Hi Vaibhav, I saw your doubts on devel mailing list regarding the newlib-c. These are the points, you should know about newlib c and why does most embedded system use newlib c as runtime library.
newlib c is used to provide supports to the different platforms and architecute specific compilers. For example: if you have a compiled binary and that you want to run it on a particular platform then this newlib c is used by compiler to invoke some of the built-in functions in that runtime environment. Some low level routines are defined inside the newlib-cygwin that provides architecture support. For example: Stack, Heap, memory management, interrupt facilities is defined in the newlib c and these implementation is architecture dependent.

For more, You can look into this: https://www.embedded.com/design/prototyping-and-development/4024867/Embedding-with-GNU-Newlib Above link will help you to understand other term like reentrancy concept when you will be going to provide supports in the multi-threaded environment. To understand licensing terms, You can refer here. It will help to figure out the difference between the glibc, newlibc, klibc etc.. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/native-client-discuss/_OAQsL77kPQ > It would be great if you can help me out. > I would encourage you to test this inttypes test suite code, What I have not yet committed. You just need to change some copyrights things. It would be appreciated if you send a patch on devel. It will help you to understand the code flow and relation between the newlib c and rtems. inttypes methods test suite location: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vnb0KBhkYLTPzbRJPMuwsnyWLP694VAa > Thanks > Vaibhav Gupta Thanks, Aditya Upadhyay _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
