+This is a collection of some of the frequently asked question
+about uClibc. Some of the questions even have answers. If you
+have additions to this FAQ document, I'd love to add them,
+
+ -Erik
+
+
+Q: What platforms does uClibc run on?
+
+ Currently uClibc runs on arm, i386, m68k, mipsel, powerpc, sh,
+ sparc, and v850.
+
+
+
+Q: Does uClibc support shared libraries?
+
+ Yes. uClibc has shared library support on x86, arm, and powerpc.
+ Shared Libraries are _not_ currently supported on MMU-less systems.
+
+
+
+Q: Why is it called uClibc?
+
+ The letter 'u' is short for the greek letter "mu". "Mu" stands for
+ "micro", and the "C" is for "controller". uClibc was originaly created to
+ support uClinux, a port of Linux for MMU-less microcontrollers such as the
+ Dragonball, Coldfire, and ARM7TDMI.
+
+
+
+Q: Can I use it on my desktop x86 system?
+
+ Sure! In fact, this can be very nice during development. By using it on
+ your development system, you can be sure that the code you are working on
+ will actually run on your target system.
+
+
+
+Q: Why are you doing this? Whats wrong with glibc?
+
+ The inital reason, is that glibc does not support MMU-les systems. But
+ additionaly, the GNU C library has a different set of goals then uClibc.
+ The GNU C library is a great piece of software. It complies with just
+ about every standard ever created, and runs on just about every operating
+ system as well -- no small task! But there is a price to be paid for that.
+ It is quite a large library, and keeps getting larger with each release.
+ It does not even pretend to target embedded systems. To quote from Ulrich
+ Drepper, the maintainer of GNU libc: "...glibc is not the right thing for
+ [an embedded OS]. It is designed as a native library (as opposed to
+ embedded). Many functions (e.g., printf) contain functionality which is
+ not wanted in embedded systems." 24 May 1999
+
+
+
+Q: So uClibc is smaller then glibc? Doesn't that mean it completely sucks?
+ How could it be smaller and not suck?
+
+ uClibc has been designed from the ground up to be a C library for embedded
+ Linux. We don't need to worry about whether we support MS-DOS, or Cygwin,
+ or any other system. This lets us cut out lots of complexity, and very
+ carefully optimize for Linux. By very careful design, we can also make a
+ few shotcuts. For example, glibc contains an implementation of the
+ wordexp() function, in compliance with the Single Unix Specificaion,
+ version 2. Well, standards are important. But so is pragmatism. The
+ wordexp function adds almost 100k to glibc, and yet I am not aware of even
+ one Linux application that uses wordexp. So uClibc doesn't have wordexp().
+
+ Glibc is a general purpose C library, and so as policy things are optimized
+ for speed. uClibc has a large number of routines that have been very
+ carefuly written to optimize for size instead of speed.
+
+ The end result is a C library that will compile just about everything you
+ throw at it, thet looks like glibc to application programs when you
+ compile, and is many times smaller.
+
+
+
+Q: Why should I use uClibc?
+
+ I don't know if you should use uClibc or not. It depends on your goals.
+ If you are building an embedded system, and you are tight on space, then
+ using uClibc instead if glibc should allow you to use your storage for
+ other things.
+
+ If you are trying to build a ultra fast fileserver for your company that
+ has 12 Terabytes of storage, then you probably want to use glibc...
+
+
+
+Q: I want to create a closed source commercial application and I want to
+ protect my intellectual property. If I use uClibc, don't I have to
+ release my source code?
+
+ No, you do not need to give away your source code just because you use
+ uClibc and/or run on Linux.
+
+
+
+Q: I want to create a closed source commercial application using uClibc.
+ Is that legal?
+
+ Yes. uClibc is licensed under the LGPL, just like GNU libc. If you are
+ using uClibc as a shared library, then your closed source application is
+ 100% legal. Please consider sharing some of the money you make. :-)
+
+ If you are staticly linking your closed source commercial application with
+ uClibc, then you must take additional steps to comply with the uClibc
+ license. You can sell your application as usual, but you must also make
+ your closed source application available to your customers as an object
+ file which can then be linked with updated versions of uClibc. This will
+ (in theory) allow your customers to later link with updated versions of
+ uClibc. You do not need to make the application object file available to
+ everyone, just to those you gave the fully linked application.
+
+
+
+Q: How do I compile stuff?
+
+ The easiest way is to use the compiler wrapper built by uClibc. Instead of
+ using your usual compiler or cross compiler, you can use i386-uclibc-gcc,
+ (or whatever is appropriate for your architecture) and it will automagically
+ make your program link against uClibc.
+
+
+
+Q: How do I make autoconf and automake behave?
+
+ First run
+ export PATH=/usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin:$PATH
+ (or similar adjusted for your target architecture) then run you can simply
+ run autoconf/automake and it should _just work_.
+
+
+
+Q: When I run 'ldd' to get a list of the library dependancies for a uClibc
+ binary, ldd segfault! Or it runs my application? Anyways, it doesn't
+ work! What should I do?
+
+ Use the ldd that is built by uClibc, not your system's one. When your
+ system's ldd looks for the library dependancies, it actually tries to
+ _execute_ that program. This works fine -- usually. I doesn't work at all
+ when you are cross compiling (thats why ldd segfaults). The ldd program
+ created by uClibc is cross platform and doesn't actually try to run the
+ target program like your system one does, so it should do the right thing,
+ and won't segfault, even when you are cross compiling.
+
+
+
+Q: I need you to add <favorite feature> now! How come you don't answer all my
+ questions on the mailing list withing 5 minutes? I demand that you help me
+ Right Now!
+
+ You have not paid me a single cent and yet you still have the product of
+ over year and a half of my work, and lots of work from other people. How
+ dare you treat me that way! I work on uClibc because I find it
+ interesting. If you go off flaming me, I will ignore you.
+
+
+
+Q: I need you to add <favorite feature>! Are the uClibc developers willing to
+ be paid in order to add in <favorite feature>? Are you willing to provide
+ support contracts?
+
+ Sure! Now you have our attention! What you should do is contact
+ Erik Andersen of CodePoet Consulting to bid on your project. If Erik
+ is too busy to personally add your feature, there are several other
+ active contributors who may be able to help you out.
+
+
+Q: I think you guys are great and I want to help support your work!
+
+ Wow, that would be great! You can visit

+uClibc thread-safety analysis
+By Steve Thayer <sthayer@coactive.com>
+with updates by Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>
+
+Introduction:
+
+The purpose of this document is to identify the things that need to be done
+to the uClibc C library in order to make it thread-safe. The goal is to be
+able to use a pthreads thread implementation under uClinux, using the uClibc
+C library. To help identify the things that require changing, I used David R.
+Butenhof's book Programming With POSIX Threads, the source code for the
+glibc 2.1.3 C library, and the source code for the C library included in the
+Proventhreads distribution.
+
+References:
+
+Butenhof, David R., Programming With POSIX Threads, Addison Wesley Longman, Inc., Reading, MA, ISBN 0-201-63392-2, 1997.
+
+
+The GNU C library is available from the Free Software Foundation
+http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html
+
+Proventhreads is part of the Inferno Operating system.
+http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/index.html
+
+
+1. Stdio:
+
+1.1 Buffer access mutexes
+
+ The following functions are required in order to protect shared
+ I/O buffers from being accessed by more than one thread at a time.
+ None of these functions are currently implemented in the uClibc
+ library, so they must be added.
+
+ flockfile <required> <---
+ ftrylockfile <required> <---
+ funlockfile <required> <---
+
+1.2 Functions that must use buffer access mutexes, according to Butenhof
+
+ The following functions are identified by Butenhof as needing to use
+ buffer access mutexes. This does not represent all functions that
+ need to use the mutexes.
+
+ getc <mutex required> <---
+ getchar <mutex required> <---
+ putc <mutex required> <---
+ putchar <mutex required> <---
+
+1.3 Functions from glibc (libio) that use buffer access mutexes
+
+ The following functions are functions found in glibc that currently
+ use the buffer access mutexes. Comments in brackets represent
+ status of uClibc with regard to these functions. Most of these
+ functions aren't even supported under uClibc, so no work is required.
+ The rest may require the access mutex. (These must be analyzed on a
+ case-by-case basis.)
+
+ clearerr <mutex required> <---
+ feof <mutex required> <---
+ ferror <mutex required> <---
+ fputc <mutex required> <---
+ fputwc <not supported>
+ freopen <mutex required> <---
+ freopen64 <not supported>
+ fseek <mutex required> <---
+ fseeko <not supported>
+ fseeko64 <not supported>
+ ftello <not supported>
+ ftello64 <not supported>
+ fwide <not supported>
+ getc <macro for fgetc>
+ getchar <macro for fgetc>
+ getwc <not supported>
+ getwchar <not supported>
+ iofclose <not supported>
+ iofflush <not supported>
+ iofgetpos <not supported>
+ iofgetpos64 <not supported>
+ iofgets <not supported>
+ iofgetws <not supported>

