1.165 fefe 3: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 4: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 5: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
6: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 7: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 8: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 9: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 10: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 11: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 12: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 13: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 14: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 15: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 16: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 17: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
18: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
19: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 20: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 ! fefe 21: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.164 fefe 22:
1.115 fefe 23: 0.11:
24: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 25: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 26: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
27: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 28: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
29: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
30: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
31: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 32: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 33: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
34: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
35: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 36: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
37: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
38: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 39: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
40: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 41: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 42: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 43: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 44: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 45: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 46: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
47: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
48: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 49: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
50: warning.
1.131 fefe 51: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 52: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 53: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
54: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
55: too)
1.134 fefe 56: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
57: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 58: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
59: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 60: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 61: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 62: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
63: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 64: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 65: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 66: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
67: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
68: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
69: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
70: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
71: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
72: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
73: behavior.
74: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
75: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 76: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
77: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 78: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
79: same problem.
80: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
81: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 82: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
83: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 84: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 85: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 86: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
87: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 88: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
89: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 90: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 91: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 92: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 93: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 94: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 95: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
96: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 97: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
98: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 99: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 100: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 101: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
102: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 103: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
104: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 105: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
106: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
107: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 108:
1.74 fefe 109: 0.10:
110: update getpagesize.
111: add personality.
1.75 fefe 112: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 113: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
114: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 115: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 116: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 117: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
118: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 119: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 120: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 121: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
122: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
123: heroic act of self-mutilation.
124: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 125: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
126: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
127: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 128: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 129: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 130: add res_init.
131: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 132: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 133: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
134: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.

140: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
141: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
142: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
143: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 144: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
145: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 146: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 147: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 148: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
149: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 150: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
151: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 152: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
153: bytes, not the buffer)
154: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 155: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 156: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
157: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 158: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
159: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 160: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 161: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 162: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 163: add killpg
1.110 fefe 164: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
165: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 166: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 167: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 168: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
169: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 170: add getserv*.
171: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
172: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 173:
1.73 fefe 174: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 175: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 176: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
177: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 178: add fnmatch
179: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 180: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 181: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
182: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
183: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 184: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 185: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 186: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 187:
1.64 fefe 188: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 189: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
190: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 191: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 192: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 193: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 194: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 195: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 196: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
197: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 198: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
199: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
200: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
201: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 202: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
203: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
204: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 205: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 206: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
207: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 208: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 209: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 210: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 211: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
212: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 213: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 214: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
215: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 216: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 217: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 218: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
219: everbody knows what to do with it...
220: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 221: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 222: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
223: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 224: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 225: added nice
226: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
227: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
228: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 229: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 230: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 231: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 232: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
233: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 234: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 235:
1.21 fefe 236: 0.7.2:
237: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
238: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 239: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
240: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
241: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
242: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
243: and daemon() ;-)
244: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
245: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
246: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 247: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 248: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
249: limits.h instead)
250: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
251: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 252: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
253: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 254: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 255: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
256: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 257: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 258: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 259: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 260: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 261: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 262:
1.9 fefe 263: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 264: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
265: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
266: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 267: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 268: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 269: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
270: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 271: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 272: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 273: added isupper and islower.
274: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 275: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
276: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 277: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 278: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 279: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
280: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 281:
282: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 283: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 284: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
285: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
286: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
287: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 288: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
289: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 290: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
291: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
292: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 293: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 294: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
295: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
296: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 297: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 298:
299: 0.6.14:
300: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
301: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
302: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
303: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
304: supported).
305: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
306: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
307:
308: 0.6.13:
309: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
310: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
311: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
312: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
313: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
314: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
315: this!
316: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
317: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
318:
319: 0.6.12:
320: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
321: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
322:
323: 0.6.11:
324: added putenv.
325:
326: 0.6.10:
327: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
328: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
329: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
330: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
331:
332: 0.6.9:
333: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
334: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
335: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
336: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
337: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
338: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
339:
340: 0.6.8:
341: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
342: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
343: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
344: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
345: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
346: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
347: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
348: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
349: the unrolling.
350: added sendfile.
351: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
352: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
353: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
354: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
355: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
356:
357: 0.6.7:
358: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
359: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
360: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
361: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
362: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
363: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
364: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
365: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
366: dietlibc headers.
367:
368: 0.6.6:
369: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
370: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
371: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
372: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
373: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
374: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
375: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
376: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
377: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
378: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
379: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
380: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
381:
382: 0.6.5:
383: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
384: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
385: functions.
386: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
387: several bugs.
388: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
389: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
390:
391: 0.6.4:
392: declared is* static inline in getservent.
393: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
394: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
395: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
396: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
397: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
398: of the box.
399: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
400: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
401: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
402: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
403: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
404: applications.
405: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
406: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
407: very often and are substantially faster.
408: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
409: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
410: proton (thanks, anyway).
411: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
412: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
413:
414: 0.6.3:
415: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
416: added isblank
417: added atol
418:
419: 0.6.2:
420: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
421:
422: 0.6.1:
423: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
424: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
425: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
426:
427: 0.6:
428: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
429: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
430: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
431: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
432: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
433: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
434: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
435: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
436: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
437: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
438: simplify the sources greatly.
439: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
440: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
441: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
442: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
443: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
444:
445: 0.5.12:
446: printf also does signed numbers.
447: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
448: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
449: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
450: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
451: return the number of bytes it would have written.
452: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
453: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
454: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
455: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
456: tell me!
457:
458: 0.5.11:
459: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
460: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
461: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
462: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
463: 2864 bytes on sparc
464: 2488 bytes on intel
465: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
466: to make a few more applications work.
467: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
468: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
469: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
470: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
471: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
472: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
473:
474: 0.5.10:
475: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
476: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
477: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
478: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
479: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
480: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
481: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
482: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
483: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
484: system call!)
485:
486: 0.5.9:
487: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
488: fixed strdup
489: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
490: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
491: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
492: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
493: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
494: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
495: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
496: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
497: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
498: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
499: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
500: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
501: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
502: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
503: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
504: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
505: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
506: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
507:
508: 0.5.8:
509: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
510:
511: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
512: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
513: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
514: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
515:
516: added execvp, getcwd
517:
518: fixed __xmknod
519:
520: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
521: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
522: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
523: not follow symlinks.
524:
525: 0.5.7:
526: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
527:
528: 0.5.6:
529: ported to ppc-linux.
530: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
531: included sigjmp.c
532:
533: 0.5.5:
534: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
535: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
536: I fixed it now.
537: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
538: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
539:
540: 0.5.4:
541: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
542: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
543:
544: 0.5.3:
545: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
546:
547: 0.5.2:
548: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
549: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
550: added localtime from uC-libc.
551:
552: 0.5.1:
553: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
554: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
555: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
556: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
557: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
558: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
559: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
560:
561: 0.5:
562: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
563: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
564: split each system call into a separate object file
565: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
566:
567: 0.4.1:
568: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
569:
570: 0.4:
571: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
572: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
573:
574: 0.3:
575: remove readdir system call
576: added getdents system call
577: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
578: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
