+// Implementation derived from `weak` in Rust's

+
+//! Support for "weak linkage" to symbols on Unix
+//!
+//! Some I/O operations we do in libstd require newer versions of OSes but we
+//! need to maintain binary compatibility with older releases for now. In order
+//! to use the new functionality when available we use this module for
+//! detection.
+//!
+//! One option to use here is weak linkage, but that is unfortunately only
+//! really workable on Linux. Hence, use dlsym to get the symbol value at
+//! runtime. This is also done for compatibility with older versions of glibc,
+//! and to avoid creating dependencies on `GLIBC_PRIVATE` symbols. It assumes
+//! that we've been dynamically linked to the library the symbol comes from,
+//! but that is currently always the case for things like libpthread/libc.
+//!
+//! A long time ago this used weak linkage for the `__pthread_get_minstack`
+//! symbol, but that caused Debian to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned
+//! dependency on libc6 (#23628).
+
+// There are a variety of `#[cfg]`s controlling which targets are involved in
+// each instance of `weak!` and `syscall!`. Rather than trying to unify all of
+// that, we'll just allow that some unix targets don't use this module at all.
