bionic documentation

bionic is Android's C library, math library, and dynamic linker.

User documentation

  • Android bionic status - where we are in terms of standards, and what changed with each OS release.
  • 32-bit ABI bugs - historical accidents we can never fix.
  • EINTR - what is the EINTR failure, and how can code deal with it?
  • When to use which #define - how to choose between __ANDROID__ and __BIONIC__ and all the other options for conditional compilation.
  • fdsan - bionic's file descriptor sanitizer, which detects use-after-close() bugs.
  • fdtrack - bionic's file descriptor tracker, which helps debug file descriptor leaks.
