When fileops.c checks for nullity of the write pointer,
in order to ensure its allocation, before that patch,
wfileops didn't. This was leading to crashes on some cases,
as described by bug 28828.

The minimal sequence to produce the crash was:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <wchar.h>
    int main(int ac, char **av)
    {
            setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IOLBF, 0);
            fgetwc(stdin);
            fputwc(10, stdout); /*CRASH HERE!*/
            return 0;
    }

The line "fgetwc(stdin);" is necessary. It introduces the
bug by setting the flag _IO_CURRENTLY_PUTTING of stdout
indirectly (file wfileops.c, function _IO_wfile_underflow, line 213).

The tests requires a proper Copyright header and to use libsupport (so it handles
test timeout, segfault, or any other error in test itself).  Also, use the proper
indentation.  A skeleton will be something like below:

  return 0;
}

#include <support/test-driver.c>

Keep in mind that using fgetwc without a method to actually input some data
will make the test timeout and fail.

Based on your test I was intrigued on why you need a fgetwc(stdio) to actually
trigger the issue.  The fgetwc(stdio) in fact changed the stdout internal flags
somewhat, which then triggered the issue.

Digging a little bit deeper it seems this snippet is triggering it:

libio/wfileops.c

 201   /* FIXME This can/should be moved to genops ?? */                                     
 202   if (fp->_flags & (_IO_LINE_BUF | _IO_UNBUFFERED))                                     
 203     {
 204       /* We used to flush all line-buffered stream.  This really isn't                  
 205          required by any standard.  My recollection is that                             
 206          traditional Unix systems did this for stdout.  stderr better
 207          not be line buffered.  So we do just that here                                 
 208          explicitly.  --drepper */                                                      
 209       _IO_acquire_lock (stdout);                                                        
 210  
 211       if ((stdout->_flags & (_IO_LINKED | _IO_NO_WRITES | _IO_LINE_BUF))                
 212           == (_IO_LINKED | _IO_LINE_BUF))
 213         _IO_OVERFLOW (stdout, EOF);                                                     
 214  
 215       _IO_release_lock (stdout);                                                        
 216     }

And the FIXME really makes me wonder if this is really ok, the libio/fileops.c
does not contain such snippet.  Removing this code does not trigger any regression
and also fixes the issue.

Should we evaluate to remove it as well then?

Why would we?  It's specified by POSIX.

That's no what comment specifies ("This really isn't required by any
standard").  Do you have any link that describes this behavior?

This refers to the preceding sentence.

Hi Adhemerval, Hi Andreas, Hi all,

I'm going to submit a new version taking your skeleton as a basis.

I added the file named libio/tst-bz28828.input with the understanding
that given its name, the test framework will automatically use it as
input. Can you tell me if it is correct or if I have to add something
some where.

My though about the interaction between stdin and stdout is that it is
sometime needed to get an input to flush the output.

Best regards
José
