Does devkitpro/libnx contain a proper implementation of the C standard library, or does it act as a replacement?

By which what I mean will functions like fopen, syscall, etc work? I know libnx provides its own functions to do most things, but does it implement them inside the standard library too?

I was asking because I'm in the middle of implementing a switch helper library for c++ (mainly because as a c++ programmer the design and use libnx is semi-alien to me). Doing that would be much much easier with a c++ standard library implementation for the switch. Since the C++ std library builds from the C one then: if libnx implements it I can build my c++ std lib from that, if not I would make a cstdlib as well since it wouldn't take too much extra effort, and I imagine people would appreciate one.

you would likely get more traction in talking directly to the Devs on Discord. It will be tough conversations for sure but you will get a ton more feedback.

Is there a specific discord the Devs hang about on? I don't actually know of any

Btw, what do you mean by togh conversations?

libc is a part of devkitA64 from devkitpro which is used to compile homebrew for Switch.

libc functions are not a part of libnx and libnx is not a part of devkitA64. Answering second question here.
