libstdc++: Add workaround for read(2) EINVAL on macOS and FreeBSD [PR102259]
On macOS and FreeBSD the read(2) system call can return EINVAL for large
sizes, so limit the maximum that we try to read. The calling code in
basic_filebuf::xsgetn will loop until it gets the size it wants, so we don't
need to loop in basic_file::xsgetn, just limit the maximum size.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
PR libstdc++/102259
* config/io/basic_file_stdio.cc (basic_file::xsgetn): Limit n to
_GLIBCXX_MAX_READ_SIZE if that macro is defined.
* config/os/bsd/darwin/os_defines.h (_GLIBCXX_MAX_READ_SIZE):
Define to INT_MAX-1.
* config/os/bsd/freebsd/os_defines.h (_GLIBCXX_MAX_READ_SIZE):
Likewise.
