5: there?)
1.284 fefe 6: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 7: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
8: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
9: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
10: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 11: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work
12: yet, but it's a start.

29: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 30: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
31: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
32: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 33: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 34: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
35: libcompat
1.271 fefe 36: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 37: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 38: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 39: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 40: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
41: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
42: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 43: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 44: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 45: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
46: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 47:
1.244 fefe 48: 0.16:
49: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 50: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
51: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 52: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
53: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 54: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
55: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
56: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
57: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 58: remove a few warnings
59: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 60: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
61: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 62: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 63: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 64: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
65: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 66: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
67: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 68: add getdelim and getline
69: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 70: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 71: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 72: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 73: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 74: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav

1.261 fefe 76: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 77: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 78: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 79:
1.224 fefe 80: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 81: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 82: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 83: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
84: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 85: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
86: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 87: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
88: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
89: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
90: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
91: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
92: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 93: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
94: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
95: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
96: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
97: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 98: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 99: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
100: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
101: does it correctly.
102: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
103: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
104: buffer.
105: strftime updates.
106: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
107: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 108: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 109: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
110: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 111: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 112: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
113: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 114: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
115: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 116: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 117: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
118: on ARM.
119: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 120: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
121: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 122: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 123: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 124: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 125: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
126: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
127: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
128: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
129: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
130: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 131:
1.209 fefe 132: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 133: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 134: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
135: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 136: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
137: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 138: made the fake locale more believable.
139: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 140: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 141: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
142: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
143: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
144: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
145: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
146: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
147: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 148: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 149: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 150: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
151: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 152: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
153: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 154: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
155: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 156: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 157: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
158: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
159: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 160: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 161: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
162: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
163: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 164: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 165:
1.193 fefe 166: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 167: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 168: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 169: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 170: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 171: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 172: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 173: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 174: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 175: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 176: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 177: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 178: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
179: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
180: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
181: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 182: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 183: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
184: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 185: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 186: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 187: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 188:
1.164 fefe 189: 0.12:
190: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 191: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 192: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 193: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
194: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 195: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 196: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 197: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 198: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 199: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 200: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 201: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 202: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 203: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 204: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 205: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
206: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
207: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 208: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 209: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 210: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
211: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 212: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
213: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
214: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
215: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
216: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
217: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
218: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 219: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 220: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
221: do the same for getgrent and getspent
222: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 223: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 224: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 225: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 226: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
227: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
228: room ;)
1.188 fefe 229: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
230: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
231: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 232: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
233: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 234: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
235: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
236: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 237: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 238: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 239:
1.115 fefe 240: 0.11:
241: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 242: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 243: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
244: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 245: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
246: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
247: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
248: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 249: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 250: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
251: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
252: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 253: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
254: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
255: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 256: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
257: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 258: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 259: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 260: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 261: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 262: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 263: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
264: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
265: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 266: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
267: warning.
1.131 fefe 268: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 269: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 270: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
271: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
272: too)
1.134 fefe 273: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
274: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 275: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
276: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 277: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 278: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 279: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
280: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 281: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 282: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 283: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
284: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
285: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
286: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
287: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
288: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
289: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
290: behavior.
291: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
292: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 293: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
294: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 295: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
296: same problem.
297: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
298: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 299: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
300: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 301: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 302: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 303: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
304: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 305: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
306: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 307: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 308: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 309: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 310: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 311: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 312: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
313: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 314: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
315: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 316: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 317: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 318: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
319: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 320: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
321: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 322: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
323: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
324: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 325:
1.74 fefe 326: 0.10:
327: update getpagesize.
328: add personality.
1.75 fefe 329: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 330: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
331: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 332: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 333: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 334: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
335: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 336: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 337: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 338: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
339: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
340: heroic act of self-mutilation.
341: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 342: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
343: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
344: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 345: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 346: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 347: add res_init.
348: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 349: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 350: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
351: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 352: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 353: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 354: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 355: add setenv.
356: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
357: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
358: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
359: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
360: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 361: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
362: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 363: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 364: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 365: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
366: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 367: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
368: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 369: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
370: bytes, not the buffer)
371: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 372: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 373: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
374: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 375: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
376: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 377: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 378: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 379: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 380: add killpg
1.110 fefe 381: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
382: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 383: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 384: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 385: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
386: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 387: add getserv*.
