[C++] Define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS / __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS for stdint.h
With some toolchains, building in C++ mode stumbles on many instances
of:
In file included from ../../src/gdb/../include/splay-tree.h:43:0,
from ../../src/gdb/dcache.c:26:
build-gnulib/import/inttypes.h:61:3: error: #error "This file assumes that 'int' has exactly 32 bits. Please report your platform and compiler to <bug-gnulib@gnu.org>."
# error "This file assumes that 'int' has exactly 32 bits. Please report your platform and compiler to <bug-gnulib@gnu.org>."
^
make: *** [dcache.o] Error 1
That's:
#if !(INT_MIN == INT32_MIN && INT_MAX == INT32_MAX)
# error "This file assumes that 'int' has exactly 32 bits. Please report your platform and compiler to <bug-gnulib@gnu.org>."
#endif
I see it when cross building for --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 using
Fedora 20's g++ (gcc version 4.8.4 20141219 (Fedora MinGW
4.8.4-1.fc20)), Simon reports seeing this on several cross compilers
too.
The issue is that on some hosts that predate C++11, when using C++ one
must define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS/__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS to make visible
the definitions of INTMAX_C / INTMAX_MAX etc.
This was a C99 requirement that later C++11 -- the first to define
stdint.h -- removed, and then C11 removed it as well.
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/stdint_002eh.html
says that gnulib's stdint.h fixes this, but because we run gnulib's
configure tests with a C compiler, gnulib determines that mingw's
stdint.h is C99-compliant, and doesn't actually replace it. Actually,
even though configuring gnulib with a C++ compiler does result in
gnulib replacing stdint.h, the resulting replacement is broken for
mingw, because it defines uintptr_t incorrectly. I sent a gnulib
patch upstream to fix that, here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2015-11/msg00004.html
but then even with that, gnulib still stumbles on other
configured-with-C++-compiler problems.
So for now, until gnulib + C++ is fixed upstream and then gdb's copy
is updated, which may take a while, I think it's best to keep
configuring gnulib in C, and define
__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS/__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS ourselves, just like C99
intended.
