/***********************************************************************
This file provides alternative functions for several VMS VMS C library
routines which either unacceptable, or incorrect, implementations. They
have been developed and tested under VMS Version 4.4, but indications
are that they apply to earlier versions, back to 3.2 at least. They
should be retested with each new release of VMS C.

The VAX VMS file system record structure has unfortunate consequences
for random access files.
By default, text files written by most system utilities, and languages
other than C, have a variable length record format, in which a 16-bit
character count is aligned on an even-byte boundary in the disk block
b(always 512 bytes in VMS, independent of record and file formats),
followed by <count> bytes of data. Binary files, such as .EXE, .OBJ,
and TeX .DVI and font files, all use a 512-byte fixed record format
which has no explicit length field. No file byte count is stored;
instead, the block count, and the offset of the last data byte in the
last block are recorded in the file header (do ``DUMP/HEADER filespec''
to see it). For binary files with fixed-length records, the last block
is normally assumed to be full, and consequently, file transfer of
binary data from other machines via Kermit, FTP, or DCL COPY from ANSI
tapes, generally fails because the input file length is not a multiple
of 512.
This record organization may be contrasted with the STREAM, STREAM_LF,
and STREAM_CR organizations supported from Version 4.0; in these, disk
blocks contain a continuous byte stream in which nothing, or LF, or CR,
is recognized as a record terminator. These formats are similar to the
Unix and TOPS-20 file system formats which also use continuous byte
streams.
For C, this means that a program operating on a file in record format
cannot count input characters and expect that count to be the same value
as the offset parameter passed to fseek(), which numerous C programs
assume to be the case. The draft ANSI C standard, and Harbison and
Steele's ``C Reference Manual'', emphasize that only values returned by
ftell() should be used as arguments to fseek(), allowing the program to
return to a position previously read or written. UNFORTUNATELY, VMS C
ftell() DOES NOT RETURN A CORRECT OFFSET VALUE FOR RECORD FILES.
Instead, for record files, it returns the byte offset of the start of
the current record, no matter where in that record the current position
may be. This misbehavior is completely unnecessary, since the
replacements below perform correctly, and are written entirely in C.
Another problem is that ungetc(char c, FILE* fp) is unreliable. VMS C
implements characters as signed 8-bit integers (so do many other C
implementations). fgetc(FILE* fp) returns an int, not a char, whose
value is EOF (-1) in the event of end-of-file; however, this value will
also be returned for a character 0xFF, so it is essential to use
feof(FILE *fp) to test for a true end-of-file condition when EOF is
returned. ungetc() checks the sign of its argument c, and if it is
negative (which it will be for 128 of the 256 signed bytes), REFUSES TO
PUT IT BACK IN THE INPUT STREAM, on the assumption that c is really EOF.
This too can be fixed; ungetc() should only do nothing if feof()
indicates a true end-of-file condition. The overhead of this is
trivial, since feof() is actually implemented as a macro which does
nothing more than a logical AND and compare-with-zero.
getchar() waits for a <CR> to be typed when stdin is a terminal; the
replacement vms_getchar() remedies this.
Undoubtedly other deficiencies in VMS C will reveal themselves.
VMS read() returns only a single disk block on each call. Its
replacment, vms_read(), will return the requested number of bytes, if
possible.
There are also a few Unix standard functions which are unimplemented.
qsort() is not provided. getlogin() and unlink() have VMS equivalents
provided below. tell() is considered obsolete, since its functionality
is available from lseek(), but it is still seen in a few programs, so is
provided below. getenv() fails if the name contains a colon; its
replacement allows the colon.
In the interest of minimal source perturbation, replacements for VMS
functions are given the same names, but prefixed "vms_". For
readability, the original names are preserved, but are converted to
upper-case:
#define FTELL vms_ftell
#define FSEEK vms_fseek
#define GETCHAR vms_getchar
#define GETENV vms_getenv
#define UNGETC vms_ungetc
These are only defined to work correctly for fixed length 512-byte
records, and no check is made that the file has that organization (it is
possible, but not without expensive calls to fstat(), or access to
internal library structures).

/***********************************************************************
TeXindex uses the standard Unix library function qsort() for
record sorting. Unfortunately, qsort() is not a stable sorting
algorithm, so input order is not necessarily preserved for equal
sort keys. This is important, because the sorting is
case-independent, while the actual entries may not be. For
example, the input
\entry{i}{22}{{\CODE{i}}}
\entry{i}{42}{{\CODE{i}}}
\entry{I}{41}{{\CODE{I}}}
\entry{I}{42}{{\CODE{I}}}
produces
\initial {I}
\entry {{\CODE{i}}}{22}
\entry {{\CODE{I}}}{41--42}
\entry {{\CODE{i}}}{42}
instead of the correct
\initial {I}
\entry {{\CODE{i}}}{22, 42}
\entry {{\CODE{I}}}{41--42}
We therefore provide this stable shellsort replacement for
qsort() based on the code given on p. 116 of Kernighan and
Ritchie, ``The C Programming Language'', Prentice-Hall (1978).
This has order N**1.5 average performance, which is usually
slower than qsort(). In the interests of simplicity, we make no
attempt to handle short sequences by alternative methods.
