| 10 | v3.2.2 Beta 3 Fix 1 (private build):
|
|---|
| 11 | ------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | Fixes to LIBC:
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | o Crash if calloc was called before main().
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | o TZ parsing of timezones such as PST8EDT.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | o sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() visibility.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | v3.2.2 Beta 3:
|
|---|
| 23 | --------------
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | A few new features and fixes.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | o Fixed a bunch of debug info problems.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | o Added large file support.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | o Enabled high memory support for LIBC. Two new options to GCC: -Zhigh-mem
|
|---|
| 32 | and -Zhigh-low. If the program is to be enabled for high memory use, specify
|
|---|
| 33 | -Zhigh-mem when linking.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | Note that socket is not high memory enabled yet.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | o Made LIBC preserve the FS selector.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | o Added random() and *rand48() from BSD.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | o Fixed crash with link386 and unresolved symbols.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | v3.2.2 Beta 2:
|
|---|
| 45 | --------------
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | A few bugfixes and a some new features (as usual).
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | o Added file locking support to LIBC.
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | o Fixed _System and _Optlink bugs and made _Optlink support floating
|
|---|
| 52 | point argument passing in registers.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | o Header updates related to limits and file locking primarily.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | o Timezone fixes.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | o Fixed some CRT init trouble in regards to getenv and putenv.
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | o And some other minor stuff..
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | v3.2.2 Beta 1:
|
|---|
| 64 | --------------
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | A few bugfixes and a some new features.
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | o Locale support in libc.
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | o Implemented a different approach to OMF and weak symbols. This new hack
|
|---|
| 71 | performs pre-linking before invoking the OMF linker generating new .def
|
|---|
| 72 | files if needed and an extra object file with aliases to resolve the weak
|
|---|
| 73 | symbols correctly.
|
|---|
| 74 | The old approach will be used used when GCC_WEAKSYMS is present in the
|
|---|
| 75 | environment.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | Please note that due to a bug in BFD, weak symbols don't work 100%
|
|---|
| 78 | correctly. This will be addressed as soon as we have performed the switch
|
|---|
| 79 | to a more recent version of binutils.
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | o A couple of new functions in libc, and a few corrections to existing
|
|---|
| 82 | in respect to namespaces.
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | o Addressed issues with calling conventions. We now detect incompatible
|
|---|
| 85 | calling conventions, emitting warnings and errors where appropriate.
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | o _Optlink is much better, but there are still some issues left. Passing
|
|---|
| 88 | prototyped floating point parameters to _Optlink doesn't work. Mixing
|
|---|
| 89 | of parameters which go into registers (eax, edx, ecx) and parameters
|
|---|
| 90 | which don't - void foo(int eax, struct sss s, int edx) - doesn't work.
|
|---|
| 91 | All these issues are being addressed and are expected to be fixed in
|
|---|
| 92 | the next build.
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | o Changed GCC to link with shared libc by default. This means that in
|
|---|
| 95 | order to link with the static libc one has to specify -static.
|
|---|
| 96 | It also means that -Zmtd or -Zcrtdll are no longer required for linking
|
|---|
| 97 | with shared libc and can be removed from all makescripts.
|
|---|
| 98 |
|
|---|
| 99 | o Changed EMXOMFLD defaults to ilink from Visual Age for C++ v3.6.5 or
|
|---|
| 100 | later (preferably later). The emxomfld usage output will instruct you
|
|---|
| 101 | on how to use older linkers. For VAC308 and VAC365 linkers /dbgpack
|
|---|
| 102 | is specified if debuginfo is to be generated.
|
|---|
| 103 | Emxomf checks for EMXOMFLD_TYPE=link386 when choosing debug info level.
