Hi Carlos, I wonder if I might be able to engage you as a backup mentor for a GSoC project that I am proposing here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/gsoc_2015.html The basic idea is to produce a parser for glibc code to tell answer the questions: what feature test macros (FTMs) can be defined to expose the definition of function foo(). The purpose is then to use that information to update FTM information contained in the man pages. However, it would of course also be useful information for the glibc manual, should the project wish to start documenting such things. (I believe this information is little documented in the manual at the moment.) What do you think of the idea? And would you be willing to be a backup mentor? (I expect little effort to be involved on your part, but GSoc requires two mentors for a proposal.) BTW, if any other glibc maintainer would be willing to act as a backup mentor, I'd be happy hear from you.
