RE: Y2038: GCC gthr-posix.h weakref symbol invoking function has impact on time values

Here issue is weakref symbol in gcc not using the __asm_ function pointed by pthread.h instead its calling directly ___pthread_cond_timedwait which is exposed by version_symbol in pthread_cond_wait.c of glibc

First gcc-bugs@ is not the right place to report a bug report as
gcc-bugs is mainly for automated emails from bugzilla. Please use
bugzilla first.

Note libstdc++ does ABI changes too which is NOT part of that ABI design.
This is where the symbol
__gthread_cond_timedwait/__gthrw_pthread_cond_timedwait are used. So
any changes you might do to fix __gthrw_pthread_cond_timedwait is not
really going to work without wider ABI fixes to libstdc++.
I don't know any one who is making those changes/fixes. So you should
file an bug requesting it. And maybe even have a design document ready
for it. There are many/some classes which have timespec inside them

I don't think that's true. We don't use timespec members, they're just local variables, and very occasionally function parameters.



and not just the mutex related ones.

Thanks,
Andrew
