23: corruption, which in most cases caused DNS lookups to fail on 64-bit
24: platforms)

34: full of problems? Just adding that code was a bad mistake, I think.
35: I tried auditing it, but I nearly got a brain tumor when I opened
36: those files. Thanks to Ilja van Sprundel for finding this bug (with
37: Google codesearch, no less! :-) )

340: - removing warning in "res_query.c"
341: - changing type of stream-mutex to recursive

1.409 leitner 344: add sendfile64 backwards compatibility glue
1.410 leitner 345: add __attribute_dontuse__ to declare a few functions as deprecated

1.438 leitner 374: All hail to the busybox chiefs! Instead of reporting bugs they find,
375: they put a #error in their source code. Is Erik seeing the diet
376: libc as uClibc competition that needs to be squashed even with
377: unfair methods? People, if you find bugs, tell us!
378: Fixed fputc and freopen (found in busybox comments)

1.353 fefe 395: the getdents64 emulation was broken and repairing it opened a can of
396: worms. So I ripped it out. I also changed the readdir64 emulation
397: to work if there is no getdents64.
1.354 fefe 398: fix ia64 start.S (Thanks to Volker Birk for an account on his ia64 box)
1.355 fefe 399: many ia64 fixes (waitpid, nice, fork, vfork, time, utime ...)
1.356 fefe 400: More fixes from Gwenole (printf %p only printed the last 32 bits, I

1.359 fefe 404: add new 2.5 syscall #defines
405: add epoll_create, epoll_ctl and epoll_wait
1.360 fefe 406: the new x86 syscall numbers exceed 255, breaking our %al optimization
407: I worked around it with conditional assembly in cpp macros. Ugh.
1.361 fefe 408: more MIPS fixes (the stoned MIPS ABI for restartable syscalls expects
409: the instruction before the syscall to be a load immediate)
410: fix fread() from a pipe (oops, tried to lseek)
1.362 fefe 411: #define _POSIX_VDISABLE in termios.h (Laurent Bercot)

1.331 fefe 438: add WANT_INET_ADDR_DNS to make gethostbyname not look up IP numbers
439: but use them to fill in the struct hostent directly.
1.332 olaf 440: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 441: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
442: the built-in defaults.
1.334 fefe 443: add file "SECURITY". I will document design tradeoffs that have
444: security implications there.

1.283 fefe 477: add libm2.s from contrib to i386 (oops, how long has it been sitting
478: there?)
1.284 fefe 479: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.450 leitner 480: Michal Ludvig (SuSE) ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
1.285 fefe 481: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
482: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
483: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 484: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work
485: yet, but it's a start.
1.287 fefe 486: added getdents64 backwards compatibility and include it in large file
487: support #defines
1.288 fefe 488: perror now checks if the message is NULL like glibc (Thomas Ogrisegg)

1.265 fefe 517: fix several bugs in getservent_r
1.266 fefe 518: Gunnar Ritter reported the following:
519: moved tcgetpgrp and tcsetpgrp to unistd.h
520: adjusted lstat->lstat64 #define to make it work with function pointers
521: move __dietlibc__ #define from features.h to diet
1.267 fefe 522: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
523: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 524: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
525: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
526: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 527: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 528: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
529: libcompat
1.271 fefe 530: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 531: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 532: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 533: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 534: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
535: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
536: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 537: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 538: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 539: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
540: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 541:
1.244 fefe 542: 0.16:
543: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 544: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
545: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 546: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
547: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 548: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
549: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
550: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
551: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 552: remove a few warnings
553: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 554: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
555: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 556: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 557: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 558: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
559: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 560: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
561: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 562: add getdelim and getline
563: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 564: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 565: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 566: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 567: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic

