Annotation of dietlibc/CHANGES, revision 1.141
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).
1.117 fefe 4: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
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)
8: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
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.
1.126 fefe 22: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 23: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 24: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
25: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
26: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 27: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
28: warning.
1.131 fefe 29: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 30: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 31: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
32: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
33: too)
1.134 fefe 34: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
35: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 36: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
37: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 38: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 39: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 40: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
41: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 42: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.139 fefe 43: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty. Thanks, Uwe Ohse.
1.140 fefe 44: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened (thanks, Uwe Ohse)
45: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
46: Thanks, Uwe.
1.141 ! fefe 47: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
! 48: Thanks, Uwe.
! 49: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF. Thanks, Uwe.
1.115 fefe 50:
1.74 fefe 51: 0.10:
52: update getpagesize.
53: add personality.
1.75 fefe 54: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 55: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
56: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 57: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 58: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 59: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
60: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 61: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 62: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 63: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
64: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
65: heroic act of self-mutilation.
66: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 67: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
68: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
69: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 70: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 71: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 72: add res_init.
73: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 74: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 75: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
76: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 77: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 78: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 79: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 80: add setenv.
81: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
82: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
83: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
84: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
85: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 86: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
87: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 88: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 89: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 90: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
91: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 92: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
93: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 94: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
95: bytes, not the buffer)
96: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 97: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 98: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
99: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 100: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
101: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 102: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 103: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 104: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 105: add killpg
1.110 fefe 106: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
107: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 108: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 109: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 110: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
111: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 112: add getserv*.
113: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
114: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 115:
1.73 fefe 116: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 117: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 118: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
119: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 120: add fnmatch
121: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 122: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 123: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
124: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
125: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 126: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 127: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 128: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 129:
1.64 fefe 130: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 131: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
132: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 133: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 134: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 135: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 136: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 137: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 138: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
139: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 140: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
141: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
142: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
143: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 144: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
145: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
146: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 147: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 148: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
149: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 150: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 151: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 152: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 153: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
154: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 155: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 156: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
157: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 158: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 159: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 160: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
161: everbody knows what to do with it...
162: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 163: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 164: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
165: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 166: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 167: added nice
168: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
169: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
170: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 171: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 172: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 173: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 174: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
175: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 176: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 177:
1.21 fefe 178: 0.7.2:
179: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
180: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 181: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
182: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
183: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
184: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
185: and daemon() ;-)
186: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
187: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
188: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 189: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 190: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
191: limits.h instead)
192: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
193: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 194: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
195: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 196: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 197: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
198: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 199: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 200: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 201: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 202: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 203: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 204:
1.9 fefe 205: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 206: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
207: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
208: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 209: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 210: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 211: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
212: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 213: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 214: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 215: added isupper and islower.
216: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 217: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
218: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 219: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 220: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 221: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
222: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 223:
224: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 225: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 226: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
227: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
228: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
229: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 230: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
231: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 232: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
233: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
234: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 235: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 236: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
237: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
238: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 239: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 240:
241: 0.6.14:
242: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
243: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
244: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
245: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
246: supported).
247: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
248: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
249:
250: 0.6.13:
251: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
252: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
253: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
254: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
255: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
256: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
257: this!
258: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
259: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
260:
261: 0.6.12:
262: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
263: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
264:
265: 0.6.11:
266: added putenv.
267:
268: 0.6.10:
269: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
270: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
271: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
272: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
273:
274: 0.6.9:
275: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
276: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
277: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
278: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
279: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
280: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
281:
282: 0.6.8:
283: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
284: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
285: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
286: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
287: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
288: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
289: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
290: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
291: the unrolling.
292: added sendfile.
293: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
294: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
295: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
296: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
297: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
298:
299: 0.6.7:
300: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
301: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
302: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
303: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
304: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
305: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
306: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
307: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
308: dietlibc headers.
309:
310: 0.6.6:
311: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
312: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
313: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
314: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
315: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
316: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
317: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
318: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
319: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
320: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
321: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
322: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
323:
324: 0.6.5:
325: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
326: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
327: functions.
328: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
329: several bugs.
330: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
331: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
332:
333: 0.6.4:
334: declared is* static inline in getservent.
335: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
336: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
337: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
338: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
339: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
340: of the box.
341: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
342: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
343: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
344: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
345: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
346: applications.
347: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
348: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
349: very often and are substantially faster.
350: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
351: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
352: proton (thanks, anyway).
353: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
354: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
355:
356: 0.6.3:
357: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
358: added isblank
359: added atol
360:
361: 0.6.2:
362: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
363:
364: 0.6.1:
365: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
366: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
367: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
368:
369: 0.6:
370: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
371: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
372: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
373: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
374: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
375: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
376: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
377: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
378: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
379: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
380: simplify the sources greatly.
381: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
382: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
383: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
384: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
385: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
386:
387: 0.5.12:
388: printf also does signed numbers.
389: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
390: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
391: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
392: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
393: return the number of bytes it would have written.
394: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
395: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
396: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
397: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
398: tell me!
399:
400: 0.5.11:
401: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
402: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
403: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
404: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
405: 2864 bytes on sparc
406: 2488 bytes on intel
407: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
408: to make a few more applications work.
409: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
410: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
411: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
412: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
413: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
414: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
415:
416: 0.5.10:
417: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
418: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
419: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
420: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
421: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
422: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
423: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
424: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
425: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
426: system call!)
427:
428: 0.5.9:
429: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
430: fixed strdup
431: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
432: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
433: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
434: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
435: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
436: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
437: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
438: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
439: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
440: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
441: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
442: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
443: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
444: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
445: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
446: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
447: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
448: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
449:
450: 0.5.8:
451: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
452:
453: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
454: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
455: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
456: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
457:
458: added execvp, getcwd
459:
460: fixed __xmknod
461:
462: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
463: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
464: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
465: not follow symlinks.
466:
467: 0.5.7:
468: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
469:
470: 0.5.6:
471: ported to ppc-linux.
472: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
473: included sigjmp.c
474:
475: 0.5.5:
476: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
477: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
478: I fixed it now.
479: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
480: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
481:
482: 0.5.4:
483: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
484: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
485:
486: 0.5.3:
487: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
488:
489: 0.5.2:
490: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
491: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
492: added localtime from uC-libc.
493:
494: 0.5.1:
495: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
496: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
497: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
498: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
499: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
500: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
501: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
502:
503: 0.5:
504: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
505: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
506: split each system call into a separate object file
507: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
508:
509: 0.4.1:
510: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
511:
512: 0.4:
513: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
514: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
515:
516: 0.3:
517: remove readdir system call
518: added getdents system call
519: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
520: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
