Appreciate the feedback. Agree that any libc API that is implemented in a wrapper should conform to the standard. > We also have a whole libc implementation in edk2-libc that seems to be > permanently gathering dust until Intel touches it for Python purposes > from time to time.

Would you like to volunteer to lead a design and implementation that is right-sized for FW modules and could be the one wrapper that works for all current use cases and could be extended in the future as needed to support additional use cases? Don’t need all of libc. Just enough to support the APIs used by the submodules used so far. > > Thanks, > Pedro -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
