- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
ISO C TR 24731-2 (Dynamic Allocation Functions) defines various
interfaces, some of them already in glibc (which may have been the origin
for some of them). I think
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1388.pdf> is the last
public draft.
Continuing my proposals regarding APIs from external sources, I'd like to
propose that we consider the remaining interfaces in this TR as
appropriate for glibc as well. That is the four functions aswprintf,
vaswprintf, getwdelim, getwline, wide-character versions of functions for
which the non-wide versions are already in glibc.
As with other proposals, I have no current plans to work on implementing
these functions; this is simply trying to establish consensus on their
acceptability in principle, should someone wish to implement them.
I don't think these functions would be hard to implement.
