This commit adds some documentation on what are the limitations of using Picolibc as a standard C library for native modules. This also contains a reference to the "errno" issue when building natmods on RV32 that the PR this commit is part of, as it is not obvious how to approach this issue when encountered for the first time.

Using Picolibc when building modules
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Using `Picolibc <https://github.com/picolibc/picolibc>`_ as your C standard
|
||||
library is not only supported, but in fact it is the default for the rv32imc
|
||||
platform. However, there are a couple of things worth mentioning to make sure
|
||||
you don't run into problems later when building code.
|
||||
|
||||
Some pre-built Picolibc versions (for example, those provided by Ubuntu Linux
|
||||
as the ``picolibc-arm-none-eabi``, ``picolibc-riscv64-unknown-elf``, and
|
||||
``picolibc-xtensa-lx106-elf`` packages) assume thread-local storage (TLS) is
|
||||
available at runtime, but unfortunately MicroPython modules do not support that
|
||||
on some architectures (namely ``rv32imc``). This means that some
|
||||
functionalities provided by Picolibc will default to use TLS, returning an
|
||||
error either during compilation or during linking.
|
||||
|
||||
For an example on how this may affect you, the ``examples/natmod/btree``
|
||||
example module contains a workaround to make sure ``errno`` works (look for
|
||||
``__PICOLIBC_ERRNO_FUNCTION`` in the Makefile and follow the trail from there).
