* Add feature test macro _ISOC2X_SOURCE.Joseph Myers2019-08-131-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch starts preparation for C2X support in glibc headers by adding a feature test macro _ISOC2X_SOURCE and corresponding __GLIBC_USE (ISOC2X). (I chose to use the newer __GLIBC_USE style for this rather than the older __USE_* macros tested with #ifdef.) As with other such macros, C2X features are also enabled by compiling for a standard newer than C17, or by using _GNU_SOURCE. This patch does not itself enable anything new in the headers for C2X; that is to be done in followup patches. (For example, most of the TS 18661-1 functions should be declared for C2X without any __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ being needed, but the ones that 18661-1 adds to Annex F because of their close relation to IEEE 754 formats do still need the WANT macro in C2X.) Once C2X becomes an actual standard we'll presumably move to using the actual year in the feature test macro and __GLIBC_USE, with some period when both macro spellings are accepted, as was done with _ISOC9X_SOURCE. Tested for x86_64. * include/features.h (_ISOC2X_SOURCE): New feature test macro. Undefine and define to 1 if [_GNU_SOURCE]. (__GLIBC_USE_ISOC2X): New macro. Undefine and redefine depending on [_ISOC2X_SOURCE] and [__STDC_VERSION__ > 201710L]. (__USE_ISOC11): Also define to 1 if [_ISOC2X_SOURCE]. (__USE_ISOC99): Likewise. (__USE_ISOC95): Likewise. * manual/creature.texi (_ISOC2X_SOURCE): Document.

Linux actually has two reserved system call numbers (for getpmsg and putpmsg), but these system calls have never been implemented, and there are no plans to implement them, so this patch replaces the wrappers with the generic stubs. According to <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436349>, the presence of the XSI STREAMS declarations is a minor portability hazard because they are not actually implemented.

* Require GCC 6.2 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2019-02-011-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working purely based on the times at which such requirements have been increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26). Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le. Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.

* strftime: Set the default width of "%Ey" to 2 [BZ #23758]TAMUKI Shoichi2019-01-241-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Japanese locales, strftime's alternative year format (%Ey) produces a year numbered within a time period called an _era_. A new era typically begins when a new emperor is enthroned. The result of "%Ey" is therefore usually a one- or two-digit number. Many programs that display Japanese era dates assume that the era year is two digits wide. To improve how these programs display dates during the first nine years of a new era, change "%Ey" to pad one- digit numbers on the left with a zero. This change applies to all locales. It is expected to be harmless for other locales that use the alternative year format (e.g. lo_LA and th_TH, in which "%Ey" produces the year of the Buddhist calendar) as those calendars' year numbers are already more than two digits wide, and this is not expected to change. This change needs to be in place before 2019-05-01 CE, as a new era is scheduled to begin on that date.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests for a separate patch. In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in 2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down. (If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long double, of course the wording would change at that time.) Tested for x86_64.

* Use gen-as-const.py to process .pysym files.Joseph Myers2018-12-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the gen-py-const.awk variant of gen-as-const, switching to use of gnu-as-const.py (with a new --python option) to process .pysym files (i.e., to generate nptl_lock_constants.py), as the syntax of those files is identical to that of .sym files. Note that the generated nptl_lock_constants.py is *not* identical to the version generated by the awk script. Apart from the trivial changes (comment referencing the new script, and output being sorted), the constant FUTEX_WAITERS, PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS, PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED and PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK are now output as positive rather than negative constants (on x86_64 anyway; maybe not necessarily on 32-bit systems): < FUTEX_WAITERS = -2147483648 --- > FUTEX_WAITERS = 2147483648 < PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = -251662336 < PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = -2147483648 --- > PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = 4043304960 > PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = 2147483648 < PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = -524288 --- > PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = 4294443008 This is because gen-as-const has a cast of the constant value to long int, which gen-py-const lacks. I think the positive values are more logically correct, since the constants in question are in fact unsigned in C. But to reliably produce gen-as-const.py output for constants that always (in C and Python) reflects the signedness of values with the high bit of "long int" set would mean more complicated logic needs to be used in computing values. The more correct positive values by themselves produce a failure of nptl/test-mutexattr-printers, because masking with ~PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS & ~PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP now leaves a bit -1 << 32 in the Python value, resulting in a KeyError exception. To avoid that, places masking with ~ of one of the constants in question are changed to mask with 0xffffffff as well (this reflects how ~ in Python applies to an infinite-precision integer whereas ~ in C does not do any promotions beyond the width of int).

* Use STRFMON_LDBL_IS_DBL instead of __ldbl_is_dbl.Zack Weinberg2018-11-161-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms where long double used to have the same format as double, but later switched to a different format (alpha, s390, sparc, and powerpc), accessing the older behavior is possible and it happens via __nldbl_* functions (not on the API, but accessible from header redirection and from compat symbols). These functions write to the global flag __ldbl_is_dbl, which tells other functions that long double variables should be handled as double. This patch takes the first step towards removing this global flag and creates __vstrfmon_l_internal, which takes an explicit flags parameter. This change arguably makes the generated code slightly worse on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true; right now, on those architectures, it's a compile-time constant; after this change, the compiler could theoretically prove that __vstrfmon_l_internal was never called with a nonzero flags argument, but it would probably need LTO to do it. This is not performance critical code and I tend to think that the maintainability benefits of removing action at a distance are worth it. However, we _could_ wrap the runtime flag check with a macro that was defined to ignore its argument and always return false on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true, if people think the codegen benefits are important. Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
