I was looking to see if there was any more inline asm that could be
removed from mingw-w64. That brought me to vsscanf (and friends). This
looked to be a messy bit of code that could probably use a review.
As I started looking through it, I found what I believe to be a bunch of
flaws (see
https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/133266/turn-a-vsscanf-call-into-a-sscanf-call).
I started trying to clean it up, but eventually decided that the only
way to really make this 'clean' was to re-write it in pure assembly.
Which I have done.
I've got a first draft attached. I don't know that this follows
standard mingw-w64 coding conventions, but it follows Windows coding
standards better than the existing code.
My question is: Now what?
The patch is written. I've tested it and it looks like it works. Where
do we go from here?
Comments and advice are welcome. Remember to regen Makefile.in if you
want to build this.
