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

151: there?)
1.284 fefe 152: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 153: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
154: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
155: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
156: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 157: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work

1.267 fefe 195: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
196: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 197: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
198: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
199: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 200: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 201: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
202: libcompat
1.271 fefe 203: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.277 fefe 207: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
208: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
209: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 210: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 211: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 212: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
213: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 214:
1.244 fefe 215: 0.16:
216: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 217: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
218: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 219: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
220: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 221: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
222: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
223: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
224: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 225: remove a few warnings
226: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 227: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
228: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 229: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 230: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 231: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
232: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 233: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
234: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 235: add getdelim and getline
236: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 237: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 238: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 246:
1.224 fefe 247: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 248: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 249: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 250: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
251: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 252: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
253: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 254: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
255: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
256: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
257: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
258: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
259: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 260: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
261: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
262: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
263: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
264: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 265: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 266: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
267: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
268: does it correctly.
269: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
270: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
271: buffer.
272: strftime updates.
273: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
274: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 275: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 276: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
277: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 278: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 279: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
280: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 281: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
282: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 283: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 284: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
285: on ARM.
286: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 287: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
288: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 289: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 290: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 291: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 292: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
293: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
294: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
295: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
296: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
297: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 298:
1.209 fefe 299: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 300: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 301: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
302: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 303: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
304: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 305: made the fake locale more believable.
306: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 307: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 308: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
309: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
310: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
311: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
312: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
313: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
314: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 315: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 316: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 317: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
318: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 319: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
320: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 321: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
322: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 323: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 324: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
325: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
326: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 327: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 328: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
329: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
330: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 331: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 332:
1.193 fefe 333: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 334: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 335: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 336: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 337: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 338: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 339: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 340: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 341: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 342: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 343: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 344: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 345: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
346: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
347: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
348: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 349: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 350: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
351: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 352: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 353: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 354: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 355:
1.164 fefe 356: 0.12:
357: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 358: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 359: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 360: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
361: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 362: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 363: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 364: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 365: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 366: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 367: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 368: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 369: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 370: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 371: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 372: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
373: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
374: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 375: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 376: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 377: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
378: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 379: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
380: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
381: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
382: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
383: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
384: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
385: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 386: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 387: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
388: do the same for getgrent and getspent
389: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 390: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 391: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 392: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 393: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
394: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
395: room ;)
1.188 fefe 396: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
397: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
398: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 399: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
400: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 401: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
402: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
403: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 404: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 405: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 406:
1.115 fefe 407: 0.11:
408: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 409: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 410: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
411: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 412: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
413: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
414: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
415: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 416: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 417: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
418: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
419: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 420: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
421: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
422: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 423: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
424: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 425: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 426: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 427: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 428: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 429: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 430: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
431: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
432: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 433: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
434: warning.
1.131 fefe 435: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 436: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 437: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
438: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
439: too)
1.134 fefe 440: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
441: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 442: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
443: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 444: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 445: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 446: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
447: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 448: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 449: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 450: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
451: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
452: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
453: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
454: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
455: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
456: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
457: behavior.
458: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
459: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 460: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
461: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 462: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
463: same problem.
464: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
465: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 466: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
467: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 468: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 469: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 470: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
471: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 472: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
473: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 474: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 475: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 476: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 477: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 478: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 479: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
480: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 481: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
482: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 483: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 484: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 485: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
486: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 487: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
488: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 489: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
490: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
491: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 492:
1.74 fefe 493: 0.10:
494: update getpagesize.
495: add personality.
1.75 fefe 496: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 497: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
498: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 499: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 500: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 501: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
502: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 503: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 504: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 505: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
506: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
507: heroic act of self-mutilation.
508: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 509: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
510: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
511: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 512: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 513: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 514: add res_init.
515: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 516: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 517: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
518: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 519: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.

