47: move __dietlibc__ #define from features.h to diet
1.267 fefe 48: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
49: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 50: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
51: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
52: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 53: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 54: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
55: libcompat
1.271 fefe 56: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 57: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 58: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 59: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 60: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
61: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
62: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 63: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 64: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 65: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
66: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 67:
1.244 fefe 68: 0.16:
69: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 70: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
71: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 72: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
73: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 74: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
75: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
76: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
77: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 78: remove a few warnings
79: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 80: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
81: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 82: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 83: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 84: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
85: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 86: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
87: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 88: add getdelim and getline
89: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 90: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 91: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 92: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 93: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 94: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav

1.244 fefe 99:
1.224 fefe 100: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 101: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 102: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 103: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
104: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 105: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
106: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 107: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
108: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
109: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
110: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
111: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
112: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 113: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
114: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
115: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
116: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
117: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 118: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 119: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
120: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
121: does it correctly.
122: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
123: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
124: buffer.
125: strftime updates.
126: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
127: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 128: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 129: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
130: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 131: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 132: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
133: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 134: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
135: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 136: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 137: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
138: on ARM.
139: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 140: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
141: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 142: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 143: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 144: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 145: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
146: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
147: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
148: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
149: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
150: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 151:
1.209 fefe 152: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 153: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 154: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
155: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 156: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
157: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 158: made the fake locale more believable.
159: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 160: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 161: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
162: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
163: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
164: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
165: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
166: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
167: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 168: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 169: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 170: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
171: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 172: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
173: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 174: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
175: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 176: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 177: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
178: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
179: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 180: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 181: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
182: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
183: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 184: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 185:
1.193 fefe 186: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 187: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 188: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 189: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 190: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 191: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 192: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 193: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 194: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 195: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 196: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 197: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 198: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
199: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
200: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
201: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 202: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 203: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
204: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 205: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 206: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 207: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 208:
1.164 fefe 209: 0.12:
210: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 211: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 212: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 213: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
214: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 215: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 216: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 217: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 218: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 219: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 220: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 221: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 222: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 223: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 224: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 225: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
226: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
227: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 228: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 229: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 230: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
231: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 232: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
233: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
234: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
235: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
236: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
237: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
238: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 239: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 240: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
241: do the same for getgrent and getspent
242: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 243: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 244: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 245: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 246: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
247: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
248: room ;)
1.188 fefe 249: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
250: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
251: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 252: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
253: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 254: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
255: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
256: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 257: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 258: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 259:
1.115 fefe 260: 0.11:
261: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 262: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 263: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
264: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 265: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
266: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
267: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
268: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 269: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 270: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
271: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
272: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 273: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
274: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
275: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 276: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
277: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 278: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 279: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 280: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 281: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 282: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 283: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
284: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
285: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 286: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
287: warning.
1.131 fefe 288: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 289: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 290: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
291: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
292: too)
1.134 fefe 293: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
294: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 295: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
296: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 297: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 298: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 299: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
300: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 301: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 302: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 303: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
304: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
305: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
306: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
307: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
308: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
309: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
310: behavior.
311: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
312: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 313: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
314: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 315: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
316: same problem.
317: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
318: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 319: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
320: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 321: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 322: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 323: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
324: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 325: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
326: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 327: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 328: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 329: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 330: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 331: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 332: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
333: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 334: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
335: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 336: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 337: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 338: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
339: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 340: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
341: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 342: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
343: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
344: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 345:
1.74 fefe 346: 0.10:
347: update getpagesize.
348: add personality.
1.75 fefe 349: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 350: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
351: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 352: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 353: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 354: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
355: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 356: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 357: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 358: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
359: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
360: heroic act of self-mutilation.
361: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 362: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
363: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
364: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 365: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 366: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 367: add res_init.
368: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 369: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 370: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
371: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 372: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 373: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 374: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 375: add setenv.
376: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
377: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
378: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
379: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
380: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 381: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
382: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 383: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 384: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 385: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
386: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 387: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
388: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 389: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
390: bytes, not the buffer)
391: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 392: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 393: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
394: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 395: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
396: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 397: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 398: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 399: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 400: add killpg
1.110 fefe 401: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
402: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 403: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 404: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 405: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
406: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 407: add getserv*.
408: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
409: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 410:
1.73 fefe 411: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 412: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 413: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
414: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 415: add fnmatch
416: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 417: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 418: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
419: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
420: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 421: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 422: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 423: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 424:
1.64 fefe 425: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 426: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
427: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 428: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 429: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 430: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 431: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 432: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 433: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
434: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 435: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
436: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
437: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
438: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 439: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
440: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
441: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 442: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 443: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
444: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 445: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 446: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 447: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 448: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
449: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 450: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 451: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
452: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 453: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 454: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 455: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
456: everbody knows what to do with it...
