identifier "__locale_t" is undefined

[erling_andersen]

I just upgraded our Intel C to

composer_xe_2011_sp1.8.273

but now gets errors as shown below. Any suggestions?

...Any suggestions?...

src/cpub/countcpu.c/usr/include/string.h(546): error: identifier "__locale_t" is undefined __locale_t __loc)

It looks like some headers are not included. My version of 'string.h' doesn't have any references to '_locale_t'.

I think those definitions are in an include file.

Some more information. On another system it works. I have included some information about the diference in string.h file for those 2 systems.

Good system:

#ifdef __USE_GNU

/* The following functions are equivalent to the both above but they

take the locale they use for the collation as an extra argument.

This is not standardsized but something like will come. */

# include

/* Compare the collated forms of S1 and S2 using rules from L. */

extern int strcoll_l (__const char *__s1, __const char *__s2, __locale_t __l)

__THROW __attribute_pure__ __nonnull ((1, 2, 3));

/* Put a transformation of SRC into no more than N bytes of DEST. */

extern size_t strxfrm_l (char *__dest, __const char *__src, size_t __n,

__locale_t __l) __THROW __nonnull ((2, 4));

#endif

Bad system:

#ifdef __USE_XOPEN2K8

/* The following functions are equivalent to the both above but they

take the locale they use for the collation as an extra argument.

This is not standardsized but something like will come. */

# include

/* Compare the collated forms of S1 and S2 using rules from L. */

extern int strcoll_l (__const char *__s1, __const char *__s2, __locale_t __l)

__THROW __attribute_pure__ __nonnull ((1, 2, 3));

/* Put a transformation of SRC into no more than N bytes of DEST. */

extern size_t strxfrm_l (char *__dest, __const char *__src, size_t __n,

__locale_t __l) __THROW __nonnull ((2, 4));

#endif

/* Return a malloc'd copy of at most N bytes of STRING. The

resultant string is terminated even if no null terminator

appears before STRING. */

#if defined __USE_XOPEN2K8

extern char *strndup (__const char *__string, size_t __n)

__THROW __attribute_malloc__ __nonnull ((1));

#endif

I do not have the problem on CentOS 5.6 but the problem is on CentOS 6.2.

So the issue seems to be related to version of the OS and hence to the installed include files.

FYI.

We build the gcc compiler ourself. It seems if GCC is build on old platform without Posix 2008 support then things does not work.

We now rebuild gcc on a newer system and it works then.

Thank you for posting the reason and solution here.
