FreeBSD C99 and POSIX® Conformance Project

FreeBSD C99 & POSIX Conformance Project
Project Goal

The FreeBSD C99 & POSIX® Conformance Project aims to implement all requirements of the ISO 9899:1999 (C99) and IEEE 1003.1-2001 (POSIX) standards. In cases where aspects of these standards cannot be followed, those aspects will be documented in the c99(7) or posix(7) manuals. It is also an aim of this project to implement regression tests to ensure correctness whenever possible.

Project Plan

All of the initial development takes place in the -CURRENT branch and most changes are merged into the -STABLE branch. Since this is a rather large project and is being done on a volunteer basis, there is no set schedule.

How to Contribute

The project is always looking for additional contributors. If you wish to participate, the best way to find out what is happening is to subscribe to the freebsd-standards mailing list. If you are working on a specific task relating to the project, you should mail to the list with a description of the task so that your task can be listed below.
