Bruno Haible 836e045706 Support non-blocking pipe I/O in write() on native Windows.
* lib/unistd.in.h (write): Enable replacement also if
GNULIB_UNISTD_H_NONBLOCKING is 1.
* lib/write.c: Enable replacement also if GNULIB_NONBLOCKING.
(rpl_write): When failing to write on a non-blocking pipe, change
errno from ENOSPC to EAGAIN.
* lib/stdio.in.h (fprintf, fputc, fputs, fwrite, printf, putc,
putchar, puts, vfprintf, vprintf): Enable replacement also if
GNULIB_STDIO_H_NONBLOCKING is 1.
* lib/stdio-write.c: Enable replacements also if GNULIB_NONBLOCKING.
(CLEAR_ERRNO, HANDLE_ENOSPC): New macros.
(CLEAR_LastError, HANDLE_ERROR_NO_DATA): New macros, extracted from
CALL_WITH_SIGPIPE_EMULATION.
(CALL_WITH_SIGPIPE_EMULATION): Use them.
* m4/nonblocking.m4: New file.
* m4/write.m4 (gl_FUNC_WRITE): Enable REPLACE_WRITE also if required
for non-blocking I/O support.
* m4/unistd_h.m4 (gl_UNISTD_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize
GNULIB_UNISTD_H_NONBLOCKING.
* m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H): Enable REPLACE_STDIO_WRITE_FUNCS also if
required for non-blocking I/O support.
(gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize GNULIB_STDIO_H_NONBLOCKING.
* modules/nonblocking (Files): Add m4/nonblocking.m4,
lib/stdio-write.c, m4/asm-underscore.m4.
(Depends-on): Add stdio, unistd.
(configure.ac): Invoke gl_NONBLOCKING_IO. Define GNULIB_NONBLOCKING.
Set GNULIB_STDIO_H_NONBLOCKING, GNULIB_UNISTD_H_NONBLOCKING.
* modules/unistd (Makefile.am): Substitute GNULIB_UNISTD_H_NONBLOCKING.
* modules/stdio (Makefile.am): Substitute GNULIB_STDIO_H_NONBLOCKING.
* doc/posix-functions/fprintf.texi: Mention 'nonblocking' module and
problem with non-blocking pipes.
* doc/posix-functions/fputc.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/fputs.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/fwrite.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/printf.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/putc.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/putchar.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/puts.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/vfprintf.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/vprintf.texi: Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/write.texi: Likewise.

Gnulib module: printf-posix or stdio, nonblocking, sigpipe
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{printf-posix}:
@itemize
@item
This function does not support size specifiers as in C99 (@code{hh}, @code{ll},
@code{j}, @code{t}, @code{z}) on some platforms:
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9, Cygwin 1.5.24, mingw, BeOS.
@item
printf of @samp{long double} numbers is unsupported on some platforms:
mingw, BeOS.
@item
printf @code{"%f"}, @code{"%e"}, @code{"%g"} of Infinity and NaN yields an
incorrect result on some platforms:
AIX 5.2, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11, mingw.
@item
This function does not support the @samp{a} and @samp{A} directives on some
platforms:
glibc-2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.0, AIX 5.2, HP-UX 11,
IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, BeOS.
@item
This function does not support the @samp{F} directive on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9,
Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, BeOS.
@item
This function does not support the @samp{ls} directive on some platforms:
OpenBSD 4.0, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.6, Cygwin 1.5.x, Haiku.
@item
This function does not support precisions in the @samp{ls} directive correctly
on some platforms:
Solaris 11 2010-11.
@item
This function does not support format directives that access arguments in an
arbitrary order, such as @code{"%2$s"}, on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, mingw, BeOS.
@item
This function doesn't support the @code{'} flag on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, Cygwin 1.5.24, mingw.
@item
This function behaves incorrectly when a @samp{-} flag and a negative width
are specified together, on some platforms:
HP-UX 10.20.
@item
printf @code{"%010f"} of NaN and Infinity yields an incorrect result (padded
with zeroes) on some platforms:
MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, AIX 5.2, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw.
@item
This function does not support precisions larger than 512 or 1024 in integer,
floating-point and pointer output on some platforms:
Solaris 10/x86, mingw, BeOS.
@item
This function mishandles large floating point precisions
(for example, formatting 1.0 with @samp{"%.511f"})
on some platforms:
Solaris 10.
@item
This function can crash in out-of-memory conditions on some platforms:
MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0.

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio} or @code{printf-posix}, together with module @code{nonblocking}:
@itemize
@item
When writing to a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is full, this function fails
with @code{errno} being set to @code{ENOSPC} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on some
platforms:
mingw.

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio} or @code{printf-posix}, together with module @code{sigpipe}:
@itemize
@item
When writing to a pipe with no readers, this function fails, instead of
obeying the current @code{SIGPIPE} handler, on some platforms:
mingw.
