[PATCH] libc-compat.h for <asm-generic/fcntl.h>

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

Hello everyone,
  I've done some kernel hacking and needed in some extra flags for
open(2). Although the kernel works, I could not access my changes in
userland. Adding in <asm-generic/fcntl.h> caused many redefinition
errors, and ignoring <fcntl.h> causes issues as flibc's <fcntl.h>
contains the prototype for open(2).

  As such, I've filed a feature request to glibc (20050) and have since
made a patch to help facilitate any changes other people may have. I've
also sent the glibc patch to libc-alpha.

  Attached is the patch that should make the changes, while not breaking
compatibility for those who do not need it.

  If there is any other information that I need to provide, then please
let me know.

  Finally, I'd like to be CC'd on this and future e-mails related to
this patch.

Regards,
Eric Neblock
