endian machines. When long double support was added, the old code was kept
for the regular double code. This code was never used because WIDE_DOUBLE
was always defined in the Makefile. Remove that old code, and conditionalize
the WIDE_DOUBLE code based on if long doubles are different than doubles on
the specific platform.
This is the size of dst, not of src. The size of src is determined
by the address family.
Fix markup while here: .Fa for function arguments, not .Ar which is
for command arguments.
And make the tests work, and exercise all lengths up to 100.
Evidently the previous definition, presumably tightly optimized for
1980s-era compilers and CPUs, was too hard to understand, because it
was incorrectly tested for two decades and broken for years.

Although tzcode still works with C89, bugs found in recent routine
maintenance indicate that bitrot has set in and that in practice
C89 is no longer used to build tzcode. As it is a maintenance
burden, support for C89 is planned to be removed soon. Instead,
please use compilers compatible with C99, C11, C17, or C23.
timegm, which tzcode implemented in 1989, will finally be
standardized 34 years later as part of C23, so timegm is now
supported even if STD_INSPIRED is not defined.
Fix bug in zdump's tzalloc emulation on hosts that lack tm_zone.
(Problem reported by Đoàn Trần Công Danh.)
Fix bug in zic on hosts where malloc(0) yields NULL on success.
(Problem reported by Tim McBrayer for AIX 6.1.)
Fix zic configuration to avoid linkage failures on some platforms.
(Problems reported by Gilmore Davidson and Igor Ivanov.)
Work around MS-Windows nmake incompatibility with POSIX.
(Problem reported by Manuela Friedrich.)
Port mktime and strftime to debugging platforms where accessing
uninitialized data has undefined behavior (strftime problem
reported by Robert Elz).
Check more carefully for unlikely integer overflows, preferring
C23 <stdckdint.h> to overflow checking by hand, as the latter has
had obscure bugs.
The first paragraph could use some rewording. While BRE may be
obsolete, it's still the default for regcomp(3) and the default for
grep(1), sed(1), etc.
Use .Rv where possible. Some manual pages claimed that the error "is
returned", but RTFS and some quick testing indicate that this is wrong.
The commit message from 2003 says that:
Note our current implementation mis-matches [man pages] slightly
(error codes are stuffed into errno, where they should simply be
returned by these calls). This will be addressed shortly.
That hasn't happened in the 20 years, so we might as well make the man
pages reflect the reality.
While here, don't claim that null pointer is zero.
We should probably just pick the wording from POSIX, but that yak is a
bit too big for me to shave at the moment.
Changes to code
zic now supports links to links regardless of input line order.
For example, if Australia/Sydney is a Zone, the lines
Link Australia/Canberra Australia/ACT
Link Australia/Sydney Australia/Canberra
now work correctly, even though the shell commands
ln Australia/Canberra Australia/ACT
ln Australia/Sydney Australia/Canberra
would fail because the first command attempts to use a link
Australia/Canberra that does not exist until after the second
command is executed. Previously, zic had unspecified behavior if
a Link line's target was another link, and zic often misbehaved if
a Link line's target was a later Link line.
Fix line number in zic's diagnostic for a link to a link.
Fix a bug that caused localtime to mishandle timestamps starting
in the year 2438 when reading data generated by 'zic -b fat' when
distant-future DST transitions occur at times given in standard
time or in UT, not the usual case of local time. This occurs when
the corresponding .zi Rule lines specify DST transitions with TO
columns of 'max' and AT columns that end in 's' or 'u'. The
number 2438 comes from the 32-bit limit in the year 2038, plus the
400-year Gregorian cycle. (Problem reported by Bradley White.)
On glibc 2.34 and later, which optionally supports 64-bit time_t
on platforms like x86 where time_t was traditionally 32 bits,
default time_t to 64 instead of 32 bits. This lets functions like
localtime support timestamps after the year 2038, and fixes
year-2038 problems in zic when accessing files dated after 2038.
To continue to limit time_t to 32 bits on these platforms, use
"make CFLAGS='-D_TIME_BITS=32'".
In C code, do not enable large-file support on platforms like AIX
and macOS that no longer need it now that tzcode does not use
off_t or related functions like 'stat'. Large-file support is
still enabled by default on GNU/Linux, as it is needed for 64-bit
time_t support.
In C code, prefer C23 keywords to pre-C23 macros for alignof,
bool, false, and true. Also, use the following C23 features if
available: __has_include, unreachable.
zic no longer works around Qt bug 53071, as the relevant Qt
releases have been out of support since 2019. This change affects
only fat TZif files, as thin files never had the workaround.
zdump no longer modifies the environ vector when compiled on
platforms lacking tm_zone or when compiled with -DUSE_LTZ=0.
This avoid undefined behavior on POSIX platforms.
reallocarray() will be part of the next POSIX release, see
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1218
adapt an errno value to match POSIX expectations
