? Compiling glibc

You should always try to use the latest official release. Older versions
may not have all the features GNU libc requires. The current releases of
egcs (1.0.3 and 1.1.1) should work with the GNU C library (for powerpc see
?powerpc; for ARM see ?arm).

While the GNU CC should be able to compile glibc it is nevertheless adviced
to use EGCS. Comparing the sizes of glibc on Intel compiled with a recent
EGCS and gcc 2.8.1 shows this:
text data bss dec hex filename
egcs-2.93.10 862897 15944 12824 891665 d9b11 libc.so
gcc-2.8.1 959965 16468 12152 988585 f15a9 libc.so
Make up your own decision.
GNU CC versions 2.95 and above are derived from egcs, and they may do even
better.
Please note that gcc 2.95 and 2.95.x cannot compile glibc on Alpha due to
problems in the complex float support.

We recommend version GNU make version 3.75 or 3.77. Versions before 3.75
have bugs and/or are missing features. Version 3.76 has bugs which
appear when building big projects like GNU libc. 3.76.1 appears to work but
some people have reported problems. If you build GNU make 3.77 from source,
please read ?make first.

For Linux or Hurd, you want binutils 2.8.1.0.23, 2.9.1, or 2.9.1.0.15 or
higher. These are the only versions we've tested and found reliable. Other
versions after 2.8.1.0.23 may work but we don't recommend them, especially
not when C++ is involved. Earlier versions do not work at all.

??powerpc Which compiler should I use for powerpc?
{GK} You want to use at least gcc 2.95 (together with the right versions
of all the other tools, of course). See also question ?excpt.
??arm Which tools should I use for ARM?
{PB} You should use egcs 1.1 or a later version. For ELF systems some
changes are needed to the compiler; a patch against egcs-1.1.x can be found
at:
<ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/egcs-1.1.1pre2-diff-981126>
Binutils 2.9.1.0.16 or later is also required.
?? Do I need some more things to compile the GNU C Library?

?? What version of the Linux kernel headers should be used?
{AJ,UD} The headers from the most recent Linux kernel should be used. The
headers used while compiling the GNU C library and the kernel binary used
when using the library do not need to match. The GNU C library runs without
problems on kernels that are older than the kernel headers used. The other
way round (compiling the GNU C library with old kernel headers and running
on a recent kernel) does not necessarily work. For example you can't use
new kernel features if you used old kernel headers to compile the GNU C
library.
{ZW} Even if you are using a 2.0 kernel on your machine, we recommend you
compile GNU libc with 2.2 kernel headers. That way you won't have to
recompile libc if you ever upgrade to kernel 2.2. To tell libc which
headers to use, give configure the --with-headers switch
(e.g. --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.2.0/include).
Note that you must configure the 2.2 kernel if you do this, otherwise libc
will be unable to find <linux/version.h>. Just change the current directory
to the root of the 2.2 tree and do `make include/linux/version.h'.
?? The compiler hangs while building iconvdata modules. What's
wrong?
{ZW} This is a problem with old versions of GCC. Initialization of large
static arrays is very slow. The compiler will eventually finish; give it
time.
The problem is fixed in egcs 1.1.

To use these packages as part of GNU libc, just unpack the tarfiles in the
libc source directory and tell the configuration script about them using the
--enable-add-ons option. If you give just --enable-add-ons configure tries
to find all the add-on packages in your source tree. This may not work. If
it doesn't, or if you want to select only a subset of the add-ons, give a
comma-separated list of the add-ons to enable:

check that the add-ons work with the GNU libc. For example the crypt and
linuxthreads add-ons have the same numbering scheme as the libc and will in

People who are interested in squeezing the last drop of performance
out of their machine may wish to avoid the trap overhead, but this is
far more trouble than it's worth: you then have to compile
*everything* this way, including the compiler's internal libraries
(libgcc.a for GNU C), because the calling conventions change.
?? When compiling GNU libc I get lots of errors saying functions
in glibc are duplicated in libgcc.
{EY} This is *exactly* the same problem that I was having. The problem was
due to the fact that configure didn't correctly detect that the linker flag
--no-whole-archive was supported in my linker. In my case it was because I
had run ./configure with bogus CFLAGS, and the test failed.

?? I get failures during `make check'. What should I do?
{AJ} The testsuite should compile and run cleanly on your system; every
failure should be looked into. Depending on the failures, you probably
should not install the library at all.
You should consider using the `glibcbug' script to report the failure,
providing as much detail as possible. If you run a test directly, please
remember to set up the environment correctly. You want to test the compiled
library - and not your installed one. The best way is to copy the exact
command line which failed and run the test from the subdirectory for this
test in the sources.
There are some failures which are not directly related to the GNU libc:
- Some compilers produce buggy code. No compiler gets single precision
complex numbers correct on Alpha. Otherwise, the egcs 1.1 release should be
ok; gcc 2.8.1 might cause some failures; gcc 2.7.2.x is so buggy that
explicit checks have been used so that you can't build with it.
- The kernel might have bugs. For example on Linux/Alpha 2.0.34 the
floating point handling has quite a number of bugs and therefore most of
the test cases in the math subdirectory will fail. Linux 2.2 has
fixes for the floating point support on Alpha. The Linux/SPARC kernel has
also some bugs in the FPU emulation code (as of Linux 2.2.0).
- Other tools might have problems. For example bash 2.03 gives a
segmentation fault running the tst-rpmatch.sh test script.
1998-09-09 11:46:18 +00:00
?? What is symbol versioning good for? Do I need it?
{AJ} Symbol versioning solves problems that are related to interface
changes. One version of an interface might have been introduced in a
previous version of the GNU C library but the interface or the semantics of
the function has been changed in the meantime. For binary compatibility
with the old library, a newer library needs to still have the old interface
for old programs. On the other hand, new programs should use the new
1998-09-09 11:46:18 +00:00
interface. Symbol versioning is the solution for this problem. The GNU
libc version 2.1 uses symbol versioning by default if the installed binutils
supports it.
1998-09-09 11:46:18 +00:00
We don't advise building without symbol versioning, since you lose binary
compatibility - forever! The binary compatibility you lose is not only
against the previous version of the GNU libc (version 2.0) but also against
all future versions.

?? How can I compile on my fast ix86 machine a working libc for my slow
i386? After installing libc, programs abort with "Illegal
Instruction".
{AJ} glibc and gcc might generate some instructions on your machine that
aren't available on i386. You've got to tell glibc that you're configuring
for i386 with adding i386 as your machine, for example:
../configure --prefix=/usr i386-pc-linux-gnu

For Linux there are three major libc versions:
libc-4 a.out libc
libc-5 original ELF libc
libc-6 GNU libc
You can have any combination of these three installed. For more information
consult documentation for shared library handling. The Makefiles of GNU
libc will automatically generate the needed symbolic links which the linker
will use.

?? How do I configure GNU libc so that the essential libraries
like libc.so go into /lib and the other into /usr/lib?
{UD,AJ} Like all other GNU packages GNU libc is designed to use a base
directory and install all files relative to this. The default is
/usr/local, because this is safe (it will not damage the system if installed
there). If you wish to install GNU libc as the primary C library on your
system, set the base directory to /usr (i.e. run configure --prefix=/usr
<other_options>). Note that this can damage your system; see ?safety for
details.
Some systems like Linux have a filesystem standard which makes a difference
between essential libraries and others. Essential libraries are placed in
/lib because this directory is required to be located on the same disk
partition as /. The /usr subtree might be found on another
partition/disk. If you configure for Linux with --prefix=/usr, then this
will be done automatically.

The dangers when installing glibc in /usr are twofold:
* glibc will overwrite the headers in /usr/include. Other C libraries
install a different but overlapping set of headers there, so the effect
will probably be that you can't compile anything. You need to rename
/usr/include out of the way before running `make install'. (Do not throw
it away; you will then lose the ability to compile programs against your
old libc.)

* None of your old libraries, static or shared, can be used with a
different C library major version. For shared libraries this is not a
problem, because the filenames are different and the dynamic linker
will enforce the restriction. But static libraries have no version
information. You have to evacuate all the static libraries in
/usr/lib to a safe location.
The situation is rather similar to the move from a.out to ELF which
long-time Linux users will remember.
?? Do I need to use GNU CC to compile programs that will use the

{ZW} In theory, no; the linker does not care, and the headers are supposed
to check for GNU CC before using its extensions to the C language.

However, there are currently no ports of glibc to systems where another
compiler is the default, so no one has tested the headers extensively
against another compiler. You may therefore encounter difficulties. If you
do, please report them as bugs.

Things get a bit more complicated if you have GNU libc installed in some
other place than /usr, i.e., if you do not want to use it instead of the old
libc. In this case the needed startup files and libraries are not found in
the regular places. So the specs file must tell the compiler and linker
exactly what to use.

Version 2.7.2.3 does and future versions of GCC will automatically
provide the correct specs.
?? Looking through the shared libc file I haven't found the
functions `stat', `lstat', `fstat', and `mknod' and while
linking on my Linux system I get error messages. How is
this supposed to work?
{RM} Believe it or not, stat and lstat (and fstat, and mknod) are supposed
to be undefined references in libc.so.6! Your problem is probably a missing
or incorrect /usr/lib/libc.so file; note that this is a small text file now,
not a symlink to libc.so.6. It should look something like this:

