352: adjusted lstat->lstat64 #define to make it work with function pointers
353: move __dietlibc__ #define from features.h to diet
1.267 fefe 354: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
355: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 356: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
357: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
358: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 359: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 360: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
361: libcompat
1.271 fefe 362: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 363: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 364: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 365: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 366: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
367: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
368: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 369: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 370: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 371: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
372: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 373:
1.244 fefe 374: 0.16:
375: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 376: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
377: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 378: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
379: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 380: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
381: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
382: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
383: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 384: remove a few warnings
385: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 386: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
387: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 388: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 389: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 390: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
391: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 392: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
393: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 394: add getdelim and getline
395: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 396: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 397: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 398: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 399: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 400: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav
401: Macodiseas)
1.261 fefe 402: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 403: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 404: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 405:
1.224 fefe 406: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 407: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 408: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 409: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
410: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 411: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
412: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 413: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
414: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
415: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
416: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
417: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
418: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 419: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
420: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
421: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
422: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
423: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 424: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 425: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
426: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
427: does it correctly.
428: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
429: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
430: buffer.
431: strftime updates.
432: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
433: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 434: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 435: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
436: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 437: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 438: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
439: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 440: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
441: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 442: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 443: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
444: on ARM.
445: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 446: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
447: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 448: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 449: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 450: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 451: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
452: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
453: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
454: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
455: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
456: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 457:
1.209 fefe 458: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 459: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 460: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
461: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 462: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
463: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 464: made the fake locale more believable.
465: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 466: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 467: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
468: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
469: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
470: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
471: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
472: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
473: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 474: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 475: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 476: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
477: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 478: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
479: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 480: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
481: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 482: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 483: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
484: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
485: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 486: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 487: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
488: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
489: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 490: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 491:
1.193 fefe 492: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 493: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 494: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 495: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 496: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 497: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 498: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 499: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 500: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 501: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 502: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 503: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 504: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
505: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
506: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
507: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 508: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 509: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
510: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 511: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 512: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 513: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 514:
1.164 fefe 515: 0.12:
516: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 517: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 518: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 519: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
520: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 521: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 522: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 523: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 524: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 525: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 526: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 527: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 528: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 529: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 530: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 531: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
532: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
533: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 534: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 535: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 536: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
537: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 538: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
539: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
540: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
541: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
542: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
543: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
544: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 545: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 546: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
547: do the same for getgrent and getspent
548: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 549: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 550: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 551: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 552: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
553: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
554: room ;)
1.188 fefe 555: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
556: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
557: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 558: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
559: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 560: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
561: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
562: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 563: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 564: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 565:
1.115 fefe 566: 0.11:
567: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 568: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 569: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
570: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 571: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
572: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
573: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
574: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 575: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 576: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
577: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
578: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 579: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
580: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 581: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 582: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
583: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 584: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 585: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 586: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 587: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 588: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 589: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
590: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
591: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 592: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
593: warning.
1.131 fefe 594: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 595: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 596: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
597: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
598: too)
1.134 fefe 599: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
600: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 601: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
602: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 603: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 604: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 605: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
606: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 607: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 608: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 609: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
610: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
611: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
612: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
613: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
614: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
615: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
616: behavior.
617: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
618: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 619: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
620: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 621: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
622: same problem.
623: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
624: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 625: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
626: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 627: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 628: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 629: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
630: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 631: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
632: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 633: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 634: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 635: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 636: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 637: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 638: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
639: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 640: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
641: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 642: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 643: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 644: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
645: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 646: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
647: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 648: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
649: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
650: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 651:
1.74 fefe 652: 0.10:
653: update getpagesize.
654: add personality.
1.75 fefe 655: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 656: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
657: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 658: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 659: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 660: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
661: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 662: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 663: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 664: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
665: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
666: heroic act of self-mutilation.
667: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 668: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
669: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
670: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 671: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 672: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 673: add res_init.
674: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 675: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 676: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
677: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 678: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 679: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 680: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 681: add setenv.
682: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
683: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
684: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
685: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
686: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 687: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
688: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 689: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 690: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 691: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
692: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 693: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
694: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 695: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
696: bytes, not the buffer)
697: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 698: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 699: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
700: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 701: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
702: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 703: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 704: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 705: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 706: add killpg
1.110 fefe 707: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
708: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 709: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 710: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 711: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
712: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 713: add getserv*.
714: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
715: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 716:
1.73 fefe 717: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 718: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 719: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
720: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 721: add fnmatch
722: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 723: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 724: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
725: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
726: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 727: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 728: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 729: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 730:
1.64 fefe 731: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 732: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
733: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 734: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 735: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 736: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 737: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 738: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 739: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
740: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 741: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
742: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
743: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
744: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 745: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
746: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
747: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 748: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 749: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
750: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 751: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 752: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 753: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 754: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
755: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 756: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 757: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
758: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 759: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 760: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 761: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
762: everbody knows what to do with it...
