Hi Waldemar,
It's just not clear to me what __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ is supposed to mean.
Does it mean the kernel supports the syscall?
Or does it mean the arch want to expose some "statx" function which wraps the statx syscall? (because statx is non POSIX and is Linux specific)
In the first scenario I would think that it seems redundant with just checking __NR_statx
In the second scenario I would think that even if the arch does not want to expose a statx() function in the libc, the arch would still want to wrap the "old" functions (fstatat, stat, etc) around the new statx syscall, right?
In any case I am interested in understanding which of the 2 scenario is correct: what does __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ mean?
Also, indeed I can see that in other files the check is done like this `#if defined __NR_statx && defined __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__` but maybe we need to make sure this is correct, and if it's not, fix this.
I hope I'm helping and not making this more complex than it's already is :)
Cheers,
Yann
Hi Yann, I added __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ for c-sky when I first added statx support. What you think about attached patch to fix the mips64 n32 issue? It showed no further regressions while testing. best regards Waldemar Yann Sionneau wrote,Hi Waldemar, This is due to statx structure being defined in statx.h statx.h being included in sys/stat.h conditionally to __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ being defined. Which is not, for mips arch. defining __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ in libc/sysdeps/linux/mips/bits/uClibc_arch_features.h does the job and everything compiles OK. BUT, I'm not sure if this is the best way of fixing things... I am wondering why we use this __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ macro in the libc instead of testing the existence of the syscall in the kernel like for every other syscall by doing `#if defined(__NR_statx)` ? Or maybe __UCLIBC_HAVE_STATX__ means something else? Maybe it means we want to expose a real statx() function wrapper to userspace? If this is the case, that would mean fstatat.c would need to include directly bits/statx.h instead of sys/stat.h BUT it's explicitly forbidden: ``` #ifndef _SYS_STAT_H # error Never include <bits/statx.h> directly, include <sys/stat.h> instead. #endif ``` So... I'm a bit hesitant here on what's the correct thing to do. Any thoughts on the list?
