Thu Nov 14 02:00:33 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * inet/Makefile (headers): Add aliases.h. (routines): Add getaliasent_r, getaliasent, getaliasname, and getaliasname_r. * aliases.h: New file. * inet/aliases.h: New file. * inet/getaliasent.c: New file. * inet/getaliasent_r.c: New file. * inet/getaliasname.c: New file. * inet/getaliasname_r.c: New file. * nss/Makefile (databases): Add alias. * nss/alias-lookup.c: New file. * nss/databases.def: Add aliases and publickey. * nss/nss_db/db-alias.c: New file. * nss/nss_files/files-alias.c: New file. * inet/getnetgrent_r.c (__internal_getnetgrent): Buffer length argument to lookup function is of type size_t. (innetgr): Likewise. * nss/getXXbyYY_r.c: Likewise. * nss/getXXent_r.c: Likewise. * nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c: Likewise. * nss/getXXbyYY.c: Don't provide static buffer. Resize if call failed because buffer was too small. * nss/getXXent.c: Likewise. * nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c: Correct handling of shared file.

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] 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, 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[12] 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.
