Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN

  add consttime_memequal and explicit_memset from NetBSD

  add explicit_bzero, timingsafe_bcmp and timingsafe_memcmp (OpenBSD APIs useful for crypto)

add explicit_bzero (OpenBSD API)

  move strnlen from libcompat into libc (it's POSIX now)
  fix dn_expand argument signedness

add prototype for timingsafe_memcmp

add strverscmp

  add WANT_GNU_STARTUP_BLOAT in dietfeatures.h to support
    program_invocation_short_name and program_invocation_name
  add INT*_MIN, INT*_MAX, UINT*_MAX, etc to stdint.h
  remove const from stdsignal prototype to agree with standard

  add some gcc attributes and restrict keywords to string.h

  add strdupa and strndupa (for directfb)

  add strnlen (for udev)

oops, wrong prototype for strerror_r

add depreceated header for strerror_r

  first throw, then attributes (Andreas Jabs)

add i386 ffs, ffsl and ffsll
add prototypes to string.h like glibc

make headers C++ compatible

remove gcc 3 prototype kludgery from string.h

  rename __pure__ to __pure (Laurent Bercot)

adding strndup (GNU Extension)
fixing some broken macros in sparc32-code (.udiv,.urem)
fix x86_64 start-code (we have reg-args & PC-relative addressing)

yet another epoll update (this API will be in 2.5.50)
add sendfile64 (yay, finally!)

make strings.h susv3 compliant

lots of cleanups from Florian LaRoche

add memrchr (suggested by Emil)

change __malloc__ to __attribute_malloc__

x86_64 port by Michal Ludvig!

  add stpcpy (from Thomas Ogrisegg)
  check in mktime fix (from Luc Van Oostenryck)

make strncpy optionally zero-fill and not just zero-terminate.
The standard says it should, but it's bloat and normally not useful.

I firmly believe that Sun librpc is ugly beyond repair.
I failed to fix it without substantial code restructuring.
add entry to FAQ about how to create a cross compiler.

lots of warnings removed

fix the strncpy #define to return the right thing.

be more alpha and gcc 2.96 for SuSE 7.1 AXP friendly, add fdatasync.

remove warnings

  strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever.  Found by a new test
    suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
  Thomas Oggrisegg suggested the following:
    add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
    make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
  add a getenv test suite entry.

shave off a few bytes from parselib by removing the exit code from
__prepare_parse, which was not used anyway because you could see whether
it worked by looking at the struct state afterwards.  Uwe Ohse noticed
this.
Also, fix asprintf, which relied on vsnprintf to not write anything when
passed a NULL pointer.  This was no longer the case after Olaf redid the
printf engine.

fix typo in ARM unified syscall,
work around gcc 3 warnings caused by gcc internal wrong prototypes,
make malloc(0) return NULL again,
fix cfgetospeed (used wrong field of struct termios, oops!)

start using __attribute__((malloc)) to improve tell the gcc 3 optimizer
that a function returns a malloced pointer, i.e. the pointer can't alias
any existing data.

kludge around broken gcc warnings

make strerror char*, not const char* (POSIX sucks)

kludge around GNU tar problems

uh-oh, don't clobber ebx on x86!

working around glib bugs...

only declare strsignal with _GNU_SOURCE to work around glib madness

hide bcopy, bcmp, bzero, index and rindex unless _BSD_SOURCE is defined.

move NULL and size_t to stddef.h

a ton of warnings fixed ;)

add strcoll prototype.

add ceil, floor and memchr prototypes.

a few tweaks and updates to make ssh compile.

add ffs prototype.

imported an amazing amount of utterly broken Sun code.
I spent several hours trying to clean up as much of the code as I could
watch without intense bodily pain.  I found at least one piece of code
that should seg-fault randomly without my clean-up.  Sun must die.

bcopy now is an alias for memmove, not memcpy.

string.h     : removed the defines of bcmp/index/rindex
libpthread/* : removed a logic-bug in the cleanup-stack

add several functions to make busybox compile and partially link.

add div and a lot of prototypes.

added #defines for index and rindex.

strtok and strtok_r prototypes added.

add bcopy

several new functions.

added a ton of new prototypes and the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64 #define
trick seems to work now, too.

made ctype functions __attribute__ ((__const__)) (gcc magic).
implemented islower, isupper, strcasecmp and strncasecmp.
added putc and putchar as macros.
#defined STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO and STDERR_FILENO.

files where missing (?)
