1.275 fefe 324: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 325: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 326: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
327: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
328: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 329: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 330: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 331: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
332: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 333:
1.244 fefe 334: 0.16:
335: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 336: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
337: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 338: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
339: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 340: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
341: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
342: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
343: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 344: remove a few warnings
345: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 346: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
347: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 348: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 349: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 350: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
351: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 352: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
353: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 354: add getdelim and getline
355: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 356: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 357: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 358: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 359: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 360: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav
361: Macodiseas)
1.261 fefe 362: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 363: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 364: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 365:
1.224 fefe 366: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 367: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 368: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 369: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
370: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 371: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
372: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 373: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
374: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
375: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
376: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
377: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
378: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 379: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
380: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
381: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
382: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
383: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 384: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 385: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
386: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
387: does it correctly.
388: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
389: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
390: buffer.
391: strftime updates.
392: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
393: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 394: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 395: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
396: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 397: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 398: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
399: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 400: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
401: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 402: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 403: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
404: on ARM.
405: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 406: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
407: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 408: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 409: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 410: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 411: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
412: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
413: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
414: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
415: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
416: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 417:
1.209 fefe 418: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 419: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 420: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
421: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 422: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
423: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 424: made the fake locale more believable.
425: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 426: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 427: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
428: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
429: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
430: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
431: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
432: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
433: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 434: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 435: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 436: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
437: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 438: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
439: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 440: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
441: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 442: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 443: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
444: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
445: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 446: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 447: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
448: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
449: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 450: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 451:
1.193 fefe 452: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 453: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 454: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 455: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 456: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 457: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 458: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 459: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 460: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 461: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 462: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 463: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 464: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
465: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
466: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
467: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 468: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 469: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
470: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 471: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 472: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 473: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 474:
1.164 fefe 475: 0.12:
476: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 477: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 478: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 479: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
480: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 481: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 482: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 483: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 484: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 485: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 486: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 487: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 488: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 489: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 490: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 491: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
492: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
493: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 494: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 495: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 496: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
497: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 498: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
499: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
500: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
501: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
502: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
503: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
504: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 505: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 506: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
507: do the same for getgrent and getspent
508: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 509: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 510: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 511: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 512: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
513: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
514: room ;)
1.188 fefe 515: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
516: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
517: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 518: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
519: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 520: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
521: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
522: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 523: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 524: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 525:
1.115 fefe 526: 0.11:
527: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 528: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 529: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
530: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 531: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
532: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
533: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
534: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 535: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 536: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
537: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
538: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 539: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
540: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 541: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 542: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
543: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 544: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 545: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 546: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 547: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 548: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 549: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
550: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
551: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 552: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
553: warning.
1.131 fefe 554: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 555: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 556: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
557: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
558: too)
1.134 fefe 559: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
560: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 561: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
562: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 563: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 564: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 565: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
566: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 567: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 568: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 569: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
570: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
571: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
572: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
573: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
574: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
575: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
576: behavior.
577: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
578: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 579: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
580: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 581: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
582: same problem.
583: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
584: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 585: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
586: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 587: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 588: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 589: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
590: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 591: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
592: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 593: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 594: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 595: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 596: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 597: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 598: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
599: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 600: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
601: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 602: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 603: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 604: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
605: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 606: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
607: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 608: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
609: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
610: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 611:
1.74 fefe 612: 0.10:
613: update getpagesize.
614: add personality.
1.75 fefe 615: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 616: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
617: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 618: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 619: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 620: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
621: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 622: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 623: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 624: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
625: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
626: heroic act of self-mutilation.
627: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 628: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
629: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
630: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 631: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 632: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 633: add res_init.
634: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 635: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 636: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
637: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 638: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 639: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 640: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 641: add setenv.
642: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
643: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
644: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
645: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
646: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 647: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
648: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 649: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 650: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 651: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
652: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 653: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
654: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 655: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
656: bytes, not the buffer)
657: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 658: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 659: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
660: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 661: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
662: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 663: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.

1.108 fefe 665: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 666: add killpg
1.110 fefe 667: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
668: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 669: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 670: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 671: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
672: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 673: add getserv*.
674: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
675: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 676:
1.73 fefe 677: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 678: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 679: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
680: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 681: add fnmatch
682: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 683: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 684: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
685: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
686: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 687: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 688: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 689: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 690:
1.64 fefe 691: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 692: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
693: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 694: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 695: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 696: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 697: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 698: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 699: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
700: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 701: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
702: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
703: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
704: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 705: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
706: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
707: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 708: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 709: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
710: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 711: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 712: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 713: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 714: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
715: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 716: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 717: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
718: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 719: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 720: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 721: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
722: everbody knows what to do with it...
723: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 724: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 725: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
726: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 727: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 728: added nice
729: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
730: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
731: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 732: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 733: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 734: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 735: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
736: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 737: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 738:
1.21 fefe 739: 0.7.2:
740: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
741: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 742: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
743: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
744: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
745: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
746: and daemon() ;-)
747: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
748: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
749: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 750: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 751: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
752: limits.h instead)
753: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
754: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 755: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
756: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 757: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 758: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
759: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 760: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 761: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 762: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 763: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 764: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 765:
1.9 fefe 766: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 767: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
768: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
769: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 770: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 771: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 772: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
773: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 774: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 775: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 776: added isupper and islower.
777: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 778: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
779: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 780: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 781: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 782: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
783: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 784:
785: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 786: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 787: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
788: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
789: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
790: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 791: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
792: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 793: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
794: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
795: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 796: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 797: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
798: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
799: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 800: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 801:
802: 0.6.14:
803: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
804: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
805: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
806: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
807: supported).
808: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
809: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
810:
811: 0.6.13:
812: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
813: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
814: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
815: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
816: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
817: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
818: this!
819: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
820: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
821:
822: 0.6.12:
823: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
824: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
825:
826: 0.6.11:
827: added putenv.
828:
829: 0.6.10:
830: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
831: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
832: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
833: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
834:
835: 0.6.9:
836: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
837: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
838: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
839: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
840: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
841: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
842:
843: 0.6.8:
844: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
845: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
846: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
847: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
848: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
849: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
850: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
851: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
852: the unrolling.
853: added sendfile.
854: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
855: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
856: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
857: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
858: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
859:
860: 0.6.7:
861: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
862: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
863: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
864: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
865: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
866: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
867: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
868: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
869: dietlibc headers.
870:
871: 0.6.6:
872: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
873: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
874: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
875: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
876: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
877: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
878: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
879: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
880: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
881: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
882: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
883: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
884:
885: 0.6.5:
886: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
887: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
888: functions.
889: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
890: several bugs.
891: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
892: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
893:
894: 0.6.4:
895: declared is* static inline in getservent.
896: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
897: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
898: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
899: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
900: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
901: of the box.
902: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
903: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
904: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
905: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
906: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
907: applications.
908: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
909: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
910: very often and are substantially faster.
911: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
912: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
913: proton (thanks, anyway).
914: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
915: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
916:
917: 0.6.3:
918: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
919: added isblank
920: added atol
921:
922: 0.6.2:
923: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
924:
925: 0.6.1:
926: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
927: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
928: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
929:
930: 0.6:
931: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
932: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
933: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
934: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
935: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
936: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
937: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
938: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
939: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
940: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
941: simplify the sources greatly.
942: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
943: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
944: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
945: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
946: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
947:
948: 0.5.12:
949: printf also does signed numbers.
950: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
951: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
952: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
953: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
954: return the number of bytes it would have written.
955: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
956: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
957: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
958: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
959: tell me!
960:
961: 0.5.11:
962: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
963: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
964: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
965: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
966: 2864 bytes on sparc
967: 2488 bytes on intel
968: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
969: to make a few more applications work.
970: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
971: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
972: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
973: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
974: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
975: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
976:
977: 0.5.10:
978: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
979: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
980: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
981: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
982: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
983: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
984: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
985: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
986: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
987: system call!)
988:
989: 0.5.9:
990: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
991: fixed strdup
992: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
993: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
994: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
995: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
996: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
997: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
998: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
999: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
1000: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
1001: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
1002: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
1003: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
1004: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1005: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1006: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1007: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1008: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1009: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1010:
1011: 0.5.8:
1012: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1013:
1014: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1015: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1016: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1017: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1018:
1019: added execvp, getcwd
1020:
1021: fixed __xmknod
1022:
1023: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1024: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1025: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1026: not follow symlinks.
1027:
1028: 0.5.7:
1029: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1030:
1031: 0.5.6:
1032: ported to ppc-linux.
1033: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1034: included sigjmp.c
1035:
1036: 0.5.5:
1037: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1038: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1039: I fixed it now.
1040: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1041: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1042:
1043: 0.5.4:
1044: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1045: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1046:
1047: 0.5.3:
1048: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1049:
1050: 0.5.2:
1051: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1052: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1053: added localtime from uC-libc.
1054:
1055: 0.5.1:
1056: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1057: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1058: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1059: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1060: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1061: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1062: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1063:
1064: 0.5:
1065: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1066: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1067: split each system call into a separate object file
1068: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1069:
1070: 0.4.1:
1071: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1072:
1073: 0.4:
1074: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1075: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1076:
1077: 0.3:
1078: remove readdir system call
1079: added getdents system call
1080: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1081: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
1082:
