Does anyone have any experience with musl? If so, what was your experience like?

Does anyone have any experience with musl? If so, what was your experience like? Hate it/love it? Encounter any weird quirky interactions with C++ code?

I used musl with OpenWRT,IIRC there were some unimplemented C++ things (this was 2-3 years ago, `to_string` was incomplete, but this was a fairly oldish version even then)

it's a good C library, well-thought out and properly implemented, following strict POSIX compliance
the problem is that it follows *strict* POSIX compliance, instead of GNUisms from glibc.it's also meant for embedded systems, where C++ isn't usually used.MUSL is a *C* library, not a standard C++ library.the other problem with musl is its community
I have second-hand knowledge of problems in that area, which means it's third-hand to you, so take with a grain of salt.

One console vendor does use musl internally.I did recommend using it for one of our projects. If you're into small, embedded systems, it's actually pretty good.
I just don't see how you match that to a *C++* project, since you need a standard C++ library in addition and there aren't good options that work for small systems.
or compilers, for that matter. The trend in C++ libraries and compiler state-of-the-art is towards faster-but-bigger code.
