| 12 | GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Alpha 3:
|
|---|
| 13 | ---------------------------------
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | This release have been timebombed and will stop working at the
|
|---|
| 16 | end of December 2004. The reason for this is that data structures
|
|---|
| 17 | shared between LIBC 0.6 and all future LIBC versions are not yet
|
|---|
| 18 | quite finalized. (For your comfort the timebomb will go away when
|
|---|
| 19 | the betas start, and this is the last planned LIBC v0.6 alpha.)
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | New Features:
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | o Updated GCC to version 3.3.5.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | o Replaced the signal implementation. The new implementation
|
|---|
| 27 | is much closer to the POSIX specs and implements a lot of
|
|---|
| 28 | new interfaces.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | o Experimental delayed loading import libraries. emximp have
|
|---|
| 31 | a new -l option for generating such libraries. At present
|
|---|
| 32 | emximp can only generate a.out libraries of this kind - so
|
|---|
| 33 | use emxomf to convert to OMF.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | o The dlfcn.h functions are in LIBC now.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | o New functions:
|
|---|
| 38 | getgrouplist(), initgroups(), memalign(), valloc(),
|
|---|
| 39 | mprotect(), _signal_os2(), _signal_sysv(),
|
|---|
| 40 | __sigpause_bsd(), bsd_signal(), killpg(), psignal(),
|
|---|
| 41 | sigaltstack(), sigblock(), sighold(), sigignore(),
|
|---|
| 42 | siginterrupt(), sigpause(), sigrelse(), sigsetmask(),
|
|---|
| 43 | sigtimedwait(), sigvec(), sigwait(), sigwaitinfo(),
|
|---|
| 44 | sigqueue(), sigset(), getgrgid(), getpwnam(),
|
|---|
| 45 | getpwuid(), setegid(), seteuid(), setregid(),
|
|---|
| 46 | setresgid(), setresuid(), setreuid(),
|
|---|
| 47 | setrgid(), setruid(), waitid(), wait3(),
|
|---|
| 48 | wait4() and getopt_long_only().
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | Bug fixes;
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | o Sockets were broken on some systems. Hopefully, this
|
|---|
| 54 | should be corrected now.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | o stat() failed on a file open for writing.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | o fork() didn't work for processes which allocated lot's
|
|---|
| 59 | of memory. Fixed incorrect syncing of memory objects.
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | o ...
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | Known Limitiations/Problems:
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | o Static linking not possible - will be fixed.
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | o alarm() is still missing. Code is 80% done but didn't
|
|---|
| 69 | make it for the release.
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | o Job control will only be applied to thread 1 in a process.
|
|---|
| 72 | This won't change.
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | o Missing some process group interfaces required for
|
|---|
| 75 | job control. They'll show up soon.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 79 | GCC v3.3.4 / LIBC v0.6 - Alpha 2:
|
|---|
| 80 | ---------------------------------
|
|---|
| 81 |
|
|---|
| 82 | This release have been timebombed and will stop work at the
|
|---|
| 83 | end of October 2004. The reason for this is that data structures
|
|---|
| 84 | shared between LIBC 0.6 and all future LIBC versions are not yet
|
|---|
| 85 | finalized.
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | New Features:
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | o Updated GCC to version 3.3.4.
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | o 2nd fork() implementation.
|
|---|
| 93 | All binaries are by default forkable, use the link option
|
|---|
| 94 | -Zno-fork to disable this.
|
|---|
| 95 | The fork implementation rendered _rmutex useless and it
|
|---|
| 96 | has been removed.
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | o Symlinks using EAs. This is work in progress. One of the
|
|---|
| 99 | limitiations is that readir will not report DT_LNK yet.
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | o Unix compartment using chroot(). This offers a
|
|---|
| 102 | redirection of '/' to the chroot'ed root. The entrance
|
|---|
| 103 | to the compartment is the '/'. The exits are drive letters.
|
|---|
| 104 | The unix compartment is inherited by LIBC child processes.
