273: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
274: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
275: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
276: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
277: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 278: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
279: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!

1.236 fefe 297: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
298: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 299: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
300: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 301: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 302: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
303: on ARM.
304: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot

1.242 fefe 309: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 310: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
311: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
312: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
313: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
314: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
315: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 316:
1.209 fefe 317: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 318: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 319: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
320: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 321: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
322: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 323: made the fake locale more believable.
324: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 325: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 326: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
327: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
328: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
329: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
330: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
331: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
332: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 333: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 334: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 335: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
336: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 337: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
338: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 339: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
340: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 341: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 342: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
343: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
344: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 345: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 346: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
347: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
348: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 349: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 350:
1.193 fefe 351: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 352: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 353: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 354: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 355: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 356: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 357: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 358: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 359: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 360: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 361: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 362: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 363: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
364: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
365: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
366: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 367: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 368: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
369: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 370: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 371: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 372: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 373:
1.164 fefe 374: 0.12:
375: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 376: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 377: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 378: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
379: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 380: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 381: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 382: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 383: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 384: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 385: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 386: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 387: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 388: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 389: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 390: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
391: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
392: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 393: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 394: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 395: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
396: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 397: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
398: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
399: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
400: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
401: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
402: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
403: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 404: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 405: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
406: do the same for getgrent and getspent
407: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 408: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 409: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 410: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 411: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
412: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
413: room ;)
1.188 fefe 414: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
415: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
416: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 417: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
418: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 419: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
420: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
421: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 422: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 423: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 424:
1.115 fefe 425: 0.11:
426: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 427: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 428: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
429: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 430: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
431: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
432: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
433: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 434: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 435: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
436: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
437: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 438: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
439: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
440: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 441: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
442: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 443: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 444: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 445: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 446: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 447: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 448: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
449: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
450: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 451: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
452: warning.
1.131 fefe 453: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 454: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 455: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
456: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
457: too)
1.134 fefe 458: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
459: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 460: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
461: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 462: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 463: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 464: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
465: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 466: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 467: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 468: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
469: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
470: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
471: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
472: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
473: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
474: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
475: behavior.
476: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
477: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 478: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
479: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 480: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
481: same problem.
482: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
483: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 484: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
485: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 486: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 487: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 488: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
489: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 490: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
491: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 492: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 493: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 494: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 495: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 496: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 497: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
498: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 499: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
500: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 501: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 502: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 503: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
504: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 505: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
506: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 507: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
508: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
509: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 510:
1.74 fefe 511: 0.10:
512: update getpagesize.
513: add personality.
1.75 fefe 514: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 515: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
516: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 517: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 518: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 519: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
520: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 521: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 522: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 523: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
524: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
525: heroic act of self-mutilation.
526: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 527: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
528: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
529: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 530: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 531: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 532: add res_init.
533: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 534: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 535: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
536: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.

1.94 fefe 539: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 540: add setenv.
541: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
542: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
543: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
544: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
545: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 546: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
547: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 548: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 549: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 550: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
551: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 552: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
553: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 554: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
555: bytes, not the buffer)
556: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 557: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 558: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
559: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 560: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
561: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 562: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.

