11 | v3.2.2 Beta 4:
|
---|
12 | --------------
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | (The changelog is removed, thus the release notes are more detailed.)
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | New features and fixes:
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
18 | o Filehandle rewrite. Files, pipes and sockets now share the same
|
---|
19 | handle space.
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | o GCC defines __INNOTEK_LIBC__=0x005.
|
---|
22 | The value reflects the LIBC version, form: 0xGMM
|
---|
23 | Where G=major version and MM=middle version numbers.
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | o Changed library search algorithms for the linkers (emxomfld
|
---|
26 | and ld). Three variations, static, shared and shared+dll.
|
---|
27 | (The options indicated corresponds to what binutils 2.12.x
|
---|
28 | documents.)
|
---|
29 | static: (-Bstatic, -non_shared, -dn, -static)
|
---|
30 | 1. libfoo_s.a
|
---|
31 | 2. foo_s.a
|
---|
32 | 3. libfoo.a
|
---|
33 | 4. foo.a
|
---|
34 | shared: (default, -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
|
---|
35 | 1. libfoo_dll.a
|
---|
36 | 2. foo_dll.a
|
---|
37 | 3. libfoo.a
|
---|
38 | 4. foo.a
|
---|
39 | 5. libfoo_s.a
|
---|
40 | 6. foo_s.a
|
---|
41 | shared+dll: (-Zdll-search with -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
|
---|
42 | 1. libfoo_dll.a
|
---|
43 | 2. foo_dll.a
|
---|
44 | 3. libfoo.a
|
---|
45 | 4. foo.a
|
---|
46 | 5. foo.dll
|
---|
47 | 6. libfoo_s.a
|
---|
48 | 7. foo_s.a
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | o Added some deadlock checking/termination checks to semphores.
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | o Added macros to os2emx.h for preserving FPU control word and
|
---|
53 | applied these to certing read and write operations in LIBC.
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | o Added feature to emxomfld to automatically convert a.out
|
---|
56 | libraries and objects to OMF (using temporary files). Enabled
|
---|
57 | by default but can be disabled by the option -Zno-autoconv.
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | o Added support to emximp for dlls.
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 | o Added support for automatic conversion of dlls to temporary
|
---|
62 | import libraries emxomfld and ld.
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | o Added getopt_long() and changed getopt() to FreeBSD
|
---|
65 | implementations.
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | o Added a few more code page aliases.
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | o Added optional breakpoint in abort. The presense of the env.var.
|
---|
70 | LIBC_BREAKPOINT_ABORT triggers the breakpoint instruction.
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | o Added syslog interfaces (contrib from Yuri Dario).
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | o Added to libc and updated BSD db code to FreeBSD 5.1 level.
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | o Added to libc and updated regex code to FreeBSD 5.1 level.
|
---|
77 |
|
---|
78 | o Ported the posix spawn api from GLIBC v2.3.2.
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | o Updated with os2emx.h flags for DosQueryMemState().
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | o Changed size_t to unsigned int (from unsigned long int) and
|
---|
83 | ptrdiff_t to signed int (from signed long int) to comply with
|
---|
84 | most of the other i386 environments.
|
---|
85 |
|
---|
86 | o Changed abort and default signal termination messages to say
|
---|
87 | which process it's printed from.
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | o Changed the glob() and globfree() implemenation with a port of
|
---|
90 | the FreeBSD 5.1 implemenation.
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | o Changed so_ioctl() to os2_ioctl() to better match the toolkit.
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | o Changed time_t to be signed as in BSD & linux.
|
---|
95 | (Negative values means date/time before epoc.)
|
---|
96 |
|
---|
97 | o Changed to FreeBSD implementation of difftime().
|
---|
98 |
|
---|

104 |
|
---|
105 | o Fixed waitpid() to respect the WNOHANG flag.
|
---|
106 |
|
---|
107 | o Fixed strerror() to set errno if an invalid error number is
|
---|
108 | specified.
|
---|
109 |
|
---|
110 | o Fixed problem with emxexp emitting ordinal without being told.
