Bug ID: 104883 Summary: <system_error> should define all std::errc enumerators Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Currently we only define std::errc enumerators when the OS defines the corresponding errno macro: #ifdef EOVERFLOW value_too_large = EOVERFLOW, #endif Which causes errors when we rely on that being present, e.g. for AVR: /home/jwakely/src/gcc/build-avr/avr/libstdc++-v3/include/charconv: In function ‘std::to_chars_result std::__detail::__to_chars(char*, char*, _Tp, int)’: /home/jwakely/src/gcc/build-avr/avr/libstdc++-v3/include/charconv:132:28: error: ‘value_too_large’ is not a member of ‘std::errc’; did you mean ‘file_too_large’? 132 | __res.ec = errc::value_too_large; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | file_too_large And src/filesystem/ops-common.h does this to workaround the fact that std::errc::not_supported isn't always defined: inline error_code __unsupported() noexcept { #if defined ENOTSUP return std::make_error_code(std::errc::not_supported); #elif defined EOPNOTSUPP // This is supposed to be for socket operations return std::make_error_code(std::errc::operation_not_supported); #else return std::make_error_code(std::errc::invalid_argument); #endif } We should consider defining all the enumerators unconditionally, picking values outside the range used by the OS for <errno.h> constants, e.g. #ifdef EOVERFLOW value_too_large = EOVERFLOW, #else value_too_large = 1001, #endif The tricky part is picking a value range that doesn't clash with the OS. For the OS-specific headers such as config/os/mingw32-w64/error_constants.h we can just inspect <errno.h> and make an educated choice. For config/os/generic/error_constants.h maybe we want to do something in configure or with the preprocessor to find the largest value among all the errno macros that *are* defined, and add 100. Or just take a gamble and assume the OS uses small numbers and we can start from 1000, or 32000, or something.
