Message-ID: <20130729063456.GA31564@brightrain.aerifal.cx> Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 02:34:56 -0400 From: Rich Felker <dalias@...ifal.cx> To: musl@...ts.openwall.com Subject: Conformance issues to address after 0.9.12 release Here are a few issues I'd like to move to the agenda for after release: - strftime (and wcsftime) does not support the POSIX-2008 field width specifiers and 0/+ flags. This is fairly invasive in strftime, which was originally written to ISO C and the previous issue of POSIX, both of which have fixed field widths. It also requires a partial redesign of wcsftime. - i387 math asm does not truncate excess precision. Whether or not this omission is conforming in terms of the return value, it results in lost underflow exceptions, as demonstrated by nsz's math tests. As far as I know, these are the only open conformance issues except for the C locale issues, which will probably be resolved post-1.0, and documentation. The rest of the remaining roadmap items are nonstandard features and quality-of-implementation issues. Rich
