The `nonnull' attribute specifies that some function parameters should be
non-null pointers. This is very useful as it helps the compiler generate
warnings on suspicious code and can also enable some small optimizations.
Also start using 'alloc_size' attribute in the allocator functions.
This is an initial step to better integrate our libc with the compiler:
these attributes are fully supported by clang and they are also useful
for the static analyzer.
Note that due to some bogus internal procedure in the way gcc ports
are built they may require updating if they were built before r280801.

GCC is still carries an old version of cdefs.h which doesn't
accept multiple parameters for the nonnull attribute.
Since this issue probably affects many ports in the tree
we will revert it for now until gcc gets fixed.

While we could go on defining this all over the tree, it only
makes sense to annotate a subset of critical functions.

Whenever <sys/cdefs.h> sets __BSD_VISIBLE to non-zero, it also sets
__POSIX_VISIBLE and __XSI_VISIBLE to the newest version supported.
No functional change is intended.
As C1X is close to being released, there is no need to wrap around a
feature that is already part of C90. Most of these files already use
`const' in different placed as well.

provided to ease porting from System V-like systems. Since sigpause
already exists in compat with different interface, XSI sigpause is
named xsi_sigpause.

I've discussed this with the Pth maintainer and no clear solution

the issue in signal.h.

-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes:
Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;
Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;
Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;
Add options to LINT;
Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.
Changes to support building with _POSIX_SOURCE set to 199309L:
1. Add sys/_posix.h to handle those preprocessor defs that POSIX
says have effects when defined before including any header files;
2. Change POSIX4_VISIBLE back to _POSIX4_VISIBLE
3. Add _POSIX4_VISIBLE_HISTORICALLY for pre-existing BSD features now
defined in POSIX. These show up when:
_POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not set or
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is set >= 199309L
and vanish when:
_POSIX_SOURCE is set or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is < 199309L.
4. Explain these in man 9 posix4;
5. Include _posix.h and conditionalize on new feature test.
include/signal.h:
There was massive namespace pollution from including <sys/types.h>.
POSIX functions were declared even when _ANSI_SOURCE is defined.
sys.sys/signal.h:
NSIG was declared even if _ANSI_SOURCE or _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
sig_atomic_t wasn't declared if _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
Declare a typedef for signal handling functions and use it to
unobfuscate declarations and to avoid half-baked function types
that cause unwanted compiler warnings at certain warning levels.
Fix confusing comment about SA_RESTART.
sys/i386/include/signal.h:
This has to be included to get the declaration of sig_atomic_t even
when _ANSI_SOURCE is defined, so be more careful about polluting
the ANSI namespace.
Uniformize idempotency ifdefs.
