2022-10-19remove LFS64 symbol aliases; replace with dynamic linker remappingRich Felker-2/+0
originally the namespace-infringing "large file support" interfaces were included as part of glibc-ABI-compat, with the intent that they not be used for linking, since our off_t is and always has been unconditionally 64-bit and since we usually do not aim to support nonstandard interfaces when there is an equivalent standard interface. unfortunately, having the symbols present and available for linking caused configure scripts to detect them and attempt to use them without declarations, producing all the expected ill effects that entails. as a result, commit 2dd8d5e1b8ba1118ff1782e96545cb8a2318592c was made to prevent this, using macros to redirect the LFS64 names to the standard names, conditional on _GNU_SOURCE or _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE. however, this has turned out to be a source of further problems, especially since g++ defines _GNU_SOURCE by default. in particular, the presence of these names as macros breaks a lot of valid code. this commit removes all the LFS64 symbols and replaces them with a mechanism in the dynamic linker symbol lookup failure path to retry with the spurious "64" removed from the symbol name. in the future, if/when the rest of glibc-ABI-compat is moved out of libc, this can be removed.
2018-09-12remove spurious inclusion of libc.h for LFS64 ABI aliasesRich Felker-2/+1
the LFS64 macro was not self-documenting and barely saved any characters. simply use weak_alias directly so that it's clear what's being done, and doesn't depend on a header to provide a strange macro.

2011-06-06fix handling of d_name in struct direntRich Felker-4/+3
basically there are 3 choices for how to implement this variable-size string member: 1. C99 flexible array member: breaks using dirent.h with pre-C99 compiler. 2. old way: length-1 string: generates array bounds warnings in caller. 3. new way: length-NAME_MAX string. no problems, simplifies all code. of course the usable part in the pointer returned by readdir might be shorter than NAME_MAX+1 bytes, but that is allowed by the standard and doesn't hurt anything.
2011-04-11fix errno handling in scandir:Rich Felker-2/+1
1. saved errno was not being restored, illegally clearing errno to 0. 2. no need to backup and save errno around free; it will not touch except perhaps when the program has already invoked UB...
