Conformance of the GNU libc with various standards
==================================================
The GNU libc is designed to be conformant with existing standard as
far as possible. TO ensure this I've run various tests. The results
are presented here.
Open Group's hdrchk
-------------------
The hdrchk test suite is available from the Open Group at
ftp://ftp.rdg.opengroup.org/pub/unsupported/stdtools/hdrchk/
I've last run the suite on 1998-07-08 on a Linux/ix86 system with the
following results [*]:
FIPS No reported problems
POSIX90 No reported problems
XPG3 No reported problems
XPG4 The wide character I/O stuff is missing in glibc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*** Starting wchar.h
Missing: extern wint_t fgetwc();
Missing: extern wchar_t *fgetws();
Missing: extern wint_t fputwc();
Missing: extern int fputws();
Missing: extern wint_t getwc();
Missing: extern wint_t getwchar();
Missing: extern wint_t putwc();
Missing: extern wchar_t putwchar();
Missing: extern wint_t ungetwc();
Missing: extern size_t wcsftime();
*** Completed wchar.h
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beside this a problem in stdio.h is reported but
this is only because the scripts don't understand
the sometimes complex constructs in the header.
POSIX96 Same as UNIX98 [see below].
UNIX98 Quite a lot of problems, almost all due to limitations
of the Linux kernel (2.1.108):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only the `wchar.h' problems result from glibc
defficiencies since we still don't support wide
character I/O.
[*] Since the scripts are not clever enough for the way gcc handles
include files (namely, putting some of them in gcc-local directory) I
copied over the iso646.h, float.h, and stddef.h headers and ignored the
problems resulting from the splitted limits.h file).