388: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
389: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 390:
1.73 fefe 391: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 392: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 393: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
394: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 395: add fnmatch
396: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 397: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 398: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
399: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
400: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 401: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 402: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 403: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 404:
1.64 fefe 405: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 406: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
407: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 408: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 409: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 410: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 411: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 412: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 413: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
414: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 415: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
416: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
417: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
418: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 419: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
420: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
421: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 422: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 423: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
424: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 425: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 426: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 427: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 428: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
429: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 430: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 431: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
432: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 433: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 434: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 435: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
436: everbody knows what to do with it...
437: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 438: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 439: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
440: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 441: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 442: added nice
443: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
444: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
445: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 446: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 447: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 448: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 449: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
450: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 451: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 452:
1.21 fefe 453: 0.7.2:
454: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
455: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 456: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
457: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
458: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
459: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
460: and daemon() ;-)
461: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
462: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
463: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 464: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 465: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
466: limits.h instead)
467: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
468: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 469: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
470: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 471: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 472: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
473: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 474: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 475: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 476: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 477: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 478: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 479:
1.9 fefe 480: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 481: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
482: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
483: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 484: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 485: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 486: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
487: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 488: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 489: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 490: added isupper and islower.
491: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 492: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
493: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 494: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 495: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 496: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
497: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 498:
499: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 500: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 501: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
502: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
503: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
504: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 505: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
506: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 507: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
508: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
509: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 510: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 511: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
512: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
513: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 514: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 515:
516: 0.6.14:
517: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
518: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
519: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
520: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
521: supported).
522: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
523: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
524:
525: 0.6.13:
526: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
527: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
528: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
529: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
530: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
531: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
532: this!
533: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
534: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
535:
536: 0.6.12:
537: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
538: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
539:
540: 0.6.11:
541: added putenv.
542:
543: 0.6.10:
544: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
545: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
546: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
547: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
548:
549: 0.6.9:
550: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
551: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
552: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
553: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
554: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
555: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
556:
557: 0.6.8:
558: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
559: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
560: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
561: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
562: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
563: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
564: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
565: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
566: the unrolling.
567: added sendfile.
568: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
569: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
570: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
571: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
572: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
573:
574: 0.6.7:
575: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
576: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
577: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
578: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
579: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
580: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
581: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
582: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
583: dietlibc headers.
584:
585: 0.6.6:
586: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
587: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
588: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
589: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
590: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
591: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
592: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
593: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
594: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
595: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
596: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
597: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
598:
599: 0.6.5:
600: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
601: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
602: functions.
603: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
604: several bugs.
605: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
606: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
607:
608: 0.6.4:
609: declared is* static inline in getservent.
610: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
611: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
612: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
613: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
614: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
615: of the box.
616: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
617: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
618: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
619: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
620: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
621: applications.
622: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
623: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
624: very often and are substantially faster.
625: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
626: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
627: proton (thanks, anyway).
628: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
629: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
630:
631: 0.6.3:
632: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
633: added isblank
634: added atol
635:
636: 0.6.2:
637: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
638:
639: 0.6.1:
640: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
641: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
642: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
643:
644: 0.6:
645: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
646: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
647: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
648: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
649: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
650: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
651: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
652: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
653: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
654: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
655: simplify the sources greatly.
656: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
657: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
658: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
659: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
660: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
661:
662: 0.5.12:
663: printf also does signed numbers.
664: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
665: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
666: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
667: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
668: return the number of bytes it would have written.
669: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
670: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
671: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
672: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
673: tell me!
674:
675: 0.5.11:
676: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
677: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
678: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
679: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
680: 2864 bytes on sparc
681: 2488 bytes on intel
682: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
683: to make a few more applications work.
684: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
685: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
686: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
687: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
688: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
689: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
690:
691: 0.5.10:
692: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
693: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
694: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
695: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
696: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
697: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
698: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
699: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
700: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
701: system call!)
702:
703: 0.5.9:
704: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
705: fixed strdup
706: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
707: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
708: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
709: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
710: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
711: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
712: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
713: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
714: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
715: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
716: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
717: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
718: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
719: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
720: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
721: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
722: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
723: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
724:
725: 0.5.8:
726: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
727:
728: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
729: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
730: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
731: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
732:
733: added execvp, getcwd
734:
735: fixed __xmknod
736:
737: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
738: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
739: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
740: not follow symlinks.
741:
742: 0.5.7:
743: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
744:
745: 0.5.6:
746: ported to ppc-linux.
747: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
748: included sigjmp.c
749:
750: 0.5.5:
751: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
752: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
753: I fixed it now.
754: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
755: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
756:
757: 0.5.4:
