Description SOUMENDRA GANGULY 2020-12-15 14:24:11 UTC
Created attachment 220579 [details]
lib/libc/gen/termios.c.diff

Patches for adding tcgetwinsize() and tcsetwinsize() functions that are now available in NetBSD and are expected to be a part of POSIX.1 issue 8. These functions get/set tty winsize respectively. Please see https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1151#c3856.

If these patches are accepted, then please add a comment to remind me to supply my preferred email address. The Bugzilla account email address is unsuitable for a commit. Thank you.

Comment 3 Konstantin Belousov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-12-15 23:09:02 UTC
Your test program cannot link with your patch.  termios.h changes, esp. the move of headers, are wrong.

Comment 5 SOUMENDRA GANGULY 2020-12-16 04:07:39 UTC
Sir, thank you for notifying me about this. I have now restored the order in termios.h. Additionally, I have #include-d <sys/ioctl.h>; we need it for struct winsize. According to the POSIX proposal, the tcgetwinsize() and tcsetwinsize() declarations need to be in termios.h.

I left termios.c.diff and the test program unchanged. Please let me know if there are any more problems.
Comment 6 Konstantin Belousov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-12-16 04:24:29 UTC
sys/ioctl.h must not be included into posix header, it contaminates user namespace.
You test program still cannot link.

Use phabricator to submit patches, https://reviews.freebsd.org
Comment 7 SOUMENDRA GANGULY 2020-12-16 11:36:15 UTC
Sir, I have created a phabricator account. Can you please approve it? The email address is the same as that of this Bugzilla account.

I have made an observation. Both the NetBSD and the OpenBSD versions of termios.h only have sys/ttydefaults.h in the last block after the #endif /* !_TERMIOS_H_ */:

https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/sys/termios.h
https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/sys/termios.h

glibc does something similar: https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/master/termios/termios.h although their sys/ttydefaults.h is being included in the protected block.

FreeBSD's termios.h was changed from https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/include/termios.h?revision=191882&view=markup to https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/include/termios.h?revision=199898&view=markup when ttycom.h suddenly got moved to the last block; there is no explanation in the SVN "commit message" as to why that was done. I suspect that it was a mistake.

If you think that my claim is correct, then I will replace the #include <sys/ioctl.h> in my diff with a #include <sys/ttycom.h> and remove the #include <sys/ttycom.h> from the final block; sys/ttycom.h contains the definition of struct winsize needed for tcgetwinsize() and tcsetwinsize(). Basically, then it will look like the NetBSD header: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/sys/termios.h

Thank you for your time.

Comment 9 SOUMENDRA GANGULY 2020-12-16 11:45:20 UTC
I updated termios.h.diff to demonstrate what I was proposing in my last comment. There is no need to test it; I have not tested the patches on phabricator yet. Thank you.

Added the Symbol.map file. It should now link after rebuilding libc. I will now also submit this patch to phabricator.

    Add tcgetwinsize(3) and tcsetwinsize(3) to termios

    These functions get/set tty winsize respectively, and are trivial wrappers
    around corresponding termio ioctls.

    The functions are expected to be a part of POSIX.1 issue 8:
    https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1151#c3856.
    They are currently available in NetBSD and in musl libc.

Comment 15 SOUMENDRA GANGULY 2020-12-26 14:55:35 UTC
In https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27650, I had written: "OTOH, while it's not a big deal anymore, I wonder why some of the other platforms such as NetBSD have chosen to not put the winsize materials under _NETBSD_SOURCE."

Here lies the answer to the question: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2017/10/21/msg010899.html

Basically, Christos Zoulas cleverly avoided the namespace contamination by letting sys/ttycom.h only make visible struct winsize when _NETBSD_SOURCE is not defined: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/sys/ttycom.h

My OCD is now satisfied.

Comment 17 Robert Clausecker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-08 11:28:37 UTC
Note that for full implementation of POSIX issue 1151, the sys/signal.h header will need to be changed to expose SIGWINCH even when _BSD_VISIBLE is not defined.  While probably too late for 13.0, this change is needed at some point.
Comment 18 Konstantin Belousov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-08 21:25:29 UTC
(In reply to Robert Clausecker from comment #17)
To implement this change, we need a released POSIX version.
