If memory allocation fails in json_c_set_serialization_double_format or
json_object_copy_serializer_data then return with an error value and
preserve previous values without overriding them with NULL.
Most of these sites support HTTPS (some forward to HTTPS when accessing
the HTTP versions). Use HTTPS directly if supported.
Some URLs led to 404 error pages. Adjusted the links to point to
new locations.
I did not adjust the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop link because it seems
that this software is not available anymore. Instead of removing the
link entirely I kept it there in case it helps someone to find the
software on archived websites.
You can see that sprintbuf does not return an error but length is still
the same, i.e. the string "string too long" has not been appended.
I would like to add this as a unit test but it really depends on the
operating system if printbuf_memset() would fail if not enough memory is
available or not.
It is possible to have a printbuf with "gaps", i.e. areas within the
print buffer which have not been initialized by using printbuf_memset.
Always clear memory in such cases.
Example:
```
struct printbuf *pb = printbuf_new();
printbuf_memset(pb, 10, 'a', 2);
```
In this case pb->buf[0] is '\0' but pb->buf[1] up to pb->buf[9] are
not set. The length would be 12 due to successful printbuf_memset.
Systems without vasprintf fall back to implementation in header file
vasprintf_compat.h. This version could run into heap overflow issues
with very long arguments or formats provoking a lot of output.
The vsnprintf function returns a negative value if more than INT_MAX
characters would be written since its int return type could not
handle this (and %n couldn't handle it either).
Before testing for a possible error value the additional char for
\0 is already added. A -1 error code would not be detected.
Increment only after implicitly casting to an unsigned value to avoid
signed integer overflow if INT_MAX has been returned.
Use va_copy to duplicate the original ap argument for multiple uses
on non-WIN32 systems. At least with glibc the test suite would fail
because the arguments are not reset after leaving the vsnprintf call.
Removed support for apparently very old glibc versions which do not
comply with vsnprintf standard descriptions. It breaks support for
modern ones which are not forced to return -1 in case of error. The
standard specifies merely "a negative value".
How to reproduce:
- Use a system without vasprintf
- Alternatively remove -D_GNU_SOURCE from CMakeLists.txt
- Compile and run:

Close file on error path.
The file was only be closed when there was no error and
was being left open when there was an error. By moving
the close(fd) statement out of the if-clause, the file
can be close regardless if there is an error or not.
After the file is closed, it can be checked for errors.

json_object_copy_serializer_data(): add assertion
This makes Coverity Scan happier since it believes that the initial
check ``if (!src->_userdata && !src->_user_delete)`` could mean that
src->_user_data may be nullptr.
Current behaviour is perfectly valid, since wrap-over upon overflow is
well defined behaviour for unsigned types, but it is nevertheless nice to be
able to build with -fsanitize=undefined,unsigned-integer-overflow
There is no significant effect on the generated assembly as can be seen
on the diff of objdump -d output on a optimized build (the compiler
just decided to switch the order of a comparison):
Cause the cmake include dirs to also have ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/json-c, so downstream packages that use cmake to link against json-c can choose whether to include headers as just e.g. #include <json_object.h>, if they care to do so.
Update the README to better explain this, and make a few other tweaks.
Add linkhash accessor functions (lh_table_head(), lh_entry_next(), etc...) to pave the way for making the lh_table and lh_entry structure opaque in the future.
Update the docs to mark all members of those structures deprecated, and
suggest what to use instead.

Really use prefix JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_*
This change introduces JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY
as a replacement of JSON_C_OBJECT_KEY_IS_CONSTANT.
The description of json_object_object_add_ex tells to
look at the flags JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_* but it is not
for JSON_C_OBJECT_KEY_IS_CONSTANT.
From the point of vue of a developper using json-c,
the function json_object_object_add_ex is mainly used,
not the hash facility, it seems more natural to provide
a regular naming of prefix JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY.
The failure path taken in the event of printbuf_new() returning NULL
calls free() on tok->stack after already having freed tok. Swap the
order of the two calls to fix an obvious memory access violation.
This is to fix the behavior that might've changed between older versions of clang-format, I'm not sure.
Version 10 tries to put the bracket on the same line as case without this.
Some users may not want to included it in their build/system. So allow a
cmake symbol to disable it.
A user can do 'cmake -DDISABLE_JSON_POINTER=ON <json_c_root_dir>' and
disable the json_pointer functionality. That saves about 17 KB (on an
x86_64) machine. This may be useful on smaller embedded systems; even
though the saving would be fewer kilobytes.
One thing that also needs to change a bit, is that the 'json.h' be
autogenerated via cmake, in order to conditionally include that
"json_pointer.h" file.

fix compilation with clang
Fixes the following warning:
json_pointer.c:230:7: warning: implicit declaration of function
'vasprintf' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
rc = vasprintf(&path_copy, path_fmt, args);
The array_list_new2 function, which is externally reachable through
json_object_new_array_ext, does not check if specified initial size
actually fits into memory on 32 bit architectures.
It also allows negative values, which could lead to an overflow on these
architectures as well. I have added test cases for these situations.
While at it, also protect array_list_shrink against too large
empty_slots argument. No test added because it takes a huge length
value, therefore a lot of items within the array, to overflow the
calculation. In theory this affects 64 bit sytems as well, but since the
arraylist API is not supposed to be used by external applications
according to its header file, the call is protected due to int
limitation of json_object_array_shrink.
