weak.rs

//! Support for "weak linkage" to symbols on Unix
//!
//! Some I/O operations we do in std require newer versions of OSes but we need
//! to maintain binary compatibility with older releases for now. In order to
//! use the new functionality when available we use this module for detection.
//!
//! One option to use here is weak linkage, but that is unfortunately only
//! really workable with ELF. Otherwise, use dlsym to get the symbol value at
//! runtime. This is also done for compatibility with older versions of glibc,
//! and to avoid creating dependencies on GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols. It assumes that
//! we've been dynamically linked to the library the symbol comes from, but that
//! is currently always the case for things like libpthread/libc.
//!
//! A long time ago this used weak linkage for the __pthread_get_minstack
//! symbol, but that caused Debian to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned
//! dependency on libc6 (#23628) because it is GLIBC_PRIVATE. We now use `dlsym`
//! for a runtime lookup of that symbol to avoid the ELF versioned dependency.

// There are a variety of `#[cfg]`s controlling which targets are involved in
// each instance of `weak!` and `syscall!`. Rather than trying to unify all of
// that, we'll just allow that some unix targets don't use this module at all.
