libuv @1.29.1: Undefined symbols for architecture i386: "_close$NOCANCEL"

[kencu (Ken)]

I haven't totally sorted this out yet.

There is a new function in src/unix/core.c to make a non-cancellable close() function on systems that support that.

They have implemented this on darwin as close$NOCANCEL, but I think this function might be only 64 bit. At least when I try to build it on a 32bit OS, or when I try to build it +universal, I run into errors like the above.

Not fully sure what the right fix is. Adding an __LP64__ like this does fix the +universal build. Maybe that is the right fix. Perhaps there is some other function to call for 32bit?

int uv__close_nocancel(int fd) {
-#if defined(__APPLE__)
+#if defined(__APPLE__) && __LP64__
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdollar-in-identifier-extension"
  extern int close$NOCANCEL(int);
  return close$NOCANCEL(fd);
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
#elif defined(__linux__)
  return syscall(SYS_close, fd);
#else
  return close(fd);
#endif
}

also - you'll notice some #pragma calls inside the function definition in the function above, so gcc-4.2 barfs on that, and we have to remove those for gcc-4.2.

This looks pretty comprehensive too: <​https://github.com/lionheart/openradar-mirror/issues/4506>

This appears to work too, and looks probably better:

int uv__close_nocancel(int fd) {
#if defined(__APPLE__)
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdollar-in-identifier-extension"
#if __LP64__
  extern int close$NOCANCEL(int);
  return close$NOCANCEL(fd);
#else
  extern int close$NOCANCEL$UNIX2003(int);
  return close$NOCANCEL$UNIX2003(fd);
#endif
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
#elif defined(__linux__)
  return syscall(SYS_close, fd);
#else
  return close(fd);
#endif
}

don't know yet about Tiger or PPC.

In 1735bb1417aa634f94d7127c4c127f3d5f50e8e9/macports-ports (master):

libuv: bump older systems to 1.29.1

add patch for older gcc versions to not error on pragmas
add patch for 32bit code to link correctly
add bypass path for Tiger, that doesn't seem to have

a non-cancellable close function available
