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.
Fix this temporarily. i686 support will go away soon in Cygwin and the
fix can be dropped.

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.
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'.
- 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.
This patch fixed a problem which isn't in newlib, but in projects
incorrectly using symbols from the reserved namespace.
This reverts commit 3ba1bd0d9d.
- Currently, printf("%La\n", 1e1000L) crashes with segv due to lack

- If the number has large integer part and small fraction part is

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.

Use the same name as glibc & gnulib to indicate "newlib itself is
being compiled". This also harmonizes the codebase a bit in that
_LIBC was already used in places instead of _COMPILING_NEWLIB.
Building for bfin-elf, mips-elf, and x86_64-pc-cygwin produces
the same object code.
Some distros enable _FORTIFY_SOURCE by default which upsets building
newlib which itself implements the logic for this define. For example,
building gets.c fails because the includes set up a gets() macro which
expands in the definition.
Since newlib isn't prepared to build itself with _FORTIFY_SOURCE, and
it's not clear if it's even useful, ignore it when building the code.
This also matches what glibc is doing.
The _COMPILING_NEWLIB symbol is for declaring "the code is being
compiled for newlib itself" so headers can change behavior vs the
header being used by users (who should get the normal clean API).
Unfortunately, this symbol is defined inconsistently leading to it
only being useful for a few subsections of the tree.
Pull it out so that it's defined all the time for all targets.
We're seeing a build failure in GNU sim code which is using _P locally
but the ctype.h define clashes with it. Rename these to use the same
symbols that glibc does. They're a bit more verbose, but seems likely
that we'll have fewer conflicts if glibc isn't seeing them.
However, these shortnames are still used internally by ctype modules
to produce pretty concise source code, so move the short names to the
internal ctype_.h where short name conflicts shouldn't show up.
This code looks like it's written to be copied & pasted between diff
C libraries and relies on _LIBC only being used with glibc. This will
break when newlib changes from _COMPILING_NEWLIB to _LIBC, so delete
the glibc-specific logic ahead of time.
ldtoa cuts the number of digits it returns based on a computation of
number of supported bits (144) divide by log10(2). Not only is the
integer approximation of log10(2) ~= 8/27 missing a digit here, it
also fails to take really small double and long double values into
account.
Allow for the full potential precision of long double values. At the
same time, change the local string array allocation to request only as
much bytes as necessary to support the caller-requested number of
digits, to keep the stack size low on small targets.
In the long run a better fix would be to switch to gdtoa, as the BSD
variants, as well as Mingw64 do.

Currently, newlib does not declare strsignal if DEFS_H is defined,
ostensibly to work around a gdb bug. However, gdb itself compiles
even with this ifndef removed, and this makes sim (another part of
gdb) fail to compile.
Since it is not clear exactly what issue this was working around,
this patch just replaces that ifdef with the correct check,
i.e. __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809.
Reported by prodisDown:
In picolibc/newlib/libc/string/strrchr.c
if (i) { while ((s=strchr(s, i))) { last = s; s++; } } else { last = strchr(s, i); }
Value (for example 0xFFFFFF00) in if (i) can pass test and
then be typecasted to char inside strchr(). Then s++ and then
buffer overrun.
It can be fixed by preventive typecast i = (int) (char) i; or
typecasting inside expression if ((char) i).
Fixed by casting to char.

Add specialized rotations RB_RED_ROTATE_LEFT() and RB_RED_ROTATE_RIGHT() which
may be used if we rotate a red child which has a black sibling. Such a red
node must have at least two child nodes so that the following red-black tree
invariant is fulfilled:
Every path from a given node to any of its descendant NULL nodes goes through
the same number of black nodes.
PARENT
/ \
BLACK RED
/ \
BLACK BLACK
Add specialized rotations RB_PARENT_ROTATE_LEFT() and RB_PARENT_ROTATE_RIGHT()
which may be used if the parent node exists and the direction of the child is
known. The specialized rotations are derived from RB_ROTATE_LEFT() and
RB_ROTATE_RIGHT() where the RB_SWAP_CHILD() was replaced by a simple
assignment.
In RB_GENERATE_REMOVE_COLOR() simplify a chain of conditions of the following
pattern
if (x) {
...
} else if (!x) {
...
}
to
if (x) {
...
} else {
...
}
We have
#define RB_ISRED(elm, field) \
((elm) != NULL && RB_COLOR(elm, field) == RB_RED)
So, the RB_ISRED() contains an implicit check for NULL. In
RB_GENERATE_REMOVE_COLOR() the "elm" pointer cannot be NULL in the while
condition. Use RB_COLOR(elm) == RB_BLACK instead.
When newlib is configured with --enable-newlib-reent-check-verify,
the assert macro is already defined in the nano-mallocr.c compile unit.