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | o getcwd() will now return the driveletter too (as VAC does)
|
|---|
| 107 | when not inside the unix compartement.
|
|---|
| 108 | _getcwdux() has been provided for porters which requires
|
|---|
| 109 | behaviour like the old getcwd() implementation.
|
|---|
| 110 |
|
|---|
| 111 | o Paths to unix files #defined in headers are now prefixed
|
|---|
| 112 | with "/@unixroot" which will be redirected to where the
|
|---|
| 113 | environment variable UNIXROOT points. After calling
|
|---|
| 114 | chroot() the target of "/@unixroot" will be changed too.
|
|---|
| 115 |
|
|---|
| 116 | o LIBC specific path rewriting (redirection). Built in is
|
|---|
| 117 | "/dev/null", "/dev/tty" and "/@unixroot".
|
|---|
| 118 | The environment variable LIBC_PATHREWRITERS is examined
|
|---|
| 119 | during init and DLLs specified in it are loaded and called.
|
|---|
| 120 | See src/emx/src/sys/pathrewrite.c for more details.
|
|---|
| 121 |
|
|---|
| 122 | o Non-unix like mode - link option -Zno-unix.
|
|---|
| 123 | This affects slashes and various other Unix-like features
|
|---|
| 124 | like for instance fork and symlinks.
|
|---|
| 125 |
|
|---|
| 126 | o Printf et al. have been extended to support some new format
|
|---|
| 127 | specifiers. (It's still lacking a bit to be SuS comforming.)
|
|---|
| 128 |
|
|---|
| 129 | o Sockets handles are now inherited by LIBC child processes.
|
|---|
| 130 |
|
|---|
| 131 | o LIBC specific filehandle flags are now inherited by LIBC
|
|---|
| 132 | child processes.
|
|---|
| 133 |
|
|---|
| 134 | o The GCCxyz.DLL is no longer needed when LIBC is used.
|
|---|
| 135 | However it is still shipped for special cases where LIBC
|
|---|
| 136 | isn't needed.
|
|---|
| 137 |
|
|---|
| 138 | o A good bunch of 'new' functions both from the SuS and from
|
|---|
| 139 | various Unix flavors, even one or two PC functions have been
|
|---|
| 140 | added. Accompanying these are new headers and header updates.
|
|---|
| 141 | Here are most of the new function names:
|
|---|
| 142 | __strverscmp(), _atfork_callback(), _getcwdux(),
|
|---|
| 143 | _getdcwd(), _nsdbtaddsrc(), _nsdbtput(), _nsdispatch(),
|
|---|
| 144 | _realrealpath(), canonicalize_file_name(), catclose(),
|
|---|
| 145 | catgets(), catopen(), chown(), chroot(), eaccess(),
|
|---|
| 146 | endgrent(), endnetgrent(), endusershell(), fchown(),
|
|---|
| 147 | fstatfs(), fstatvfs(), getdtablesize(), getfsstat(),
|
|---|
| 148 | getgrent(), getgrent_r(), getgrgid_r(), getgrnam_r(),
|
|---|
| 149 | getloadavg(), getmntinfo(), getnetgrent(),
|
|---|
| 150 | getpwent_r(), getpwnam_r(), getpwuid_r(), getrlimit(),
|
|---|
| 151 | getusershell(), innetgr(), lchown(), link(), mknod(),
|
|---|
| 152 | readlink(), setgrent(), setgroupent(), setgroups(),
|
|---|
| 153 | setnetgrent(), setpassent(), setrlimit(),
|
|---|
| 154 | setusershell(), sl_add(), sl_find(), sl_free(),
|
|---|
| 155 | sl_init(), statfs(), statvfs(), strmode(), strtok_r(),
|
|---|
| 156 | symlink() and sync().
|
|---|
| 157 |
|
|---|
| 158 |
|
|---|
| 159 | Bug fixes:
|
|---|
| 160 |
|
|---|
| 161 | o setlocale() have been rewritten. The code page is now
|
|---|
| 162 | taken from the locale rather than OS/2. Old behaviour
|
|---|
| 163 | is used if environment variable LIBC_SETLOCALE_OLDSTYLE
|
|---|
| 164 | is defined.
|
|---|
| 165 |
|
|---|
| 166 | o Buggy strspn() replaced by BSD implementation.
|
|---|
| 167 |
|
|---|
| 168 | o Thread backend have been reworked fixing certain
|
|---|
| 169 | problems when LIBC was loaded and initialized in threads
|
|---|
| 170 | other than the primary one. A LIBC specific TLS api
|
|---|
| 171 | was created during this effort.
|
|---|
| 172 |
|
|---|
| 173 | o Fixed a missing export from GCCxyz.dll which was causing
|
|---|
| 174 | incorrect behaviour of C++ exceptions in all previous
|
|---|
| 175 | releases.
|
|---|
| 176 |
|
|---|
| 177 | o Fixed a buffer overrun in iconv_open() which caused a
|
|---|
| 178 | corruption of the FS selector register, thus crashing
|
|---|
| 179 | the processing.
|
|---|
| 180 |
|
|---|
| 181 | o ...
|
|---|
| 182 |
|
|---|
| 183 |
|
|---|
| 184 | Known limitations and bugs:
|
|---|
| 185 |
|
|---|
| 186 | o mktime() works incorrectly for exterme values causing
|
|---|
| 187 | configure test to fail.
|
|---|
| 188 |
|
|---|
| 189 | o NSS probably doesn't work.
|
|---|
| 190 |
|
|---|
| 191 | o Trailing slashes of a path specification are not
|
|---|
| 192 | handled correctly after the rewrite of the path
|
|---|
| 193 | handling.
|
|---|
| 194 |
|
|---|
| 195 | o New path handling is not DBCS ready.
|
|---|
| 196 |
|
|---|
| 197 | o Socket handle duplication have not been implemented yet.
|
|---|
| 198 |
|
|---|
| 199 | o The __<syscall> function are in the process of being
|
|---|
| 200 | removed.
|
|---|
| 201 |
|
|---|
| 202 | o Not tested with mozilla.
|
|---|
| 203 |

| 205 |
|
|---|
| 206 | v3.2.2 Beta 4 CSD 1:

|
|---|
| 210 |
|
|---|
| 211 | o Fixed crash in file stream allocation code.
|
|---|
| 212 |
|
|---|
| 213 | o Fixed incorrect time on machines which had DATETIME::timezone
|
|---|
| 214 | set. This fix changes the time granularity from hundredths of
|
|---|
| 215 | a second to milliseconds.
|
|---|
| 216 |
|
|---|
| 217 | o Added the SPBCDATA struct, the defines FCF_CLOSEBUTTON and
|
|---|
| 218 | BS_NOTEBOOKBUTTON and infosegment structs to os2emx.h
|
|---|
| 219 |
|
|---|
| 220 | o Fixed bug in sys/locale.h where it hid the lconv struct.
|
|---|
| 221 |
|
|---|
| 222 | o Fixed missing error number translations in getsockopt() and
|
|---|
| 223 | setsockopt().
|
|---|
| 224 |
|
|---|
| 225 | o Fixed potential conflict caused by sys/types.h not defining
|
|---|
| 226 | _KEY_T with the key_t typedef.
|
|---|
| 227 |
|
|---|
| 228 | o Fixed missing 64bit I/O support in ftell(), fstat() and stat().
|
|---|
| 229 |
|
|---|
| 230 | o Fixed UCS-2 codepage mappings.
|
|---|
| 231 |
|
|---|
| 232 | o Fixed problem with emxbind not recognizing option -e and
|
|---|
| 233 | a problem with case sensitivity in the export checking.
|
|---|
| 234 |
|
|---|
| 235 |
|
|---|

| 240 |
|
|---|
| 241 | New features and fixes:
|
|---|
| 242 |

|
|---|
| 248 |
|
|---|
| 249 | o GCC defines __INNOTEK_LIBC__=0x005.

|---|
| 250 | The value reflects the LIBC version, form: 0xGMM
|
|---|
| 251 | Where G=major version and MM=middle version numbers.
|
|---|
| 252 |
|
|---|
| 253 | o Changed library search algorithms for the linkers (emxomfld
|
|---|
| 254 | and ld). Three variations, static, shared and shared+dll.
|
|---|
| 255 | (The options indicated corresponds to what binutils 2.12.x
|
|---|
| 256 | documents.)
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 277 |
|
|---|
| 278 | o Added some deadlock checking/termination checks to semphores.
|
|---|
| 279 |
|
|---|
| 280 | o Added macros to os2emx.h for preserving FPU control word and
|
|---|
| 281 | applied these to certain read and write operations in LIBC.
|
|---|
| 282 |
|
|---|
| 283 | o Added feature to emxomfld to automatically convert a.out
|
|---|
| 284 | libraries and objects to OMF (using temporary files). Enabled
|

|---|
| 287 | o Added support to emximp for dlls.
|
|---|
| 288 |

|---|
| 401 | nerrno.h (toolkit compatability).
|
|---|
| 402 |
|
|---|
| 403 | o New headers (from FreeBSD 5.1):
|
|---|
| 404 | search.h, sys/queue.h, net/if_types.h.
|
|---|
| 405 |
|
|---|
| 406 | o New headers (from GLIBC 2.3.2):
|
|---|
| 407 | features.h (somewhat crippled),
|
|---|
| 408 | sys/gnu/cdefs.h (included from BSD styled sys/cdefs.h).
|
|---|
| 409 |
|
|---|
| 410 | o Updated headers:
|
|---|
| 411 | stddef.h (FreeBSD, sys/stddef.h (FreeBSD),
|
|---|
| 412 | ulsitem.h (missing defines), os2emx.h, ...

|
|---|
| 417 | v3.2.2 Beta 3 Fix 1 (private build):
|
|---|
| 418 | ------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 419 |
|
|---|
| 420 | Fixes to LIBC:
|
|---|
| 421 |
|
|---|
| 422 | o Crash if calloc was called before main().
|
|---|
| 423 |
|
|---|
| 424 | o TZ parsing of timezones such as PST8EDT.
|
|---|
| 425 |
|
|---|
| 426 | o sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() visibility.
|
|---|
| 427 |
|
|---|
| 428 |
|
|---|
| 429 | v3.2.2 Beta 3:
|
|---|
| 430 | --------------
|
|---|
| 431 |
|
|---|
| 432 | A few new features and fixes.
|
|---|
| 433 |
|
|---|
| 434 | o Fixed a bunch of debug info problems.
|
|---|
| 435 |
|
|---|
| 436 | o Added large file support.
|
|---|
| 437 |
|
|---|
| 438 | o Enabled high memory support for LIBC. Two new options to GCC:
|
|---|
| 439 | -Zhigh-mem and -Zhigh-low. If the program is to be enabled for
|
|---|
| 440 | high memory use, specify -Zhigh-mem when linking.
|
|---|
| 441 |
|
|---|
| 442 | Note that socket is not high memory enabled yet.
|
|---|
| 443 |
|
|---|
| 444 | o Made LIBC preserve the FS selector.
|
|---|
| 445 |
|
|---|
| 446 | o Added random() and *rand48() from BSD.
|
|---|
| 447 |
|
|---|
| 448 | o Fixed crash with link386 and unresolved symbols.
|
|---|
| 449 |
|
|---|
| 450 |
|
|---|
| 451 | v3.2.2 Beta 2:
|
|---|
| 452 | --------------
|
|---|
| 453 |
|
|---|
| 454 | A few bugfixes and a some new features (as usual).
|
|---|
| 455 |
|
|---|
| 456 | o Added file locking support to LIBC.