??excpt When I run an executable on one system which I compiled on
another, I get dynamic linker errors. Both systems have the same
version of glibc installed. What's wrong?
{ZW} Glibc on one of these systems was compiled with gcc 2.7 or 2.8, the
other with egcs (any version). Egcs has functions in its internal
`libgcc.a' to support exception handling with C++. They are linked into
any program or dynamic library compiled with egcs, whether it needs them or
not. Dynamic libraries then turn around and export those functions again
unless special steps are taken to prevent them.
When you link your program, it resolves its references to the exception
functions to the ones exported accidentally by libc.so. That works fine as
long as libc has those functions. On the other system, libc doesn't have
those functions because it was compiled by gcc 2.8, and you get undefined
symbol errors. The symbols in question are named things like
`__register_frame_info'.
For glibc 2.0, the workaround is to not compile libc with egcs. We've also
incorporated a patch which should prevent the EH functions sneaking into
libc. It doesn't matter what compiler you use to compile your program.
For glibc 2.1, we've chosen to do it the other way around: libc.so
explicitly provides the EH functions. This is to prevent other shared
libraries from doing it.
{UD} Starting with glibc 2.1.1 you can compile glibc with gcc 2.8.1 or
newer since we have explicitly add references to the functions causing the
problem. But you nevertheless should use EGCS for other reasons
(see ?binsize).
{GK} On some Linux distributions for PowerPC, you can see this when you have
built gcc or egcs from the Web sources (gcc versions 2.95 or earlier), then
re-built glibc. This happens because in these versions of gcc, exception
handling is implemented using an older method; the people making the
distributions are a little ahead of their time.
A quick solution to this is to find the libgcc.a file that came with the
distribution (it would have been installed under /usr/lib/gcc-lib), do
`ar x libgcc.a frame.o' to get the frame.o file out, and add a line saying
`LDLIBS-c.so += frame.o' to the file `configparms' in the directory you're
building in. You can check you've got the right `frame.o' file by running
`nm frame.o' and checking that it has the symbols defined that you're
missing.
This will let you build glibc with the C compiler. The C++ compiler
will still be binary incompatible with any C++ shared libraries that
you got with your distribution.

?? I have set up /etc/nis.conf, and the Linux libc 5 with NYS
works great. But the glibc NIS+ doesn't seem to work.
{TK} The glibc NIS+ implementation uses a /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START file for
storing information about the NIS+ server and their public keys, because the
nis.conf file does not contain all the necessary information. You have to
copy a NIS_COLD_START file from a Solaris client (the NIS_COLD_START file is
byte order independent) or generate it with nisinit from the nis-tools
package; available at
http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/linux/nisplus.html

?? I have killed ypbind to stop using NIS, but glibc
continues using NIS.
{TK} For faster NIS lookups, glibc uses the /var/yp/binding/ files from
ypbind. ypbind 3.3 and older versions don't always remove these files, so
glibc will continue to use them. Other BSD versions seem to work correctly.
Until ypbind 3.4 is released, you can find a patch at
<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/NIS/ypbind-3.3-glibc4.diff.gz>
?? Under Linux/Alpha, I always get "do_ypcall: clnt_call:
RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused" when using NIS.
{TK} You need a ypbind version which is 64bit clean. Some versions are not
64bit clean. A 64bit clean implementation is ypbind-mt. For ypbind 3.3,
you need the patch from ftp.kernel.org (See the previous question). I don't
know about other versions.

?? How do I create the databases for NSS?
{AJ} If you have an entry "db" in /etc/nsswitch.conf you should also create
the database files. The glibc sources contain a Makefile which does the
1998-09-09 11:46:18 +00:00
necessary conversion and calls to create those files. The file is
`db-Makefile' in the subdirectory `nss' and you can call it with `make -f
db-Makefile'. Please note that not all services are capable of using a
database. Currently passwd, group, ethers, protocol, rpc, services shadow
and netgroup are implemented. See also question ?nssdb.

?? I have /usr/include/net and /usr/include/scsi as symlinks
into my Linux source tree. Is that wrong?
{PB} This was necessary for libc5, but is not correct when using glibc.
Including the kernel header files directly in user programs usually does not
work (see ?kerhdr). glibc provides its own <net/*> and <scsi/*> header
files to replace them, and you may have to remove any symlink that you have
in place before you install glibc. However, /usr/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux should remain as they were.

users on my system. Why?
{MK} See ?getlog.
?? After upgrading to glibc 2.1 with symbol versioning I get
errors about undefined symbols. What went wrong?
{AJ} The problem is caused either by wrong program code or tools. In the
versioned libc a lot of symbols are now local that were global symbols in
previous versions. It seems that programs linked against older versions
often accidentally used libc global variables -- something that should not
happen.

?? When I start the program XXX after upgrading the library
I get
XXX: Symbol `_sys_errlist' has different size in shared
object, consider re-linking
Why? What should I do?
{UD} As the message says, relink the binary. The problem is that a few
symbols from the library can change in size and there is no way to avoid
this. _sys_errlist is a good example. Occasionally there are new error
numbers added to the kernel and this must be reflected at user level,
breaking programs that refer to them directly.

