Annotation of dietlibc/CHANGES, revision 1.166
1.164 fefe 1: 0.12:
2: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 3: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.166 ! fefe 4: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
! 5: routines to make them smaller.
1.164 fefe 6:
1.115 fefe 7: 0.11:
8: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 9: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 10: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
11: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 12: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
13: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
14: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
15: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 16: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 17: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
18: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
19: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 20: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
21: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
22: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 23: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
24: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 25: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 26: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 27: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 28: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 29: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 30: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
31: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
32: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 33: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
34: warning.
1.131 fefe 35: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 36: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 37: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
38: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
39: too)
1.134 fefe 40: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
41: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 42: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
43: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 44: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 45: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 46: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
47: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 48: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 49: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 50: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
51: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
52: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
53: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
54: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
55: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
56: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
57: behavior.
58: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
59: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 60: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
61: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 62: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
63: same problem.
64: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
65: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 66: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
67: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 68: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 69: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 70: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
71: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 72: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
73: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 74: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 75: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 76: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 77: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 78: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 79: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
80: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 81: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
82: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 83: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 84: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 85: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
86: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 87: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
88: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 89: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
90: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
91: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 92:
1.74 fefe 93: 0.10:
94: update getpagesize.
95: add personality.
1.75 fefe 96: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 97: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
98: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 99: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 100: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 101: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
102: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 103: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 104: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 105: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
106: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
107: heroic act of self-mutilation.
108: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 109: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
110: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
111: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 112: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 113: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 114: add res_init.
115: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 116: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 117: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
118: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 119: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 120: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 121: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 122: add setenv.
123: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
124: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
125: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
126: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
127: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 128: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
129: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 130: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 131: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 132: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
133: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 134: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
135: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 136: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
137: bytes, not the buffer)
138: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 139: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 140: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
141: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 142: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
143: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 144: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 145: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 146: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 147: add killpg
1.110 fefe 148: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
149: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 150: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 151: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 152: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
153: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 154: add getserv*.
155: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
156: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 157:
1.73 fefe 158: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 159: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 160: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
161: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 162: add fnmatch
163: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 164: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 165: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
166: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
167: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 168: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 169: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 170: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 171:
1.64 fefe 172: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 173: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
174: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 175: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 176: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 177: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 178: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 179: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 180: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
181: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 182: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
183: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
184: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
185: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 186: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
187: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
188: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 189: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 190: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
191: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 192: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 193: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 194: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 195: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
196: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 197: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 198: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
199: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 200: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 201: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 202: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
203: everbody knows what to do with it...
204: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 205: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 206: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
207: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 208: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 209: added nice
210: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
211: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
212: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 213: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 214: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 215: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 216: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
217: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 218: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 219:
1.21 fefe 220: 0.7.2:
221: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
222: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 223: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
224: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
225: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
226: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
227: and daemon() ;-)
228: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
229: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
230: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 231: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 232: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
233: limits.h instead)
234: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
235: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 236: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
237: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 238: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 239: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
240: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 241: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 242: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 243: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 244: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 245: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 246:
1.9 fefe 247: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 248: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
249: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
250: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 251: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 252: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 253: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
254: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 255: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 256: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 257: added isupper and islower.
258: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 259: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
260: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 261: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 262: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 263: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
264: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 265:
266: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 267: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 268: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
269: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
270: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
271: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 272: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
273: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 274: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
275: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
276: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 277: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 278: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
279: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
280: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 281: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 282:
283: 0.6.14:
284: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
285: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
286: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
287: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
288: supported).
289: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
290: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
291:
292: 0.6.13:
293: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
294: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
295: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
296: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
297: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
298: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
299: this!
300: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
301: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
302:
303: 0.6.12:
304: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
305: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
306:
307: 0.6.11:
308: added putenv.
309:
310: 0.6.10:
311: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
312: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
313: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
314: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
315:
316: 0.6.9:
317: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
318: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
319: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
320: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
321: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
322: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
323:
324: 0.6.8:
325: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
326: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
327: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
328: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
329: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
330: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
331: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
332: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
333: the unrolling.
334: added sendfile.
335: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
336: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
337: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
338: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
339: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
340:
341: 0.6.7:
342: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
343: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
344: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
345: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
346: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
347: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
348: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
349: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
350: dietlibc headers.
351:
352: 0.6.6:
353: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
354: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
355: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
356: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
357: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
358: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
359: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
360: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
361: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
362: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
363: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
364: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
365:
366: 0.6.5:
367: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
368: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
369: functions.
370: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
371: several bugs.
372: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
373: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
374:
375: 0.6.4:
376: declared is* static inline in getservent.
377: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
378: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
379: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
380: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
381: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
382: of the box.
383: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
384: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
385: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
386: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
387: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
388: applications.
389: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
390: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
391: very often and are substantially faster.
392: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
393: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
394: proton (thanks, anyway).
395: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
396: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
397:
398: 0.6.3:
399: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
400: added isblank
401: added atol
402:
403: 0.6.2:
404: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
405:
406: 0.6.1:
407: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
408: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
409: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
410:
411: 0.6:
412: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
413: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
414: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
415: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
416: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
417: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
418: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
419: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
420: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
421: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
422: simplify the sources greatly.
423: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
424: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
425: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
426: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
427: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
428:
429: 0.5.12:
430: printf also does signed numbers.
431: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
432: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
433: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
434: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
435: return the number of bytes it would have written.
436: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
437: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
438: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
439: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
440: tell me!
441:
442: 0.5.11:
443: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
444: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
445: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
446: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
447: 2864 bytes on sparc
448: 2488 bytes on intel
449: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
450: to make a few more applications work.
451: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
452: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
453: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
454: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
455: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
456: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
457:
458: 0.5.10:
459: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
460: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
461: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
462: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
463: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
464: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
465: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
466: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
467: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
468: system call!)
469:
470: 0.5.9:
471: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
472: fixed strdup
473: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
474: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
475: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
476: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
477: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
478: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
479: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
480: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
481: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
482: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
483: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
484: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
485: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
486: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
487: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
488: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
489: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
490: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
491:
492: 0.5.8:
493: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
494:
495: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
496: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
497: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
498: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
499:
500: added execvp, getcwd
501:
502: fixed __xmknod
503:
504: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
505: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
506: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
507: not follow symlinks.
508:
509: 0.5.7:
510: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
511:
512: 0.5.6:
513: ported to ppc-linux.
514: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
515: included sigjmp.c
516:
517: 0.5.5:
518: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
519: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
520: I fixed it now.
521: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
522: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
523:
524: 0.5.4:
525: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
526: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
527:
528: 0.5.3:
529: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
530:
531: 0.5.2:
532: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
533: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
534: added localtime from uC-libc.
535:
536: 0.5.1:
537: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
538: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
539: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
540: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
541: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
542: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
543: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
544:
545: 0.5:
546: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
547: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
548: split each system call into a separate object file
549: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
550:
551: 0.4.1:
552: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
553:
554: 0.4:
555: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
556: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
557:
558: 0.3:
559: remove readdir system call
560: added getdents system call
561: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
562: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
