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

39: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 40: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
41: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
42: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 43: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 44: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
45: libcompat
1.271 fefe 46: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 47: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 48: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 49: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 50: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
51: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
52: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 53: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 54: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 55: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
56: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 57:
1.244 fefe 58: 0.16:
59: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 60: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
61: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 62: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
63: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 64: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
65: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
66: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
67: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 68: remove a few warnings
69: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 70: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
71: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 72: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 73: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 74: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
75: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 76: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
77: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 78: add getdelim and getline
79: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 80: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 81: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 82: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 83: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic

1.244 fefe 89:
1.224 fefe 90: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 91: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 92: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 93: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
94: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 95: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
96: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 97: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
98: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
99: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
100: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
101: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
102: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 103: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
104: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
105: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
106: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
107: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 108: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 109: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
110: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
111: does it correctly.
112: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
113: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
114: buffer.
115: strftime updates.
116: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
117: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 118: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 119: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
120: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 121: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 122: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
123: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 124: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
125: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 126: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 127: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
128: on ARM.
129: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 130: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
131: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 132: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 133: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 134: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 135: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
136: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
137: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
138: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
139: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
140: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 141:
1.209 fefe 142: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 143: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 144: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
145: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 146: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
147: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 148: made the fake locale more believable.
149: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 150: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 151: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
152: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
153: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
154: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
155: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
156: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
157: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 158: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 159: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 160: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
161: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 162: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
163: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 164: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
165: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 166: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 167: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
168: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
169: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 170: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 171: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
172: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
173: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 174: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 175:
1.193 fefe 176: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 177: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 178: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 179: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 180: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 181: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 182: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 183: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 184: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 185: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 186: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 187: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 188: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
189: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
190: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
191: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 192: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 193: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
194: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 195: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 196: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 197: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 198:
1.164 fefe 199: 0.12:
200: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 201: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 202: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 203: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
204: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 205: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 206: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 207: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 208: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 209: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 210: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 211: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 212: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 213: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 214: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 215: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
216: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
217: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 218: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 219: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 220: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
221: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 222: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
223: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
224: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
225: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
226: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
227: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
228: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 229: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 230: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
231: do the same for getgrent and getspent
232: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 233: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 234: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 235: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 236: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
237: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
238: room ;)
1.188 fefe 239: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
240: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
241: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 242: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
243: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 244: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
245: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
246: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 247: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 248: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 249:
1.115 fefe 250: 0.11:
251: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 252: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 253: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
254: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 255: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
256: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
257: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
258: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 259: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 260: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
261: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
262: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 263: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
264: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
265: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 266: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
267: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 268: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 269: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 270: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 271: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 272: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 273: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
274: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
275: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 276: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
277: warning.
1.131 fefe 278: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 279: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 280: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
281: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
282: too)
1.134 fefe 283: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
284: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 285: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
286: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 287: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 288: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 289: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
290: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 291: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 292: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 293: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
294: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
295: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
296: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
297: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
298: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
299: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
300: behavior.
301: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
302: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 303: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
304: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 305: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
306: same problem.
307: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
308: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 309: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
310: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 311: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 312: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 313: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
314: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 315: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
316: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 317: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 318: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 319: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 320: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 321: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 322: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
323: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 324: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
325: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 326: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 327: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 328: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
329: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 330: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
331: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 332: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
333: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
334: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 335:
1.74 fefe 336: 0.10:
337: update getpagesize.
338: add personality.
1.75 fefe 339: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 340: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
341: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 342: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 343: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 344: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
345: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 346: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 347: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 348: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
349: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
350: heroic act of self-mutilation.
351: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 352: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
353: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
354: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 355: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 356: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 357: add res_init.
358: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 359: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 360: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
361: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 362: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 363: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 364: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 365: add setenv.
366: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
367: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
368: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
369: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
370: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 371: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
372: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 373: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 374: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 375: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
376: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 377: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
378: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 379: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
380: bytes, not the buffer)
381: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 382: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 383: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
384: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 385: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
386: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 387: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 388: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 389: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 390: add killpg
1.110 fefe 391: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
392: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 393: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 394: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 395: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
396: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 397: add getserv*.
398: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
399: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 400:
1.73 fefe 401: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 402: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 403: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
404: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 405: add fnmatch
406: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 407: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 408: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
409: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
410: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 411: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 412: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 413: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 414:
1.64 fefe 415: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 416: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
417: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 418: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 419: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 420: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 421: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 422: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 423: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
424: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 425: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
426: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
427: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
428: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 429: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
430: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
431: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 432: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 433: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
434: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 435: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 436: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 437: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 438: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
439: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 440: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 441: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
442: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 443: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 444: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 445: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
446: everbody knows what to do with it...
447: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 448: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 449: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
450: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 451: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 452: added nice
453: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
454: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
455: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 456: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 457: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 458: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 459: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
460: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 461: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 462:
1.21 fefe 463: 0.7.2:
464: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
465: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 466: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
467: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
468: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
469: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
470: and daemon() ;-)
471: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
472: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
473: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 474: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 475: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
476: limits.h instead)
477: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
478: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 479: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
480: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 481: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 482: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
483: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 484: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 485: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 486: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 487: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 488: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 489:
1.9 fefe 490: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 491: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
492: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
493: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 494: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 495: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 496: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
497: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 498: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 499: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 500: added isupper and islower.
501: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 502: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
503: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 504: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 505: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 506: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
507: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 508:
509: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 510: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 511: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
512: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
513: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
514: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 515: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
516: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 517: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
518: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
519: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 520: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 521: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
522: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
523: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 524: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 525:
526: 0.6.14:
527: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
528: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
529: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
530: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
531: supported).
532: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
533: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
534:
535: 0.6.13:
536: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
537: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
538: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
539: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
540: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
541: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
542: this!
543: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
544: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
545:
546: 0.6.12:
547: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
548: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
549:
550: 0.6.11:
551: added putenv.
552:
553: 0.6.10:
554: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
555: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
556: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
557: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
558:
559: 0.6.9:
560: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
561: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
562: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
563: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
564: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
565: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
566:
567: 0.6.8:
568: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
569: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
570: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
571: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
572: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
573: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
574: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
575: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
576: the unrolling.
577: added sendfile.
578: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
579: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
580: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
581: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
582: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
583:
584: 0.6.7:
585: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
586: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
587: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
588: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
589: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
590: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
591: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
592: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
593: dietlibc headers.
594:
595: 0.6.6:
596: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
597: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
598: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
599: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
600: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
601: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
602: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
603: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
604: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
605: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
606: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
607: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
608:
609: 0.6.5:
610: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
611: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
612: functions.
613: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
614: several bugs.
615: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
616: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
617:
618: 0.6.4:
619: declared is* static inline in getservent.
620: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
621: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
622: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
623: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
624: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
625: of the box.
626: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
627: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
628: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
629: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
630: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
631: applications.
632: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
633: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
634: very often and are substantially faster.
635: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
636: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
637: proton (thanks, anyway).
638: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
639: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
640:
641: 0.6.3:
642: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
643: added isblank
644: added atol
645:
646: 0.6.2:
647: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
648:
649: 0.6.1:
650: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
651: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
652: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
653:
654: 0.6:
655: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
656: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
657: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
658: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
659: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
660: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
661: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
662: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
663: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
664: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
665: simplify the sources greatly.
666: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
667: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
668: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
669: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
670: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
671:
672: 0.5.12:
673: printf also does signed numbers.
674: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
675: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
676: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
677: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
678: return the number of bytes it would have written.
679: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
680: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
681: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
682: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
683: tell me!
684:
685: 0.5.11:
686: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
687: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
688: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
689: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
690: 2864 bytes on sparc
691: 2488 bytes on intel
692: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
693: to make a few more applications work.
694: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
695: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
696: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
697: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
698: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
699: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
700:
701: 0.5.10:
702: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
703: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
704: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
705: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
706: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
707: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
708: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
709: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
710: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
711: system call!)
712:
713: 0.5.9:
714: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
715: fixed strdup
716: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
717: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
718: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
719: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
720: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
721: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
722: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
723: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
724: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
725: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
726: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
727: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
728: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
729: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
730: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
731: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
732: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
733: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
734:
735: 0.5.8:
736: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
737:
738: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
739: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
740: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
741: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
742:
743: added execvp, getcwd
744:
745: fixed __xmknod
746:
747: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
748: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
749: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
750: not follow symlinks.
751:
752: 0.5.7:
753: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
754:
755: 0.5.6:
756: ported to ppc-linux.
757: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
758: included sigjmp.c
759:
760: 0.5.5:
761: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
762: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
763: I fixed it now.
764: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
765: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
766:
767: 0.5.4:
768: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
769: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
770:
771: 0.5.3:
772: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
773:
774: 0.5.2:

776: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
777: added localtime from uC-libc.
778:
779: 0.5.1:
780: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
781: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
782: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
783: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
784: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
785: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
786: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
787:
788: 0.5:
789: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
790: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
791: split each system call into a separate object file
792: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
793:
794: 0.4.1:

796:
797: 0.4:
798: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
799: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
