Attachments: Patch that changes __USE_GNU to __USE_XOPEN2K8 where appropriate in string.h

Description Maarten ter Huurne 2013-03-06 20:06:58 UTC 
Functions such as strndup() are included in POSIX-2008.1, but are still marked as GNU extensions in uClibc. The <string.h> header is based on glibc, so I ran a diff between glibc 2.15 and uClibc 0.9.33.2 of that header file; everywhere glibc checks for __USE_XOPEN2K8 and uClibc checks for __USE_GNU I patched uClibc. The resulting patch is attached.

I only looked at <string.h>, it is likely other headers might need a similar update, but my immediate problem of strndup() not being declared is solved now.
