1.352 fefe 15: fix unified x86_64 unified syscall 64-bit return value issue (Gwenole)
1.353 fefe 16: the getdents64 emulation was broken and repairing it opened a can of
17: worms. So I ripped it out. I also changed the readdir64 emulation
18: to work if there is no getdents64.
1.354 fefe 19: fix ia64 start.S (Thanks to Volker Birk for an account on his ia64 box)
1.355 fefe 20: many ia64 fixes (waitpid, nice, fork, vfork, time, utime ...)
1.356 fefe 21: More fixes from Gwenole (printf %p only printed the last 32 bits, I
22: botched the getdents64 #ifdefs, we violated the x86_64 ABI)
1.357 fefe 23: change signal() to do as glibc does

28: I worked around it with conditional assembly in cpp macros. Ugh.
1.361 fefe 29: more MIPS fixes (the stoned MIPS ABI for restartable syscalls expects
30: the instruction before the syscall to be a load immediate)
31: fix fread() from a pipe (oops, tried to lseek)
1.362 fefe 32: #define _POSIX_VDISABLE in termios.h (Laurent Bercot)
1.363 fefe 33: two *printf fixes (Gernot Tenchio)

55: use -G 8 on MIPS to reduce code size (Johannes Stezenbach)
1.328 fefe 56: add munlock (Jens Låås)
1.330 fefe 57: argh, atexit fell victim to bit rot (or maybe Olaf)
1.331 fefe 58: add WANT_INET_ADDR_DNS to make gethostbyname not look up IP numbers

1.332 olaf 60: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 61: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
62: the built-in defaults.
1.334 fefe 63: add file "SECURITY". I will document design tradeoffs that have
64: security implications there.
1.335 fefe 65: fixed regex LINEEND condition
1.336 fefe 66: add .size directive to i386 syscalls
1.337 fefe 67: shove a few more bytes off the i386 socket calls
1.339 fefe 68: setjmp, longjmp and clone for x86_64 are now implemented but not tested (Olaf)

1.283 fefe 97: add libm2.s from contrib to i386 (oops, how long has it been sitting
98: there?)
1.284 fefe 99: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 100: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
101: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
102: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
103: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 104: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work

