[pdclib-announce] Re: Hej

[Baute, M. <Mar...@co...>]

Hi all,

thanks to Carsten for being the one to prove that this mailing list
is, indeed, functional. ;-)

This list should first and foremost be used to keep all contributors
informed on who is working on which part of the library.

Wanted posts:

"I've been the one working on the log() family of math functions.
I checked in my current work, and will be gone for holidays the
next two weeks, so others could take over if they want."

"I want to start working on the *printf() functions. If anyone
is already working on them, please holler."

Unwanted posts:

- politics;
- link of the day;
- "I just subscribed; hi everybody!"

A more or less up-to-date tally of what is being actively worked upon
will be available at http://pdclib.sourceforge.net.

Use the forum at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdclib/ for questions,
general communication etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for now, I am working on the headers, i.e. getting all identifiers
in there even if the macro definitions are still missing. For the
beginning, I will make the headers "flat", i.e. without regard to any
specific platform, or even multiplatform. Platform specific #defines
are simply left undefined like this:

#define INT_MAX // TODO

Open Tasks for now include any headers that were added to the standard
either by Ammendment 1 or C99, because all the PD sources I found so
far refered to the older C89 standard only.

I would also welcome the input of someone having experience in setting
up a multi-platform build tree - stuff like limits.h or stdint.h, being
completely platform-dependent, will force us into using lots of #ifdef's,
and I want this to be as clean and transparent as possible.

Regards,
