Take a look at firmware/include/dir_uncached.h. There you see:

In firmware/export/config/sim.h, you have "#define CONFIG_PLATFORM
(PLATFORM_HOSTED|PLATFORM_SDL)" As a result, sim prefixes are applied
for the uncached directory types and functions.

In firmware/include/dir.h, you have:
> #ifdef HAVE_DIRCACHE
*snip*
> # define rmdir rmdir_cached
> #else
*snip*
> # define rmdir rmdir_uncached
> #endif

(It also handles the other stuff; I just edited here it to shorten it.)
On the sim, if HAVE_DIRCACHE is defined, plugins access directories via
dircache, and dircache accesses them via the sim_ functions. On sims
without dircache, directory access is via the _uncached functions, which
are actually the sim_ functions.

Applications have their own section in below the sim_ section in
dir_uncached.h

In this case, you see the same thing happens for all functions other
than readdir() and closedir(). If you scroll back to the top, you'll see
that the removed app_readdir() and app_closedir() functions in plugin.c
only called readdir() and closedir(). The other app_ functions exist
because paths need to be translated. The other _uncached functions may
be sim_ functions from earlier defines.

I didn't remove the opendir_func, closedir_func and readdir_func
typedefs and casts because they weren't causing problems, I didn't
understand their purpose, and I wasn't sure that their removal wouldn't
cause compile errors in some situations. If they're unneeded, they
should be removed.

When creating the r31089 patch, I only examined current code. It would
have been better if I looked at history, found r28929, and contacted you
about reverting that. Sorry about that.

File functions have the same system, via firmware/include/file.h.
However, the defines for directory functions simply define names, and
defines for the file functions use function-like macros such as:
# define creat(x,m) sim_creat(x,m)
In this case, in a sim, a call to creat() will call sim_creat(), but
creat means the address of the system creat() function. So, PREFIX() is
required on file functions, and r28927 was needed to fix a problem.
However, I wonder if it would be better to remove the parameters from
the defines, allowing things to work without PREFIX().

I hope this helps explain r31089 changes.
