c);
extern bool c_isprint (int c);
extern bool c_ispunct (int c);
extern bool c_isspace (int c);
extern bool c_isupper (int c);
extern bool c_isxdigit (int c);

extern int c_tolower (int c);
extern int c_toupper (int c);

These functions assign properties only to ASCII characters.

The c argument can be a char or unsigned char value, whereas the corresponding functions in <ctype.h> take an argument that is actually an unsigned char value.

The c_is* functions return ‘bool’, where the corresponding functions in <ctype.h> return ‘int’ for historical reasons.

Note: The <ctype.h> functions support only unibyte locales.

Next: , Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.2 c-strcase

The c-strcase module contains case-insensitive string comparison functions operating on single-byte character strings, like the functions in <strings.h>, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The functions are: 

extern int c_strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2);
extern int c_strncasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);

For case conversion here, only ASCII characters are considered to be upper case or lower case.

Note: The functions strcasecmp, strncasecmp from <strings.h> support only unibyte locales; for multibyte locales, you need the functions mbscasecmp, mbsncasecmp, mbspcasecmp.

Next: , Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.3 c-strcaseeq

The c-strcaseeq module contains an optimized case-insensitive string comparison function operating on single-byte character strings, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The functions is actually implemented as a macro: 

extern int STRCASEEQ (const char *s1, const char *s2,
                      int s20, int s21, int s22, int s23, int s24, int s25,
                      int s26, int s27, int s28);

s2 should be a short literal ASCII string, and s20, s21, ... the individual characters of s2.

For case conversion here, only ASCII characters are considered to be upper case or lower case.

Next: , Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.4 c-strcasestr

The c-strcasestr module contains a case-insensitive string search function operating on single-byte character strings, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The function is: 

extern char *c_strcasestr (const char *haystack, const char *needle);

For case conversion here, only ASCII characters are considered to be upper case or lower case.

Note: The function strcasestr from <string.h> supports only unibyte locales; for multibyte locales, you need the function mbscasestr.

Next: , Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.5 c-strstr

The c-strstr module contains a substring search function operating on single-byte character strings, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The function is: 

extern char *c_strstr (const char *haystack, const char *needle);

Note: The function strstr from <string.h> supports only unibyte locales; for multibyte locales, you need the function mbsstr.

Next: , Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.6 c-strtod

The c-strtod module contains a string to number (‘double’) conversion function operating on single-byte character strings, that operates as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The function is: 

extern double c_strtod (const char *string, char **endp);

In particular, only a period ‘.’ is accepted as decimal point, even when the current locale’s notion of decimal point is a comma ‘,’, and no characters outside the basic character set are accepted.

On platforms without strtod_l, this function is not safe for use in multi-threaded applications since it calls setlocale.

Previous: , Up: String Functions in C Locale   [Contents][Index]

16.1.3.7 c-strtold

The c-strtold module contains a string to number (‘long double’) conversion function operating on single-byte character strings, that operates as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".)

The function is: 

extern long double c_strtold (const char *string, char **endp);

In particular, only a period ‘.’ is accepted as decimal point, even when the current locale’s notion of decimal point is a comma ‘,’.

16.2 Characters

A character is the elementary unit that strings are made of.

What is a character? “A character is an element of a character set” is sort of a circular definition, but it highlights the fact that it is not merely a number. Although many characters are visually represented by a single glyph, there are characters that, for example, have a different glyph when used at the end of a word than when used inside a word. A character is also not the minimal rendered text processing unit; that is a grapheme cluster and in general consists of one or more characters. If you want to know more about the concept of character and various concepts associated with characters, refer to the Unicode standard.

For the representation in memory of a character, various types have been in use, and some of them were failures: char and wchar_t were invented for this purpose, but are not the right types. char32_t is the right type (successor of wchar_t); and mbchar_t (defined by Gnulib) is an alternative for specific kinds of processing.

16.2.1 The char type

The char type is in the C language since the beginning in the 1970ies, but – due to its limitation of 256 possible values – is no longer the adequate type for storing a character.

Technically, it is still adequate in unibyte locales. But since most locales nowadays are multibyte locales, it makes no sense to write a program that runs only in unibyte locales.

ISO C and POSIX standardized an API for characters of type char, in <ctype.h>. This API is nowadays useless and obsolete, when it comes to general text processing.

The important lessons to remember are:

A ‘char’ is just the elementary storage unit for a string, not a character.

Never use <ctype.h>!

Next: , Previous: , Up: Characters   [Contents][Index]

16.2.2 The wchar_t type

The ISO C and POSIX standard creators made an attempt to overcome the dead end regarding the char type. They introduced

Unfortunately, this API and its implementation has numerous problems:

As a consequence, it is better to use multibyte strings. Such multibyte strings can bypass limitations of the wchar_t type, if you use functions defined in Gnulib and GNU libunistring for text processing. They can also faithfully transport malformed characters that were present in the input, without requiring the program to produce garbage or abort.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Characters   [Contents][Index]

16.2.3 The char32_t type

The ISO C and POSIX standard creators then introduced the char32_t type. In ISO C 11, it was conceptually a “32-bit wide character” type. In ISO C 23, its semantics has been further specified: A char32_t value is a Unicode code point.

Thus, the char32_t type is not affected the problems that plague the wchar_t type.

The char32_t type and its API are defined in the <uchar.h> header file.

ISO C and POSIX specify only the basic functions for the char32_t type, namely conversion of a single character (mbrtoc32 and c32rtomb). For convenience, Gnulib adds API for classification and case conversion of characters.

GNU libunistring can also be used on char32_t values. Since char32_t is the same as uint32_t, all u32_* functions of GNU libunistring are applicable to arrays of char32_t values.

On glibc systems, use of the 32-bit wide strings (char32_t[]) is exactly as efficient as the use of the older wide strings (wchar_t[]). This is possible because on glibc, wchar_t values already always were 32-bit and Unicode code points. mbrtoc32 is just an alias of mbrtowc. The Gnulib *c32* functions are optimized so that on glibc systems they immediately redirect to the corresponding *wc* functions.

Gnulib implements the ISO C 23 semantics of char32_t when you import the ‘uchar-c23’ module. Without this module, it implements only the ISO C 11 semantics; the effect is that on some platforms (macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris) a char32_t value is the same as a wchar_t value, not a Unicode code point. Thus, when you want to pass char32_t values to GNU libunistring or to some Unicode centric Gnulib functions, you need the ‘uchar-c23’ module in order to do so without portability problems.

16.2.4 The mbchar_t type

Gnulib defines an alternate way to encode a multibyte character: mbchar_t. Its main feature is the ability to process a string or stream with some malformed characters without reporting an error.

The type mbchar_t, defined in "mbchar.h", holds a character in both the multibyte and the 32-bit wide character representation. In case of a malformed character only the multibyte representation is used.

16.2.4.1 Reading multibyte strings

If you want to process (possibly multibyte) characters while reading them from a FILE * stream, without reading them into a string first, the mbfile module is made for this purpose.

17.1 alloca

The alloca module provides for a function alloca which allocates memory on the stack, where the system allows it. A memory block allocated with alloca exists only until the function that calls alloca returns or exits abruptly.

There are a few systems where this is not possible: HP-UX systems, and some other platforms when the C++ compiler is used. On these platforms the alloca module provides a malloc based emulation. This emulation will not free a memory block immediately when the calling function returns, but rather will wait until the next alloca call from a function with the same or a shorter stack length. Thus, in some cases, a few memory blocks will be kept although they are not needed any more.

The user can #include <alloca.h> and use alloca on all platforms. Note that the #include <alloca.h> must be the first one after the autoconf-generated config.h, for AIX 3 compatibility. Thanks to IBM for this nice restriction!

Note that GCC 3.1 and 3.2 can inline functions that call alloca. When this happens, the memory blocks allocated with alloca will not be freed until the end of the calling function. If this calling function runs a loop calling the function that uses alloca, the program easily gets a stack overflow and crashes. To protect against this compiler behaviour, you can mark the function that uses alloca with the following attribute: 

#ifdef __GNUC__
__attribute__ ((__noinline__))
#endif

An alternative to this module is the ‘alloca-opt’ module.

17.2 alloca-opt

The alloca-opt module provides for a function alloca which allocates memory on the stack, where the system allows it. A memory block allocated with alloca exists only until the function that calls alloca returns or exits abruptly.

There are a few systems where this is not possible: HP-UX systems, and some other platforms when the C++ compiler is used. On these platforms the alloca-opt module provides no replacement, just a preprocessor macro HAVE_ALLOCA.

The user can #include <alloca.h> on all platforms, and use alloca on those platforms where the preprocessor macro HAVE_ALLOCA evaluates to true. If HAVE_ALLOCA is false, the code should use a heap-based memory allocation based on malloc or (in C++) new. Note that the #include <alloca.h> must be the first one after the autoconf-generated config.h, for AIX 3 compatibility. Thanks to IBM for this nice restriction!

Note that GCC 3.1 and 3.2 can inline functions that call alloca. When this happens, the memory blocks allocated with alloca will not be freed until the end of the calling function. If this calling function runs a loop calling the function that uses alloca, the program easily gets a stack overflow and crashes.

17.3 Safe Allocation Macros

The standard C library malloc/realloc/calloc/free APIs are prone to a number of common coding errors. The safe-alloc module provides macros that make it easier to avoid many of them. It still uses the standard C allocation functions behind the scenes.

Some of the memory allocation mistakes that are commonly made are

The safe-alloc module addresses these problems in the following way:

Macro: int ALLOC (ptr)

Allocate sizeof *ptr bytes of memory and store the address of allocated memory in ptr. Fill the newly allocated memory with zeros.

Returns -1 on failure, 0 on success.

Macro: int ALLOC_N (ptr, count)

Allocate an array of count elements, each sizeof *ptr bytes long, and store the address of allocated memory in ptr. Fill the newly allocated memory with zeros.

Returns -1 on failure, 0 on success.

Macro: int ALLOC_N_UNINITIALIZED (ptr, count)

Allocate an array of count elements, each sizeof *ptr bytes long, and store the address of allocated memory in ptr. The allocated memory is not initialized.

Returns -1 on failure, 0 on success.

Macro: int REALLOC_N (ptr, count)

Reallocate the memory pointed to by ptr to be big enough to hold at least count elements, each sizeof *ptr bytes long, and store the address of allocated memory in ptr. If reallocation fails, the ptr variable is not modified. If the new array is smaller than the old one, discard excess contents; if larger, the newly added storage is not initialized.

Returns -1 on failure, 0 on success.

Macro: void FREE (ptr)

Free the memory stored in ptr and set ptr to NULL.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Particular Modules   [Contents][Index]

17.4 Attributes

This module provides a header file attribute.h that defines macros related to C and C++ attributes and the GCC __attribute__ keyword.

Here is an example of its use: 

#include <attribute.h>

NODISCARD
extern char *crypt (char const *, char const *)
  ATTRIBUTE_NOTHROW ATTRIBUTE_LEAF ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL ((1, 2));

NODISCARD expands to [[nodiscard]] if the compiler supports this C23 syntax, otherwise to __attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__)) if the compiler is a recent-enough GCC or GCC-like compiler, otherwise to nothing. ATTRIBUTE_NOTHROW expands to __attribute__ ((__nothrow__)) if the compiler is a recent-enough GCC or GCC-like compiler, and to nothing otherwise. Similarly for ATTRIBUTE_LEAF. ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL ((1, 2)) expands to __attribute__ ((__nonnull__ (1, 2))) if the compiler is recent-enough GCC, and to nothing otherwise.

Most of these attribute names begin with ATTRIBUTE_. A few do not, because they are part of C23 and their names are not likely to clash with other macro names. These macros are DEPRECATED, FALLTHROUGH, MAYBE_UNUSED, and NODISCARD, which can be defined to [[deprecated]] etc. on C23 platforms. Also, these exceptional macros should be placed at the start of function declarations, whereas the ATTRIBUTE_* macros can be placed at the end.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Particular Modules   [Contents][Index]

17.5 Compile-time Assertions

This module provides a header file verify.h that defines macros related to compile-time verification.

Two of these macros are verify (V) and verify_expr (V, EXPR). Both accept an integer constant expression argument V and verify that it is nonzero. If not, a compile-time error results.

These two macros implement compile-time tests, as opposed to the standard assert macro which supports only runtime tests. Since the tests occur at compile-time, they are more reliable, and they require no runtime overhead.

verify (V); is a declaration; it can occur outside of functions. In contrast, verify_expr (V, EXPR) is an expression that returns the value of EXPR; it can be used in macros that expand to expressions. If EXPR is an integer constant expression, then verify_expr (V, EXPR) is also an integer constant expression. Although EXPR and verify_expr (V, EXPR) are guaranteed to have the same side effects and value and type (after integer promotion), they need not have the same type if EXPR’s type is an integer that is narrower than int or unsigned int.

V should be an integer constant expression in the sense of the C standard. Its leaf operands should be integer, enumeration, or character constants; or sizeof expressions that return constants; or floating constants that are the immediate operands of casts. Outside a sizeof subexpression, V should not contain any assignments, function calls, comma operators, casts to non-integer types, or subexpressions whose values are outside the representable ranges for their types. If V is not an integer constant expression, then a compiler might reject a usage like ‘verify (V);’ even when V is nonzero.

Although the standard assert macro is a runtime test, C23 and C++17 specify a builtin static_assert (V), which differs from verify in two major ways. First, it can also be used within a struct or union specifier, in place of an ordinary member declaration. Second, it allows the programmer to specify, as an optional second argument, a compile-time diagnostic as a string literal. If your program is not intended to be portable to compilers that lack C23 or C++17 static_assert, the only advantage of verify is that its name is a bit shorter.

The verify.h header defines one more macro, assume (E), which expands to an expression of type void that causes the compiler to assume that E yields a nonzero value. E should be a scalar expression, and should not have side effects; it may or may not be evaluated. The behavior is undefined if E would yield zero. The main use of assume is optimization, as the compiler may be able to generate better code if it assumes E. For best results, E should be simple enough that a compiler can determine that it has no side effects: if E calls an external function or accesses volatile storage the compiler may not be able to optimize E away and assume (E) may therefore slow down the program.

Here are some example uses of these macros. 

#include <verify.h>

#include <limits.h>
#include <time.h>

/* Verify that time_t is an integer type.  */
verify ((time_t) 1.5 == 1);

/* Verify that time_t is no smaller than int.  */
verify (sizeof (int) <= sizeof (time_t));

/* Verify that time_t is signed.  */
verify ((time_t) -1 < 0);

/* Verify that time_t uses two's complement representation.  */
verify (~ (time_t) -1 == 0);

/* Return the maximum value of the integer type T,
   verifying that T is an unsigned integer type.
   The cast to (T) is outside the call to verify_expr
   so that the result is of type T
   even when T is narrower than unsigned int.  */
#define MAX_UNSIGNED_VAL(t) \
   ((T) verify_expr (0 < (T) -1, -1))

/* Return T divided by CHAR_MAX + 1, where behavior is
   undefined if T < 0.  In the common case where CHAR_MAX
   is 127 the compiler can therefore implement the division
   by shifting T right 7 bits, an optimization that would
   not be valid if T were negative.  */
time_t
time_index (time_t t)
{
  assume (0 <= t);
  return t / (CHAR_MAX + 1);
}

17.6 Non-returning Functions

A "non-returning" function is a function which cannot return normally. Instead of returning, it can loop forever, or it can transfer control via abort, execvp, exit, longjmp, throw (in C++), or similar mechanisms. Non-returning functions are declared with a void return type.

It helps the compiler’s ability to emit sensible warnings, following data-flow analysis, to declare which functions are non-returning. It can also help generate more-efficient code, as there is no need to save a return address when calling a non-returning function.

Gnulib has multiple ways to support such a declaration:

Which of the approaches to use? If the non-returning functions you have to declare are unlikely to be accessed through function pointers, you should use _Noreturn; otherwise the module noreturn provides for better data-flow analysis and thus for better warnings.

There is also an obsolete stdnoreturn module, but its use is no longer recommended.

17.7 Integer Properties

The intprops module consists of an include file <intprops.h> that defines several macros useful for testing properties of integer types.

Integer overflow is a common source of problems in programs written in C and other languages. In some cases, such as signed integer arithmetic in C programs, the resulting behavior is undefined, and practical platforms do not always behave as if integers wrap around reliably. In other cases, such as unsigned integer arithmetic in C, the resulting behavior is well-defined, but programs may still misbehave badly after overflow occurs.

Many techniques have been proposed to attack these problems. These include precondition testing, wraparound behavior where signed integer arithmetic is guaranteed to be modular, saturation semantics where overflow reliably yields an extreme value, undefined behavior sanitizers where overflow is guaranteed to trap, and various static analysis techniques.

Gnulib supports wraparound arithmetic and precondition testing, as these are relatively easy to support portably and efficiently. There are two families of precondition tests: the first, for integer types, is easier to use, while the second, for integer ranges, has a simple and straightforward portable implementation.

Like other Gnulib modules, the implementation of the intprops module assumes that integers use a two’s complement representation, but it does not assume that signed integer arithmetic wraps around. See Other portability assumptions.

• Arithmetic Type Properties:  Determining properties of arithmetic types.
• Integer Bounds:  Bounds on integer values and representations.
• Checking Integer Overflow:  Checking for overflow while computing integers.

• Integer Range Overflow:  Integer overflow checking if bounds are known.

