Building GNU C Library (glibc) with LLVM and Clang - MAD24 Session 226

Learn about the challenges and solutions involved in building glibc with Clang in this technical conference talk. Explore the necessary modifications required to adapt glibc, traditionally developed with GNU toolchain projects and GCC extensions, to work with Clang as the default compiler. Discover the subtle differences between compilers, corner cases, and required changes for both the library implementation and its comprehensive test suite. Gain insights into ensuring proper code generation and API compatibility when transitioning from GCC to Clang tooling.
