despite looking like undefined behavior, the affected code is correct both before and after this patch. the pairs mtx_t and pthread_mutex_t, and cnd_t and pthread_cond_t, are not mutually compatible within a single translation unit (because they are distinct untagged aggregate instances), but they are compatible with an object of either type from another translation unit (6.2.7 ¶1), and therefore a given translation unit can choose which one it wants to use. in the interest of being able to move declarations out of source files to headers that facilitate checking, use the pthread type names in declaring the namespace-safe versions of the pthread functions and cast the argument pointer types when calling them.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
