somewhere else?

bionic/libc contains the C library source code, including the pthread implementation
bionic/libm is the math library
bionic/libthread_db is only used for debugging threaded programs

Hi David,

              thanks for replying.but some of the dirs there in system/core/ by the name libcutils,libutils,android_runtime and other libraries like libdvm,libcrypto what they do?

are these libraries part of bionic libc or not?

Please reply

 

Regards,

DJ

[David Turner]

no they are not,

libcutils is a library containing various useful C-based utility functions used by the system
libutils contains additionnal C++ based utility functions/classes
android_runtime is where all the yummy JNI stuff called by the Java framework lives
libcrypto is for crypto stuff

system/core contains the "core" native libraries, but not the C library, math library, dynamic linker which are under bionic/...

hope this helps
