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.
Rename struct _reent::_new::_unused members _nextf and _nmalloc to _reserved_3
and _reserved_4, respectively. Rename struct _reent::_new member _unused to
_reserved_5. Provide them only if _REENT_BACKWARD_BINARY_COMPAT is defined.
Remove unused _N_LISTS define.
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.
Added a new global __sglue object for all configurations.
Decouples the global file object list from the _GLOBAL_REENT
structure by using this new object instead of the __sglue member
of _GLOBAL_REENT in __sfp() and _fwalk_sglue().
Replaced _fwalk_reent() with _fwalk_sglue(). The change adds an
extra __sglue object as a parameter, which will allow the passing
of a global __sglue object separate from the __sglue member of
struct _reent. The global __sglue object will be added in a
follow-on patch.
Define the configuration-dependent constant CLEANUP_FILE for use in
cleanup_stdio(). This will reduce duplicate code during the addition
of a dedicated stdio atexit handler in a follow-on patch.
Moved last remaining __sglue initializations from __sinit() to
__sfp(). The move better encapsulates access to __sglue and
facilitates its decoupling from struct _reent in a follow-on patch.
Remove __sinit_lock_acquire() and __sinit_lock_release(). Replace these with
__sfp_lock_acquire() and __sfp_lock_release(), respectively. This eliminates a
potential deadlock issue between __sinit() and __sfp(). Remove now unused
__sinit_recursive_mutex and __lock___sinit_recursive_mutex.
Added _REENT_INIT_SGLUE and _REENT_INIT_SGLUE_ZEROED macros
to initialize __sglue member of struct _reent. This allows
further simplification of __sinit() and facilitates the removal
of __sglue as a member of struct _reent for certain configurations
in a follow-on patch.
Removed duplicate sglue initializations from __sinit(). These
are already initialized in the _REENT_INIT macro in sys/reent.h.
This simplification enables the reduction of _GLOBAL_REENT
dependency in a follow-on patch.
Removed duplicate stdio initializations from __sinit(). These
are already initialized in the _REENT_INIT macro in sys/reent.h.
This simplification enables the reduction of _GLOBAL_REENT
dependency in a follow-on patch.

This fixes a bug introduced in a previous patch (Commit 44b60f0c:
Make __sdidinit unused). Removed intitialization of __cleanup from
__smakebuf_r(). All callers of __smakebuf_r() call __sinit()
through the_CHECK_INIT macro, thus __cleanup is already
initialized. This fix also allows _cleanup_r() to be made static.
Changed its name to cleanup_stdio() and removed its declaration
from local.h.
Rename __sfmoreglue() in sfmoreglue() and make it static. This function is
only used by __sfp() in the same translation unit.
Remove use of register keyword.
[PATCH] newlib: Only call _fputwc_r if ELIX_LEVEL >= 4
(nano-)vfprintf.c is enabled for ELIX_LEVEL >= 1. When _WIDE_ORIENT
is set, its __sprint_r / __sfputs_r functions unconditionally called
_fputwc_r which is only in ELEX_LEVEL >= 4. With this commit,
the _WIDE support in (nano-)vfprintf.c is disabled for ELEX_LEVEL < 4.
This code has not been updated since 2016, and it looks like it has
rotted quite a bit since. It does not build against the current set
of phoenix sources -- I had to hack both the kernel headers and the
newlib headers up to get it to build, and I still have no idea if it
actually links or runs. It seems like the project itself has moved
away from newlib and to its own C library:
https://phoenix-rtos.com/documentation/libc/README.md
So since there's no interest from the phoenix folks to maintain this,
and it has a significant amount of non-standard code that we try to
keep up-to-date (without actually testing it), just punt it all.
The recent makefile reorganization broke the amdgcn port by creating
duplicate __malloc_lock symbols. This patch fixes the problem by renaming
the malloc_support.c file to mlock.c, thus overriding the default symbol
properly. Actually, I'm not sure how this ever worked?
I've had this lying around for probably a year or two at this point.
It just changes all the instance of "errno" from a common symbol to an
extern. I can't offhand recall where the actual definition is, but it
certainly exists in the generic code.
This was disabled as part of the migration away from the cygnus option
as that implied no-dependencies.
We currently have 1-to-1 updates enabled -- if you touch a .c file,
the corresponding .o file will be rebuilt. But if you touch a header
file, none of the files using that get rebuilt.
