musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
these badly pollute the namespace with macros whenever _GNU_SOURCE is defined, which is always the case with g++, and especially tends to interfere with C++ constructs. as our implementation of these was macro-only, their removal cannot affect any existing binaries. at the source level, portable software should be prepared for them not to exist. for now, they are left in place with explicit _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE. this provides an easy temporary path for integrators/distributions to get packages building again right away if they break while working on a proper, upstreamable fix. the intent is that this be a very short-term measure and that the macros be removed entirely in the next release cycle. |

musl libc musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and glibc functionality. For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
