We shipped 2.27 with libio.h and _G_config.h still installed but
issuing warnings when used. Let's stop installing them early in 2.28
so that we have plenty of time to think of another plan if there are
problems.
The public stdio.h had a genuine dependency on libio.h for the
complete definitions of FILE and cookie_io_functions_t, and a genuine
dependency on _G_config.h for the complete definitions of fpos_t and
fpos64_t; these are moved to single-type headers.
bits/types/struct_FILE.h also provides a handful of accessor and
bitflags macros so that code is not duplicated between bits/stdio.h
and libio.h. All the other _IO_ and _G_ names used by the public
stdio.h can be replaced with either public names or __-names.
In order to minimize the risk of breaking our own compatibility code,
bits/types/struct_FILE.h preserves the _IO_USE_OLD_IO_FILE mechanism
exactly as it was in libio.h, but you have to define _LIBC to use it,
or it'll error out. Similarly, _IO_lock_t_defined is preserved
exactly, but will error out if used without defining _LIBC.
Internally, include/stdio.h continues to include libio.h, and libio.h
scrupulously provides every _IO_* and _G_* name that it always did,
perhaps now defined in terms of the public names. This is how this
patch avoids touching dozens of files throughout glibc and becoming
entangled with the _IO_MTSAFE_IO mess. The remaining patches in this
series eliminate most of the _G_ names.
Tested on x86_64-linux; in addition to the test suite, I installed the
library in a sysroot and verified that a simple program that uses
stdio.h could be compiled against the installed library, and I also
verified that installed stripped libraries are unchanged.
* libio/bits/types/__fpos_t.h, libio/bits/types/__fpos64_t.h:
New single-type headers split from _G_config.h.
* libio/bits/types/cookie_io_functions_t.h
* libio/bits/types/struct_FILE.h
New single-type headers split from libio.h.
* libio/Makefile: Install the above new headers. Don't install
libio.h, _G_config.h, bits/libio.h, bits/_G_config.h, or
bits/libio-ldbl.h.
* libio/_G_config.h, libio/libio.h: Delete file.
* libio/bits/libio.h: Remove improper-inclusion guard.
Include stdio.h and don't repeat anything that it does.
Define _IO_fpos_t as __fpos_t, _IO_fpos64_t as __fpos64_t,
_IO_BUFSIZ as BUFSIZ, _IO_va_list as __gnuc_va_list,
__io_read_fn as cookie_read_function_t,
__io_write_fn as cookie_write_function_t,
__io_seek_fn as cookie_seek_function_t,
__io_close_fn as cookie_close_function_t,
and _IO_cookie_io_functions_t as cookie_io_functions_t.
Define _STDIO_USES_IOSTREAM, __HAVE_COLUMN, and _IO_file_flags
here, in the "compatibility defines" section. Remove an #if 0
block. Use the "body" macros from bits/types/struct_FILE.h to
define _IO_getc_unlocked, _IO_putc_unlocked, _IO_feof_unlocked,
and _IO_ferror_unlocked.
Move prototypes of __uflow and __overflow...
* libio/stdio.h: ...here. Don't include bits/libio.h.
Don't define _STDIO_USES_IOSTREAM. Get __gnuc_va_list
directly from stdarg.h. Include bits/types/__fpos_t.h,
bits/types/__fpos64_t.h, bits/types/struct_FILE.h,
and, when __USE_GNU, bits/types/cookie_io_functions_t.h.
Use __gnuc_va_list, not _G_va_list; __fpos_t, not _G_fpos_t;
__fpos64_t, not _G_fpos64_t; FILE, not struct _IO_FILE;
cookie_io_functions_t, not _IO_cookie_io_functions_t;
__ssize_t, not _IO_ssize_t. Unconditionally define
BUFSIZ as 8192 and EOF as (-1).
* libio/bits/stdio.h: Add multiple-include guard. Use the "body"
macros from bits/types/struct_FILE.h instead of _IO_* macros
from libio.h; use __gnuc_va_list instead of va_list and __ssize_t
instead of _IO_ssize_t.
* libio/bits/stdio2.h: Similarly.
* libio/iolibio.h: Add multiple-include guard.
Include bits/libio.h after stdio.h.
* libio/libioP.h: Add multiple-include guard.
Include stdio.h and bits/libio.h before iolibio.h.
* include/bits/types/__fpos_t.h, include/bits/types/__fpos64_t.h
* include/bits/types/cookie_io_functions_t.h
* include/bits/types/struct_FILE.h: New wrappers.
* bits/_G_config.h, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/_G_config.h:
Get definitions of _G_fpos_t and _G_fpos64_t from
bits/types/__fpos_t.h and bits/types/__fpos64_t.h
respectively. Remove improper-inclusion guards.
* conform/data/stdio.h-data: Update expectations of va_list.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Remove special case for
libio.h and _G_config.h.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