17.7.1 Arithmetic Type Properties

TYPE_IS_INTEGER (t) is an arithmetic constant expression that yields 1 if the arithmetic type t is an integer type, 0 otherwise. bool counts as an integer type.

TYPE_SIGNED (t) is an arithmetic constant expression that yields 1 if the real type t is a signed integer type or a floating type, 0 otherwise. If t is an integer type, TYPE_SIGNED (t) is an integer constant expression.

EXPR_SIGNED (e) yields 1 if the real expression e has a signed integer type or a floating type, 0 otherwise. If e is an integer constant expression or an arithmetic constant expression, EXPR_SIGNED (e) is likewise. The expression e is not evaluated, and EXPR_SIGNED (e) is typically optimized to a constant.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

enum
{
  clock_t_is_integer = TYPE_IS_INTEGER (clock_t),
  uid_t_is_signed = TYPE_SIGNED (uid_t)
};

int
CLOCKS_PER_SEC_is_signed (void)
{
  return EXPR_SIGNED (CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
}

Next: , Previous: , Up: Integer Properties   [Contents][Index]

17.7.2 Integer Bounds

INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND (t) is an integer constant expression that is a bound on the size of the string representing an integer type or expression t in decimal notation, including the terminating null character and any leading - character. For example, if INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND (int) is 12, any value of type int can be represented in 12 bytes or less, including the terminating null. The bound is not necessarily tight.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
int_strlen (int i)
{
  char buf[INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND (int)];
  return sprintf (buf, "%d", i);
}

INT_STRLEN_BOUND (t) is an integer constant expression that is a bound on the length of the string representing an integer type or expression t in decimal notation, including any leading - character. This is one less than INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND (t).

TYPE_MINIMUM (t) and TYPE_MAXIMUM (t) are integer constant expressions equal to the minimum and maximum values of the integer type t. These expressions are of the type t.

Example usage: 

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <intprops.h>
bool
in_off_t_range (long long int a)
{
  return TYPE_MINIMUM (off_t) <= a && a <= TYPE_MAXIMUM (off_t);
}

17.7.3 Checking Integer Overflow

Signed integer arithmetic has undefined behavior on overflow in C. Although almost all modern computers use two’s complement signed arithmetic that is well-defined to wrap around, C compilers routinely optimize assuming that signed integer overflow cannot occur, which means that a C program cannot easily get at the underlying machine arithmetic. For example: 

if ((a + b < b) == (a < 0))
  a += b;
else
  printf ("overflow\n");

might not work as expected if a and b are signed, because a compiler can assume that signed overflow cannot occur and treat the entire if expression as if it were true. And even if a is unsigned, the expression might not work as expected if b is negative or is wider than a.

The following macros work around this problem by yielding an overflow indication while computing the sum, difference, or product of two integers. For example, if i is of type int, INT_ADD_OK (INT_MAX - 1, 1, &i) sets i to INT_MAX and yields 1, whereas INT_ADD_OK (INT_MAX, 1, &i) yields 0.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/* Compute A * B, reporting whether overflow occurred.  */
void
print_product (long int a, long int b)
{
  long int r;
  if (INT_MULTIPLY_OK (a, b, &r))
    printf ("result is %ld\n", r);
  else
    printf ("overflow\n");
}

These macros work for both signed and unsigned integers, so they can be used with integer types like time_t that may or may not be signed, depending on the platform.

These macros have the following restrictions:

INT_ADD_OK (a, b, r)

Compute the sum of a and b. If it fits into *r, store it there and yield 1. Otherwise yield 0, possibly modifying *r to an unspecified value. See above for restrictions.

INT_SUBTRACT_OK (a, b, r)

Compute the difference between a and b. If it fits into *r, store it there and yield 1. Otherwise yield 0, possibly modifying *r to an unspecified value. See above for restrictions.

INT_MULTIPLY_OK (a, b, r)

Compute the product of a and b. If it fits into *r, store it there and yield 1. Otherwise yield 0, possibly modifying *r to an unspecified value. See above for restrictions.

Other macros are available if you need wrapped-around results when overflow occurs (see Wraparound Arithmetic), or if you need to check for overflow in operations other than addition, subtraction, and multiplication (see Integer Type Overflow).

17.7.4 Wraparound Arithmetic with Integers

Signed integer arithmetic has undefined behavior on overflow in C. Although almost all modern computers use two’s complement signed arithmetic that is well-defined to wrap around, C compilers routinely optimize assuming that signed integer overflow cannot occur, which means that a C program cannot easily get at the underlying machine arithmetic. For example, on a typical machine with 32-bit two’s complement int the expression INT_MAX + 1 does not necessarily yield INT_MIN, because the compiler may do calculations with a 64-bit register, or may generate code that traps on signed integer overflow.

The following macros work around this problem by storing the wraparound value, i.e., the low-order bits of the correct answer, and by yielding an overflow indication. For example, if i is of type int, INT_ADD_WRAPV (INT_MAX, 1, &i) sets i to INT_MIN and yields 1 on a two’s complement machine. See Integer Type Overflow.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/* Print the low order bits of A * B,
   reporting whether overflow occurred.  */
void
print_product (long int a, long int b)
{
  long int r;
  int overflow = INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV (a, b, &r);
  printf ("result is %ld (%s)\n", r,
          (overflow
           ? "after overflow"
           : "no overflow"));
}

These macros work for both signed and unsigned integers, so they can be used with integer types like time_t that may or may not be signed, depending on the platform.

These macros have the following restrictions:

INT_ADD_WRAPV (a, b, r)

Store the low-order bits of the sum of a and b into *r. Yield 1 if overflow occurred, 0 if the low-order bits are the mathematically-correct sum. See above for restrictions.

INT_SUBTRACT_WRAPV (a, b, r)

Store the low-order bits of the difference between a and b into *r. Yield 1 if overflow occurred, 0 if the low-order bits are the mathematically-correct difference. See above for restrictions.

INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV (a, b, r)

Store the low-order bits of the product of a and b into *r. Yield 1 if overflow occurred, 0 if the low-order bits are the mathematically-correct product. See above for restrictions.

If your code includes <intprops.h> only for these _WRAPV macros, you may prefer to use Gnulib’s stdckdint module instead, as it supports similar macros that were standardized in C23 and are therefore independent of Gnulib if your code can assume C23 or later. See stdckdint.h.

Other macros are available if you do not need wrapped-around results when overflow occurs (see Checking Integer Overflow), or if you need to check for overflow in operations other than addition, subtraction, and multiplication (see Integer Type Overflow).

17.7.5 Integer Type Overflow

Although unsigned integer arithmetic wraps around modulo a power of two, signed integer arithmetic has undefined behavior on overflow in C. Almost all modern computers use two’s complement signed arithmetic that is well-defined to wrap around, but C compilers routinely optimize based on the assumption that signed integer overflow cannot occur, which means that a C program cannot easily get at the underlying machine behavior. For example, the signed integer expression (a + b < b) != (a < 0) is not a reliable test for whether a + b overflows, because a compiler can assume that signed overflow cannot occur and treat the entire expression as if it were false.

These macros yield 1 if the corresponding C operators overflow, 0 otherwise. They work correctly on all known practical hosts, and do not rely on undefined behavior due to signed arithmetic overflow. They are integer constant expressions if their arguments are. They are typically easier to use than the integer range overflow macros (see Integer Range Overflow), and they support more operations and evaluation contexts than the integer overflow checking macros (see Checking Integer Overflow) or the wraparound macros (see Wraparound Arithmetic).

These macros can be tricky to use with arguments narrower than int. For example, in the common case with 16-bit short int and 32-bit int, if a and b are of type short int then INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW (a, b) always yields 0, as a * b cannot overflow due to C’s rule that a and b are widened to int before multiplying. For this reason, often it is better to use the integer overflow checking macros (see Checking Integer Overflow) or the wraparound macros (see Wraparound Arithmetic) when checking for overflow in addition, subtraction, or multiplication.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/* Print A * B if in range, an overflow
   indicator otherwise.  */
void
print_product (long int a, long int b)
{
  if (INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW (a, b))
    printf ("multiply would overflow");
  else
    printf ("product is %ld", a * b);
}

/* Does the product of two ints always fit
   in a long int?  */
enum {
  INT_PRODUCTS_FIT_IN_LONG
    = ! (INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW
         ((long int) INT_MIN, INT_MIN))
};

These macros have the following restrictions:

These macros are tuned for their last argument being a constant.

INT_ADD_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a + b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_SUBTRACT_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a - b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_NEGATE_OVERFLOW (a)

Yields 1 if -a would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_MULTIPLY_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a * b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_DIVIDE_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a / b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. Division overflow can happen on two’s complement hosts when dividing the most negative integer by -1. This macro does not check for division by zero.

INT_REMAINDER_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a % b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. Remainder overflow can happen on two’s complement hosts when dividing the most negative integer by -1; although the mathematical result is always 0, in practice some implementations trap, so this counts as an overflow. This macro does not check for division by zero.

INT_LEFT_SHIFT_OVERFLOW (a, b)

Yield 1 if a << b would overflow, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. The C standard says that behavior is undefined for shifts unless 0≤b<w where w is a’s word width, and that when a is negative then a << b has undefined behavior, but this macro does not check these other restrictions.

17.7.6 Integer Range Overflow

These macros yield 1 if the corresponding C operators might not yield numerically correct answers due to arithmetic overflow, and 0 if if the operators do not overflow. They do not rely on undefined or implementation-defined behavior. They are integer constant expressions if their arguments are. Their implementations are simple and straightforward, but they are typically harder to use than the integer type overflow macros. See Integer Type Overflow.

Although the implementation of these macros is similar to that suggested in the SEI CERT C Secure Coding Standard, in its two sections “INT30-C. Ensure that unsigned integer operations do not wrap” and “INT32-C. Ensure that operations on signed integers do not result in overflow”, Gnulib’s implementation was derived independently of CERT’s suggestions.

Example usage: 

#include <intprops.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void
print_product (long int a, long int b)
{
  if (INT_MULTIPLY_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX))
    printf ("multiply would overflow");
  else
    printf ("product is %ld", a * b);
}

/* Does the product of two ints always fit
   in a long int?  */
enum {
  INT_PRODUCTS_FIT_IN_LONG
    = ! (INT_MULTIPLY_RANGE_OVERFLOW
         ((long int) INT_MIN, (long int) INT_MIN,
          LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX))
};

These macros have the following restrictions:

These macros are tuned for constant min and max. For commutative operations such as a + b, they are also tuned for constant b.

INT_ADD_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a + b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_SUBTRACT_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a - b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_NEGATE_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, min, max)

Yield 1 if -a would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_MULTIPLY_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a * b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions.

INT_DIVIDE_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a / b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. Division overflow can happen on two’s complement hosts when dividing the most negative integer by -1. This macro does not check for division by zero.

INT_REMAINDER_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a % b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. Remainder overflow can happen on two’s complement hosts when dividing the most negative integer by -1; although the mathematical result is always 0, in practice some implementations trap, so this counts as an overflow. This macro does not check for division by zero.

INT_LEFT_SHIFT_RANGE_OVERFLOW (a, b, min, max)

Yield 1 if a << b would overflow in [min,max] integer arithmetic, 0 otherwise. See above for restrictions. Here, min and max are for a only, and b need not be of the same type as the other arguments. The C standard says that behavior is undefined for shifts unless 0≤b<w where w is a’s word width, and that when a is negative then a << b has undefined behavior, but this macro does not check these other restrictions.

17.8 Static inline functions

In order to mark functions as static inline, the only prerequisite you need is an AC_REQUIRE([AC_C_INLINE]). No Gnulib module is needed.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Particular Modules   [Contents][Index]

17.9 Extern inline functions

The extern-inline module supports the use of C99-style extern inline functions so that the code still runs on compilers that do not support this feature correctly.

C code ordinarily should not use inline. Typically it is better to let the compiler figure out whether to inline, as compilers are pretty good about optimization nowadays. In this sense, inline is like register, another keyword that is typically no longer needed.

Functions defined (not merely declared) in headers are an exception, as avoiding inline would commonly cause problems for these functions. Suppose aaa.h defines the function aaa_fun, and aaa.c, bbb.c and ccc.c all include aaa.h. If code is intended to portable to non-C99 compilers, aaa_fun cannot be declared with the C99 inline keyword. This problem cannot be worked around by making aaa_fun an ordinary function, as it would be defined three times with external linkage and the definitions would clash. Although aaa_fun could be a static function, with separate compilation if aaa_fun is not inlined its code will appear in the executable three times.

To avoid this code bloat, aaa.h can do this: 

/* aaa.h */
/* #include any other headers here */
#ifndef _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN
 #error "Please include config.h first."
#endif
_GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN
#ifndef AAA_INLINE
# define AAA_INLINE _GL_INLINE
#endif
...
AAA_INLINE int
aaa_fun (int i)
{
  return i + 1;
}
...
_GL_INLINE_HEADER_END

and aaa.c can do this: 

/* aaa.c */
#include <config.h>
#define AAA_INLINE _GL_EXTERN_INLINE
#include <aaa.h>

whereas bbb.c and ccc.c can include aaa.h in the usual way. C99 compilers expand AAA_INLINE to C99-style inline usage, where aaa_fun is declared extern inline in aaa.c and plain inline in other modules. Non-C99 compilers that are compatible with GCC use GCC-specific syntax to accomplish the same ends. Other non-C99 compilers use static inline so they suffer from code bloat, but they are not mainline platforms and will die out eventually.

_GL_INLINE is a portable alternative to C99 plain inline.

_GL_EXTERN_INLINE is a portable alternative to C99 extern inline.

Invoke _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN before all uses of _GL_INLINE in an include file. This suppresses some bogus warnings in GCC versions before 5.1. If an include file includes other files, it is better to invoke this macro after including the other files.

Invoke _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END after all uses of _GL_INLINE in an include file.

17.10 Handling closed standard file descriptors

Usually, when a program gets invoked, its file descriptors 0 (for standard input), 1 (for standard output), and 2 (for standard error) are open. But there are situations when some of these file descriptors are closed. These situations can arise when

When a closed file descriptor is accessed through a system call, such as fcntl(), fstat(), read(), or write(), the system calls fails with error EBADF ("Bad file descriptor").

When a new file descriptor is allocated, the operating system chooses the smallest non-negative integer that does not yet correspond to an open file descriptor. So, when a given fd (0, 1, or 2) is closed, opening a new file descriptor may assign the new file descriptor to this fd. This can have unintended effects, because now standard input/output/error of your process is referring to a file that was not meant to be used in that role.

This situation is a security risk because the behaviour of the program in this situation was surely never tested, therefore anything can happen then – from overwriting precious files of the user to endless loops.

To deal with this situation, you first need to determine whether your program is affected by the problem.

If your program is affected, what is the mitigation?

Some operating systems install open file descriptors in place of the closed ones, either in the exec system call or during program startup. When such a file descriptor is accessed through a system call, it behaves like an open file descriptor opened for the “wrong” direction: the system calls fcntl() and fstat() succeed, whereas read() from fd 0 and write() to fd 1 or 2 fail with error EBADF ("Bad file descriptor"). The important point here is that when your program allocates a new file descriptor, it will have a value greater than 2.

This mitigation is enabled on HP-UX, for all programs, and on glibc, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, but only for setuid or setgid programs. Since it is operating system dependent, it is not a complete mitigation.

For a complete mitigation, Gnulib provides two alternative sets of modules:

The approach with the xstdopen module is simpler, but it adds three system calls to program startup. Whereas the approach with the *-safer modules is more complex, but adds no overhead (no additional system calls) in the normal case.

To use the approach with the xstdopen module:

  1. Import the module xstdopen from Gnulib.
  2. In the compilation unit that contains the main function, include "xstdopen.h".
  3. In the main function, near the beginning, namely right after the i18n related initializations (setlocale, bindtextdomain, textdomain invocations, if any) and the closeout initialization (if any), insert the invocation: 
    /* Ensure that stdin, stdout, stderr are open.  */
xstdopen ();

To use the approach with the *-safer modules:

  1. Import the relevant modules from Gnulib.
  2. In the compilation units that contain these function calls, include the replacement header file.

Do so according to this table:

FunctionModuleHeader file
open()fcntl-safer"fcntl--.h"
openat()openat-safer"fcntl--.h"
creat()fcntl-safer"fcntl--.h"
dup()unistd-safer"unistd--.h"

17.11 Handling strings with NUL characters

Strings in C are usually represented by a character sequence with a terminating NUL character. A ‘char *’, pointer to the first byte of this character sequence, is what gets passed around as function argument or return value.

The major restriction of this string representation is that it cannot handle strings that contain NUL characters: such strings will appear shorter than they were meant to be. In most application areas, this is not a problem, and the char * type is well usable.

In areas where strings with embedded NUL characters need to be handled, the common approach is to use a char *ptr pointer variable together with a size_t nbytes variable (or an idx_t nbytes variable, if you want to avoid problems due to integer overflow). This works fine in code that constructs or manipulates strings with embedded NUL characters. But when it comes to storing them, for example in an array or as key or value of a hash table, one needs a type that combines these two fields.

The Gnulib modules string-desc, xstring-desc, and string-desc-quotearg provide such a type. We call it a “string descriptor” and name it string_desc_t.

The type string_desc_t is a struct that contains a pointer to the first byte and the number of bytes of the memory region that make up the string. An additional terminating NUL byte, that may be present in memory, is not included in this byte count. This type implements the same concept as std::string_view in C++, or the String type in Java.