763: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 764: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 765: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
766: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 767: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 768: added nice
769: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
770: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
771: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 772: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 773: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 774: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 775: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
776: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 777: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 778:
1.21 fefe 779: 0.7.2:
780: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
781: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 782: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
783: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
784: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
785: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
786: and daemon() ;-)
787: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
788: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
789: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 790: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 791: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
792: limits.h instead)
793: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
794: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 795: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
796: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 797: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 798: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
799: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 800: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 801: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 802: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 803: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 804: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 805:
1.9 fefe 806: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 807: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
808: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
809: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 810: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 811: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 812: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
813: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 814: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 815: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 816: added isupper and islower.
817: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 818: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
819: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 820: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 821: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 822: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
823: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 824:
825: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 826: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 827: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
828: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
829: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
830: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 831: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
832: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 833: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
834: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
835: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 836: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 837: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
838: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
839: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 840: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 841:
842: 0.6.14:
843: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
844: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
845: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
846: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
847: supported).
848: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
849: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
850:
851: 0.6.13:
852: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
853: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
854: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
855: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
856: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
857: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
858: this!
859: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
860: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
861:
862: 0.6.12:
863: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
864: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
865:
866: 0.6.11:
867: added putenv.
868:
869: 0.6.10:
870: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
871: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
872: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
873: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
874:
875: 0.6.9:
876: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
877: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
878: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
879: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
880: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
881: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
882:
883: 0.6.8:
884: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
885: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
886: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
887: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
888: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
889: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
890: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
891: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
892: the unrolling.
893: added sendfile.
894: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
895: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
896: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
897: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
898: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
899:
900: 0.6.7:
901: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
902: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
903: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
904: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
905: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
906: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
907: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
908: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
909: dietlibc headers.
910:
911: 0.6.6:
912: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
913: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
914: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
915: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
916: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
917: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
918: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
919: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
920: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
921: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
922: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
923: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
924:
925: 0.6.5:
926: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
927: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
928: functions.
929: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
930: several bugs.
931: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
932: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
933:
934: 0.6.4:
935: declared is* static inline in getservent.
936: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
937: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
938: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
939: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
940: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
941: of the box.
942: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
943: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
944: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
945: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
946: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
947: applications.
948: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
949: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
950: very often and are substantially faster.
951: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
952: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
953: proton (thanks, anyway).
954: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
955: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
956:
957: 0.6.3:
958: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
959: added isblank
960: added atol
961:
962: 0.6.2:
963: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
964:
965: 0.6.1:
966: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
967: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
968: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
969:
970: 0.6:
971: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
972: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
973: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
974: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
975: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
976: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
977: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
978: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
979: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
980: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
981: simplify the sources greatly.
982: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
983: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
984: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
985: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
986: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
987:
988: 0.5.12:
989: printf also does signed numbers.
990: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
991: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
992: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
993: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
994: return the number of bytes it would have written.
995: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
996: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
997: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
998: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
999: tell me!
1000:
1001: 0.5.11:
1002: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
1003: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
1004: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
1005: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
1006: 2864 bytes on sparc
1007: 2488 bytes on intel
1008: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
1009: to make a few more applications work.
1010: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
1011: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
1012: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
1013: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
1014: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
1015: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
1016:
1017: 0.5.10:
1018: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
1019: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
1020: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
1021: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
1022: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
1023: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
1024: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
1025: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
1026: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
1027: system call!)
1028:
1029: 0.5.9:
1030: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
1031: fixed strdup
1032: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
1033: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
1034: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
1035: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
1036: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
1037: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
1038: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
1039: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
1040: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
1041: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
1042: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
1043: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
1044: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1045: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1046: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1047: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1048: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1049: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1050:
1051: 0.5.8:
1052: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1053:
1054: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1055: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1056: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1057: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1058:
1059: added execvp, getcwd
1060:
1061: fixed __xmknod
1062:
1063: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1064: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1065: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1066: not follow symlinks.
1067:
1068: 0.5.7:
1069: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1070:
1071: 0.5.6:
1072: ported to ppc-linux.
1073: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1074: included sigjmp.c
1075:
1076: 0.5.5:
1077: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1078: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1079: I fixed it now.
1080: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1081: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1082:
1083: 0.5.4:
1084: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1085: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1086:
1087: 0.5.3:
1088: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1089:
1090: 0.5.2:
1091: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1092: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1093: added localtime from uC-libc.
1094:
1095: 0.5.1:
1096: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1097: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1098: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1099: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1100: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1101: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1102: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1103:
1104: 0.5:
1105: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1106: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1107: split each system call into a separate object file
1108: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1109:
1110: 0.4.1:
1111: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1112:
1113: 0.4:
1114: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1115: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1116:
1117: 0.3:
1118: remove readdir system call
1119: added getdents system call
1120: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1121: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
