Summary:
Freestanding is *weird*. The standard allows it to differ in a bunch of odd
manners from regular C++, and the committee would like to improve that
situation. I'd like to make libc++ behave better with what freestanding should
be, so that it can be a tool we use in improving the standard. To do that we
need to try stuff out, both with "freestanding the language mode" and
"freestanding the library subset".
Let's start with the super basic: run the libc++ tests in freestanding, using
clang as the compiler, and see what works. The easiest hack to do this:
In utils/libcxx/test/config.py add:
self.cxx.compile_flags += ['-ffreestanding']
Run the tests and they all fail.
Why? Because in freestanding `main` isn't special. This "not special" property
has two effects: main doesn't get mangled, and main isn't allowed to omit its
`return` statement. The first means main gets mangled and the linker can't
create a valid executable for us to test. The second means we spew out warnings
(ew) and the compiler doesn't insert the `return` we omitted, and main just
falls of the end and does whatever undefined behavior (if you're luck, ud2
leading to non-zero return code).
Let's start my work with the basics. This patch changes all libc++ tests to
declare `main` as `int main(int, char**` so it mangles consistently (enabling us
to declare another `extern "C"` main for freestanding which calls the mangled
one), and adds `return 0;` to all places where it was missing. This touches 6124
files, and I apologize.
The former was done with The Magic Of Sed.
The later was done with a (not quite correct but decent) clang tool:
https://gist.github.com/jfbastien/793819ff360baa845483dde81170feed
This works for most tests, though I did have to adjust a few places when e.g.
the test runs with `-x c`, macros are used for main (such as for the filesystem
tests), etc.
Once this is in we can create a freestanding bot which will prevent further
regressions. After that, we can start the real work of supporting C++
freestanding fairly well in libc++.

to reflect the new license. These used slightly different spellings that
defeated my regular expressions.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

The test is trying to avoid saying aligned_alloc on Windows' UCRT, which does not (and can not) implement aligned_alloc. However, it's testing for c1xx, meaning clang on Windows will fail this test when using the UCRT.

Back in r240527 I added a knob to prevent thread-unsafe functions from
being exposed. mblen(), mbtowc() and wctomb() were also added to this
list, as the latest issue of POSIX doesn't require these functions to be
thread-safe.
It turns out that the only circumstance in which these functions are not
thread-safe is in case they are used in combination with state-dependent
character sets (e.g., Shift-JIS). According to Austin Group Bug 708,
these character sets "[...] are mostly a relic of the past and which
were never supported on most POSIX systems".
Though in many cases the use of these functions can be prevented by
using the reentrant counterparts, they are the only functions that allow
you to query whether the locale's character set is state-dependent. This
means that omitting these functions removes actual functionality.
Let's be a bit less pedantic and drop the guards around these functions.

One of the aspects of CloudABI is that it aims to help you write code
that is thread-safe out of the box. This is very important if you want
to write libraries that are easy to reuse. For CloudABI we decided to
not provide the thread-unsafe functions. So far this is working out
pretty well, as thread-unsafety issues are detected really early on.
The following patch adds a knob to libc++,
_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_THREAD_UNSAFE_C_FUNCTIONS, that can be set to disable
thread-unsafe functions that can easily be avoided in practice. The
following functions are not thread-safe:
- <clocale>: locale handles should be preferred over setlocale().
- <cstdlib>: mbrlen(), mbrtowc() and wcrtomb() should be preferred over
their non-restartable counterparts.
- <ctime>: asctime(), ctime(), gmtime() and localtime() are not
thread-safe. The first two are also deprecated by POSIX.
