70: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 71: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
72: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
73: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 74: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 75: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
76: libcompat
1.271 fefe 77: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.275 fefe 79: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 80: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 81: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
82: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
83: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 84: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 85: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 86: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
87: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 88:
1.244 fefe 89: 0.16:
90: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 91: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
92: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 93: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
94: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 95: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
96: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
97: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
98: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 99: remove a few warnings
100: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 101: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
102: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 103: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 104: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 105: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
106: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 107: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
108: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 109: add getdelim and getline
110: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 111: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 112: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 113: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 114: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic

1.244 fefe 120:
1.224 fefe 121: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 122: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 123: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 124: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
125: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 126: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
127: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 128: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
129: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
130: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
131: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
132: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
133: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 134: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
135: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
136: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
137: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
138: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 139: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 140: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
141: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
142: does it correctly.
143: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
144: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
145: buffer.
146: strftime updates.
147: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
148: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 149: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 150: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
151: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 152: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 153: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
154: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 155: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
156: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 157: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 158: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
159: on ARM.
160: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 161: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
162: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 163: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 164: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 165: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 166: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
167: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
168: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
169: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
170: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
171: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 172:
1.209 fefe 173: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 174: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 175: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
176: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 177: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
178: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 179: made the fake locale more believable.
180: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 181: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 182: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
183: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
184: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
185: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
186: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
187: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
188: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 189: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 190: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 191: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
192: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 193: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
194: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 195: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
196: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 197: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 198: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
199: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
200: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 201: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 202: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
203: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
204: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 205: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 206:
1.193 fefe 207: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 208: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 209: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 210: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 211: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 212: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 213: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 214: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 215: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 216: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 217: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 218: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 219: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
220: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
221: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
222: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 223: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 224: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
225: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 226: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 227: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 228: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 229:
1.164 fefe 230: 0.12:
231: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 232: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 233: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 234: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
235: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 236: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 237: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 238: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 239: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 240: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 241: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 242: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 243: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 244: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 245: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 246: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
247: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
248: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 249: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 250: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 251: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
252: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 253: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
254: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
255: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
256: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
257: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
258: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
259: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 260: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 261: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
262: do the same for getgrent and getspent
263: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 264: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 265: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 266: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 267: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
268: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
269: room ;)
1.188 fefe 270: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
271: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
272: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 273: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
274: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 275: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
276: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
277: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 278: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 279: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 280:
1.115 fefe 281: 0.11:
282: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 283: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 284: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
285: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 286: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
287: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
288: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
289: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 290: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 291: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
292: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
293: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 294: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
295: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
296: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 297: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
298: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 299: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 300: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 301: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 302: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 303: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 304: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
305: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
306: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 307: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
308: warning.
1.131 fefe 309: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 310: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 311: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
312: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
313: too)
1.134 fefe 314: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
315: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 316: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
317: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 318: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 319: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 320: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
321: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 322: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 323: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 324: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
325: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
326: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
327: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
328: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
329: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
330: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
331: behavior.
332: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
333: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 334: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
335: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 336: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
337: same problem.
338: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
339: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 340: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
341: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.

1.148 fefe 343: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 344: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
345: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 346: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
347: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 348: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 349: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 350: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 351: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 352: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 353: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
354: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 355: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
356: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 357: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 358: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 359: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
360: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 361: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
362: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 363: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
364: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
365: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 366:
1.74 fefe 367: 0.10:
368: update getpagesize.
369: add personality.
1.75 fefe 370: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 371: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
372: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 373: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 374: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 375: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
376: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 377: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 378: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 379: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
380: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
381: heroic act of self-mutilation.
382: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 383: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
384: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
385: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 386: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 387: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 388: add res_init.
389: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 390: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 391: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
392: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 393: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 394: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 395: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 396: add setenv.
397: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
398: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
399: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
400: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
401: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 402: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
403: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 404: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 405: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 406: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
407: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 408: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
409: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 410: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
411: bytes, not the buffer)
412: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 413: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 414: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
415: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 416: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
417: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 418: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 419: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 420: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 421: add killpg
1.110 fefe 422: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
423: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 424: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 425: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 426: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
427: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 428: add getserv*.
429: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
430: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 431:
1.73 fefe 432: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 433: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 434: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
435: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 436: add fnmatch
437: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 438: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 439: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
440: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
441: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 442: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 443: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 444: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 445:
1.64 fefe 446: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 447: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
448: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 449: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 450: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 451: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 452: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 453: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 454: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
455: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 456: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
457: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
458: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
459: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 460: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
461: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
462: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 463: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 464: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
465: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 466: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 467: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 468: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 469: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
470: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 471: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 472: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
473: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 474: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 475: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 476: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
477: everbody knows what to do with it...
