1.240     fefe      209:   fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241     fefe      210:   removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242     fefe      211:   add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet.  Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243     fefe      212:   Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
                    213:     add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
                    214:     numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
                    215:     offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
                    216:     not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
                    217:     SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224     fefe      218: 
1.209     fefe      219: 0.14:
1.224     fefe      220:   fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210     fefe      221:   a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!).  Thanks,
                    222:     Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211     fefe      223:   Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
                    224:     libpthread will work once we implement clone!  Great work, Thomas.
1.212     fefe      225:   made the fake locale more believable.
                    226:   If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213     fefe      227:   moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214     fefe      228:   Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
                    229:     getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
                    230:     liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
                    231:     arguments, not ints (signedness).  execvp had a buffer overflow in
                    232:     case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
                    233:     problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
                    234:     value anyway.
1.219     fefe      235:     hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217     fefe      236:   Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214     fefe      237:   Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
                    238:     three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215     fefe      239:   I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it.  For gcc 3,
                    240:     it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216     fefe      241:   Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
                    242:     size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218     fefe      243:   Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220     olaf      244:   Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
                    245:     libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
                    246:     because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221     fefe      247:   tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field.  Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222     fefe      248:   Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
                    249:     don't write anything which was no longer the case.  It also
                    250:     allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223     fefe      251:   Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209     fefe      252: 
1.193     fefe      253: 0.13:
1.194     fefe      254:   add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199     fefe      255:   make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207     fefe      256:   Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196     leitner   257:   me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197     leitner   258:   res_query did not initialize last
1.199     fefe      259:   diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198     leitner   260:   fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199     fefe      261:   duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200     fefe      262:   fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201     fefe      263:   rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205     fefe      264:   Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204     fefe      265:     make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
                    266:     fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
                    267:     fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
                    268:       bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205     fefe      269:     fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204     fefe      270:   fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
                    271:     Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205     fefe      272:   added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206     fefe      273:   make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208     fefe      274:   remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193     fefe      275: 
1.164     fefe      276: 0.12:
                    277:   more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165     fefe      278:   iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167     fefe      279:   Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166     fefe      280:   Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
                    281:     routines to make them smaller.
1.168     fefe      282:   add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170     fefe      283:   several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168     fefe      284:     add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169     fefe      285:   add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171     fefe      286:   add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172     fefe      287:   add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173     fefe      288:   several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174     fefe      289:   add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175     fefe      290:   add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)

                    293:   add a few more module syscalls.  modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
                    294:   fix gethostent alias list termination.  Major oops.
1.178     fefe      295:   add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179     fefe      296:   opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).

1.181     fefe      299:   Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature!  Idea by Matthias Andree.
                    300:     If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
                    301:     external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc.  So,
                    302:     when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
                    303:     glibc, the linker will barf.  This will bloat your object files, but
                    304:     you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
                    305:     the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182     fefe      306:   fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183     fefe      307:   add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
                    308:   do the same for getgrent and getspent
                    309:   remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184     fefe      310:   rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185     fefe      311:   add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186     fefe      312:   rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187     fefe      313:   Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker.  It's a clean-room
                    314:     implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
                    315:     room ;)
1.188     fefe      316:   add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
                    317:   fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
                    318:     longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189     fefe      319:   changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
                    320:     LONG_MIN will work correctly.  (GNU tar does this)
1.190     fefe      321:   fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
                    322:   add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
                    323:   add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191     fefe      324:   fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192     fefe      325:   added real make install target
1.164     fefe      326: 
1.115     fefe      327: 0.11:
                    328:   fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116     fefe      329:   fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117     fefe      330:   add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
                    331:   add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118     fefe      332:   cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
                    333:   add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
                    334:   try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
                    335:     initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119     fefe      336:   fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120     fefe      337:   I wrote a new getopt.  It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
                    338:     compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
                    339:     a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121     fefe      340:   Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
                    341:     broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
                    342:     I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122     fefe      343:   Fix regexec offset return.  autoconf now believes that diet libc has
                    344:     POSIX regular expressions.
1.123     fefe      345:   Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124     fefe      346:   Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125     fefe      347:   Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|).  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126     fefe      348:   Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127     fefe      349:   Add FAQ.
1.128     fefe      350:   Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
                    351:   initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
                    352:   remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129     fefe      353:   added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
                    354:     warning.
1.131     fefe      355:   started getting rid of kernel headers.  Big task! :-(
1.130     fefe      356:   add res_mkquery.  The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132     olaf      357:   Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
                    358:     startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
                    359:     too)
1.134     fefe      360:   __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
                    361:     Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133     olaf      362:   Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
                    363:     also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135     fefe      364:   crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136     fefe      365:   implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137     fefe      366:   fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
                    367:     not work as delimiter)
1.138     fefe      368:   errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143     fefe      369:   added mkdtemp.
1.142     fefe      370:   Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
                    371:     ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
                    372:     realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
                    373:     putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
                    374:     popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
                    375:     fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
                    376:     bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
                    377:       behavior.
                    378:     system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
                    379:     popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147     fefe      380:     daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
                    381:     perror did not save errno.
1.144     olaf      382:   Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
                    383:     same problem.
                    384:     Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
                    385:     now implemented.
1.145     fefe      386:   Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled.  I will try to
                    387:     implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146     fefe      388:   Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148     fefe      389:   Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149     fefe      390:   Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
                    391:     it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150     fefe      392:   Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
                    393:     sources stink!)
1.151     fefe      394:   Added openpty.
1.152     fefe      395:   Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.

1.157     fefe      399:   Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
                    400:     Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158     fefe      401:   Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
                    402:   Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162     fefe      403:   Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159     olaf      404:     scanf and printf function implementations
1.160     fefe      405:   Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he

1.161     olaf      407:   Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
                    408:     legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163     fefe      409:   Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
                    410:     iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).

1.84      fefe      429:   added getpass.  mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
                    430:   fix the sig*set routines.  mount actually works now *bg*
                    431:   fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85      fefe      432:   added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).

                    449:     together support for %.2f.  Don't look at the code, please!
1.98      fefe      450:   fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing!  Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99      fefe      451:   imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100     fefe      452:   add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)

                    455:   my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102     fefe      456:   wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
                    457:     bytes, not the buffer)
                    458:   add realpath.

                    469:     dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111     fefe      470:   add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112     fefe      471:   fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113     fefe      472:   RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken.  Thanks to Chris Siebenmann

                    483:   change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)

1.64      fefe      492: 0.8:
1.34      fefe      493:   vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
                    494:     incorrectly.
1.35      fefe      495:   new reboot() from Olaf.

                    501:     insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42      fefe      502:   added qsort() and bsearch().  Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
                    503:     glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
                    504:     diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
                    505:     I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43      fefe      506:   added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
                    507:   added popen() and pclose().  Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
                    508:     S-Lang!)
1.44      fefe      509:   corrected usleep.  It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45      fefe      510:   corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
                    511:   several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46      fefe      512:   added ungetc (does it work?)

                    519:   add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52      fefe      520:   add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53      olaf      521:   Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54      fefe      522:   Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file.  I put it in contrib and hope
                    523:     everbody knows what to do with it...
                    524:   Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55      fefe      525:   added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56      fefe      526:   add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
                    527:     kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57      fefe      528:   added shutdown
1.58      fefe      529:   added nice
                    530:   added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
                    531:     isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc).  So, for example, liblatin1 can
                    532:     overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59      fefe      533:   added liblatin1.a
1.60      fefe      534:   added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61      fefe      535:   added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62      fefe      536:   Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
                    537:     Thanks!
1.63      fefe      538:   merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34      fefe      539: 
1.21      fefe      540: 0.7.2:
                    541:   added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
                    542:     <sys/reboot.h>.  Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22      fefe      543:   added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls.  Thanks to
                    544:     Abraham again.  He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
                    545:     an ugly BSD hack.  I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
                    546:     little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
                    547:     and daemon() ;-)
                    548:   added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there.  The
                    549:     idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
                    550:     libraries anyway.
1.26      fefe      551:   optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27      fefe      552:   added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
                    553:     limits.h instead)
                    554:   added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
                    555:     lzop and bzip2.
1.28      fefe      556:   added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
                    557:   Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31      fefe      558:     format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29      fefe      559:   added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
                    560:   added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31      fefe      561:   fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30      fefe      562:   removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31      fefe      563:   removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32      fefe      564:   oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33      fefe      565:   Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21      fefe      566: 
1.9       fefe      567: 0.7.1:
1.11      fefe      568:   optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
                    569:   optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
                    570:   added system (by Olaf).
1.12      fefe      571:   added tolower and toupper
1.13      fefe      572:   added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14      fefe      573:   added clone for mips (by Olaf).
                    574:   fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15      olaf      575:   added pause for all (by Olaf).