Integrate the old libm/test/ subdir into the main build. It hasn't
been used in a long time causing the code to rot a bit. I've fixed
some of those, but it still fails for many ports, so it's disabled
by default. People who want to take a closer look can run:
$ make libm/test/test
To help prevent people from missing running this script, integrate it
into the build via maintainer mode.
Also fix the inverted exit status to make this work correctly -- for
some reason, it exited 1 when it worked, and 0 when it failed.
Replace all of the individual autotool steps with a single autoreconf.
This simplifies the documentation greatly, and in the current system,
only takes ~10 seconds to regenerate everything.
Update the developer documentation to cover all the major components
of the current build system. Hopefully this is a fairly complete road
map to everything. I tried to include everything that I wish I knew
when I started hacking on this :P.
Convert all the libc/ subdir makes into the top-level Makefile. This
allows us to build all of libc from the top Makefile without using any
recursive make calls. This is faster and avoids the funky lib.a logic
where we unpack subdir archives to repack into a single libc.a. The
machine override logic is maintained though by way of Makefile include
ordering, and source file accumulation in libc_a_SOURCES.
There's a few dummy.c files that are no longer necessary since we aren't
doing the lib.a accumulating, so punt them.
The winsup code has been pulling the internal newlib ssp library out,
but that doesn't exist anymore, so change that to pull the objects.
Rather than define per-object rules in the Makefile, have small files
that define & include the right content. This simplifies the build
rules, and makes understanding the source a little easier (imo) as it
makes all the subdirs behave the same: you have 1 source file and it
produces 1 object. It's also about the same amount of boiler plate,
without having to define custom build rules that can fall out of sync.
We also realign the free & pvalloc definitions: common code puts these
in malloc.o & valloc.o respectively, not in free.o & pvalloc.o objects.
This will also be important as we merge the libc.a build into the top
dir since it relies on a single flat list of objects for overrides.
The mallopt symbol is defined in tiny-malloc.c, not mallocr.c, but
the Makefile in here tries to compile it out of the latter. This
leads to mallopt never being defined.
The build also creates mallinfo.o & mallopt.o & mallstats.o objects
to override common ones, but the common dir doesn't use these names.
Instead, it places these all in mstats.o.
So move the build define logic to a dedicated file and compile it
directly to make things a bit simpler while fixing the missing func
and aligning objects with the cmomon code.
Rather than define per-object rules in the Makefile, have small files

This will also be important as we merge the libc.a build into the top

Also take the opportunity to clean up the unnecessary header deps in
here. Automake provides dependency generation for free now.
Some awk implementations such as old versions of mawk do not support the
length() function. Use the return value of the POSIX split() function instead.
This file is a little confusing: it provides all of the mallocr logic,
but is compiled multiple times to produce a unique symbol each time.
For example, building mallocr.c with -DDEFINE_FREER produces freer.o
that only defines _free_r(). This is fine for most symbols, but it's
a little confusing when defining mallocr itself -- we produce a file
with the same symbol name, but we still need -DDEFINE_MALLOCR. In
order to move the logic from the build rules to source files, using
mallocr.c both as a multiplexer and for defining a single symbol is a
bit tricky. It's possible (if we add a lot of redundant preprocessor
checks to mallocr.c, or we add complicated build flags just for this
one files), but it's easier if we simply rename this to a dedicated
file. So let's do that.
We do this as a dedicated commit because the next one will create a
new mallocr.c file and git's automatic diff algorithms can handle
trivial renames, but it can't handle renames+creates in the same
commit.
Simplify the build system logic a bit by moving the mallocr.c ->
nano-mallocr.c redirection from the Makefile to the source files.
This allows for consistent object name usage regardless of the
configuration options used in case a machine dir wants to define
its own override.
Since we already set up _LIBC to indicate source files are building
for newlib, we don't need this malloc-specific symbol. Convert it
over to simplify the build a bit.
The current targ-include setup runs `cp` every header file it installs,
in serial. This can be a little noticeable on systems, so cleanup the
logic to rely on cp's ability to copy multiple files to a directory in
a single call.
We still need a check for empty directories with no headers (i.e. the
glob doesn't match anything), so add a helper variable to contain that
logic to reduce the boiler plate a little.
Rather than define per-object rules in the Makefile, have small files
that define & include the right content. This simplifies the build
rules, and makes understanding the source a little easier (imo) as it
makes all the subdirs behave the same: you have 1 source file and it
produces 1 object. It's also about the same amount of boiler plate,
without having to define custom build rules that can fall out of sync.
Some of these rules were already unnecessary as they were compiling a
single source file into the same named object w/out custom flags, and
Automake handles that for us completely.
This will also be important as we merge the libc.a build into the top
dir since it relies on a single flat list of objects for overrides.
Also take the opportunity to clean up the unnecessary header deps in
here. Automake provides dependency generation for free now.
Since POSIX cp requires copying a file to a directory without having
to specify the name explicitly, rely on that to avoid calling basename
on every source file.
We can also drop the stub `true` call if the -f test failed. The use
of `if` already takes care of that in POSIX shell.
This kills off the last configure script under libc/ and folds it
into the top newlib configure script. The a lot of the logic was
already in the top configure script, so move what's left into a
libc/acinclude.m4 file.
I split libg.a out into a sep target from libc.a for the main dir in
commit f2b053f49e ("newlib: separate out
libg from libc"), but missed the multilib dirs. That leads to an
uncommon parallel build failure:
- libc.a rule runs & finishes
- $(BUILD_MULTISUBDIR)/libc.a rule runs
-> failure due to libg.a not yet existing
- libg.a rule runs & finishes
Split the multilib libg rule out from libc too so it can depend on the
main libg directly and avoid this race.
Remove dependency on __sdidinit member of struct _reent to check
object initialization. Like __sdidinit, the __cleanup member of
struct _reent is initialized in the __sinit() function. Checking
initialization against __cleanup serves the same purpose and will
reduce overhead in the __sfp() function in a follow up patch.
The crt0.o was handled in a subdir-by-subdir basis: it would be compiled
in one (e.g. libc/sys/$arch/), then copied up one level (libc/sys/), then
copied up another (libc/) before finally being copied & installed in the
top newlib dir. The libc/sys/ copy was cleaned up, and then the top dir
was changed to copy it directly out of the libc/sys/$arch/ dir. But the
libc/sys/ copy to libc/ was left behind. Clean that up now too.
These headers aren't installed, so use "" includes instead of <> so
we don't search system header paths. This matches the style used
elsewhere in the tree for these local headers, and makes it work
w/out explicit -I flags (as needed with non-recursive make).
Convert all the libm/ subdir makes into the top-level Makefile. This
allows us to build all of libm from the top Makefile without using any
recursive make calls. This is faster and avoids the funky lib.a logic
where we unpack subdir archives to repack into a single libm.a. The
machine override logic is maintained though by way of Makefile include
ordering, and source file accumulation in libm_a_SOURCES.
One thing to note is that this will require GNU Make because of:
libm_a_CFLAGS = ... $(libm_a_CFLAGS_$(subst /,_,$(@D)))
This was the only way I could find to supporting per-dir compiler
settings, and I couldn't find a POSIX compatible way of transforming
the variable content. I don't think this is a big deal as other
Makefiles in the tree are using GNU Make-specific syntax, but I call
this out as it's the only one so far in the new automake code that
I've been writing.
Automake doesn't provide precise control over the output object names
(by design). This is fine by default as we get consistent names in all
the subdirs: libm_a-<source>.o. But this relies on using the same set
of compiler flags for all objects. We currently compile libm/common/
with different optimizations than the rest.
If we want to compile objects differently, we can create an intermediate
archive with the subset of objects with unique flags, and then add those
objects to the main archive. But Automake will use a different prefix
for the objects, and thus we can't rely on ordering to override.
But if we leverage $@, we can turn Automake's CFLAGS into a multiplex
on a per-dir (and even per-file if we wanted) basis. Unfortunately,
since $@ contains /, Automake complains it's an invalid name. While
GNU Make supports this, it's a POSIX extension, so Automake flags it.
Using $(subst) avoids the Automake warning to get a POSIX compliant
name, albeit with a GNU Make extension.
Make this a separate target from libc so that we can migrate libc over
to automake more easily. Having it integrated into the libc target is
difficult to handle when using automake rules which expect a one-to-one
mapping between names & inputs.
When migrating the manual to the top-level, the include order was
sorted by name of the subdir. But this changed the chapter order
of the manual in the process. Change the sorting back to match
existing chapters and update the comments to explain.
