From 385f67eb2254edb1fb4cf523e5e3d5a8f123d72c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 16:15:14 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] git-compat-util: avoid redefining system function names MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Our git-compat-util header defines a few noop wrappers for system functions if they are not available. This was originally done with a macro, but in 15b52a44e0 (compat-util: type-check parameters of no-op replacement functions, 2020-08-06) we switched to inline functions, because it gives us basic type-checking. This can cause compilation failures when the system _does_ declare those functions but we choose not to use them, since the compiler will complain about the redeclaration. This was seen in the real world when compiling against certain builds of uclibc, which may leave _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS unset, but still declare flockfile() and funlockfile(). It can also be seen on any platform that has setitimer() if you choose to compile without it (which plausibly could happen if the system implementation is buggy). E.g., on Linux: $ make NO_SETITIMER=IWouldPreferNotTo git.o CC git.o In file included from builtin.h:4, from git.c:1: git-compat-util.h:344:19: error: conflicting types for ‘setitimer’; have ‘int(int, const struct itimerval *, struct itimerval *)’ 344 | static inline int setitimer(int which UNUSED, | ^~~~~~~~~ In file included from git-compat-util.h:234: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/time.h:155:12: note: previous declaration of ‘setitimer’ with type ‘int(__itimer_which_t, const struct itimerval * restrict, struct itimerval * restrict)’ 155 | extern int setitimer (__itimer_which_t __which, | ^~~~~~~~~ make: *** [Makefile:2714: git.o] Error 1 Here I think the compiler is complaining about the lack of "restrict" annotations in our version, but even if we matched it completely (and there is no way to match all platforms anyway), it would still complain about a static declaration following a non-static one. Using macros doesn't have this problem, because the C preprocessor rewrites the name in our code before we hit this level of compilation. One way to fix this would just be to revert most of 15b52a44e0. What we really cared about there was catching build problems with precompose_argv(), which most platforms _don't_ build, and which is our custom function. So we could just switch the system wrappers back to macros; most people build the real versions anyway, and they don't change. So the extra type-checking isn't likely to catch bugs. But with a little work, we can have our cake and eat it, too. If we define the type-checking wrappers with a unique name, and then redirect the system names to them with macros, we still get our type checking, but without redeclaring the system function names.