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | o Fixed broken setenv().
|
---|
113 |
|
---|
114 | o Fixed errno value for read() and write() when the handle isn't
|
---|
115 | opened for that operation.
|
---|
116 |
|
---|
117 | o Fixed a bad record length problem in emxomf.
|
---|
118 |
|
---|
119 | o Fixed type_tag too long issue in emxomf.
|
---|
120 |
|
---|
121 | o Fixed repetition of main source file in HLL debuginfo (emxomf).
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | o Fixed weakld problem with selfrefering aliases.
|
---|
124 |
|
---|
125 | o Fixed weakld problem with PUBLIC and COMM clash.
|
---|
126 |
|
---|
127 | o Fixed problem with streams not being flushed on termination.
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | o Fixed define clash in float.h when in C99 mode.
|
---|
130 |
|
---|
131 | o Fixed abend in GCC if TMPDIR or TMP was ending with a slash.
|
---|
132 |
|
---|
133 | o Fixed crash in ld when having fixups to weak symbols.
|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | o Fixed bad conversion of dll0*.o to OMF, the OMF version got an
|
---|
136 | unwanted stack object.
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | o New functions:
|
---|
139 | isblank(), ishexnumber(), isnumber(), mempcpy(), realpath(),
|
---|

|
---|
141 | strerror_r()
|
---|
142 |
|
---|
143 | o New functions & globals (from FreeBSD 5.1):
|
---|
144 | imaxabs(), imaxdiv(), strtoimax(), strtoumax(), hcreate(),
|
---|
145 | hdestroy(), hsearch(), insque(), lfind(), lsearch(),
|
---|
146 | remque(), tdelete(), tfind(), tsearch(), twalk(), reallocf(),
|
---|
147 | strsignal(), sys_signame, sys_siglist, sys_nsig, regcomp(),
|
---|
148 | regerror(), regexec(), regfree(), + bsd db functions.
|
---|
149 |
|
---|
150 | o New functions (from GLIBC 2.3.2):
|
---|
151 | error(), error_at_line(), strndup(), argz_add(),
|
---|
152 | argz_add_sep(), argz_append(), argz_count(), argz_create(),
|
---|
153 | argz_create_sep(), argz_delete(), argz_extract(),
|
---|
154 | argz_insert(), argz_next(), argz_replace(), argz_stringify(),
|
---|
155 | posix_spawnp() posix_spawn(), posix_spawnattr_destroy(),
|
---|
156 | posix_spawnattr_getflags(), posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(),
|
---|
157 | posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(),
|
---|
158 | posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(),

173 | nerrno.h (toolkit compatability)
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | o New headers (from FreeBSD 5.1):
|
---|
176 | search.h, sys/queue.h, net/if_types.h
|
---|
177 |
|
---|
178 | o New headers (from GLIBC 2.3.2):
|
---|
179 | features.h (somewhat crippled),
|
---|
180 | sys/gnu/cdefs.h (included from BSD styled sys/cdefs.h)

183 | stddef.h (FreeBSD, sys/stddef.h (FreeBSD),
|
---|
184 | ulsitem.h (missing defines), os2emx.h
|
---|
185 |
|
---|
186 | o What did I forget...
|
---|
187 |
|
---|
188 |
|
---|
189 | v3.2.2 Beta 3 Fix 1 (private build):
|
---|
190 | ------------------------------------
|
---|
191 |
|
---|
192 | Fixes to LIBC:
|
---|
193 |
|
---|
194 | o Crash if calloc was called before main().
|
---|
195 |
|
---|
196 | o TZ parsing of timezones such as PST8EDT.
|
---|
197 |
|
---|
198 | o sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() visibility.
|
---|
199 |
|
---|
200 |
|
---|
201 | v3.2.2 Beta 3:
|
---|
202 | --------------
|
---|
203 |
|
---|
204 | A few new features and fixes.
