//! Support for "weak linkage" to symbols on Unix //! //! Some I/O operations we do in libstd require newer versions of OSes but we //! need to maintain binary compatibility with older releases for now. In order //! to use the new functionality when available we use this module for //! detection. //! //! One option to use here is weak linkage, but that is unfortunately only //! really workable on Linux. Hence, use dlsym to get the symbol value at //! runtime. This is also done for compatibility with older versions of glibc, //! and to avoid creating dependencies on GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols. It assumes that //! we've been dynamically linked to the library the symbol comes from, but that //! is currently always the case for things like libpthread/libc. //! //! A long time ago this used weak linkage for the __pthread_get_minstack //! symbol, but that caused Debian to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned //! dependency on libc6 (#23628). use crate::ffi::CStr; use crate::marker; use crate::mem; use crate::sync::atomic::{AtomicUsize, Ordering}; pub struct Weak { name: &'static str, addr: AtomicUsize, _marker: marker::PhantomData, } impl Weak { pub const fn new(name: &'static str) -> Weak { Weak { name, addr: AtomicUsize::new(1), _marker: marker::PhantomData, } } pub fn get(&self) -> Option { assert_eq!(mem::size_of::(), mem::size_of::()); unsafe { if self.addr.load(Ordering::SeqCst) == 1 { self.addr.store(fetch(self.name), Ordering::SeqCst); } match self.addr.load(Ordering::SeqCst) { 0 => None, addr => Some(mem::transmute_copy::(&addr)), } } } } unsafe fn fetch(name: &str) -> usize { let name = match CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(name.as_bytes()) { Ok(cstr) => cstr, Err(..) => return 0, }; assert!(false, "FIXME: fetch"); libc::dlsym(libc::RTLD_DEFAULT, name.as_ptr()) as usize }
