The configuration files in this directory are structured using the
syntax defined in the ../README file. They make use of the compilation
environments declared in ../compilation.cfg, and are processed by the
symbols test.
We have organized the files by header file, that is the tests for symbols
declared in a header file (e.g. <unistd.h> appear in a file based on that
header file's name (e.g. unistd_h.cfg.) This is purely for convenience.
Within these various declarations, we have the following field types:
<envs> This is a list of compilation environments where the symbol
should be legal. To indicate that the symbol must not be legal
an environment group can be prefixed with "-". For example,
"SUS+ -SUSv4+" indicates a symbol that is legal in all SUS
environments up to SUSv3, and was removed in SUSv4 and subsequent
versions of SUS. As you can see, we can list multiple environments
or environment groups, and we can add or remove to previous groups
with subsequent ones.
<name> This is a symbol name. It follows the rules for C symbol names.
<header> This is a header file, for example, unistd.h. Conventionally,
the header files used should match the file where the test is
declared.
<type> This is a C type. Function types can be declared without their
names, e.g. "void (*)(int)". Structures (e.g. "struct stat") and
pointer types (e.g. "pthead_t *") are legal as well.
Here are the types of declarations in these files:
type | <name> | <header> | <envs>
Tests for a C type with <name>. The test verifies that a variable with
this type can be declared when the <header> is included.
value | <name> | <type> | <header> | <envs>
Tests for a value named <name>, of type <type>. The test attempts to
assign the given value to a scratch variable declared with the given
type. The value can be a macro or other C symbol.
define | <name> | <value> | <header> | <envs>
Tests for a definition named <name>. The test verifies that the
pre-processor sees the definition. If the <value> entry is not
empty then the check also verifies that there is strict equality
between the pre-processor value and it. Only strict equality checks
are supported at this time.
func | <name> | <type> | <type> [; <type> ]... | <header> | <envs>
Tests whether a function <name>, returning the first <type>, and
taking arguments of following <type> values, is declared. Note that
the argument types are separated by semicolons. For varargs style
functions, leave out the ... part. For function declarations
that have no declared arguments, either void can specified, or
the type list can be omitted.
Examples:
type | size_t | sys/types.h | ALL
value | NULL | void * | stdlib.h | ALL
define | thread_local | | threads.h | -ALL +C11
define | __alignas_is_defined | 1 | threads.h | -ALL +C11
func | strnlen | int | const char *; int | string.h | ALL
