Hi!
module;
#include <cstdarg>
export module pr124565;
export namespace std {
using std::va_list;
}
fails on alpha-linux with -fmodules:
pr124565.cc:5:14: error: exporting ‘typedef __gnuc_va_list va_list’ that does
not have external linkage
<built-in>: note: ‘typedef struct __va_list_tag __va_list_tag’ declared here
with internal linkage
It doesn't fail on x86_64-linux because there va_list is __va_list_tag[]
(i.e. array type), while on alpha-linux it is __va_list_tag itself; and the
module code calls decl_linkage on it and returns lk_internal for C++11 and
later.
Now, decl_linkage on x86_64-linux on __va_list_tag directly also returns
incorrectly lk_internal, and as I have no way to test alpha, I've
bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux the following patch.
IMHO it is still desirable even there even when it is just a latent issue.
Ok for trunk?
