When trying to compile using GCC 10.2 the following warning / error
appeared:

iniparser/iniparser.c: In function ‘iniparser_load’:
iniparser/iniparser.c:616:13: error: ‘sprintf’ arguments 3, 4 may overlap destination object ‘buf’ [-Werror=restrict]
  616 |             sprintf(tmp, "%s:%s", section, key);
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to POSIX and C99 standard using sprintf() on overlapping
buffers may lead to undefined behavior, so using a dedicated buffer for
the destination (first argument to sprintf) is necessary.

While at it:
 - Fixed some indentations
 - Fixed some error handling code paths
   Some resources were not properly cleaned up in error conditions
 - Fixed buffer initializations: The last bytes were never set to zero

Interesting corner of our code base...

Strange, cannot reproduce this report here with

gcc-10 (SUSE Linux) 10.2.1 20200825 [revision
c0746a1beb1ba073c7981eb09f55b3d993b32e5c]

even when explicitly adding -Wrestrict.

We likely first of all want a resync with
https://github.com/ndevilla/iniparser. If there is an upstream issue,
maybe fix there first.

This split-up is just silencing the compiler, right? It does no take
away the possibility that we overrun the target buffer in sprintf
(section+key > ASCIILINESZ). Upstream seems to have addressed that.

But it also does not use snprintf yet. Likely with the argument that
buffer sizes are under full control.

Oh, sorry... I did not recognize that we have an upstream involved. I
will retry with latest upstream version.

Silencing the compiler but overflow is handled (so taken care of) in
iniparser_line. Upstream switched to buffers on the stack in the
meantime, so error handling is simplified a bit.

* [PATCH v2] lib/boilerplate/iniparser: Allow building with GCC 10.2 2020101

From: Florian Bezdeka <florian.bezdeka@siemens.com>

Updating to upstream revision f858275f7f307eecba84c2f5429483f9f28007f8.

The reason for updating was the following compiler error when trying
to compile with GCC 10.2 10.2.1 20201016. As it turned out the problem
was already addressed upstream:

iniparser/iniparser.c: In function ‘iniparser_load’:
iniparser/iniparser.c:616:13: error: ‘sprintf’ arguments 3, 4 may
overlap destination object ‘buf’ [-Werror=restrict]
   616 |             sprintf(tmp, "%s:%s", section, key);
       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I reviewed especially the API changes. Most of them are cleanups only
but two things should be pointed out:

  - The type of the size field of struct _dictionary_ changed from int
    to ssize_t. The only user of this struct is
    lib/analogy/calibration.c which uses this structure for internal
    things only. It is never exposed to any public API so updating is
    OK and fully backward compatible.

  - dictionary_new changed its signature
      from dictionary_new(int size)
      to   dictionary_new(size_t size).
    This function is not part of any public API. So updating does not
    break backward compatibility.
