1.352 fefe 66: fix unified x86_64 unified syscall 64-bit return value issue (Gwenole)
1.353 fefe 67: the getdents64 emulation was broken and repairing it opened a can of

1.332 olaf 112: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 113: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
114: the built-in defaults.

150: there?)
1.284 fefe 151: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 152: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
153: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
154: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
155: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 156: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work

1.267 fefe 194: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
195: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 196: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
197: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
198: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 199: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 200: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
201: libcompat
1.271 fefe 202: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.277 fefe 206: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
207: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
208: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 209: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 210: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 211: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
212: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 213:
1.244 fefe 214: 0.16:
215: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 216: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
217: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 218: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
219: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 220: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
221: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
222: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
223: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 224: remove a few warnings
225: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 226: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
227: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 228: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 229: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 230: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
231: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 232: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
233: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 234: add getdelim and getline
235: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 236: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 237: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 245:
1.224 fefe 246: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 247: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 248: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 249: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
250: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 251: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
252: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 253: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
254: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
255: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
256: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
257: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
258: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 259: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
260: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
261: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
262: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
263: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 264: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 265: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
266: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
267: does it correctly.
268: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
269: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
270: buffer.
271: strftime updates.
272: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
273: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 274: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 275: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
276: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 277: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 278: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
279: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 280: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
281: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 282: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 283: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
284: on ARM.
285: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 286: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
287: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 288: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 289: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 290: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 291: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
292: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
293: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
294: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
295: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
296: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 297:
1.209 fefe 298: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 299: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 300: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
301: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 302: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
303: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 304: made the fake locale more believable.
305: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 306: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 307: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
308: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
309: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
310: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
311: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
312: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
313: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 314: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 315: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 316: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
317: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 318: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
319: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 320: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
321: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 322: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 323: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
324: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
325: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 326: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 327: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
328: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
329: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 330: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 331:
1.193 fefe 332: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 333: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 334: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 335: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 336: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 337: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 338: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 339: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 340: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 341: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 342: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 343: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 344: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
345: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
346: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
347: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 348: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 349: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
350: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 351: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 352: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 353: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 354:
1.164 fefe 355: 0.12:
356: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 357: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 358: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 359: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
360: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 361: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 362: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 363: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 364: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 365: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 366: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 367: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 368: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 369: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 370: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 371: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
372: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
373: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 374: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 375: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 376: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
377: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 378: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
379: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
380: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
381: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
382: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
383: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
384: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 385: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 386: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
387: do the same for getgrent and getspent
388: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 389: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 390: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 391: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 392: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
393: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
394: room ;)
1.188 fefe 395: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
396: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
397: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 398: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
399: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 400: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
401: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
402: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 403: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 404: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 405:
1.115 fefe 406: 0.11:
407: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 408: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 409: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
410: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 411: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
412: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
413: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
414: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 415: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 416: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
417: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
418: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 419: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
420: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
421: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 422: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
423: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 424: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 425: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 426: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 427: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 428: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 429: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
430: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
431: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 432: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
433: warning.
1.131 fefe 434: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 435: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 436: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
437: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
438: too)
1.134 fefe 439: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
440: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 441: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
442: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 443: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 444: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 445: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
446: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 447: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 448: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 449: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
450: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
451: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
452: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
453: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
454: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
455: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
456: behavior.
457: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
458: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 459: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
460: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 461: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
462: same problem.
463: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
464: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 465: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
466: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 467: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 468: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 469: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
470: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 471: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
472: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 473: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 474: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 475: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 476: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 477: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 478: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
479: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 480: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
481: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 482: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 483: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 484: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
485: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 486: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
487: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 488: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
489: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
490: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 491:
1.74 fefe 492: 0.10:
493: update getpagesize.
494: add personality.
1.75 fefe 495: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 496: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
497: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 498: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 499: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 500: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
501: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 502: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 503: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 504: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
505: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
506: heroic act of self-mutilation.
507: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 508: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
509: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
510: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 511: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 512: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 513: add res_init.
514: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 515: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 516: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
517: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.

