glibc vs musl. Hi, is there any difference glibc and musl libraries? I know that musl has less hardware support, but does it have any advantages over glibc? Or just people use it to say they not use popular glibc. 1 comment. share. save. hide.
musl is more lightweight,neat and well-thoughy with considerably less code comes also much more security, which is the main and probably the only (still surely relevant) musl pro; musl vs glibc performance benchs are often contradictory. musl would perform better only on limited specs/embedded. 7.
musl is great, but currently has a some compatibility issues that should be fixed in time. If you're doing a very specific thing, and musl works for that, then go with musl. However, if you're using your void machine for all sorts of things, then I'd go with glibc. Edit: On any high-end pc, the performance difference between musl and glibc ...
musl is faster, it is rare but you can still get errors on some programs. personally i use musl for servers and glibc for desktop (able to run 32-bit programs, etc) 3. level 2. Unwashed_villager. · 2y. AFAIK musl is not faster, just not so resource heavy as glibc.