A string_desc_t can be passed to a function as an argument, or can be the return value of a function. This is type-safe: If, by mistake, a programmer passes a string_desc_t to a function that expects a char * argument, or vice versa, or assigns a string_desc_t value to a variable of type char *, or vice versa, the compiler will report an error.

Functions related to string descriptors are provided:

For outputting a string descriptor, the *printf family of functions cannot be used directly. A format string directive such as "%.*s" would not work:

Therefore Gnulib offers

The functionality is thus split across three modules as follows:

17.12 Container data types

Gnulib provides several generic container data types. They can be used to organize collections of application-defined objects.

• Ordinary containers:  
• Specialized containers:

17.12.1 Ordinary container data types

Data typeDetailsModuleMain include fileInclude file for operations with out-of-memory checking
Sequential listCan contain any number of objects in any given order. Duplicates are allowed, but can optionally be forbidden.list"gl_list.h""gl_xlist.h"
SetCan contain any number of objects; the order does not matter. Duplicates (in the sense of the comparator) are forbidden.set"gl_set.h""gl_xset.h"
Ordered setCan contain any number of objects in the order of a given comparator function. Duplicates (in the sense of the comparator) are forbidden.oset"gl_oset.h""gl_xoset.h"
MapCan contain any number of (key, value) pairs, where keys and values are objects; there are no (key, value1) and (key, value2) pairs with the same key (in the sense of a given comparator function).map"gl_map.h""gl_xmap.h"
Ordered mapCan contain any number of (key, value) pairs, where keys and values are objects; the (key, value) pairs are ordered by the key, in the order of a given comparator function; there are no (key, value1) and (key, value2) pairs with the same key (in the sense of the comparator function).omap"gl_omap.h""gl_xomap.h"

Operations without out-of-memory checking (suitable for use in libraries) are declared in the “main include file”. Whereas operations with out-of-memory checking (suitable only in programs) are declared in the “include file for operations with out-of-memory checking”.

For each of the data types, several implementations are available, with different performance profiles with respect to the available operations. This enables you to start with the simplest implementation (ARRAY) initially, and switch to a more suitable implementation after profiling your application. The implementation of each container instance is specified in a single place only: in the invocation of the function gl_*_create_empty that creates the instance.

The implementations and the guaranteed average performance for the operations for the “sequential list” data type are:

17.12.2 Specialized container data types

The hamt module implements the hash array mapped trie (HAMT) data structure. This is a data structure that contains (key, value) pairs. Lookup of a (key, value) pair given the key is on average an O(1) operation, assuming a good hash function for the keys is employed.

The HAMT data structure is useful when you want modifications (additions of pairs, removal, value changes) to be visible only to some part of your program, whereas other parts of the program continue to use the unmodified HAMT. The HAMT makes this possible in a space-efficient manner: the modified and the unmodified HAMT share most of their allocated memory. It is also time-efficient: Every such modification is O(1) on average, again assuming a good hash function for the keys.

A HAMT can be used whenever an ordinary hash table would be used. It does however, provide non-destructive updating operations without the need to copy the whole container. On the other hand, a hash table is simpler so that its performance may be better when non-destructive update operations are not needed.

For example, a HAMT can be used to model the dynamic environment in a LISP interpreter. Updating a value in the dynamic environment of one continuation frame would not modify values in earlier frames.

To use the module, include hamt.h in your code. The public interface is documented in that header file. You have to provide a hash function and an equivalence relation, which defines key equality. The module includes a test file test-hamt.c, which demonstrates how the API can be used.

In the current implementation, each inner node of the HAMT can store up to 32 = 2^5 entries and subtries. Whenever a collision between the initial bits of the hash values of two entries would happen, the next 5 bits of the hash values are examined and the two entries pushed down one level in the trie.

HAMTs have the same average access times as hash tables but grow and shrink dynamically, so they use memory more economically and do not have to be periodically resized.

They were described and analyzed in Phil Bagwell (2000). Ideal Hash Trees (Report). Infoscience Department, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

The persistence aspect of the HAMT data structure, which means that each updating operation (like inserting, replacing, or removing an entry) returns a new HAMT while leaving the original one intact, is achieved through structure sharing, which is even safe in the presence of multiple threads when the used C compiler supports atomics.

17.13 Recognizing Option Arguments

The module ‘argmatch’ provides a simple textual user interface to a finite choice. It is for example well suited to recognize arguments of options or values of environment variables that accept a fixed set of valid choices.

These choices may be denoted by synonyms, such as ‘none’ and ‘off’ below. 

$ my_cp --backup=none foo bar
$ my_cp --backup=non foo bar
$ my_cp --backup=no foo bar
$ my_cp --backup=n foo bar
my_cp: ambiguous argument 'n' for 'backup type'
Valid arguments are:
  - 'no', 'none', 'off'
  - 'numbered', 't', 'newstyle'
  - 'existing', 'nil', 'numbered-existing'
  - 'simple', 'never', 'single'
Try 'my_cp --help' for more information.
$ my_cp --backup=num foo bar
$ my_cp --backup=true foo bar
my_cp: invalid argument 'true' for 'backup type'
Valid arguments are:
  - 'no', 'none', 'off'
  - 'numbered', 't', 'newstyle'
  - 'existing', 'nil', 'numbered-existing'
  - 'simple', 'never', 'single'
Try 'my_cp --help' for more information.

To set up argmatch, first call ‘ARGMATCH_DEFINE_GROUP (name, type)’ with the name of the argmatch group name, and the value type. For instance: 

enum backup_type
{
  no_backups,
  simple_backups,
  numbered_existing_backups,
  numbered_backups
};

ARGMATCH_DEFINE_GROUP (backup, enum backup_type);

This defines a few types and functions named argmatch_name_*. Introduce the array that defines the mapping from user-input to actual value, with a terminator: 

static const argmatch_backup_arg argmatch_backup_args[] =
{
  { "no",                no_backups },
  { "none",              no_backups },
  { "off",               no_backups },
  { "simple",            simple_backups },
  { "never",             simple_backups },
  { "single",            simple_backups },
  { "existing",          numbered_existing_backups },
  { "nil",               numbered_existing_backups },
  { "numbered-existing", numbered_existing_backups },
  { "numbered",          numbered_backups },
  { "t",                 numbered_backups },
  { "newstyle",          numbered_backups },
  { NULL, no_backups }
};

Then introduce the array that defines the values, also with a terminator. Document only once per group of synonyms: 

static const argmatch_backup_doc argmatch_backup_docs[] =
{
  { "no",       N_("never make backups (even if --backup is given)") },
  { "numbered", N_("make numbered backups") },
  { "existing", N_("numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise") },
  { "simple",   N_("always make simple backups") },
  { NULL, NULL }
};

Finally, define the argmatch group: 

const argmatch_backup_group_type argmatch_backup_group =
{
  argmatch_backup_args,
  argmatch_backup_docs,
  N_("\
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.\n\
The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through\n\
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.  Here are the values:\n"),
  NULL
};

To use the argmatch group: 

ptrdiff_t i = argmatch_backup_choice ("--backup", "none");
// argmatch_backup_group.args[i].arg is "none", so its value
// is argmatch_backup_group.args[i].val.
// Return -1 on invalid argument, and -2 on ambiguity.

enum backup_type val = *argmatch_backup_value ("--backup", "none");
// Returns a pointer to the value, and exit on errors.
// So argmatch_backup_group.args[i].val == val.

const char *arg = argmatch_backup_argument (&no_backups);
// arg is "no".

// Print the documentation on stdout.
argmatch_backup_usage (stdout);
// Gives:
//
// The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
// The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
// the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.  Here are the values:
//
//   no, none, off  never make backups (even if --backup is given)
//   numbered, t, newstyle
//                  make numbered backups
//   existing, nil, numbered-existing
//                  numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
//   simple, never, single
//                  always make simple backups

17.14 Quoting

Gnulib provides ‘quote’ and ‘quotearg’ modules to help with quoting text, such as file names, in messages to the user. Here’s an example of using ‘quote’: 

#include <quote.h>
 ...
  error (0, errno, _("cannot change owner of %s"), quote (fname));

This differs from 

  error (0, errno, _("cannot change owner of '%s'"), fname);

in that quote escapes unusual characters in fname, e.g., ‘'’ and control characters like ‘\n’.

However, a caveat: quote reuses the storage that it returns. Hence if you need more than one thing quoted at the same time, you need to use quote_n.

Also, the quote module is not suited for multithreaded applications. In that case, you have to use quotearg_alloc, defined in the ‘quotearg’ module, which is decidedly less convenient.

17.15 progname and getprogname

Gnulib has two modules for retrieving the name of the currently executing program: progname and getprogname.

The progname module defines a variable program_name. It contains the name of the currently executing program, on all platforms. But it cannot be used implicitly: It requires that every main function be modified to invoke set_program_name (argv[0]) as one of its first actions.

The getprogname module defines a function getprogname(). It returns the name of the currently executing program, on most platforms. The advantage of this module is that it can be used without prior initializations. But it has limitations: In some rare situations, it cannot determine the name; then it returns "?" instead. And on some platforms, it returns a truncated program name.

The error function uses the getprogname module.

17.16 gcd: greatest common divisor

The gcd function returns the greatest common divisor of two numbers a > 0 and b > 0. It is the caller’s responsibility to ensure that the arguments are non-zero.

If you need a gcd function for an integer type larger than ‘unsigned long’, you can include the gcd.c implementation file with parametrization. The parameters are:

The created function has the prototype 

WORD_T GCD (WORD_T a, WORD_T b);

If you need the least common multiple of two numbers, it can be computed like this: lcm(a,b) = (a / gcd(a,b)) * b or lcm(a,b) = a * (b / gcd(a,b)). Avoid the formula lcm(a,b) = (a * b) / gcd(a,b) because—although mathematically correct—it can yield a wrong result, due to integer overflow.

In some applications it is useful to have a function taking the gcd of two signed numbers. In this case, the gcd function result is usually normalized to be non-negative (so that two gcd results can be compared in magnitude or compared against 1, etc.). Note that in this case the prototype of the function has to be 

unsigned long gcd (long a, long b);

and not 

long gcd (long a, long b);

because gcd(LONG_MIN,LONG_MIN) = -LONG_MIN = LONG_MAX + 1 does not fit into a signed ‘long’.

17.17 Profiling of program phases

The module ‘timevar’ provides a simple self-profiling facility, based on timers. 

Execution times (seconds)
read                  :   0.09 (19%) usr   0.08 (80%) sys   0.09 (18%) wall
read: scan            :   0.04 ( 9%) usr   0.08 (80%) sys   0.12 (26%) wall
read: parse           :   0.05 (10%) usr   0.00 ( 0%) sys   0.05 (10%) wall
work                  :   0.33 (70%) usr   0.00 ( 0%) sys   0.35 (71%) wall
work: phase 1         :   0.30 (64%) usr   0.00 ( 0%) sys   0.30 (64%) wall
work: phase 2         :   0.13 (28%) usr   0.00 ( 0%) sys   0.14 (29%) wall
output                :   0.04 ( 9%) usr   0.02 (20%) sys   0.04 ( 8%) wall
total time            :   0.47             0.10             0.49

To set up timevar, copy the stub file gnulib/lib/timevar.def next to where timevar.h and timevar.c were imported in your project, and define your timers there. For instance: 

/* The total execution time.  Mandatory.  */
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_total,      "total time")

/* Examples.  */
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_read,       "read")
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_work,       "work")
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_work_1,     "work: phase 1")
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_work_2,     "work: phase 2")
DEFTIMEVAR (tv_output,     "output")

Do not remove tv_total, it is mandatory. You may change its associated string.


Use timevar_push/timevar_pop to start/stop timers, as in the following example. 

#include <config.h>
#include "timevar.h"

#include <stdio.h>
#include "read.h"
#include "work.h"
#include "output.h"

int
main (void)
{
  timevar_enabled = true;
  timevar_init ();
  timevar_start (tv_total);

  timevar_push (tv_read);
  reader ();
  timevar_pop (tv_read);

  timevar_push (tv_work);
  work ();
  timevar_pop (tv_work);

  timevar_push (tv_output);
  output ();
  timevar_pop (tv_output);

  timevar_stop (tv_total);
  timevar_print (stderr);
}

with, for instance, in work.c 

#include <config.h>
#include "work.h"

void
work (void)
{
  timevar_push (tv_work_phase1);
  work1 ();
  timevar_pop (tv_work_phase1);

  timevar_push (tv_work_phase2);
  work2 ();
  timevar_pop (tv_work_phase2);
}

17.18 Library version handling

The module ‘check-version’ can be useful when your gnulib application is a system library. You will typically wrap the call to the check_version function through a library API, your library header file may contain: 

#define STRINGPREP_VERSION "0.5.18"
...
  extern const char *stringprep_check_version (const char *req_version);

To avoid ELF symbol collisions with other libraries that use the ‘check-version’ module, add to config.h through a AC_DEFINE something like: 

AC_DEFINE(check_version, stringprep_check_version,
          [Rename check_version.])

The stringprep_check_version function will thus be implemented by the check_version module.

There are two uses of the interface. The first is a way to provide for applications to find out the version number of the library it uses. The application may contain diagnostic code such as: 

  printf ("Stringprep version: header %s library %s",
          STRINGPREP_VERSION,
          stringprep_check_version (NULL));

Separating the library and header file version can be useful when searching for version mismatch related problems.

The second uses is as a rudimentary test of proper library version, by making sure the application get a library version that is the same, or newer, than the header file used when building the application. This doesn’t catch all problems, libraries may change backwards incompatibly in later versions, but enable applications to require a certain minimum version before it may proceed.

Typical uses look like: 

       /* Check version of libgcrypt. */
       if (!gcry_check_version (GCRYPT_VERSION))
         die ("version mismatch\n");

17.19 Supporting Relocation

It has been a pain for many users of GNU packages for a long time that packages are not relocatable. It means a user cannot copy a program, installed by another user on the same machine, to his home directory, and have it work correctly (including i18n). So many users need to go through configure; make; make install with all its dependencies, options, and hurdles.

Red Hat, Debian, and other binary distributions solve the “ease of installation” problem, but they hardwire path names, usually to /usr or /usr/local. This means that users need root privileges to install a binary package, and prevents installing two different versions of the same binary package.

A relocatable program can be moved or copied to a different location on the file system. It is possible to make symlinks to the installed and moved programs, and invoke them through the symlink. It is possible to do the same thing with a hard link only if the hard link file is in the same directory as the real program.

The relocatable-prog module aims to ease the process of making a GNU program relocatable. It helps overcome two obstacles. First, it aids with relocating the hard-coded references to absolute file names that GNU programs often contain. These references must be fixed up at runtime if a program is to be successfully relocated. The relocatable-prog module provides a function relocate that does this job.

Second, the loader must be able to find shared libraries linked to relocatable executables or referenced by other shared libraries linked to relocatable executables. The relocatable-prog module helps out here in a platform-specific way:

You can make your program relocatable by following these steps:

  1. Import the relocatable-prog module. For libraries, use the relocatable-lib or relocatable-lib-lgpl module, if the libraries are independent. For installing multiple libraries, at least one of which depends on another one, use the relocatable-prog module. If you need more than one module, or you need to use them with different settings, you will need multiple copies of gnulib (see Multiple instances).
  2. In every program, add to main as the first statement (even before setting the locale or doing anything related to libintl): 
    set_program_name (argv[0]);

    The prototype for this function is in progname.h.

  3. If you want your code to be portable to platforms that do not support automatic initialization, call set_relocation_prefix.
  4. Everywhere where you use a constant pathname from installation-time, wrap it in relocate so it gets translated to the run-time situation. Example: 
    bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);

    becomes: 

    bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, relocate (LOCALEDIR));

    The prototype for this function is in relocatable.h.

    There is also a variant of this function, named relocate2, that makes it easy to reclaim the memory allocated by the call.

  5. The set_program_name function can also configure some additional libraries to relocate files that they access, by defining corresponding C preprocessor symbols to 1. The libraries for which this is supported and the corresponding preprocessor symbols are:
    libcharset

    DEPENDS_ON_LIBCHARSET

    libiconv

    DEPENDS_ON_LIBICONV

    libintl

    DEPENDS_ON_LIBINTL

    Defining the symbol for a library makes every program in the package depend on that library, whether the program really uses the library or not, so this feature should be used with some caution.

  6. If your package installs shell scripts, also import the relocatable-script module. Then, near the beginning of each shell script that your package installs, add the following: 
    @relocatable_sh@

prefix="@prefix@"
exec_prefix="@exec_prefix@"   # usually needs $prefix.
datarootdir="@datarootdir@"   # usually needs $prefix.

if test "@RELOCATABLE@" = yes; then
  bindir="@bindir@"
  orig_installdir="$bindir" # see Makefile.am's *_SCRIPTS variables
  func_find_curr_installdir # determine curr_installdir
  func_find_prefixes
  relocate () {
    echo "$1/" \
    | sed -e "s%^${orig_installprefix}/%${curr_installprefix}/%" \
    | sed -e 's,/$,,'
  }
else
  relocate () {
    echo "$1"
  }
fi

# Get some relocated directory names.
sysconfdir=`relocate "@sysconfdir@"`          # usually needs $prefix.
some_datadir=`relocate "@datadir@/something"` # usually needs $datarootdir.
bindir=`relocate "@bindir@"`       # usually needs $exec_prefix, hence $prefix.

