What are unimplemented/skipped in Src

Chapter	Name	Reason	Relevant Issue
6	mem_segments.rs	Rust does not allow global variables to be unitialized, thus we can not allocate variable in .bss segment	None
6	longjmp.rs	Relevant syscalls are missing in libc	#1
6	setjmp_vars.rs	Relevant syscalls are missing in libc	#1
8	check_passwords-rs	crypt(3) is not exposed in libc	#3
10	calendar_time-rs	ctime(3) and asctime(3) are not exposed in libc	#4
10	strtime-rs	strftime(3) and strptime(3) are not exposed in libc	#5
10	showtime-rs	strftime(3) and asctime(3) are not exposed in libc	None
10	process_time-rs	clock(3) is not exposed in libc	None

What are unimplemented/skipped in Exercise

Chapter	Exercise	language	Reason	Relevant Issue
4	4-2	C and Rust	Currently I am not sure about what is a hole and how to create it, for more info, you can check this post	None
6	6-2	Rust	setjmp and longjmp are missing in libc	#1
6	6-3	Rust	We can not directly access environ in Rust whereas this is necessary to unset the environment variables that are defined multiple times	#2
15	15-7	Rust	FS_* constants are missing from libc	None
17	17-1	C	I don' want to touch those acl_xxx_xxx() functions	None

What can be improved in Exercise

Chapter	Exercise	Description	Relevant Issue
7	7-2	The implementation of free() can be improved by merging memory fragments	None
