What are unimplemented/skipped in Src
| Chapter | Name | Reason | Relevant Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | mem_segments.rs | Rust does not allow global variables to be unitialized, thus we can not allocate variable in .bss segment | None |
| 6 | longjmp.rs | Relevant syscalls are missing in libc
|
#1 |
| 6 | setjmp_vars.rs | Relevant syscalls are missing in libc
|
#1 |
| 8 | check_passwords-rs |
crypt(3) is not exposed in libc
|
#3 |
| 10 | calendar_time-rs |
ctime(3) and asctime(3) are not exposed in libc
|
#4 |
| 10 | strtime-rs |
strftime(3) and strptime(3) are not exposed in libc
|
#5 |
| 10 | showtime-rs |
strftime(3) and asctime(3) are not exposed in libc
|
None |
| 10 | process_time-rs |
clock(3) is not exposed in libc

None |
What are unimplemented/skipped in Exercise
| Chapter | Exercise | language | Reason | Relevant Issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4-2 | C and Rust | Currently I am not sure about what is a hole and how to create it, for more info, you can check this post | None |
| 6 | 6-2 | Rust |
setjmp and longjmp are missing in libc
|
#1 |
| 6 | 6-3 | Rust | We can not directly access environ in Rust whereas this is necessary to unset the environment variables that are defined multiple times |
#2 |
| 15 | 15-7 | Rust |
FS_* constants are missing from libc
|
None |
| 17 | 17-1 | C | I don' want to touch those acl_xxx_xxx() functions |
None |
What can be improved in Exercise
| Chapter | Exercise | Description | Relevant Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7-2 | The implementation of free() can be improved by merging memory fragments |
None |
