By default, Newlib uses a huge object of type struct _reent to store
thread-specific data. This object is returned by __getreent() if the
__DYNAMIC_REENT__ Newlib configuration option is defined.
The reentrancy structure contains for example errno and the standard input,
output, and error file streams. This means that if an application only uses
errno it has a dependency on the file stream support even if it does not use
it. This is an issue for lower end targets and applications which need to
qualify the software according to safety standards (for example ECSS-E-ST-40C,
ECSS-Q-ST-80C, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178, DO-330, DO-333).
If the new _REENT_THREAD_LOCAL configuration option is enabled, then struct
_reent is replaced by dedicated thread-local objects for each struct _reent
member. The thread-local objects are defined in translation units which use
the corresponding object.
For the exit processing only members of _GLOBAL_REENT were used by default. If
the _REENT_GLOBAL_ATEXIT option was enabled, then the data structures were
provided through dedicated global objects. Make this option the default.
Remove the option. Rename struct _reent members _atexit and _atexit0 to
_reserved_6 and _reserved_7, respectively. Provide them only if
_REENT_BACKWARD_BINARY_COMPAT is defined.
Add the --enable-newlib-reent-binary-compat configure option. This option is
disabled by default. If enabled, then unused members in struct _reent are
preserved to maintain the structure layout.
This was only ever used for i?86-pc-linux-gnu targets, but that's been
broken for years, and has since been dropped. So clean this up too.
This also deletes the funky objectlist logic since it only existed for
the libtool libraries. Since it was the only thing left in the small
Makefile.shared file, we can punt that too.
Now that we require a recent version of autoconf, we can rely on this
macro working. This change was already made to libm, but these other
dirs were missed as I didn't notice it being duplicated in 3 places.
Now that newlib.hin has been brought up to date and all of its defines
are produced by configure, we can switch it to using autoheader without
manual editing. This relies on a few pieces:
* Moving the header & footer into configure.ac via AH_TOP & AH_BOTTOM.
* Running a post-process step on newlib.h to delete all the defines we
didn't export ourselves. Basically, anything without a _ prefix.
This will leave behind some spurious comments in newlib.h related to
the defines we filtered out, but should be harmless, so it's probably
not worth the effort to construct a more complicated sed expression to
also strip those out.
The list of iconv to/from defines is hand maintained in newlib.hin.
Lets leverage mkdeps.pl to generate this list automatically from the
list of known encodings. The newlib.hin list is up-to-date, so the
list in iconv.m4 matches the list already generated.
This was added to configure, but never to the header file. Nothing
uses this currently, so it's not a big deal (as all the dynamic logic
is via automake conditionals), but might as well restore it now to
keep autoheader output in sync.
Sync these back from newlib.hin to configure.ac, and touchup some of
the forms to be consistent (like being full sentences). Also use the
AC_DEFINE-vs-AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED macros correctly. This will make it
easier to re-enable autoheader for managing newlib.hin.
The acconfig.h header was used to run autoheader and then manually
sync the output into newlib.hin. Based on how the files have fallen
out of sync (with newlib.hin having many more templates), this has
not been run in a long time, and attempts to do so now would break
newlib.hin.
Further, if you try to run autoheader now, it will automatically
replace _newlib_version.hin since it's the first entry in the call
to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
So let's throw away acconfig.h entirely. It only had 2 slightly
better comments, and the rest were either worse, missing, or stale.
This has the side benefit of avoiding autoheader warning about the
deprecated use of acconfig.h since newer autoconf only wants macro
calls in configure.ac.
This define is only used by newlib internally, so stop exporting it
as HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY since this can conflict with defines packages
use themselves.
We don't really need to add _ to HAVE_INIT_FINI too since it isn't
exported in newlib.h, but might as well be consistent here.
We can't (easily) add this to newlib_cflags like HAVE_INIT_FINI is
because this is based on a compile-time test in the top configure,
not on plain shell code in configure.host. We'd have to replicate
the test in every subdir in order to have it passed down.
- This patch uses gdtoa imported from OpenBSD if newlib configure
option "--enable-newlib-use-gdtoa=no" is NOT specified. gdtoa
provides more accurate output and faster conversion than legacy
ldtoa, while it requires more heap memory.
- change sys/reent.h to replace _REENT_CHECK_DEBUG with
_REENT_CHECK_VERIFY which when set asserts that any memory
allocated is non-NULL and calls __assert_func directly
- add new --enable-newlib-reent-check-verify configure option
- add support for configure.host to specify default for
newlib_reent_check_verify
- add _REENT_CHECK_VERIFY macro support to acconfig.h and newlib.hin
In order to avoid the year 2038 problem, define time_t to a signed
integer with at least 64-bits. The type for time_t can be forced to
long with the --enable-newlib-long-time_t configure option or with the
_USE_LONG_TIME_T system configuration define.

At the moment when targeting bare-metal targets or systems without
definition for the locking primitives newlib, uses dummy empty macros.
This has the advantage of reduced size and faster implementation but
does not allow the application to retarget the locking routines.
Retargeting is useful for a single toolchain to support multiple systems
since then it's only at link time that you know which system you are
targeting.
This patch adds a new configure option
--enable-newlib-retargetable-locking to use dummy empty functions
instead of dummy empty macros. The default is to keep the current
behavior to not have any size or speed impact on targets not interested
in this feature. To allow for any size of lock, the _LOCK_T type is
changed into pointer to struct _lock and the _init function are tasked
with allocating the locks. The platform being targeted must provide the
static locks. A dummy implementation of the locking routines and static
lock is provided for single-threaded applications to link successfully
out of the box.
To ensure that the behavior is consistent (either no locking whatsoever
or working locking), the dummy implementation is strongly defined such
that a partial retargeting will cause a doubly defined link error.
Indeed, the linker will only pull in the file providing the dummy
implementation if it cannot find an implementation for one of the
routine or lock.
Currently, the newlib version information needs to be updated in two places:
- newlib/acinclude.m4
- newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h
The goal of this patch is to:
- supply a single location for defining the newlib version
information: newlib/acinclude.m4
- define __NEWLIB__, __NEWLIB_MINOR__ and __NEWLIB_PATCHLEVEL__
This is in line with what gcc does for its version macros. See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html
This patch moves the definition of the _NEWLIB_VERSION, __NEWLIB__
and __NEWLIB_MINOR__ macros from newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h,
to the newly generated newlib/_newlib_version.h file. Additionally,
the __NEWLIB_PATCHLEVEL__ macro was created, for completeness.
In order to stay backwards compatible, newlib/_newlib_version.h gets
included by newlib/newlib.h and newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h.
Note: This patch does _not_ include the modifications to the following
