2019-07-02libbb: reduce the overhead of single parameter bb_error_msg() callsJames Byrne
Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d43707 ("'simple' error message functions by Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message(). This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(), bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the corresponding 'simple' version. Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal circumstances. This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c, libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c, networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter logging variants exist. The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4): Arm: -92 bytes MIPS: -52 bytes PPC: -1836 bytes x86_64: -938 bytes Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h) because it made these files larger on MIPS.

It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit. Basically it means that you cannot portably use more that 32 option chars in one call anyway... Make it explicit.

things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've been doing for the last couple days. And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)

Comments from Vladimir Oleynik influenced the final patch, and I also ripped out the in-file changelog since it belongs here. At the time, it said: /* Apr 15, 2004 Matthew S. Wood (mwood@realmsys.com) * * Implement '-b' (backup) flag. * Implement '-S' (backup suffix) flag. * * * Mar 16, 2003 Manuel Novoa III (mjn3@codepoet.org) * * Fixed bug involving -n option.
