This file describes the implementation status and some notes; information is
taken from the C99 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999), section 7 ("Library").
# Notes for implementers
7.1.2§6:
Use (extern) in all function prototypes
7.1.3§1:
Only expose standard identifiers; anything else might be defined as a macro.
Make sure every argument name, internal function name, etc. starts with
either "__" or "_X" (where X is any uppercase letter)
7.1.4§1:
Always give a function even if there is a macro definition, so that the
address of the function can be taken; don't rely on the macro being defined,
as the user can remove it except in some special cases
String functions (mainly in <string.h>) can use 4-byte accesses, and in doing
so read up to 3 bytes after the end of the string if it is not padded (which
malloc'd strings and literal strings both are, leaving only stack-allocated and
statically-allocated ones). This allows important speed optimizations. The
extra access cannot trigger memory protection because there is no valid memory
less than 4 bytes before the end of any protection region. The extra access
might trigger the UBC in very specific scenarios, but we don't really care.
# Status
In this file, every definition is classified in one of several implementation
statuses. There are 5 stages that every definition should go through.

# Supporting locales
What if we wanted to support more locales?
-> Need to a mechanism to supply the raw information, similar to the text files
in /usr/share/i18n/locales
-> Implement setlocale() and localeconv() properly (not hard)
-> Probably support nl_langinfo(), which is much better than localeconv()
-> Fix the "TODO: locale: ..." messages wherever assumptions on the locale are
made in the code
-> Properly implement strcoll() and strxfrm()
# Supporting text and binary files (newline translation)
Because of 7.19.2%1,223 we don't need to support newline translation.
# Support wide-oriented streams
This requires all the wide-char functions but also updating fpos_t to be a
structure with at least some mbstate_t member (7.19.2§6).
I really don't want to do that. Use multi-byte functions with UTF-8.
