Re: head -r336568 and -r336570 appears to have made ci.freebsg.org's FreeBSD-head-amd64-gcc fail either than it had been (error: operand type 'struct <anonymous> *' is incompatible with argument 1 of '__atomic_fetch_add')

>> Anyway, while I prefer the Clang rule, the GCC rule is defensible, as are any number of other rules.  The important point, however, is that having this discussion is not the right approach to solving this problem.  The layout of _Atomic(T) is ABI.  ABI rules are not generally determined by compiler implementors making things up as they go along, or at least they shouldn't be.  The Darwin ABI for _Atomic is the rule implemented in Clang, which we actually did think about carefully when we adopted it.  Other platforms need to make their own call, and it probably shouldn't just be "whatever's implemented in GCC", especially on other platforms where GCC is not the system compiler.

So where are you seeing this btw?  In head the conditional is different:

#if !defined(__cplusplus) && !__has_extension(c_atomic) && \
    !__has_extension(cxx_atomic)
/*
 * No native support for _Atomic(). Place object in structure to prevent
 * most forms of direct non-atomic access.
 */
#define _Atomic(T)              struct { T volatile __val; }
#endif

And external GCC does support those extensions so should end up not defining
an _Atomic macro, and in fact when I use -E with external GCC it leaves
_Atomic(int) alone:

% x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.2-gcc -E bar.c
...
# 1 "bar.c"
# 1 "/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h" 1 3 4
# 2 "bar.c" 2
# 1 "/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.2/6.4.0/include/stdatomic.h" 1 3 4
# 29 "/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.2/6.4.0/include/stdatomic.h" 3 4

# 29 "/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.2/6.4.0/include/stdatomic.h" 3 4
typedef enum
  {
    memory_order_relaxed = 0,
    memory_order_consume = 1,
    memory_order_acquire = 2,
    memory_order_release = 3,
    memory_order_acq_rel = 4,
    memory_order_seq_cst = 5
  } memory_order;


typedef _Atomic _Bool atomic_bool;
typedef _Atomic char atomic_char;
...

So cdefs.h isn't overriding _Atomic and should be using the CLANG_ATOMICS case
for external GCC.