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | o Shipping three extra libc dlls:
|
|---|
| 106 | libc02.dbg: Unstripped version of libc02.dll. This is identical
|
|---|
| 107 | except from the presense of debug info.
|
|---|
| 108 | libc02.prf: Linked together from profiled enabled libraries
|
|---|
| 109 | using kProfiler.
|
|---|
| 110 | libc02.elh: Standard libc but linked with an external eletrical
|
|---|
| 111 | fence heap from kLibDbg.
|
|---|
| 112 | These libc02.* dlls can be used instead of libc02.dll. kLibDbg and
|
|---|
| 113 | kProfiler is available in separate zip files at same location as the
|
|---|
| 114 | rest of the Innotek GCC suite. However these external tools are
|
|---|
| 115 | provided as is. (I might actually not find time to put them out yet.)
|
|---|
| 116 |
|
|---|
| 117 | o Distribution is splitted into several zips:
|
|---|
| 118 | -core.zip: All you really need.
|
|---|
| 119 | -dbg.zip: Map files, unstripped tools and libs, and libc02.elh.
|
|---|
| 120 | -prf.zip: Profiling libraries and libc02.prf.
|
|---|
| 121 | libc.zip: The runtime libraries. (included in core.)
|
|---|
| 122 | The big zip is everything.
|
|---|
| 123 |
|
|---|
| 124 | v3.2.2 Alpha 3:
|
|---|
| 125 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 126 |
|
|---|
| 127 | Primarily bugfixes.
|
|---|
| 128 |
|
|---|
| 129 | o Changed code generator for floating point truncations (double to int
|
|---|
| 130 | casts and such) so PM can freely mess up the fpu status.
|
|---|
| 131 |
|
|---|
| 132 | o We were using the wrong float.h in two sense. We're now using the
|
|---|
| 133 | correct one which includes all the PC defines and prototypes.
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | o Fixed a few issues with error defines and tcpip.
|
|---|
| 136 | Note that some of the error defines have changed value in the process
|
|---|
| 137 | so we could become compatible with the tcpip stack and FreeBSD.
|
|---|
| 138 |
|
|---|
| 139 | o Corrected bugs in a number of headers.
|
|---|
| 140 |
|
|---|
| 141 | o Added more OS/2 prototypes and imports. There is still work left on
|
|---|
| 142 | the header part,
|
|---|
| 143 |
|
|---|
| 144 | o Optimized emxomf debug info conversion.
|
|---|
| 145 |
|
|---|
| 146 | o Wrapped bsdselect for BSD 4.4 header mode to implement bsdselect().
|
|---|
| 147 |
|
|---|
| 148 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
| 149 |
|
|---|
| 150 |
|
|---|
| 151 | v3.2.2 Alpha 2:
|
|---|
| 152 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 153 |
|
|---|
| 154 | A few bugfixes and a couple of new features.
|
|---|
| 155 |
|
|---|
| 156 | o The TCP/IP headers and libraries scheme have been changed.
|
|---|
| 157 | The default is the current OS/2 tcpip toolkit (BSD 4.4 based).
|
|---|
| 158 | To target the older OS/2 tcpip stack (BSD 4.3 based) you must
|
|---|
| 159 | define TCPV40HDRS before including any TCP/IP headers and make
|
|---|
| 160 | sure usr/lib/tcpipv4 is searched before usr/lib (this is to get
|
|---|
| 161 | the right libsocket). It is recommended to use the -D compiler
|
|---|
| 162 | option for the define and either the LIBRARY_PATH or the -L
|
|---|
| 163 | compiler/linker option for the library.
|
|---|
| 164 |
|
|---|
| 165 | o There are a couple of new and updated based on FreeBSD 5.1.
|
|---|
| 166 | sys\stdint.h and inttypes.h (and a few internal once) are new.
|
|---|
| 167 | sys\types.h and unistd.h are the ones most heavily updated.
|
|---|
| 168 | We're working on getting the headers and libc in a better shape
|
|---|
| 169 | standardwise to easy compatability and portability.
|
|---|
| 170 |
|
|---|
| 171 | o A infinite loop in emxomf has been fixed.
