This patch converts the tst-signal-numbers test from shell + awk to
Python.
As with gen-as-const, the point is not so much that shell and awk are
problematic for this code, as that it's useful to build up general
infrastructure in Python for use of a range of code involving
extracting values from C headers. This patch moves some code from
gen-as-const.py to a new glibcextract.py, which also gains functions
relating to listing macros, and comparing the values of a set of
macros from compiling two different pieces of code.
It's not just signal numbers that should have such tests; pretty much
any case where glibc copies constants from Linux kernel headers should
have such tests that the values and sets of constants agree except
where differences are known to be OK. Much the same also applies to
structure layouts (although testing those without hardcoding lists of
fields to test will be more complicated).
Given this patch, another test for a set of macros would essentially
be just a call to glibcextract.compare_macro_consts (plus boilerplate
code - and we could move to having separate text files defining such
tests, like the .sym inputs to gen-as-const, so that only a single
Python script is needed for most such tests). Some such tests would
of course need new features, e.g. where the set of macros changes in
new kernel versions (so you need to allow new macro names on the
kernel side if the kernel headers are newer than the version known to
glibc, and extra macros on the glibc side if the kernel headers are
older). tst-syscall-list.sh could become a Python script that uses
common code to generate lists of macros but does other things with its
own custom logic.
There are a few differences from the existing shell + awk test.
Because the new test evaluates constants using the compiler, no
special handling is needed any more for one signal name being defined
to another. Because asm/signal.h now needs to pass through the
compiler, not just the preprocessor, stddef.h is included as well
(given the asm/signal.h issue that it requires an externally provided
definition of size_t). The previous code defined __ASSEMBLER__ with
asm/signal.h; this is removed (__ASSEMBLY__, a different macro,
eliminates the requirement for stddef.h on some but not all
architectures).
Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
alpha*-*-linux-gnu
arm-*-linux-gnueabi
hppa-*-linux-gnu
i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
