include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h

/*
 * Compatibility interface for userspace libc header coordination:
 *
 * Define compatibility macros that are used to control the inclusion or
 * exclusion of UAPI structures and definitions in coordination with another
 * userspace C library.
 *
 * This header is intended to solve the problem of UAPI definitions that
 * conflict with userspace definitions. If a UAPI header has such conflicting
 * definitions then the solution is as follows:
 *
 * * Synchronize the UAPI header and the libc headers so either one can be
 *   used and such that the ABI is preserved. If this is not possible then
 *   no simple compatibility interface exists (you need to write translating
 *   wrappers and rename things) and you can't use this interface.
 *
 * Then follow this process:
 *
 * (a) Include libc-compat.h in the UAPI header.
 *      e.g. #include <linux/libc-compat.h>
 *     This include must be as early as possible.
 *
 * (b) In libc-compat.h add enough code to detect that the comflicting
 *     userspace libc header has been included first.
 *
 * (c) If the userspace libc header has been included first define a set of
 *     guard macros of the form __UAPI_DEF_FOO and set their values to 1, else
 *     set their values to 0.
 *
 * (d) Back in the UAPI header with the conflicting definitions, guard the
 *     definitions with:
 *     #if __UAPI_DEF_FOO
 *       ...
 *     #endif
 *
 * This fixes the situation where the linux headers are included *after* the
 * libc headers. To fix the problem with the inclusion in the other order the
 * userspace libc headers must be fixed like this:
 *
 * * For all definitions that conflict with kernel definitions wrap those
 *   defines in the following:
 *   #if !__UAPI_DEF_FOO
 *     ...
 *   #endif
 *
 * This prevents the redefinition of a construct already defined by the kernel.
