1.352 fefe 23: fix unified x86_64 unified syscall 64-bit return value issue (Gwenole)
1.353 fefe 24: the getdents64 emulation was broken and repairing it opened a can of
25: worms. So I ripped it out. I also changed the readdir64 emulation

1.354 fefe 27: fix ia64 start.S (Thanks to Volker Birk for an account on his ia64 box)
1.355 fefe 28: many ia64 fixes (waitpid, nice, fork, vfork, time, utime ...)
1.356 fefe 29: More fixes from Gwenole (printf %p only printed the last 32 bits, I
30: botched the getdents64 #ifdefs, we violated the x86_64 ABI)

1.361 fefe 37: more MIPS fixes (the stoned MIPS ABI for restartable syscalls expects
38: the instruction before the syscall to be a load immediate)
39: fix fread() from a pipe (oops, tried to lseek)
1.362 fefe 40: #define _POSIX_VDISABLE in termios.h (Laurent Bercot)
1.363 fefe 41: two *printf fixes (Gernot Tenchio)

1.332 olaf 69: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 70: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
71: the built-in defaults.
1.334 fefe 72: add file "SECURITY". I will document design tradeoffs that have
73: security implications there.
1.335 fefe 74: fixed regex LINEEND condition
1.336 fefe 75: add .size directive to i386 syscalls
1.337 fefe 76: shove a few more bytes off the i386 socket calls

107: there?)
1.284 fefe 108: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 109: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
110: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
111: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
112: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 113: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work

152: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 153: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
154: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
155: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 156: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 157: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
158: libcompat

1.277 fefe 163: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
164: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me

1.278 fefe 166: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 167: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 168: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before

1.264 fefe 170:
1.244 fefe 171: 0.16:
172: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 173: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
174: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 175: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
176: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 177: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
178: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
179: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
180: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 181: remove a few warnings
182: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 183: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
184: Idea by Dirk Engling.

1.252 fefe 186: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 187: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
188: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 189: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
190: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 191: add getdelim and getline
192: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 193: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 194: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 202:
1.224 fefe 203: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 204: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 205: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 206: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
207: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 208: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
209: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 210: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
211: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
212: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
213: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
214: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
215: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 216: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
217: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
218: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
219: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
220: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 221: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 222: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
223: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
224: does it correctly.
225: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
226: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
227: buffer.
228: strftime updates.
229: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
230: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 231: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 232: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
233: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 234: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 235: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
236: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 237: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
238: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 239: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 240: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
241: on ARM.
242: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 243: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
244: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 245: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 246: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 247: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 248: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
249: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
250: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
251: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
252: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
253: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 254:
1.209 fefe 255: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 256: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 257: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
258: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 259: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
260: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 261: made the fake locale more believable.
262: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 263: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 264: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
265: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
266: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
267: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
268: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
269: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
270: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 271: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 272: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 273: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
274: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 275: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
276: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 277: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
278: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 279: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 280: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
281: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
282: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 283: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 284: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
285: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
286: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 287: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 288:
1.193 fefe 289: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 290: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 291: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 292: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 293: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 294: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 295: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 296: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 297: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 298: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 299: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 300: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 301: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
302: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
303: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
304: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 305: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 306: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
307: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 308: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 309: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 310: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 311:
1.164 fefe 312: 0.12:

