= POSIX Methods in NewLib RTEMS improvements =


Here is an overview of the issues in areas that we would even
think about addressing. We don't want to get into issues related
to methods we don't really support.=  POSIX issues to be addressed by this project  =


# Missing the ''restrict'' keyword on all methods that should have it per C99 , other issues found were:
# incorrect guards for some methods that are part of the extended C Library or Xopen sets within POSIX
# missing some methods. Some examples:
## inttypes.h defines some methods which are not present.
## no complex.h
## search.h is missng list methods
## we are missing some pthread.h methods
## we are missing some signal.h methods
## some random number calls are missing
## math.h missing some methods
## ftw.h is not present
## fenv.h is not present
## fstatvfs is missing at least a prototype in the right place
## ... other odds and ends

The missing inttypes.h methods and a number of others could be simple cases of getting code from [http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/stdlib/l64a.c?v=FREEBSD-LIBC FreeBSD]. complex.h could come from FreeBSD: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Numerics

Others will be impossible to implement without multiple processes, and so we'll have to determine how we want to handle that...
=  Possibilities to extend the project  =

# some network stack methods can't be invoked with just the .h files listed in the man page
# need to turn on support for getdate()
