[Bug libc/13553] New: Remove __const, __signed, __volatile


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13553

             Bug #: 13553
           Summary: Remove __const, __signed, __volatile
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
    Classification: Unclassified


sys/cdefs.h still defines __const, __signed and __volatile for non-GCC
compilers, to support headers using those versions of keywords.  But support
for non-ISO C compilers was removed in glibc 2.2.  So use of __const, __signed
and __volatile in glibc headers is just a relic of old support for pre-C90
compilers; the headers should be changed to use plain "const" etc., and the
definitions in sys/cdefs.h removed.