1.165 fefe 314: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 315: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 316: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
317: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 318: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 319: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 320: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 321: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 322: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 323: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 324: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 325: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 326: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 327: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 328: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
329: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
330: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 331: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 332: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 333: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
334: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 335: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
336: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
337: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
338: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
339: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
340: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
341: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 342: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 343: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
344: do the same for getgrent and getspent
345: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 346: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 347: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 348: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 349: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
350: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
351: room ;)
1.188 fefe 352: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
353: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
354: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 355: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
356: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 357: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
358: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
359: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 360: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 361: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 362:
1.115 fefe 363: 0.11:
364: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 365: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 366: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
367: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 368: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
369: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
370: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
371: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 372: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 373: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
374: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
375: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 376: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
377: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
378: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 379: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
380: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 381: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 382: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 383: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 384: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 385: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 386: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
387: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
388: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 389: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
390: warning.
1.131 fefe 391: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 392: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 393: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
394: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
395: too)
1.134 fefe 396: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
397: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 398: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
399: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 400: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 401: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 402: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
403: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 404: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 405: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 406: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
407: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
408: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
409: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
410: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
411: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
412: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
413: behavior.
414: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
415: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 416: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
417: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 418: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
419: same problem.
420: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
421: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 422: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
423: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 424: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 425: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 426: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
427: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 428: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
429: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 430: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 431: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 432: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 433: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 434: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 435: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
436: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 437: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
438: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 439: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 440: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 441: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
442: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 443: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
444: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 445: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
446: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
447: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 448:
1.74 fefe 449: 0.10:
450: update getpagesize.
451: add personality.
1.75 fefe 452: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 453: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
454: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 455: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 456: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 457: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
458: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 459: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 460: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 461: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
462: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
463: heroic act of self-mutilation.
464: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 465: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
466: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
467: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 468: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 469: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 470: add res_init.
471: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 472: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 473: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
474: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 475: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 476: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 477: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 478: add setenv.
479: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
480: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
481: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
482: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
483: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 484: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
485: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 486: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 487: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 488: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
489: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 490: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
491: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 492: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
493: bytes, not the buffer)
494: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 495: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 496: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
497: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 498: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
499: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 500: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 501: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 502: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 503: add killpg
1.110 fefe 504: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
505: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 506: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 507: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 508: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
509: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 510: add getserv*.
511: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
512: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 513:
1.73 fefe 514: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 515: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 516: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
517: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 518: add fnmatch
519: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 520: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 521: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
522: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
523: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 524: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 525: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 526: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 527:
1.64 fefe 528: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 529: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
530: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 531: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 532: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 533: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 534: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 535: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 536: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
537: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 538: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
539: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
540: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
541: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 542: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
543: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
544: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 545: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 546: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
547: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 548: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 549: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 550: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 551: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
552: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 553: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 554: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
555: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 556: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 557: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 558: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
559: everbody knows what to do with it...
560: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 561: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 562: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
563: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 564: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 565: added nice
566: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
567: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
568: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 569: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 570: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 571: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 572: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
573: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 574: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 575:
1.21 fefe 576: 0.7.2:
577: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
578: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 579: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
580: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
581: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
582: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
583: and daemon() ;-)
584: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
585: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
586: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 587: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 588: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
589: limits.h instead)
590: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
591: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 592: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
593: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 594: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 595: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
596: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 597: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 598: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 599: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 600: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 601: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 602:
1.9 fefe 603: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 604: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
605: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
606: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 607: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 608: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 609: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
610: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 611: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 612: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 613: added isupper and islower.
614: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 615: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
616: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 617: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 618: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 619: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
620: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 621:
622: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 623: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 624: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
625: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
626: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
627: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 628: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
629: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 630: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
631: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
632: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 633: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 634: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
635: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
636: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 637: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 638:
639: 0.6.14:
640: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
641: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
642: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
643: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
644: supported).
645: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
646: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
647:
648: 0.6.13:
649: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
650: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
651: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
652: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
653: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
654: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
655: this!
656: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
657: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
658:
659: 0.6.12:
660: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
661: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
662:
663: 0.6.11:
664: added putenv.
665:
666: 0.6.10:
667: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
668: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
669: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
670: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
671:
672: 0.6.9:
673: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
674: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
675: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
676: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
677: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
678: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
679:
680: 0.6.8:
681: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
682: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
683: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
684: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
685: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
686: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
687: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
688: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
689: the unrolling.
690: added sendfile.
691: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
692: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
693: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
694: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
695: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
696:
697: 0.6.7:
698: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
699: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
700: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
701: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
702: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
703: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
704: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
705: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
706: dietlibc headers.
707:
708: 0.6.6:
709: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
710: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
711: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
712: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
713: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
714: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
715: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
716: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
717: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
718: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
719: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
720: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
721:
722: 0.6.5:
723: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
724: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
725: functions.
726: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
727: several bugs.
728: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
729: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
730:
731: 0.6.4:
732: declared is* static inline in getservent.
733: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
734: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
735: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
736: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
737: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
738: of the box.
739: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
740: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
741: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
742: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
743: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
744: applications.
745: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
746: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
747: very often and are substantially faster.
748: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
749: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
750: proton (thanks, anyway).
751: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
752: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
753:
754: 0.6.3:
755: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
756: added isblank
757: added atol
758:
759: 0.6.2:
760: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
761:
762: 0.6.1:
763: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
764: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
765: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
766:
767: 0.6:
768: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
769: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
770: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
771: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
772: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
773: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
774: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
775: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
776: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
777: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
778: simplify the sources greatly.
779: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
780: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
781: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
782: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
783: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
784:
785: 0.5.12:
786: printf also does signed numbers.
787: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
788: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
789: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
790: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
791: return the number of bytes it would have written.
792: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
793: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
794: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
795: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
796: tell me!
797:
798: 0.5.11:
799: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
800: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
801: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
802: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
803: 2864 bytes on sparc
804: 2488 bytes on intel
805: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
806: to make a few more applications work.
807: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
808: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
809: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
810: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
811: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
812: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
813:
814: 0.5.10:
815: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
816: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
817: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
818: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
819: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
820: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
821: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
822: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
823: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
824: system call!)
825:
826: 0.5.9:
827: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
828: fixed strdup
829: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
830: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
831: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
832: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
833: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
834: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
835: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
836: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
837: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
838: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
839: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
840: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
841: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
842: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
843: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
844: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
845: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
846: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
847:
848: 0.5.8:
849: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
850:
851: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
852: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
853: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
854: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
855:
856: added execvp, getcwd
857:
858: fixed __xmknod
859:
860: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
861: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
862: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
863: not follow symlinks.
864:
865: 0.5.7:
866: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
867:
868: 0.5.6:
869: ported to ppc-linux.
870: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
871: included sigjmp.c
872:
873: 0.5.5:
874: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
875: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
876: I fixed it now.
877: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
878: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
879:
880: 0.5.4:
881: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
882: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
883:
884: 0.5.3:
885: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
886:
887: 0.5.2:
888: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
889: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
890: added localtime from uC-libc.
891:
892: 0.5.1:
893: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
894: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
895: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
896: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
897: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
898: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
899: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
900:
901: 0.5:
902: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
903: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
904: split each system call into a separate object file
905: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
906:
907: 0.4.1:
908: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
909:
910: 0.4:
911: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
912: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
913:
914: 0.3:
915: remove readdir system call
916: added getdents system call
917: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
918: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
919:
