2013-07-22undefine internal-use type macros at the end of alltypes.hRich Felker-0/+4
this patch is something of a compromise for a compatibility regression discovered after the header refactoring: libtiff uses _Int64 for its own use. this is absolutely wrong, invalid C, and should not be supported, but it's also frustrating for users when code that used to work suddenly breaks. rather than leave the breakage in place or change musl internals to accommodate broken software, I've found a change that makes the problem go away and improves musl. by undefining these macros at the end of alltypes.h, the temptation to use them in other headers is removed. (for example, I almost used _Int64 in sys/types.h to define u_int64_t rather than adding it back to alltypes.h.) by confining use of these macros to alltypes.h, we keep it easy to go back and change the implementation of alltypes later, if needed.
2013-07-22move register_t and u_int64_t (back) to alltypesRich Felker-0/+2
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.
2013-07-22fix regression in size of nlink_t (broken stat struct) on x86_64Rich Felker-1/+1
rather than moving nlink_t back to the arch-specific file, I've added a macro _Reg defined to the canonical type for register-size values on the arch. this is not the same as _Addr for (not-yet-supported) 32-on-64 pseudo-archs like x32 and mips n32, so a new macro was needed.
2013-07-22make regoff_t and regex_t match C++ ABIRich Felker-0/+1
for regoff_t, it's impossible to match on 64-bit archs because glibc defined the type in a non-conforming way. however this change makes the type match on 32-bit archs.
2013-07-22make pthread_key_t unsigned to match ABIRich Felker-1/+1
2013-07-22make pthread attribute types structs, even when they just have one fieldRich Felker-3/+3
this change is to get the right tags for C++ ABI matching. it should have no other effects.
2013-07-22refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compatRich Felker-0/+65
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
