the top-level mcontext_t member names were namespace-violating in standards profiles before, and nested-level member names (some of them single-letter) were egregiously bad namespace impositions even in non-strict profiles. moreover, they mismatched those used in the public API first defined in glibc, breaking any code making use of them. unlike most archs, the public API used in glibc for riscv mcontext_t members was designed to be namespace-safe, so we can and should expose the members regardless of feature test macros. only the typedefs for greg_t, gregset_t, and fpregset_t need to be protected behind FTMs. the struct tags for mcontext_t and ucontext_t are also changed. for mcontext_t this is necessary to make the common definition across profiles namespace-safe. for ucontext_t, it's just a matter of matching the tag from the glibc-defined API. these changes are split off and expanded from a patch by Khem Raj.
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
the project website:
