Re: [edk2-devel] CdePkg - added unit test for ASSERT.H and LOCALE.H functions

Good day,

I have seen e-mails about this package several times now and got a bit 
curious about its purpose and future. As far as I understood it, it aims 
to provide an actual full C standard library implementation. Is this 
planned to land in edk2 and if so, in what ways will one be encouraged 
to use it? Usually it's considered best practice to keep the code 
quantity in low levels to a minimum, and I do not think even most kernel 
spaces implement a *full* C standard library for this reason.

Will it be a first-class citizen, properly reviewed, and is there a 
chance the rest of edk2 is (very slowly) transfered to a standard C 
stack? Or will it "just" be a handy set of libraries for porting 
purposes? Especially in latter case, this, to me intuitively, sounds 
like a maintainance and reviewing nightmare, but I'm happy to hear about 
the future plans if you're willing to share them.

Best regards,
Marvin

> Environment Package
>
> Hi UEFI community,
>
> I’d like to introduce the CdePkg to edk2-staging.
>
> Some time ago I decided to write my own ANSI C Library for UEFI Shell 
> and POST.
>
> The UEFI Shell library (“Torito C Library”) has been production-ready 
> for more than one year.
>
> The POST version of the library (“CdeLib”) is not yet fully tested.
>
> I will be demonstrating my verification procedure in the upcoming 
> weeks on EDK2 STAGING 
> https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/CdePkg
>
> Currently there are 3 examples implemented:
>

> Upcoming next demonstration will be the *clock()*function end of this week
>
> The idea is to bring the ANSI C Library interface into POST drivers.
>
> This will:
>
>  1. ease porting tasks
>  2. allow cross development
>  3. allow developers to focus on their aims, because they aren’t
>     forced to keep in mind a lot of additional info (e.g. *RShiftU64*)
>  4. provide all intrisics to allow the compiler to be a “C compiler”
>
> (e.g. *char buffer[256] = { 1*};)
>
> What is CdePkg and Torito C Library?
>
>   * CdePkg and Torito C Library are a /one man show / after work
>     party/, that is owned and written solely by myself
>   * CdePkg is a reference implementation only for Microsoft C compiler
>   * CdePkg is a feasibility study
>   * CdePkg is the successor of Torito C, based on the same source code
>   * CdePkg C Development Environment is similar to  MdePkg Module
>     Development Environment
>
> but guarantees  that the C compiler is always fully usable (all 
> intrinsics available) and the C90/C95 standard library is always available
>
> What are the design goals?
>
>   * to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, without using any public
>     source code from GNU, BSD, Watcom
>   * completeness: full blown C90 + C95 support, as lowest common
>     denominator
>   * tailored for UEFI: small code size, for UEFI-POST-driver uses a
>     C-Library-Driver, that contains core/worker functions for
>     *realloc()* == *malloc()*and*free()*,
>
> entire*printf()*-family, entire*scanf()*-family.
>
> UEFI-POST-driver just uses small wrapper functions to run the 
> C-Library-Driver code.
>
>   * stable, exact, chipset independent TSC based *clock()*
>     with*CLOCKS_PER_SEC* == 1000
>   * complete set of the Microsoft C-compiler intrinsic functions
>   * ROM-able! Runs with stack but w/o any static storage duration in
>     .data segment, e.g. for *rand(), strtok(), tmpfile()***
>
> This is required for early PEI before memory sizing, when PEI-images 
> run directly out of flash
>
>   * Microsoft (bug) compatible (as far as possible)
>
>      1. use original Microsoft header files for UEFI Shell Apps
>         created in VS2019
>      2. allow expensive debugging tasks of ANSI C .EFI applications in
>         Visual Studio in its Windows NT counter part
>      3. to save my lifetime writing a documentation
>         https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/CdePkg/implemented.md#validation-status
>
>   * all the above in one single C-Library CdeLib.lib
>
> *CdePkg*shall be adjusted to other compilers/tool chains too, once it 
> is feature-complete and accepted by the UEFI community.
>
> As long as it is for Microsoft VS2019 only.
