This folder contains the musl version of libc at /musl. The upstream version
can be found at http://www.musl-libc.org/.
Most of the source comes from musl v1.2.2, with some exceptions listed below.
We track these changes from upstream in https://github.com/emscripten-core/musl
and use a script (system/lib/update_musl.py) to pull in updates.
Some changes have been made to the version that was taken from upstream, including:
- Emscripten-specific changes (from before this readme existed). These should be marked with
XXX EMSCRIPTENin the source, or ifdefed with#if __EMSCRIPTEN__. They are mostly in pthreads code and hopefully temporary. - Backporting an operator-precedence warning fix from 6e76e1540fc58a418494bf5eb832b556f9c5763e in the upstream version.
- Switch to using the wasi
fd_writesyscall instead ofwritev. - Simplify stdout stream handling: do not support seeking, terminal handling, etc., as it just increases code size and Emscripten doesn't have those features anyhow.
- Setting
_POSIX_REALTIME_SIGNALSand_POSIX_SPAWNmacros to -1, to exclude unsupported functions.
Copy log.c and log2.c from ealier version of musl which result in smaller binary size since they do not rely data tables in log_data.c and log2_data.c. See emscripten-core#15483.
