                    189:     offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
                    190:     not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that

                    205:     arguments, not ints (signedness).  execvp had a buffer overflow in
                    206:     case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
                    207:     problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known

1.219     fefe      209:     hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options

1.214     fefe      211:   Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
                    212:     three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215     fefe      213:   I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it.  For gcc 3,
                    214:     it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216     fefe      215:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
                    216:     size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.

1.220     olaf      218:   Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
                    219:     libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
                    220:     because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221     fefe      221:   tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field.  Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222     fefe      222:   Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
                    223:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    224:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      225:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      226: 
1.193     fefe      227: 0.13:

1.199     fefe      233:   diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198     leitner   234:   fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199     fefe      235:   duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200     fefe      236:   fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201     fefe      237:   rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)

                    240:     fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
                    241:     fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
                    242:       bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205     fefe      243:     fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204     fefe      244:   fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)

1.208     fefe      248:   remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193     fefe      249:

1.168     fefe      256:   add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170     fefe      257:   several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168     fefe      258:     add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169     fefe      259:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)

                    274:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    275:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    276:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    277:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    278:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    279:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      280:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).

                    283:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      284:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      285:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      286:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      287:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    288:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    289:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      290:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    291:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    292:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      293:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    294:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      295:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    296:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)

1.191     fefe      298:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      299:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      300:

                    307:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    308:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    309:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      310:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      311:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    312:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    313:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      314:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    315:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
                    316:     I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      317:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    318:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      319:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      320:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      321:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.

                    325:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    326:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      327:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    328:     warning.
1.131     fefe      329:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      330:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      331:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    332:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    333:     too)
1.134     fefe      334:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    335:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      336:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    337:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)

1.136     fefe      339:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      340:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    341:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      342:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      343:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      344:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:

                    346:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    347:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    348:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    349:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    350:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    351:       behavior.
                    352:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    353:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      354:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    355:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      356:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the

                    358:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is

1.145     fefe      360:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to

                    382:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      383:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
                    384:     iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
                    385:     Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115     fefe      386: 
1.74      fefe      387: 0.10:

1.76      fefe      391:   add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")

1.97      fefe      422:   add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
                    423:     together support for %.2f.  Don't look at the code, please!
1.98      fefe      424:   fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing!  Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99      fefe      425:   imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100     fefe      426:   add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)

                    429:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      430:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    431:     bytes, not the buffer)
                    432:   add realpath.
1.103     fefe      433:   fix vfprintf.

                    437:   add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106     fefe      438:   fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107     fefe      439:   add fake herror.

1.109     fefe      441:   add killpg
1.110     fefe      442:   implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
                    443:     dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111     fefe      444:   add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112     fefe      445:   fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113     fefe      446:   RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken.  Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
                    447:     for sending a patch.
1.114     fefe      448:   add getserv*.
                    449:   add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
                    450:     "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74      fefe      451: 
1.73      fefe      452: 0.9:
1.65      fefe      453:   fixed initgroups (oops)

                    455:   imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67      fefe      456:   add fnmatch
                    457:   change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68      fefe      458:   Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69      fefe      459:   Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).

1.65      fefe      465: 
1.64      fefe      466: 0.8:
1.34      fefe      467:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    468:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      469:   new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36      fefe      470:   added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.

1.40      fefe      473:   added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41      fefe      474:   added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
                    475:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      476:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    477:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    478:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    479:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      480:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    481:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    482:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      483:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      484:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    485:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      486:   added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47      fefe      487:   added inet_aton (yuck!)

