From ff8885c3be6f42ed90a7b0ec0028fad26861cd94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:19:48 -0400 Subject: gdbsupport: include cstdlib in common-defs.h In PR 25731 [1], the following build failure was reported: ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbtypes.c:1254:10: error: no member named 'abs' in namespace 'std'; did you mean simply 'abs'? = ((std::abs (stride) * element_count) + 7) / 8; ^~~~~~~~ abs /usr/include/stdlib.h:129:6: note: 'abs' declared here int abs(int) __pure2; ^ The original report was using: $ gcc -v Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 Note that I was _not_ able to reproduce using: $ g++ --version Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.3.0 The proposed fix is to include in addition to . Here's an excerpt of [2] relevant to this problem: These headers [speaking of the .h form] are allowed to also declare the same names in the std namespace, and the corresponding cxxx headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the global namespace: including definitely provides std::malloc and may also provide ::malloc. Including definitely provides ::malloc and may also provide std::malloc Since we use std::abs, we should not assume that our include of stdlib.h declares an `abs` function in the `std` namespace. If we replace the include of stdlib.h with cstdlib, then we fall in the opposite situation. A standard C++ library may decide to only put the declarations in the std namespace, requiring us to prefix all standard functions with `std::`. I'm not against that, but for the moment I think the safest way forward is to just include both. Note that I don't know what effect this patch can have on any stdlib.h fix provided by gnulib.
