Yes I agree, I meant for GSoC I am focusing on "POSIX Compilance"
But any project ideas, old/new, always trigger my curiosity, the reason I
asked it in the query, we can work on it.

Yah it was clear. I am following the steps you said.
-Have got FACE Technical Standard pdf.
-I found that aio.h has got its palce in newlib.
-Still exploring and analysing.

 Just to be clear, I am not discouraging this as a project. I just think
 it needs some homework to.make sure it is feasible.

Re: Query Regarding Old Projects, for GSoC 2019

[Joel Sherrill]

It's always good to discuss old project ideas and make sure they are still
sane and useful.

On the POSIX Compliance, I am make sure it is said publicly that methods
included in
FACE Technical Standard profiles that are missing are the highest priority
to add. And
this is documented in the Compliance document.

 If it cannot be cross-compiled it would be hard to maintain long term.

 I also wondered. There is an abstraction in the POSIX platform code for
 mmap so
 a grep would let us know.

Re: Query Regarding Old Projects, for GSoC 2019

[Vaibhav Gupta]

After having off-list discussion with Dr Joel, I have already got a
direction in project "POSIX Compilance" and I am giving my all time,
solely, on that only.
.
But I am thankful to community that they gave their attention on this
query, of mine.

I'm a bit concerned that it may require things RTEMS does not have. Does it
mmap in ways we don't support? I doubt it forks new processes but that has
to be answered. Some basic research plus an attempt to compile it for RTEMS
with problem sections disabled is a good first step of any porting
evaluation.

FWIW I looked at porting the PDF viewer from chromium to RTEMS. Their build
system seemed quite complex.

I suggest you create a ticket for this project like the other GSoC tickets we
have and add some additional details ..

- Please list the archs supported, this is viewable in the src tree.
- Add something about needing Chromium's depot_tools. I see FreeBSD is not
  listed but chromium is available on FreeBSD.
- Investigate the build system and if it is possible to cross-compile.

Query Regarding Old Projects, for GSoC 2019

[Vaibhav Gupta]

I was exploring for more open projects and found the following one.

- Port V8 Javascript Engine :
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Projects/Open/V8

Not much information is given about it and even the above link was modified
in 2015. I want to know if the project is open for GSOC 2019?
If it is open, then It would be great to know if someone would like to
mentor it. I would like to discuss further on it.
