Changes to upstream code are wrapped +in preprocessor directives controlled by the macro `__wasilibc_unmodified_upstream`. + +Some major known missing areas include: + - threads + - aio + - setjmp + - signals + - ipc + - termios + - nss + - timezones + - non-builtin locales + - TIOCGWINSZ (because cloudabi lacks it; affects isatty, line buffering for stdout) + - O\_CLOEXEC, O\_NOCTTY (because cloudabi lacks them) |
