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. - -Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the -GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at - - http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ - -I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was -not reported before by looking through the database. Before reporting -a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of -problematic situations. - - -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Severity: [ *] to [***] - -[ **] Closing shared objects in statically linked binaries most of the - times leads to crashes during the dlopen(). Hard to fix. - -[ **] The RPC code is not 64 bit clean. This is getting slowly fixed - but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha. - -[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem - to be the best. - -[ *] 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] - -[ *] The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for - -0.5). - -[ *] The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for - non-integral second parameters. - -[ *] Several (most?) collation specifications are broken. The code which - is currently there is in most cases inherited from the originial - author (in case there is a LC_COLLATE specification in the locale - file) or is defined using the default (if iso14651_t1 is included). - - In any case we are missing information to correct the specification. - If you find the specification for your language be faulty please - send a report with instruction on what to fix. You don't have to - fix the specification yourself. - - The way it finally should look like (if the generic specification - is not correct) can be seen in the sv_SE file. Quite a few changes - on top of the generic specification can be made without duplication - of the whole LC_COLLATE description. - -[ *] Some of the functions which also handled IPv6 are currently broken. - IPv6 and IPv4 lookups occasionally happen when not needed. This - happens in getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(). IPv4 handling of - these functions is OK though and there are patches available to fix - the IPv6 code as well. - -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Ulrich Drepper -drepper@redhat.com |
