[PATCH 00/12] printf() fixes

[Alejandro Colomar]

Hello Michael,

Here are some patches related to printf().

Cheers,

Alex

Alejandro Colomar (12):
  dl_iterate_phdr.3: Cast 'ElfN_Word' to 'uintmax_t' for printf()
  malloc_hook.3: Remove unneeded cast, and print 'size_t' with "%zu"
  pthread_getcpuclockid.3: Cast 'time_t' to 'intmax_t' for printf()
  getgrent_r.3: Cast 'gid_t' to 'intmax_t' for printf()
  getpwent_r.3: Cast 'uid_t' to 'intmax_t' for printf()
  rtld-audit.7: Use "%u" rather than "%d" when printing 'unsigned int'
    values
  userfaultfd.2: Use 'PRIx64' rather than "%llx" when printing 64-bit
    fixed-width types
  clock_getres.2: Cast 'time_t' to 'intmax_t' for printf() and fix the
    length modifiers
  open_by_handle_at.2: Use "%u" rather than "%d" when printing 'unsigned
    int' values
  spu_run.2: Cast 'int' to 'unsigned int' when printing with "%x"
  mprotect.2: Use "%p" rather than casting to 'long' when printing
    adresses (pointer values)
  pidfd_open.2: Cast 'short' to 'unsigned int' when printing with "%x"

The commit message is misleading. ElfN_Word is always uint32_t, 
regardless of N. On the other hand, on 64-bit architectures the type of 
p_memsz is Elf64_Xword (i.e., uint64_t), not Elf64_Word.

Thanks for noticing that.  I had doubts while reading the man page.
I think it could be a bit more clear, but maybe it's me that I don't
speak elfic :p

Maybe 'ElfW(Word)' would be more appropriate?

Thanks,

Alex

I wouldn't know what "ElfW(Word)" means.

I'd write "Cast ELF types to uintmax_t" or something.

Much better, yes.  However, it doesn't matter anymore: fixed by this patch:

Casting to long is the historical practive here, and should be sufficient,
don't you think?

Oh -- I see Jakub made a similar comment for patch 08.

Do you want to redraft this patch too?

The thing in patch 08 is that the numbers were modulo very small
numbers, and therefore very small numbers:

> -    printf("%2ldh %2ldm %2lds", (ts.tv_sec % SECS_IN_DAY) / 3600,

In this case it doesn't apply.

It general, the practice of casting time_t to long is wrong. There are 
existing systems that have 64-bit time_t but 32-bit long.

In this particular case, we're measuring CPU time, so there's 
practically no danger of overflow.

I'd either cast it to int (to make the code shortest and simplest) or to 
intmax_t (to be pedantically correct).

Yes, what you say makes sense.

As per the patch from Alex, we'll universally move to intmax_t/uintmax_t casts.

Casting to long is the historical practice here, and should be sufficient,
don't you think? I realize there's an argument for making all of these 
system data type casts intmax_t / uintmax_t. But the counterarguments
(admittedly not compelling), are:

* Some people might still be confined to a pre C-99 world
* Churn (lots of changes)
* (long) is a sufficient cast for all of these types
  (except off_t).

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Michael


Thanks,

Michael

I was casting to (long) until I accidentally met with a cast to
(intmax_t) in ftw.3 (now I realize it was the only one in all of the
pages; lucke me).

I saw there a good point in using those types and tried it to see what
you think about them.  I still haven't sent you a big patchset with
s/(long)/(intmax_t)/ because I was waiting for this discussion :)

>

I guess that people are dealing with very special hardware/software
and can be trusted to understand what the C99 types are and which
pre-C99 do the job for them; intmax_t.3 might also help ;).

If someone doesn't live in such a special world and just doesn't
know the types, it's a good moment to learn them.

> * Churn (lots of changes)

True ...  But if changes are trivial enough, maybe a single big patch
can do it.

> * (long) is a sufficient cast for all of these types
>   (except off_t).

I don't like exceptions very much.  Maybe someone sees (long) all over
the place and thinks 'long' is enough everywhere and misuses it.

Yep, that was a bit of a coincidence!

Well, I said none of my arguments was too compelling... I think that
I'd take one big patch. Perhaps first, could you send me an estimate
of how many pages you think might be changed in the patch.

$ grep -rn "(long)" |wc -l
56

I'd say around 20~30 pages.

BTW, please don't apply the patches about [u]intmax_t from this patchset:
I included them in the big patch so they are all together.

All these numbers are small, so %d and int casts would do the trick.

True.  In this specific example '(int)' would be better.

Re: [PATCH 10/12] spu_run.2: Cast 'int' to 'unsigned int' when printing with "%x"

[Alejandro Colomar]

Hi Michael,

I think this patch of mine should not be applied.

printf() will internally reinterpret the 'int' as 'unsigned int'
anyway, and the behaviour is completely defined AFAIK.

Relevant standard: C18 §6.5.2.2 6

And in the case you do want this patch, I should have written
'unsigned int' in the cast, for consistency.

Thanks,

Alex

Does something similar not also apply as for patch 11, since
the short will be promoted to an int in a variadic argument
list?
