Thu Jun 6 07:32:14 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu> * resolv/gethnamaddr.c (struct hstorage): Make NAME field a pointer. (_gethtbyname2): Remove ALIAS variable. Initialize NAME field of SELF and TARGET to 0. Add SELF_NAME_SIZE static variable. Add loop to call gethostname until the space we allocated is enough. Use malloced strings instead of fixed size buffers. <stdlib.h>, <unistd.h>: New includes. * sysdeps/generic/sys/socket.h (PF_INET6, AF_INET6): New macros. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/errlist.c (_sys_errlist): Add EILSEQ. (_sys_nerr): Initialize to 107. Update _HURD_ERRNOS consistency check. * stdlib/canonicalize.c (canonicalize): Use pathconf for PATH_MAX, not sysconf. * login/login.c [!PATH_MAX] (PATH_MAX): Define to be 1024 if not already defined. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/setitimer.c (timer_thread): Supply SIGCODE argument to __msg_sig_post_request. * hurd/hurdmalloc.c: Changes to bring in line with the hurd libthreads/malloc.c: (more_memory): Use assert_perror instead of MACH_CALL. "cthread_internals.h": Include removed. (realloc): Use LOG2_MIN_SIZE. (LOG2_MIN_SIZE): New macro. (realloc): Don't bother allocating a new block if the new size request fits in the old one and doesn't waste any space. Only free the old block if we successfully got a new one. [MCHECK] (struct header): New type. (union header): Only define if !MCHECK. (HEADER_SIZE, HEADER_NEXT, HEADER_FREE, HEADER_CHECK): New macros. [MCHECK] (MIN_SIZE): Add correct definition for this case. (more_memory, malloc, free, realloc): Use above macros, and add appropiate checks & frobs in MCHECK case.
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.
