Sun Oct 13 22:52:56 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * shlib-versions: Add version number/name for ld.so. * Makeconfig: Move definition of rtld-installed-name after inclusion of soversions.mk. Don't add . before version number from shlib-versions file when when name does not start with digit. This is needed for ld.so. Sat Oct 12 20:31:58 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * libio/iogets.c: Warn when gets used. * stdio/gets.c: Strengthen the warning. Sat Oct 12 23:10:43 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * libio/Makefile [_LIBC_REENTRANT] (routines): Add peekc. * libio/libio.h: Add prototypes for _IO_getc, _IO_putc, _IO_feof, _IO_ferror, _IO_peekc_locked, and _IO_ftrylockfile. Remove prototypes for _IO_getc_locked and _IO_putc_locked. [_IO_MTSAFE_IO]: Add weak aliases for _IO_flockfile and _IO_funlockfile. [! _IO_MTSAFE_IO]: Define _IO_ftrylockfile as empty. Define _IO_getc, _IO_peekc, _IO_putc, _IO_feof, _IO_ferror to appropriate values according to __USE_REENTRANT. * libio/stdio.h: Add prototype for ftrylockfile. [!_LIBC]: Define getc_locked, getchar_locked, putchar_locked, getc, getchar, putc, and putchar using _IO_* names. * libio/feof.c: Rename to _IO_feof and make feof weak alias. * libio/ferror.c: Rename to _IO_ferror and make ferror weak alias. * libio/getc.c: Rename to _IO_getc and make getc weak alias. * libio/putc.c: Rename to _IO_putc and make putc weak alias. * libio/putc_u.c: Don't define alias _IO_putc_unlocked. * libio/peekc.c: New file. * stdio-common/vfprintf.c (vfprintf): Unconditionally call __flockfile. * sysdeps/stub/locfile.c [USE_IN_LIBIO]: Also define _IO_* names. * crypt/Makefile (tests): Add md5test and md5c-test. * crypt/md5-crypt.c: Correct various error. Now md5_process_bytes is called, the buffer limit is honoured and a loop in a inner loop is corrected. * crypt/md5.h (struct md5_ctx): Add new fields. Add prototypes for new functions. * crypt/md5.c (md5_init_ctx): Initialize new fields. (md5_finish_ctx): New function. Like md5_read_ctx but before perform correct finalization. (md5_process_bytes): New function. Similar to md5_proces_block, but does not require input size to be multiple of 64. (md5_stream): Rewrite using md5_process_bytes and md5_finish_ctx. (md5_buffer): Likewise. (md5_process_block): Count number of bytes. * crypt/md5test.c: New file. Test program for MD5 functions. * crypt/md5c-test.c: New file: Test program for MD5 crypt function. * po/fr.po: Update. * time/strptime.c: Recognize %s, %u, %g, and %G format. * posix/getopt.c: Add some more casts and initializations to prevent warnings. Sat Oct 12 16:15:29 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/speed.c (speeds): Removed. We provide an extra function to provide this functionality. (cfgetospeed): Simply return masked value. (cfsetospeed): Don't use speeds array and so we can simply test the value of SPEED for illegal values. * termios/cfsetspeed.c: Rewrite. We convert here between the real values and the B* constants. Changes suggested by Uwe Ohse <uwe@tirka.gun.de>. Fri Oct 11 21:45:34 1996 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.pfalz.de> * locale/programs/xstrdup.c: Define prototypes. * locale/programs/xmalloc.c: Likewise. * stdio-common/xbug.c (main): Change definition to avoid warning. Fri Oct 11 23:36:31 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu> * db/hash/hash.c (__hash_open): Correctly test for a read-write db.

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, publickey, automount,
|
||
and 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[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.
