    stdlib\libc\gdtoa\strtod.c(825) : warning C4789: destination of memory copy is too small\r
\r

3:  Usage Clarification                                       2012  Understood/Document\r
    Clarify that the current StdLib may not be used for developing drivers.\r
\r
4:  Execution/Compile errors                                  2012  Understood\r
    Mismatch in use of EFIAPI between declaration and definition of some functions.\r
\r
5:  Error message Quality during execution                    2012  Verified\r
    Performing filesystem operations when a filesystem driver has not been\r
    linked into the application results in hangs or error messages that are\r
    misleading or unclear as to the cause.\r
\r
6:  Application error return                                  2012  Verified\r
    On error, applications will sometimes return large positive numbers.\r
\r

    StdLib/LibC/Containers/Queues/Fifo.c:508:27: error: assignment from incompatible pointer type\r

8:  chdir/cwd not in EFI Shell                                2012  Understood\r
    The chdir and getcwd functions only work if one is using the UEFI Shell.\r
\r
9:  No current volume/directory at app. startup.              2012  Understood\r
    If the Shell does not have a current volume or directory, file operations\r
    may hang or fail.\r
