[WebAssembly] WASI support for libcxx
ClosedPublic

Authored by sunfish on Apr 30 2019, 1:10 PM.

Details

Summary

This adds explicit support for the WASI platform to libcxx. Notes:

  • WASI libc uses some components from musl, however it's not fully compatible with musl, and this patch will allow us to stop using _LIBCPP_HAS_MUSL_LIBC and customize for WASI libc specifically.
  • in src/random.cpp, getentropy is declared in <unistd.h> on all platforms I've checked (such as OpenBSD which had it first) except Darwin.

Does WASI not define __CloudABI__?

If Fuchsia also needs this change, how come is the code working right now? I'm trying to understand the reason for this change.

Some systems declare getentropy in both sys/random.h and unistd.h (eg. GLIBC), some just in unistd.h (eg. musl), and some just in sys/random.h (eg. Darwin). Perhaps Fuchsia is in the last category -- just in sys/random.h.

It looks like a better solution here is to just make WASI libc declare getentropy in its sys/random.h, so that we don't need to change the code here. I'll update the patch here accordingly.

Drop the getentropy header file change from this patch.

No, WASI doesn't define CloudABI. It's derived from CloudABI, but contains numerous differences, so we felt it was best to not claim to be CloudABI to avoid confusion.

I don't have any objection about this patch (but I also can't test that it works).
