_GNU_SOURCE
- Ben
- Does _GNU_SOURCE exclude _BSD_SOURCE?
(It seems that _GNU_SOURCE implies _BSD_SOURCE but prefers SysV/POSIX where there are behavior conflicts with BSD.)
- Greg
- Would like updated statement re default GNU libc namespaces from the maintainers
Some discussion about the __xpg4 symbol causing link-time/runtime variation of Solaris libc behavior, e.g., sprintf(). It could have some security consequences in somewhat rare and unusual situations. A library can't easily select a specific behavior at compile time.
- Will
- Had to change compiler level (compiler standards conformance selection) for rlogin -- changed behaviors for open() on STREAMS devices (module autopush).
IETF
CAMMAC in WGLC.
AES-SHA-2 seems ok. Ben wants test vectors; there are now some available.
