Add initial support for the MUSL C library.

Summary

This patch adds the LIBCXX_LIBC_IS_MUSL cmake option to allow the
building of libcxx with the Musl C library. The option is necessary as
Musl does not provide any predefined macro in order to test for its
presence, like GLIBC. Most of the changes specify the correct path to
choose through the various #if/#else constructs in the locale code.

Depends on D13407.

LGTM, with one small nit (and once D13407 lands):

I don't think this is ready to go. Please don't commit yet. Sorry @jroelofs.

Please name the macro "_LIBCPP_HAS_MUSL_LIBC" for consistency.

Where does the __GLIBC__ macro definition come from? I thought it came from the C library headers but we don't include any!

No need for the check to look at GLIBC anyway... _LIBCXX_LIBC_IS_MUSL would be available here, so you should be testing for: !defined(_LIBCXX_LIBC_IS_MUSL) instead (or however that flag ends up being named).

This comment was cargo-culted from include/support/xlocale/xlocale.h... Given that this is musl-specific, I don't think it makes sense to call this file "shared" in the same sense that the other one is.

Sounds good to me.

Should I rename the corresponding cmake option too?

Thanks for the quick turn around. This patch is almost ready to land but still needs a couple more changes.

No need for whitespace.

Since musl depends on support headers you should add a CMake check that ensures LIBCXX_INSTALL_SUPPORT_HEADERS is not turned off when LIBCXX_LIBC_IS_MUSL is ON.

It looks like this header uses more symbols than are just provided by cstdlib. Please add the required includes.

Where did the __NetBSD__ case go?

Yes please, I wasn't going to ask but I would prefer LIBCXX_HAS_MUSL_LIBC.

Sorry for the delay.

Addressed reviewer comments and modifed CMake to check that
LIBCXX_INSTALL_SUPPORT_HEADERS is not turned off when LIBCXX_LIBC_IS_MUSL is ON.

It's in the previous #line directive, check line 956.

Thanks for the update, I think this should be good to go. I'll give it a final once over tonight.

Ah, sorry I missed that. So this was an existing bug. Thanks.

Thanks for the review!

Everything seems fine from the buildbots except for a single test that failed:

http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-x86_64-linux-debian/builds/730

The next build (731) of that buildbot was green. Is libc++::try_lock_shared_for.pass.cpp a known flakey test?

Yep. That's a flaky test. No need to worry.

@vkalintiris @jroelofs Is it possible to detect Musl through some macro? I'd like to get rid of the CMake option -- this isn't the sort of property that we want to set explicitly at configure time, it's the sort of property we want to sniff out in the library instead.

I wish there was. Last I remember talking about it, Rich Felker was really against having one. I doubt this has changed.

Thanks for the context. This is a very puristic point of view from the musl author.. not very useful. There are things that are difficult to detect with a check like __has_feature or similar, and having a macro to detect the library is necessary.
