The GNU C Library BoF - GNU Tools Cauldron 2018
Presented by Carlos O'Donell and Florian Weimer at GNU Tools Cauldron 2018
The GNU C Library is used as the C library in the GNU systems and most systems with the Linux kernel. The library is primarily designed to be a portable and high performance C library.It follows all relevant standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008. It is also internationalized and has one of the most complete internationalization interfaces known.
This BOF aims to bring together developers of other components that have dependencies on glibc and glibc developers to talk about the following topics:
Planning for glibc 2.29 and what work needs to be done between August 2018 and January 2018.
Planning for glibc 2.30 and what work needs to be done between January 2019 and July 2019.
Interfaces for stack and TLS boundaries for use by language runtimes (Rust) and developer tooling (ASAN)?
Finally fixing TLS in signal handlers? A re-review of the two options (or others if you want to present them).
… and more.
