1.332 olaf 115: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 116: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
117: the built-in defaults.

153: there?)
1.284 fefe 154: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 155: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
156: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
157: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
158: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 159: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work

198: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 199: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
200: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
201: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 202: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 203: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
204: libcompat
1.271 fefe 205: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.277 fefe 209: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
210: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
211: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 212: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 213: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 214: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before

1.264 fefe 216:
1.244 fefe 217: 0.16:
218: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 219: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
220: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 221: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
222: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 223: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
224: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
225: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
226: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 227: remove a few warnings
228: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 229: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
230: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 231: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 232: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 233: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
234: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 235: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
236: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 237: add getdelim and getline
238: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 239: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 240: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 248:
1.224 fefe 249: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 250: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 251: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 252: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
253: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 254: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
255: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 256: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
257: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
258: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
259: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
260: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
261: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 262: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
263: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
264: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
265: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
266: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 267: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 268: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
269: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
270: does it correctly.
271: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
272: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
273: buffer.
274: strftime updates.
275: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
276: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 277: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 278: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
279: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 280: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 281: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
282: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 283: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
284: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 285: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 286: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
287: on ARM.
288: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 289: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
290: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 291: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 292: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 293: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 294: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
295: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
296: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
297: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
298: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
299: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 300:
1.209 fefe 301: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 302: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 303: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
304: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 305: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
306: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 307: made the fake locale more believable.
308: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 309: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 310: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
311: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
312: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
313: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
314: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
315: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
316: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 317: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 318: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 319: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
320: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 321: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
322: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 323: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
324: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 325: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 326: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
327: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
328: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 329: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 330: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
331: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
332: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 333: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 334:
1.193 fefe 335: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 336: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 337: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 338: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 339: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 340: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 341: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 342: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 343: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 344: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 345: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 346: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 347: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
348: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
349: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
350: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 351: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 352: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
353: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 354: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 355: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 356: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 357:
1.164 fefe 358: 0.12:
359: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 360: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 361: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 362: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
363: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 364: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 365: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 366: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 367: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 368: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 369: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 370: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 371: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 372: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 373: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 374: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
375: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
376: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 377: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 378: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 379: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
380: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 381: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
382: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
383: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
384: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
385: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
386: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
387: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 388: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 389: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
390: do the same for getgrent and getspent
391: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 392: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 393: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 394: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 395: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
396: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
397: room ;)
1.188 fefe 398: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
399: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
400: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 401: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
402: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 403: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
404: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
405: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 406: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 407: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 408:
1.115 fefe 409: 0.11:
410: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 411: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 412: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
413: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 414: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
415: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
416: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
417: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 418: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 419: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
420: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
421: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 422: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
423: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
424: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 425: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
426: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 427: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 428: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 429: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 430: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 431: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 432: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
433: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
434: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 435: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
436: warning.
1.131 fefe 437: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 438: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 439: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
440: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
441: too)
1.134 fefe 442: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
443: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 444: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
445: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 446: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 447: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 448: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
449: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 450: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 451: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 452: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
453: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
454: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
455: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
456: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
457: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
458: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
459: behavior.
460: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
461: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 462: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
463: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 464: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
465: same problem.
466: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
467: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 468: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
469: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 470: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 471: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 472: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
473: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 474: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
475: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 476: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 477: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 478: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 479: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 480: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 481: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
482: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 483: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
484: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 485: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 486: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 487: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
488: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 489: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
490: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 491: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
492: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
493: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 494:
1.74 fefe 495: 0.10:
496: update getpagesize.
497: add personality.
1.75 fefe 498: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 499: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
500: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 501: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 502: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 503: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
504: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 505: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 506: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 507: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
508: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
509: heroic act of self-mutilation.
510: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 511: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
512: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
513: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 514: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 515: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 516: add res_init.
517: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 518: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 519: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
520: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 521: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.

