List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
----------------------------------------------
Time-stamp: <1997-03-22T04:17:31+0100 drepper>
This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
Severity: [ *] to [***]
[ **] For GNU libc on Linux, there is still no solution for the UTMP
problem.
[Among others: PR libc/39]
[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
[ **] The `cbrtl' function is inaccurate. The algorithm used for `double'
and `float' is not usable for `long double'.
[ **] Not really a bug, but it could lead to such:
The RPC code is ugly ugly ugly. It's more or less verbatim taken
from Sun's code and therefore mostly lacks complete prototypes and
(more important) the use of `const'. It *definitely* needs to be
cleaned.
[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
to be the best.
[ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
flag was given.
[PR libc/72]
[ *] On Linux, the <linux/posix_types.h> is not clean enough to satisfy
the C++ namespace rules. Declaring `struct fd_set' also makes
`fd_set' available in the global namespace which conflicts with
the definition of `fd_set' in glibc.
[PR libc/79]
[ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
[PR libc/140]
