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
[ *] The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
non-integral second parameters.
-[ *] Collation symbol and equivalence class handling in regex are not
- yet 100% correct.
- - [. .] at end of a range does not work
- - [. .] and [= =] do not handle collating symbols (where a symbol
- stands for multiple character) and multibyte character in
- general not correctly.
-
- This is *extremely* hard to fix since regex has to be rewritten
- completely.
-
-[ *] The regex implementation has various other problems, like limitations
- of the expression size etc. [PR libc/1570, PR libc/1777]
-
- None of these can be fixed without a rewrite.
-
[ *] 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
of the whole LC_COLLATE description.
[ *] Some of the functions which also handled IPv6 are currently broken.
- This includes getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(). IPv4 handling of
+ 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.
