Annotation of dietlibc/CHANGES, revision 1.223
1.209 fefe 1: 0.14:
1.210 fefe 2: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
3: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 4: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
5: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 6: made the fake locale more believable.
7: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 8: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 9: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
10: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
11: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
12: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
13: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
14: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
15: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 16: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 17: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 18: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
19: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 20: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
21: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 22: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
23: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 24: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 25: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
26: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
27: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 28: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 29: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
30: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
31: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 ! fefe 32: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 33:
1.193 fefe 34: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 35: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 36: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 37: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 38: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 39: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 40: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 41: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 42: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 43: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 44: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 45: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 46: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
47: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
48: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
49: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 50: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 51: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
52: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 53: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 54: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 55: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 56:
1.164 fefe 57: 0.12:
58: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 59: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 60: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 61: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
62: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 63: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 64: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 65: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 66: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 67: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 68: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 69: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 70: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 71: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 72: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 73: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
74: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
75: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 76: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 77: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 78: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
79: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 80: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
81: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
82: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
83: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
84: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
85: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
86: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 87: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 88: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
89: do the same for getgrent and getspent
90: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 91: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 92: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 93: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 94: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
95: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
96: room ;)
1.188 fefe 97: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
98: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
99: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 100: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
101: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 102: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
103: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
104: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 105: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 106: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 107:
1.115 fefe 108: 0.11:
109: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 110: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 111: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
112: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 113: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
114: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
115: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
116: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 117: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 118: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
119: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
120: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 121: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
122: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
123: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 124: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
125: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 126: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 127: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 128: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 129: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 130: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 131: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
132: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
133: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 134: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
135: warning.
1.131 fefe 136: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 137: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 138: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
139: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
140: too)
1.134 fefe 141: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
142: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 143: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
144: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 145: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 146: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 147: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
148: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 149: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 150: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 151: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
152: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
153: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
154: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
155: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
156: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
157: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
158: behavior.
159: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
160: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 161: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
162: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 163: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
164: same problem.
165: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
166: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 167: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
168: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 169: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 170: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 171: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
172: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 173: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
174: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 175: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 176: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 177: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 178: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 179: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 180: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
181: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 182: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
183: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 184: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 185: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 186: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
187: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 188: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
189: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 190: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
191: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
192: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 193:
1.74 fefe 194: 0.10:
195: update getpagesize.
196: add personality.
1.75 fefe 197: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 198: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
199: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 200: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 201: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 202: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
203: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 204: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 205: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 206: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
207: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
208: heroic act of self-mutilation.
209: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 210: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
211: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
212: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 213: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 214: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 215: add res_init.
216: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 217: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 218: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
219: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 220: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 221: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 222: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 223: add setenv.
224: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
225: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
226: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
227: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
228: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 229: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
230: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 231: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 232: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 233: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
234: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 235: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
236: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 237: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
238: bytes, not the buffer)
239: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 240: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 241: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
242: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 243: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
244: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 245: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 246: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 247: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 248: add killpg
1.110 fefe 249: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
250: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 251: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 252: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 253: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
254: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 255: add getserv*.
256: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
257: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 258:
1.73 fefe 259: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 260: fixed initgroups (oops)

262: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 263: add fnmatch
264: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 265: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 266: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
267: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
268: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 269: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 270: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 271: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 272:
1.64 fefe 273: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 274: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
275: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 276: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 277: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 278: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 279: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 280: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 281: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
282: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 283: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
284: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
285: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
286: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 287: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
288: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
289: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 290: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 291: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
292: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 293: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 294: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 295: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 296: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
297: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 298: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 299: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
300: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 301: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 302: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 303: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
304: everbody knows what to do with it...
305: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 306: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 307: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
308: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 309: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 310: added nice
311: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
312: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
313: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 314: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 315: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 316: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 317: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
318: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 319: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 320:
1.21 fefe 321: 0.7.2:
322: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
323: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 324: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
325: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
326: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
327: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
328: and daemon() ;-)
329: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
330: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
331: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 332: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 333: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
334: limits.h instead)
335: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
336: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 337: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
338: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 339: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 340: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
341: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 342: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 343: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 344: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 345: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 346: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 347:
1.9 fefe 348: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 349: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
350: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
351: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 352: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 353: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 354: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
355: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 356: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 357: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 358: added isupper and islower.
359: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 360: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
361: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 362: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 363: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 364: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
365: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 366:
367: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 368: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 369: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
370: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
371: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
372: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 373: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
374: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 375: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
376: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
377: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 378: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 379: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
380: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
381: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 382: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 383:
384: 0.6.14:
385: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
386: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
387: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
388: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
389: supported).
390: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
391: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
392:
393: 0.6.13:
394: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
395: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
396: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
397: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
398: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
399: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
400: this!
401: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
402: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
403:
404: 0.6.12:
405: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
406: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
407:
408: 0.6.11:
409: added putenv.
410:
411: 0.6.10:
412: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
413: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
414: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
415: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
416:
417: 0.6.9:
418: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
419: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
420: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
421: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
422: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
423: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
424:
425: 0.6.8:
426: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
427: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
428: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
429: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
430: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
431: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
432: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
433: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
434: the unrolling.
435: added sendfile.
436: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
437: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
438: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
439: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
440: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
441:
442: 0.6.7:
443: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
444: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
445: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
446: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
447: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
448: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
449: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
450: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
451: dietlibc headers.
452:
453: 0.6.6:
454: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
455: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
456: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
457: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
458: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
459: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
460: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
461: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
462: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
463: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
464: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
465: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
466:
467: 0.6.5:
468: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
469: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
470: functions.
471: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
472: several bugs.
473: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
474: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
475:
476: 0.6.4:
477: declared is* static inline in getservent.
478: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
479: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
480: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
481: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
482: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
483: of the box.
484: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
485: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
486: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
487: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
488: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
489: applications.
490: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
491: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
492: very often and are substantially faster.
493: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
494: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
495: proton (thanks, anyway).
496: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
497: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
498:
499: 0.6.3:
500: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
501: added isblank
502: added atol
503:
504: 0.6.2:
505: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
506:
507: 0.6.1:
508: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
509: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
510: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
511:
512: 0.6:
513: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
514: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
515: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
516: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
517: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
518: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
519: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
520: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
521: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
522: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
523: simplify the sources greatly.
524: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
525: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
526: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
527: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
528: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
529:
530: 0.5.12:
531: printf also does signed numbers.
532: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
533: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
534: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
535: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
536: return the number of bytes it would have written.
537: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
538: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
539: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
540: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
541: tell me!
542:
543: 0.5.11:
544: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
545: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
546: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
547: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
548: 2864 bytes on sparc
549: 2488 bytes on intel
550: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
551: to make a few more applications work.
552: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
553: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
554: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
555: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
556: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
557: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
558:
559: 0.5.10:
560: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
561: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
562: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
563: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
564: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
565: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
566: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
567: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
568: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
569: system call!)
570:
571: 0.5.9:
572: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
573: fixed strdup
574: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
575: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
576: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
577: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
578: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
579: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
580: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
581: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
582: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
583: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
584: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
585: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
586: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
587: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
588: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
589: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
590: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
591: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
592:
593: 0.5.8:
594: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
595:
596: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
597: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
598: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
599: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
600:
601: added execvp, getcwd
602:
603: fixed __xmknod
604:
605: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
606: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
607: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
608: not follow symlinks.
609:
610: 0.5.7:
611: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
612:
613: 0.5.6:
614: ported to ppc-linux.
615: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
616: included sigjmp.c
617:
618: 0.5.5:
619: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
620: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
621: I fixed it now.
622: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
623: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
624:
625: 0.5.4:
626: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
627: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
628:
629: 0.5.3:
630: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
631:
632: 0.5.2:
633: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
634: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
635: added localtime from uC-libc.
636:
637: 0.5.1:
638: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
639: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
640: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
641: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
642: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
643: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
644: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
645:
646: 0.5:
647: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
648: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
649: split each system call into a separate object file
650: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
651:
652: 0.4.1:
653: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
654:
655: 0.4:
656: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
657: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
658:
659: 0.3:
660: remove readdir system call
661: added getdents system call
662: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
663: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
664:
