kib requested review of this revision.Dec 6 2020, 11:35 PM

Man page update is not done yet.
Not tested.
I am not sure what __POSIX_VISIBLE guard is appropriate for the function.

include/string.h
92 ↗(On Diff #80395)

It was added in POSIX 2008 so you can add this to xlocale/_string.h where the other _l functions are declared.

kib marked an inline comment as done.

Move declaration to xlocale/_string.h

Some native English speaker should review the man page changes. Some sentences don't sound right to me but I'm no native speaker either. Everything else looks good to me.

Thanks for review, I will take a look at the man page

Maybe:

.Fn strerror
is not thread-safe.
It returns a pointer to an internal buffer that could be overwritten by a
.Fn strerror
call from another thread.

(.Nm or .Fn as appropriate)

Maybe

The
.Fn strerror_l
function accepts error number and locale arguments and returns a pointer to a string corresponding to the specified error in the given locale.
.Fn strerror-l
is thread-safe.

Add .Fn strerror_l here as well?

This assumes that this function will be used commonly, which seems reasonable.

138–139

A good encouragement for architectures to implement proper TLS :)

However, do we want to leave this error completely undocumented?

More man page work.

I think arch(7) should list arches which do not implement static thread-local storage, then we can reference ENOTSUP from there.

But from what I see, there is no arches left that define NO_TLS. Still I think that maintaining NO_TLS in some form is advantageous because it easier port to the new architectires. We got 2 or 3 in recent times (depends on how to calculate, arm64, riscv, powerc elfv2).

Even more man page updates.

As you can see in this review, the prototype for __catopen_l() was added to libc_private.h.

I have no idea what is broken in your env.

it seems that the system i was trying to build this is missing the follow up fix https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2020-December/142563.html

Referenced change has nothing to do with __catopen_l(). And we do not restrict visible namespace for libc build.

🤷🏻‍♀️ i dunno what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♀️ after manually patching my /usr/include/string.h with https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2020-December/142563.html it started working

i don't know if poudriere does anything funky here, but this is my observation.

either way i now have a fresh build @ https://alpha.pkgbase.live/FreeBSD:13:amd64/
