Message-ID: <20120713181254.GA31206@brightrain.aerifal.cx> Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:12:54 -0400 From: Rich Felker <dalias@...ifal.cx> To: musl@...ts.openwall.com Subject: Draft: musl promo materials Hi all, Here's a quick draft (and request for input/suggestions) of points/highlights about musl to eventually be incorporated into the website and other opportunities to promote musl. With embedded-relevant ports getting integrated now, I'm thinking this sort of thing will also be useful for sending announcements to relevant mailing lists, etc. Anything big I'm missing? Rich ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Consistent quality and implementation behavior from tiny embedded systems to full servers. Minimal machine-specific code, meaning less chance of breakage on minority architectures and better success with "write once run everywhere" development. Realtime-quality robustness. No unnecessary dynamic allocation. No unrecoverable late failures. No lazy binding or lazy allocation. MIT license. Full math library with a focus on correctness. Exact and correctly-rounded conversion between binary floating point and decimal strings. Reentrancy, thread-safety, and async-signal safety well beyond the requirements of POSIX. Even snprintf and dprintf are fully reentrant and async-signal-safe. Highly resource-efficient POSIX threads implementation, making multi-threaded application design viable even for memory-constrained systems.
