[libunwind] Drop the dependency on <algorithm>, add placement new inline
ClosedPublic

Authored by phosek on Jan 25 2019, 3:31 PM.

Details

Summary

We haven't eliminated C++ library dependency altogether in D57251,
UnwindCursor.hpp had an unused dependency on <algorithm> which was
pulling in other C++ headers. Removing that dependency also revealed
(correctly) that we need our own global placement new declaration. Now
libunwind should be independent of the C++ library.

Should you add -nostdinc++ to the compilation flags to drive home that this code can't depend on any library headers?

Why do we need to define this? I thought placement new was handled by Clang directly, without requiring a declaration?

That's what I assumed but that doesn't seem to be the case, without this definition the compilation fails because Clang cannot find the operator new.

Done, we were already using -nostdinc++ but we were also adding libc++ include path explicitly into the list of include directories, so I dropped that logic and made -nostdinc++ unconditional.

Actually I think you're right, if I only provide declaration, Clang handles the definition.

Spelling nitpick: "should not depend on", or "is not dependent on"

This patch breaks compilation of Unwind-seh.cpp, which also needs a declaration of the placement new operator.

Thanks for checking, this should be fixed now.

Thanks, now it does indeed seem to build fine for me.

Just to confirm -- this is handled by #include <stdlib.h> because we use the global ::getenv() function, right?

I missed some more C++ library uses in UnwindCursor.hpp and Unwind-EHABI.cpp which broke Arm bots and so I had to revert the change. This should now be addressed. Please let me know if this is okay to submit.

I believe the code looks good, although I haven't tested the EHABI unwinding code after this change to see if it still works.

As much as I hate duplicating stuff like upper_bound, I find the removal of the circular dependency so nice that I don't care.

I have exactly the same feeling about this one ;)