+ iofwrite <not supported>
+ iogetdelim <not supported>
+ iogets <not supported>
+ ioputs <not supported>

+ peekc <not supported>
+ putc <macro for fputc>
+ putchar <macro for fputc>
+ putwc <not supported>
+ putwchar <not supported>
+ rewind <mutex required> <---
+
+1.4 Functions from Proventhreads that use buffer access mutexes
+
+ See description above. This applies only to the C library included
+ in the proventhreads distribution.
+
+ clearerr <mutex required> <---
+ fclose <mutex required> <---
+ fflush <mutex required> <---
+ fgetc <mutex required> <---
+ __getc <not supported>
+ fgetline <not supported>
+ fgetpos <mutex required> <---
+ fgets <mutex required> <---
+ fpurge <not supported>
+ fputc <mutex required> <---
+ __putc <not supported>
+ fputs <mutex required> <---
+ fread <mutex required> <---
+ freopen <mutex required> <---
+ fscanf <mutex required> <---
+ fseek <mutex required> <---
+ ftell <mutex required> <---
+ fwalk <not supported>
+ fwrite <mutex required> <---
+ getc <macro for fgetc>
+ getchar <mutex required> <---
+ putc <macro for fputc>
+ putchar <mutex required> <---
+ puts <mutex required> <---
+ putw <not supported>
+ refill <not supported>
+ rewind <mutex required> <---
+ scanf <mutex required> <---
+ setvbuf <mutex required> <---
+ ungetc <mutex required> <---
+ vfprintf <mutex required> <---
+ vscanf <mutex required> <---
+
+1.5 Unlocked buffer access
+
+ These functions get used in situations where speed is important,
+ and locking isn't necessary, or for use in a section of code that
+ is already locked. For example, a for-loop that makes multiple calls
+ to getc could make an exlicit call to flockfile outside the loop, and
+ then use getc_unlocked within the loop for speed. That way, the lock
+ only needs to be grabbed and released once, rather than for each call.
+
+ getc_unlocked <required> <---
+ getchar_unlocked <required> <---
+ putc_unlocked <required> <---
+ putchar_unlocked <required> <---
+
+1.6 Additional unlocked calls made in glibc
+
+ These are additional functions (not mentioned by Butenhof) that the
+ glibc library uses for unlocked buffer access. Though not strictly
+ necessary, these may be nice to have in uClibc.
+
+ fileno_unlocked <desired> <---
+ clearerr_unlocked <desired> <---
+ feof_unlocked <desired> <---
+ ferror_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fputc_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fgetc_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fflush_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fread_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fwrite_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fgets_unlocked <desired> <---
+ fputs_unlocked <desired> <---
+
+1.7 Additional unlocked calls made in Proventhreads
+
+ Proventhreads only provides the four unlocked function calls above.
+
+ <none>
+
+
+2. Thread-safe functions:
+
+ There are some functions in the C library standard that are
+ simply not thread-safe and cannot be thread-safe using their
+ current interface. For example, any function that returns a
+ pointer to static data, or requires static context between
+ calls. To resolve this problem, new functions were added to
+ the standard that perform the same basic task, but use a new
+ interface that does not require static data. These functions
+ share their name with the old unsafe functions, but have an
+ "_r" appended to the name. By definition, these functions are
+ reentrant and thread-safe. It is important to note that these
+ functions to do not depend on <pthread.h> and can be used even
+ if threading is not supported.
+
+2.1 User and terminal identification:
+
+ getlogin_r <implemented>
+ ctermid <implemented> (1)
+ ttyname_r <required> <---
+
+ 1. ctermid is a special case. The signature has not changed, but a
+ requirement has been added that its parameter point to a structure
+ of exactly L_ctermid bytes.
+
+2.2 Directory searching
+
+ readdir_r <required> <---
+
+2.3 String token
+
+ strtok_r <implemented>
+
+2.4 Time representation
+
+ asctime_r <implemented>
+ ctime_r <implemented>
+ gmtime_r <implemented>
+ localtime_r <implemented>
+
+2.5 Random number generation
+
+ rand_r <required> <---
+
+2.6 Group and user database
+
+ getgrgid_r <required> <---
+ getgrnam_r <required> <---
+ getpwuid_r <implemented>
+ getpwnam_r <implemented>
+
+2.7 Additional thread-safe functions implemented by glibc
+
+ The following is a list of additional functions implemented by glibc
+ that also provide thread-safe functionality. Most of these functions
+ are not supported by uClibc, so there is no need to implement the
+ thread-safe version. Those that do apply, but have not been
+ implemented yet are highlighted.