Such symbols should normally not be used at all. There are mechanisms to
avoid using them. In the case of _sys_errlist, there is the strerror()
function which should _always_ be used instead. So the correct fix is to
rewrite that part of the application.

?? What do I need for C++ development?
{HJ,AJ} You need either egcs 1.1 which comes directly with libstdc++ or
gcc-2.8.1 together with libstdc++ 2.8.1.1. egcs 1.1 has the better C++
support and works directly with glibc 2.1. If you use gcc-2.8.1 with
libstdc++ 2.8.1.1, you need to modify libstdc++ a bit. A patch is available
as:
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libstdc++-2.8.1.1-glibc2.1-diff.gz>
Please note that libg++ 2.7.2 (and the Linux Versions 2.7.2.x) doesn't work
very well with the GNU C library due to vtable thunks. If you're upgrading
from glibc 2.0.x to 2.1 you have to recompile libstdc++ since the library
compiled for 2.0 is not compatible due to the new Large File Support (LFS)
in version 2.1.
{UD} But since in the case of a shared libstdc++ the version numbers should
be different existing programs will continue to work.

?? Even statically linked programs need some shared libraries
which is not acceptable for me. What can I do?
{AJ} NSS (for details just type `info libc "Name Service Switch"') won't
work properly without shared libraries. NSS allows using different services
(e.g. NIS, files, db, hesiod) by just changing one configuration file
(/etc/nsswitch.conf) without relinking any programs. The only disadvantage
is that now static libraries need to access shared libraries. This is
handled transparently by the GNU C library.
A solution is to configure glibc with --enable-static-nss. In this case you
can create a static binary that will use only the services dns and files
(change /etc/nsswitch.conf for this). You need to link explicitly against
all these services. For example:
gcc -static test-netdb.c -o test-netdb.c \
-lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv
The problem with this approach is that you've got to link every static
program that uses NSS routines with all those libraries.
{UD} In fact, one cannot say anymore that a libc compiled with this
option is using NSS. There is no switch anymore. Therefore it is
*highly* recommended *not* to use --enable-static-nss since this makes
the behaviour of the programs on the system inconsistent.
?? I just upgraded my Linux system to glibc and now I get
errors whenever I try to link any program.
{ZW} This happens when you have installed glibc as the primary C library but
have stray symbolic links pointing at your old C library. If the first
`libc.so' the linker finds is libc 5, it will use that. Your program
expects to be linked with glibc, so the link fails.
The most common case is that glibc put its `libc.so' in /usr/lib, but there
was a `libc.so' from libc 5 in /lib, which gets searched first. To fix the
problem, just delete /lib/libc.so. You may also need to delete other
symbolic links in /lib, such as /lib/libm.so if it points to libm.so.5.
{AJ} The perl script test-installation.pl which is run as last step during
an installation of glibc that is configured with --prefix=/usr should help
detect these situations. If the script reports problems, something is
really screwed up.
?? When I use nscd the machine freezes.
{UD} You cannot use nscd with Linux 2.0.*. There is functionality missing
in the kernel and work-arounds are not suitable. Besides, some parts of the
kernel are too buggy when it comes to using threads.
If you need nscd, you have to use at least a 2.1 kernel.
Note that I have at this point no information about any other platform.
?? I need lots of open files. What do I have to do?
{AJ} This is at first a kernel issue. The kernel defines limits with
OPEN_MAX the number of simultaneous open files and with FD_SETSIZE the
number of used file descriptors. You need to change these values in your
kernel and recompile the kernel so that the kernel allows to use more open
files. You don't necessarily need to recompile the GNU C library since the
only place where OPEN_MAX and FD_SETSIZE is really needed in the library
itself is the size of fd_set which is used by select.
The GNU C library is now select free. This means it internally has no
limits imposed by the `fd_set' type. Instead all places where the
functionality is needed the `poll' function is used.
If you increase the number of file descriptors in the kernel you don't need
to recompile the C library.
{UD} You can always get the maximum number of file descriptors a process is
allowed to have open at any time using
number = sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX);
This will work even if the kernel limits change.
?? How do I get the same behavior on parsing /etc/passwd and
/etc/group as I have with libc5 ?
{TK} The name switch setup in /etc/nsswitch.conf selected by most Linux
distributions does not support +/- and netgroup entries in the files like
/etc/passwd. Though this is the preferred setup some people might have
setups coming over from the libc5 days where it was the default to recognize
lines like this. To get back to the old behaviour one simply has to change
the rules for passwd, group, and shadow in the nsswitch.conf file as
follows:
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
passwd_compat: nis
group_compat: nis
shadow_compat: nis
??libs What needs to be recompiled when upgrading from glibc 2.0 to glibc
2.1?
{AJ,CG} If you just upgrade the glibc from 2.0.x (x <= 7) to 2.1, binaries
that have been linked against glibc 2.0 will continue to work.
If you compile your own binaries against glibc 2.1, you also need to
recompile some other libraries. The problem is that libio had to be changed
and therefore libraries that are based or depend on the libio of glibc,
e.g. ncurses, slang and most C++ libraries, need to be recompiled. If you
experience strange segmentation faults in your programs linked against glibc
2.1, you might need to recompile your libraries.
Another problem is that older binaries that were linked statically against
glibc 2.0 will reference the older nss modules (libnss_files.so.1 instead of
libnss_files.so.2), so don't remove them. Also, the old glibc-2.0 compiled
static libraries (libfoo.a) which happen to depend on the older libio
behavior will be broken by the glibc 2.1 upgrade. We plan to produce a
compatibility library that people will be able to link in if they want
to compile a static library generated against glibc 2.0 into a program
on a glibc 2.1 system. You just add -lcompat and you should be fine.
The glibc-compat add-on will provide the libcompat.a library, the older
nss modules, and a few other files. Together, they should make it
possible to do development with old static libraries on a glibc 2.1