1.244 fefe 573:
1.224 fefe 574: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 575: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 576: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 577: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
578: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 579: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
580: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 581: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
582: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
583: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
584: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
585: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
586: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 587: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
588: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
589: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
590: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
591: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 592: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 593: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
594: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
595: does it correctly.
596: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
597: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
598: buffer.
599: strftime updates.
600: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
601: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 602: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 603: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
604: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 605: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 606: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
607: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 608: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
609: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 610: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 611: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
612: on ARM.
613: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 614: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
615: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 616: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 617: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 618: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 619: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
620: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
621: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
622: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
623: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
624: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 625:
1.209 fefe 626: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 627: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 628: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
629: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 630: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
631: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 632: made the fake locale more believable.
633: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 634: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 635: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
636: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
637: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
638: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
639: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
640: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
641: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 642: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 643: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 644: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
645: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 646: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
647: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 648: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
649: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 650: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 651: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
652: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
653: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 654: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 655: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
656: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
657: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 658: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 659:
1.193 fefe 660: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 661: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 662: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 663: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 664: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 665: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 666: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 667: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 668: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 669: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 670: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 671: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 672: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
673: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
674: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
675: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 676: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 677: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
678: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 679: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 680: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 681: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 682:
1.164 fefe 683: 0.12:
684: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 685: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 686: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 687: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
688: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 689: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 690: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 691: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 692: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 693: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 694: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 695: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 696: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 697: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 698: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 699: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
700: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
701: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 702: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 703: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 704: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
705: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 706: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
707: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
708: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
709: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
710: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
711: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
712: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 713: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 714: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
715: do the same for getgrent and getspent
716: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 717: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 718: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 719: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 720: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
721: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
722: room ;)
1.188 fefe 723: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
724: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
725: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 726: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
727: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 728: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
729: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
730: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 731: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 732: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 733:
1.115 fefe 734: 0.11:
735: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 736: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 737: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
738: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 739: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
740: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
741: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
742: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 743: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 744: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
745: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
746: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 747: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
748: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 749: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 750: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
751: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 752: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 753: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 754: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 755: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 756: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 757: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
758: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
759: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 760: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
761: warning.
1.131 fefe 762: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 763: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 764: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
765: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
766: too)
1.134 fefe 767: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
768: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 769: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
770: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 771: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 772: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 773: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
774: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 775: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 776: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 777: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
778: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
779: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
780: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
781: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
782: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
783: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
784: behavior.
785: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
786: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 787: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
788: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 789: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
790: same problem.
791: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
792: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 793: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
794: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 795: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 796: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 797: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
798: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 799: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
800: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 801: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 802: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 803: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 804: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 805: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 806: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
807: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 808: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
809: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 810: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 811: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 812: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
813: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 814: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
815: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 816: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
817: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
818: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 819:
1.74 fefe 820: 0.10:
821: update getpagesize.
822: add personality.
1.75 fefe 823: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 824: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
825: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 826: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 827: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 828: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
829: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 830: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 831: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 832: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
833: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
834: heroic act of self-mutilation.
835: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 836: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
837: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
838: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 839: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 840: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 841: add res_init.
842: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 843: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 844: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
845: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 846: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 847: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 848: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 849: add setenv.
850: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
851: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
852: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
853: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
854: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 855: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
856: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 857: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 858: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 859: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
860: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 861: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
862: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 863: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
864: bytes, not the buffer)
865: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 866: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 867: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
868: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 869: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
870: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 871: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 872: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 873: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 874: add killpg
1.110 fefe 875: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
876: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 877: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 878: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 879: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
880: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 881: add getserv*.
882: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
883: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 884:
1.73 fefe 885: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 886: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 887: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
888: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 889: add fnmatch
890: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 891: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 892: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
893: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
894: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 895: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 896: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 897: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 898:
1.64 fefe 899: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 900: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