1.17      fefe      579:   added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
                    580:     insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18      fefe      581:   added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19      fefe      582:   oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20      fefe      583:   oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
                    584:     Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9       fefe      585: 
                    586: 0.7:
1.6       olaf      587:   clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1       cvs       588:   Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
                    589:   We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
                    590:   added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
                    591:     vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2       fefe      592:   imported readdir fix from Guillaume.  Mhh, can the kernel interface
                    593:     really be this broken?
1.3       fefe      594:   Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
                    595:     stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO).  If this does
                    596:     not work for you, please tell me!
1.4       fefe      597:   Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7       fefe      598:   Fixed stdio line buffering.  The code was already there but I forgot
                    599:     to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered.  This should really be
                    600:     done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8       fefe      601:   Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1       cvs       602: 
                    603: 0.6.14:
                    604:   *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
                    605:   added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
                    606:   did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
                    607:   repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
                    608:     supported).
                    609:   [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume.  Thanks!]
                    610:   added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
                    611: 
                    612: 0.6.13:
                    613:   included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
                    614:     GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL).  That means that
                    615:     you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
                    616:     libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
                    617:   The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
                    618:     noticed until now!  Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
                    619:     this!
                    620:   The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
                    621:     segfault.  Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
                    622: 
                    623: 0.6.12:
                    624:   added assert, statfs and fstatfs
                    625:   added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
                    626: 
                    627: 0.6.11:
                    628:   added putenv.
                    629: 
                    630: 0.6.10:
                    631:   fixed fwrite.  It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
                    632:     of records.  Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
                    633:   fixed fgets.  It returned EOF on empty lines.  Thanks, Erik Frey.
                    634:   added brk and sbrk.  harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
                    635: 
                    636: 0.6.9:
                    637:   fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
                    638:   did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
                    639:     The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
                    640:   fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
                    641:   fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
                    642:   fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
                    643: 
                    644: 0.6.8:
                    645:   Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
                    646:     mips and arm.  I did the one for ppc.  They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
                    647:   added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
                    648:   added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
                    649:   added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
                    650:   added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h.  Most of the
                    651:     string routines have been unrolled.  This is up to three times as
                    652:     fast but creates up to three times larger code.  Now you can disable
                    653:     the unrolling.
                    654:   added sendfile.
                    655:   I also added pread.  It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
                    656:     I have no idea what's going on.  strace disagrees with the kernel.
                    657:     Can anyone help?  I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
                    658:   added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open.  nm on
                    659:     libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
                    660: 
                    661: 0.6.7:
                    662:   the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
                    663:   printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL.  This can be
                    664:     removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
                    665:   added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
                    666:   stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
                    667:     __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
                    668:     stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
                    669:     struct stat.  So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
                    670:     dietlibc headers.
                    671: 
                    672: 0.6.6:
                    673:   changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
                    674:   added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
                    675:   Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
                    676:   Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
                    677:     more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms!  It also
                    678:     looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
                    679:   added a "real" stdio.  Well, almost.  Please contribute!
                    680:   added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
                    681:   removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
                    682:   stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
                    683:   stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
                    684:     stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
                    685: 
                    686: 0.6.5:
                    687:   Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
                    688:     most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
                    689:     functions.
                    690:   Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
                    691:     several bugs.
                    692:   Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
                    693:   Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
                    694: 
                    695: 0.6.4:
                    696:   declared is* static inline in getservent.
                    697:   added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
                    698:   changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
                    699:   new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS.  Thanks to Olaf the Mad
                    700:     Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
                    701:     box, just from reading the architecture manual.  And it worked out
                    702:     of the box.
                    703:   started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