1.108 fefe 564: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 565: add killpg
1.110 fefe 566: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
567: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 568: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 569: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 570: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
571: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 572: add getserv*.
573: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
574: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 575:
1.73 fefe 576: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 577: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 578: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
579: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 580: add fnmatch
581: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 582: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 583: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
584: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
585: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 586: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 587: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 588: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 589:
1.64 fefe 590: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 591: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
592: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 593: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 594: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 595: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 596: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 597: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 598: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
599: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 600: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
601: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
602: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
603: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 604: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
605: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
606: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 607: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 608: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
609: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 610: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 611: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 612: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 613: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
614: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 615: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 616: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
617: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 618: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 619: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 620: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
621: everbody knows what to do with it...
622: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 623: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 624: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
625: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 626: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 627: added nice
628: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
629: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
630: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 631: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 632: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 633: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 634: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
635: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 636: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 637:
1.21 fefe 638: 0.7.2:
639: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
640: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 641: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
642: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
643: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
644: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
645: and daemon() ;-)
646: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
647: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
648: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 649: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 650: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
651: limits.h instead)
652: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
653: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 654: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
655: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 656: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 657: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
658: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 659: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 660: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 661: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 662: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 663: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 664:
1.9 fefe 665: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 666: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
667: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
668: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 669: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 670: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 671: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
672: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 673: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 674: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 675: added isupper and islower.
676: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 677: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
678: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 679: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 680: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 681: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
682: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 683:
684: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 685: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 686: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
687: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
688: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
689: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 690: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
691: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 692: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
693: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
694: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 695: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 696: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
697: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
698: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 699: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 700:
701: 0.6.14:
702: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
703: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
704: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
705: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
706: supported).
707: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
708: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
709:
710: 0.6.13:
711: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
712: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
713: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
714: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
715: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
716: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
717: this!
718: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
719: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
720:
721: 0.6.12:
722: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
723: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
724:
725: 0.6.11:
726: added putenv.
727:
728: 0.6.10:
729: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
730: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
731: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
732: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
733:
734: 0.6.9:
735: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
736: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
737: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
738: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
739: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
740: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
741:
742: 0.6.8:
743: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
744: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
745: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
746: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
747: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
748: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
749: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
750: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
751: the unrolling.
752: added sendfile.
753: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
754: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
755: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
756: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
757: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
758:
759: 0.6.7:
760: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
761: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
762: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
763: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
764: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
765: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
766: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
767: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
768: dietlibc headers.
769:
770: 0.6.6:
771: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
772: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
773: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
774: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
775: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
776: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
777: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
778: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
779: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
780: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
781: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
782: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
783:
784: 0.6.5:
785: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
786: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
787: functions.
788: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
789: several bugs.
790: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
791: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
792:
793: 0.6.4:
794: declared is* static inline in getservent.
795: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
796: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
797: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
798: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
799: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
800: of the box.
801: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
802: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
803: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
804: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
805: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
806: applications.
807: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
808: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
809: very often and are substantially faster.
810: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
811: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
812: proton (thanks, anyway).
813: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
814: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
815:
816: 0.6.3:
817: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
818: added isblank
819: added atol
820:
821: 0.6.2:
822: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
823:
824: 0.6.1:
825: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
826: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
827: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
828:
829: 0.6:
830: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
831: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
832: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
833: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
834: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
835: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
836: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
837: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
838: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
839: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
840: simplify the sources greatly.
841: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
842: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
843: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
844: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
845: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
846:
847: 0.5.12:
848: printf also does signed numbers.
849: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
850: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
851: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
852: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
853: return the number of bytes it would have written.
854: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
855: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
856: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
857: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
858: tell me!
859:
860: 0.5.11:
861: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
862: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
863: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
864: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
865: 2864 bytes on sparc
866: 2488 bytes on intel
867: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
868: to make a few more applications work.
869: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
870: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
871: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
872: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
873: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
874: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
875:
876: 0.5.10:
877: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
878: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
879: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
880: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
881: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
882: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
883: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
884: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
885: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
886: system call!)
887:
888: 0.5.9:
889: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
890: fixed strdup
891: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
892: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
893: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
894: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
895: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
896: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
897: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
898: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
899: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
900: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
901: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
902: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
903: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
904: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
905: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
906: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
907: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
908: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
909:
910: 0.5.8:
911: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
912:
913: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
914: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
915: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
916: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
917:
918: added execvp, getcwd
919:
920: fixed __xmknod
921:
922: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
923: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
924: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
925: not follow symlinks.
926:
927: 0.5.7:
928: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
929:
930: 0.5.6:
931: ported to ppc-linux.
932: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
933: included sigjmp.c
934:
935: 0.5.5:
936: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
937: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
938: I fixed it now.
939: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
940: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
941:
942: 0.5.4:
943: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
944: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
945:
946: 0.5.3:
947: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
948:
949: 0.5.2:
950: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
951: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
952: added localtime from uC-libc.
953:
954: 0.5.1:
955: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
956: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
957: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
958: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
959: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
960: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
961: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
962:
963: 0.5:
964: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
965: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
966: split each system call into a separate object file
967: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
968:
969: 0.4.1:
970: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
971:
972: 0.4:
973: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
974: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
975:
976: 0.3:
977: remove readdir system call
978: added getdents system call
979: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
980: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
981:
