- Subject: Legacy _IO_* symbols and Flaot128 transition
libio exports a bunch of symbols for historic reasons:
_IO_fprintf
_IO_printf
_IO_sprintf
_IO_sscanf
_IO_vfprintf
_IO_vfscanf
_IO_vsprintf
These aren't compat symbols yet, but will not be in installed headers
for glibc 2.28. Zack's cleanup patches only turns _IO_vfscanf into a
compat symbol (in “Add __vfscanf_internal and __vfwscanf_internal with
flags arguments.”).
I think we should turn all of them into compat symbols and drop their
compatibility wrappers from nldbl_nonshared.a, and avoid adding
binary128 compatibility wrappers for them.
I can work on a patch if that would help.
Comments?
Thanks,
Florian
