Thu Aug 29 00:28:08 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * stdio-common/printf_fp.c (__printf_fp): Use default value `.` if `decimal' char is 0. * C-numeric.c (not_available): New constant. (_nl_C_LC_NUMERIC): Use `not_available' for grouping value. * nss/nsswitch.conf: Example configuration file. * nss/db-Makefile: Example Makefile for generation of databases for nss_db. * nss/Makefile (distribute): Add nsswitch.conf and db-Makefile. 1996-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * C-messages.c (_nl_C_LC_MESSAGES): Set yesexpr to "^[yY]" and noexpr to "^[nN]"; this conforms to POSIX.2. * C-time.c (_nl_C_LC_TIME): Change %d to %e in d_t_format, to conform to POSIX.2. 1996-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * C-monetary.c (not_available): New constant. (_nl_C_LC_MONETARY): Set mon_decimal_point to "", and set mon_grouping, int_frac_digits, frac_digits, p_cs_precedes, p_sep_by_space, n_cs_precedes, n_sep_by_space, p_sign_posn, and n_sign_posn to CHAR_MAX, as required by the POSIX Standard. Wed Aug 28 23:12:28 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c: Correct function names. They must be `_nss_db_*' instead of `_nss_files_*'. (lookup): `parse_line' returns 1 if succesful. * nss/nss_files/files-service.c (servbyname): Key for database must also contain protocol names. (servbypt): Likewise. Test must also check for protocol. Add `proto' argument. Tue Aug 27 09:56:13 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * MakeTAGS ($P/subdirs.pot): Prefix all file names, not only the first one. Fri Aug 16 16:11:25 1996 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu> * nss/nss_dns/dns-host.c (_nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r): Treat EPFNOSUPPORT and EAFNOSUPPORT as implying NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL just like ECONNREFUSED already does. (_nss_dns_gethostbyaddr_r): Likewise. * nss/nss_dns/dns-network.c (_nss_dns_getnetbyname_r): Likewise. (_nss_dns_getnetbyaddr_r): Likewise. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/socket.c (socket): For message transmission and RPC errors that indicate that the socket server is not really present and able to do its job, turn the error into EPFNOSUPPORT. * sysdeps/generic/sbrk.c (__sbrk): Get kernel brk address always only if in static libc or if statically linked program uses libc.so.

Open jobs for finishing GNU libc:
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
Status: August 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 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 optimized versions exist.
|
||
Alpha versions are on their way, so please ask before working
|
||
on this.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[10] Add mmap() support to malloc().
|
||
Doug Lea's malloc implementation might give some ideas. Perhaps
|
||
switching completly to his implementation is an option if it
|
||
a) can work without mmap() support (not all system GNU libc
|
||
is running on have mmap)
|
||
b) is without mmap support at least as fast as the current
|
||
implementation
|
||
c) will be extended with the current hooks and additional functions
|
||
|
||
Please contact bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu before starting to avoid
|
||
duplicated work.
|
||
|
||
[11] Write access function for netmasks, bootparams, netgroup, publickey,
|
||
automount, aliases 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.
