commit618b18c78eremoved the previous detection and hardening since it was incorrect. commit72141795d4already handled all that remained for hardening the static-linked case. in the dynamic-linked case, have the dynamic linker check whether malloc was replaced and make that information available. with these changes, the properties documented in commitc9f415d7eaare restored: if calloc is not provided, it will behave as malloc+memset, and any of the memalign-family functions not provided will fail with ENOMEM.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
