Hi Janet and all,
my quick and dirty packet is nothing but a collection of about 250
sources + includes from glibc. Only i586 architecture is covered. The
sources were collected to cover sprintf() + sscanf() needs of my RT
threads. I do lot of floating point operations and it is essential for
my application.
Actually the glibc sources were (almost) not modified and I declare I
don't understand them. I wrote only a simple Makefile to get a lib
that is partially linked (ld -r) with my RT modules.
The lib contains e.g. unmodified malloc and friends that crash a
computer very reliably when called from a RT thread, as
expected. That's why I gave up publishing the lib. In spite of this
sprintf and sscanf work fine. Anyway I should investigate if they call
any dangereous function.
I provided the lib to 2 or 3 people who asked me for a tarball but I
received no feedback from them.
Some time later I realized that the same result could be possibly
reached by linking with standard libc (ld with right options), but I'm
just too lazy to try it.
If you want the tarball in spite of everything mentioned above, drop
me a line, I'll upgrade README and send it to you.
Regards,
pa
