If you really want to use this function, enable CONFIG_FOO and rebuild
uClibc".

Manuel's todo:
1) Little things that need fixing:
----------------------------------
- *) Fix bug in *printf: outdigit precison bug
- a) Use locale decimal point in *printf() and strto*d() -- slightly
- complicated by the fact that at least one locale uses a wchar
- radix that does not map to a single byte in UTF-8.
- b) Use locale digit grouping in *printf() flosting point.
- c) Deal with mb format string issues in scanf and strftime (at least).
- d) Support gnu/bsd extension members tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm.
-
- 2) Implement wide char floating point conversion functions -- wcsto*().
-
- 3) Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
- -------------------------------------------------
- The current char version of scanf() needs some cleanup. Also,
- modifying the char version of scanf() to create the wchar versions
- will require reworking the implementation of matching char sets
- (enclosed in []).
+ a) Fix the ctype support for 8-bit locales.
+ b) Fix bug in *printf: outdigit precison bug
+ c) Check that gnu/bsd extension members tm_gmtoff and tm_zone in struct tm
+ are respected where they should be.
+ d) Implement the obstack printf funcs for glibc compat.
+ e) Implement glibc 'a' flag for scanf string conversions.
+ f) Allow use of the older non-table-based ctype functions when using
+ stub locale support. (smaller)
- 4) Additional str{f|p}time issues.
+ 2) Additional str{f|p}time issues.
----------------------------------
a) Spacing issue wrt strptime.
b) Support locale specific alternate digits. (data is in place)
c) Support locale era in year designations. (data is in place)
+ d) Deal with mb format string issues in strftime.
+ e) Implement wcsftime.
- 5) Other locale issues (my implementation):
+ 3) Other locale issues (my implementation):
-------------------------------------------
- a) Additional clean up of ctype and wctype, primarily to allow for mmap'd
- locales and updateable locale data.
- b) Build a C-only locale object for linking and allow full locale data to
- be mmap'd in later, to allow updating and to make locale support useful
- for staticly linked apps.
- c) Adapt regex lib to use my collation data and add the necessary collating
+ a) Do a little more clean up of ctype and wctype.
+ b) Rework of the locale data organization to make using locales reasonable
+ when staticly linking. (mmap)
+ c) Rewrite the locale data generation tools to process the text specifications
+ rather than relying on glibc.
+ d) Adapt regex lib to use my collation data and add the necessary collating
item tables to support SUSv3 required features.
- d) transliteration of unsupported wchars in 8-bit locales (like glibc).
- e) Support ISO/IEC 14652 draft locale extensions (LC_PAPER, etc).
+ e) transliteration of unsupported wchars in 8-bit locales (like glibc).
+ f) Support ISO/IEC 14652 draft locale extensions (LC_PAPER, etc).
+ g) Implement strfrom.
+ h) Shift-state codeset locale support?
Other stuff:
-Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies (%A support!) and hopefully
- reduce its size.
-
Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
-Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
- document how to turn those off to save space.
