[libc-dev] mlibc - an existing libc with similar goals to LLVM libc

[David Chisnall via libc-dev]

Hi,

Is this the repo?

https://github.com/managarm/mlibc

Most of the places that I'd expect to contain code contain a dummy.cpp 
that contains a single stub.  That doesn't match what you say about the 
support, so I assume that I'm looking in the wrong place.  Can you point 
to the correct locations?