system. This add-on is still in development. You can get it from
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-compat-2.1.tar.gz>
but please keep in mind that it is experimental.
?? Why is extracting files via tar so slow?
{AJ} Extracting of tar archives might be quite slow since tar has to look up
userid and groupids and doesn't cache negative results. If you have nis or
nisplus in your /etc/nsswitch.conf for the passwd and/or group database,
each file extractions needs a network connection. There are two possible
solutions:
- do you really need NIS/NIS+ (some Linux distributions add by default
nis/nisplus even if it's not needed)? If not, just remove the entries.
- if you need NIS/NIS+, use the Name Service Cache Daemon nscd that comes
with glibc 2.1.
?? Compiling programs I get parse errors in libio.h (e.g. "parse error
before `_IO_seekoff'"). How should I fix this?
{AJ} You might get the following errors when upgrading to glibc 2.1:
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:57,
from ...
/usr/include/libio.h:335: parse error before `_IO_seekoff'
/usr/include/libio.h:335: parse error before `_G_off64_t'
/usr/include/libio.h:336: parse error before `_IO_seekpos'
/usr/include/libio.h:336: parse error before `_G_fpos64_t'
The problem is a wrong _G_config.h file in your include path. The
_G_config.h file that comes with glibc 2.1 should be used and not one from
libc5 or from a compiler directory. To check which _G_config.h file the
compiler uses, compile your program with `gcc -E ...|grep G_config.h' and
remove that file. Your compiler should pick up the file that has been
installed by glibc 2.1 in your include directory.
?? After upgrading to glibc 2.1, libraries that were compiled against
glibc 2.0.x don't work anymore.
{AJ} See ?libs.
??nssdb What happened to the Berkeley DB libraries? Can I still use db
in /etc/nsswitch.conf?
{AJ} Due to too many incompatible changes in disk layout and API of Berkeley
DB and a too tight coupling of libc and libdb, the db library has been
removed completely from glibc 2.2. The only place that really used the
Berkeley DB was the NSS db module.
The NSS db module has been rewritten to support a number of different
versions of Berkeley DB for the NSS db module. Currently the releases 2.x
and 3.x of Berkeley DB are supported. The older db 1.85 library is not
supported. You can use the version from glibc 2.1.x or download a version
from Sleepycat Software (http://www.sleepycat.com). The library has to be
compiled as shared library and installed in the system lib directory
(normally /lib). The library needs to have a special soname to be found by
the NSS module.
If public structures change in a new Berkeley db release, this needs to be
reflected in glibc.
Currently the code searches for libraries with a soname of "libdb.so.3"
(that's the name from db 2.4.14 which comes with glibc 2.1.x) and
"libdb-3.0.so" (the name used by db 3.0.55 as default).

? Source and binary incompatibilities, and what to do about them
?? I expect GNU libc to be 100% source code compatible with
the old Linux based GNU libc. Why isn't it like this?
{DMT,UD} Not every extension in Linux libc's history was well thought-out.
In fact it had a lot of problems with standards compliance and with
cleanliness. With the introduction of a new version number these errors can
now be corrected. Here is a list of the known source code