|
---|
205 |
|
---|
206 | o Fixed a bunch of debug info problems.
|
---|
207 |
|
---|
208 | o Added large file support.
|
---|
209 |
|
---|
210 | o Enabled high memory support for LIBC. Two new options to GCC:
|
---|
211 | -Zhigh-mem and -Zhigh-low. If the program is to be enabled for
|
---|
212 | high memory use, specify -Zhigh-mem when linking.
|
---|
213 |
|
---|
214 | Note that socket is not high memory enabled yet.
|
---|
215 |
|
---|
216 | o Made LIBC preserve the FS selector.
|
---|
217 |
|
---|
218 | o Added random() and *rand48() from BSD.
|
---|
219 |
|
---|
220 | o Fixed crash with link386 and unresolved symbols.
|
---|
221 |
|
---|
222 |
|
---|
223 | v3.2.2 Beta 2:
|
---|
224 | --------------
|
---|
225 |
|
---|
226 | A few bugfixes and a some new features (as usual).
|
---|
227 |
|
---|
228 | o Added file locking support to LIBC.
|
---|
229 |
|
---|
230 | o Fixed _System and _Optlink bugs and made _Optlink support
|
---|
231 | floating point argument passing in registers.
|
---|
232 |
|
---|
233 | o Header updates related to limits and file locking primarily.
|
---|
234 |
|
---|
235 | o Timezone fixes.
|
---|
236 |
|
---|
237 | o Fixed some CRT init trouble in regards to getenv and putenv.
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | o And some other minor stuff..
|
---|
240 |
|
---|
241 |
|
---|
242 | v3.2.2 Beta 1:
|
---|
243 | --------------
|
---|
244 |
|
---|
245 | A few bugfixes and a some new features.
|
---|
246 |
|
---|
247 | o Locale support in libc.
|
---|
248 |
|
---|
249 | o Implemented a different approach to OMF and weak symbols. This
|
---|
250 | new hack performs pre-linking before invoking the OMF linker
|
---|
251 | generating new .def files if needed and an extra object file with
|
---|
252 | aliases to resolve the weak symbols correctly.
|
---|
253 | The old approach will be used used when GCC_WEAKSYMS is present in
|
---|
254 | the environment.
|
---|
255 |
|
---|
256 | Please note that due to a bug in BFD, weak symbols don't work
|
---|
257 | 100% correctly. This will be addressed as soon as we have
|
---|
258 | performed the switch to a more recent version of binutils.
|
---|
259 |
|
---|
260 | o A couple of new functions in libc, and a few corrections to
|
---|
261 | existing in respect to namespaces.
|
---|
262 |
|
---|
263 | o Addressed issues with calling conventions. We now detect
|
---|
264 | incompatible calling conventions, emitting warnings and errors
|
---|
265 | where appropriate.
|
---|
266 |
|
---|
267 | o _Optlink is much better, but there are still some issues
|
---|
268 | left. Passing prototyped floating point parameters to
|
---|
269 | _Optlink doesn't work. Mixing of parameters which go into
|
---|
270 | registers (eax, edx, ecx) and parameters which
|
---|
271 | don't - void foo(int eax, struct sss s, int edx) - doesn't
|
---|
272 | work. All these issues are being addressed and are expected
|
---|
273 | to be fixed in the next build.
|
---|
274 |
|
---|
275 | o Changed GCC to link with shared libc by default. This means
|
---|
276 | that in order to link with the static libc one has to specify
|
---|
277 | -static. It also means that -Zmtd or -Zcrtdll are no longer
|
---|
278 | required for linking with shared libc and can be removed from
|
---|
279 | all makescripts.