Using xxx_LIBADD, xxx_DEPENDENCIES, and EXTRA_xxx_SOURCES is one way of
conditionally including files into a target. But it's meant more for the
cases where the variables added to LIBADD & DEPENDENCIES are constructed
via substitution (e.g. AC_SUBST) or other dynamic methods. With Automake
conditionals, then the much simpler form is to conditionally append to
the xxx_SOURCES variable and let Automake sort everything out.
Commit 8fa73a9f84 changed how fenv.c is
compiled wrt mips16 targets used the wrong variable to add fenv.o to
libm.a. Fix that thinko so it's included in the build again.
The top-level newlib dir already takes care of recursing into the
sys/xxx/include/ subdirs and installing any headers found, so the
rtems subdir doesn't need to do this itself.
Replace the custom build rules (which require copying & pasting from the
current Makefile) with small stub files. This allows us to drop the rules
entirely and let Automake provide everything.
These subdirs don't actually use anything from libm. The common dir
in particular only has 4 header files, and none are included here.
The xstormy16 code has a comment mentioning why this hack is here, but
it refers to code that was removed when its configure script was merged
up a level.
This is used in a bunch of places, but nowhere is it ever set, and
nowhere can I find any documentation, nor can I find any other project
using it. So delete the flags to simplify.
These targets don't actually cross-compile -- they try to pull some
objects out of the host's /lib/libc.a, /lib/libm.a, and /lib/crt0.o
directly and merge them into newlib's own libraries. This is hard
to keep working and impossible to test. Considering the vintage of
such targets, and gcc dropping them many many years ago, drop them
from newlib too. This will make cleaning up the build a lot easier.
The machine/{configure,Makefile} files exist only to fan out to the
specific machine/$arch/ subdir. We already have all that same info
in the phoenix/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive configure and
make calls into it, we can cut off this logic entirely and save the
overhead.
These were never added to the tree, and as we transition from autoconf
to automake, it really wants the latter subdirs to always exist. These
don't, so delete the logic.
The original cut for small arguments at |x|<2**-70 (copied from the
double version) produces that when computing nadj we get a subnormal
number for t*x and thus, the division of pi/subnormal will be INF and
the logarithm of it too, which is wrong as a result for lgammaf in this
range.
The proposed new limit seems to be safe and has been tested to
produce accurate results.

These look like they were just copied & pasted from common/Makefile.am.
The funcs in this dir are all stubs that don't actually call any math
or builtin functions, and a simple compile shows they produce identical
object code. So delete to simplify the build rules.
Correct the overflow limit in the variable o_threshold to be consistent
with the FLT_UWORD_LOG_MAX variable used by the internal implementation
of the expf algorithm itself.
The u_threshold variable has also been modified to be written in the
same format.
Note that this fix improves the situation but does not completely
correct the inconsistencies regarding the overflow and underflow limits
between the expf wrapper (wf_exp.c) and the expf algorithm itself
(ef_exp.c).
Currently these limits are different for the
_FLT_LARGEST_EXPONENT_IS_NORMAL and _FLT_NO_DENORMALS cases as well as
for the case where __OBSOLETE_MATH is not defined (only for the
underflow limit in this case).
This kills off the last configure script under libm/ and folds it
into the top newlib configure script. The vast majority of logic
was already in the top configure script, so move the little that
is left into a libm/acinclude.m4 file.
Make sure we depend on the right name of mkdoc all the time, and that
the rules that need it (e.g. .def files) depend on it.

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.
This was only used by the i?86-pc-linux-gnu target which we've removed,
and even though it's using a "sys/linux/" dir to make it sound like it
only depends on the Linux kernel, it's actually tied to glibc APIs built
on top of Linux. Since the code relies on internal glibc APIs and has
been broken for some time, punt it all. If someone wants to bring it
back, they can try and actually keep the Linux-vs-glibc APIs separate.
This was added 20+ years ago. It seems to have very few (or no users)
as it only works on 32-bit x86 GNU/Linux (i.e. glibc) systems, and even
then only with old versions of glibc. It hasn't compiled in at least 5
years, but most likely been broken for more like 15 years -- it relies
on internal glibc APIs (like linuxthreads), and that code has changed
and been deleted significantly since.
This single target ends up dragging in a lot of non-trivial code that is
hard to keep working, and currently impossible to verify -- the libtool
and iconvdata and sys/linux/ code isn't used by anything else, but ends
up touching just about every build file in the tree. Punt the target so
we can start stripping out all these unique code paths.
This commit by itself just disables the target. We'll start deleting the
individual unused pieces in followups.
