doc,
alam ko po na walang sinasabi sa Documentaion/Changes na kailangan ang isang specific
version ng libc. and being a programming student, i have browsed the files of the
kernel source before to learn some coding techniques and style, and if i remember it
right, there r include statements like:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
and fucntion calls like fprintf, write, close, fputc, etc. these r obviously calls to
the functions in the c library (libc).
pero dahil sa nabuksan ang topic na ito, i did my assignment. heto po ang resulta
(partial) ng "grep -ri stdio.h /usr/src/linux":
linux/fs/udf/crc.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/fs/udf/directory.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/fs/udf/misc.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/fs/udf/udftime.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/net/khttpd/make_times_h.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/net/hamradio/soundmodem/gentbl.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/net/zlib.c:# include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/char/conmakehash.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/char/ip2/ip2mkdev.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/char/ip2/ip2stat.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/char/ip2/ip2trace.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/scsi/cpqioctl.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/sound/bin2hex.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/sound/hex2hex.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/pci/gen-devlist.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/isdn/hisax/rawhdlc.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/zorro/gen-devlist.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/drivers/atm/fore200e_mkfirm.c:#include <stdio.h>
linux/arch/i386/boot/tools/build.c:#include <stdio.h>
maybe it is more appropriate to say that the kernel does not depend on any specific
version of libc, but does not depend on libc, hindi ko po maintindihan. meron po bang
kasamang c library yung kernel pacakage? educate me pls.
