Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.10.2-6
Severity: wishlist
File issock.c:
----------------------------------------
#include <sys/stat.h>
int foo(mode_t mode) { return S_ISSOCK(mode); }
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return foo(0); }
----------------------------------------
Compilation results:
----------------------------------------
$ gcc -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L -o issock issock.c
issock.c: In function ‘foo’:
issock.c:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘S_ISSOCK’
/tmp/ccUoCGe4.o: In function `foo':
issock.c:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `S_ISSOCK'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -o issock issock.c
issock.c: In function ‘foo’:
issock.c:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘S_ISSOCK’
/tmp/ccsSvaAx.o: In function `foo':
issock.c:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `S_ISSOCK'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
----------------------------------------
Using gcc -E -dM, it is possible to observe that S_ISSOCK does not get
defined as a macro at any point. With -D_GNU_SOURCE or no feature
test macros at all, issock.c compiles fine. /usr/include/sys/stat.h
on my machine has at line 146:
----------------------------------------
#if (defined __USE_BSD || defined __USE_UNIX98) \
&& defined __S_IFSOCK
# define S_ISSOCK(mode) __S_ISTYPE((mode), __S_IFSOCK)
#endif
----------------------------------------
This seems to be along the lines of only defining S_ISSOCK when BSD or
X/Open features are being selected (my glance at __USE_UNIX98 yielded
vague understanding at best), but according to [1], POSIX:2001
declares that sys/stat.h defines the macro S_ISSOCK without any
extension tags (such as the XSI tag), which would seem to me to make
it a POSIX feature.
