error from pthread.h

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux; X11; en_US) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko) Description of problem: When I am building packages that include /usr/include/pthread.h the compilation fails with an error message from line 530 saying that there is syntax error before void. The line reads: extern lnline void __pthread_cleanup_routine (struct __pthread_cleanup_frame *__frame) removing inline does not produce the error but I am not sure this is the right thing. Compilers etc are at toda's rawhide. Version -18 does not produce an error but seems very different than the one in -20 (does not have the above function). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-headers-2.3.4-20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update glibc-headers to 2.3.4-20 2. try to compile something that includes pthread.h 3. Additional info:
extern inline void ... is valid C, so you must be compiling some that redefines inline to something weird. Can you run gcc on whatever caused the error message in pthread.h:530 and instead of -c run it with -E -dD and attach the result here? I'll probably change that inline to __inline, but I'd like to understand first what exactly is going on.
I am compiling kdenetworks package with updates from stable branch. It is building fine with -18 glibc headers. The files causing the problem are part of gadu library under kopete. They are in directory "kdenetwork-3.4.0/kopete/protocols/gadu/libgadu". They include pthread.h and fail with error. The compilation flags are: CFLAGS = -ansi -W -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -O2 -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute CXXFLAGS = -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -fno-use-cxa-atexit -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION
Unfortunately that doesn't answer the question. Please: cd kdenetwork-3.4.0/kopete/protocols/gadu/libgadu make > LOG 2>&1 less LOG # cut'n'paste the gcc command line which compiles the file that failed, # replace -c with -E -dD and remove -o outfile attach the output of that command here Thanks.
Ok, the culprit was -ansi -fexceptions in C, which forbids inline keyword. Fixed in glibc-2.3.4-21.
