Re: Newlib and RPC implementation

Linux is its own animal. It is LGPL and the code is not shared with any other newlib platforms. Some code has been simply ported from glibc. Note that Linux has a lot more syscalls to work with than the prescribed newlib set.

Some functions listed in the Linux header files are not supplied as the headers were required by something else and it was far simpler to just bring in the headers as-is than to weed through and modify the code.

In the case of rpc, you'll note that there are some functions under linux/net (e.g. getrpcbyname.c, getrpcbynumber.c, getrpcent.c, etc..) from rpcent.h.

Hi all,

I just ported newlib to a new Os prototype and it works quite well. I
wrote my own crt0 and am pretty much all set now.

My next goal is to port an RPC implementation (i.e. Sun's ONC
implementation). By (more or less) accident, I saw today that newlib
also has a bunch of RPC header located in
newlib/libc/sys/linux/include/rpc.

I don't find any implementation of the functions that are mentioned
there. Is there any? Or in general, does newlib come with an RPC
implementation?

Thanks,
--Martin
