I may have someone who'd be willing to develop and submit at least a portion of ISO C11 annex K. The glibc front page says that glibc "follows all relevant standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008". Should I presume that such a submission would be considered, and accepted if high enough quality? Or would annex K (strcpy_s and friends) be automatically rejected, even though it's in the standard? If implementing the standard would be automatically rejected, then I don't want to waste this person's time.
I think annex K *should* be supported by glibc.
Thank you.
