1.115     fefe        1: 0.11:
                      2:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116     fefe        3:   fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).

                      5:   add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118     fefe        6:   cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
                      7:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)

                      9:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe       10:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe       11:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                     12:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                     13:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe       14:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                     15:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
                     16:     I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe       17:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                     18:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe       19:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe       20:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125   ! fefe       21:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

                     65:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe       66:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                     67:     bytes, not the buffer)

1.45      fefe      120:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    121:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)

1.54      fefe      132:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    133:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    134:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      135:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      136:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    137:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      138:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      139:   added nice
                    140:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    141:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    142:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      143:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      144:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)

                    151:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    152:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      153:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    154:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    155:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    156:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    157:     and daemon() ;-)
                    158:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    159:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    160:     libraries anyway.

                    163:     limits.h instead)
                    164:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    165:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      166:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    167:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      168:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      169:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    170:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.

1.31      fefe      173:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      174:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      175:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      176: 
1.9       fefe      177: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      178:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    179:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    180:   added system (by Olaf).

1.18      fefe      191:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      192:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      193:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    194:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      195: 
                    196: 0.7:

                    199:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    200:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,

                    203:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      204:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    205:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    206:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      207:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      208:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    209:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    210:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      211:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       212: 
                    213: 0.6.14:
                    214:   *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
                    215:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    216:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    217:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    218:     supported).
                    219:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    220:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    221: 
                    222: 0.6.13:
                    223:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    224:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    225:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    226:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    227:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    228:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    229:     this!
                    230:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    231:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    232: 
                    233: 0.6.12:
                    234:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    235:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    236: 
                    237: 0.6.11:
                    238:   added putenv.
                    239: 
                    240: 0.6.10:
                    241:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    242:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    243:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    244:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    245: 
                    246: 0.6.9:
                    247:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    248:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    249:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    250:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    251:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    252:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    253: 
                    254: 0.6.8:
                    255:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    256:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    257:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    258:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    259:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    260:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    261:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    262:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    263:     the unrolling.
                    264:   added sendfile.
                    265:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    266:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    267:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    268:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    269:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    270: 
                    271: 0.6.7:
                    272:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    273:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    274:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    275:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    276:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    277:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    278:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    279:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    280:     dietlibc headers.
                    281: 
                    282: 0.6.6:
                    283:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    284:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    285:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    286:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    287:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    288:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    289:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    290:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    291:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    292:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    293:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    294:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    295: 
                    296: 0.6.5:
                    297:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    298:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    299:     functions.
                    300:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    301:     several bugs.
                    302:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    303:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    304: 
                    305: 0.6.4:
                    306:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    307:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    308:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    309:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    310:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    311:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    312:     of the box.
                    313:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    314:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    315:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    316:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    317:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    318:     applications.
                    319:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    320:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    321:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    322:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    323:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    324:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    325:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    326:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    327: 
                    328: 0.6.3:
                    329:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    330:   added isblank
                    331:   added atol
                    332: 
                    333: 0.6.2:
                    334:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    335: 
                    336: 0.6.1:
                    337:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    338:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    339:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    340: 
                    341: 0.6:
                    342:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    343:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    344:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    345:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    346:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    347:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    348:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    349:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    350:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    351:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    352:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    353:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    354:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    355:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    356:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    357:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    358: 
                    359: 0.5.12:
                    360:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    361:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    362:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    363:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    364:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    365:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    366:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    367:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    368:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    369:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    370:     tell me!
                    371: 
                    372: 0.5.11:
                    373:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    374:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    375:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    376:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    377:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    378:     2488 bytes on intel
                    379:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    380:     to make a few more applications work.
                    381:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    382:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    383:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    384:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    385:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    386:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    387: 
                    388: 0.5.10:
                    389:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    390:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    391:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    392:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    393:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    394:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    395:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    396:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    397:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    398:     system call!)
                    399: 
                    400: 0.5.9:
                    401:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    402:   fixed strdup
                    403:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    404:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    405:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    406:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    407:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    408:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    409:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    410:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    411:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    412:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    413:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    414:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    415:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    416:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    417:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    418:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    419:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    420:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    421: 
                    422: 0.5.8:
                    423:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    424: 
                    425:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    426:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    427:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                    428:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                    429: 
                    430:   added execvp, getcwd
                    431: 
                    432:   fixed __xmknod
                    433: 
                    434:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                    435:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                    436:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                    437:   not follow symlinks.
                    438: 
                    439: 0.5.7:
                    440:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                    441: 
                    442: 0.5.6:
                    443:   ported to ppc-linux.
                    444:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                    445:   included sigjmp.c
                    446: 
                    447: 0.5.5:
                    448:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                    449:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                    450:   I fixed it now.
                    451:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                    452:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                    453: 
                    454: 0.5.4:
                    455:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                    456:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                    457: 
                    458: 0.5.3:
                    459:   added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
                    460: 
                    461: 0.5.2:
                    462:   added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
                    463:     (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
                    464:   added localtime from uC-libc.
                    465: 
                    466: 0.5.1:
                    467:   stat and friends actually work now.  Yuck!  Another case of
                    468:     translation between kernel and userland.  Why can't the kernel
                    469:     people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
                    470:   removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
                    471:   added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
                    472:   inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
                    473:   "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
                    474: 
                    475: 0.5:
                    476:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
                    477:   each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
                    478:   split each system call into a separate object file
                    479:   added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
                    480: 
                    481: 0.4.1:
                    482:   oops, the strchr implementation was wrong.  Thanks Jens Laas!
                    483: 
                    484: 0.4:

                    488: 0.3:
                    489:   remove readdir system call
                    490:   added getdents system call