|
|---|
| 457 |
|
|---|
| 458 | o Fixed _System and _Optlink bugs and made _Optlink support
|
|---|
| 459 | floating point argument passing in registers.
|
|---|
| 460 |
|
|---|
| 461 | o Header updates related to limits and file locking primarily.
|
|---|
| 462 |
|
|---|
| 463 | o Timezone fixes.
|
|---|
| 464 |
|
|---|
| 465 | o Fixed some CRT init trouble in regards to getenv and putenv.
|
|---|
| 466 |
|
|---|
| 467 | o And some other minor stuff..
|
|---|
| 468 |
|
|---|
| 469 |
|
|---|
| 470 | v3.2.2 Beta 1:
|
|---|
| 471 | --------------
|
|---|
| 472 |
|
|---|
| 473 | A few bugfixes and a some new features.
|
|---|
| 474 |
|
|---|
| 475 | o Locale support in libc.
|
|---|
| 476 |
|
|---|
| 477 | o Implemented a different approach to OMF and weak symbols. This
|
|---|
| 478 | new hack performs pre-linking before invoking the OMF linker
|
|---|
| 479 | generating new .def files if needed and an extra object file with
|
|---|
| 480 | aliases to resolve the weak symbols correctly.
|
|---|
| 481 | The old approach will be used used when GCC_WEAKSYMS is present in
|
|---|
| 482 | the environment.
|
|---|
| 483 |
|
|---|
| 484 | Please note that due to a bug in BFD, weak symbols don't work
|
|---|
| 485 | 100% correctly. This will be addressed as soon as we have
|
|---|
| 486 | performed the switch to a more recent version of binutils.
|
|---|
| 487 |
|
|---|
| 488 | o A couple of new functions in libc, and a few corrections to
|
|---|
| 489 | existing in respect to namespaces.
|
|---|
| 490 |
|
|---|
| 491 | o Addressed issues with calling conventions. We now detect
|
|---|
| 492 | incompatible calling conventions, emitting warnings and errors
|
|---|
| 493 | where appropriate.
|
|---|
| 494 |
|
|---|
| 495 | o _Optlink is much better, but there are still some issues
|
|---|
| 496 | left. Passing prototyped floating point parameters to
|
|---|
| 497 | _Optlink doesn't work. Mixing of parameters which go into
|
|---|
| 498 | registers (eax, edx, ecx) and parameters which
|
|---|
| 499 | don't - void foo(int eax, struct sss s, int edx) - doesn't
|
|---|
| 500 | work. All these issues are being addressed and are expected
|
|---|
| 501 | to be fixed in the next build.
|
|---|
| 502 |
|
|---|
| 503 | o Changed GCC to link with shared libc by default. This means
|
|---|
| 504 | that in order to link with the static libc one has to specify
|
|---|
| 505 | -static. It also means that -Zmtd or -Zcrtdll are no longer
|
|---|
| 506 | required for linking with shared libc and can be removed from
|
|---|
| 507 | all makescripts.
|
|---|
| 508 |
|
|---|
| 509 | o Changed EMXOMFLD defaults to ilink from Visual Age for C++
|
|---|
| 510 | v3.6.5 or later (preferably later). The emxomfld usage output
|
|---|
| 511 | will instruct you on how to use older linkers. For VAC308 and
|
|---|
| 512 | VAC365 linkers /dbgpack is specified if debuginfo is to be
|
|---|
| 513 | generated. Emxomf checks for EMXOMFLD_TYPE=link386 when choosing
|
|---|
| 514 | debug info level.
|
|---|
| 515 |
|
|---|
| 516 | o Shipping three extra libc dlls:
|
|---|
| 517 | libc02.dbg: Unstripped version of libc02.dll. This is
|
|---|
| 518 | identical except from the presense of debug
|
|---|
| 519 | info.
|
|---|
| 520 | libc02.prf: Linked together from profiled enabled
|
|---|
| 521 | libraries using kProfiler.
