Mon Aug 12 03:31:58 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * nss/nsswitch.c (__nss_configure_lookup): New function. Allows to specify services. * nss/XXX-lookup.h: Rename database variable and make global. * nss/databases.def: New file. Real names of all databases. * nss/nss.h: New file. Contains declaration useful for users and service developers. * nss/nsswitch.h: Move some declarations to nss/nss.h. * nss.h: New file. Wrapper around nss/nss.h. * nss/Makefile (headers): Add nss.h. (distributes): Add databases.h. Sun Aug 11 16:19:42 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> Help the poor people with fast machines by making sure only one `ar' commands works on the library. * autolock.sh: New file. Written by Tom Tromey. * Makerules (do-ar): Call autolock.sh shell script instead of directly using `ar'. * config.make.in: Make configuration variable AUTOLOCK which gets initialized by configure. * configure.in: Define variable AUTOLOCK to point to autolock.sh script and mark it to substitute. * string/Makefile: Add -fno-builtin for tst-strlen.c, too. * elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_symbol): Allow self-referencing. Patch by David Mosberger-Tang. Sun Aug 11 01:12:38 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h (elf_alpha_fix_plt): Optimize LD_BIND_NOW startup by moving Icache flush from here ... (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): ... to here. (ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK): Delete; it is unused. * sysdeps/alpha/divrem.h: Update comment to reflect the actual calling conventions. The code is already correct. Sun Aug 11 01:06:42 1996 Richard Henderson <rth@tamu.edu> * string/Makefile: Compile tester with -fno-builtin as we want to test our implementations, not gcc's.
This directory contains the version 1.93 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 has been ported to the following configurations: alpha-dec-osf1 i[345]86-*-bsd4.3 i[345]86-*-gnu i[345]86-*-isc2.2 i[345]86-*-isc3 i[345]86-*-linux i[345]86-*-sco3.2 i[345]86-*-sco3.2v4 i[345]86-*-sysv i[345]86-*-sysv4 i[345]86-force_cpu386-none i[345]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 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-1.93-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.
