List of known bugs (certainly very incomplete)
----------------------------------------------
Time-stamp: <1999-09-13T02:02:34-0700 drepper>
This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl
I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
reported before by looking through the database. To make the information
in this database as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
`glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc. Before reporting
a bug please check the FAQ since it discusses also a lot of problematic
situations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severity: [ *] to [***]
[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
[ **] The RPC code is not 64 bit clean. This is getting slowly fixed
but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha.
[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
to be the best.
[ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
[PR libc/140]
[ *] The libm-ieee `gamma' function gives wrong results (at least for
-0.5).
[ *] The libm-ieee `scalb' function gives wrong results for
non-integral second parameters.
