1.263 fefe 325: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 326:
1.224 fefe 327: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 328: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 329: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 330: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
331: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 332: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
333: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 334: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
335: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
336: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
337: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
338: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
339: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 340: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
341: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
342: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
343: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
344: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 345: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 346: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
347: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
348: does it correctly.
349: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
350: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
351: buffer.
352: strftime updates.
353: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
354: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 355: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 356: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
357: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 358: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 359: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
360: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 361: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
362: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 363: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 364: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
365: on ARM.
366: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 367: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
368: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 369: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 370: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 371: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 372: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
373: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
374: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
375: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
376: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
377: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 378:
1.209 fefe 379: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 380: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 381: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
382: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 383: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
384: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 385: made the fake locale more believable.
386: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 387: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 388: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
389: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
390: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
391: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
392: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
393: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
394: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 395: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 396: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 397: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
398: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 399: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
400: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 401: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
402: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 403: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 404: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
405: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
406: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 407: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 408: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
409: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
410: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 411: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 412:
1.193 fefe 413: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 414: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 415: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 416: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 417: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 418: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 419: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 420: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 421: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 422: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 423: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 424: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 425: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
426: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
427: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
428: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 429: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 430: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
431: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 432: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 433: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 434: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 435:
1.164 fefe 436: 0.12:
437: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 438: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 439: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 440: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
441: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 442: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 443: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 444: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 445: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 446: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 447: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 448: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 449: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 450: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 451: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 452: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
453: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
454: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 455: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 456: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 457: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
458: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 459: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
460: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
461: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
462: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
463: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
464: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
465: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 466: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 467: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
468: do the same for getgrent and getspent
469: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 470: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 471: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 472: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 473: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
474: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
475: room ;)
1.188 fefe 476: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
477: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
478: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 479: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
480: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 481: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
482: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
483: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 484: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 485: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 486:
1.115 fefe 487: 0.11:
488: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 489: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 490: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
491: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 492: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
493: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
494: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
495: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 496: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 497: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
498: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
499: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 500: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
501: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 502: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 503: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
504: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 505: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 506: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 507: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 508: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 509: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 510: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
511: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
512: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 513: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
514: warning.
1.131 fefe 515: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 516: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 517: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
518: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
519: too)
1.134 fefe 520: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
521: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 522: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
523: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 524: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 525: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 526: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
527: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 528: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 529: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 530: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
531: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
532: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
533: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
534: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
535: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
536: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
537: behavior.
538: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
539: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 540: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
541: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 542: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
543: same problem.
544: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
545: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 546: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
547: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 548: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 549: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 550: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
551: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 552: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
553: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 554: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 555: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 556: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 557: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 558: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 559: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
560: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 561: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
562: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 563: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 564: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 565: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
566: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 567: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
568: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 569: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
570: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
571: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 572:
1.74 fefe 573: 0.10:
574: update getpagesize.
575: add personality.
1.75 fefe 576: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 577: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
578: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 579: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 580: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 581: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
582: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 583: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 584: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 585: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
586: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
587: heroic act of self-mutilation.
588: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 589: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
590: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
591: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 592: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 593: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 594: add res_init.
595: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 596: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 597: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
598: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 599: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 600: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 601: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 602: add setenv.
603: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
604: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
605: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
606: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
607: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 608: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
609: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 610: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 611: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 612: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
613: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 614: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
615: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 616: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
617: bytes, not the buffer)
618: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 619: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 620: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
621: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 622: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
623: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 624: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 625: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 626: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 627: add killpg
1.110 fefe 628: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
629: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 630: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 631: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 632: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
633: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 634: add getserv*.
635: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
636: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 637:
1.73 fefe 638: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 639: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 640: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
641: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 642: add fnmatch
643: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 644: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 645: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
646: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
647: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 648: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 649: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 650: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 651:
1.64 fefe 652: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 653: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
654: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 655: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 656: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 657: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 658: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 659: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 660: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
661: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 662: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
663: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
664: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
665: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 666: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
667: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
668: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 669: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 670: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
671: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 672: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 673: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 674: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 675: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
676: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 677: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 678: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
679: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 680: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 681: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 682: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
683: everbody knows what to do with it...
