* strftime.c (strftime): When invoking self, check whether the subsidiary invocation failed. Use "???" (not "") to denote unknown time zone information. Make this source file portable to standalone contexts (e.g. GNU Emacs). <config.h>: Include if HAVE_CONFIG_H is defined. (HAVE_LIMITS_H, HAVE_MBLEN, HAVE_TM_ZONE, STDC_HEADERS): New symbols, defined if _LIBC or if <config.h> defines them. <ansidecl.h>, "../locale/localeinfo.h": Include only if _LIBC. <sys/types.h>: New include; some hosts require it for `time_t'. <ctype.h>: Include only if HAVE_MBLEN (since it's only needed then). <limits.h>: Include only if HAVE_LIMITS_H. <stddef.h, stdlib.h, string.h>: Include only if STDC_HEADERS. (memcpy): Define in terms of bcopy if !STDC_HEADERS. (__P, PTR): Define if not already defined. (__tzname, __daylight, __timezone): Remove macros; no longer needed. (add, strftime): Don't use NULL, for portability to some weird hosts. (fmt): If !_LIBC, don't assume sprintf returns a count. (week, strftime): Use old-style function declarations. (weekday_name, month_name): New constants. (strftime): Use traditional C values if locale support isn't available. Use `const' instead of CONST. For time zones, use tm_zone if possible, then fall back on tzname. Don't check for multibyte characters unless mblen is supported. Use formats like %02d instead of %.2d, for portability to older hosts.

(__vfscanf): Eliminate flag vars that were redundant with FLAGS bits. Fix bug in recognition of %ll flag for long long. Fix overeager checks for conflicting type modifiers. With ' flag, match thousands separators for decimal numbers. Tue Jan 23 22:02:40 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * locale/Makefile (CFLAGS-locfile-lex.c): New variable. * resolv/Makefile (CFLAGS): Disable some warnings. * sysdeps/generic/Makefile (elided-routines): Removed hypot. (+gccwarn): Set with override. * stdio-common/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-printf.c): New variable. * posix/Makefile (CFLAGS-regex.c): New variable. * malloc/Makefile (CFLAGS-obstack.c): New variable. * io/Makefile (CFLAGS-fts.c): New variable. * io/fts.c (fts_open): Use prototypes for COMPAR decl.

Tue Jan 23 19:49:54 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Support additional args in --list mode for debugging: look them up as symbol names and print values. * misc/getttyent.c (skip, value): Declare with prototypes in file scope. * csu/initfini.c (_init): Explicitly set a variable that is pointer to volatile with the address of __gmon_start__, to avoid the test being optimized out.
This directory contains the version 1.09.6 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 i386-bsd4.3 i386-force_cpu386-none i386-gnu (for Hurd development only) i386-isc2.2 i386-isc3 i386-sco3.2 i386-sco3.2v4 i386-sequent-bsd i386-sysv i386-sysv4 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-1.09.6-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.