incompatibilities:
* _GNU_SOURCE: glibc does not make the GNU extensions available
automatically. If a program depends on GNU extensions or some
other non-standard functionality, it is necessary to compile it
with the C compiler option -D_GNU_SOURCE, or better, to put
`#define _GNU_SOURCE' at the beginning of your source files, before
any C library header files are included. This difference normally
manifests itself in the form of missing prototypes and/or data type
definitions. Thus, if you get such errors, the first thing you
should do is try defining _GNU_SOURCE and see if that makes the
problem go away.
For more information consult the file `NOTES' in the GNU C library
sources.
* reboot(): GNU libc sanitizes the interface of reboot() to be more
compatible with the interface used on other OSes. reboot() as
implemented in glibc takes just one argument. This argument
corresponds to the third argument of the Linux reboot system call.
That is, a call of the form reboot(a, b, c) needs to be changed into
reboot(c). Beside this the header <sys/reboot.h> defines the needed
constants for the argument. These RB_* constants should be used
instead of the cryptic magic numbers.
* swapon(): the interface of this function didn't change, but the
prototype is in a separate header file <sys/swap.h>. This header
file also provides the SWAP_* constants defined by <linux/swap.h>;
you should use them for the second argument to swapon().
* errno: If a program uses the variable "errno", then it _must_
include <errno.h>. The old libc often (erroneously) declared this
variable implicitly as a side-effect of including other libc header
files. glibc is careful to avoid such namespace pollution, which,
in turn, means that you really need to include the header files that
you depend on. This difference normally manifests itself in the
form of the compiler complaining about references to an undeclared
symbol "errno".
* Linux-specific syscalls: All Linux system calls now have appropriate
library wrappers and corresponding declarations in various header files.
This is because the syscall() macro that was traditionally used to
work around missing syscall wrappers are inherently non-portable and
error-prone. The following table lists all the new syscall stubs,
the header-file declaring their interface and the system call name.
syscall name: wrapper name: declaring header file:
------------- ------------- ----------------------
bdflush bdflush <sys/kdaemon.h>
syslog ksyslog_ctl <sys/klog.h>
* lpd: Older versions of lpd depend on a routine called _validuser().
The library does not provide this function, but instead provides
__ivaliduser() which has a slightly different interface. Simply
upgrading to a newer lpd should fix this problem (e.g., the 4.4BSD
lpd is known to be working).
* resolver functions/BIND: like on many other systems the functions of
the resolver library are not included in libc itself. There is a
separate library libresolv. If you get undefined symbol errors for
symbols starting with `res_*' simply add -lresolv to your linker
command line.
* the `signal' function's behavior corresponds to the BSD semantic and
not the SysV semantic as it was in libc-5. The interface on all GNU
systems shall be the same and BSD is the semantic of choice. To use
the SysV behavior simply use `sysv_signal', or define _XOPEN_SOURCE.
See ?signal for details.
??getlog Why does getlogin() always return NULL on my Linux box?
{UD} The GNU C library has a format for the UTMP and WTMP file which differs
from what your system currently has. It was extended to fulfill the needs
of the next years when IPv6 is introduced. The record size is different and
some fields have different positions. The files written by functions from
the one library cannot be read by functions from the other library. Sorry,
but this is what a major release is for. It's better to have a cut now than
having no means to support the new techniques later.

For example, the sigset_t type is 32 or 64 bits wide in the kernel. In
glibc it is 1024 bits wide. This guarantees that when the kernel gets a
bigger sigset_t (for POSIX.1e realtime support, say) user programs will not
have to be recompiled. Consult the header files for more information about
the changes.

?? I don't include any kernel headers myself but the compiler
still complains about redeclarations of types in the kernel
headers.
{UD} The kernel headers before Linux 2.1.61 and 2.0.32 don't work correctly
with glibc. Compiling C programs is possible in most cases but C++ programs
have (due to the change of the name lookups for `struct's) problems. One
prominent example is `struct fd_set'.

There are three differences:
* BSD-style signals that occur in the middle of a system call do not
affect the system call; System V signals cause the system call to
fail and set errno to EINTR.
* BSD signal handlers remain installed once triggered. System V signal
handlers work only once, so one must reinstall them each time.
* A BSD signal is blocked during the execution of its handler. In other
words, a handler for SIGCHLD (for example) does not need to worry about
being interrupted by another SIGCHLD. It may, however, be interrupted
by other signals.
There is general consensus that for `casual' programming with signals, the
BSD semantics are preferable. You don't need to worry about system calls
returning EINTR, and you don't need to worry about the race conditions
associated with one-shot signal handlers.
If you are porting an old program that relies on the old semantics, you can
quickly fix the problem by changing signal() to sysv_signal() throughout.
Alternatively, define _XOPEN_SOURCE before including <signal.h>.
For new programs, the sigaction() function allows you to specify precisely
how you want your signals to behave. All three differences listed above are
individually switchable on a per-signal basis with this function.
If all you want is for one specific signal to cause system calls to fail and
return EINTR (for example, to implement a timeout) you can do this with

with very few registers (e.g., ix86). The inline assembler code can require
almost all the registers and the register allocator cannot always handle

