Should be standards compliant and with several optional features,
including support for hexadecimal float notation, locale awareness,
glibc-like locale-specific digit grouping with the `'' flag, and
positional arg support. I tested it pretty well (finding several
bugs in glibc's scanf in the process), but it is brand new so be
aware.
The *wprintf functions now support floating point output. Also, a
couple of bugs were squashed. Finally, %a/%A conversions are
now implemented.
Implement the glibc xlocale interface for thread-specific locale
support. Also add the various *_l(args, locale_t loc_arg) funcs.
NOTE!!! setlocale() is NOT threadsafe! NOTE!!!
The strto{floating point} conversion functions are now locale aware.
The also now support hexadecimal floating point notation.
Add the wcsto{floating point} conversion functions.
Fix a bug in mktime() related to dst. Note that unlike glibc's mktime,
uClibc's version always normalizes the struct tm before attempting
to determine the correct dst setting if tm_isdst == -1 on entry.
Add a stub version of the libintl functions. (untested)
Fixed a known memory leak in setlocale() related to the collation data.
Add lots of new config options (which Erik agreed to sort out :-),
including finally exposing some of the stripped down stdio configs.
Be careful with those though, as they haven't been tested in a
long time.
(temporary) GOTCHAs...
The ctype functions are currently incorrect for 8-bit locales. They
will be fixed shortly.
The ctype functions are now table-based, resulting in larger staticly
linked binaries. I'll be adding an option to use the old approach
in the stub locale configuration.
glibc 2.1.3 and ported to work with uClibc by Stefan Soucek and Erik Andersen
(me). Stefan has hacked things up such that linuxthreads runs on MMU-less
systems (tested only on arm-nommu). Erik cleaned things up and made it work
properly as a shared library.