Now that we use AC_NO_EXECUTABLES, and we require a recent version of
autoconf, we don't need to define our own copies of these macros. So
switch to the standard AC_PROG_CC.
This logic was added to libc & libm to get it working again after some
reworks in the CPP handling, but now that that's settled, let's move
this to the common newlib configure logic. This will make it easier
to consolidate all the configure calls into the top-level newlib dir.
This does create a lot of noise in the generate scripts, but that's
because of the ordering of the calls, not because of correctness. We
will try to draw that back down in follow up commits as we modernize
the toolchain calls in here.
This code is a bit more convoluted than it needs to be. GPR_SOURCES
is never set to anything, and the automake checks use negative logic
to add the SP & DP source files to dedicated variables that are only
expanded once. Get rid of the unused variable, use normal boolean
logic, and collapse the source settings into a single variable.
This allows building the libc & libm pages in parallel, and drops
the duplication in the subdirs with the chew/chapter settings.
The unused rules in Makefile.shared are left in place to minimize
noise in the change.
This doesn't migrate all the docs, just the libc's manual (pdf/info).
This is to show the basic form of migrating the chew files.
For subdirs that didn't have any docs, I've stripped their settings
for clarity. If someone wanted to suddenly add docs, they can add
the corresponding Makefile.inc files easily.
THe stdio subdir is actually required by the documentation. The
stdio/def is handled dynamically, but libc.texi always expects it
to be included, and fails if it isn't. So making it required when
building docs is safe.
The xdr subdir is handled dynamically, but it doesn't include any
docs, so the dynamic logic isn't (currently) adding any value. So
making it required when building docs is safe.
That leaves: iconv, stdio64, posix, and signal subdirs. The chapters
have a little disclaimer saying they are system-dependent, but even
then, imo having stable manuals regardless of the target is preferable,
and we can add more disclaimer language to these chapters if we want.
This doesn't touch the man page codepaths, just the info/pdf.
Let automake manage whether the objects are included in lib.a. This
fixes failures after to commit 71086e8b2d
("newlib: delete (most) redundant lib_a_CCASFLAGS=$(AM_CCASFLAGS)") due
to automake generating different set of implicit rules, and the code in
here assuming the names of the generated objects.
We've been using both libc_cv_ and newlib_cv_ for our cache vars.
Let's consolidate on newlib_cv_ to avoid conflicts with glibc which
is already using the libc_cv_ prefix.
This isn't strictly necessary, but it makes for much clearer logs as
to what the target is doing, and provides cache vars for anyone who
wants to force the test a different way, and it lets the build cache
its own results when rerunning config.status.
Since commit dcbff9eea7 ("newlib: merge
iconvdata into top-level Makefile"), there is no configure script in
the iconvdata/ subdir, so this call will just issue a warning and not
do anything useful. Punt it.
Restore the call to AC_NO_EXECUTABLES -- I naively assumed in commit
2e9aa5f56c ("newlib: update preprocessor
configure checks") that checking for a preprocessor would not involve
linking code. Unfortunately, autoconf will implicitly check that the
compiler "works" before allowing it to be used, and that involves a
link test, and that fails because newlib provides the C library which
is needed to pass a link test.
There is some code in NEWLIB_CONFIGURE specifically to help mitigate
these, but it's not kicking in here for some reason, so let's just add
the AC_NO_EXECUTABLES call back until we can unwind that custom logic.
Additionally, we have to call AC_PROG_CPP explicitly. This was being
invoked later on, but only in the use_libtool=yes codepath, and that
is almost never enabled.
This code snippet assumed it was only ever run in the top configure
script where srcdir would point to newlib/ which is parallel to the
winsup/ tree. This is incorrect for all of the subdir configure
scripts leading to bad -I flags in $(CC). Switch it over to the
new abs_newlib_basedir which should work in all subdirs.
When we had configure scripts in subdirs, the newlib_basedir value
was computed relative to that, and it'd be the same when used in the
Makefile in the same dir. With many subdir configure scripts removed,
the top-level configure & Makefile can't use the same relative path.
So switch the subdir Makefiles over to abs_newlib_basedir when they
use -I to find source headers.
Do this for all subdirs, even ones with configure scripts and where
newlib_basedir works. This makes the code consistent, and avoids
surprises if the configure script is ever removed in the future as
part of merging to the higher level.
