Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 7/7] eal/windows: do not expose POSIX symbols
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2021 17:28:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210221142819.6769-8-dmitry.kozliuk@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210221142819.6769-1-dmitry.kozliuk@gmail.com>

Exposing POSIX symbols could break consumer POSIX compatibility code.

* Make renaming of close() and unlink() private to EAL.

* Remove renaming of strncasecmp(), strtok_r(), and sleep()
  in favor of using EAL wrappers. Similarly remove PATH_MAX macro.

* Replace index(3p), which is not available on Windows, with strchr(3),
  as recommended by POSIX.1-2008. strerror_r() is only used inside EAL,
  rename it only where it's needed. Same for asprintf(), it has an
  internal EAL wrapper and is removed from public API.

    =======================================================
 
+* eal/windows: Removed POSIX symbols from EAL headers. Exposing POSIX symbols
+  has been incorrect and could conflict with consumer POSIX implementations.
+  Wrappers are provided for
+  ``strtok_r(3p)`` (``rte_strtok``),
+  ``strncasecmp(3p)`` (``rte_strncasecmp``),
+  ``sleep(3p)`` (``rte_thread_sleep``),
+  ``PATH_MAX`` (``RTE_PATH_MAX``).
+  Removed are ``strerror_r(3p)`` and ``asprintf(3p)``.
