Bug 16458 reports that the endian-conversion macros in <endian.h> and
<netinet/in.h>, in the case where no endian conversion is needed, just
return their arguments without converting to the expected return type,
so failing to act as expected for a macro version of a function. (The
<netinet/in.h> macros, in particular, are described with prototypes in
POSIX so should act like correspondingly prototyped functions.)
Where previously this was a fairly obscure issue, it now results in
glibc build with GCC mainline breaking for big-endian systems:
nss_hesiod/hesiod-service.c: In function '_nss_hesiod_getservbyport_r':
nss_hesiod/hesiod-service.c:142:39: error: '%d' directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 11 bytes into a region of size 6 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf (portstr, sizeof portstr, "%d", ntohs (port));
^~
nss_hesiod/hesiod-service.c:142:38: note: using the range [1, -2147483648] for directive argument
snprintf (portstr, sizeof portstr, "%d", ntohs (port));
^~~~
nss_hesiod/hesiod-service.c:142:3: note: format output between 2 and 12 bytes into a destination of size 6
snprintf (portstr, sizeof portstr, "%d", ntohs (port));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The port argument is passed as int to this function, so when ntohs
does not convert the compiler cannot tell that the result is within
the range of uint16_t. (I don't know if in fact it's possible for
out-of-range values to reach this function and so get truncated as
strings without this patch or as integers with it.)
This patch arranges for these macros to use identity functions to
ensure appropriate conversions while having warnings for implicit
conversions of function arguments that might not occur with a cast.
Tested for x86_64 and x86; with build-many-glibcs.py with GCC 6; and
with build-many-glibcs.py with GCC mainline for powerpc to test the
build fix.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later suffices. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
