[PATCH] mingw: avoid fallback for {local,gm}time_r()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

mingw-w64's pthread_unistd.h had a bug that mistakenly (because there is
no support for the *lockfile() functions required[1]) defined
_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS and that was being worked around since
3ecd153a3b (compat/mingw: support MSys2-based MinGW build, 2016-01-14).

the bug was fixed in winphtreads, but as a sideeffect, leaves the
reentrant functions from time.h not longer visible and therefore breaks
the build.

since the intention all along was to avoid using the fallback functions,
formalize the use of POSIX by setting the corresponding feature flag and
to make the intention clearer compile out the fallback functions.

    mingw: avoid fallback for {local,gm}time_r()
    
    This is a cherry-pick from git-for-windows/git@adf0cd8, that is needed
    to be able to build recent master with the Git for Windows SDK or recent
    MinGW64.
    
    It was discussed recently on list[1], and might need further
    adjustements if the 32-bit Git for Windows SDK also updates their
    winpthread headers, requiring a similar fix, but since without it a
    plain build from master wouldn't work in Windows I think it is worth
    reviewing on its own merits, and had withstood the test of time in the
    git for windows fork since it was originally merged there late August.