Some of the subdirs were using -I$(newlib_basedir)/../newlib/ for
some reason. Collapse those too since newlib_basedir points to the
newlib source tree already.
When using the top-level configure script but subdir Makefiles, the
newlib_basedir value gets a bit out of sync: it's relative to where
configure lives, not where the Makefile lives. Move the abs setting
from the top-level configure script into acinclude.m4 so we can rely
on it being available everywhere. Although this commit doesn't use
it anywhere, just lays the groundwork.
Commit dd23de27c8 ("newlib: libc: install
CRT0 straight out of subdir") got rid of the libc/sys/ intermediate for
copying the file up, but the top-level newlib/ dir was still expecting
a libc/crt0.o to exist so it could install. Update that to also look
for the crt0 file directly under libc/ like we already do for crt1.
The work to merge libc/machine/ up a dir lost the stub doc targets.
So when libc/ recursed into machine/, it would stop going deeper as
the doc rules were empty. But now that libc/ goes directly into the
libc/machine/$arch/ and those have never had doc stubs, the build
fails. Add a quick hack to the top dir to ignore all machine/$arch/
dirs when generating docs. A follow up series will delete all of
this code as it merges all the doc rules into the top newlib dir.
We use the common config-ml.in for configure, so switch the makefile
over to the common multilib.am. It's almost exactly the same code,
but there are two differences:
* Common code hooks install-exec-local for install-multi, but newlib
doesn't currently install any executables, so that doesn't fire.
Newlib already has install-data-local that inlined install-multi,
so switch that to the common install-multi.
* Common code doesn't provide a check-multi at all. Keep ours for
now. Some day common code might get it. Or not. Who knows.
The machine configure scripts are all effectively stub scripts that
pass the higher level options to its own makefile. There were only
three doing custom tests. The rest were all effectively the same as
the libc/ configure script.
So instead of recursively running configure in all of these subdirs,
generate their makefiles from the top-level configure. For the few
unique ones, deploy a pattern of including subdir logic via m4:
m4_include([machine/nds32/acinclude.m4])
Some of the generated machine makefiles have a bunch of extra stuff
added to them, but that's because they were inconsistent in their
configure libtool calls. The top-level has it, so it exports some
new vars to the ones that weren't already.
The sys configure scripts are almost all effectively stub scripts that
pass the higher level options to its own makefile. The phoenix & linux
ones are a bit more complicated with nested subdirs, so those have been
left alone for now. Plus, I don't really have a way of testing them.
There's no need to have a sys/ subdir just to copy the sys/$arch/crt0.o
up to sys/crt0.o, and then have libc/ copy sys/crt0.o up again. Just
have libc/ refer to sys/$arch/crt0.o directly and drop the intermediate
makefile entirely.
The sys/{configure,Makefile} files exist to fan out to the specific
sys/$arch/ subdir, and to possibly generate a crt0. We already have
all that same info in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive
configure and make calls into it, we can cut off some of this logic
entirely and save the overhead.
For arches that don't have a sys subdir, it means they can skip the
logic entirely.
The sys subdir itself is kept for the crt0 logic, for now. We'll try
and clean that up next.
The machine/{configure,Makefile} files exist only to fan out to the
specific machine/$arch/ subdir. We already have all that same info
in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive configure and
make calls into it, we can cut off this logic entirely and save the
overhead.
For arches that don't have a machine subdir, it means they can skip
the logic entirely. Although there's prob not too many of those.
The machine configure scripts are all effectively stub scripts that
pass the higher level options to its own makefile. The only one doing
any custom tests was nds32. The rest were all effectively the same as
the libm/ configure script.
So instead of recursively running configure in all of these subdirs,
generate their makefiles from the top-level configure. For nds32,
deploy a pattern of including subdir logic via m4:
m4_include([machine/nds32/acinclude.m4])
Even its set of checks are very small -- it does 2 preprocessor tests
and sets up 2 makefile conditionals.
Some of the generated machine makefiles have a bunch of extra stuff
added to them, but that's because they were inconsistent in their
configure libtool calls. The top-level has it, so it exports some
new vars to the ones that weren't already.

overhead.
For arches that don't have a machine subdir, it means they can skip
the logic entirely.
This makes the makefile logic a bit cleaner so we don't have two
files maintaining lists of sources & objects. Since the logic is
tied to cpu capabilities, past those boolean settings down from
the configure logic to the makefile logic.
This will also make it easier to throw away the configure script
in a follow up commit and just keep the makefile.
