Subject: [2.27 COMMITTED] <string.h>: Define __CORRECT_ISO_CPP_STRING_H_PROTO for Clang [BZ #25232]
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 00:00:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201116210028.GB28063@altlinux.org> (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)
