IRC: #glibc on OFTC.
Review new patches and restart review at the top.
- State NEW delegate NOBODY at 484 patches.
- Carlos's SLI at 242 days average patch age in queue and 118723 accumulated patch days.
- Starting at 83534.
- The release is coming up in February 2024.
- Adhemerval: One patch which should be added to release blockers.
- [v2] linux: Fix fstat64 on alpha and sparc64 (Adhemerval)
- Needs to be included to fix the failures.
- [PATCH] Remove ia64-linux-gnu (Adhemerval)
- Removal was blocked on Linux 6.7 release.
- Once build-many-glibcs gets linux 6.7 support we will need a special case if we don't deprecate it.
- Carlos: To review the ia64 removal.
- Improve rounding to interger function for C23 (Adhemerval)
- [v3] posix: Sync tempname with gnulib (Adhemerval)
- Risk could be tempname breakage?
- Defer to 2.40.
- [v2] stdlib: Reinstate stable mergesort implementation on qsort (Adhemerval)
- Florian to review.
- This is a release blocker for 2.39 since we want to avoid further application issues.
- Already merged the AArch64 SME support, nothing further for aarch64 for 2.39.
- Should glibc update to autoconf 2.72?
- There is a specific clang issue and requires an update to autoconf 2.72.
- Given that clang needs out of tree patches anyway then it makes it less urgent.
- Carlos: I expect that glibc won't update to autoconf 2.72 until August or even later to allow the distributions to include newer autoconf.
- Maxim: Preference for the ia64 port to be removed in glibc to support simpliciation of gcc backends.
- Carlos: I want to make forward progress on pthread condvar missing signal, and pthread cancellation fixes from Adhemerval.
- Szabolcs: The old way that CET worked, that used to be in glibc code, and that code assumed that certain things are done by kernel/userspace and the new kernel ABI assumes userspace has to do things.
- Adhemerval: Please raise this on the CET thread.
- Szabolcs: Will raise the issues on the thread.
- Carlos: If the semantics of the dynamic loader change based on markup and when the callbacks are called is unclear then we can refactor or document.
- Adhemerval: Shadow stack for 32-bit doesn't work, is that an issue?
- Carlos: It is not an issue that it doesn't work with i686.