|
---|
280 |
|
---|
281 | o Changed EMXOMFLD defaults to ilink from Visual Age for C++
|
---|
282 | v3.6.5 or later (preferably later). The emxomfld usage output
|
---|
283 | will instruct you on how to use older linkers. For VAC308 and
|
---|
284 | VAC365 linkers /dbgpack is specified if debuginfo is to be
|
---|
285 | generated. Emxomf checks for EMXOMFLD_TYPE=link386 when choosing
|
---|
286 | debug info level.
|
---|
287 |
|
---|
288 | o Shipping three extra libc dlls:
|
---|
289 | libc02.dbg: Unstripped version of libc02.dll. This is
|
---|
290 | identical except from the presense of debug
|
---|
291 | info.
|
---|
292 | libc02.prf: Linked together from profiled enabled
|
---|
293 | libraries using kProfiler.
|
---|
294 | libc02.elh: Standard libc but linked with an external
|
---|
295 | electrical fence heap from kLibDbg.
|
---|
296 | These libc02.* dlls can be used instead of libc02.dll. kLibDbg
|
---|
297 | and kProfiler is available in separate zip files at same
|
---|
298 | location as the rest of the InnoTek GCC suite. However these
|
---|
299 | external tools are provided as is. (I might actually not find
|
---|
300 | time to put them out yet.)
|
---|
301 |
|
---|
302 | o Distribution is splitted into several zips:
|
---|
303 | -core.zip: All you really need.
|
---|
304 | -dbg.zip: Map files, unstripped tools and libs, and
|
---|
305 | libc02.elh.
|
---|
306 | -prf.zip: Profiling libraries and libc02.prf.
|
---|
307 | libc.zip: The runtime libraries. (included in core.)
|
---|
308 | The big zip is everything.
|
---|
309 |
|
---|
310 | v3.2.2 Alpha 3:
|
---|
311 | ---------------
|
---|
312 |
|
---|
313 | Primarily bugfixes.
|
---|
314 |
|
---|
315 | o Changed code generator for floating point truncations (double
|
---|
316 | to int casts and such) so PM can freely mess up the fpu status.
|
---|
317 |
|
---|
318 | o We were using the wrong float.h in two sense. We're now using
|
---|
319 | the correct one which includes all the PC defines and
|
---|
320 | prototypes.
|
---|
321 |
|
---|
322 | o Fixed a few issues with error defines and tcpip.
|
---|
323 | Note that some of the error defines have changed value in the
|
---|
324 | process so we could become compatible with the tcpip stack
|
---|
325 | and FreeBSD.
|
---|
326 |
|
---|
327 | o Corrected bugs in a number of headers.
|
---|
328 |
|
---|
329 | o Added more OS/2 prototypes and imports. There is still work
|
---|
330 | left on the header part,
|
---|
331 |
|
---|
332 | o Optimized emxomf debug info conversion.
|
---|
333 |
|
---|
334 | o Wrapped bsdselect for BSD 4.4 header mode to implement
|
---|
335 | bsdselect().
|
---|
336 |
|
---|
337 | o .... what did we forget...
|
---|
338 |
|
---|
339 |
|
---|
340 | v3.2.2 Alpha 2:
|
---|
341 | ---------------
|
---|
342 |
|
---|
343 | A few bugfixes and a couple of new features.
|
---|
344 |
|
---|
345 | o The TCP/IP headers and libraries scheme have been changed.
|
---|
346 | The default is the current OS/2 tcpip toolkit (BSD 4.4 based).
|
---|
347 | To target the older OS/2 tcpip stack (BSD 4.3 based) you must
|
---|
348 | define TCPV40HDRS before including any TCP/IP headers and make
|
---|
349 | sure usr/lib/tcpipv4 is searched before usr/lib (this is to
|
---|
350 | get the right libsocket). It is recommended to use the -D
|
---|
351 | compiler option for the define and either the LIBRARY_PATH or
|
---|
352 | the -L compiler/linker option for the library.
|
---|
353 |
|
---|
354 | o There are a couple of new and updated based on FreeBSD 5.1.
|
---|
355 | sys\stdint.h and inttypes.h (and a few internal once) are new.
