1.278 fefe 324: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 325: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 326: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
327: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 328:
1.244 fefe 329: 0.16:
330: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 331: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
332: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 333: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
334: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 335: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
336: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
337: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
338: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 339: remove a few warnings
340: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 341: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
342: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 343: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 344: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 345: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
346: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 347: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
348: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 349: add getdelim and getline
350: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 351: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 352: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 353: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 354: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 355: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav
356: Macodiseas)
1.261 fefe 357: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 358: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 359: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 360:
1.224 fefe 361: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 362: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 363: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 364: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
365: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 366: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
367: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 368: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
369: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
370: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
371: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
372: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
373: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 374: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
375: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
376: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
377: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
378: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 379: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 380: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
381: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
382: does it correctly.
383: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
384: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
385: buffer.
386: strftime updates.
387: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
388: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 389: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 390: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
391: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 392: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 393: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
394: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 395: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
396: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 397: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 398: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
399: on ARM.
400: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 401: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
402: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 403: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 404: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 405: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 406: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
407: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
408: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
409: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
410: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
411: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 412:
1.209 fefe 413: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 414: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 415: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
416: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 417: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
418: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 419: made the fake locale more believable.
420: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 421: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 422: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
423: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
424: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
425: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
426: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
427: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
428: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 429: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 430: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 431: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
432: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 433: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
434: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 435: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
436: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 437: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 438: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
439: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
440: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 441: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 442: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
443: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
444: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 445: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 446:
1.193 fefe 447: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 448: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 449: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 450: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 451: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 452: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 453: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 454: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 455: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 456: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 457: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 458: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 459: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
460: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
461: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
462: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 463: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 464: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
465: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 466: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 467: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 468: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 469:
1.164 fefe 470: 0.12:
471: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 472: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 473: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 474: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
475: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 476: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 477: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 478: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 479: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 480: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 481: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 482: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 483: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 484: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 485: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 486: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
487: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
488: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 489: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 490: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 491: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
492: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 493: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
494: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
495: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
496: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
497: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
498: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
499: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 500: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 501: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
502: do the same for getgrent and getspent
503: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 504: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 505: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 506: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 507: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
508: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
509: room ;)
1.188 fefe 510: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
511: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
512: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 513: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
514: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 515: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
516: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
517: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 518: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 519: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 520:
1.115 fefe 521: 0.11:
522: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 523: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 524: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
525: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 526: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
527: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
528: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
529: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 530: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 531: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
532: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
533: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 534: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
535: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 536: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 537: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
538: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 539: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 540: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 541: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 542: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 543: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 544: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
545: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
546: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 547: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
548: warning.
1.131 fefe 549: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 550: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 551: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
552: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
553: too)
1.134 fefe 554: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
555: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 556: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
557: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 558: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 559: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 560: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
561: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 562: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 563: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 564: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
565: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
566: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
567: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
568: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
569: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
570: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
571: behavior.
572: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
573: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 574: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
575: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 576: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
577: same problem.
578: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
579: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 580: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
581: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 582: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 583: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 584: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
585: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 586: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
587: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 588: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 589: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 590: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 591: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 592: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 593: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
594: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 595: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
596: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 597: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 598: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 599: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
600: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 601: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
602: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 603: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
604: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
605: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 606:
1.74 fefe 607: 0.10:
608: update getpagesize.
609: add personality.
1.75 fefe 610: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 611: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
612: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 613: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 614: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 615: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
616: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 617: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 618: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 619: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
620: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
621: heroic act of self-mutilation.
622: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 623: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
624: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
625: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 626: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 627: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 628: add res_init.
629: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 630: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 631: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
632: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 633: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 634: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 635: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 636: add setenv.
637: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
638: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
639: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
640: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
641: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 642: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
643: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 644: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 645: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 646: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
647: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 648: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
649: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 650: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
651: bytes, not the buffer)
652: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 653: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 654: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
655: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 656: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
657: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 658: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 659: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 660: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 661: add killpg
1.110 fefe 662: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
663: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 664: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 665: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 666: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
667: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 668: add getserv*.
669: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
670: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 671:
1.73 fefe 672: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 673: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 674: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
675: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 676: add fnmatch
677: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 678: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 679: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
680: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
681: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 682: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 683: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 684: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 685:
1.64 fefe 686: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 687: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
688: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 689: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 690: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 691: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 692: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 693: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 694: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
695: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 696: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
697: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
698: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
699: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 700: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
701: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
702: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 703: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 704: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
705: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 706: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 707: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 708: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 709: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
710: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 711: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 712: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
713: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 714: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 715: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 716: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
717: everbody knows what to do with it...
