RTEMS Release Notes
The GNU C Library is a robust and well-documented C Library which is distributed under the terms of the Library GNU Public License (LGPL). This library was not designed for use in real-time, embedded systems and the resource requirements of some of the routines in this library are an obvious indication of this. Additionally, this library does not have support for reentrancy in the sense that each task in a multitasking system could safely invoke every routine in the library. Finally, the distribution terms of the LGPL are considered undesirable by many embedded systems developers. However, the GNU C Library is very complete and is compliant with as many standards as possible. Because of this, it may be the only choice for many developers.
There is currently no RTEMS support for the GNU C Library.
The primary ftp site for this library is prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38).
