Support __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro.
This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro from ISO/IEC TR 24731-2:2010, thereby implementing one possible approach for supporting ISO C feature test macros. Recall that, as described in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00486.html>, these macros work based on the definition when affected headers are included, so cannot be handled once when the first system header is included because that might not be one of the headers the particular macro in question affects. <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00680.html> expresses views on possible approaches for implementation and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00039.html> follows up on that. This patch arranges things so that the relevant condition is __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), following one of the suggestions given. Headers using these macros include <bits/libc-header-start.h>, which in turn includes <features.h>. Headers must define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION before including <bits/libc-header-start.h>, to discourage inclusion outside glibc as requested. __USE_GNU conditions on affected functions are changed to __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), while it's added as an additional alternative on the conditions for functions already enabled for some POSIX versions. It would be possible to convert existing __USE_* conditionals to __GLIBC_USE (with the relevant __GLIBC_USE_* being defined in <features.h> where __USE_* are presently defined), and so make them typo-proof (given -Wundef -Werror in glibc builds) because __GLIBC_USE is used with #if not #ifdef / #if defined. No attempt is made to enforce the rule about diagnosing different definitions of __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ when affected headers are included; such a diagnostic is incompatible with multiple-include guards on the affected headers, unless compiler extensions are added to support it. As previously noted, glibc does not implement all features from TR 24731-2:2010: the functions aswprintf vaswprintf getwdelim getwline are not in glibc, although they would be appropriate to add if someone wished to do so. But I think it makes sense to support the feature test macro if *any* of the controlled features are present in glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * bits/libc-header-start.h: New file. * Makefile (headers): Add bits/libc-header-start.h. * include/features.h (__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__): Document. (__GLIBC_USE): New macro. * libio/stdio.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>. (fmemopen): Declare also if [__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2)]. (open_memstream): Likewise. (vasprintf): Declare if [__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2)], not [__USE_GNU]. (__asprintf): Likewise. (asprintf): Likewise. (__getdelim): Declare also if [__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2)]. (getdelim): Likewise. (getline): Likewise. * string/string.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>. (strdup): Declare also if [__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2)] (strndup): Likewise. * wcsmbs/wchar.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>. (open_wmemstream): Declare also if [__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2)]. * manual/creature.texi (__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__): Document macro.