478: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 479: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 480: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
481: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 482: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 483: added nice
484: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
485: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
486: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 487: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 488: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 489: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 490: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
491: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 492: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 493:
1.21 fefe 494: 0.7.2:
495: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
496: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 497: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
498: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
499: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
500: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
501: and daemon() ;-)
502: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
503: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
504: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 505: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 506: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
507: limits.h instead)
508: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
509: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 510: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
511: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 512: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 513: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
514: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 515: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 516: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 517: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 518: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 519: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 520:
1.9 fefe 521: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 522: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
523: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
524: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 525: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 526: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 527: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
528: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 529: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 530: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 531: added isupper and islower.
532: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 533: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
534: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 535: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 536: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 537: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
538: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 539:
540: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 541: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 542: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
543: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
544: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
545: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 546: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
547: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 548: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
549: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
550: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 551: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 552: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
553: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
554: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 555: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 556:
557: 0.6.14:
558: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
559: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
560: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
561: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
562: supported).
563: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
564: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
565:
566: 0.6.13:
567: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
568: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
569: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
570: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
571: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
572: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
573: this!
574: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
575: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
576:
577: 0.6.12:
578: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
579: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
580:
581: 0.6.11:
582: added putenv.
583:
584: 0.6.10:
585: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
586: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
587: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
588: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
589:
590: 0.6.9:
591: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
592: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
593: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
594: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
595: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
596: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
597:
598: 0.6.8:
599: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
600: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
601: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
602: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
603: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
604: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
605: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
606: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
607: the unrolling.
608: added sendfile.
609: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
610: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
611: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
612: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
613: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
614:
615: 0.6.7:
616: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
617: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
618: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
619: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
620: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
621: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
622: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
623: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
624: dietlibc headers.
625:
626: 0.6.6:
627: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
628: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
629: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
630: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
631: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
632: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
633: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
634: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
635: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
636: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
637: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
638: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
639:
640: 0.6.5:
641: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
642: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
643: functions.
644: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
645: several bugs.
646: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
647: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
648:
649: 0.6.4:
650: declared is* static inline in getservent.
651: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
652: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
653: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
654: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
655: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
656: of the box.
657: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
658: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
659: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
660: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
661: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
662: applications.
663: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
664: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
665: very often and are substantially faster.
666: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
667: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
668: proton (thanks, anyway).
669: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
670: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
671:
672: 0.6.3:
673: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
674: added isblank
675: added atol
676:
677: 0.6.2:
678: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
679:
680: 0.6.1:
681: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
682: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
683: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
684:
685: 0.6:
686: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
687: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
688: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
689: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
690: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
691: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
692: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
693: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
694: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
695: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
696: simplify the sources greatly.
697: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
698: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
699: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
700: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
701: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
702:
703: 0.5.12:
704: printf also does signed numbers.
705: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
706: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
707: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
708: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
709: return the number of bytes it would have written.
710: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
711: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
712: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
713: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
714: tell me!
715:
716: 0.5.11:
717: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
718: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
719: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
720: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
721: 2864 bytes on sparc
722: 2488 bytes on intel
723: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
724: to make a few more applications work.
725: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
726: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
727: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
728: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
729: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
730: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
731:
732: 0.5.10:
733: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
734: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
735: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
736: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
737: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
738: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
739: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
740: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
741: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
742: system call!)
743:
744: 0.5.9:
745: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
746: fixed strdup
747: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
748: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
749: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
750: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
751: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
752: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
753: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
754: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
755: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
756: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
757: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
758: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
759: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
760: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
761: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
762: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
763: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
764: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
765:
766: 0.5.8:
767: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
768:
769: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
770: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
771: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
772: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
773:
774: added execvp, getcwd
775:
776: fixed __xmknod
777:
778: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
779: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
780: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
781: not follow symlinks.
782:
783: 0.5.7:
784: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
785:
786: 0.5.6:
787: ported to ppc-linux.
788: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
789: included sigjmp.c
790:
791: 0.5.5:
792: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
793: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
794: I fixed it now.
795: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
796: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
797:
798: 0.5.4:
799: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
800: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
801:
802: 0.5.3:
803: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
804:
805: 0.5.2:
806: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
807: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
808: added localtime from uC-libc.
809:
810: 0.5.1:
811: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
812: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
813: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
814: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
815: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
816: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
817: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
818:
819: 0.5:
820: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
821: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
822: split each system call into a separate object file
823: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
824:
825: 0.4.1:
826: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
827:
828: 0.4:
829: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
830: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
831:
832: 0.3:
833: remove readdir system call
834: added getdents system call
835: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
836: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
