Hi,
I have written notes for "GNU C library" BOF presented at
Cauldron. I would be grateful if you would review it for me.
GNU C library BOF
Author: Carlos O'Donell
glibc (GNU C library) is available on most GNU systems
with the Linux kernel. It follows all relevant standards including
ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008. It's designed to be a portable
and high performance library.
Highlights of BOF:
- Planning for glibc 2.21 and what work needs to be done
between the August -> January 2015 timeframe
- Discussions on issues regarding fmemopen, fd locking,
Wundef.
Alternate libm implementations:
- Red Hat is working on supporting alternate libm
implementation, with support for low precision and high precision.
- Intel is looking to add math functions that work on small vectors.
Address Sanitizer:
- glibc has been built with address sanitizer. Efforts are being
made to integrate it with the build system.
- Mentor Graphics planning to port glibc to NIOS II.
It shall have to wait until Linux kernel patches are in a
kernel release.
- AArch64 ILP32 ABI: Kernel patches currently in review.
Work related to compiler is done.
- Port to OpenRISC.
- Port to NaCl (nptl)
Thanks,
Prathamesh