The nds32 & spu dirs are using compile tests to look for some
preprocessor defines, but we don't need to compile the code,
just preprocess it. So switch to AC_PREPROC_IFELSE.
The sh dir is using a preprocessor test via grep, but let's
switch it to AC_PREPROC_IFELSE too to be consistent.
This should allow us to drop the uncommon AC_NO_EXECUTABLES call.
This was added decades ago, but the commit message lacks any
explanation, and it was unused when it was merged. It's still
unused today. So punt it all.
Generating these files is very cheap, so let's just do it all the time.
This makes the build logic simpler, and keeps errors for slipping in in
codepaths that are not well tested. Creating these files doesn't mean
they'll be included in the manual implicitly.
For example, some of the nano stdio files break documentation because
they don't have any chew directives in them. But no one noticed since
that code path is rarely enabled. So drop the _i and _float def files.
This is already handled by autotools for us automatically. You can
tell as the generated output is exactly the same other than deleting
a few blank lines.
It's unclear why this was added originally, but assuming it was needed
20 years ago, it shouldn't be explicitly required nowadays. Current
versions of autotools already take care of exporting LDFLAGS to the
Makefile as needed (things are actually getting linked). That's why
the configure diffs show LDFLAGS still here, but shifted to a diff
place in the output list. A few dirs stop exporting LDFLAGS, but
that's because they don't do any linking, only compiling, so it's
correct.
As for the use of $ldflags instead of the standard $LDFLAGS, I can't
really explain that at all. Just use the right name so users don't
have to dig into why their setting isn't respected, and then use a
non-standard name instead. Adjust the testsuite to match.
The current newlib multilib logic is almost exactly the same as the
config/multi.m4, and the differences should be minor, so switch over
to that to delete custom logic on ourside.
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.
This will make it easier to move newlib.h to use autoheader directly.
We only want the newlib version defines in our hand curated version
file, _newlib_version.h, not in the template header, newlib.h, so
using AC_DEFINE doesn't make much sense.
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.
Now that we require a recent version of autoconf, we can rely on this
macro working. We shift the call in configure.ac down a little to
help keep the generated diff minimal -- there should be no functional
difference otherwise. This is because the autoconf macros will call
a bunch of standard toolchain macros first, and arguably the current
code is incorrect in how it does its testing.
As the file comments say, this was a backport of an autoconf-2.60 fix,
and shouldn't matter for >autoconf-2.59 versions. Drop it since we use
and require autoconf-2.69 now.
Currently this is only enabled in the top-level as that's the only
place where it seemed to be used. But the libc/sys/phoenix/ dir
also uses this functionality, but fails to explicitly enable it.
Automake workedaround it, but generated warnings. Move the option
to NEWLIB_CONFIGURE so all dirs get it automatically iff they end
up using the option. If they don't use the option, there's no
difference to the generated code.
Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE calls AC_PROG_AWK, and some configure.ac
scripts call it too, we end up testing for awk multiple times. If
we change NEWLIB_CONFIGURE to require the macro instead, then it
makes sure it's always expanded, but only once.
While we're here, do the same thing with AC_PROG_INSTALL since it
is also called by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, although it doesn't currently
result in duplicate configure checks.
The AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro has been deprecated for a while and code
should call LT_INIT with win32-dll instead. Update the calls to match.
The generated code is noisy not because of substantial differences, but
because the order of some macros change (i.e. instead of calling AS and
then CC, CC is called first and then AS).
Since automake already sets per-library CCASFLAGS to $(AM_CCASFLAGS)
by default, there's no need to explicitly set it here.
Many of these dirs don't have .S files in the first place, so the rule
doesn't even do anything. That can easily be seen when Makefile.in has
no changes as a result.
For the dirs with .S files, the custom rules are the same as the pattern
.S.o rules, so this is a nice cleanup.
The only dir that was adding extra flags (newlib/libc/machine/mn10300/)
to the per-library setting can have it moved to the global AM_CCASFLAGS
since the subdir only has one target. Although the setting just adds
extra debugging flags, so maybe it should be deleted in general.
There are a few dirs that we leave the redundant setting in place. This
is to workaround an automake limitation in subdirs that support building
with & w/out libtool:
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Objects-created-both-with-libtool-and-without.html
This matches what the other GNU toolchain projects have done already.
The generated diff in practice isn't terribly large. This will allow
more use of subdir local.mk includes due to fixes & improvements that
came after the 1.11 release series.
