Sat Dec 7 03:24:36 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * configure.in: Discard error message from test in test for bash-2.0. * io/getpw.c: Don't apply getcwd on user supplied buffer. Instead always use temporary buffer and only copy the result. Patch by HJ Lu. * stdlib/canonicalize.c: Likewise. * libio/fileops.c: Change comments according to libg++2.8b5. * libio/iosetvbuf.c: Follow change in libg++-2.8b5 to clear unbuffered flag. Reported by HJ Lu. * manual/nss.texi: Correct prototypes. * misc/syslog.c: Make reentrant. Catch SIGPIPE signal to prevent crash if syslog daemon is restarted. * stdlib/rand_r.c: New file. Implementation of POSIX.2 function rand_r. * stdlib/Makefile (routines): Add rand_r. * sysdeps/stub/libc-lock.h: Define __libc_lock_trylock and __libc_mutex_lock. * configure.in: Add --disable-sanity-check option. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.in: If linuxthreads or des-crypt are not available and --disbale-sanity-check is not given abort with a message. Thu Dec 5 19:19:53 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * posix/glob.c: Tests against STDC_HEADERS should also test __GNU_LIBRARY__. Thu Dec 5 16:20:55 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * misc/err.c (vwarn): Set errno again before using %m format. Thu Dec 5 10:14:05 1996 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.pfalz.de> * grp/grp.h: Add declaration of __getgrent_r. * io/fts.c (fts_build): Remove "register" from variables dirbuf and dp since their address is needed. * sysdeps/posix/getcwd.c (__getcwd): Remove "register" from variable d since d's address is needed. * misc/tst-dirname.c (main): Provide prototype. * misc/ioctltst.c (main): Dito. * Makefile: Add gnu/lib-names.h to install-others before including Makerules. Wed Dec 4 16:00:09 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/socketvar.h: New file. Simply use <sys/socket.h>. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Add sys/socketvar.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [$(subdir)=inet)]: Add sys/socketvar.h to sysdep_headers. since the value might be outside the range of the `long int'.
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.
