Hello,

In the doc folder under WinArm shows the libc documentation.
The documentation is a redhat document. Does WinArm GCC support
just the standard C lib functions shown in the documentations ?
Is this considered the "official" GCC documentation for libc.

Thanks

The libc in "WinARM GCC" is the newlib (which is the libc also used in
most other GNU-collections like GNUARM, Yagarto etc.). There is not "GCC
documentation" for libc. Since the gcc and the newlib are different
projects.
There are some documents included in WinARM: the gnupro_libc_lib is
basicly the documentation available in libc.pdf and libm.pdf in a single
file. Both describe the newlib.
There are more functions available than those mentioned in documents
because (a) the documents are for older versions of the newlib (b) some
functions are not documented even in the latest online-documentation at
http://sourceware.org/newlib/docs.html .
The documetation on sourceware.org can be seen as the "official"
documentation.
