2018-09-12overhaul internally-public declarations using wrapper headersRich Felker-2/+0
commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers, allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are "internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc. rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of wrapping the corresponding public headers. parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they correspond to. along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means source files will no longer need to include any special headers to access these features. over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.
2018-09-12for c11 mtx and cnd functions, use externally consistent type namesRich Felker-2/+2
despite looking like undefined behavior, the affected code is correct both before and after this patch. the pairs mtx_t and pthread_mutex_t, and cnd_t and pthread_cond_t, are not mutually compatible within a single translation unit (because they are distinct untagged aggregate instances), but they are compatible with an object of either type from another translation unit (6.2.7 ΒΆ1), and therefore a given translation unit can choose which one it wants to use. in the interest of being able to move declarations out of source files to headers that facilitate checking, use the pthread type names in declaring the namespace-safe versions of the pthread functions and cast the argument pointer types when calling them.
