1.98      fefe       48:   fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing!  Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)

                    105:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    106:     S-Lang!)

1.45      fefe      108:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    109:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)

1.52      fefe      118:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      119:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      120:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    121:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    122:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      123:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      124:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    125:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      126:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      127:   added nice
                    128:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    129:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    130:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      131:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      132:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)

1.34      fefe      137: 
1.21      fefe      138: 0.7.2:
                    139:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    140:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      141:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    142:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    143:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    144:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    145:     and daemon() ;-)
                    146:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    147:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    148:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      149:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      150:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    151:     limits.h instead)
                    152:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    153:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      154:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    155:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      156:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      157:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    158:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.

1.30      fefe      160:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      161:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      162:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      163:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      164: 
1.9       fefe      165: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      166:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    167:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    168:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      169:   added tolower and toupper

                    172:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      173:   added pause for all (by Olaf).

1.18      fefe      179:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      180:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      181:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    182:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      183: 
                    184: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      185:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       186:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    187:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    188:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    189:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      190:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    191:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      192:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    193:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    194:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      195:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      196:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    197:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    198:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      199:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       200: 
                    201: 0.6.14:

                    204:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    205:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    206:     supported).
                    207:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    208:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    209: 
                    210: 0.6.13:
                    211:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the

                    213:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    214:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    215:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    216:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    217:     this!
                    218:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    219:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    220: 
                    221: 0.6.12:
                    222:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    223:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    224: 
                    225: 0.6.11:
                    226:   added putenv.
                    227: 
                    228: 0.6.10:
                    229:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    230:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    231:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    232:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    233: 
                    234: 0.6.9:
                    235:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    236:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    237:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    238:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    239:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    240:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    241: 
                    242: 0.6.8:
                    243:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    244:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    245:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    246:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    247:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    248:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    249:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    250:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    251:     the unrolling.
                    252:   added sendfile.
                    253:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    254:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    255:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    256:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    257:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    258: 
                    259: 0.6.7:
                    260:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    261:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    262:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    263:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    264:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    265:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    266:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    267:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    268:     dietlibc headers.
                    269: 
                    270: 0.6.6:
                    271:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    272:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    273:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    274:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    275:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    276:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    277:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    278:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    279:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    280:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    281:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    282:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    283: 
                    284: 0.6.5:
                    285:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    286:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    287:     functions.
                    288:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    289:     several bugs.
                    290:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    291:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    292: 
                    293: 0.6.4:
                    294:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    295:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    296:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    297:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    298:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    299:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    300:     of the box.
                    301:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    302:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    303:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    304:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    305:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    306:     applications.
                    307:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    308:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    309:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    310:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    311:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    312:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    313:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    314:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    315: 
                    316: 0.6.3:
                    317:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    318:   added isblank
                    319:   added atol
                    320: 
                    321: 0.6.2:
                    322:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    323: 
                    324: 0.6.1:
                    325:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    326:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    327:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    328: 
                    329: 0.6:
                    330:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    331:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    332:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    333:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    334:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    335:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    336:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    337:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    338:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    339:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    340:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    341:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    342:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    343:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    344:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    345:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    346: 
                    347: 0.5.12:
                    348:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    349:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    350:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    351:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    352:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    353:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    354:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    355:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    356:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    357:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    358:     tell me!
                    359: 
                    360: 0.5.11:
                    361:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    362:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    363:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    364:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    365:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    366:     2488 bytes on intel
                    367:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    368:     to make a few more applications work.
                    369:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    370:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    371:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    372:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    373:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    374:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    375: 
                    376: 0.5.10:
                    377:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    378:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    379:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    380:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    381:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    382:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    383:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    384:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    385:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    386:     system call!)
                    387: 
                    388: 0.5.9:
                    389:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    390:   fixed strdup
                    391:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    392:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    393:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    394:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    395:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    396:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    397:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    398:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    399:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    400:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    401:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    402:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    403:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    404:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    405:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    406:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    407:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    408:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    409: 
                    410: 0.5.8:
                    411:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    412: 
                    413:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    414:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    415:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
