    refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compat · 9448b051
    Rich Felker 提交于
    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
