[Buildroot] [PATCH 07/21] pulseaudio: remove BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS dependency

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2016-01-25 00:07 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> pulseaudio is able to either use the atomic __sync builtins from the
> compiler, or to rely on libatomic_ops for atomic operations. However,
> since it anyway selects json-c which requires the __sync built-ins, it
> means using libatomic_ops is useless: even if you use libatomic_ops
> for pulseaudio, you'd still get a link error in pulseaudio due to the
> missing __sync built-in for the json-c library.
> 
> Also, since pulseaudio now inherits the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4 from
> json-c, which matches the __sync built-in from pulseaudio, this
> commit:
> 
>  - Drops the BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS dependency
>  - Forces pulseaudio to not detect libatomic_ops
>  - Propagates the removal of BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS dependency to
>    pulseaudio's reverse dependencies.

In retrospect, I think this dependency should be added in the previous
patch.

Yes, BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS is a superset of BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4,
still it would be more logical to add it at the time the depednency on
_SYNC_4 is added.

Ditto for all comments, of course.

What happens if pulseaudio detects libatomic_ops? Is it "bad" or just
merely "harmless"?