|
|---|
| 172 |
|
|---|
| 173 | o Linker error on sopen() has been corrected.
|
|---|
| 174 |
|
|---|
| 175 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
| 176 |
|
|---|
| 177 |
|
|---|
| 178 | v3.2.2 Alpha 1:
|
|---|
| 179 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 180 |
|
|---|
| 181 | This is the first release from Innotek, and it contains the Innotek LIBC.
|
|---|
| 182 | In addition to the new LIBC there is a number of other major changes:
|
|---|
| 183 |
|
|---|
| 184 | o Name mangling in OMF mode have changed.
|
|---|
| 185 | Until this release emxomf used to pretty much strip one leading '_'
|
|---|
| 186 | from symbols when converting them to omf. This is now longer done
|
|---|
| 187 | chiefly in order to correctly support mangling calling conventions
|
|---|
| 188 | like __stdcall and __cdecl. This change have the following side
|
|---|
| 189 | effects:
|
|---|
| 190 | - _System and __cdecl no longer produces the same names and hence
|
|---|
| 191 | all OS/2 API which are _System must be declared as _System in
|
|---|
| 192 | order to link.
|
|---|
| 193 | - Assembly code might need an extra underscore to work, or
|
|---|
| 194 | perhaps change the prototypes to _System.
|
|---|
| 195 | - Global variables are prepended and underscore, so mixing VAC and
|
|---|
| 196 | GCC, or accessing globals from asm, take care.
|
|---|
| 197 | (MSC v6.0 does this too, so it's not any uncommon practise.)
|
|---|
| 198 |
|
|---|
| 199 | The OS/2 headers which are included are all updated to use _System.
|
|---|
| 200 |
|
|---|
| 201 | o TCPIP headers are updated a quite a bit to match the toolkit ones
|
|---|
| 202 | and to reflect the fact that the new libc does not a having common
|
|---|
| 203 | handle space for files and sockets. These changes aren't 100%
|
|---|
| 204 | completed yet, and usage probably will uncover some issues left in
|
|---|
| 205 | there. Also for the programmer there is the following changes in
|
|---|
| 206 | the apis provided:
|
|---|
| 207 | - TCPV40HDRS are supported and should work like with the toolkit
|
|---|
| 208 | headers. It will alias all functions to tcpip40_ editions
|
|---|
| 209 | (using #defines) so we get the right imports thru -llibsocket.
|
|---|
| 210 | - There is no support for sockets in select(). To do select on
|
|---|
| 211 | sockets you will have to use bsdselect() or os2_select().
|
|---|
| 212 | bsdselect() is only available for TCPV40HDRS. For
|
|---|
| 213 | !defined(TCPV40HDRS) fd_set is in the emx/bsd format and not the
|
|---|
| 214 | OS/2 tcpip v5.0 format.
|
|---|
| 215 | - Socket IOCTLs are not supported by the ioctl() libc function
|
|---|
| 216 | because of the separate handle space for sockets. For sockets
|
|---|
| 217 | so_ioctl() and os2_ioctl() are used. os2_ioctl() is not available
|
|---|
| 218 | when TCPV40HDRS is defined. According to the tcpref in v5.0
|
|---|
| 219 | so_ioctl() only supports BSD ioctls.
|
|---|
| 220 | - writev() and readv() also clashes with libc. For socket handles
|
|---|
| 221 | use so_writev() and so_readv().
|
|---|
| 222 |
|
|---|
| 223 | o The prefered OMF linker is now ilink. link386 will fail with an odd
|
|---|
| 224 | error message if you tell gcc/g++ to make debug info. Set the
|
|---|
| 225 | EMXOMFLD_LINKER environment variable to value ilink in order to use
|
|---|
| 226 | ilink as OMF linker.
|
|---|
| 227 | It likely that we will change the default OMF linker to ilink in an
|
|---|
| 228 | later version of the GCC suite.
|
|---|
| 229 |
|
|---|
| 230 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
