* overhaul internally-public declarations using wrapper headersRich Felker2018-09-121-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers, allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are "internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc. rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of wrapping the corresponding public headers. parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they correspond to. along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means source files will no longer need to include any special headers to access these features. over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.
* fix shm_open wrongly being cancellableRich Felker2013-07-201-1/+6

* overhaul sem_openRich Felker2012-09-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | this function was overly complicated and not even obviously correct. avoid using openat/linkat just like in shm_open, and instead expand pathname using code shared with shm_open. remove bogus (and dangerous, with priorities) use of spinlocks. this commit also heavily streamlines the code and ensures there are no failure cases that can happen after a new semaphore has been created in the filesystem, since that case is unreportable.
* clean up, bugfixes, and general improvement for shm_open/shm_unlinkRich Felker2012-09-301-9/+28
| | | | | | | 1. don't make non-cloexec file descriptors 2. cancellation safety (cleanup handlers were missing, now unneeded) 3. share name validation/mapping code between open/unlink functions 4. avoid wasteful/slow syscalls
* implement POSIX shared memoryRich Felker2011-03-031-0/+21