|
|---|
| 522 | libc02.elh: Standard libc but linked with an external
|
|---|
| 523 | electrical fence heap from kLibDbg.
|
|---|
| 524 | These libc02.* dlls can be used instead of libc02.dll. kLibDbg
|
|---|
| 525 | and kProfiler is available in separate zip files at same
|
|---|
| 526 | location as the rest of the InnoTek GCC suite. However these
|
|---|
| 527 | external tools are provided as is. (I might actually not find
|
|---|
| 528 | time to put them out yet.)
|
|---|
| 529 |
|
|---|
| 530 | o Distribution is splitted into several zips:
|
|---|
| 531 | -core.zip: All you really need.
|
|---|
| 532 | -dbg.zip: Map files, unstripped tools and libs, and
|
|---|
| 533 | libc02.elh.
|
|---|
| 534 | -prf.zip: Profiling libraries and libc02.prf.
|
|---|
| 535 | libc.zip: The runtime libraries. (included in core.)
|
|---|
| 536 | The big zip is everything.
|
|---|
| 537 |
|
|---|
| 538 | v3.2.2 Alpha 3:
|
|---|
| 539 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 540 |
|
|---|
| 541 | Primarily bugfixes.
|
|---|
| 542 |
|
|---|
| 543 | o Changed code generator for floating point truncations (double
|
|---|
| 544 | to int casts and such) so PM can freely mess up the fpu status.
|
|---|
| 545 |
|
|---|
| 546 | o We were using the wrong float.h in two sense. We're now using
|
|---|
| 547 | the correct one which includes all the PC defines and
|
|---|
| 548 | prototypes.
|
|---|
| 549 |
|
|---|
| 550 | o Fixed a few issues with error defines and tcpip.
|
|---|
| 551 | Note that some of the error defines have changed value in the
|
|---|
| 552 | process so we could become compatible with the tcpip stack
|
|---|
| 553 | and FreeBSD.
|
|---|
| 554 |
|
|---|
| 555 | o Corrected bugs in a number of headers.
|
|---|
| 556 |
|
|---|
| 557 | o Added more OS/2 prototypes and imports. There is still work
|
|---|
| 558 | left on the header part,
|
|---|
| 559 |
|
|---|
| 560 | o Optimized emxomf debug info conversion.
|
|---|
| 561 |
|
|---|
| 562 | o Wrapped bsdselect for BSD 4.4 header mode to implement
|
|---|
| 563 | bsdselect().
|
|---|
| 564 |
|
|---|
| 565 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
| 566 |
|
|---|
| 567 |
|
|---|
| 568 | v3.2.2 Alpha 2:
|
|---|
| 569 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 570 |
|
|---|
| 571 | A few bugfixes and a couple of new features.
|
|---|
| 572 |
|
|---|
| 573 | o The TCP/IP headers and libraries scheme have been changed.
|
|---|
| 574 | The default is the current OS/2 tcpip toolkit (BSD 4.4 based).
|
|---|
| 575 | To target the older OS/2 tcpip stack (BSD 4.3 based) you must
|
|---|
| 576 | define TCPV40HDRS before including any TCP/IP headers and make
|
|---|
| 577 | sure usr/lib/tcpipv4 is searched before usr/lib (this is to
|
|---|
| 578 | get the right libsocket). It is recommended to use the -D
|
|---|
| 579 | compiler option for the define and either the LIBRARY_PATH or
|
|---|
| 580 | the -L compiler/linker option for the library.
|
|---|
| 581 |
|
|---|
| 582 | o There are a couple of new and updated based on FreeBSD 5.1.
|
|---|
| 583 | sys\stdint.h and inttypes.h (and a few internal once) are new.
|
|---|
| 584 | sys\types.h and unistd.h are the ones most heavily updated.
|
|---|
| 585 | We're working on getting the headers and libc in a better
|
|---|
| 586 | shape standardwise to easy compatability and portability.
|
|---|
| 587 |
|
|---|
| 588 | o A infinite loop in emxomf has been fixed.
