A defined or undefined macro is typo prone. Please see this wiki for examples of the problems it causes: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Wundef Having the UAPI macros always defined and be 0 or 1 allows you to create tooling to check for problems, while an undefined macro is just that, either a mistake or the intended value. > fixes the following compiler errors when <linux/in6.h> is included > after musl <netinet/in.h>: > > ./linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr' > ./linux/in6.h:49:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6' > ./linux/in6.h:59:8: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq' Do you have plans for fixing the error when the inclusion order is the other way? It will require kernel header changes to have each individual kernel header define the requisite __UAPI_* values to 1 e.g. moving libc-compat.h into the header. Do you plan to do that in a next step? > Signed-off-by: Felix Janda <felix.janda@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > The previous mail misspelled the kernel mailing list.
