[PATCH] Clean up conditionals for declaration of gets().

- Subject: [PATCH] Clean up conditionals for declaration of gets().
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
gets() has the dubious honor of being the only C89 library feature
that has been completely removed from the current C and C++ standards.
glibc follows suit by not declaring it in _GNU_SOURCE mode either, but
it remains present in older compatibility modes. Internally, two test
cases need to see stdio.h make the declaration, but all our internal
code is of course compiled under _GNU_SOURCE. This is currently
kludged by duplicating the gets declaration, fortify wrapper and all,
in include/stdio.h. Also, the conditional in the public headers for
deciding when to declare gets is complicated and repeated in two places.
This patch adds a new macro to features.h that encapsulates the
complicated rule for when to declare gets. stdio.h and bits/stdio2.h
can simply test __GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_GETS). Then, instead of
having a duplicate gets declaration in include/stdio.h,
debug/tst-chk1.c and stdio-common/tst-gets.c force that flag on.
Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu, OK?
(If you're wondering why this patch doesn't touch libio/iogets.c, it is
because that file defines _IO_gets, not gets. Yes, this raises
troubling questions about inconsistencies between the internal
declarations in libioP.h and the public ones in stdio.h.)
zw
* include/features.h (__GLIBC_USE_DEPRECATED_GETS): New macro.
* libio/stdio.h, libio/bits/stdio2.h: Condition gets on
__GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_GETS). Update comments to indicate
gets was removed from C++ in C++14.
* include/stdio.h [!_ISOMAC]: Force gets to be declared by
libio/stdio.h, instead of repeating its declaration.
* debug/tst-chk1.c, stdio-common/tst-gets.c: Force gets to
be declared, since we are testing it.
* stdio-common/Makefile (tst-gets.c): Compile with
-Wno-deprecated-declarations.
