[PATCH v3] tools lib: Fix builds when glibc contains strlcpy

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

 



Disable a couple of compilation warning (which are treated as errors) on
strlcpy definition and declaration, allow users to compile perf and
kernel (objtool).

1. When glibc have strlcpy (such as in ALT Linux since 2004) objtool and
perf build fails with this (in gcc):

  In file included from exec-cmd.c:3:
  tools/include/linux/string.h:20:15: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘strlcpy’ [-Werror=redundant-decls]
     20 | extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);

2. Clang ignores `-Wredundant-decls', but produces another warning when
building perf:

    CC       util/string.o
  ../lib/string.c:99:8: error: attribute declaration must precede definition [-Werror,-Wignored-attributes]
  size_t __weak strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size)
  ../../tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66:34: note: expanded from macro '__weak'
  # define __weak                 __attribute__((weak))
  /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:151:8: note: previous definition is here
  __NTH (strlcpy (char *__restrict __dest, const char *__restrict __src,

Fixes: 0215d59 ("tools lib: Reinstate strlcpy() header guard with __UCLIBC__")

Changes since v2:
- v2 was failing to compile on gcc-4.9, because there was no `-Wignored-attributes'.
  Make this pragma only efficient for Clang.

Changes since v1:
- Fix compiling with clang due to __weak triggering `-Wignored-attributes'.
