2019-06-21remove implicit include of sys/sysmacros.h from sys/types.hRich Felker-1/+0
this reverts commit f552c792c7ce5a560f214e1104d93ee5b0833967, which exposed the sysmacros.h macros (device major/minor calculations) for BSD and GNU profiles to mimic an unintentional glibc behavior some code depended on. glibc has deprecated and since removed them as the resolution to bug #19239, so it makes no sense for us to keep this behavior. affected code should all have been fixed by now, and if it's not yet fixed it needs to be for use with modern glibc anyway.
2014-09-05fix macros for LFS *64_t types in sys/stat.h, sys/types.h, glob.hSzabolcs Nagy-1/+0
there is no blksize64_t (blksize_t is always long) but there are fsblkcnt64_t and fsfilcnt64_t types in sys/stat.h and sys/types.h. and glob.h missed glob64_t.
2014-05-30fix POSIX namespace pollution in sys/types.hSzabolcs Nagy-10/+6
int8_t, u_int8_t, etc types are moved under _BSD_SOURCE
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.