The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system
nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for
-export-symbols-regex support. Some nms need specific flags to turn on
BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM.
Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws:
- it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null. Some platforms
reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this
has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a
specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this
error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce
BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything
but an error message out of nm -B. This is fixable by nm'ing *nm
itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it).
- the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the
grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot
reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but
also flags forcing BSD-format output. Worse yet, one such "user" is
the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for
nor specifies any BSD-format flags. So platforms needing BSD-format
flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking
-export-symbols-regex on such platforms. Libtool also needs to
augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally,
augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the
same.
One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been
provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and
otherwise do the path search as usual. (If the nm specified doesn't
work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but
the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.)
(Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where
*that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.)

32 bit Cygwin still exports function calls to support old applications.
E. g., when switching from 16 to 32 bit uid/gid values, new function
like getuid32 have been added and the old getuid function still only
provides 16 bit values. Newly built applications using getuid are
actually calling getuid32.
However, this link magic isn't performed inside Cygwin itself, so if
newlib functions call getuid, they actually call the old getuid, not
the new getuid32. This leads to truncated uid/gid values.

how this leads to problems in posix_spawn.

For some RTEMS multilibs, the FPU and Altivec units are disabled during
interrupt handling. Do not save and restore the corresponding registers in
this case.
Since automake deprecated the INCLUDES name in favor of AM_CPPFLAGS,
change all existing users over. The generated code is the same since
the two variables have been used in the same exact places by design.
There are other cleanups to be done, but lets focus on just renaming
here so we can upgrade to a newer automake version w/out triggering
new warnings.
This is simply reflecting reality: all the subdirs in here are already
using automake-1.11.6, so making it a requirement will allow us to stop
suggesting we might support automake-1.9 or 1.10 (which I'm fairly sure
do not work today).
This is why only acinclude.m4 changes in this patch: the generated files
are exactly the same as the directives here are automake constraints,
not generated code logic.
The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
Add all the effects of 'cygnus' for which there exists an explicit way
to request that behaviour:
* Implied foreign strictness and options no-installinfo, no-dependencies
and no-dist are added to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4.
* macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is added to newlib/acinclude.m4.
* For the implied TEXINFO_TEX of '$(top_srcdir)/../texinfo/texinfo.tex',
an explicit TEXINFO_TEX is always relative to $(srcdir), so write the
same pathname in that form.
This is to prepare for the removal of the automake option '--cygnus'.
Use AM_SILENT_RULES, to enable automake silent rules (by default), if we
are using a version of automake which supports it (>=1.11).
Silent rules can be disabled by configuring with '--disable-silent-rules',
or invoking 'make V=1'.
For ease of reviewing, this patch doesn't contain configure and
Makefile.in regeneration.
Future work: There are a few compilations which are not silenced by
this, as they use custom rules.
- 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.
- Currently, frexpl() supports only the following cases.
1) LDBL_MANT_DIG == 64 or 113
2) 'long double' is equivalent to 'double'
This patch add support for LDBL_MANT_DIG == 53.
This patch fixed a problem which isn't in newlib, but in projects
incorrectly using symbols from the reserved namespace.
This reverts commit 3ba1bd0d9d.
The code accessing the floating point control/status register, namely
#define __cfc1(__fcsr) __asm __volatile("cfc1 %0, $31" : "=r" (__fcsr)
does not compile with mips16. This changed the makefile to pass -mno-mips16 to avoid the following
compiler error:
mips-mti-elf fails with "Error: unrecognized opcode `cfc1 $3,$31'"
- Currently, printf("%La\n", 1e1000L) crashes with segv due to lack
of frexpl() function. With this patch, frexpl() function has been
implemented in libm to solve this issue.
Addresses: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/newlib/2021/018718.html
- If the number has large integer part and small fraction part is
specified in output format, e.g. printf("%.3f", sqrt(2)*1e60);,
valid output digits were insufficient. This patch fixes the issue.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-November/249930.html
reported a regression introduce by using a dynamically sized local
char array in favor of a statically sized array.
Fix this by reverting to a statically sized array, using a small
buffer on the stack for a reasonable number of requested digits, a
big mallocated buffer otherwise. This should work for small targets
as well, given that malloc is used in printf anyway right now.
This is *still* hopefully just a temporary measure, unless somebody
actually provides a new ldtoa.