684: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 685: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 686: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
687: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 688: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 689: added nice
690: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
691: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
692: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 693: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 694: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 695: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 696: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
697: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 698: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 699:
1.21 fefe 700: 0.7.2:
701: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
702: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 703: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
704: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
705: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
706: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
707: and daemon() ;-)
708: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
709: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
710: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 711: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 712: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
713: limits.h instead)
714: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
715: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 716: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
717: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 718: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 719: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
720: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 721: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 722: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 723: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 724: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 725: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 726:
1.9 fefe 727: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 728: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
729: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
730: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 731: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 732: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 733: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
734: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 735: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 736: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 737: added isupper and islower.
738: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 739: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
740: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 741: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 742: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 743: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
744: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 745:
746: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 747: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 748: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
749: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
750: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
751: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 752: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
753: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 754: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
755: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
756: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 757: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 758: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
759: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
760: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 761: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 762:
763: 0.6.14:
764: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
765: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
766: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
767: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
768: supported).
769: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
770: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
771:
772: 0.6.13:
773: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
774: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
775: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
776: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
777: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
778: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
779: this!
780: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
781: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
782:
783: 0.6.12:
784: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
785: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
786:
787: 0.6.11:
788: added putenv.
789:
790: 0.6.10:
791: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
792: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
793: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
794: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
795:
796: 0.6.9:
797: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
798: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
799: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
800: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
801: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
802: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
803:
804: 0.6.8:
805: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
806: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
807: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
808: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
809: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
810: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
811: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
812: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
813: the unrolling.
814: added sendfile.
815: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
816: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
817: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
818: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
819: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
820:
821: 0.6.7:
822: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
823: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
824: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
825: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
826: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
827: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
828: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
829: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
830: dietlibc headers.
831:
832: 0.6.6:
833: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
834: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
835: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
836: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
837: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
838: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
839: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
840: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
841: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
842: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
843: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
844: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
845:
846: 0.6.5:
847: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
848: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
849: functions.
850: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
851: several bugs.
852: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
853: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
854:
855: 0.6.4:
856: declared is* static inline in getservent.
857: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
858: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
859: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
860: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
861: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
862: of the box.
863: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
864: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
865: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
866: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
867: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
868: applications.
869: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
870: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
871: very often and are substantially faster.
872: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
873: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
874: proton (thanks, anyway).
875: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
876: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
877:
878: 0.6.3:
879: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
880: added isblank
881: added atol
882:
883: 0.6.2:
884: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
885:
886: 0.6.1:
887: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
888: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
889: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
890:
891: 0.6:
892: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
893: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
894: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
895: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
896: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
897: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
898: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
899: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
900: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
901: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
902: simplify the sources greatly.
903: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
904: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
905: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
906: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
907: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
908:
909: 0.5.12:
910: printf also does signed numbers.
911: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
912: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
913: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
914: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
915: return the number of bytes it would have written.
916: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
917: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
918: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
919: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
920: tell me!
921:
922: 0.5.11:
923: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
924: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
925: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
926: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
927: 2864 bytes on sparc
928: 2488 bytes on intel
929: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
930: to make a few more applications work.
931: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
932: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
933: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
934: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
935: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
936: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
937:
938: 0.5.10:
939: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
940: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
941: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
942: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
943: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
944: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
945: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
946: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
947: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
948: system call!)
949:
950: 0.5.9:
951: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
952: fixed strdup
953: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
954: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
955: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
956: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
957: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
958: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
959: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
960: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
961: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
962: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
963: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
964: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
965: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
966: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
967: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
968: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
969: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
970: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
971:
972: 0.5.8:
973: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
974:
975: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
976: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
977: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
978: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
979:
980: added execvp, getcwd
981:
982: fixed __xmknod
983:
984: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
985: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
986: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
987: not follow symlinks.
988:
989: 0.5.7:
990: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
991:
992: 0.5.6:
993: ported to ppc-linux.
994: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
995: included sigjmp.c
996:
997: 0.5.5:
998: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
999: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1000: I fixed it now.
1001: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1002: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1003:
1004: 0.5.4:
1005: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1006: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1007:
1008: 0.5.3:
1009: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1010:
1011: 0.5.2:
1012: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1013: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1014: added localtime from uC-libc.
1015:
1016: 0.5.1:
1017: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1018: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1019: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1020: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1021: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1022: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1023: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1024:
1025: 0.5:
1026: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1027: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1028: split each system call into a separate object file
1029: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1030:
1031: 0.4.1:
1032: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1033:
1034: 0.4:
1035: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1036: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1037:
1038: 0.3:
1039: remove readdir system call
1040: added getdents system call
1041: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1042: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
1043:
