2017-07-31add _NL_LOCALE_NAME extension to nl_langinfoRich Felker-0/+6
since setlocale(cat, NULL) is required to return the setting for the global locale, there is no standard mechanism to obtain the name of the currently active thread-local locale set by uselocale. this makes it impossible for application/library software to load appropriate translations, etc. unless using the gettext implementation provided by libc, which has privileged access to libc internals. to fill this gap, glibc introduced the _NL_LOCALE_NAME macro which can be used with nl_langinfo to obtain the name. GNU gettext/gnulib code already use this functionality on glibc, and can easily be adapted to make use of it on non-glibc systems if it's available; for other systems they poke at locale implementation internals, which we want to avoid. this patch provides a compatible interface to the one glibc introduced.
2013-10-20fix multiple minor namespace issues in headersRich Felker-0/+4
fcntl.h: AT_* is not a reserved namespace so extensions cannot be exposed by default. langinfo.h: YESSTR and NOSTR were removed from the standard. limits.h: NL_NMAX was removed from the standard. signal.h: the conditional for NSIG was wrongly checking _XOPEN_SOURCE rather than _BSD_SOURCE. this was purely a mistake; it doesn't even match the commit message from the commit that added it.
2013-07-22refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compatRich Felker-1/+2
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
