New glibc changes causing headmaster grief

[Earnestly]

During the build process when headmaster is invoked it results in the following errors:

/usr/include/netdb.h:608:11: macro AI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED is failed to preprocess.

Oh my system (running a very recent build of glibc) libio.h is now gone, instead of being deprecated. They recommend you use stdio.h instead.

As for the rest, here's the offending lines and a bit of context for the rest:

• netdb.h:

  #  define AI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED \
  __glibc_macro_warning ("AI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED is deprecated") 0x0100
  #  define AI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES \
  __glibc_macro_warning ("AI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES is deprecated") 0x0200

• cdefs.h:

  # define __attribute_nonstring__ __attribute__ ((__nonstring__))

• byteswap.h:

  static __inline __uint16_t
  __bswap_16 (__uint16_t __bsx)
  {
  #if __GNUC_PREREQ (4, 8)
  return __builtin_bswap16 (__bsx);
  #else
  return __bswap_constant_16 (__bsx);
  #endif
  }

• struct_FILE.h:

  
  /* These macros are used by bits/stdio.h and internal headers.  */
  #define __getc_unlocked_body(_fp)                   \
  (__glibc_unlikely ((_fp)->_IO_read_ptr >= (_fp)->_IO_read_end)    \
  ? __uflow (_fp) : *(unsigned char *) (_fp)->_IO_read_ptr++)

define __putc_unlocked_body(_ch, _fp) \

(__glibc_unlikely ((_fp)->_IO_write_ptr >= (_fp)->_IO_write_end) \ ? __overflow (_fp, (unsigned char) (_ch)) \ : (unsigned char) (*(_fp)->_IO_write_ptr++ = (_ch)))

define _IO_EOF_SEEN 0x0010

define __feof_unlocked_body(_fp) (((_fp)->_flags & _IO_EOF_SEEN) != 0)

define _IO_ERR_SEEN 0x0020

define __ferror_unlocked_body(_fp) (((_fp)->_flags & _IO_ERR_SEEN) != 0)

Thanks.

The glibc's headers (<= 2.27??, current stable version at least) have the problem of circular reference between stdio.h and libio.h. So libio.h should be included before malloc.h that includes stdio.h, to control the order of their declarations.

I have not understood and will explore what about the problem has become in the recent version...

I has built latest glibc just now, and noticed that __GLIBC_MINOR__ is still 27, not incremented yet. We can not determine the under-development version by #if at this time (without reuse of the other differences).

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=include/features.h;h=d22c32eee6a98c350cad4267b15355fb271b9818;hb=HEAD#l420

BTW, libio.h may be replaced to struct_FILE.h.

I use glibc built from git master, so these changes are probably coming in the next release version.

__GLIBC_MINOR__ has been incremented now. I'll retry to build...
