Special Features

Not everything defined in the ANSI standard library relates to embedded systems programming. Therefore, some functions remain unimplemented, and some have been left open for implementation because they strongly depend on the actual setup of the target system.

This chapter describes and explains these functions:

• Memory Management - malloc(), free(), calloc(), realloc(); alloc.c, and heap.c
  
  
• Signals - signal.c
  
  
• Multiple-Byte Characters - mblen(), mbtowc(), wctomb(), mbstowcs(), wcstombs(); stdlib.c
  
  
• Program Termination - abort(), exit(), atexit(); stdlib.c
  
  
• I/O - printf.c
  
  
• Locales - locale.*
  
  
• ctype
  
  
• String Conversions - strtol(), strtoul(), strtod(), and stdlib.c