901: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 902: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 903: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 904: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 905: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 906: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 907: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
908: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 909: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
910: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
911: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
912: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 913: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
914: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
915: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 916: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 917: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
918: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 919: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 920: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 921: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 922: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
923: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 924: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 925: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
926: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 927: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 928: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 929: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
930: everbody knows what to do with it...
931: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 932: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 933: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
934: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 935: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 936: added nice
937: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
938: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
939: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 940: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 941: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 942: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 943: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
944: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 945: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 946:
1.21 fefe 947: 0.7.2:
948: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
949: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 950: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
951: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
952: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
953: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
954: and daemon() ;-)
955: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
956: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
957: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 958: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 959: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
960: limits.h instead)
961: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
962: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 963: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
964: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 965: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 966: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
967: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 968: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 969: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 970: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 971: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 972: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 973:
1.9 fefe 974: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 975: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
976: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
977: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 978: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 979: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 980: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
981: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 982: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 983: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 984: added isupper and islower.
985: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 986: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
987: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 988: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 989: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 990: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
991: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 992:
993: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 994: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 995: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
996: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
997: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
998: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 999: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
1000: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 1001: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
1002: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
1003: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 1004: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 1005: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
1006: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
1007: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 1008: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 1009:
1010: 0.6.14:
1011: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
1012: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
1013: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
1014: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
1015: supported).
1016: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
1017: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
1018:
1019: 0.6.13:
1020: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
1021: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
1022: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
1023: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
1024: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
1025: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
1026: this!
1027: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
1028: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
1029:
1030: 0.6.12:
1031: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
1032: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
1033:
1034: 0.6.11:
1035: added putenv.
1036:
1037: 0.6.10:
1038: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
1039: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
1040: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
1041: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
1042:
1043: 0.6.9:
1044: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
1045: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
1046: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
1047: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
1048: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
1049: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
1050:
1051: 0.6.8:
1052: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
1053: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
1054: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
1055: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
1056: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
1057: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
1058: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
1059: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
1060: the unrolling.
1061: added sendfile.
1062: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
1063: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
1064: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
1065: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
1066: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
1067:
1068: 0.6.7:
1069: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
1070: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
1071: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
1072: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
1073: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
1074: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
1075: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
1076: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
1077: dietlibc headers.
1078:
1079: 0.6.6:
1080: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
1081: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
1082: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
1083: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
1084: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
1085: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
1086: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
1087: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
1088: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
1089: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
1090: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
1091: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
1092:
1093: 0.6.5:
1094: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
1095: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
1096: functions.
1097: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
1098: several bugs.
1099: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
1100: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
1101:
1102: 0.6.4:
1103: declared is* static inline in getservent.
1104: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
1105: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
1106: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
1107: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
1108: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
1109: of the box.
1110: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
1111: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
1112: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
1113: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
1114: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
1115: applications.
1116: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
1117: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
1118: very often and are substantially faster.
1119: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
1120: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
1121: proton (thanks, anyway).
1122: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
1123: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
1124:
1125: 0.6.3:
1126: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
1127: added isblank
1128: added atol
1129:
1130: 0.6.2:
1131: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
1132:
1133: 0.6.1:
1134: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
1135: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
1136: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
1137:
1138: 0.6:
1139: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1140: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
1141: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
1142: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
1143: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
1144: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
1145: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
1146: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
1147: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
1148: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
1149: simplify the sources greatly.
1150: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
1151: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
1152: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
1153: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
1154: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
1155:
1156: 0.5.12:
1157: printf also does signed numbers.
1158: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
1159: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
1160: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
1161: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
1162: return the number of bytes it would have written.
1163: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
1164: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
1165: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
1166: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
1167: tell me!
1168:
1169: 0.5.11:
1170: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
1171: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
1172: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
1173: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
1174: 2864 bytes on sparc
1175: 2488 bytes on intel
1176: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
1177: to make a few more applications work.
1178: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
1179: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
1180: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
1181: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
1182: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
1183: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
1184:
1185: 0.5.10:
1186: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
1187: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
1188: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
1189: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
1190: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
1191: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
1192: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
1193: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
1194: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
1195: system call!)
1196:
1197: 0.5.9:
1198: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
1199: fixed strdup
1200: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
1201: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
1202: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
1203: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
1204: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
1205: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
1206: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
1207: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
1208: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
1209: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
1210: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
1211: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
1212: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1213: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1214: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1215: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1216: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1217: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1218:
1219: 0.5.8:
1220: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1221:
1222: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1223: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1224: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1225: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1226:
1227: added execvp, getcwd
1228:
1229: fixed __xmknod
1230:
1231: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1232: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1233: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1234: not follow symlinks.
1235:
1236: 0.5.7:
1237: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1238:
1239: 0.5.6:
1240: ported to ppc-linux.
1241: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1242: included sigjmp.c
1243:
1244: 0.5.5:
1245: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1246: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1247: I fixed it now.
1248: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1249: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1250:
1251: 0.5.4:
1252: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1253: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1254:
1255: 0.5.3:
1256: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1257:
1258: 0.5.2:
1259: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1260: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1261: added localtime from uC-libc.
1262:
1263: 0.5.1:
1264: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1265: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1266: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1267: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1268: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1269: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1270: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1271:
1272: 0.5:
1273: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1274: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1275: split each system call into a separate object file
1276: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1277:
1278: 0.4.1:
1279: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1280:
1281: 0.4:
1282: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1283: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1284:
1285: 0.3:
1286: remove readdir system call
1287: added getdents system call
1288: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1289: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
