musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
the extra terms 3 and LDBL_MANT_DIG/4 are remnants of a proto-musl implementation of printf where the sign/prefix and floating point conversions were performed naively into this buffer. having them there obscures the actual intended buffer size (sufficient to hold between 2 and 3 octal digits per byte, rounded up to 3 for simplicity) and interferes with upcoming work to add C2x binary formats which would otherwise be stuck having to explain a similar fix to buffer size as part of an unrelated change. |

WHATSNEW |
musl libc musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and glibc functionality. For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
