New Features in Glibc 2.10
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 18th Apr 2009 15:08 UTC, submitted by diegocg
General Development Ulrich Dreeper, the glibc maintainer, details on his blog the main features of version 2.10 of the library: POSIX 2008, C++ compliance, C++ 201x support, DNS NSS improvement, use NSS in libcrypt, printf hooks and, perhaps more interesting, better malloc scalability.

What I found even more interesting is an automatic use of optimized function that the new glibc features.

I thought it was 200x.

It seems to still not implemented and we will see them speaking about 203x

the malloc_info function returns an xml string? mixing up xml with the libc library seems to me a bad idea.

Fully agree.
Using normal flat structures would have been far more useful.

Or providing versioned reader functions that can query the otherwise opaque structure returned from mallinfo(). It's not a hard problem to solve. Looks like Ulrich just wanted to throw up his hands and let someone else deal with it. Fortunately, it's not something I really care about, so it's no big deal either way for me.

No kidding. XML as an integral part of Glibc? Please save us from this lunacy.
