glibc-based interface.
Unfortunately, the glibc maintainers, despite knowing the existence
of the FreeBSD qsort_r(3) interface in 2004 and refused to add the
same interface to glibc based on grounds of the lack of standardization
and portability concerns, has decided it was a good idea to introduce
their own qsort_r(3) interface in 2007 as a GNU extension with a
slightly different and incompatible interface.
With the adoption of their interface as POSIX standard, let's switch
to the same prototype, there is no need to remain incompatible.
C++ and C applications written for the historical FreeBSD interface
get source level compatibility when building in C++ mode, or when
building with a C compiler with C11 generics support, provided that
the caller passes a fifth parameter of qsort_r() that exactly matches
the historical FreeBSD comparator function pointer type and does not
redefine the historical qsort_r(3) prototype in their source code.

We no longer support old versions of GCC. Remove this check by
assuming it's false. That will make the entire expression false. Also
remove support for Intel compiler, it's badly bitrotted. Technically,
this removes support for C89 and K&R from compilers that don't define
_Bool in those compilation environments as well. I'm unaware of any
working compiler today for which that would be relevant (pcc has it
and tcc sadly isn't working for other reasons), though if one
pops up in ports, I'll work to resolve the issue.
- Hide ptsname_r under __BSD_VISIBLE for now as the specification
is not finalized at this time.
- Keep Symbol.map sorted.
- Avoid the interposing of ptsname_r(3) from an user application
from breaking ptsname(3) by making the implementation a static
method and call the static function from ptsname(3) instead.

rand(3)'s standard C API is extremely limiting, but we can do better
than the historical 32-bit state Park-Miller LCG we've shipped since
2001: r73156.
The justification provided at the time for not using random(3) was that
rand_r(3) could not be made to use the same algorithm. That is still
true. However, the irrelevance of rand_r(3) is increasingly obvious.
Since that time, POSIX has marked the interface obsolescent. rand_r(3)
never became part of the standard C library. If not for API
compatibility reasons, I would just remove rand_r(3) entirely.
So, I do not believe it is a problem for rand_r(3) and rand(3) to
diverge.
The 12 ABI is maintained with compatibility definitions, but this
revision does subtly change the API of rand(3). The sequences of
pseudorandom numbers produced in programs built against new versions of
libc will differ from programs built against prior versions of libc.

And remove the inline/deprecated attribute use entirely in stdlib.h, from
r355747. The intent was to provide a buildable API transitionary period, but
clearly that was counter-productive.
Reported by: delphij, imp, others
The legacy version of GCC4 currently in base does not support the
parameterized form of this function attribute, as recent introduced in
stdlib.h (r355747).
As we have done for other function attributes with similar compatibility
problems, add a version-compatibile definition in sys/cdefs.h. Note that
Clang defines itself to be GCC 4, so one must check for __clang__ in
addition to __GNUC__ version. On legacy GCC 4, the macro expands to just
the __deprecated__ attribute; on modern GCC or Clang, the macro expands to
the parameterized variant with the message.
Ignoring legacy or unsupported compilers, the macro is also beneficial in
that it is a bit more ergonomic than the full
__attribute__((__deprecated__())) boilerplate.

It serves no useful purpose and wasn't as popular as its equally meritless
cousin, srandomdev(3).
Setting aside the problems with rand(3) in general, the problem with this
interface is that the seed isn't shared with the caller (other than by
attacking the output of the generator, which is trivial, but not a hallmark of
pleasant API design). The (arguable) utility of rand(3) or random(3) is as a
semi-fast simulation generator which produces consistent results from a given
seed. These are mutually at odd. Furthermore, sometimes people got the
mistaken impression that a high quality random seed meant a weak generator like
rand(3) or random(3) could be used for things like cryptographic key
generation. This is absolutely not so.
The API was never part of a standard and was not widely used in tree. Existing
in-tree uses have all been removed.
Possible replacement in out of tree codebases:
char buf[3];
time_t t;
time(t);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%S", gmtime(&t));

Instead of providing functions that only generate warnings when linking,
simply disallow linking against them. The impact of this is relatively
low. It only causes two leaf ports to break. I'll see what I can do to

My reasoning is that we can safely change these functions without

long (e.g., amd64), or int and long are of the same size (e.g., i386).
