[libc-commits] [libc] Move LIBC_CONF_STRING_UNSAFE_WIDE_READ to top-level libc-configuration (PR #165046)

[via libc-commits]

https://github.com/Sterling-Augustine created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/165046

This options sets a compile option when building sources inside the string directory, and this option affects string_utils.h. But string_utils.h is #included from more places than just the string directory (such as from __support/CPP/string.h), leading to both narrow-reads in those cases, but more seriously, ODR violations when the two different string_length implementations are included int he same program.

Having this option at the top level avoids this problem.

Subject: [PATCH] Move LIBC_CONF_STRING_UNSAFE_WIDE_READ to top-level
 libc-configuration

This options sets a compile option when building sources inside the string
directory, and this option affects string_utils.h. But string_utils.h
is #included from more places than just the string directory (such as from
__support/CPP/string.h), leading to both narrow-reads in those cases, but
more seriously, ODR violations when the two different string_length
implementations are included int he same program.

Having this option at the top level avoids this problem.
