the w+ mode is specified to "truncate the buffer contents". like most of fmemopen, exactly what this means is underspecified. mode w and w+ of course implicitly 'truncate' the buffer if a write from the initial position is flushed, so in order for this part of the text about w+ not to be spurious, it should be interpreted as requiring something else, and the obvious reasonable interpretation is that the truncation is immediately visible if you attempt to read from the stream or the buffer before writing/flushing. this interpretation agrees with reported conformance test failures.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
