want sys/stddef.h for offsetof and container_of macros
Added by Toomas Soome over 5 years ago.
Updated about 5 years ago.
Description
The current uts/common/sys/sysmacros.h does attempt to protect offsetof() and container_of() macros from getting exposed to userland stddef.h by using construct:
#if (defined(_KERNEL) || defined(_FAKE_KERNEL)) && !defined(_KMEMUSER)
..
#endif
However, the i86pc and i86xpv dboot is built with -D_BOOT -D_KMEMUSER -U_KERNEL and is therefore excluded from offsetof() and container_of() macros. To solve this issue, we need to update the conditional expression.
Sample error case from building dboot bits:

- Subject changed from uts: sysmacros.h should allow offsetof for early boot to need sys/sysdef.h for offsetof and container_of macros
So far the idea has developed to:
Create sys/sysdef.h, move offsetof and container_of macros from sys/sysmacros.h to it, and remove offsetof from iso/stddef_iso.h. include sys/sysdef.h from both head/sysdef.h and sys/sysmacros.h.
Since we provide the same definition, in guarded header, we will not get into the conflicts, and we get a bit cleaned up headers in return.
- Subject changed from need sys/sysdef.h for offsetof and container_of macros to want sys/stddef.h for offsetof and container_of macros

Why don't we put stuff in stddef.h like the spec says?

The #include <stddef.h> (usr/src/head/stddef.h) does provide many (all?) of them, however, if we should move some to sys/stddef.h or not - I think it is separate issue and entirely open for discussions.
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
- % Done changed from 90 to 100
