2013-07-22move register_t and u_int64_t (back) to alltypesRich Felker-2/+5
during the header refactoring, I had moved u_int64_t out of alltypes under the assumption that we could just use long long everywhere. however, it seems some broken applications make inconsistent mixed use of u_int64_t and uint64_t, resulting in build errors when the underlying type differs.
2013-07-22refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compatRich Felker-7/+3
the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in. this commit is intended to have no functional changes except: - exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require - changing the C++ name mangling for some types - fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed) - fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64 - making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical) in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly, and only at build-time, not runtime. the following changes were made in the interest of moving non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve application compatibility: - netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t) - netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h - sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval) - sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t) - langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item) for the types in stdint.h: - types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of the alltypes system. - fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch. and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes; - mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t - FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE - DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream - locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct - pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only - fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t - fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t - idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX) - nl_catd has been changed from long to void * - siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed - sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t - stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack - suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs - [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs - dev_t has been made unsigned summary of tests that have been performed against these changes: - nsz's libc-test (diff -u before and after) - C++ ABI check symbol dump (diff -u before, after, glibc) - grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes - built gcc 3.4.6
2013-04-02re-add useconds_trofl0r-0/+1
this type was removed back in 5243e5f1606a9c6fcf01414e , because it was removed from the XSI specs. however some apps use it. since it's in the POSIX reserved namespace, we can expose it unconditionally.
2012-09-07default features: make musl usable without feature test macrosRich Felker-0/+2
the old behavior of exposing nothing except plain ISO C can be obtained by defining __STRICT_ANSI__ or using a compiler option (such as -std=c99) that predefines it. the new default featureset is POSIX with XSI plus _BSD_SOURCE. any explicit feature test macros will inhibit the default. installation docs have also been updated to reflect this change.
2012-06-04_GNU_SOURCE is supposed to imply _LARGEFILE64_SOURCERich Felker-1/+1
this is ugly and stupid, but now that the *64 symbol names exist, a lot of broken GNU software detects them in configure, then either breaks during build due to missing off64_t definition, or attempts to compile without function declarations/prototypes. "fixing" it here is easier than telling everyone to add yet another feature test macro to their builds.
2012-05-22support _BSD_SOURCE feature test macroRich Felker-1/+1
patch by Isaac Dunham. matched closely (maybe not exact) to glibc's idea of what _BSD_SOURCE should make visible.
2012-05-04add *64 junk for sys/*.h headersRich Felker-0/+9
2012-02-01apparently gnu caddr_t is supposed to be char *, not unsigned longRich Felker-1/+1
this type should never be used anyway, but some old junk uses it..
2011-04-11cleanup types stuff in headers, fix missing u_int*_t in sys/types.hRich Felker-7/+9
2011-04-10add some ugly legacy type names in sys/types.h (u_char etc.)Rich Felker-0/+8
2011-03-14remove some old cruft from sys/types.hRich Felker-1/+0
2011-02-20include sys/sysmacros.h from sys/types.h when _GNU_SOURCE is definedRich Felker-0/+1
2011-02-17reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.hRich Felker-0/+14
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.