                    493:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      494:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      495:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      496:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    497:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    498:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      499:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      500:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    501:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      502:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      503:   added nice
                    504:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    505:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    506:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      507:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      508:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      509:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      510:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    511:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      512:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      513: 
1.21      fefe      514: 0.7.2:
                    515:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    516:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      517:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    518:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    519:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    520:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    521:     and daemon() ;-)
                    522:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    523:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    524:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      525:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      526:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    527:     limits.h instead)
                    528:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    529:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      530:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    531:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      532:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      533:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    534:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31      fefe      535:   fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30      fefe      536:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      537:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      538:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      539:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      540: 
1.9       fefe      541: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      542:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    543:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    544:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      545:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      546:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14      fefe      547:   added clone for mips (by Olaf).
                    548:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      549:   added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17      fefe      550:   added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16      fefe      551:   added isupper and islower.
                    552:   added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17      fefe      553:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    554:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      555:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      556:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      557:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    558:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      559: 
                    560: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      561:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       562:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    563:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    564:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    565:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      566:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    567:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      568:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    569:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    570:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      571:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      572:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    573:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    574:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      575:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       576: 
                    577: 0.6.14:
                    578:   *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
                    579:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    580:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    581:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    582:     supported).
                    583:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    584:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    585: 
                    586: 0.6.13:
                    587:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    588:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    589:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    590:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    591:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    592:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    593:     this!
                    594:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    595:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    596: 
                    597: 0.6.12:
                    598:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    599:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    600: 
                    601: 0.6.11:
                    602:   added putenv.
                    603: 
                    604: 0.6.10:
                    605:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    606:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    607:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    608:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    609: 
                    610: 0.6.9:
                    611:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    612:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    613:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    614:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    615:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    616:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    617: 
                    618: 0.6.8:
                    619:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    620:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    621:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    622:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    623:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    624:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    625:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    626:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    627:     the unrolling.
                    628:   added sendfile.
                    629:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    630:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    631:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    632:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    633:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    634: 
                    635: 0.6.7:
                    636:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    637:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    638:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    639:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    640:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    641:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    642:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    643:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    644:     dietlibc headers.
                    645: 
                    646: 0.6.6:
                    647:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    648:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    649:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    650:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    651:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    652:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    653:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    654:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    655:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    656:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    657:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    658:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    659: 
                    660: 0.6.5:
                    661:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    662:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    663:     functions.
                    664:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    665:     several bugs.
                    666:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    667:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    668: 
                    669: 0.6.4:
                    670:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    671:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    672:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    673:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    674:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    675:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    676:     of the box.
                    677:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    678:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    679:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    680:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    681:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    682:     applications.
                    683:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    684:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    685:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    686:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    687:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    688:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    689:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    690:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    691: 
                    692: 0.6.3:
                    693:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    694:   added isblank
                    695:   added atol
                    696: 
                    697: 0.6.2:
                    698:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    699: 
                    700: 0.6.1:
                    701:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    702:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    703:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    704: 
                    705: 0.6:
                    706:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    707:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    708:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    709:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    710:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    711:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    712:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    713:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    714:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    715:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    716:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    717:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    718:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    719:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    720:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    721:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    722: 
                    723: 0.5.12:
                    724:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    725:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    726:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    727:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    728:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    729:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    730:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    731:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    732:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    733:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    734:     tell me!
                    735: 
                    736: 0.5.11:
                    737:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    738:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    739:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    740:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    741:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    742:     2488 bytes on intel
                    743:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    744:     to make a few more applications work.
                    745:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    746:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    747:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    748:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    749:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    750:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    751: 
                    752: 0.5.10:
                    753:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    754:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    755:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    756:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    757:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    758:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    759:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    760:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    761:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    762:     system call!)
                    763: 
                    764: 0.5.9:
                    765:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    766:   fixed strdup
                    767:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    768:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    769:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    770:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    771:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    772:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    773:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    774:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    775:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    776:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    777:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    778:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    779:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    780:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    781:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    782:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    783:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    784:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    785: 
                    786: 0.5.8:
                    787:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    788: 
                    789:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    790:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    791:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                    792:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                    793: 
                    794:   added execvp, getcwd
                    795: 
                    796:   fixed __xmknod
                    797: 
                    798:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                    799:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                    800:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                    801:   not follow symlinks.
                    802: 
                    803: 0.5.7:
                    804:   oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
                    805: 
                    806: 0.5.6:
                    807:   ported to ppc-linux.
                    808:   fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
                    809:   included sigjmp.c
                    810: 
                    811: 0.5.5:
                    812:   added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
                    813:   actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
                    814:   I fixed it now.
                    815:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                    816:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
                    817: 
                    818: 0.5.4:
                    819:   ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only).  Beware: does not work yet.
                    820:   added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
                    821: 
                    822: 0.5.3:
                    823:   added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
                    824: 
                    825: 0.5.2:
                    826:   added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
                    827:     (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
                    828:   added localtime from uC-libc.
                    829: 
                    830: 0.5.1:
