If you have time and talent to take over any of the jobs below please
contact <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ 1] Port to new platforms or test current version on formerly supported
platforms.
[ 2] Test compliance with standards. If you have access to recent
standards (IEEE, ISO, ANSI, X/Open, ...) and/or test suites you
could do some checks as the goal is to be compliant with all
standards if they do not contradict each other.
[ 3] Write translations for the GNU libc message for the so far
unsupported languages. GNU libc is fully internationalized and
users can immediately benefit from this.
Take a look at the matrix in
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS
for the current status (of course better use a mirror of prep).
[ 4] Write wordexp() function; this is described in POSIX.2, The
header <wordexp.h> already exists.
Implementation idea: use some functions from bash.
[ 5] Write reentrant versions of crypt() et.al.

struct crypt_data
{
<... all the needed data ...>
};
and define additional functions
char *crypt_r (__const char *__key, __const char *__salt,
struct crypt_data *__data);
void setkey_r (__const char *__key, struct crypt_data *__data);
void encrypt_r (char *__block, int __edflag,

Because of the US export restrictions it might be a good idea if
some non-american person does this job.
[ 6] Write `long double' versions of the math functions. This should be
done in collaboration with the NetBSD and FreeBSD people.
The libm is in fact fdlibm (not the same as in Linux libc).

[ 7] If you enjoy assembler programming (as I do --drepper :-) you might
be interested in writing optimized versions for some functions.
Especially the string handling functions can be optimized a lot.
Take a look at

Make really compliant with specification. * login/setutent_r.c: Don't depend on ut_type and ut_id unless _HAVE_UT_TYPE and _HAVE_UT_ID resp. are defined. * login/login.c, login/logout.c, login/logwtmp.c: Complete rewrite. Now based on getut*/setut* functions. * stdlib/strtol.c: Undo changes of Wed May 22 01:48:54 1996. This prevented using this file in other GNU packages. * sysdeps/gnu/utmpbits.h: Define _HAVE_UT_TYPE, _HAVE_UT_ID, and _HAVE_UT_TV because struct utmp has these members. * sysdeps/libm-i387/e_exp.S: Correct exp(+-Inf) case. * utmp.h: New file. Wrapper around login/utmp.h. * elf/dl-error.c (struct catch): New type. (catch): New static variable, struct catch *. (catch_env, signalled_errstring, signalled_objname): Variables removed. (_dl_signal_error): If CATCH is non-null, set its errstring and objname members and jump to CATCH->env. If it is null, call _dl_sysdep_fatal with a standard message. * elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Explode `doit' function into dl_main's body. No longer use _dl_catch_error.

[10] Extend regex and/or rx to work with wide characters.
[11] Add mmap() support to malloc().
Doug Lea's malloc implementation might give some ideas. Perhaps
switching completly to his implementation is an option if it
a) can work without mmap() support (not all system GNU libc
is running on have mmap)
b) is without mmap support at least as fast as the current
implementation
c) will be extended with the current hooks and additional functions
Update. Mon Aug 12 03:31:58 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * nss/nsswitch.c (__nss_configure_lookup): New function. Allows to specify services. * nss/XXX-lookup.h: Rename database variable and make global. * nss/databases.def: New file. Real names of all databases. * nss/nss.h: New file. Contains declaration useful for users and service developers. * nss/nsswitch.h: Move some declarations to nss/nss.h. * nss.h: New file. Wrapper around nss/nss.h. * nss/Makefile (headers): Add nss.h. (distributes): Add databases.h. Sun Aug 11 16:19:42 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> Help the poor people with fast machines by making sure only one `ar' commands works on the library. * autolock.sh: New file. Written by Tom Tromey. * Makerules (do-ar): Call autolock.sh shell script instead of directly using `ar'. * config.make.in: Make configuration variable AUTOLOCK which gets initialized by configure. * configure.in: Define variable AUTOLOCK to point to autolock.sh script and mark it to substitute. * string/Makefile: Add -fno-builtin for tst-strlen.c, too. * elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_symbol): Allow self-referencing. Patch by David Mosberger-Tang. Sun Aug 11 01:12:38 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h (elf_alpha_fix_plt): Optimize LD_BIND_NOW startup by moving Icache flush from here ... (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): ... to here. (ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK): Delete; it is unused. * sysdeps/alpha/divrem.h: Update comment to reflect the actual calling conventions. The code is already correct. Sun Aug 11 01:06:42 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * string/Makefile: Compile tester with -fno-builtin as we want to test our implementations, not gcc's.

[12] Write access function for netmasks, bootparams, netgroup, publickey,
automount, aliases databases for nss_files and nss_db module.
The functions should be embedded in the nss scheme. This is not
hard and not all services must be supported at once.