1.94 fefe 521: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 522: add setenv.
523: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
524: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
525: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
526: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
527: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 528: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
529: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 530: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 531: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 532: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
533: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 534: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
535: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 536: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
537: bytes, not the buffer)
538: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 539: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 540: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
541: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 542: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
543: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 544: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 545: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 546: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 547: add killpg
1.110 fefe 548: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
549: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 550: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 551: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 552: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
553: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 554: add getserv*.
555: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
556: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 557:
1.73 fefe 558: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 559: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 560: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
561: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 562: add fnmatch
563: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 564: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 565: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
566: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
567: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 568: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 569: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 570: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 571:
1.64 fefe 572: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 573: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
574: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 575: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 576: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 577: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 578: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 579: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 580: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
581: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 582: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
583: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
584: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
585: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 586: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
587: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
588: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 589: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 590: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
591: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 592: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 593: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 594: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 595: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
596: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 597: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 598: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
599: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 600: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 601: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 602: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
603: everbody knows what to do with it...
604: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 605: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 606: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
607: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 608: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 609: added nice
610: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
611: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
612: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 613: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 614: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 615: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 616: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
617: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 618: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 619:
1.21 fefe 620: 0.7.2:
621: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
622: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 623: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
624: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
625: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
626: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
627: and daemon() ;-)
628: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
629: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
630: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 631: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 632: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
633: limits.h instead)
634: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
635: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 636: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
637: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 638: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 639: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
640: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 641: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 642: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 643: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 644: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 645: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 646:
1.9 fefe 647: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 648: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
649: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
650: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 651: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 652: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 653: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
654: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 655: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 656: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 657: added isupper and islower.
658: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 659: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
660: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 661: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 662: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 663: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
664: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 665:
666: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 667: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 668: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
669: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
670: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
671: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 672: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
673: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 674: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
675: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
676: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 677: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 678: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
679: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
680: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 681: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 682:
683: 0.6.14:
684: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
685: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
686: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
687: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
688: supported).
689: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
690: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
691:
692: 0.6.13:
693: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
694: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
695: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
696: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
697: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
698: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
699: this!
700: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
701: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
702:
703: 0.6.12:
704: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
705: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
706:
707: 0.6.11:
708: added putenv.
709:
710: 0.6.10:
711: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
712: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
713: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
714: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
715:
716: 0.6.9:
717: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
718: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
719: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
720: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
721: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
722: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
723:
724: 0.6.8:
725: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
726: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
727: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
728: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
729: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
730: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
731: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
732: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
733: the unrolling.
734: added sendfile.
735: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
736: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
737: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
738: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
739: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
740:
741: 0.6.7:
742: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
743: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
744: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
745: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
746: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
747: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
748: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
749: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
750: dietlibc headers.
751:
752: 0.6.6:
753: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
754: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
755: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
756: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
757: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
758: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
759: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
760: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
761: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
762: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
763: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
764: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
765:
766: 0.6.5:
767: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
768: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
769: functions.
770: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
771: several bugs.
772: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
773: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
774:
775: 0.6.4:
776: declared is* static inline in getservent.
777: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
778: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
779: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
780: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
781: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
782: of the box.
783: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
784: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
785: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
786: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
787: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
788: applications.
789: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
790: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
791: very often and are substantially faster.
792: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
793: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
794: proton (thanks, anyway).
795: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
796: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
797:
798: 0.6.3:
799: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
800: added isblank
801: added atol
802:
803: 0.6.2:
804: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
805:
806: 0.6.1:
807: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
808: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
809: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
810:
811: 0.6:
812: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
813: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
814: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
815: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
816: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
817: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
818: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
819: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
820: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
821: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
822: simplify the sources greatly.
823: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
824: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
825: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
826: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
827: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
828:
829: 0.5.12:
830: printf also does signed numbers.
831: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
832: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
833: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
834: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
835: return the number of bytes it would have written.
836: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
837: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
838: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
839: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
840: tell me!
841:
842: 0.5.11:
843: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
844: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
845: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
846: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
847: 2864 bytes on sparc
848: 2488 bytes on intel
849: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
850: to make a few more applications work.
851: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
852: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
853: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
854: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
855: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
856: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
857:
858: 0.5.10:
859: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
860: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
861: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
862: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
863: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
864: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
865: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
866: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
867: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
868: system call!)
869:
870: 0.5.9:
871: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
872: fixed strdup
873: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
874: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
875: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
876: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
877: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
878: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
879: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
880: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
881: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
882: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
883: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
884: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
885: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
886: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
887: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
888: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
889: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
890: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
891:
892: 0.5.8:
893: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
894:
895: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
896: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
897: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
898: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
899:
900: added execvp, getcwd
901:
902: fixed __xmknod
903:
904: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
905: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
906: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
907: not follow symlinks.
908:
909: 0.5.7:
910: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
911:
912: 0.5.6:
913: ported to ppc-linux.
914: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
915: included sigjmp.c
916:
917: 0.5.5:
918: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
919: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
920: I fixed it now.
921: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
922: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
923:
924: 0.5.4:
925: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
926: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
927:
928: 0.5.3:
929: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
930:
931: 0.5.2:
932: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
933: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
934: added localtime from uC-libc.
935:
936: 0.5.1:
937: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
938: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
939: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
940: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
941: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
942: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
943: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
944:
945: 0.5:
946: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
947: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
948: split each system call into a separate object file
949: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
950:
951: 0.4.1:
952: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
953:
954: 0.4:
955: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
956: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
957:
958: 0.3:
959: remove readdir system call
960: added getdents system call
961: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
962: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
963:
