[PATCH] bluetooth.h: fix compile issue when using in C++

[PATCH] bluetooth.h: fix compile issue when using in C++

[Patrick Ohly]

The compiler error is:
 /usr/include/bluetooth/bluetooth.h::131:9: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'bt_get_le64(void*)::<anonymous struct>*'
 ...

The reason is that C++, in contrast to C, does not allow conversion of
void * to anything, and this code gets compiled as C++ when the app is
written in C++. The macro with the assignment itself is older, but only
recent Bluez starts to use it in inline functions, thus triggering the
problem.

This patch keeps the "struct __attribute__((packed))" magic and merely
changes the typecast so that it works in C and C++. Like the existing
macro this patch relies on support for typeof.

so I am applying this patch now, but I still have no idea what kind of
stupid C++ compiler you are using. The section of this include is
clearly marked as C code:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

Has anybody actually tested this on ARM where we do need the unaligned
access?

Regards

Marcel

The default g++ as used by affected distros.

That doesn't mean that the C++ compiler falls back to C mode. It merely
uses C names for the symbols in that section.

That's a second C++ problem with the header file. With typeof and -std=c
++0x I get an error, as you said.

I'm fine with using __typeof__ instead of typeof. I verified that g++
4.6.2 and clang++ 3.0 grok __typeof__, with and without -std=c++0x. I
also checked that gcc accepts it without -std, with -std=gnu89, and with
-std=c99. It rejects the header file with -std=c89 because of the inline
keyword.

Updated patch attached.

Note that Debian seems to have picked the older
http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=132644289619172&w=2 patch, the one
which removes __attribute__((packed)) and replaces the (void *) cast
with (struct __s *).

I think that shows that it is important that upstream includes a
solution, because otherwise distros will pick one randomly.

Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth.h: fix typecast and typeof compile issue when used
 in C++
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

The compiler error for the typecast is:
 /usr/include/bluetooth/bluetooth.h::131:9: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'bt_get_le64(void*)::<anonymous struct>*'
 ...

The reason is that C++, in contrast to C, does not allow conversion of
void * to anything, and this code gets compiled as C++ when the app is
written in C++. The macro with the assignment itself is older, but only
recent Bluez starts to use it in inline functions, thus triggering the
problem.

Another issue in combination with -std=c++0x is the use of typeof,
which is not a standard C++ feature and thus gets rejected in strict
mode.

This patch keeps the "struct __attribute__((packed))" magic and merely
changes the typecast so that it works in C and C++. typeof gets replaced
with __typeof__.

g++ 4.6.2 and clang++ 3.0-5 accept the modified header file, with and
without -std=c++0x. gcc 4.6.2 accepts it without -std, with -std=gnu89,
and with -std=c99. It rejects the header file with -std=c89 because of
the inline keyword.

The gcc documentation states also this for the typeof C extension:

"If you are writing a header file that must work when included in ISO
C programs, write __typeof__ instead of typeof."

This only tells the compiler that this part has C linkage and not C++

Why can't we get rid off the "typeof" keyword completely and using a
template similar approach:

=3D=3D=3D

#define bt_get_unaligned_tmpl(type, ptr)         \
({                                               \
       struct __p_s  {                           \
               type __v;                         \
       } __attribute__((packed));                \
       struct __p_s *__p =3D (struct __p_s*)(ptr); \
       __p->__v;                                 \
})

static inline uint64_t bt_get_le64(void *ptr)
{
	return bt_get_unaligned_tmpl(uint64_t, ptr);
}

static inline uint64_t bt_get_be64(void *ptr)
{
	return bswap_64(bt_get_unaligned_tmpl(uint64_t, ptr));
}

=3D=3D=3D

Okay, the macro parameter type is not encapsulated by parenthesis, but
it seems okay and working.
So it seems to be a very more portable solution (IMHO).

what does seems okay and working actually mean? Have you actually
verified on platform that require correct unaligned access to data?

Hi!

Sorry for the top posting. I have forgotten, to not do that.

I could check that on an ARM architecture, that needs correct
unaligned access handling.

What did I mean with "seems okay"?
You could write code and test it if it is correct, if it fails, it is
not correct, if it not fails, it could be correct.
Or you can write code, think about what the code is doing, and say,
this should be correct.
Sorry, this should not be arrogant, just explain, that I see no
different in the code (if I compare both).

I will write a test suite after the weekend.
But perhaps another one could have a look at.

I could also run a loop and break if result_new !=3D result_old...

This patch seems to have never made it into bluez, and I just bumped
into the typeof/__typeof__ issue again today.  I could not find any
comments in the mailing list explaining if or why the patch was
rejected, so perhaps it just fell through the cracks?

Is there any chance of getting it accepted?

Cheers,
Trevor

bluetooth.h: fix compile issue when using in C++

[Pacho Ramos]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 314 bytes --]

Hello

Today I got a report downstream showing that old problem:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/22306

is still not fixed. 

Could you please commit debian patch to fix this?
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/bluez/4.101-1/09_fix_ftbfs_with_c99.patch

Thanks  a lot

The patch would need to be sent as a proper git patch to this mailing
list. Particularly, we need proper author information for the patch as
well as a commit message explaining the background to the patch and why
it is correct (including a reference to the C++ standard and/or gcc
documentation).

Will forward this message to patch authors and debian maintainers to let
them reformat it with proper authoring.

Umm, it could be a gcc bug per:
