Technical work
He has also authored several well recognised articles and papers on computer programming, most of which are publicly available on his website. Some of these articles include:
- "How to write shared libraries": an article on how to write dynamic shared objects to obtain optimal results.[1]
- "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory": an article about different aspects of memory and processor caches that can aid programmers on obtaining best results on memory management.[2]
Community interaction
Drepper has publicly complained about many of his collaborators such as Richard Stallman,[3] the Linux Standard Base,[4] and the ISO group for standardising the C and C++ languages.[5]
Drepper's attitude towards communication was cited as one of the primary reasons for the Debian project starting a transition from glibc to EGLIBC.[6]