718: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 719: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 720: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
721: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 722: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 723: added nice
724: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
725: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
726: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 727: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 728: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 729: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 730: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
731: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 732: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 733:
1.21 fefe 734: 0.7.2:
735: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
736: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 737: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
738: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
739: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
740: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
741: and daemon() ;-)
742: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
743: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
744: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 745: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 746: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
747: limits.h instead)
748: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
749: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 750: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
751: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 752: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 753: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
754: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 755: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 756: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 757: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 758: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 759: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 760:
1.9 fefe 761: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 762: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
763: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
764: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 765: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 766: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 767: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
768: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 769: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 770: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 771: added isupper and islower.
772: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 773: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
774: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 775: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 776: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 777: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
778: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 779:
780: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 781: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 782: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
783: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
784: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
785: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 786: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
787: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 788: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
789: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
790: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 791: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 792: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
793: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
794: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 795: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 796:
797: 0.6.14:
798: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
799: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
800: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
801: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
802: supported).
803: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
804: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
805:
806: 0.6.13:
807: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
808: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
809: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
810: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
811: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
812: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
813: this!
814: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
815: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
816:
817: 0.6.12:
818: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
819: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
820:
821: 0.6.11:
822: added putenv.
823:
824: 0.6.10:
825: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
826: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
827: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
828: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
829:
830: 0.6.9:
831: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
832: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
833: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
834: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
835: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
836: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
837:
838: 0.6.8:
839: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
840: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
841: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
842: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
843: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
844: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
845: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
846: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
847: the unrolling.
848: added sendfile.
849: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
850: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
851: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
852: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
853: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
854:
855: 0.6.7:
856: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
857: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
858: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
859: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
860: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
861: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
862: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
863: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
864: dietlibc headers.
865:
866: 0.6.6:
867: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
868: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
869: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
870: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
871: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
872: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
873: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
874: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
875: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
876: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
877: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
878: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
879:
880: 0.6.5:
881: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
882: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
883: functions.
884: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
885: several bugs.
886: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
887: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
888:
889: 0.6.4:
890: declared is* static inline in getservent.
891: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
892: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
893: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
894: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
895: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
896: of the box.
897: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
898: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
899: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
900: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
901: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
902: applications.
903: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
904: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
905: very often and are substantially faster.
906: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
907: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
908: proton (thanks, anyway).
909: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
910: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
911:
912: 0.6.3:
913: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
914: added isblank
915: added atol
916:
917: 0.6.2:
918: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
919:
920: 0.6.1:
921: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
922: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
923: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
924:
925: 0.6:
926: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
927: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
928: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
929: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
930: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
931: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
932: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
933: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
934: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
935: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
936: simplify the sources greatly.
937: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
938: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
939: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
940: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
941: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
942:
943: 0.5.12:
944: printf also does signed numbers.
945: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
946: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
947: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
948: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
949: return the number of bytes it would have written.
950: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
951: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
952: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
953: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
954: tell me!
955:
956: 0.5.11:
957: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
958: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
959: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
960: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
961: 2864 bytes on sparc
962: 2488 bytes on intel
963: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
964: to make a few more applications work.
965: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
966: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
967: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
968: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
969: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
970: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
971:
972: 0.5.10:
973: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
974: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
975: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
976: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
977: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
978: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
979: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
980: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
981: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
982: system call!)
983:
984: 0.5.9:
985: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
986: fixed strdup
987: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
988: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
989: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
990: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
991: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
992: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
993: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
994: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
995: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
996: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
997: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
998: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
999: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1000: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1001: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1002: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1003: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1004: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1005:
1006: 0.5.8:
1007: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1008:
1009: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1010: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1011: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1012: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1013:
1014: added execvp, getcwd
1015:
1016: fixed __xmknod
1017:
1018: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1019: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1020: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1021: not follow symlinks.
1022:
1023: 0.5.7:
1024: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1025:
1026: 0.5.6:
1027: ported to ppc-linux.
1028: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1029: included sigjmp.c
1030:
1031: 0.5.5:
1032: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1033: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1034: I fixed it now.
1035: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1036: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1037:
1038: 0.5.4:
1039: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1040: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1041:
1042: 0.5.3:
1043: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1044:
1045: 0.5.2:
1046: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1047: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1048: added localtime from uC-libc.
1049:
1050: 0.5.1:
1051: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1052: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1053: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1054: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1055: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1056: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1057: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1058:
1059: 0.5:
1060: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1061: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1062: split each system call into a separate object file
1063: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1064:
1065: 0.4.1:
1066: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1067:
1068: 0.4:
1069: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1070: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1071:
1072: 0.3:
1073: remove readdir system call
1074: added getdents system call
1075: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1076: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
1077:
LinuxTV legacy CVS <linuxtv.org/cvs>