    You must adapt the definition of orig_installdir, depending on where the script gets installed. Also, at the end, instead of sysconfdir and some_datadir, transform those variables that you need.

  7. If your package installs Perl scripts, also import the relocatable-perl module. Then, near the beginning of each Perl script that your package installs, add the following: 
    @relocatable_pl@
if ("@RELOCATABLE@" eq "yes") {
  my $exec_prefix = "@exec_prefix@";
  my $orig_installdir = "@bindir@"; # see Makefile.am's *_SCRIPTS variables
  my ($orig_installprefix, $curr_installprefix) =
    find_prefixes($orig_installdir, find_curr_installdir());

  # the subroutine is defined whether or not the enclosing block is executed
  sub relocate {
    my ($dir) = @_;
    if ("@RELOCATABLE@" eq "yes") {
      $dir =~ s%^$orig_installprefix/%$curr_installprefix/%;
      $dir =~ s,/$,,;
    }
    return $dir;
  }
}

# Get some relocated directory names.
# (The gnulib module 'configmake' can help with this.)
$sysconfdir = relocate("@sysconfdir@");
$some_datadir = relocate(@datadir@/something");

    You must adapt the definition of $orig_installdir, depending on where the script gets installed. Also, at the end, instead of sysconfdir and some_datadir, transform those variables that you need.

  8. In your Makefile.am, for every program foo that gets installed in, say, $(bindir), you add: 
    foo_CPPFLAGS = -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(bindir)\"
if RELOCATABLE_VIA_LD
foo_LDFLAGS = `$(RELOCATABLE_LDFLAGS) $(bindir)`
endif

    When building gnulib to use with a relocatable library, you need to define the preprocessor symbol IN_LIBRARY. You may also want to build with ENABLE_COSTLY_RELOCATABLE, in which case you will also need to define INSTALLDIR. The following fragment can be added to an override Makefile.am used to build gnulib (see Modified build rules). 

    AM_CPPFLAGS += -DIN_LIBRARY -DENABLE_COSTLY_RELOCATABLE

if SHLIBS_IN_BINDIR
AM_CPPFLAGS += -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(bindir)\"
else
AM_CPPFLAGS += -DINSTALLDIR=\"$(libdir)\"
endif

    SHLIBS_IN_BINDIR is defined in configure.ac as follows: 

    AM_CONDITIONAL([SHLIBS_IN_BINDIR],
               [case "$host_os" in mingw* | cygwin*) true;; *) false;; esac])
  9. In your Makefile.am, for every library libfoo that gets installed in, say, $(libdir), you add: 
    if RELOCATABLE_VIA_LD
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS = `$(RELOCATABLE_LDFLAGS) $(libdir)`
endif
  10. Add a couple of variable assignments to your Makefile.am.

    If your package (or any package you rely on, e.g. gettext-runtime) will be relocated together with a set of installed shared libraries, then set RELOCATABLE_LIBRARY_PATH to a colon-separated list of those libraries’ directories, e.g. 

    RELOCATABLE_LIBRARY_PATH = $(libdir)

    If your config.h is not in $(top_builddir), then set RELOCATABLE_CONFIG_H_DIR to its directory, e.g. 

    RELOCATABLE_CONFIG_H_DIR = $(top_builddir)/src

17.20 func

The func module makes sure that you can use the predefined identifier __func__ as defined by C99 in your code.

A small example is: 

#include <config.h>
#include <stdio.h> /* for printf */

int main (void)
{
    printf ("%s: hello world\n", __func__);
}

Note that sizeof cannot be applied to __func__: On SunPRO C compiler, sizeof __func__ evaluates to 0.

17.21 stat-size

The stat-size module provides a small number of macros intended for interpreting the file size information in an instance of struct stat.

On POSIX systems, the st_blocks member of struct stat contains the number of disk blocks occupied by a file. The ST_NBLOCKS macro is used to estimate this quantity on systems which don’t actually have st_blocks. Each of these blocks contains ST_NBLOCKSIZE bytes.

The value of ST_NBLOCKSIZE is often quite small, small enough that performing I/O in chunks that size would be inefficient. ST_BLKSIZE is the I/O block size recommended for I/O to this file. This is not guaranteed to give optimum performance, but it should be reasonably efficient.

18 Regular expressions

• Overview:  
• Regular Expression Syntax:  
• Common Operators:  
• GNU Operators:  
• What Gets Matched?:  
• Programming with Regex:  
• Regular expression syntaxes:  

Next: , Up: Regular expressions   [Contents][Index]

18.1 Overview

A regular expression (or regexp, or pattern) is a text string that describes some (mathematical) set of strings. A regexp r matches a string s if s is in the set of strings described by r.

Using the Regex library, you can:

Some regular expressions match only one string, i.e., the set they describe has only one member. For example, the regular expression ‘foo’ matches the string ‘foo’ and no others. Other regular expressions match more than one string, i.e., the set they describe has more than one member. For example, the regular expression ‘f*’ matches the set of strings made up of any number (including zero) of ‘f’s. As you can see, some characters in regular expressions match themselves (such as ‘f’) and some don’t (such as ‘*’); the ones that don’t match themselves instead let you specify patterns that describe many different strings.

To either match or search for a regular expression with the Regex library functions, you must first compile it with a Regex pattern compiling function. A compiled pattern is a regular expression converted to the internal format used by the library functions. Once you’ve compiled a pattern, you can use it for matching or searching any number of times.

The Regex library is used by including regex.h. Regex provides three groups of functions with which you can operate on regular expressions. One group—the GNU group—is more powerful but not completely compatible with the other two, namely the POSIX and Berkeley Unix groups; its interface was designed specifically for GNU.

We wrote this chapter with programmers in mind, not users of programs—such as Emacs—that use Regex. We describe the Regex library in its entirety, not how to write regular expressions that a particular program understands.

18.2 Regular Expression Syntax

Characters are things you can type. Operators are things in a regular expression that match one or more characters. You compose regular expressions from operators, which in turn you specify using one or more characters.

Most characters represent what we call the match-self operator, i.e., they match themselves; we call these characters ordinary. Other characters represent either all or parts of fancier operators; e.g., ‘.’ represents what we call the match-any-character operator (which, no surprise, matches (almost) any character); we call these characters special. Two different things determine what characters represent what operators:

  1. the regular expression syntax your program has told the Regex library to recognize, and
  2. the context of the character in the regular expression.

In the following sections, we describe these things in more detail.

• Syntax Bits:  
• Predefined Syntaxes:  
• Collating Elements vs. Characters:  
• The Backslash Character:  

Next: , Up: Regular Expression Syntax   [Contents][Index]

18.2.1 Syntax Bits

In any particular syntax for regular expressions, some characters are always special, others are sometimes special, and others are never special. The particular syntax that Regex recognizes for a given regular expression depends on the current syntax (as set by re_set_syntax) when the pattern buffer of that regular expression was compiled.

You get a pattern buffer by compiling a regular expression. See GNU Pattern Buffers, for more information on pattern buffers. See GNU Regular Expression Compiling, and BSD Regular Expression Compiling, for more information on compiling.

Regex considers the current syntax to be a collection of bits; we refer to these bits as syntax bits. In most cases, they affect what characters represent what operators. We describe the meanings of the operators to which we refer in Common Operators and GNU Operators.

For reference, here is the complete list of syntax bits, in alphabetical order:

RE_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE_IN_LISTS

If this bit is set, then ‘\’ inside a list (see List Operators) quotes (makes ordinary, if it’s special) the following character; if this bit isn’t set, then ‘\’ is an ordinary character inside lists. (See The Backslash Character, for what ‘\’ does outside of lists.)

RE_BK_PLUS_QM

If this bit is set, then ‘\+’ represents the match-one-or-more operator and ‘\?’ represents the match-zero-or-more operator; if this bit isn’t set, then ‘+’ represents the match-one-or-more operator and ‘?’ represents the match-zero-or-one operator. This bit is irrelevant if RE_LIMITED_OPS is set.

RE_CHAR_CLASSES

If this bit is set, then you can use character classes in lists; if this bit isn’t set, then you can’t.

RE_CONTEXT_INDEP_ANCHORS

If this bit is set, then ‘^’ and ‘$’ are special anywhere outside a list; if this bit isn’t set, then these characters are special only in certain contexts. See Match-beginning-of-line Operator, and Match-end-of-line Operator.

RE_CONTEXT_INDEP_OPS

If this bit is set, then certain characters are special anywhere outside a list; if this bit isn’t set, then those characters are special only in some contexts and are ordinary elsewhere. Specifically, if this bit isn’t set then ‘*’, and (if the syntax bit RE_LIMITED_OPS isn’t set) ‘+’ and ‘?’ (or ‘\+’ and ‘\?’, depending on the syntax bit RE_BK_PLUS_QM) represent repetition operators only if they’re not first in a regular expression or just after an open-group or alternation operator. The same holds for ‘{’ (or ‘\{’, depending on the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_BRACES) if it is the beginning of a valid interval and the syntax bit RE_INTERVALS is set.

RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_DUP

If this bit is set, then an open-interval operator cannot occur at the start of a regular expression, or immediately after an alternation, open-group or close-interval operator.

RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_OPS

If this bit is set, then repetition and alternation operators can’t be in certain positions within a regular expression. Specifically, the regular expression is invalid if it has:

If this bit isn’t set, then you can put the characters representing the repetition and alternation characters anywhere in a regular expression. Whether or not they will in fact be operators in certain positions depends on other syntax bits.

RE_DEBUG

If this bit is set, and the regex library was compiled with -DDEBUG, then internal debugging is turned on; if unset, then it is turned off.

RE_DOT_NEWLINE

If this bit is set, then the match-any-character operator matches a newline; if this bit isn’t set, then it doesn’t.

RE_DOT_NOT_NULL

If this bit is set, then the match-any-character operator doesn’t match a null character; if this bit isn’t set, then it does.

RE_HAT_LISTS_NOT_NEWLINE

If this bit is set, nonmatching lists ‘[^...]’ do not match newline; if not set, they do.

RE_ICASE

If this bit is set, then ignore case when matching; otherwise, case is significant.

RE_INTERVALS

If this bit is set, then Regex recognizes interval operators; if this bit isn’t set, then it doesn’t.

RE_INVALID_INTERVAL_ORD

If this bit is set, a syntactically invalid interval is treated as a string of ordinary characters. For example, the extended regular expression ‘a{1’ is treated as ‘a\{1’.

RE_LIMITED_OPS

If this bit is set, then Regex doesn’t recognize the match-one-or-more, match-zero-or-one or alternation operators; if this bit isn’t set, then it does.

RE_NEWLINE_ALT

If this bit is set, then newline represents the alternation operator; if this bit isn’t set, then newline is ordinary.

RE_NO_BK_BRACES

If this bit is set, then ‘{’ represents the open-interval operator and ‘}’ represents the close-interval operator; if this bit isn’t set, then ‘\{’ represents the open-interval operator and ‘\}’ represents the close-interval operator. This bit is relevant only if RE_INTERVALS is set.

RE_NO_BK_PARENS

If this bit is set, then ‘(’ represents the open-group operator and ‘)’ represents the close-group operator; if this bit isn’t set, then ‘\(’ represents the open-group operator and ‘\)’ represents the close-group operator.

RE_NO_BK_REFS

If this bit is set, then Regex doesn’t recognize ‘\’digit as the back-reference operator; if this bit isn’t set, then it does.

RE_NO_BK_VBAR

If this bit is set, then ‘|’ represents the alternation operator; if this bit isn’t set, then ‘\|’ represents the alternation operator. This bit is irrelevant if RE_LIMITED_OPS is set.

RE_NO_EMPTY_RANGES

If this bit is set, then a regular expression with a range whose ending point collates lower than its starting point is invalid; if this bit isn’t set, then Regex considers such a range to be empty.

RE_NO_GNU_OPS

If this bit is set, GNU regex operators are not recognized; otherwise, they are.

RE_NO_POSIX_BACKTRACKING

If this bit is set, succeed as soon as we match the whole pattern, without further backtracking. This means that a match may not be the leftmost longest; see What Gets Matched? for what this means.

RE_NO_SUB

If this bit is set, then no_sub will be set to one during re_compile_pattern. This causes matching and searching routines not to record substring match information.

RE_UNMATCHED_RIGHT_PAREN_ORD

If this bit is set and the regular expression has no matching open-group operator, then Regex considers what would otherwise be a close-group operator (based on how RE_NO_BK_PARENS is set) to match ‘)’.

18.2.2 Predefined Syntaxes

If you’re programming with Regex, you can set a pattern buffer’s (see GNU Pattern Buffers) syntax either to an arbitrary combination of syntax bits (see Syntax Bits) or else to the configurations defined by Regex. These configurations define the syntaxes used by certain programs—GNU Emacs, POSIX Awk, traditional Awk, Grep, Egrep—in addition to syntaxes for POSIX basic and extended regular expressions.

The predefined syntaxes—taken directly from regex.h—are: 

#define RE_SYNTAX_EMACS 0

#define RE_SYNTAX_AWK                                                   \

18.2.3 Collating Elements vs. Characters

POSIX generalizes the notion of a character to that of a collating element. It defines a collating element to be “a sequence of one or more bytes defined in the current collating sequence as a unit of collation.”

This generalizes the notion of a character in two ways. First, a single character can map into two or more collating elements. For example, the German “ß” collates as the collating element ‘s’ followed by another collating element ‘s’. Second, two or more characters can map into one collating element. For example, the Czech ‘ch’ collates after ‘h’ and before ‘i’.

Since POSIX’s “collating element” preserves the essential idea of a “character,” we use the latter, more familiar, term in this document.

18.2.4 The Backslash Character

The ‘\’ character has one of four different meanings, depending on the context in which you use it and what syntax bits are set (see Syntax Bits). It can: 1) stand for itself, 2) quote the next character, 3) introduce an operator, or 4) do nothing.

  1. It stands for itself inside a list (see List Operators) if the syntax bit RE_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE_IN_LISTS is not set. For example, ‘[\]’ would match ‘\’.
  2. It quotes (makes ordinary, if it’s special) the next character when you use it either:
  3. It introduces an operator when followed by certain ordinary characters—sometimes only when certain syntax bits are set. See the cases RE_BK_PLUS_QM, RE_NO_BK_BRACES, RE_NO_BK_VAR, RE_NO_BK_PARENS, RE_NO_BK_REF in Syntax Bits. Also:
  4. In all other cases, Regex ignores ‘\’. For example, ‘\n’ matches ‘n’.

18.3 Common Operators

You compose regular expressions from operators. In the following sections, we describe the regular expression operators specified by POSIX; GNU also uses these. Most operators have more than one representation as characters. See Regular Expression Syntax, for what characters represent what operators under what circumstances.

For most operators that can be represented in two ways, one representation is a single character and the other is that character preceded by ‘\’. For example, either ‘(’ or ‘\(’ represents the open-group operator. Which one does depends on the setting of a syntax bit, in this case RE_NO_BK_PARENS. Why is this so? Historical reasons dictate some of the varying representations, while POSIX dictates others.

Finally, almost all characters lose any special meaning inside a list (see List Operators).

• Match-self Operator:  Ordinary characters.
• Match-any-character Operator:  .
• Concatenation Operator:  Juxtaposition.
• Repetition Operators:  * + ? {}
• Alternation Operator:  |
• List Operators:  [...] [^...]
• Grouping Operators:  (...)
• Back-reference Operator:  \digit
• Anchoring Operators:  ^ $

Next: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.1 The Match-self Operator (ordinary character)

This operator matches the character itself. All ordinary characters (see Regular Expression Syntax) represent this operator. For example, ‘f’ is always an ordinary character, so the regular expression ‘f’ matches only the string ‘f’. In particular, it does not match the string ‘ff’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.2 The Match-any-character Operator (.)

This operator matches any single printing or nonprinting character except it won’t match a:

newline

if the syntax bit RE_DOT_NEWLINE isn’t set.

null

if the syntax bit RE_DOT_NOT_NULL is set.

The ‘.’ (period) character represents this operator. For example, ‘a.b’ matches any three-character string beginning with ‘a’ and ending with ‘b’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.3 The Concatenation Operator

This operator concatenates two regular expressions a and b. No character represents this operator; you simply put b after a. The result is a regular expression that will match a string if a matches its first part and b matches the rest. For example, ‘xy’ (two match-self operators) matches ‘xy’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.4 Repetition Operators

Repetition operators repeat the preceding regular expression a specified number of times.

• Match-zero-or-more Operator:  *
• Match-one-or-more Operator:  +
• Match-zero-or-one Operator:  ?
• Interval Operators:  {}

Next: , Up: Repetition Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.4.1 The Match-zero-or-more Operator (*)

This operator repeats the smallest possible preceding regular expression as many times as necessary (including zero) to match the pattern. ‘*’ represents this operator. For example, ‘o*’ matches any string made up of zero or more ‘o’s. Since this operator operates on the smallest preceding regular expression, ‘fo*’ has a repeating ‘o’, not a repeating ‘fo’. So, ‘fo*’ matches ‘f’, ‘fo’, ‘foo’, and so on.

Since the match-zero-or-more operator is a suffix operator, it may be useless as such when no regular expression precedes it. This is the case when it:

Three different things can happen in these cases:

  1. If the syntax bit RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_OPS is set, then the regular expression is invalid.
  2. If RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_OPS isn’t set, but RE_CONTEXT_INDEP_OPS is, then ‘*’ represents the match-zero-or-more operator (which then operates on the empty string).
  3. Otherwise, ‘*’ is ordinary.

The matcher processes a match-zero-or-more operator by first matching as many repetitions of the smallest preceding regular expression as it can. Then it continues to match the rest of the pattern.

If it can’t match the rest of the pattern, it backtracks (as many times as necessary), each time discarding one of the matches until it can either match the entire pattern or be certain that it cannot get a match. For example, when matching ‘ca*ar’ against ‘caaar’, the matcher first matches all three ‘a’s of the string with the ‘a*’ of the regular expression. However, it cannot then match the final ‘ar’ of the regular expression against the final ‘r’ of the string. So it backtracks, discarding the match of the last ‘a’ in the string. It can then match the remaining ‘ar’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Repetition Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.4.2 The Match-one-or-more Operator (+ or \+)

If the syntax bit RE_LIMITED_OPS is set, then Regex doesn’t recognize this operator. Otherwise, if the syntax bit RE_BK_PLUS_QM isn’t set, then ‘+’ represents this operator; if it is, then ‘\+’ does.

This operator is similar to the match-zero-or-more operator except that it repeats the preceding regular expression at least once; see Match-zero-or-more Operator, for what it operates on, how some syntax bits affect it, and how Regex backtracks to match it.

For example, supposing that ‘+’ represents the match-one-or-more operator; then ‘ca+r’ matches, e.g., ‘car’ and ‘caaaar’, but not ‘cr’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Repetition Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.4.3 The Match-zero-or-one Operator (? or \?)

If the syntax bit RE_LIMITED_OPS is set, then Regex doesn’t recognize this operator. Otherwise, if the syntax bit RE_BK_PLUS_QM isn’t set, then ‘?’ represents this operator; if it is, then ‘\?’ does.

This operator is similar to the match-zero-or-more operator except that it repeats the preceding regular expression once or not at all; see Match-zero-or-more Operator, to see what it operates on, how some syntax bits affect it, and how Regex backtracks to match it.

For example, supposing that ‘?’ represents the match-zero-or-one operator; then ‘ca?r’ matches both ‘car’ and ‘cr’, but nothing else.

Previous: , Up: Repetition Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.4.4 Interval Operators ({ … } or \{ … \})

If the syntax bit RE_INTERVALS is set, then Regex recognizes interval expressions. They repeat the smallest possible preceding regular expression a specified number of times.

If the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_BRACES is set, ‘{’ represents the open-interval operator and ‘}’ represents the close-interval operator ; otherwise, ‘\{’ and ‘\}’ do.

Specifically, supposing that ‘{’ and ‘}’ represent the open-interval and close-interval operators; then:

{count}

matches exactly count occurrences of the preceding regular expression.

{min,}

matches min or more occurrences of the preceding regular expression.

{min, max}

matches at least min but no more than max occurrences of the preceding regular expression.

The interval expression (but not necessarily the regular expression that contains it) is invalid if:

If the interval expression is invalid and the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_BRACES is set, then Regex considers all the characters in the would-be interval to be ordinary. If that bit isn’t set, then the regular expression is invalid.

If the interval expression is valid but there is no preceding regular expression on which to operate, then if the syntax bit RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_OPS is set, the regular expression is invalid. If that bit isn’t set, then Regex considers all the characters—other than backslashes, which it ignores—in the would-be interval to be ordinary.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.5 The Alternation Operator (| or \|)

If the syntax bit RE_LIMITED_OPS is set, then Regex doesn’t recognize this operator. Otherwise, if the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_VBAR is set, then ‘|’ represents this operator; otherwise, ‘\|’ does.

Alternatives match one of a choice of regular expressions: if you put the character(s) representing the alternation operator between any two regular expressions a and b, the result matches the union of the strings that a and b match. For example, supposing that ‘|’ is the alternation operator, then ‘foo|bar|quux’ would match any of ‘foo’, ‘bar’ or ‘quux’.

The alternation operator operates on the largest possible surrounding regular expressions. (Put another way, it has the lowest precedence of any regular expression operator.) Thus, the only way you can delimit its arguments is to use grouping. For example, if ‘(’ and ‘)’ are the open and close-group operators, then ‘fo(o|b)ar’ would match either ‘fooar’ or ‘fobar’. (‘foo|bar’ would match ‘foo’ or ‘bar’.)

The matcher usually tries all combinations of alternatives so as to match the longest possible string. For example, when matching ‘(fooq|foo)*(qbarquux|bar)’ against ‘fooqbarquux’, it cannot take, say, the first (“depth-first”) combination it could match, since then it would be content to match just ‘fooqbar’.

Note that since the default behavior is to return the leftmost longest match, when more than one of a series of alternatives matches the actual match will be the longest matching alternative, not necessarily the first in the list.

18.3.6 List Operators ([ … ] and [^ … ])

Lists, also called bracket expressions, are a set of one or more items. An item is a character, a collating symbol, an equivalence class expression, a character class expression, or a range expression. The syntax bits affect which kinds of items you can put in a list. We explain the last four items in subsections below. Empty lists are invalid.

A matching list matches a single character represented by one of the list items. You form a matching list by enclosing one or more items within an open-matching-list operator (represented by ‘[’) and a close-list operator (represented by ‘]’).

For example, ‘[ab]’ matches either ‘a’ or ‘b’. ‘[ad]*’ matches the empty string and any string composed of just ‘a’s and ‘d’s in any order. Regex considers invalid a regular expression with a ‘[’ but no matching ‘]’.

Nonmatching lists are similar to matching lists except that they match a single character not represented by one of the list items. You use an open-nonmatching-list operator (represented by ‘[^’4) instead of an open-matching-list operator to start a nonmatching list.

For example, ‘[^ab]’ matches any character except ‘a’ or ‘b’.

If the syntax bit RE_HAT_LISTS_NOT_NEWLINE is set, then nonmatching lists do not match a newline.

Most characters lose any special meaning inside a list. The special characters inside a list follow.

‘]’

ends the list if it’s not the first list item. So, if you want to make the ‘]’ character a list item, you must put it first.

‘\’

quotes the next character if the syntax bit RE_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE_IN_LISTS is set.

‘[.’

represents the open-collating-symbol operator (see Collating Symbol Operators).

‘.]’

represents the close-collating-symbol operator.

‘[=’

represents the open-equivalence-class operator (see Equivalence Class Operators).

‘=]’

represents the close-equivalence-class operator.

‘[:’

represents the open-character-class operator (see Character Class Operators) if the syntax bit RE_CHAR_CLASSES is set and what follows is a valid character class expression.

‘:]’

represents the close-character-class operator if the syntax bit RE_CHAR_CLASSES is set and what precedes it is an open-character-class operator followed by a valid character class name.

‘-’

represents the range operator (see Range Operator) if it’s not first or last in a list or the ending point of a range.

All other characters are ordinary. For example, ‘[.*]’ matches ‘.’ and ‘*’.

• Collating Symbol Operators:  [.elem.]
• Equivalence Class Operators:  [=class=]
• Character Class Operators:  [:class:]
• Range Operator:  start-end

Next: , Up: List Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.6.1 Collating Symbol Operators ([. … .])

Collating symbols can be represented inside lists. You form a collating symbol by putting a collating element between an open-collating-symbol operator and a close-collating-symbol operator. ‘[.’ represents the open-collating-symbol operator and ‘.]’ represents the close-collating-symbol operator. For example, if ‘ll’ is a collating element, then ‘[[.ll.]]’ would match ‘ll’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: List Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.6.2 Equivalence Class Operators ([= … =])

Regex recognizes equivalence class expressions inside lists. A equivalence class expression is a set of collating elements which all belong to the same equivalence class. You form an equivalence class expression by putting a collating element between an open-equivalence-class operator and a close-equivalence-class operator. ‘[=’ represents the open-equivalence-class operator and ‘=]’ represents the close-equivalence-class operator. For example, if ‘a’ and ‘A’ were an equivalence class, then both ‘[[=a=]]’ and ‘[[=A=]]’ would match both ‘a’ and ‘A’. If the collating element in an equivalence class expression isn’t part of an equivalence class, then the matcher considers the equivalence class expression to be a collating symbol.

Next: , Previous: , Up: List Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.6.3 Character Class Operators ([: … :])

If the syntax bit RE_CHAR_CLASSES is set, then Regex recognizes character class expressions inside lists. A character class expression matches one character from a given class. You form a character class expression by putting a character class name between an open-character-class operator (represented by ‘[:’) and a close-character-class operator (represented by ‘:]’). The character class names and their meanings are:

alnum

letters and digits

alpha

letters

blank

system-dependent; for GNU, a space or tab

cntrl

control characters (in the ASCII encoding, code 0177 and codes less than 040)

digit

digits

graph

same as print except omits space

lower

lowercase letters

print

printable characters (in the ASCII encoding, space tilde—codes 040 through 0176)

punct

neither control nor alphanumeric characters

space

space, carriage return, newline, vertical tab, and form feed

upper

uppercase letters

xdigit

hexadecimal digits: 0–9, a–f, A–F

These correspond to the definitions in the C library’s <ctype.h> facility. For example, ‘[:alpha:]’ corresponds to the standard facility isalpha. Regex recognizes character class expressions only inside of lists; so ‘[[:alpha:]]’ matches any letter, but ‘[:alpha:]’ outside of a bracket expression and not followed by a repetition operator matches just itself.

Previous: , Up: List Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.6.4 The Range Operator (-)

Regex recognizes range expressions inside a list. They represent those characters that fall between two elements in the current collating sequence. You form a range expression by putting a range operator between two of any of the following: characters, collating elements, collating symbols, and equivalence class expressions. The starting point of the range and the ending point of the range don’t have to be the same kind of item, e.g., the starting point could be a collating element and the ending point could be an equivalence class expression. If a range’s ending point is an equivalence class, then all the collating elements in that class will be in the range.5 ‘-’ represents the range operator. For example, ‘a-f’ within a list represents all the characters from ‘a’ through ‘f’ inclusively.

If the syntax bit RE_NO_EMPTY_RANGES is set, then if the range’s ending point collates less than its starting point, the range (and the regular expression containing it) is invalid. For example, the regular expression ‘[z-a]’ would be invalid. If this bit isn’t set, then Regex considers such a range to be empty.

Since ‘-’ represents the range operator, if you want to make a ‘-’ character itself a list item, you must do one of the following:

For example, ‘[-a-z]’ matches a lowercase letter or a hyphen (in English, in ASCII).

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.7 Grouping Operators (( … ) or \( … \))

A group, also known as a subexpression, consists of an open-group operator, any number of other operators, and a close-group operator. Regex treats this sequence as a unit, just as mathematics and programming languages treat a parenthesized expression as a unit.

Therefore, using groups, you can:

If the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_PARENS is set, then ‘(’ represents the open-group operator and ‘)’ represents the close-group operator; otherwise, ‘\(’ and ‘\)’ do.

If the syntax bit RE_UNMATCHED_RIGHT_PAREN_ORD is set and a close-group operator has no matching open-group operator, then Regex considers it to match ‘)’.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Common Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.8 The Back-reference Operator (\digit)

If the syntax bit RE_NO_BK_REF isn’t set, then Regex recognizes back-references. A back-reference matches a specified preceding group. The back-reference operator is represented by ‘\digit’ anywhere after the end of a regular expression’s digit-th group (see Grouping Operators).

digit must be between ‘1’ and ‘9’. The matcher assigns numbers 1 through 9 to the first nine groups it encounters. By using one of ‘\1’ through ‘\9’ after the corresponding group’s close-group operator, you can match a substring identical to the one that the group does.

Back-references match according to the following (in all examples below, ‘(’ represents the open-group, ‘)’ the close-group, ‘{’ the open-interval and ‘}’ the close-interval operator):

You can use a back-reference as an argument to a repetition operator. For example, ‘(a(b))\2*’ matches ‘a’ followed by two or more ‘b’s. Similarly, ‘(a(b))\2{3}’ matches ‘abbbb’.

If there is no preceding digit-th subexpression, the regular expression is invalid.

Back-references can greatly slow down matching, as they can generate exponentially many matching possibilities that can consume both time and memory to explore. Also, the POSIX specification for back-references is at times unclear. Furthermore, many regular expression implementations have back-reference bugs that can cause programs to return incorrect answers or even crash, and fixing these bugs has often been low-priority: for example, as of 2020 the GNU C library bug database contained back-reference bugs 52, 10844, 11053, 24269 and 25322, with little sign of forthcoming fixes. Luckily, back-references are rarely useful and it should be little trouble to avoid them in practical applications.

18.3.9 Anchoring Operators

These operators can constrain a pattern to match only at the beginning or end of the entire string or at the beginning or end of a line.

• Match-beginning-of-line Operator:  ^
• Match-end-of-line Operator:  $

Next: , Up: Anchoring Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.9.1 The Match-beginning-of-line Operator (^)

This operator can match the empty string either at the beginning of the string or after a newline character. Thus, it is said to anchor the pattern to the beginning of a line.

In the cases following, ‘^’ represents this operator. (Otherwise, ‘^’ is ordinary.)

These rules imply that some valid patterns containing ‘^’ cannot be matched; for example, ‘foo^bar’ if RE_CONTEXT_INDEP_ANCHORS is set.

If the not_bol field is set in the pattern buffer (see GNU Pattern Buffers), then ‘^’ fails to match at the beginning of the string. This lets you match against pieces of a line, as you would need to if, say, searching for repeated instances of a given pattern in a line; it would work correctly for patterns both with and without match-beginning-of-line operators.

Previous: , Up: Anchoring Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.3.9.2 The Match-end-of-line Operator ($)

This operator can match the empty string either at the end of the string or before a newline character in the string. Thus, it is said to anchor the pattern to the end of a line.

It is always represented by ‘$’. For example, ‘foo$’ usually matches, e.g., ‘foo’ and, e.g., the first three characters of ‘foo\nbar’.

Its interaction with the syntax bits and pattern buffer fields is exactly the dual of ‘^’’s; see the previous section. (That is, “‘^’” becomes “‘$’”, “beginning” becomes “end”, “next” becomes “previous”, “after” becomes “before”, and “not_bol” becomes “not_eol”.)

18.4 GNU Operators

The following are operators that GNU defines (and POSIX doesn’t) that you can use unless the syntax bit RE_NO_GNU_OPS is set.

• Word Operators:  
• Space Operators:  
• Whole-string Operators:  

Next: , Up: GNU Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.4.1 Word Operators

The operators in this section require Regex to recognize parts of words. Characters that are part of words, which are called word-constituent, are letters, digits, and the underscore (‘_’); more precisely, any character in the POSIX class alnum in the current locale, or underscore.

• Match-word-boundary Operator:  \b
• Match-within-word Operator:  \B
• Match-beginning-of-word Operator:  \<
• Match-end-of-word Operator:  \>
• Match-word-constituent Operator:  \w
• Match-non-word-constituent Operator:  \W

Next: , Up: Word Operators   [Contents][Index]

18.5 What Gets Matched?

Regex usually matches strings according to the “leftmost longest” rule; that is, it chooses the longest of the leftmost matches. This does not mean that for a regular expression containing subexpressions that it simply chooses the longest match for each subexpression, left to right; the overall match must also be the longest possible one.

For example, ‘(ac*)(c*d[ac]*)\1’ matches ‘acdacaaa’, not ‘acdac’, as it would if it were to choose the longest match for the first subexpression.

18.6 Programming with Regex

Here we describe how you use the Regex data structures and functions in C programs. Regex has three interfaces: one designed for GNU, one compatible with POSIX (as specified by POSIX, draft 1003.2/D11.2), and one compatible with Berkeley Unix. The POSIX interface is not documented here; see the documentation of GNU libc, or the POSIX man pages. The Berkeley Unix interface is documented here for convenience, since its documentation is not otherwise readily available on GNU systems.

• BSD Regex Functions:

18.6.1 GNU Regex Functions

If you’re writing code that doesn’t need to be compatible with either POSIX or Berkeley Unix, you can use these functions. They provide more options than the other interfaces.

• GNU Pattern Buffers:  The re_pattern_buffer type.
• GNU Regular Expression Compiling:  re_compile_pattern ()
• GNU Matching:  re_match ()
• GNU Searching:  re_search ()
• Matching/Searching with Split Data:  re_match_2 (), re_search_2 ()
• Searching with Fastmaps:  re_compile_fastmap ()
• GNU Translate Tables:  The translate field.
• Using Registers:  The re_registers type and related fns.
• Freeing GNU Pattern Buffers:  regfree ()

18.6.1.1 GNU Pattern Buffers

To compile, match, or search for a given regular expression, you must supply a pattern buffer. A pattern buffer holds one compiled regular expression.6

You can have several different pattern buffers simultaneously, each holding a compiled pattern for a different regular expression.

regex.h defines the pattern buffer struct with the following public fields: 

  unsigned char *buffer;
  unsigned long allocated;
  char *fastmap;
  char *translate;
  size_t re_nsub;
  unsigned no_sub : 1;
  unsigned not_bol : 1;
  unsigned not_eol : 1;

Next: , Previous: , Up: GNU Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.1.2 GNU Regular Expression Compiling

In GNU, you can both match and search for a given regular expression. To do either, you must first compile it in a pattern buffer (see GNU Pattern Buffers).

Regular expressions match according to the syntax with which they were compiled; with GNU, you indicate what syntax you want by setting the variable re_syntax_options (declared in regex.h) before calling the compiling function, re_compile_pattern (see below). See Syntax Bits, and Predefined Syntaxes.

You can change the value of re_syntax_options at any time. Usually, however, you set its value once and then never change it.

re_compile_pattern takes a pattern buffer as an argument. You must initialize the following fields:

translate initialization
translate

Initialize this to point to a translate table if you want one, or to zero if you don’t. We explain translate tables in GNU Translate Tables.

fastmap

Initialize this to nonzero if you want a fastmap, or to zero if you don’t.

buffer
allocated

If you want re_compile_pattern to allocate memory for the compiled pattern, set both of these to zero. If you have an existing block of memory (allocated with malloc) you want Regex to use, set buffer to its address and allocated to its size (in bytes).

re_compile_pattern uses realloc to extend the space for the compiled pattern as necessary.

To compile a pattern buffer, use: 

char *
re_compile_pattern (const char *regex, const int regex_size,
                    struct re_pattern_buffer *pattern_buffer)

regex is the regular expression’s address, regex_size is its length, and pattern_buffer is the pattern buffer’s address.

If re_compile_pattern successfully compiles the regular expression, it returns zero and sets *pattern_buffer to the compiled pattern. It sets the pattern buffer’s fields as follows:

buffer

to the compiled pattern.

syntax

to the current value of re_syntax_options.

re_nsub

to the number of subexpressions in regex.

If re_compile_pattern can’t compile regex, it returns an error string corresponding to a POSIX error code.

Next: , Previous: , Up: GNU Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.1.3 GNU Matching

Matching the GNU way means trying to match as much of a string as possible starting at a position within it you specify. Once you’ve compiled a pattern into a pattern buffer (see GNU Regular Expression Compiling), you can ask the matcher to match that pattern against a string using: 

int
re_match (struct re_pattern_buffer *pattern_buffer,
          const char *string, const int size,
          const int start, struct re_registers *regs)

pattern_buffer is the address of a pattern buffer containing a compiled pattern. string is the string you want to match; it can contain newline and null characters. size is the length of that string. start is the string index at which you want to begin matching; the first character of string is at index zero. See Using Registers, for an explanation of regs; you can safely pass zero.

re_match matches the regular expression in pattern_buffer against the string string according to the syntax of pattern_buffer. (See GNU Regular Expression Compiling, for how to set it.) The function returns -1 if the compiled pattern does not match any part of string and -2 if an internal error happens; otherwise, it returns how many (possibly zero) characters of string the pattern matched.

An example: suppose pattern_buffer points to a pattern buffer containing the compiled pattern for ‘a*’, and string points to ‘aaaaab’ (whereupon size should be 6). Then if start is 2, re_match returns 3, i.e., ‘a*’ would have matched the last three ‘a’s in string. If start is 0, re_match returns 5, i.e., ‘a*’ would have matched all the ‘a’s in string. If start is either 5 or 6, it returns zero.

If start is not between zero and size, then re_match returns -1.

Next: , Previous: , Up: GNU Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.1.4 GNU Searching

Searching means trying to match starting at successive positions within a string. The function re_search does this.

Before calling re_search, you must compile your regular expression. See GNU Regular Expression Compiling.

Here is the function declaration: 

int
re_search (struct re_pattern_buffer *pattern_buffer,
           const char *string, const int size,
           const int start, const int range,
           struct re_registers *regs)

whose arguments are the same as those to re_match (see GNU Matching) except that the two arguments start and range replace re_match’s argument start.

If range is positive, then re_search attempts a match starting first at index start, then at start + 1 if that fails, and so on, up to start + range; if range is negative, then it attempts a match starting first at index start, then at start -1 if that fails, and so on.

If start is not between zero and size, then re_search returns -1. When range is positive, re_search adjusts range so that start + range - 1 is between zero and size, if necessary; that way it won’t search outside of string. Similarly, when range is negative, re_search adjusts range so that start + range + 1 is between zero and size, if necessary.

If the fastmap field of pattern_buffer is zero, re_search matches starting at consecutive positions; otherwise, it uses fastmap to make the search more efficient. See Searching with Fastmaps.

If no match is found, re_search returns -1. If a match is found, it returns the index where the match began. If an internal error happens, it returns -2.

Next: , Previous: , Up: GNU Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.1.5 Matching and Searching with Split Data

Using the functions re_match_2 and re_search_2, you can match or search in data that is divided into two strings.

The function: 

int
re_match_2 (struct re_pattern_buffer *buffer,
            const char *string1, const int size1,
            const char *string2, const int size2,
            const int start,
            struct re_registers *regs,
            const int stop)

is similar to re_match (see GNU Matching) except that you pass two data strings and sizes, and an index stop beyond which you don’t want the matcher to try matching. As with re_match, if it succeeds, re_match_2 returns how many characters of string it matched. Regard string1 and string2 as concatenated when you set the arguments start and stop and use the contents of regs; re_match_2 never returns a value larger than size1 + size2.

The function: 

int
re_search_2 (struct re_pattern_buffer *buffer,
             const char *string1, const int size1,
             const char *string2, const int size2,
             const int start, const int range,
             struct re_registers *regs,
             const int stop)

is similarly related to re_search.

18.6.1.6 Searching with Fastmaps

If you’re searching through a long string, you should use a fastmap. Without one, the searcher tries to match at consecutive positions in the string. Generally, most of the characters in the string could not start a match. It takes much longer to try matching at a given position in the string than it does to check in a table whether or not the character at that position could start a match. A fastmap is such a table.

More specifically, a fastmap is an array indexed by the characters in your character set. Under the ASCII encoding, therefore, a fastmap has 256 elements. If you want the searcher to use a fastmap with a given pattern buffer, you must allocate the array and assign the array’s address to the pattern buffer’s fastmap field. You either can compile the fastmap yourself or have re_search do it for you; when fastmap is nonzero, it automatically compiles a fastmap the first time you search using a particular compiled pattern.

By setting the buffer’s fastmap field before calling re_compile_pattern, you can reuse a buffer data structure across multiple searches with different patterns, and allocate the fastmap only once. Nonetheless, the fastmap must be recompiled each time the buffer has a new pattern compiled into it.

To compile a fastmap yourself, use: 

int
re_compile_fastmap (struct re_pattern_buffer *pattern_buffer)

pattern_buffer is the address of a pattern buffer. If the character c could start a match for the pattern, re_compile_fastmap makes pattern_buffer->fastmap[c] nonzero. It returns 0 if it can compile a fastmap and -2 if there is an internal error. For example, if ‘|’ is the alternation operator and pattern_buffer holds the compiled pattern for ‘a|b’, then re_compile_fastmap sets fastmap['a'] and fastmap['b'] (and no others).

re_search uses a fastmap as it moves along in the string: it checks the string’s characters until it finds one that’s in the fastmap. Then it tries matching at that character. If the match fails, it repeats the process. So, by using a fastmap, re_search doesn’t waste time trying to match at positions in the string that couldn’t start a match.

If you don’t want re_search to use a fastmap, store zero in the fastmap field of the pattern buffer before calling re_search.

Once you’ve initialized a pattern buffer’s fastmap field, you need never do so again—even if you compile a new pattern in it—provided the way the field is set still reflects whether or not you want a fastmap. re_search will still either do nothing if fastmap is null or, if it isn’t, compile a new fastmap for the new pattern.

18.6.1.7 GNU Translate Tables

If you set the translate field of a pattern buffer to a translate table, then the GNU Regex functions to which you’ve passed that pattern buffer use it to apply a simple transformation to all the regular expression and string characters at which they look.

A translate table is an array indexed by the characters in your character set. Under the ASCII encoding, therefore, a translate table has 256 elements. The array’s elements are also characters in your character set. When the Regex functions see a character c, they use translate[c] in its place, with one exception: the character after a ‘\’ is not translated. (This ensures that, the operators, e.g., ‘\B’ and ‘\b’, are always distinguishable.)

For example, a table that maps all lowercase letters to the corresponding uppercase ones would cause the matcher to ignore differences in case.7 Such a table would map all characters except lowercase letters to themselves, and lowercase letters to the corresponding uppercase ones. Under the ASCII encoding, here’s how you could initialize such a table (we’ll call it case_fold): 

for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
  case_fold[i] = i;
for (i = 'a'; i <= 'z'; i++)
  case_fold[i] = i - ('a' - 'A');

You tell Regex to use a translate table on a given pattern buffer by assigning that table’s address to the translate field of that buffer. If you don’t want Regex to do any translation, put zero into this field. You’ll get weird results if you change the table’s contents anytime between compiling the pattern buffer, compiling its fastmap, and matching or searching with the pattern buffer.

18.6.1.8 Using Registers

A group in a regular expression can match a (possibly empty) substring of the string that regular expression as a whole matched. The matcher remembers the beginning and end of the substring matched by each group.

To find out what they matched, pass a nonzero regs argument to a GNU matching or searching function (see GNU Matching and GNU Searching), i.e., the address of a structure of this type, as defined in regex.h: 

struct re_registers
{
  unsigned num_regs;
  regoff_t *start;
  regoff_t *end;
};

Except for (possibly) the num_regs’th element (see below), the ith element of the start and end arrays records information about the ith group in the pattern. (They’re declared as C pointers, but this is only because not all C compilers accept zero-length arrays; conceptually, it is simplest to think of them as arrays.)

The start and end arrays are allocated in one of two ways. The simplest and perhaps most useful is to let the matcher (re)allocate enough space to record information for all the groups in the regular expression. If re_set_registers is not called before searching or matching, then the matcher allocates two arrays each of 1 + re_nsub elements (re_nsub is another field in the pattern buffer; see GNU Pattern Buffers). The extra element is set to -1. Then on subsequent calls with the same pattern buffer and regs arguments, the matcher reallocates more space if necessary.

The function: 

void
re_set_registers (struct re_pattern_buffer *buffer,
                  struct re_registers *regs,
                  size_t num_regs,
                  regoff_t *starts, regoff_t *ends)

sets regs to hold num_regs registers, storing them in starts and ends. Subsequent matches using buffer and regs will use this memory for recording register information. starts and ends must be allocated with malloc, and must each be at least num_regs * sizeof (regoff_t) bytes long.

If num_regs is zero, then subsequent matches should allocate their own register data.

Unless this function is called, the first search or match using buffer will allocate its own register data, without freeing the old data.

The following examples illustrate the information recorded in the re_registers structure. (In all of them, ‘(’ represents the open-group and ‘)’ the close-group operator. The first character in the string string is at index 0.)

18.6.1.9 Freeing GNU Pattern Buffers

To free any allocated fields of a pattern buffer, use the POSIX function regfree: 

void
regfree (regex_t *preg)

preg is the pattern buffer whose allocated fields you want freed; this works because since the type regex_t—the type for POSIX pattern buffers—is equivalent to the type re_pattern_buffer.

regfree also sets preg’s allocated field to zero. After a buffer has been freed, it must have a regular expression compiled in it before passing it to a matching or searching function.

18.6.2 BSD Regex Functions

If you’re writing code that has to be Berkeley Unix compatible, you’ll need to use these functions whose interfaces are the same as those in Berkeley Unix.

• BSD Regular Expression Compiling:  re_comp ()
• BSD Searching:  re_exec ()

Next: , Up: BSD Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.2.1 BSD Regular Expression Compiling

With Berkeley Unix, you can only search for a given regular expression; you can’t match one. To search for it, you must first compile it. Before you compile it, you must indicate the regular expression syntax you want it compiled according to by setting the variable re_syntax_options (declared in regex.h) to some syntax (see Regular Expression Syntax).

To compile a regular expression use: 

char *
re_comp (char *regex)

regex is the address of a null-terminated regular expression. re_comp uses an internal pattern buffer, so you can use only the most recently compiled pattern buffer. This means that if you want to use a given regular expression that you’ve already compiled—but it isn’t the latest one you’ve compiled—you’ll have to recompile it. If you call re_comp with the null string (not the empty string) as the argument, it doesn’t change the contents of the pattern buffer.

If re_comp successfully compiles the regular expression, it returns zero. If it can’t compile the regular expression, it returns an error string. re_comp’s error messages are identical to those of re_compile_pattern (see GNU Regular Expression Compiling).

Previous: , Up: BSD Regex Functions   [Contents][Index]

18.6.2.2 BSD Searching

Searching the Berkeley Unix way means searching in a string starting at its first character and trying successive positions within it to find a match. Once you’ve compiled a pattern using re_comp (see BSD Regular Expression Compiling), you can ask Regex to search for that pattern in a string using: 

int
re_exec (char *string)

string is the address of the null-terminated string in which you want to search.

re_exec returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. It automatically uses a GNU fastmap (see Searching with Fastmaps).

• egrep regular expression syntax:  
• ed regular expression syntax:  
• emacs regular expression syntax:  
• gnu-awk regular expression syntax:  
• grep regular expression syntax:  
• posix-awk regular expression syntax:

18.7.1 ‘awk’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character except the null character.

‘+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\+’

matches a ‘+’

‘\?’

matches a ‘?’.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are invalid. Within square brackets, ‘\’ can be used to quote the following character. Character classes are supported; for example ‘[[:digit:]]’ will match a single decimal digit.

GNU extensions are not supported and so ‘\w’, ‘\W’, ‘\<’, ‘\>’, ‘\b’, ‘\B’, ‘\`’, and ‘\'’ match ‘w’, ‘W’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘b’, ‘B’, ‘`’, and ‘'’ respectively.

Grouping is performed with parentheses ‘()’. An unmatched ‘)’ matches just itself. A backslash followed by a digit matches that digit.

The alternation operator is ‘|’.

The characters ‘^’ and ‘$’ always represent the beginning and end of a string respectively, except within square brackets. Within brackets, ‘^’ can be used to invert the membership of the character class being specified.

‘*’, ‘+’ and ‘?’ are special at any point in a regular expression except:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘(’
  3. After the alternation operator ‘|’

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Regular expression syntaxes   [Contents][Index]

18.7.2 ‘egrep’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character.

‘+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\+’

matches a ‘+’

‘\?’

matches a ‘?’.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are invalid. Within square brackets, ‘\’ is taken literally. Character classes are supported; for example ‘[[:digit:]]’ will match a single decimal digit.

GNU extensions are supported:

  1. ‘\w’ matches a character within a word
  2. ‘\W’ matches a character which is not within a word
  3. ‘\<’ matches the beginning of a word
  4. ‘\>’ matches the end of a word
  5. ‘\b’ matches a word boundary
  6. ‘\B’ matches characters which are not a word boundary
  7. ‘\`’ matches the beginning of the whole input
  8. ‘\'’ matches the end of the whole input

Grouping is performed with parentheses ‘()’. An unmatched ‘)’ matches just itself. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression. The order of group expressions is determined by the position of their opening parenthesis ‘(’.

The alternation operator is ‘|’.

The characters ‘^’ and ‘$’ always represent the beginning and end of a string respectively, except within square brackets. Within brackets, ‘^’ can be used to invert the membership of the character class being specified.

The characters ‘*’, ‘+’ and ‘?’ are special anywhere in a regular expression.

Intervals are specified by ‘{’ and ‘}’. Invalid intervals are treated as literals, for example ‘a{1’ is treated as ‘a\{1’

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Regular expression syntaxes   [Contents][Index]

18.7.3 ‘ed’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character except the null character.

‘\+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘+ and ?’

match themselves.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are invalid. Within square brackets, ‘\’ is taken literally. Character classes are supported; for example ‘[[:digit:]]’ will match a single decimal digit.

GNU extensions are supported:

  1. ‘\w’ matches a character within a word
  2. ‘\W’ matches a character which is not within a word
  3. ‘\<’ matches the beginning of a word
  4. ‘\>’ matches the end of a word
  5. ‘\b’ matches a word boundary
  6. ‘\B’ matches characters which are not a word boundary
  7. ‘\`’ matches the beginning of the whole input
  8. ‘\'’ matches the end of the whole input

Grouping is performed with backslashes followed by parentheses ‘\(’, ‘\)’. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression. The order of group expressions is determined by the position of their opening parenthesis ‘\(’.

The alternation operator is ‘\|’.

The character ‘^’ only represents the beginning of a string when it appears:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘\(’
  3. After the alternation operator ‘\|’

The character ‘$’ only represents the end of a string when it appears:

  1. At the end of a regular expression
  2. Before a close-group, signified by ‘\)’
  3. Before the alternation operator ‘\|’

‘\*’, ‘\+’ and ‘\?’ are special at any point in a regular expression except:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘\(’
  3. After the alternation operator ‘\|’

Intervals are specified by ‘\{’ and ‘\}’. Invalid intervals such as ‘a\{1z’ are not accepted.

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

18.7.4 ‘emacs’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character except newline.

‘+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\+’

matches a ‘+’

‘\?’

matches a ‘?’.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are ignored. Within square brackets, ‘\’ is taken literally. Character classes are not supported, so for example you would need to use ‘[0-9]’ instead of ‘[[:digit:]]’.

GNU extensions are supported:

  1. ‘\w’ matches a character within a word
  2. ‘\W’ matches a character which is not within a word
  3. ‘\<’ matches the beginning of a word
  4. ‘\>’ matches the end of a word
  5. ‘\b’ matches a word boundary
  6. ‘\B’ matches characters which are not a word boundary
  7. ‘\`’ matches the beginning of the whole input
  8. ‘\'’ matches the end of the whole input

Grouping is performed with backslashes followed by parentheses ‘\(’, ‘\)’. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression.

‘*’, ‘+’ and ‘?’ are special at any point in a regular expression except:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘\(’
  3. After the alternation operator ‘\|’

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

18.7.5 ‘gnu-awk’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character.

‘+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\+’

matches a ‘+’

‘\?’

matches a ‘?’.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are invalid. Within square brackets, ‘\’ can be used to quote the following character. Character classes are supported; for example ‘[[:digit:]]’ will match a single decimal digit.

GNU extensions are supported:

  1. ‘\w’ matches a character within a word
  2. ‘\W’ matches a character which is not within a word
  3. ‘\<’ matches the beginning of a word
  4. ‘\>’ matches the end of a word
  5. ‘\b’ matches a word boundary
  6. ‘\B’ matches characters which are not a word boundary
  7. ‘\`’ matches the beginning of the whole input
  8. ‘\'’ matches the end of the whole input

Grouping is performed with parentheses ‘()’. An unmatched ‘)’ matches just itself. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression. The order of group expressions is determined by the position of their opening parenthesis ‘(’.

The alternation operator is ‘|’.

The characters ‘^’ and ‘$’ always represent the beginning and end of a string respectively, except within square brackets. Within brackets, ‘^’ can be used to invert the membership of the character class being specified.

‘*’, ‘+’ and ‘?’ are special at any point in a regular expression except:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘(’
  3. After the alternation operator ‘|’

Intervals are specified by ‘{’ and ‘}’. Invalid intervals are treated as literals, for example ‘a{1’ is treated as ‘a\{1’

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

18.7.6 ‘grep’ regular expression syntax

The character ‘.’ matches any single character.

‘\+’

indicates that the regular expression should match one or more occurrences of the previous atom or regexp.

‘\?’

indicates that the regular expression should match zero or one occurrence of the previous atom or regexp.

‘+ and ?’

match themselves.

Bracket expressions are used to match ranges of characters. Bracket expressions where the range is backward, for example ‘[z-a]’, are invalid. Within square brackets, ‘\’ is taken literally. Character classes are supported; for example ‘[[:digit:]]’ will match a single decimal digit.

GNU extensions are supported:

  1. ‘\w’ matches a character within a word
  2. ‘\W’ matches a character which is not within a word
  3. ‘\<’ matches the beginning of a word
  4. ‘\>’ matches the end of a word
  5. ‘\b’ matches a word boundary
  6. ‘\B’ matches characters which are not a word boundary
  7. ‘\`’ matches the beginning of the whole input
  8. ‘\'’ matches the end of the whole input

Grouping is performed with backslashes followed by parentheses ‘\(’, ‘\)’. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression. The order of group expressions is determined by the position of their opening parenthesis ‘\(’.

The alternation operator is ‘\|’.

The character ‘^’ only represents the beginning of a string when it appears:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘\(’
  3. After a newline
  4. After the alternation operator ‘\|’

The character ‘$’ only represents the end of a string when it appears:

  1. At the end of a regular expression
  2. Before a close-group, signified by ‘\)’
  3. Before a newline
  4. Before the alternation operator ‘\|’

‘\*’, ‘\+’ and ‘\?’ are special at any point in a regular expression except:

  1. At the beginning of a regular expression
  2. After an open-group, signified by ‘\(’
  3. After a newline
  4. After the alternation operator ‘\|’

Intervals are specified by ‘\{’ and ‘\}’. Invalid intervals such as ‘a\{1z’ are not accepted.

The longest possible match is returned; this applies to the regular expression as a whole and (subject to this constraint) to subexpressions within groups.

GNU extensions are not supported and so ‘\w’, ‘\W’, ‘\<’, ‘\>’, ‘\b’, ‘\B’, ‘\`’, and ‘\'’ match ‘w’, ‘W’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘b’, ‘B’, ‘`’, and ‘'’ respectively.

Grouping is performed with parentheses ‘()’. An unmatched ‘)’ matches just itself. A backslash followed by a digit acts as a back-reference and matches the same thing as the previous grouped expression indicated by that number. For example ‘\2’ matches the second group expression.

19 Build Infrastructure Modules

Gnulib has a couple of modules that don’t provide code, but rather extend the GNU Build System. That is, they are convenience facilities for use with GNU Automake (in particular).

• Searching for Libraries:  
• Exported Symbols of Shared Libraries:  
• LD Version Scripts:  
• configmake:  
• warnings:  
• manywarnings:  
• Running self-tests under valgrind:  
• VCS To ChangeLog:  

Next: , Up: Build Infrastructure Modules   [Contents][Index]

19.1 Searching for Libraries

The following macros check for the presence or location of certain C, C++, or Fortran library archive files.

Simple Library Tests

The macros AC_CHECK_LIB, AC_SEARCH_LIBS from GNU Autoconf check for the presence of certain C, C++, or Fortran library archive files. The libraries are looked up in the default linker path—a system dependent list of directories, that usually contains the /usr/lib directory—and those directories given by -L options in the LDFLAGS variable.

Locating Libraries

The following macros, defined in the Gnulib module havelib, search for the location of certain C, C++, or Fortran library archive files and make the found location available to the compilation process and to further Autoconf tests.

Macro: AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(name, [dependencies])

Searches for lib<name> and the libraries corresponding to explicit and implicit dependencies. Sets and AC_SUBSTs the LIB<NAME> and LTLIB<NAME> variables (with <NAME> in upper case) and augments the CPPFLAGS variable by -I options.

This macro should be used when lib<name> is expected to be found.

Macro: AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS(name, [dependencies], [includes], [testcode], [missing-message])

Searches for lib<name> and the libraries corresponding to explicit and implicit dependencies, together with the specified include files and the ability to compile and link the specified testcode. The missing-message defaults to no and may contain additional hints for the user. If found, it sets and AC_SUBSTs HAVE_LIB<NAME>=yes and the LIB<NAME> and LTLIB<NAME> variables (with <NAME> in upper case) and augments the CPPFLAGS variable by -I options, and #defines HAVE_LIB<NAME> to 1. Otherwise, it sets and AC_SUBSTs HAVE_LIB<NAME>=no and LIB<NAME> and LTLIB<NAME> to empty.

These macros assume that when a library is installed in some_directory/lib, its include files are installed in some_directory/include.

The complexities that AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS and AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS deal with are the following:

The macros also set a variable LTLIB<NAME>, that should be used when linking with libtool. Both LTLIB<NAME> and LIB<NAME> contain essentially the same option, but where LIB<NAME> contains platform dependent flags like ‘-Wl,-rpath’, LTLIB<NAME> contains platform independent flags like ‘-R’.

If you, by mistake, use LIB<NAME> instead of LTLIB<NAME> when linking with libtool, you will observe that the binaries created in the build dir will prefer the shared libraries in the installation directories over the shared libraries in the build dir; this can lead to all sorts of build failures, test failures, or crashes!

If you, on the other hand, by mistake, use LTLIB<NAME> instead of LIB<NAME> when linking without libtool, you will observe build failures, because the ‘-R’ options contained in LTLIB<NAME> are not valid options to compilers such as GCC.

Example of using AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS

Suppose you want to use libz, the compression library.

  1. In configure.ac you add the line 
      AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([build-aux])
  AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([z])

    Note that since the AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS invocation modifies the CPPFLAGS, it should precede all tests that check for header files, declarations, structures or types.

  2. To the package’s build-aux directory you add the file config.rpath, also part of the Gnulib havelib module. (gnulib-tool will usually do this for you automatically.)
  3. In Makefile.in you add @LIBZ@ to the link command line of your program. Or, if you are using Automake, you add $(LIBZ) to the LDADD variable that corresponds to your program.

Dependencies

The dependencies list is a space separated list of library names that libname is known to depend upon. Example: If libfooy depends on libfoox, and libfooz depends on libfoox and libfooy, you can write: 

AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([foox])
AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([fooy], [foox])
AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([fooz], [foox fooy])

Explicit dependencies are necessary if you cannot assume that a .la file, created by libtool, is installed. If you can assume that libfooy.la is installed by libtool (and has not been omitted by the package distributor!), you can omit the explicit dependency and just write 

AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([fooy])

This way, you don’t need to know in advance which libraries the needed library depends upon.

Static vs. shared

The macros find the libraries regardless whether they are installed as shared or static libraries.

CPPFLAGS vs. LDFLAGS

The macros determine the directories that should be added to the compiler preprocessor’s search path and to the linker’s search path. For the compiler preprocessor, -I options with the necessary directories are added to the CPPFLAGS variable, for use by the whole package. For the linker, appropriate options are added to the LIB<NAME> and LTLIB<NAME> variables, for use during linking by those programs and libraries that need the dependency on lib<name>. You need to use the value of LIB<NAME> or LTLIB<NAME> in the Makefiles. LTLIB<NAME> is for use with libtool, whereas LIB<NAME> is for when libtool is not involved in linking.

The macros do not check whether the include files and the library found match. If you want to verify this at configure time, one technique is to have a version number in the include files and a version number in the library, like this: 

  #define LIBNAME_VERSION 10203
  extern int libname_version; /* initialized to LIBNAME_VERSION */

and use a test like 

  AC_TRY_RUN([int main () { return libname_version != LIBNAME_VERSION; }])

Bi-arch systems

A bi-arch system is one where

On several types of such systems, for historical reasons, the 32-bit libraries are installed in prefix/lib, whereas the 64-bit libraries are installed in

On such systems, in 64-bit mode, configure will search for the libraries in prefix/lib64 or prefix/lib/64, respectively, not in prefix/lib. A user can adhere to these system-wide conventions by using the ‘--libdir’ option when installing packages. When a user has already installed packages in 64-bit mode using the GNU default ‘--libdir=prefix/lib’, he can make this directory adhere to the system-wide convention by placing a symbolic link:

On glibc systems:

ln -s lib prefix/lib64

On Solaris systems:

ln -s . prefix/lib/64

19.2 Controlling the Exported Symbols of Shared Libraries

The lib-symbol-visibility module allows precise control of the symbols exported by a shared library. This is useful because

There are traditionally three ways to specify the exported symbols of a shared library.

GNU libtool’s -export-symbols option implements the first approach. The script declared.sh from Gnulib can help to produce the list of symbols.

This gnulib module implements the third approach. For this it relies on GNU GCC 4.0 or newer, namely on its ‘-fvisibility=hidden’ command-line option and the “visibility” attribute. (The “visibility” attribute was already supported in GCC 3.4, but without the command line option, introduced in GCC 4.0, the third approach could not be used.)

More explanations on this subject can be found in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility, which contains more details on the GCC features and additional advice for C++ libraries, and in Ulrich Drepper’s paper https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf, which also explains other tricks for reducing the startup time impact of shared libraries.

The gnulib autoconf macro gl_VISIBILITY tests for GCC 4.0 or newer. It defines a Makefile variable @CFLAG_VISIBILITY@ containing ‘-fvisibility=hidden’ or nothing. It also defines as a C macro and as a substituted variable: @HAVE_VISIBILITY@. Its value is 1 when symbol visibility control is supported, and 0 otherwise.

As of 2022, symbol visibility control is supported on

It is not supported on

To use this module in a library, say libfoo, you will do these steps:

  1. Add @CFLAG_VISIBILITY@ or (in a Makefile.am) $(CFLAG_VISIBILITY) to the CFLAGS for the compilation of the sources that make up the library.
  2. Add a C macro definition, say ‘-DBUILDING_LIBFOO’, to the CPPFLAGS for the compilation of the sources that make up the library.
  3. Define a macro specific to your library like this. 
    #if HAVE_VISIBILITY && BUILDING_LIBFOO
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED __attribute__((__visibility__("default")))
#else
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED
#endif

    This macro should be enabled in all public header files of your library.

  4. Annotate all variable, function and class declarations in all public header files of your library with ‘LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED’. This annotation can occur at different locations: between the ‘extern’ and the type or return type, or just before the entity being declared, or after the entire declarator. My preference is to put it right after ‘extern’, so that the declarations in the header files remain halfway readable.

Note that the precise control of the exported symbols will not work with other compilers than GCC >= 4.0, and will not work on systems where the assembler or linker lack the support of “hidden” visibility. Therefore, it’s good if, in order to reduce the risk of collisions with symbols in other libraries, you continue to use a prefix specific to your library for all non-static variables and functions and for all C++ classes in your library.

Note about other compilers: MSVC support can be added easily, by extending the definition of the macro mentioned above, to something like this: 

#if HAVE_VISIBILITY && BUILDING_LIBFOO
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED __attribute__((__visibility__("default")))
#elif (defined _WIN32 && !defined __CYGWIN__) && BUILDING_SHARED && BUILDING_LIBFOO
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED __declspec(dllexport)
#elif (defined _WIN32 && !defined __CYGWIN__) && BUILDING_SHARED
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED __declspec(dllimport)
#else
#define LIBFOO_DLL_EXPORTED
#endif

Here BUILDING_SHARED is a C macro that you have to define. It ought to evaluate to 1 in a build configured with ‘--enable-shared’, or to 0 in a build configured with ‘--disable-shared’. You may use the following ‘configure.ac’ snippet: 

  if test "$enable_shared" = yes; then
    building_shared=1
  else
    building_shared=0
  fi
  AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([BUILDING_SHARED], [$building_shared],
    [Define when --enable-shared is used.])

19.3 LD Version Scripts

The lib-symbol-versions module can be used to add shared library versioning support. Currently, only GNU LD and the Solaris linker supports this.

Version scripts provides information that can be used by GNU/Linux distribution packaging tools. For example, Debian has a tool dpkg-shlibdeps that can determine the minimal required version of each dependency (by looking at the symbol list) and stuff the information into the Debian specific packaging files.

For more information and other uses of version scripts, see Ulrich Drepper’s paper https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

You use the module by importing it to your library, and then add the following lines to the Makefile.am that builds the library: 

if HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--version-script=$(srcdir)/libfoo.map
endif

The version script file format is documented in the GNU LD manual, but a small example would be: 

LIBFOO_1.0 {
  global:
    libfoo_init; libfoo_doit; libfoo_done;

  local:
    *;
};

If you target platforms that do not support linker scripts (i.e., all platforms that doesn’t use GNU LD) you may want to consider a more portable but less powerful alternative: libtool -export-symbols. It will hide internal symbols from your library, but will not add ELF versioning symbols. Your usage would then be something like: 

if HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--version-script=$(srcdir)/libfoo.map
else
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -export-symbols $(srcdir)/libfoo.sym
endif

See the Libtool manual for the file syntax, but a small example would be: 

libfoo_init
libfoo_doit
libfoo_done

To avoid the need for a *.sym file if your symbols are easily expressed using a regular expression, you may use -export-symbols-regex: 

if HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--version-script=$(srcdir)/libfoo.map
else
libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -export-symbols-regex '^libfoo_.*'
endif

For more discussions about symbol visibility, rather than shared library versioning, see the visibility module (see Exported Symbols of Shared Libraries).

19.4 configmake

The configmake module builds a C include file named configmake.h containing the usual installation directory values; for example, those specified by --prefix or --libdir to configure. Each variable is given a #define with an all-uppercase macro name, such as PREFIX and LIBDIR. (Automake cannot create this file directly because the user might override directory values at make time.)

Specifically, the module retrieves values of the variables through configure followed by make, not directly through configure, so that a user who sets some of these variables consistently on the make command line gets correct results.

One advantage of this approach, compared to the classical approach of adding -DLIBDIR=\"$(libdir)\" etc. to AM_CPPFLAGS, is that it protects against the use of undefined variables. That is, if, say, $(libdir) is not set in the Makefile, LIBDIR is not defined by this module, and code using LIBDIR gives a compilation error.

Another advantage is that make output is shorter.

For the complete list of variables which are #defined this way, see the file gnulib/modules/configmake, or inspect your resulting gnulib Makefile.

19.5 warnings

The warnings module allows to regularly build a package with more GCC warnings than the default warnings emitted by GCC. It is often used indirectly through the manywarnings module (see manywarnings).

It provides the following functionality:

To use this module, you need the following:

  1. In configure.ac, use for example 
    gl_WARN_ADD([-Wall], [WARN_CFLAGS])
gl_WARN_ADD([-Wpointer-arith], [WARN_CFLAGS])
  2. In the directories which shall use WARN_CFLAGS, use it in the definition of AM_CFLAGS, like this: 
    AM_CFLAGS = $(WARN_CFLAGS)

    Note that the AM_CFLAGS is used in combination with CFLAGS and before CFLAGS in build rules emitted by Automake. This allows the user to provide CFLAGS that override the WARN_CFLAGS.

‘gl_WARN_ADD([-Werror])’ is intended for developers, and should be avoided in contexts where it would affect ordinary installation builds. The warnings emitted by GCC depend, to some extent, on the contents of the system header files, on the size and signedness of built-in types, etc. Use of ‘-Werror’ would cause frustration to all users on platforms that the maintainer has not tested before the release. It is better if ‘-Werror’ is off by default, and is enabled only by developers. For example, ‘-Werror’ could affect ‘make distcheck’ or ‘configure --enable-gcc-warnings’ as mentioned above.

19.6 manywarnings

The manywarnings module enables many GCC warnings for your package. Here is an example use: 

AC_ARG_ENABLE([gcc-warnings],
  [AS_HELP_STRING([[--enable-gcc-warnings[=TYPE]]],
    [control generation of GCC warnings.  The TYPE 'no' disables
     warnings; 'yes' (default) generates cheap warnings;
     'expensive' in addition generates expensive warnings.])])

AS_IF([test "$enable_gcc_warnings" != no],
  [
   # Set up the list of unwanted warning options.
   nw=
   if test "$enable_gcc_warnings" != expensive; then
     nw="$nw -fanalyzer"
   fi
   nw="$nw -Wbad-function-cast" # Casting a function's result is not more
                                # dangerous than casting any other value.
   nw="$nw -Winline"            # It's OK to not inline.
   nw="$nw -Wsign-compare"      # Too many false alarms.
   nw="$nw -Wstrict-overflow"   # It's OK to optimize strictly.
   nw="$nw -Wsystem-headers"    # Don't warn in system headers.

   # Setup the list of meaningful warning options for the C compiler.
   # The list comes from manywarnings.m4. Warning options that are not
   # generally meaningful have already been filtered out (cf.
   # build-aux/gcc-warning.spec).
   gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC([possible_warning_options])

   # Compute the list of warning options that are desired.
   gl_MANYWARN_COMPLEMENT([desired_warning_options],
                          [$possible_warning_options], [$nw])
   # Compute the list of remaining undesired warning options.
   # Namely those, that were not in manywarnings.m4 because they were
   # already listed in build-aux/gcc-warning.spec; this includes those
   # that are implied by -Wall.
   gl_MANYWARN_COMPLEMENT([remaining_undesired_warning_options],
                          [$nw], [$possible_warning_options])

   # Add the desired warning options to WARN_CFLAGS.
   for w in $desired_warning_options; do
     gl_WARN_ADD([$w])
   done

   # Add the opposites of the remaining undesired warning options to
   # WARN_CFLAGS.
   for w in `echo "$remaining_undesired_warning_options" | sed -e 's/-W/-Wno-/g'`; do
     gl_WARN_ADD([$w])
   done
])

This module sets up many GCC warning options.

When you use it for the first time, it is common practice to do it as follows:

When a new major version of GCC is released, the Gnulib maintainers add the newly available warning options into the gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC macro. You will then enjoy the benefits of the new warnings, simply by updating to the newest Gnulib. If some of the new warnings are undesired, you can add them to the ‘nw’ variable, as described above.

Comments on particular warning flags:

‘-fanalyzer’

The manywarnings module by default uses GCC’s -fanalyzer option, as this issues some useful warnings. (It can also help GCC generate better code.) However, -fanalyzer can greatly slow down compilation, and in programs with large modules it can be so slow as to be unusable, so it is common for configure to disable it unless configure is given an option like --enable-gcc-warnings=expensive.

‘-fstrict-aliasing’

Although the manywarnings module does not enable GCC’s -fstrict-aliasing option, it is enabled by default if you compile with -O2 or higher optimization, and can help GCC generate better warnings.

‘-Wanalyzer-malloc-leak’

The -fanalyzer option generates many false alarms about malloc leaks, which manywarnings suppresses by also using -Wno-analyzer-malloc-leak.

‘-fstrict-flex-arrays’

The manywarnings module by default uses GCC’s -fstrict-flex-arrays option if available, so that GCC can warn about nonportable usage of flexible array members. In a few cases this can help GCC generate better code, so it is not strictly a warning option.

‘-Wsign-compare’

GCC and Clang generate too many false alarms with -Wsign-compare, and we don’t recommend that warning. You can disable it by using gl_WARN_ADD([-Wno-sign-compare]) as illustrated above. Programs using Gnulib generally don’t enable that warning when compiling Gnulib code. If you happen to find a real bug with that warning we’d like to know it.

19.7 Running self-tests under valgrind

For projects written in C or similar languages, running the self-tests under Valgrind can reveal hard to find memory issues. Gnulib supports two ways to make use of Valgrind: one that enables use of Valgrind at configure time, when configure found it to be present; and one at the discretion of the developer.

• Using valgrind automatically:  
• Valgrind options:  
• Using valgrind manually:  
• Valgrind and shell scripts:  

Next: , Up: Running self-tests under valgrind   [Contents][Index]

19.7.1 Using valgrind without developer intervention

The valgrind-tests module searches for Valgrind at configure time and declares the LOG_VALGRIND automake variable for use with automake’s LOG_COMPILER.

After importing the valgrind-tests module to your project, you use it by adding the following to the Makefile.am that runs the self-tests: 

LOG_COMPILER = $(LOG_VALGRIND)

This will run all self-checks under valgrind.

Replace LOG_COMPILER with TESTS_ENVIRONMENT if you are using the old serial test harness. The parallel test harness has been the default in automake since version 1.11.3, but if you are using an older automake, or put ‘serial-tests’ in ‘AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE’/‘AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS’ you would still be using the serial test harness.

If you desire a project-wide decision that valgrind is not enabled by default, but still allow users to enable it with --enable-valgrind-tests you may put the following in configure.ac before gl_INIT. 

gl_VALGRIND_TESTS_DEFAULT_NO

Next: , Previous: , Up: Running self-tests under valgrind   [Contents][Index]

19.7.2 Valgrind options

The VALGRIND variable holds the name of the valgrind binary and some options passed to valgrind. You may provide additional options that are passed to valgrind using the ‘VALGRINDFLAGS’ variable, for example: 

./configure VALGRINDFLAGS="--suppressions=~/local.supp"

Alternatively during build phase: 

make check VALGRINDFLAGS="--suppressions=~/local.supp"

This is useful if you have a valgrind suppression files that are needed to avoid triggering errors for known errors, typically in system libraries.

The VALGRIND variable include options that are useful when valgrind is run non-interactively through the test harness. The default parameters are -q to silence the output, --error-exitcode=1 to cause valgrind errors to be treated as fatal errors, and --leak-check=full to check for memory leaks.

These options can be controlled through the DEFAULT_VALGRINDFLAGS variable. For example, when configuring the package: 

./configure DEFAULT_VALGRINDFLAGS="--quiet"

Alternatively, during the build phase: 

make check DEFAULT_VALGRINDFLAGS="--quiet"

That would have the effect of removing --error-exitcode=1 and --leak-check=full from the default options, thus causing any valgrind errors to be silently ignored, instead of causing fatal test failures.

As a developer you may use the variables in configure.ac before calling gl_INIT, like this if your program has deeply-nested call chains: 

gl_EARLY
...
VALGRINDFLAGS="$VALGRINDFLAGS --num-callers=42"
...
gl_INIT

Note that any user-supplied VALGRINDFLAGS value is preserved, which is usually what you want.

Finally, as a developer you may want to provide additional per-directory options to valgrind and the AM_VALGRINDFLAGS variable can be used for this. For example: 

AM_VALGRINDFLAGS = --suppressions=$(srcdir)/local-valgrind.supp
LOG_COMPILER = $(LOG_VALGRIND)

19.7.3 Using valgrind at the developer’s discretion

In this approach, you define a Makefile.am variable ‘VALGRIND’ (or, more abstractly, ‘CHECKER’), that is usually set to empty. When you have configured and built the package and you decide that you want to run the tests with valgrind, you do so by modifying the definition of ‘VALGRIND’ in the Makefile.

19.7.4 How to use Valgrind with shell scripts

It is not desirable to apply valgrind to shell scripts or other non-binaries, because

There are two ways to avoid this:

However, with this measure in place, binaries invoked through scripts will not be invoked under valgrind. This can be solved by defining environment variables in the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable that are then used by the shell scripts. For example, add the following: 

TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = VALGRIND='$(LOG_VALGRIND)'

And then modify the shell scripts to invoke the binary prefixed with $VALGRIND.

19.8 VCS To ChangeLog

Gnulib provides the ‘vcs-to-changelog’ module to generate an output similar to the GNU ChangeLog format from metadata of source control software such as git. Here’s an example of using ‘vcs-to-changelog’: 

build-aux/vcs-to-changelog.py <from_ref> <to_ref>

where <from_ref> and <to_ref> refer to the range of commits to generate the output.

VCS To ChangeLog currently recognises changes in C source code and can traverse commits in git. Additional source frontends and source control backends may be added to the module. ‘vcs-to-changelog’ takes the following optional arguments:

The quirks file is a python module that must minimally implement a get_project_quirks function that returns an object of type ProjectQuirks or its subclass. The subclass may override the following members of ProjectQuirks:

20 Build Infrastructure Files

Gnulib contains also a small number of files that are not part of modules. They are meant to be imported into packages by means of ‘gnulib-tool --copy-file’, not ‘gnulib-tool --import’. For example, the commands to import the files config.guess and config.sub are 

for file in config.guess config.sub; do
  $GNULIB_TOOL --copy-file build-aux/$file \
    && chmod a+x build-aux/$file \
    || exit $?
done

Packages that don’t use Gnulib can get hold of these files through direct download from Gnulib’s git repository. The commands to do this look as follows: 

for file in config.guess config.sub; do
  echo "$0: getting $file..."
  wget -q --timeout=5 -O build-aux/$file.tmp "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=build-aux/${file};hb=HEAD" \
    && mv build-aux/$file.tmp build-aux/$file \
    && chmod a+x build-aux/$file
  retval=$?
  rm -f build-aux/$file.tmp
  test $retval -eq 0 || exit $retval
done

Next: , Up: Build Infrastructure Files   [Contents][Index]

20.1 Recognizing platforms

build-aux/config.guess
build-aux/config.sub

These files are helper scripts, invoked by the ‘configure’ script. config.guess recognizes the platform on which the script is running, and produces a triplet of the form cpu-type-vendor-operating_system. config.sub receives a possibly abbreviated triplet and produces a canonical triplet for a platform. For more information, see https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html.

It is important that you always include the newest versions of these two files in your tarball, because people who work on emerging platforms otherwise have a hard time building your package.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Build Infrastructure Files   [Contents][Index]

20.2 Utilities for Makefiles

These programs can be used in Makefiles. Some of them are also described in https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Auxiliary-Programs.html.

build-aux/ar-lib
build-aux/compile

These two scripts are necessary for supporting portability to native Windows with the MSVC compiler. compile is a wrapper script that invokes the compiler and provides a command-line interface compatible with Unix compilers. Similarly, ar-lib is a wrapper script that provides a command-line interface compatible with Unix ar.

build-aux/depcomp

This is a helper script, used by Makefile rules generated by GNU Automake. It generates Makefile dependencies while compiling a file.

build-aux/install-sh

This is a helper script, used by Makefile rules generated by GNU Automake. It installs files during the make install phase. In the Makefile, don’t use this file directly; always use $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) or $(INSTALL_DATA) instead.

build-aux/mdate-sh

This script determines the modification time of a file and pretty-prints it. The typical use is to add a “Last modified” line to the documentation.

build-aux/mkinstalldirs

This is a helper script, used by Makefile rules generated by GNU Automake. It creates directories during the make install phase. It is roughly equivalent to ‘mkdir -p’ (except that the latter is not portable). In the Makefile, don’t use this file directly; always use $(MKDIR_P) instead.

build-aux/mktempd

This script creates a temporary directory. It is roughly equivalent to ‘mktemp -d’ (except that the latter is not portable).

build-aux/move-if-change

This script moves a freshly generated file to a destination file, with a special optimization for the case that both files are identical. In this case the freshly generated file is deleted, and the time stamp of the destination file is not changed. This is useful when updating a file that rarely actually changes and which many Makefile targets depend upon.

20.3 Programs for developing in Git checkouts

These programs can help when developing in a Git checkout. The maintainer of the package copies these programs into the version control of the package, so that co-developers can use these tools right away.

top/gitsub.sh

This program manages the subdirectories of a Git checkout that come from other packages, including Gnulib.

top/bootstrap
top/autopull.sh
top/autogen.sh
top/bootstrap-funclib.sh

This is a set of three programs and a function library, that manage the source directory of a package, preparing for the state where ‘./configure’ can be used.

autopull.sh is a program for fetching dependencies that may require network accesses. It manages the Git submodules, including Gnulib – assuming that Gnulib is a Git submodule. It also can fetch the PO files for internationalized packages.

autogen.sh is a program that is meant to be run after autopull.sh. It generates all autogeneratable files that are omitted from version control. Usually this means that it invokes gnulib-tool and automake, that generate files from other files.

bootstrap is a wrapper around both: ./bootstrap --pull is equivalent to ./autopull.sh, ./bootstrap --gen is equivalent to ./autogen.sh. Plain ./bootstrap is equivalent to ./autopull.sh immediately followed by ./autogen.sh; however, because plain ./bootstrap mixes version control management and generation of files in non-obvious ways, it has a number of usability issues for the advanced developer.

bootstrap-funclib.sh is a function library for these three programs. It is not meant to be used directly.

All three programs make use of a configuration file, called bootstrap.conf.

build-aux/bootstrap

This acts like top/bootstrap, except it does not need the companion files autogen.sh, autopull.sh, and bootstrap-funclib.sh so it avoids some clutter in your project’s top level directory. With this approach, you update via ./bootstrap --pull and ./bootstrap --gen instead of via ./autopull.sh and ./autogen.sh. Otherwise this approach acts similarly, and uses the same bootstrap.conf file.

build-aux/bootstrap.conf

This is the template configuration file. After copying it into the top-level directory of your package, you need to customize it.

build-aux/po/Makefile.in.in
build-aux/po/remove-potcdate.sin

These are auxiliary files used by bootstrap. You don’t have to copy them yourself; bootstrap will do that.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Build Infrastructure Files   [Contents][Index]

20.4 Utilities for building documentation

These are auxiliary files for building documentation.

build-aux/texinfo.tex

This file is needed for the conversion of Texinfo-format documentation to PDF, PostScript, or DVI formats. It implements the GNU Texinfo commands on top of plain TeX.

build-aux/x-to-1.in

This file, once processed, gives a program x-to-1, that produces a manual page for a program, by combining a skeleton with the program’s --help output.

Next: , Previous: , Up: Build Infrastructure Files   [Contents][Index]

20.5 Utilities for building libraries

build-aux/declared.sh

This program extracts the declared global symbols of a C header file. It is useful when you want to control the set of symbols exported by a library. See Exported Symbols of Shared Libraries.

Previous: , Up: Build Infrastructure Files   [Contents][Index]

20.6 Utilities for running test suites

build-aux/run-test

This file is a test driver that supports running a test under valgrind.

build-aux/test-driver.diff

This is a patch, against Automake’s test driver, that supports running a test suite on Android.

21 Release Management Files

Gnulib also contain a few scripts that are useful for the release management of a package. They can be used directly off the Gnulib checkout; they don’t need to copied first.

• For building shared libraries:  
• For uploading releases:  

Next: , Up: Release Management Files   [Contents][Index]

21.1 Tools for releasing packages with shared libraries

build-aux/libtool-next-version

This program is a wizard that helps a maintainer update the libtool version of a shared library, without making mistakes in this process. For background documentation, see https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html.

Previous: , Up: Release Management Files   [Contents][Index]

21.2 Tools for uploading release tarballs

build-aux/gnupload

This program is a user-friendly way to upload a release tarball to one of the GNU servers (ftp.gnu.org or alpha.gnu.org). It implements the interface described in https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Automated-FTP-Uploads.html.

build-aux/ncftpput-ftp

This is a helper program that mimics the ncftpput program used by gnupload. If you want to use gnupload but don’t have ncftp installed, copy this file into your $PATH, renaming it to ncftpput.

Appendix A GNU Free Documentation License

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008 
Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
https://fsf.org/

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  1. PREAMBLE

    The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

    This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

    We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

  2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

    This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

    A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

    A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

    The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

    The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

    A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.

    Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

    The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

    The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.

    A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.

    The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

  3. VERBATIM COPYING

    You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

    You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

  4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

    If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

    If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

    If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

    It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

  5. MODIFICATIONS

    You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

    1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
    2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
    3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
    4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
    5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
    6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
    7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
    8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
    9. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
    10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
    11. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
    12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
    13. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
    14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
    15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

    If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

    You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

    You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

    The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

  6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

    You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

    The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

    In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”

  7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

    You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

    You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

  8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

    A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

    If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

  9. TRANSLATION

    Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

    If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

  10. TERMINATION

    You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

  11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

  12. RELICENSING

    “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.

    “CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.

    “Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.

    An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.

    The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: 

  Copyright (C)  year  your name.
  Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
  under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
  or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
  with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
  Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
  Free Documentation License''.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with…Texts.” line with this: 

    with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
    the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
    being list.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.

Sometimes you don’t have to explicitly quote special characters to make them ordinary. For instance, most characters lose any special meaning inside a list (see List Operators). In addition, if the syntax bits RE_CONTEXT_INVALID_OPS and RE_CONTEXT_INDEP_OPS aren’t set, then (for historical reasons) the matcher considers special characters ordinary if they are in contexts where the operations they represent make no sense; for example, then the match-zero-or-more operator (represented by ‘*’) matches itself in the regular expression ‘*foo’ because there is no preceding expression on which it can operate. It is poor practice, however, to depend on this behavior; if you want a special character to be ordinary outside a list, it’s better to always quote it, regardless.

(4)

Regex therefore doesn’t consider the ‘^’ to be the first character in the list. If you put a ‘^’ character first in (what you think is) a matching list, you’ll turn it into a nonmatching list.

(5)

You can’t use a character class for the starting or ending point of a range, since a character class is not a single character.

(6)

Regular expressions are also referred to as “patterns,” hence the name “pattern buffer.”

(7)

A table that maps all uppercase letters to the corresponding lowercase ones would work just as well for this purpose.
