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. -[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads. - -[ **] The libm-ieee `log2' function seems to be very inaccurate. - -[ *] The libm-ieee `remquo' function rounds 3.0/2.0 incorrectly. +[ **] 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. -[ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS - flag was given. - [PR libc/72] - -[ *] On Linux, the 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 header file. In glibc it is defined in which must not make the other symbols in available. [PR libc/140] -[ *] The localedef program should not generate errors if for categories - which are not used for the output there are characters referenced - which are not defined in the charmap. - [PR libc/229] - -[ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does - not support netgroups and wildcards (+). - -[ *] The first alias definition in locale.alias is ignored. - [PR libc/205] - -[ *] When assembling a locale definition, that uses the "copy" - directive, with localedef, not only the copied category is - checked for errors, but the whole file containing the same - category. - [PR libc/207] - -[ *] configuring with CFLAGS="-pipe" configure doesn't work - with gcc. This seems to be a bug in gcc 2.7.2.x (egcs doesn't - have this bug). - [PR libc/245] - -[ *] gethostbyname returns HOST_NOT_FOUND if the nameserver is - unreachable and nsswitch.conf contains a line with: - hosts: files dns - If the only method is dns gethostbyname return - TRY_AGAIN. gethostbyname should return in both cases TRY_AGAIN. - [PR libc/244] +[ *] 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@cygnus.com +drepper@redhat.com