1.94 fefe 520: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 521: add setenv.
522: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
523: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
524: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
525: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
526: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 527: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
528: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 529: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 530: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 531: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
532: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 533: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
534: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 535: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
536: bytes, not the buffer)
537: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 538: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 539: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
540: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 541: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
542: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 543: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 544: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 545: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 546: add killpg
1.110 fefe 547: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
548: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 549: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 550: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 551: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
552: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 553: add getserv*.
554: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
555: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 556:
1.73 fefe 557: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 558: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 559: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
560: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 561: add fnmatch
562: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 563: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 564: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
565: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
566: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 567: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 568: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 569: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 570:
1.64 fefe 571: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 572: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
573: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 574: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 575: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 576: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 577: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 578: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 579: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
580: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 581: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
582: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
583: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
584: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 585: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
586: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
587: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 588: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 589: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
590: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 591: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 592: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 593: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 594: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
595: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 596: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 597: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
598: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 599: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 600: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 601: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
602: everbody knows what to do with it...
603: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 604: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 605: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
606: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 607: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 608: added nice
609: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
610: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
611: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 612: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 613: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 614: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 615: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
616: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 617: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 618:
1.21 fefe 619: 0.7.2:
620: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
621: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 622: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
623: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
624: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
625: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
626: and daemon() ;-)
627: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
628: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
629: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 630: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 631: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
632: limits.h instead)
633: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
634: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 635: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
636: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 637: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 638: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
639: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 640: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 641: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 642: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 643: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 644: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 645:
1.9 fefe 646: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 647: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
648: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
649: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 650: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 651: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 652: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
653: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 654: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 655: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 656: added isupper and islower.
657: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 658: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
659: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 660: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 661: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 662: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
663: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 664:
665: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 666: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 667: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
668: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
669: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
670: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 671: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
672: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 673: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
674: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
675: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 676: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 677: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
678: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
679: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 680: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 681:
682: 0.6.14:
683: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
684: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
685: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
686: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
687: supported).
688: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
689: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
690:
691: 0.6.13:
692: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
693: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
694: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
695: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
696: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
697: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
698: this!
699: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
700: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
701:
702: 0.6.12:
703: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
704: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
705:
706: 0.6.11:
707: added putenv.
708:
709: 0.6.10:
710: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
711: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
712: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
713: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
714:
715: 0.6.9:
716: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
717: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
718: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
719: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
720: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
721: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
722:
723: 0.6.8:
724: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
725: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
726: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
727: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
728: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
729: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
730: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
731: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
732: the unrolling.
733: added sendfile.
734: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
735: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
736: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
737: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
738: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
739:
740: 0.6.7:
741: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
742: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
743: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
744: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
745: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
746: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
747: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
748: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
749: dietlibc headers.
750:
751: 0.6.6:
752: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
753: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
754: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
755: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
756: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
757: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
758: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
759: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
760: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
761: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
762: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
763: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
764:
765: 0.6.5:
766: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
767: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
768: functions.
769: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
770: several bugs.
771: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
772: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
773:
774: 0.6.4:
775: declared is* static inline in getservent.
776: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
777: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
778: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
779: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
780: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
781: of the box.
782: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
783: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
784: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
785: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
786: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
787: applications.
788: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
789: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
790: very often and are substantially faster.
791: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
792: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
793: proton (thanks, anyway).
794: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
795: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
796:
797: 0.6.3:
798: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
799: added isblank
800: added atol
801:
802: 0.6.2:
803: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
804:
805: 0.6.1:
806: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
807: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
808: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
809:
810: 0.6:
811: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
812: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
813: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
814: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
815: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
816: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
817: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
818: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
819: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
820: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
821: simplify the sources greatly.
822: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
823: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
824: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
825: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
826: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
827:
828: 0.5.12:
829: printf also does signed numbers.
830: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
831: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
832: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
833: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
834: return the number of bytes it would have written.
835: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
836: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
837: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
838: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
839: tell me!
840:
841: 0.5.11:
842: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
843: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
844: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
845: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
846: 2864 bytes on sparc
847: 2488 bytes on intel
848: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
849: to make a few more applications work.
850: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
851: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
852: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
853: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
854: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
855: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
856:
857: 0.5.10:
858: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
859: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
860: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
861: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
862: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
863: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
864: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
865: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
866: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
867: system call!)
868:
869: 0.5.9:
870: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
871: fixed strdup
872: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
873: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
874: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
875: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
876: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
877: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
878: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
879: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
880: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
881: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
882: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
883: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
884: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
885: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
886: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
887: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
888: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
889: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
890:
891: 0.5.8:
892: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
893:
894: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
895: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
896: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
897: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
898:
899: added execvp, getcwd
900:
901: fixed __xmknod
902:
903: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
904: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
905: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
906: not follow symlinks.
907:
908: 0.5.7:
909: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
910:
911: 0.5.6:
912: ported to ppc-linux.
913: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
914: included sigjmp.c
915:
916: 0.5.5:
917: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
918: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
919: I fixed it now.
920: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
921: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
922:
923: 0.5.4:
924: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
925: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
926:
927: 0.5.3:
928: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
929:
930: 0.5.2:
931: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
932: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
933: added localtime from uC-libc.
934:
935: 0.5.1:
936: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
937: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
938: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
939: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
940: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
941: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
942: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
943:
944: 0.5:
945: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
946: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
947: split each system call into a separate object file
948: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
949:
950: 0.4.1:
951: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
952:
953: 0.4:
954: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
955: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
956:
957: 0.3:
958: remove readdir system call
959: added getdents system call
960: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
961: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
962:
