1 //! Support for "weak linkage" to symbols on Unix
3 //! Some I/O operations we do in std require newer versions of OSes but we need
4 //! to maintain binary compatibility with older releases for now. In order to
5 //! use the new functionality when available we use this module for detection.
7 //! One option to use here is weak linkage, but that is unfortunately only
8 //! really workable with ELF. Otherwise, use dlsym to get the symbol value at
9 //! runtime. This is also done for compatibility with older versions of glibc,
10 //! and to avoid creating dependencies on GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols. It assumes that
11 //! we've been dynamically linked to the library the symbol comes from, but that
12 //! is currently always the case for things like libpthread/libc.
14 //! A long time ago this used weak linkage for the __pthread_get_minstack
15 //! symbol, but that caused Debian to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned
16 //! dependency on libc6 (#23628) because it is GLIBC_PRIVATE. We now use `dlsym`
17 //! for a runtime lookup of that symbol to avoid the ELF versioned dependency.
19 // There are a variety of `#[cfg]`s controlling which targets are involved in
20 // each instance of `weak!` and `syscall!`. Rather than trying to unify all of
21 // that, we'll just allow that some unix targets don't use this module at all.
