State of the `edk2-libc` project

Hello!
What is the state of the `edk2-libc` project? The last commit is dated Apr 29, 2019. I've tried to compile `edk2-libc` with the master `edk2` and have come to some build issues. For example this edk2 commit (13 Oct 2020 "MdePkg: Remove code wrapped by DISABLE_NEW_DEPRECATED_INTERFACES" https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/9c1f455f5f0ee63ce080940bf974aac4fefe526b) have dropped support for several functions, but these functions are still used in `edk2-libs`: - `StrCpy` and `StrCpy` functions are used in https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-libc/blob/master/StdLib/LibC/Wchar/Copying.c - `AsciiStrCat` and `AsciiStrnCat` functions are used in https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-libc/blob/master/StdLib/LibC/String/Concatenation.c In the modern `edk2` all these old functions are replaced with their safe versions (StrCpyS, StrCpyS, AsciiStrCatS, AsciiStrnCatS). My question is should these unsafe string functions be deprecated in the `edk2-libc` as well? And more importantly does the tianocore community have any plans for support of `edk2-libc` project or can it be counted as obsolete? Best regards, Konstantin Aladyshev |

I submitted a patch to fix it several weeks ago, but it never got committed.

By the lack of replies, I suspect we should bring it up as a topic of discussion in the Community Meeting next week.