1.94 fefe 523: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 524: add setenv.
525: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
526: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
527: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
528: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
529: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 530: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
531: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 532: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 533: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 534: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
535: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 536: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
537: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 538: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
539: bytes, not the buffer)
540: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 541: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 542: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
543: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 544: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
545: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 546: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 547: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 548: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 549: add killpg
1.110 fefe 550: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
551: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 552: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 553: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 554: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
555: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 556: add getserv*.
557: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
558: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 559:
1.73 fefe 560: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 561: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 562: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
563: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 564: add fnmatch
565: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 566: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 567: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
568: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
569: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 570: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 571: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 572: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 573:
1.64 fefe 574: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 575: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
576: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 577: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 578: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 579: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 580: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 581: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 582: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
583: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 584: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
585: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
586: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
587: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 588: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
589: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
590: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 591: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 592: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
593: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 594: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 595: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 596: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 597: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
598: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 599: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 600: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
601: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 602: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 603: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 604: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
605: everbody knows what to do with it...
606: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 607: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 608: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
609: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 610: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 611: added nice
612: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
613: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
614: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 615: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 616: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 617: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 618: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
619: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 620: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 621:
1.21 fefe 622: 0.7.2:
623: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
624: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 625: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
626: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
627: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
628: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
629: and daemon() ;-)
630: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
631: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
632: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 633: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 634: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
635: limits.h instead)
636: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
637: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 638: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
639: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 640: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 641: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
642: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 643: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 644: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 645: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 646: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 647: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 648:
1.9 fefe 649: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 650: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
651: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
652: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 653: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 654: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 655: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
656: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 657: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 658: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 659: added isupper and islower.
660: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 661: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
662: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 663: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 664: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 665: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
666: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 667:
668: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 669: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 670: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
671: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
672: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
673: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 674: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
675: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 676: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
677: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
678: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 679: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 680: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
681: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
682: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 683: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 684:
685: 0.6.14:
686: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
687: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
688: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
689: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
690: supported).
691: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
692: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
693:
694: 0.6.13:
695: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
696: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
697: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
698: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
699: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
700: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
701: this!
702: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
703: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
704:
705: 0.6.12:
706: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
707: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
708:
709: 0.6.11:
710: added putenv.
711:
712: 0.6.10:
713: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
714: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
715: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
716: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
717:
718: 0.6.9:
719: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
720: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
721: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
722: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
723: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
724: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
725:
726: 0.6.8:
727: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
728: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
729: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
730: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
731: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
732: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
733: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
734: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
735: the unrolling.
736: added sendfile.
737: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
738: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
739: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
740: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
741: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
742:
743: 0.6.7:
744: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
745: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
746: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
747: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
748: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
749: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
750: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
751: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
752: dietlibc headers.
753:
754: 0.6.6:
755: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
756: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
757: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
758: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
759: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
760: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
761: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
762: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
763: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
764: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
765: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
766: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
767:
768: 0.6.5:
769: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
770: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
771: functions.
772: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
773: several bugs.
774: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
775: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
776:
777: 0.6.4:
778: declared is* static inline in getservent.
779: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
780: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
781: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
782: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
783: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
784: of the box.
785: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
786: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
787: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
788: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
789: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
790: applications.
791: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
792: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
793: very often and are substantially faster.
794: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
795: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
796: proton (thanks, anyway).
797: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
798: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
799:
800: 0.6.3:
801: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
802: added isblank
803: added atol
804:
805: 0.6.2:
806: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
807:
808: 0.6.1:
809: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
810: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
811: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
812:
813: 0.6:
814: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
815: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
816: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
817: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
818: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
819: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
820: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
821: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
822: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
823: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
824: simplify the sources greatly.
825: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
826: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
827: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
828: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
829: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
830:
831: 0.5.12:
832: printf also does signed numbers.
833: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
834: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
835: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
836: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
837: return the number of bytes it would have written.
838: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
839: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
840: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
841: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
842: tell me!
843:
844: 0.5.11:
845: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
846: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
847: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
848: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
849: 2864 bytes on sparc
850: 2488 bytes on intel
851: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
852: to make a few more applications work.
853: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
854: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
855: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
856: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
857: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
858: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
859:
860: 0.5.10:
861: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
862: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
863: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
864: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
865: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
866: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
867: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
868: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
869: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
870: system call!)
871:
872: 0.5.9:
873: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
874: fixed strdup
875: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
876: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
877: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
878: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
879: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
880: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
881: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
882: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
883: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
884: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
885: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
886: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
887: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
888: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
889: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
890: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
891: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
892: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
893:
894: 0.5.8:
895: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
896:
897: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
898: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
899: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
900: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
901:
902: added execvp, getcwd
903:
904: fixed __xmknod
905:
906: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
907: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
908: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
909: not follow symlinks.
910:
911: 0.5.7:
912: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
913:
914: 0.5.6:
915: ported to ppc-linux.
916: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
917: included sigjmp.c
918:
919: 0.5.5:
920: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
921: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
922: I fixed it now.
923: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
924: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
925:
926: 0.5.4:
927: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
928: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
929:
930: 0.5.3:
931: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
932:
933: 0.5.2:
934: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
935: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
936: added localtime from uC-libc.
937:
938: 0.5.1:
939: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
940: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
941: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
942: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
943: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
944: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
945: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
946:
947: 0.5:
948: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
949: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
950: split each system call into a separate object file
951: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
952:
953: 0.4.1:
954: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
955:
956: 0.4:
957: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
958: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
959:
960: 0.3:
961: remove readdir system call
962: added getdents system call
963: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
964: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
965:
