Thu Dec 19 23:28:33 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * resolv/resolv.h: Update from BIND 4.9.5-P1. * resolv/res_comp.c: Likewise. * resolv/res_debug.c: Likewise. * resolv/Banner: Update version number. Thu Dec 19 20:58:53 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * elf/dlfcn.h: Add extern "C" wrapper. * io/utime.h: Don't define NULL since this isn't allowed in POSIX. * io/sys/stat.h: Declare `lstat' only if __USE_BSD || __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED. * locale/locale.h: Define NULL. * math/math.c: Don't include <errno.h> to define math errors. * stdlib/stdlib.h: Likewise. * posix/unistd.h: Don't declare environ. * posix/sys/utsname.h (struct utsname): Declare member domainname as __domainname is !__USE_GNU. * signal/signal.h: Declare size_t only if __USE_BSD || __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED. * stdio/stdio.h: Don't declare cuserid when __USE_POSIX, but instead when __USE_XOPEN. * string/string.h: Define strndup only if __USE_GNU. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/timebits.h: Define CLOCKS_PER_SEC as 1000000 per X/Open standard. * features.h: Add code to recognize _POSIX_C_SOURCE value 199309. Define __USE_POSIX199309. * posix/unistd.h: Declare fdatasync only if __USE_POSIX199309. * time/time.c: Declare nanosleep only if __USE_POSIX199309. Patches by Rüdiger Helsch <rh@unifix.de>. * locale/locale.h: Add declaration of newlocale and freelocale. * new-malloc/Makefile (distibute): Add mtrace.awk. (dist-routines): Add mcheck and mtrace. (install-lib, non-lib.a): Define as libmcheck.a. * new-malloc/malloc.h: Add declaration of __malloc_initialized. * new-malloc/mcheck.c: New file. * new-malloc/mcheck.h: New file. * new-malloc/mtrace.c: New file. * new-malloc/mtrace.awk: New file. * posix/unistd.h: Correct prototype for usleep. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/usleep.c: De-ANSI-declfy. Correct return type. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/usleep.c: Real implementation based on nanosleep. * signal/signal.h: Change protoype of __sigpause to take two arguments. Remove prototype for sigpause. Add two different macros named sigpause selected when __USE_BSD or __USE_XOPEN are defined. This is necessary since the old BSD definition of theis function collides with the X/Open definition. * sysdeps/posix/sigpause.c: Change function definition to also fit X/Open definition. * sysdeps/libm-i387/e_exp.S: Make sure stack is empty when the function is left. * sysdeps/libm-i387/e_expl.S: Likewise. Patch by HJ Lu. 1996-12-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * many, many files: Spelling corrections. * catgets/catgetsinfo.h (mmapped): Renamed from mmaped (in struct catalog_info.status). * mach/err_kern.sub (err_codes_unix), string/stratcliff.c (main): Fix spelling in message. * po/libc.pot: Fix spelling in message for `zic'; this anticipates a fix in the tzcode distribution. Wed Dec 18 15:48:02 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * time/strftime.c: Implement ^ flag to cause output be converted to use upper case characters. * time/zic.c: Update from ADO tzcode1996n. Wed Dec 18 14:29:24 1996 Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> * time/strftime.c (add): Don't change global `i' until all is over. Define NULL is not already defined. Tue Dec 17 09:49:03 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * libio/iovsprintf.c (_IO_vsprintf): Change `&sf' to `&sf._sbf._f' to avoid the need for a cast. * libio/iovsscanf.c (_IO_vsscanf): Likewise. * sunrpc/rpc/xdr.h: Add prototype for xdr_free.

Open jobs for finishing GNU libc:
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
Status: October 1996
|
||
|
||
If you have time and talent to take over any of the jobs below please
|
||
contact <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu>
|
||
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
[ 1] Port to new platforms or test current version on formerly supported
|
||
platforms.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 2] Test compliance with standards. If you have access to recent
|
||
standards (IEEE, ISO, ANSI, X/Open, ...) and/or test suites you
|
||
could do some checks as the goal is to be compliant with all
|
||
standards if they do not contradict each other.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 3] Write translations for the GNU libc message for the so far
|
||
unsupported languages. GNU libc is fully internationalized and
|
||
users can immediately benefit from this.
|
||
|
||
Take a look at the matrix in
|
||
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS
|
||
for the current status (of course better use a mirror of prep).
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 4] Write wordexp() function; this is described in POSIX.2, the
|
||
header <wordexp.h> already exists.
|
||
|
||
Implementation idea: use some functions from bash.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 5] Write `long double' versions of the math functions. This should be
|
||
done in collaboration with the NetBSD and FreeBSD people.
|
||
|
||
The libm is in fact fdlibm (not the same as in Linux libc).
|
||
|
||
**** Partly done. But we need someone with numerical experiences for
|
||
the rest.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 6] If you enjoy assembler programming (as I do --drepper :-) you might
|
||
be interested in writing optimized versions for some functions.
|
||
Especially the string handling functions can be optimized a lot.
|
||
|
||
Take a look at
|
||
|
||
Faster String Functions
|
||
Henry Spencer, University of Toronto
|
||
Usenix Winter '92, pp. 419--428
|
||
|
||
or just ask. Currently mostly i?86 and Alpha optimized versions
|
||
exist. Please ask before working on this to avoid duplicate
|
||
work.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 7] Write nftw() function. Perhaps it might be good to reimplement the
|
||
ftw() function as well to share most of the code.
|
||
|
||
**** Almost done!
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 8] Write AVL-tree based tsearch() et.al. functions. Currently only
|
||
a very simple algorithm is used.
|
||
There is a public domain version but using this would cause problems
|
||
with the assignment.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 9] Extend regex and/or rx to work with wide characters and complete
|
||
implementation of character class and collation class handling.
|
||
|
||
It is planed to do a complete rewrite.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[10] Write access function for netmasks, bootparams, and automount
|
||
databases for nss_files and nss_db module.
|
||
The functions should be embedded in the nss scheme. This is not
|
||
hard and not all services must be supported at once.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[11] Rewrite utmp/wtmp functions to use database functions. This is much
|
||
better than the normal flat file format.
|
||
|
||
Please contact bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu before starting to avoid
|
||
duplicated work.