|
---|
356 | sys\types.h and unistd.h are the ones most heavily updated.
|
---|
357 | We're working on getting the headers and libc in a better
|
---|
358 | shape standardwise to easy compatability and portability.
|
---|
359 |
|
---|
360 | o A infinite loop in emxomf has been fixed.
|
---|
361 |
|
---|
362 | o Linker error on sopen() has been corrected.
|
---|
363 |
|
---|
364 | o .... what did we forget...
|
---|
365 |
|
---|
366 |
|
---|
367 | v3.2.2 Alpha 1:
|
---|
368 | ---------------
|
---|
369 |
|
---|
370 | This is the first release from InnoTek, and it contains the InnoTek LIBC.
|
---|
371 | In addition to the new LIBC there is a number of other major changes:
|
---|
372 |
|
---|
373 | o Name mangling in OMF mode have changed.
|
---|
374 | Until this release emxomf used to pretty much strip one leading '_'
|
---|
375 | from symbols when converting them to omf. This is now longer done
|
---|
376 | chiefly in order to correctly support mangling calling conventions
|
---|
377 | like __stdcall and __cdecl. This change have the following side
|
---|
378 | effects:
|
---|
379 | - _System and __cdecl no longer produces the same names and hence
|
---|
380 | all OS/2 API which are _System must be declared as _System in
|
---|
381 | order to link.
|
---|
382 | - Assembly code might need an extra underscore to work, or
|
---|
383 | perhaps change the prototypes to _System.
|
---|
384 | - Global variables are prepended and underscore, so mixing VAC and
|
---|
385 | GCC, or accessing globals from asm, take care.
|
---|
386 | (MSC v6.0 does this too, so it's not any uncommon practise.)
|
---|
387 |
|
---|
388 | The OS/2 headers which are included are all updated to use _System.
|
---|
389 |
|
---|
390 | o TCPIP headers are updated a quite a bit to match the toolkit ones
|
---|
391 | and to reflect the fact that the new libc does not a having common
|
---|
392 | handle space for files and sockets. These changes aren't 100%
|
---|
393 | completed yet, and usage probably will uncover some issues left in
|
---|
394 | there. Also for the programmer there is the following changes in
|
---|
395 | the apis provided:
|
---|
396 | - TCPV40HDRS are supported and should work like with the toolkit
|
---|
397 | headers. It will alias all functions to tcpip40_ editions
|
---|
398 | (using #defines) so we get the right imports thru -llibsocket.
|
---|
399 | - There is no support for sockets in select(). To do select on
|
---|
400 | sockets you will have to use bsdselect() or os2_select().
|
---|
401 | bsdselect() is only available for TCPV40HDRS. For
|
---|
402 | !defined(TCPV40HDRS) fd_set is in the emx/bsd format and not the
|
---|
403 | OS/2 tcpip v5.0 format.
|
---|
404 | - Socket IOCTLs are not supported by the ioctl() libc function
|
---|
405 | because of the separate handle space for sockets. For sockets
|
---|
406 | so_ioctl() and os2_ioctl() are used. os2_ioctl() is not available
|
---|
407 | when TCPV40HDRS is defined. According to the tcpref in v5.0
|
---|
408 | so_ioctl() only supports BSD ioctls.
|
---|
409 | - writev() and readv() also clashes with libc. For socket handles
|
---|
410 | use so_writev() and so_readv().
|
---|
411 |
|
---|
412 | o The prefered OMF linker is now ilink. link386 will fail with an odd
|
---|
413 | error message if you tell gcc/g++ to make debug info. Set the
|
---|
414 | EMXOMFLD_LINKER environment variable to value ilink in order to use
|
---|
415 | ilink as OMF linker.
|
---|
416 | It likely that we will change the default OMF linker to ilink in an
|
---|
417 | later version of the GCC suite.
|
---|
418 |
|
---|
419 | o .... what did we forget...
