Do not include <limits.h>, <stdio.h>, <sys/types.h>,
<stdlib.h>, <unistd.h>, "pathmax.h".
Instead, include "xgetcwd.h" (first) and "getcwd.h".
(INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE): Remove.
(xgetcwd): Rely on getcwd, since we now depend on a reliable one.
(xgetcwd): Set errno correctly when failing.
Work around Solaris 9 bug: getcwd sets errno==ERANGE even though
the failure is actually due to a PATH_MAX problem.
fix the HAVE_GETCWD_NULL code to behave more like the
!HAVE_GETCWD_NULL code used to.
Include "xalloc.h".
(xgetcwd): Do not return NULL when memory is exhausted; instead,
invoke xalloc_die.
like the HAVE_GETCWD_NULL code.
Include pathmax.h if not HAVE_GETCWD.
Do not include xalloc.h.
(INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE): New symbol.
Do not use xmalloc / xrealloc, since the caller is responsible for
handling errors. Preserve errno around `free' during failure.
Do not overrun buffer when using getwd.
Include stdlib.h and unistd.h if available.
Include xalloc.h.
(xmalloc, xstrdup, free): Remove decls.
(xgetcwd): Don't assume sizes fit in unsigned.
Check for overflow when computing sizes.
Simplify reallocation code.
than 1024, return a memory chunk of least possible size, instead
of size PATH_MAX + 2. In the loop, increment the size proportionally.
Use free/xmalloc instead of xrealloc to avoid copying for very long paths.
