* config.make.in (defines): Add @USE_NEW_MALLOC@.
* Makefile.in: Define USE_NEW_MALLOC to -DUSE_NEW_MALLOC if
we use the new malloc.
* malloc.h: Use either <malloc/malloc.h> or <new-malloc/malloc.h>
depending on USE_NEW_MALLOC.
Fix some more POSIX.1 problems.
* libio/fileops.c (_IO_file_underflow): Set errno to EBADF if used
on a write-only stream.
(_IO_file_overflow): Set errno to EBADF if used on a read-only
stream.
(_IO_file_seekoff): POSIX.1 requires that fseek() after an fflush()
call really positions the file offset to the correct position
and no read-ahead happens.
* locale/C-monetary.c: Set mon_grouping file to "" and "\377"
to pass POSIX test suite.
* stdio-common/vfprintf.c: Handle empty string as grouping command
correctly.
* stdlib/grouping.h: Likewise.
* misc/syslog.c: Case first argument of __libc_cleanup_region_start.
* signal/sigsetops.h: Update copyright. Don't include ansidecl.h.
* stdio-common/printf_fp.c: Update copyright.
Sun Dec 8 16:39:28 1996 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.pfalz.de>
* time/Makefile: Compile ap.c with NO_MCHECK flag if new-malloc
used (not otherwise).
* misc/syslog.c (vsyslog): Cast argument to __libc_cleanup_region
to get Hurd macros right.
This directory contains the version 1.96 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 is known to run on the following
configurations:
*-*-gnu GNU Hurd
i[3456]86-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Intel
m68k-*-linux Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0
alpha-*-linux Linux-2.0 on DEC Alpha
Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
versions) used to run on the following configurations:
alpha-dec-osf1
i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
i[3456]86-*-isc3
i[3456]86-*-sco3.2
i[3456]86-*-sco3.2v4
i[3456]86-*-sysv
i[3456]86-*-sysv4
i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
i[3456]86-sequent-bsd
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
Whether this is still true for this release is unknown. 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-1.96-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.
