2015-09-01realpath: allocate memory when null pointer givenPeter Seebach
When I trimmed the spurious free()s for the new lower-allocation path strategy, I forgot to look for cases where I was relying on the allocation, such as realpath(path, NULL). Signed-off-by: Peter Seebach <peter.seebach@windriver.com>
2015-08-20Drop the allocation in pseudo_fix_path/pseudo_root_path/etc.Peter Seebach
Instead of allocating (and then freeing) these paths all the time, use a rotating selection of buffers of fixed but probably large enough size (the same size that would have been the maximum anyway in general). With the exception of fts_open, there's no likely way to end up needing more than two or three such paths at a time. fts_open dups the paths since it could have a large number and need them for a while. This dramatically reduces (in principle) the amount of allocation and especially reallocation going on. Signed-off-by: Peter Seebach <peter.seebach@windriver.com>

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X 10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases. There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