                    704:     my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
                    705:     glibc).  diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
                    706:     from a normal libc.  The includes do declare more than diet libc
                    707:     currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
                    708:     applications.
                    709:   I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
                    710:     the C version.  Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
                    711:     very often and are substantially faster.
                    712:   added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
                    713:     version.  It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
                    714:     proton (thanks, anyway).
                    715:   added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
                    716:   "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
                    717: 
                    718: 0.6.3:
                    719:   added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
                    720:   added isblank
                    721:   added atol
                    722: 
                    723: 0.6.2:
                    724:   mmap for ARM didn't compile.  Thanks, Paul!
                    725: 
                    726: 0.6.1:
                    727:   split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
                    728:   getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
                    729:   Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
                    730: 
                    731: 0.6:
                    732:   strcat returned the wrong result.  Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
                    733:   strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
                    734:   Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
                    735:     __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
                    736:   The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code.  That means that
                    737:     the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
                    738:     non-PIC.  I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
                    739:     Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
                    740:   I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
                    741:     VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically.  That should
                    742:     simplify the sources greatly.
                    743:   Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
                    744:   ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
                    745:   "compile" and "load" are now make targets.  Use them for djb programs.
                    746:   added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
                    747:     Again, contributed from Olaf.  Great work!
                    748: 
                    749: 0.5.12:
                    750:   printf also does signed numbers.
                    751:   If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
                    752:   *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
                    753:   Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
                    754:   If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
                    755:     return the number of bytes it would have written.
                    756:   Initial MIPS port!   (Oh, the agony!)
                    757:     No setjmp and longjmp support yet!  Please contribute!
                    758:   I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS.  Still, MIPS code is
                    759:     almost twice the size of SPARC code.  If anyone knows why: please
                    760:     tell me!
                    761: 
                    762: 0.5.11:
                    763:   I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
                    764:     on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
                    765:     subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
                    766:   A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
                    767:     2864 bytes on sparc
                    768:     2488 bytes on intel
                    769:   I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
                    770:     to make a few more applications work.
                    771:   Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
                    772:   He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
                    773:     costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
                    774:   I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
                    775:   I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite).  Now we can add
                    776:     floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
                    777: 
                    778: 0.5.10:
                    779:   I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
                    780:     the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
                    781:     arguments) except for setting the system call number.  All those
                    782:     system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
                    783:     I got rid of x86openclose again.  The savings are substantial:
                    784:     chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
                    785:     If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
                    786:     even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
                    787:     anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
                    788:     system call!)
                    789: 
                    790: 0.5.9:
                    791:   added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
                    792:   fixed strdup
                    793:   fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
                    794:   Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
                    795:     (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
                    796:     supporting octal, hex and decimal).  Thanks, Olaf!  (by the way:
                    797:     that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
                    798:     Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
                    799:     automatically pads pointers with '0'.
                    800:   Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
                    801:   Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
                    802:   The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
                    803:   64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
                    804:     [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
                    805:   Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
                    806:     speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
                    807:   For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
                    808:     errno handling.  This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
                    809:     few bytes.  I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
                    810:     all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
                    811: 
                    812: 0.5.8:
                    813:   fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
                    814: 
                    815:   added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
                    816:   memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
                    817:   strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
                    818:   contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
                    819: 
                    820:   added execvp, getcwd
                    821: 
                    822:   fixed __xmknod
                    823: 
                    824:   Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
                    825:   cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
                    826:   structure?  I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
                    827:   not follow symlinks.

                    841:   dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
                    842:   fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm

                    858:     translation between kernel and userland.  Why can't the kernel
                    859:     people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
