byte-based C locale, phase 3: make MB_CUR_MAX variable to activate code

this patch activates the new byte-based C locale (high bytes treated
as abstract code unit "characters" rather than decoded as multibyte
characters) by making the value of MB_CUR_MAX depend on the active
locale. for the C locale, the LC_CTYPE category pointer is null,
yielding a value of 1. all other locales yield a value of 4.

add multiple inclusion guard to locale_impl.h


# 04b8360a 06-Jun-2015 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

remove redefinition of MB_CUR_MAX in locale_impl.h

unless/until the byte-based C locale is implemented, defining
MB_CUR_MAX to 1 in the C locale is wrong. no internal code currently
uses the MB_CUR_MAX macro, but having it defined inconsistently is
error-prone. applications get the value from stdlib.h and were
unaffected.

make static C and C.UTF-8 locales available outside of newlocale

overhaul locale internals to treat categories roughly uniformly

previously, LC_MESSAGES was treated specially as the only category
which could be set to a locale name without a definition file, in
order to facilitate gettext message translations when no libc locale
was available. LC_NUMERIC was completely un-settable, and LC_CTYPE
stored a flag intended to be used for a possible future byte-based C
locale, instead of storing a __locale_map pointer like the other
categories use.

this patch changes all categories to be represented by pointers to
__locale_map structures, and allows locale names without definition
files to be treated as valid locales with trivial definition when used
in any category. outwardly visible functional changes should be minor,
limited mainly to the strings read back from setlocale and the way
gettext handles translations in categories other than LC_MESSAGES.

various internal refactoring has also been performed, and improvements
in const correctness have been made.


# 68630b55 15-May-2015 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

eliminate costly tricks to avoid TLS access for current locale state

the code being removed used atomics to track whether any threads might
be using a locale other than the current global locale, and whether
any threads might have abstract 8-bit (non-UTF-8) LC_CTYPE active, a
feature which was never committed (still pending). the motivations
were to support early execution prior to setup of the thread pointer,
to partially support systems (ancient kernels) where thread pointer
setup is not possible, and to avoid high performance cost on archs
where accessing the thread pointer may be very slow.

since commit 19a1fe670acb3ab9ead0fe31859ca7d4fe40dd54, the thread
pointer is always available, so these hacks are no longer needed.
removing them greatly simplifies the affected code.


# 41421d6b 26-Jul-2014 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

implement mo file string lookup for translations

the core is based on a binary search; hash table is not used. both
native and reverse-endian mo files are supported. all offsets read
from the mapped mo file are checked against the mapping size to
prevent the possibility of reads outside the mapping.

this commit has no observable effects since there are not yet any
callers to the message translation code.


# 6cb4f91d 24-Jul-2014 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

implement locale file loading and state for remaining locale categories

there is still no code which actually uses the loaded locale files, so
the main observable effect of this commit is that calls to setlocale
store and give back the names of the selected locales for the
remaining categories (LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY) if a locale
file by the requested name could be loaded.


# 0bc03091 02-Jul-2014 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

add locale framework

this commit adds non-stub implementations of setlocale, duplocale,
newlocale, and uselocale, along with the data structures and minimal
code needed for representing the active locale on a per-thread basis
and optimizing the common case where thread-local locale settings are
not in use.

at this point, the data structures only contain what is necessary to
represent LC_CTYPE (a single flag) and LC_MESSAGES (a name for use in
finding message translation files). representation for the other
categories will be added later; the expectation is that a single
pointer will suffice for each.

for LC_CTYPE, the strings "C" and "POSIX" are treated as special; any
other string is accepted and treated as "C.UTF-8". for other
categories, any string is accepted after being truncated to a maximum
supported length (currently 15 bytes). for LC_MESSAGES, the name is
kept regardless of whether libc itself can use such a message
translation locale, since applications using catgets or gettext should
be able to use message locales libc is not aware of. for other
categories, names which are not successfully loaded as locales (which,
at present, means all names) are treated as aliases for "C". setlocale
never fails.

locale settings are not yet used anywhere, so this commit should have
no visible effects except for the contents of the string returned by
setlocale.


# 9448b051 22-Jul-2013 Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>

refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compat

the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic
alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in.

this commit is intended to have no functional changes except:
- exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require
- changing the C++ name mangling for some types
- fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed)
- fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64
- making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical)

in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit
archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is
non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types
mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly,
and only at build-time, not runtime.

the following changes were made in the interest of moving
non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the
headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve
application compatibility:
- netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t)
- netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h
- sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval)
- sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t)
- langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item)

for the types in stdint.h:
- types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of
the alltypes system.
- fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only
the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch.

and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes;
- mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t
- FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE
- DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream
- locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct
- pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only
- fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t
- fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t
- idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX)
- nl_catd has been changed from long to void *
- siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed
- sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t
- stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack
- suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs
- [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs
- dev_t has been made unsigned

summary of tests that have been performed against these changes:
- nsz's libc-test (diff -u before and after)
- C++ ABI check symbol dump (diff -u before, after, glibc)
- grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes
- built gcc 3.4.6
