Greetings,
I've been trying to subscribe to the mailing list throughout the past
few hours but whenever I click the "subscribe" button the site returns
me a 500 error code and then it seems the whole site goes down for a
while. In which case, I want to apologize for bringing down the site
multiple times today. I'm writing to the mailing list to get help with
this issue because I needed to join to ask some questions and I can't
find an "administrator" contact anywhere on the site.
Please reply to me at: ignacio.vargas@rapidsilicon.com
In the interest of possibly saving us some time I'm also going to
mention what I needed to ask about. In case the answer is a simple "no"
then I won't have anymore to say anyways, but please don't feel
obligated at all to answer my query:
I was considering writing a stripped-down baremetal version of
argp
(https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Argp.html#index-argp-_0028program-argument-parser_0029)
from glibc. I was wondering if I could write it as a contribution to
newlib and, similarly to glibc's argp, write it using getopt. I
mostly don't know if newlib would accept it because it's a library
specific to GNU-C.
Best regards,
Ignacio Vargas

There's a mailing list <overseers AT sourceware DOT org> for that,
please ask there.

Newlib already has a couple of GNU-specific functions implemented,
so that's no problem.
The only potential problem is the license. If you write your argp
implementation from scratch, you can use any BSD-like license you like.
However, if you take the gloibc code as base, your code would be GPLed,
which is not feasible for almost all targets supported by newlib.
