SUNPro 5.12 compilation failure in optimized Linux builds

Optimized (but not debug) builds fail to compile setlocale.cpp with the error:

$ cat t.cpp; CC -c t.cpp
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <cwchar>
"/opt/sunpro/12_3/prod/include/cc/wchar.h", line 90: Error: tm is not defined.
"/opt/sunpro/12_3/prod/include/cc/wchar.h", line 92: Error: fgetwc is not defined.
...

and so on for every wide-char function in wchar.h.

The definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE at the top of setlocale.cpp is not entirely 
correct in that it interacts with the various guards in the C library headers. 
AFAICT, Oracle/Sun wchar.h includes C library wchar.h, which includes C library 
wctype.h, which includes again wchar.h, coming full circle to the compiler 
wchar.h which uses the names w/o them being defined, yet. The fact that 
Oracle/Sun headers include_next corresponding C library headers outside of a 
inclusion guard does not help.

(Debug builds are not affected because of interaction from the difference in the 
structure and includes of rw/_traits.h in debug vs. optimized builds).

The poor man's fix is to guard that _XOPEN_SOURCE define for SUNPro builds (see 
below). However, I am not sure whose side the error is.

Thanks,
Liviu

PS. Is it still called SUNPro? Oracles seems it has sanitized that name out on 
their website.

I successfully tested the patch with GCC 3.4.6 on RHEL 4.8,
with GLIBC 2.3.4, the oldest Linux distribution I could get
my hands on.

That said, by my reading of POSIX, to get the definition of
S_IFDIR (marked as an XSI extension), a conforming application
is supposed to define the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro (to 500 or 600
depending on the version of POSIX) in order to get the former
macro defined. POSIX also says that every conforming application
should define _POSIX_C_SOURCE before including any header. We
don't try to do that (on Linux, GCC defines _GNU_SOURCE which
I think takes care of it, but I'm not sure we can count on it
with all other compilers on all other UNIX systems).

In any case, I think the patch is fine.

I am posting it here to save a trip to the JIRA issue. Any feed-back is appreciated.

"The issue can be tracked down to the interaction between the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE in src/setlocale.cpp and util/path.cpp, the system headers, and Solaris Studio C . It seems that the original purpose for the definitions has been lost because both S_IFDIR and symlink are defined and declared, respectively, on modern Linux (edit: by default). Moreover, it seems that the original definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE was incorrect, without a value. I propose we remove the two blocks – see the patch."
