[RFC] UAPI: Check headers by compiling all together as C++

[RFC] UAPI: Check headers by compiling all together as C++

[David Howells]

Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make
sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the
compiler being used supports C++).

Note that it's based on a commit from the sound tree to fix usage of u32
and co..

Most of the patches perform fixups, including:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (6) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

There's also:

 (7) Move the coda_psdev.h header file to fs/coda/.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

Changes for v2:

 - Merge commit from sound tree to fix u32 usage issues
 - Use a switch to fix sparse array initialisation
 - Simplify nilfs2 by performing bitwise ops in LE space not CPU space
 - Handle conflicting fix to use of 'private' in keyctl.h
 - Move kernel internal coda bits to coda internal headers
 - Move coda_psdev.h header to fs/coda/.

The patches can also be found here:

UAPI - no; userland folks can use INTERCAL, for all I care.
Kernel-side, though, it's quite tempting...

You would deliberately break the UAPI header files to make sure that they
couldn't be used with C++?

	It's too early for AFD postings.  And you *are* tempting
me to throw into the tree as many anti-C++ devices as can be
done tastefully, just to stop somebody attempting that insanity
in the earnest.

<= g++-8 doesn't support C99 style initializers.
g++-8 mostly does: for example

	.foo = {
		[BAR] = 1,
	},

doesn't work, but regular .foo = 42 does.
Additionally, g++ makes noise about order of initializators.
C++20 is supposed to make things better.

g++ supports -fpermissive which is a blessing.

clang doesn't support -fpermissive which makes everything way more
tedious and it has problems with alternatives (and IIRC vdso code).

Now with gcc version bumped recently I think __attribute__((cleanup))
is supported which makes destructor-like behaviour possible:

	with_spinlock(&p->l) {
		return 0;
	}

	with_mutex(&m) {
	}

	with_rcu() {
	}

[RFC] UAPI: Check headers by compiling all together as C++

[David Howells]

Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make
sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the
compiler being used supports C++).

Note that it's based on a commit from the sound tree to fix usage of u32
and co..

Most of the patches perform fixups, including:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (6) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

There's also:

 (7) Move the coda_psdev.h header file to fs/coda/.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

Changes for v2:

 - Merge commit from sound tree to fix u32 usage issues
 - Use a switch to fix sparse array initialisation
 - Simplify nilfs2 by performing bitwise ops in LE space not CPU space
 - Handle conflicting fix to use of 'private' in keyctl.h
 - Move kernel internal coda bits to coda internal headers
 - Move coda_psdev.h header to fs/coda/.

The patches can also be found here:

For the record, libX11 has to handle the kink pf issue with C++
keyword:


https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/blob/733f64bfeb311c1d040b2f751bfdef9c9d0f89ef/include/X11/Xlib.h#L227

typedef struct {
	XExtData *ext_data;	/* hook for extension to hang data */
	VisualID visualid;	/* visual id of this visual */
#if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(c_plusplus)
	int c_class;		/* C++ class of screen (monochrome, etc.) */
#else
	int class;		/* class of screen (monochrome, etc.) */
#endif
	unsigned long red_mask, green_mask, blue_mask;	/* mask values */
	int bits_per_rgb;	/* log base 2 of distinct color values */
	int map_entries;	/* color map entries */
} Visual;

With C++11, C++ has become a much nicer language to use (for userspace, anyway).

The only trick is to use an extra C source file and extensively wrap things.

I think David is seriously trying to compile kernel with C++ compiler
and this is first step.

He isn't alone. Resistance is futile. :^)

There's at least one outstanding bug due to a C++ identifier in the kernel
UAPI headers.

Are you saying you explicitly don't want people to be able to use the kernel
UAPI headers in C++?

No, because there's no such trick (except with the preprocessor).

They can't.


Adding extern "C" { } doesn't magically make "class" a non keyword.
Even if it was the case, writing C++ code using whatever->class would
probably broke because class is a keyword in C++.

They can't.


Adding extern "C" { } doesn't magically make "class" a non keyword.
Even if it was the case, writing C++ code using whatever->class would
probably broke because class is a keyword in C++.

Wait, why do we care?  What has recently changed to start to directly
import kernel uapi files into C++ code?

And if userspace wants to do this, can't they do the C namespace trick

[RFC] UAPI: Check headers by compiling all together as C++

[David Howells]

Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make
sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the
compiler being used supports C++).  All but the final patch perform fixups,
including:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Replace usage of u32 and co. with __u32 and co.

 (6) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (7) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

The patches can also be found here:

[RFC] UAPI: Check headers by compiling all together as C++

[David Howells]

Here's a set of patches that inserts a step into the build process to make
sure that the UAPI headers can all be built together with C++ (if the
compiler being used supports C++).  All but the final patch perform fixups,
including:

 (1) Fix member names that conflict with C++ reserved words by providing
     alternates that can be used anywhere.  An anonymous union is used so
     that that the conflicting name is still available outside of C++.

 (2) Fix the use of flexible arrays in structs that get embedded (which is
     illegal in C++).

 (3) Remove the use of internal kernel structs in UAPI structures.

 (4) Fix symbol collisions.

 (5) Replace usage of u32 and co. with __u32 and co.

 (6) Fix use of sparsely initialised arrays (which g++ doesn't implement).

 (7) Remove some use of PAGE_SIZE since this isn't valid outside of the
     kernel.

And lastly:

 (8) Compile all of the UAPI headers (with a few exceptions) together as
     C++ to catch new errors occurring as part of the regular build
     process.

The patches can also be found here:
