manual/stdio: Clarify putc and putwc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The manual entry for `putc' described what "most systems" do instead of
|
||
|
|
describing the glibc implementation and its guarantees. This commit
|
||
|
|
fixes that by warning that putc may be implemented as a macro that
|
||
|
|
double-evaluates `stream', and removing the performance claim.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even though the current `putc' implementation does not double-evaluate
|
||
|
|
`stream', offering this obscure guarantee as an extension to what
|
||
|
|
POSIX allows does not seem very useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The entry for `putwc' is also edited to bring it in line with `putc'.
