2018-09-12fix issues from public functions defined without declaration visibleRich Felker-0/+2
policy is that all public functions which have a public declaration should be defined in a context where that public declaration is visible, to avoid preventable type mismatches. an audit performed using GCC's -Wmissing-declarations turned up the violations corrected here. in some cases the public header had not been included; in others, a feature test macro needed to make the declaration visible had been omitted. in the case of gethostent and getnetent, the omission seems to have been intentional, as a hack to admit a single stub definition for both functions. this kind of hack is no longer acceptable; it's UB and would not fly with LTO or advanced toolchains. the hack is undone to make exposure of the declarations possible.
2014-03-18use syscall_arg_t for arguments in public syscall() functionRich Felker-7/+7
on x32, this change allows programs which use syscall() with pointers or 64-bit values as arguments to work correctly, i.e. without truncation or incorrect sign extension. on all other supported archs, syscall_arg_t is defined as long, so this change is a no-op.
2012-09-07cleanup src/linux and src/misc trees, etc.Rich Felker-0/+19
previously, it was pretty much random which one of these trees a given function appeared in. they have now been organized into: src/linux: non-POSIX linux syscalls (possibly shard with other nixen) src/legacy: various obsolete/legacy functions, mostly wrappers src/misc: still mostly uncategorized; some misc POSIX, some nonstd src/crypt: crypt hash functions further cleanup will be done later.
