[Bug libc/10456] New: missing include in string.h

[alex at vanhout-narvaez dot com]

In string.h in version 2.10.1 on line 546 & 550 there is a referance to __locale_t. 
__locale_t is defined in xlocale.h.

xlocale.h is only included when __USE_XOPEN2K8 is true.

Lines 544-552 thus including line 546 are only used when __USE_GNU is true.
Given that xlocale.h is only included when __USE_XOPEN2K8 is true this lead to
an error when __USE_XOPEN2K8 is false and __USE-GNU is false.

Fix:
Afther line 544 add:
#include <xlocale.h>
To have __locale_t defined when referenced.

Regards,
Alex

Sorry,

Taken my time to create a complete bug report, Typing error. :-(


It should read: 
Given that xlocale.h is only included when __USE_XOPEN2K8 is true this lead to
an error when __USE_XOPEN2K8 is false and __USE_GNU is TRUE.

Regards,
Alex

When __USE_GNU is defined, __USE_XOPEN2K8 is always defined as well, unless you
are expplicitly defining or undefining these macros, which you must not do.
Use _GNU_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE {500,600,700,...}, etc. macros before including
first header instead.  See
info libc 'Feature Test Macros'

This was a dump form building GCC 4.4.1. I am knowledgeable enough to provide a
simple solution, but can not tell if this is an error in GCC 4.4.1 or glibc. If
was not something I put together myself that I can easily fix.

Just noticed that http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52922 contains a
good explanation of this.

--- Comment #4 from Poor Yorick <org.sourceware at pooryorick dot com> ---
running a gcc-4.4.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 that was compiled on Red-Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 resulted in a situation where gcc used its own modified
versin of the RHEL5 features.h, resulting in the following error:

   #/usr/include/time.h:226: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...'    
   #before '__locale_t 

In this situation, __USE_XOPEN2K8 indeed was unset while __USE_GNU was set.
