Libraries
At time of writing you may select one of 3 libraries to create your programs:
| Library | newlib | libnix | clib2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| switch | -noixemul or -mcrt=nix20 | -mcrt=clib2 | |
| supports Kickstart 1.3 | no | yes -mcrt=nix13 | no |
| code size | larger | smaller | dunno |
| status | fair | stable | stable |
| -lsocket | no | yes | yes |
There is a project with tests for libc: git://git.musl-libc.org/libc-testsuite Here are some results of its tests.
A number is the count of errors, - is not built, -1 test does not run properly