143: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 144: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
145: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
146: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 147: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 148: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
149: libcompat
1.271 fefe 150: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.277 fefe 154: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
155: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
156: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 157: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 158: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 159: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
160: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 161:
1.244 fefe 162: 0.16:
163: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 164: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
165: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 166: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
167: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 168: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
169: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
170: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
171: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 172: remove a few warnings
173: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 174: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
175: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 176: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 177: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 178: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
179: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 180: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
181: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 182: add getdelim and getline
183: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 184: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 185: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 193:
1.224 fefe 194: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 195: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 196: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 197: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
198: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 199: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
200: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 201: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
202: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
203: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
204: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
205: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
206: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 207: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
208: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
209: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
210: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
211: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 212: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 213: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
214: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
215: does it correctly.
216: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
217: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
218: buffer.
219: strftime updates.
220: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
221: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 222: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 223: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
224: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 225: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 226: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
227: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 228: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
229: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 230: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 231: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
232: on ARM.
233: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 234: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
235: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 236: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 237: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 238: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 239: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
240: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
241: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
242: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
243: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
244: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 245:
1.209 fefe 246: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 247: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 248: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
249: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 250: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
251: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 252: made the fake locale more believable.
253: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 254: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 255: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
256: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
257: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
258: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
259: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
260: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
261: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 262: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 263: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 264: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
265: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 266: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
267: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 268: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
269: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 270: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 271: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
272: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
273: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 274: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 275: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
276: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
277: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 278: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 279:
1.193 fefe 280: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 281: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 282: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 283: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 284: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 285: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 286: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 287: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 288: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 289: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 290: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 291: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 292: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
293: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
294: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
295: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 296: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 297: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
298: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 299: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 300: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 301: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 302:
1.164 fefe 303: 0.12:
304: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 305: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 306: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 307: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
308: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 309: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 310: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 311: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 312: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 313: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 314: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 315: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 316: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 317: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 318: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 319: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
320: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
321: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 322: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 323: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 324: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
325: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 326: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
327: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
328: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
329: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
330: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
331: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
332: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 333: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 334: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
335: do the same for getgrent and getspent
336: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 337: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 338: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 339: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 340: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
341: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
342: room ;)
1.188 fefe 343: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
344: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
345: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 346: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
347: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 348: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
349: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
350: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 351: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 352: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 353:
1.115 fefe 354: 0.11:
355: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 356: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 357: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
358: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 359: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
360: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
361: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
362: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 363: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 364: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
365: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
366: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 367: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
368: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
369: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 370: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
371: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 372: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 373: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 374: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 375: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 376: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 377: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
378: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
379: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 380: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
381: warning.
1.131 fefe 382: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 383: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 384: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
385: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
386: too)
1.134 fefe 387: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
388: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 389: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
390: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 391: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 392: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 393: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
394: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 395: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 396: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 397: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
398: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
399: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
400: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
401: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
402: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
403: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
404: behavior.
405: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
406: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 407: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
408: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 409: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
410: same problem.
411: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
412: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 413: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
414: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 415: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 416: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 417: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
418: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 419: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
420: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 421: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 422: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 423: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 424: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 425: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 426: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
427: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 428: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
429: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 430: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 431: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 432: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
433: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 434: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
435: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 436: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
437: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
438: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 439:
1.74 fefe 440: 0.10:
441: update getpagesize.
442: add personality.
1.75 fefe 443: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 444: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
445: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 446: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 447: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 448: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
449: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 450: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 451: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 452: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
453: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
454: heroic act of self-mutilation.
455: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 456: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
457: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
458: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 459: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 460: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 461: add res_init.
462: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 463: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 464: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
465: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 466: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 467: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 468: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 469: add setenv.
470: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
471: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
472: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
473: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
474: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 475: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
476: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 477: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 478: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 479: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
480: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 481: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
482: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 483: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
484: bytes, not the buffer)
485: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 486: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 487: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
488: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 489: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
490: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 491: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 492: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 493: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 494: add killpg
1.110 fefe 495: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
496: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 497: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 498: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 499: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
500: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 501: add getserv*.
502: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
503: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 504:
1.73 fefe 505: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 506: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 507: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
508: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 509: add fnmatch
510: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 511: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 512: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
513: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
514: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 515: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 516: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 517: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 518:
1.64 fefe 519: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 520: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
521: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 522: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 523: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 524: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 525: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 526: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 527: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
528: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 529: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
530: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
531: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
532: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 533: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
534: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
535: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 536: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 537: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
538: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 539: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 540: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 541: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 542: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
543: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 544: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 545: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
546: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 547: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 548: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 549: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
550: everbody knows what to do with it...
551: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 552: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 553: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
554: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 555: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 556: added nice
557: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
558: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
559: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 560: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 561: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 562: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 563: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
564: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 565: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 566:
1.21 fefe 567: 0.7.2:
568: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
569: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 570: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
571: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
572: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
573: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
574: and daemon() ;-)
575: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
576: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
577: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 578: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 579: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
580: limits.h instead)
581: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
582: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 583: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
584: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 585: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 586: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
587: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 588: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 589: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 590: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 591: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 592: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 593:
1.9 fefe 594: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 595: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
596: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
597: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 598: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 599: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 600: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
601: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 602: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 603: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 604: added isupper and islower.
605: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 606: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
607: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 608: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 609: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 610: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
611: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 612:
613: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 614: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 615: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
616: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
617: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
618: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 619: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
620: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 621: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
622: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
623: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 624: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 625: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
626: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
627: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 628: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 629:
630: 0.6.14:
631: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
632: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
633: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
634: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
635: supported).
636: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
637: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
638:
639: 0.6.13:
640: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
641: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
642: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
643: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
644: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
645: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
646: this!
647: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
648: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
649:
650: 0.6.12:
651: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
652: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
653:
654: 0.6.11:
655: added putenv.
656:
657: 0.6.10:
658: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
659: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
660: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
661: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
662:
663: 0.6.9:
664: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
665: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
666: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
667: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
668: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
669: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
670:
671: 0.6.8:
672: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
673: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
674: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
675: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
676: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
677: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
678: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
679: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
680: the unrolling.
681: added sendfile.
682: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
683: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
684: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
685: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
686: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
687:
688: 0.6.7:
689: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
690: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
691: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
692: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
693: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
694: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
695: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
696: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
697: dietlibc headers.
698:
699: 0.6.6:
700: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
701: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
702: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
703: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
704: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
705: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
706: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
707: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
708: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
709: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
710: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
711: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
712:
713: 0.6.5:
714: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
715: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
716: functions.
717: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
718: several bugs.
719: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
720: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
721:
722: 0.6.4:
723: declared is* static inline in getservent.
724: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
725: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
726: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
727: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
728: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
729: of the box.
730: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
731: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
732: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
733: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
734: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
735: applications.
736: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
737: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
738: very often and are substantially faster.
739: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
740: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
741: proton (thanks, anyway).
742: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
743: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
744:
745: 0.6.3:
746: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
747: added isblank
748: added atol
749:
750: 0.6.2:
751: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
752:
753: 0.6.1:
754: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
755: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
756: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
757:
758: 0.6:
759: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
760: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
761: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
762: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
763: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
764: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
765: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
766: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
767: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
768: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
769: simplify the sources greatly.
770: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
771: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
772: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
773: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
774: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
775:
776: 0.5.12:
777: printf also does signed numbers.
778: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
779: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
780: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
781: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
782: return the number of bytes it would have written.
783: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
784: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
785: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
786: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
787: tell me!
788:
789: 0.5.11:
790: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
791: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
792: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
793: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
794: 2864 bytes on sparc
795: 2488 bytes on intel
796: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
797: to make a few more applications work.
798: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
799: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
800: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
801: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
802: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
803: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
804:
805: 0.5.10:
806: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
807: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
808: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
809: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
810: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
811: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
812: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
813: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
814: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
815: system call!)
816:
817: 0.5.9:
818: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
819: fixed strdup
820: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
821: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
822: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
823: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
824: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
825: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
826: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
827: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
828: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
829: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
830: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
831: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
832: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
833: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
834: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
835: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
836: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
837: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
838:
839: 0.5.8:
840: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
841:
842: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
843: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
844: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
845: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
846:
847: added execvp, getcwd
848:
849: fixed __xmknod
850:
851: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
852: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
853: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
854: not follow symlinks.
855:
856: 0.5.7:
857: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
858:
859: 0.5.6:
860: ported to ppc-linux.
861: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
862: included sigjmp.c
863:
864: 0.5.5:
865: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
866: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
867: I fixed it now.
868: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
869: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
870:
871: 0.5.4:
872: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
873: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
874:
875: 0.5.3:
876: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
877:
878: 0.5.2:
879: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
880: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
881: added localtime from uC-libc.
882:
883: 0.5.1:
884: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
885: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
886: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
887: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
888: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
889: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
890: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
891:
892: 0.5:
893: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
894: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
895: split each system call into a separate object file
896: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
897:
898: 0.4.1:
899: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
900:
901: 0.4:
902: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
903: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
904:
905: 0.3:
906: remove readdir system call
907: added getdents system call
908: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
909: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