+3. List of functions in uClibc that use static data structures
+
+ The following is a list of static data structures found in uClibc,
+ and the functions that use them. In most cases, static data is not
+ thread-safe, since multiple threads can access the same data at the
+ same time. This is an attempt to identify all of the static data that
+ is not considered thread-safe. Some of these problems will get
+ resolved by the changes outlines above.

+
+ inet/rpc/clnt_perror.c:
+
+ static char *buf;
+ static struct rpc_errtab rpc_errlist[]
+ static struct auth_errtab auth_errlist[]
+
+ NOTE: These static structures all have #if 0 around them, so they
+ do not get compiled in. Hopefully, we don't have to worry about
+ them right now, but prehaps a comment should be added to the code
+ indicating that it is not thread-safe.

+ This causes problems both when Linux code which reads
+ timeout is ported to other operating systems, and when
+ code is ported to Linux that reuses a struct timeval for
+ multiple selects in a loop without reinitializing it.
+ Consider timeout to be undefined after select returns."

+ Unless the implementation of select is different than that of Linux,

+4. List of functions that use global variables
+
+ The following is a list of functions that make use of global
+ variables. Since multiple threads can access the same global
+ variable at the same time, access should be considered unsafe.
+ This is an attempt to identify all the areas where global
+ variables are used. This does not necessarily mean that each
+ of these is unsafe. It just means that there is a potential
+ for them to be unsafe. If this code never runs in more than
+ one thread, then there's no problem. More ivestigation will be
+ required to determine if changes are really required.
+
+ Global variable:
+
+ __environ (misc/internals/__uClibc_main.c)
+
+ __uClibc_main.c:
+
+ __uClibc_main <fix required?> (1)
+
+ 1: This should only get executed once, so it is probably fine.