One can disable the string optimizations selectively. Instead of writing
cp = strcpy (foo, "lkj");
one can write
cp = (strcpy) (foo, "lkj");

lead to this message. This is correct behaviour with glibc since stdin is
not a constant expression. Please note that a strict reading of ISO C does
not allow above constructs.
One of the advantages of this is that you can assign to stdin, stdout, and
stderr just like any other global variable (e.g. `stdout = my_stream;'),
which can be very useful with custom streams that you can write with libio

int main(void)
{

standard follow the standard. The ANSI/ISO C standard defines what has to be
in the include files - and also states that nothing else should be in the
include files (btw. you can still enable additional standards with feature
flags).
The GNU C library is conforming to ANSI/ISO C - if and only if you're only
using the headers and library functions defined in the standard.
?? I can't access some functions anymore. nm shows that they do
exist but linking fails nevertheless.
{AJ} With the introduction of versioning in glibc 2.1 it is possible to
export only those identifiers (functions, variables) that are really needed
by application programs and by other parts of glibc. This way a lot of
internal interfaces are now hidden. nm will still show those identifiers
but marking them as internal. ISO C states that identifiers beginning with
an underscore are internal to the libc. An application program normally
shouldn't use those internal interfaces (there are exceptions,
e.g. __ivaliduser). If a program uses these interfaces, it's broken. These
internal interfaces might change between glibc releases or dropped
completely.
?? When using the db-2 library which comes with glibc is used in

?? The pow() inline function I get when including <math.h> is broken.
I get segmentation faults when I run the program.
{UD} Nope, the implementation is correct. The problem is with egcs version
prior to 1.1. I.e., egcs 1.0 to 1.0.3 are all broken (at least on Intel).
If you have to use this compiler you must define __NO_MATH_INLINES before
including <math.h> to prevent the inline functions from being used. egcs 1.1
fixes the problem. I don't know about gcc 2.8 and 2.8.1.

?? The sys/sem.h file lacks the definition of `union semun'.
{UD} Nope. This union has to be provided by the user program. Former glibc
versions defined this but it was an error since it does not make much sense
when thinking about it. The standards describing the System V IPC functions
define it this way and therefore programs must be adopted.
?? Why has <netinet/ip_fw.h> disappeared?
{AJ} The corresponding Linux kernel data structures and constants are
totally different in Linux 2.0 and Linux 2.2. This situation has to be
taken care in user programs using the firewall structures and therefore
those programs (ipfw is AFAIK the only one) should deal with this problem
themselves.
?? I get floods of warnings when I use -Wconversion and include
<string.h> or <math.h>.
{ZW} <string.h> and <math.h> intentionally use prototypes to override
argument promotion. -Wconversion warns about all these. You can safely
ignore the warnings.
-Wconversion isn't really intended for production use, only for shakedown
compiles after converting an old program to standard C.
1999-02-11 12:11:01 +00:00
?? After upgrading to glibc 2.1, I receive errors about
unresolved symbols, like `_dl_initial_searchlist' and can not
execute any binaries. What went wrong?
{AJ} This normally happens if your libc and ld (dynamic linker) are from
different releases of glibc. For example, the dynamic linker
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 comes from glibc 2.0.x, but the version of libc.so.6 is
from glibc 2.1.
The path /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is hardcoded in every glibc2 binary but
libc.so.6 is searched via /etc/ld.so.cache and in some special directories
like /lib and /usr/lib. If you run configure with another prefix than /usr
and put this prefix before /lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, your system will break.
So what can you do? Either of the following should work:
* Run `configure' with the same prefix argument you've used for glibc 2.0.x
so that the same paths are used.
* Replace /lib/ld-linux.so.2 with a link to the dynamic linker from glibc
2.1.
You can even call the dynamic linker by hand if everything fails. You've
got to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the corresponding libc is found and also
need to provide an absolute path to your binary:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-where-libc.so.6-lives> \
<path-where-corresponding-dynamic-linker-lives>/ld-linux.so.2 \
<path-to-binary>/binary
For example `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/libold /libold/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/mv ...'
might be useful in fixing a broken system (if /libold contains dynamic
linker and corresponding libc).
With that command line no path is used. To further debug problems with the
dynamic linker, use the LD_DEBUG environment variable, e.g.
`LD_DEBUG=help echo' for the help text.
If you just want to test this release, don't put the lib directory in
/etc/ld.so.conf. You can call programs directly with full paths (as above).
When compiling new programs against glibc 2.1, you've got to specify the
correct paths to the compiler (option -I with gcc) and linker (options
--dynamic-linker, -L and --rpath).
1999-03-08 11:05:57 +00:00
?? bonnie reports that char i/o with glibc 2 is much slower than with
libc5. What can be done?
{AJ} The GNU C library uses thread safe functions by default and libc5 used
non thread safe versions. The non thread safe functions have in glibc the
suffix `_unlocked', for details check <stdio.h>. Using `putc_unlocked' etc.
instead of `putc' should give nearly the same speed with bonnie (bonnie is a
benchmark program for measuring disk access).
?? Programs compiled with glibc 2.1 can't read db files made with glibc
2.0. What has changed that programs like rpm break?
Removed. Does not apply anymore.
?? Autoconf's AC_CHECK_FUNC macro reports that a function exists, but
when I try to use it, it always returns -1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.
{ZW} You are using a 2.0 Linux kernel, and the function you are trying to
use is only implemented in 2.1/2.2. Libc considers this to be a function
which exists, because if you upgrade to a 2.2 kernel, it will work. One
such function is sigaltstack.
Your program should check at runtime whether the function works, and
implement a fallback. Note that Autoconf cannot detect unimplemented
functions in other systems' C libraries, so you need to do this anyway.
?? My program segfaults when I call fclose() on the FILE* returned
from setmntent(). Is this a glibc bug?
{GK} No. Don't do this. Use endmntent(), that's what it's for.
In general, you should use the correct deallocation routine. For instance,
if you open a file using fopen(), you should deallocate the FILE * using
fclose(), not free(), even though the FILE * is also a pointer.
In the case of setmntent(), it may appear to work in most cases, but it
won't always work. Unfortunately, for compatibility reasons, we can't
change the return type of setmntent() to something other than FILE *.

