Subject: [2.29 COMMITTED] <string.h>: Define __CORRECT_ISO_CPP_STRING_H_PROTO for Clang [BZ #25232]
Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191205162059.9813EB970F2F@oldenburg2.str.redhat.com> (raw)
From: Kamlesh Kumar <kamleshbhalui@gmail.com>
Without the asm redirects, strchr et al. are not const-correct.
libc++ has a wrapper header that works with and without
__CORRECT_ISO_CPP_STRING_H_PROTO (using a Clang extension). But when
Clang is used with libstdc++ or just C headers, the overloaded functions
with the correct types are not declared.
This change does not impact current GCC (with libstdc++ or libc++).
(cherry picked from commit 953ceff17a4a15b10cfdd5edc3c8cae4884c8ec3)
