* resolv/gethnamaddr.c (struct hstorage): Make NAME field a pointer.
(_gethtbyname2): Remove ALIAS variable.
Initialize NAME field of SELF and TARGET to 0.
Add SELF_NAME_SIZE static variable.
Add loop to call gethostname until the space we allocated is enough.
Use malloced strings instead of fixed size buffers.
<stdlib.h>, <unistd.h>: New includes.
* sysdeps/generic/sys/socket.h (PF_INET6, AF_INET6): New macros.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/errlist.c (_sys_errlist): Add EILSEQ.
(_sys_nerr): Initialize to 107.
Update _HURD_ERRNOS consistency check.
* stdlib/canonicalize.c (canonicalize): Use pathconf for PATH_MAX,
not sysconf.
* login/login.c [!PATH_MAX] (PATH_MAX): Define to be 1024 if not
already defined.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/setitimer.c (timer_thread): Supply SIGCODE
argument to __msg_sig_post_request.
* hurd/hurdmalloc.c: Changes to bring in line with the hurd
libthreads/malloc.c:
(more_memory): Use assert_perror instead of MACH_CALL.
"cthread_internals.h": Include removed.
(realloc): Use LOG2_MIN_SIZE.
(LOG2_MIN_SIZE): New macro.
(realloc): Don't bother allocating a new block if the
new size request fits in the old one and doesn't waste any space.
Only free the old block if we successfully got a new one.
[MCHECK] (struct header): New type.
(union header): Only define if !MCHECK.
(HEADER_SIZE, HEADER_NEXT, HEADER_FREE, HEADER_CHECK): New macros.
[MCHECK] (MIN_SIZE): Add correct definition for this case.
(more_memory, malloc, free, realloc): Use above macros, and add
appropiate checks & frobs in MCHECK case.
This directory contains the version 1.09.6 test release of the GNU C Library.
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
Some bugs surely remain.
As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to the following
configurations:
alpha-dec-osf1
i386-bsd4.3
i386-force_cpu386-none
i386-gnu (for Hurd development only)
i386-isc2.2
i386-isc3
i386-sco3.2
i386-sco3.2v4
i386-sequent-bsd
i386-sysv
i386-sysv4
i960-nindy960-none
m68k-hp-bsd4.3
m68k-mvme135-none
m68k-mvme136-none
m68k-sony-newsos3
m68k-sony-newsos4
m68k-sun-sunos4
mips-dec-ultrix4
mips-sgi-irix4
sparc-sun-solaris2
sparc-sun-sunos4
Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port,
please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.
The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
called `glibc-1.09.6-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
[129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library.
The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please
send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and
not to the library bug-reporting address.
The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.
Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