{PB} The 2.1 release of GNU libc aims to comply with the current versions of
all the relevant standards. The IPv6 support libraries for older Linux
systems used a different naming convention and so code written to work with
them may need to be modified. If the standards make incompatible changes in
the future then the libc may need to change again.
IPv6 will not work with a 2.0.x kernel. When kernel 2.2 is released it
should contain all the necessary support; until then you should use the
1998-11-30 13:48:15 +00:00
latest 2.1.x release you can find. As of 98/11/26 the currently recommended
kernel for IPv6 is 2.1.129.
Also, as of the 2.1 release the IPv6 API provided by GNU libc is not
100% complete. In particular the getipnodebyname and getipnodebyaddr
functions are not implemented.

??tzdb When I set the timezone by setting the TZ environment variable
to EST5EDT things go wrong since glibc computes the wrong time
from this information.
{UD} The problem is that people still use the braindamaged POSIX method to
select the timezone using the TZ environment variable with a format EST5EDT
or whatever. People, if you insist on using TZ instead of the timezone
database (see below), read the POSIX standard, the implemented behaviour is
correct! What you see is in fact the result of the decisions made while
POSIX.1 was created. We've only implemented the handling of TZ this way to
be POSIX compliant. It is not really meant to be used.
The alternative approach to handle timezones which is implemented is the
correct one to use: use the timezone database. This avoids all the problems
the POSIX method has plus it is much easier to use. Simply run the tzselect
shell script, answer the question and use the name printed in the end by
making a symlink /etc/localtime pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/NAME (NAME
is the returned value from tzselect). That's all. You never again have to
worry.
So, please avoid sending bug reports about time related problems if you use
the POSIX method and you have not verified something is really broken by
reading the POSIX standards.

?? The timezone string for Sydney/Australia is wrong since even when
daylight saving time is in effect the timezone string is EST.
{UD} The problem for some timezones is that the local authorities decided
to use the term "summer time" instead of "daylight saving time". In this
case the abbreviation character `S' is the same as the standard one. So,
for Sydney we have
Eastern Standard Time = EST
Eastern Summer Time = EST
Great! To get this bug fixed convince the authorities to change the laws
and regulations of the country this effects. glibc behaves correctly.
??make I've build make 3.77 against glibc 2.1 and now make gets
segmentation faults.
{AJ} GNU make 3.77 has support for 64 bit filesystems which is slightly
broken (and one of the new features in the GNU C library 2.1 is 64 bit
filesystem support :-( ). To get a working make you can use either make
3.75 or patch 3.77. A working patch is available via RedHat's Rawhide server
(ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/SRPMS/SRPMS/make-3.77-*src.rpm).

?? Why do so many programs using math functions fail on my AlphaStation?
{AO} The functions floor() and floorf() use an instruction that is not
implemented in some old PALcodes of AlphaStations. This may cause
`Illegal Instruction' core dumps or endless loops in programs that
catch these signals. Updating the firmware to a 1999 release has
fixed the problem on an AlphaStation 200 4/166.
?? The conversion table for character set XX does not match with
what I expect.
{UD} I don't doubt for a minute that some of the conversion tables contain
errors. We tried the best we can and relied on automatic generation of the
data to prevent human-introduced errors but this still is no guarantee. If
you think you found a problem please send a bug report describing it and
give an authoritive reference. The latter is important since otherwise
the current behaviour is as good as the proposed one.
Before doing this look through the list of known problem first:
- the GBK (simplified Chinese) encoding is based on Unicode tables. This
is good. These tables, however, differ slightly from the tables used
by the M$ people. The differences are these [+ Unicode, - M$]:
+0xA1AA 0x2015
+0xA844 0x2014
-0xA1AA 0x2014
-0xA844 0x2015
In addition the Unicode tables contain mappings for the GBK characters
0xA8BC, 0xA8BF, 0xA989 to 0xA995, and 0xFE50 to 0xFEA0.
- when mapping from EUC-CN to GBK and vice versa we ignore the fact that
the coded character at position 0xA1A4 maps to different Unicode
characters. Since the iconv() implementation can do whatever it wants
if it cannot directly map a character this is a perfectly good solution
since the semantics and appearance of the character does not change.
