The file ctype.c contains 13 different functions (isalnum, isalpha, iscntrl,
isdigit, islower, isgraph, isprint, ispunct, isspace, isupper, isxdigit,
tolower, and toupper).
Trying to use other implementations of one or more of those functions, say
toupper and tolower, will cause conflicts during linking if any of the other
functions in ctype.c are used. One has to define __NO_INLINE__ or use some other
way to prevent inlining of the ctype functions for the conflict to occur.

There are reasons why some people would like to use other implementations of some function in the C library, typically to reduce the code size. Is there any point in making that unnecessarily hard to do that? -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6546 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