|
|---|
| 589 |
|
|---|
| 590 | o Linker error on sopen() has been corrected.
|
|---|
| 591 |
|
|---|
| 592 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
| 593 |
|
|---|
| 594 |
|
|---|
| 595 | v3.2.2 Alpha 1:
|
|---|
| 596 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 597 |
|
|---|
| 598 | This is the first release from InnoTek, and it contains the InnoTek LIBC.
|
|---|
| 599 | In addition to the new LIBC there is a number of other major changes:
|
|---|
| 600 |
|
|---|
| 601 | o Name mangling in OMF mode have changed.
|
|---|
| 602 | Until this release emxomf used to pretty much strip one leading '_'
|
|---|
| 603 | from symbols when converting them to omf. This is now longer done
|
|---|
| 604 | chiefly in order to correctly support mangling calling conventions
|
|---|
| 605 | like __stdcall and __cdecl. This change have the following side
|
|---|
| 606 | effects:
|
|---|
| 607 | - _System and __cdecl no longer produces the same names and hence
|
|---|
| 608 | all OS/2 API which are _System must be declared as _System in
|
|---|
| 609 | order to link.
|
|---|
| 610 | - Assembly code might need an extra underscore to work, or
|
|---|
| 611 | perhaps change the prototypes to _System.
|
|---|
| 612 | - Global variables are prepended and underscore, so mixing VAC and
|
|---|
| 613 | GCC, or accessing globals from asm, take care.
|
|---|
| 614 | (MSC v6.0 does this too, so it's not any uncommon practise.)
|
|---|
| 615 |
|
|---|
| 616 | The OS/2 headers which are included are all updated to use _System.
|
|---|
| 617 |
|
|---|
| 618 | o TCPIP headers are updated a quite a bit to match the toolkit ones
|
|---|
| 619 | and to reflect the fact that the new libc does not a having common
|
|---|
| 620 | handle space for files and sockets. These changes aren't 100%
|
|---|
| 621 | completed yet, and usage probably will uncover some issues left in
|
|---|
| 622 | there. Also for the programmer there is the following changes in
|
|---|
| 623 | the apis provided:
|
|---|
| 624 | - TCPV40HDRS are supported and should work like with the toolkit
|
|---|
| 625 | headers. It will alias all functions to tcpip40_ editions
|
|---|
| 626 | (using #defines) so we get the right imports thru -llibsocket.
|
|---|
| 627 | - There is no support for sockets in select(). To do select on
|
|---|
| 628 | sockets you will have to use bsdselect() or os2_select().
|
|---|
| 629 | bsdselect() is only available for TCPV40HDRS. For
|
|---|
| 630 | !defined(TCPV40HDRS) fd_set is in the emx/bsd format and not the
|
|---|
| 631 | OS/2 tcpip v5.0 format.
|
|---|
| 632 | - Socket IOCTLs are not supported by the ioctl() libc function
|
|---|
| 633 | because of the separate handle space for sockets. For sockets
|
|---|
| 634 | so_ioctl() and os2_ioctl() are used. os2_ioctl() is not available
|
|---|
| 635 | when TCPV40HDRS is defined. According to the tcpref in v5.0
|
|---|
| 636 | so_ioctl() only supports BSD ioctls.
|
|---|
| 637 | - writev() and readv() also clashes with libc. For socket handles
|
|---|
| 638 | use so_writev() and so_readv().
|
|---|
| 639 |
|
|---|
| 640 | o The prefered OMF linker is now ilink. link386 will fail with an odd
|
|---|
| 641 | error message if you tell gcc/g++ to make debug info. Set the
|
|---|
| 642 | EMXOMFLD_LINKER environment variable to value ilink in order to use
|
|---|
| 643 | ilink as OMF linker.
|
|---|
| 644 | It likely that we will change the default OMF linker to ilink in an
|
|---|
| 645 | later version of the GCC suite.
|
|---|
| 646 |
|
|---|
| 647 | o .... what did we forget...
|
|---|
