A bunch of function definitions were moved<br>
out of the std namespace and into the global.<br>
That change is incorrect.</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Slightly updated version attached. I should probably explain what's going on here in more detail:</div><div><br></div><div>Per [c.strings]p4-p13, we're supposed to replace C functions of the form</div><div><br></div><div> char *foo(const char*);</div><div><br></div><div>with a pair of const-correct overloads of the form</div><div><br></div><div> char *foo(char *);</div><div> const char *foo(const char*);</div><div><br></div><div>Now, most C standard libraries will do this for us when included in C++ mode (because it's not possible for the C++ library to fix this up after the fact). For the cases where we *don't* believe we have such a considerate C library, we add one declaration to C's overload, to get:</div><div><br></div><div> char *foo(char*);</div><div> char *foo(const char*)</div><div><br></div><div>... which doesn't really help much, but is the closest we can get to the right set of declarations. The declarations we add just dispatch to the C declarations.</div><div><br></div><div>These new declarations *should* be in the global namespace when including <string.h>, and it makes sense for us to put them in the global namespace when including <cstring> (otherwise, that header leaves us with a broken overload set in the global namespace, containing just one of the two expected functions).</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, most of the above is a description of what we did before. What's new here is that we attempt to fix the overload set for both <string.h> and for <cstring>, not just for the latter. At the end of all these changes, you'll see that all that the <cfoo> headers do is to include the <foo.h> header and use using-declarations to pull the names into namespace std; this is no exception to that pattern.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Per Eric and my discussion on IRC, the pattern used by <cwchar> seems better here:</div><div><br></div><div>If libc has left us with a bad overload set, don't try to fix the names in ::, just provide a complete set of overloads in namespace std.</div><div><br></div><div>A patch for that approach is attached.</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>
