1997-01-28 04:23 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * version.h (VERSION): Bump to 2.0.1. * posix/getopt.c: Handle another problem introduced by the nonoption_flags array. We must be able to work with reordered argv arrays. Reported by Andreas Schwab. 1997-01-28 02:38 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/clone.S: Correct handling of new 1997-01-27 17:34 Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@weber.uni-paderborn.de> * nis/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h: Correct definitions and types in file so that it works with yp.h. 1997-01-27 13:28 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * malloc/malloc.h (__malloc_initialized) [_LIBC]: Define as __libc_malloc_initialized so that this variable is not shared with other users of GNU malloc. Suggested by Martin von Loewis <martin@mira.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de>. * mcheck.h: Correct typo. Use malloc/ instead of new-malloc/. * sysdeps/i386/Makefile (CFLAGS-dl-load.c, CFLAGS-dl-reloc.c): New variables to prevent warnings. * sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h (fixup): Add prototype and declare using attribute regparm. (ELF_MACHINE_RUNTIME_TRAMPOLINE): Rewrite so that no register is changed by the resolver code. 1997-01-14 14:20 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * malloc/malloc.c (weak_variable): Define. (__malloc_initialize_hook, __free_hook, __malloc_hook, __realloc_hook, __memalign_hook): Make them weak definitions. 1997-01-26 11:35 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getdents.c: Don't write beyond buffer limits, correctly take structure padding into account, use correct offset when resetting the stream, change heuristic to assume an average name length of 14 characters. 1997-01-25 18:06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/termbits.h: Protect against multiple inclusion. See ChangeLog.6 for earlier changes.
This directory contains the version 2.0 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-gnu Linux-2.0 on Intel m68k-*-linux-gnu Linux-2.0 on Motorola 680x0 alpha-*-linux-gnu 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-crypt-2.0.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.ifi.uio.no [129.240.64.21], 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.ifi.uio.no; 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. Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be used together with GNU libc. They are designed in a way to ease the installation by integrating them in the libc source tree. Simply get the add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure' script to tell where the add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for more details. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port the GNU C library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html. 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. We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which is install together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu>. Simply run this shell script and fill in the information. Nevertheless you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu> as normal electronic mails. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions.