457: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 458: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 459: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
460: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 461: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 462: added nice
463: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
464: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
465: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 466: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 467: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 468: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 469: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
470: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 471: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 472:
1.21 fefe 473: 0.7.2:
474: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
475: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 476: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
477: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
478: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
479: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
480: and daemon() ;-)
481: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
482: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
483: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 484: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 485: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
486: limits.h instead)
487: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
488: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 489: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
490: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 491: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 492: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
493: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 494: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 495: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 496: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 497: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 498: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 499:
1.9 fefe 500: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 501: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
502: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
503: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 504: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 505: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 506: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
507: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 508: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 509: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 510: added isupper and islower.
511: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 512: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
513: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 514: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 515: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 516: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
517: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 518:
519: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 520: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 521: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
522: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
523: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
524: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 525: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
526: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 527: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
528: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
529: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 530: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 531: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
532: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
533: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 534: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 535:
536: 0.6.14:
537: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
538: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
539: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
540: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
541: supported).
542: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
543: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
544:
545: 0.6.13:
546: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
547: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
548: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
549: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
550: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
551: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
552: this!
553: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
554: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
555:
556: 0.6.12:
557: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
558: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
559:
560: 0.6.11:
561: added putenv.
562:
563: 0.6.10:
564: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
565: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
566: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
567: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
568:
569: 0.6.9:
570: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
571: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
572: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
573: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
574: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
575: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
576:
577: 0.6.8:
578: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
579: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
580: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
581: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
582: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
583: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
584: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
585: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
586: the unrolling.
587: added sendfile.
588: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
589: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
590: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
591: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
592: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
593:
594: 0.6.7:
595: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
596: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
597: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
598: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
599: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
600: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
601: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
602: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
603: dietlibc headers.
604:
605: 0.6.6:
606: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
607: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
608: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
609: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
610: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
611: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
612: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
613: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
614: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
615: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
616: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
617: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
618:
619: 0.6.5:
620: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
621: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
622: functions.
623: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
624: several bugs.
625: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
626: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
627:
628: 0.6.4:
629: declared is* static inline in getservent.
630: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
631: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
632: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
633: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
634: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
635: of the box.
636: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
637: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
638: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
639: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
640: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
641: applications.
642: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
643: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
644: very often and are substantially faster.
645: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
646: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
647: proton (thanks, anyway).
648: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
649: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
650:
651: 0.6.3:
652: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
653: added isblank
654: added atol
655:
656: 0.6.2:
657: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
658:
659: 0.6.1:
660: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
661: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
662: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
663:
664: 0.6:
665: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
666: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
667: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
668: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
669: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
670: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
671: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
672: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
673: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
674: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
675: simplify the sources greatly.
676: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
677: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
678: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
679: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
680: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
681:
682: 0.5.12:
683: printf also does signed numbers.
684: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
685: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
686: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
687: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
688: return the number of bytes it would have written.
689: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
690: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
691: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
692: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
693: tell me!
694:
695: 0.5.11:
696: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
697: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
698: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
699: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
700: 2864 bytes on sparc
701: 2488 bytes on intel
702: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
703: to make a few more applications work.
704: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
705: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
706: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
707: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
708: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
709: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
710:
711: 0.5.10:
712: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
713: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
714: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
715: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
716: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
717: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
718: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
719: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
720: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
721: system call!)
722:
723: 0.5.9:
724: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
725: fixed strdup
726: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
727: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
728: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
729: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
730: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
731: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
732: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
733: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
734: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
735: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
736: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
737: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
738: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
739: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
740: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
741: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
742: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
743: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
744:
745: 0.5.8:
746: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
747:
748: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
749: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
750: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
751: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
752:
753: added execvp, getcwd
754:
755: fixed __xmknod
756:
757: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
758: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
759: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
760: not follow symlinks.
761:
762: 0.5.7:
763: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
764:
765: 0.5.6:
766: ported to ppc-linux.
767: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
768: included sigjmp.c
769:
770: 0.5.5:
771: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
772: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
773: I fixed it now.
774: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
775: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
776:
777: 0.5.4:
778: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
779: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
780:
781: 0.5.3:
782: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
783:
784: 0.5.2:
785: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
786: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
787: added localtime from uC-libc.
788:
789: 0.5.1:
790: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
791: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
792: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
793: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
794: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
795: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
796: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
797:
798: 0.5:
799: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
800: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
801: split each system call into a separate object file
802: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
803:
804: 0.4.1:
805: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
806:
807: 0.4:
808: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
809: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
810:
811: 0.3:
812: remove readdir system call
813: added getdents system call
814: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
815: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
