|
---|
13 | --------------------------------
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
15 | New features:
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | o setitimer/alarm implementation. Needs some review later
|
---|
18 | the accuracy isn't extacly great.
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | o Added a couple of missing os2emx.h features.
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | o Some more 16-bit thunkers.
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | Bug fixes:
|
---|
25 |
|
---|
26 | o Select worker called wrong tcpip function.
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | o Incorrect assertion during thread destruction.
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | o Fixed broken chdir and getdrive.
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | o Improved deadlock detection (fmutex have changed,
|
---|
33 | thus stdio FILE is also changed).
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | o ...
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | Known Limitiations/Problems:
|
---|
39 |
|
---|
40 | o Static linking not possible - will be fixed.
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | o Job control will only be applied to thread 1 in a process.
|
---|
43 | This won't change.
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | o Missing some process group interfaces required for
|
---|
46 | job control. They'll show up soon.
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | o Doesn't evaluate trailing slash in paths as directory
|
---|
49 | specifier, it's currently ignored.
|

53 | GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Alpha 3:
|
---|
54 | ---------------------------------
|
---|
55 |
|
---|
56 | This release have been timebombed and will stop working at the
|
---|
57 | end of December 2004. The reason for this is that data structures
|
---|
58 | shared between LIBC 0.6 and all future LIBC versions are not yet
|
---|
59 | quite finalized. (For your comfort the timebomb will go away when
|
---|
60 | the betas start, and this is the last planned LIBC v0.6 alpha.)
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | New Features:
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | o Updated GCC to version 3.3.5.
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | o Replaced the signal implementation. The new implementation
|
---|
68 | is much closer to the POSIX specs and implements a lot of
|
---|
69 | new interfaces.
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | o Experimental delayed loading import libraries. emximp have
|
---|
72 | a new -l option for generating such libraries. At present
|
---|
73 | emximp can only generate a.out libraries of this kind - so
|
---|
74 | use emxomf to convert to OMF.
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | o The dlfcn.h functions are in LIBC now.
|
---|
77 |
|
---|
78 | o New functions:
|
---|
79 | getgrouplist(), initgroups(), memalign(), valloc(),
|
---|
80 | mprotect(), _signal_os2(), _signal_sysv(),
|
---|
81 | __sigpause_bsd(), bsd_signal(), killpg(), psignal(),
|
---|
82 | sigaltstack(), sigblock(), sighold(), sigignore(),
|
---|
83 | siginterrupt(), sigpause(), sigrelse(), sigsetmask(),
|
---|
84 | sigtimedwait(), sigvec(), sigwait(), sigwaitinfo(),
|
---|
85 | sigqueue(), sigset(), getgrgid(), getpwnam(),
|
---|
86 | getpwuid(), setegid(), seteuid(), setregid(),
|
---|
87 | setresgid(), setresuid(), setreuid(),
|
---|
88 | setrgid(), setruid(), waitid(), wait3(),
|
---|
89 | wait4() and getopt_long_only().
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | Bug fixes;
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | o Sockets were broken on some systems. Hopefully, this
|
---|
95 | should be corrected now.
|
---|
96 |
|
---|
97 | o stat() failed on a file open for writing.
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | o fork() didn't work for processes which allocated lot's
|
---|
100 | of memory. Fixed incorrect syncing of memory objects.
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | o ...
|
---|
103 |
|
---|
104 |
|
---|
105 | Known Limitiations/Problems:
|
---|
106 |
|
---|
107 | o Static linking not possible - will be fixed.
|
---|
108 |
|
---|
109 | o alarm() is still missing. Code is 80% done but didn't
|
---|
110 | make it for the release.
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | o Job control will only be applied to thread 1 in a process.
|
---|
113 | This won't change.
|
---|
114 |
|
---|
115 | o Missing some process group interfaces required for
|
---|
116 | job control. They'll show up soon.
|
---|
117 |
|
---|
118 |

|
---|
120 | GCC v3.3.4 / LIBC v0.6 - Alpha 2:
|
---|
121 | ---------------------------------
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | This release have been timebombed and will stop work at the
|
---|
124 | end of October 2004. The reason for this is that data structures
|
---|
125 | shared between LIBC 0.6 and all future LIBC versions are not yet
|
---|
126 | finalized.
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | New Features:
|
---|
130 |
|
---|
131 | o Updated GCC to version 3.3.4.
|
---|
132 |
|
---|
133 | o 2nd fork() implementation.
|
---|
134 | All binaries are by default forkable, use the link option
|
---|
135 | -Zno-fork to disable this.
|
---|
136 | The fork implementation rendered _rmutex useless and it
|
---|
137 | has been removed.
|
---|
138 |
|
---|
139 | o Symlinks using EAs. This is work in progress. One of the
|
---|
140 | limitiations is that readir will not report DT_LNK yet.
|
---|
141 |
|
---|
142 | o Unix compartment using chroot(). This offers a
|
---|
143 | redirection of '/' to the chroot'ed root. The entrance
|
---|
144 | to the compartment is the '/'. The exits are drive letters.
|
---|
145 | The unix compartment is inherited by LIBC child processes.
|
---|
146 |
|
---|
147 | o getcwd() will now return the driveletter too (as VAC does)
|
---|
148 | when not inside the unix compartement.
|
---|
149 | _getcwdux() has been provided for porters which requires
|
---|
150 | behaviour like the old getcwd() implementation.
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | o Paths to unix files #defined in headers are now prefixed
|
---|
153 | with "/@unixroot" which will be redirected to where the
|
---|
154 | environment variable UNIXROOT points. After calling
|
---|
155 | chroot() the target of "/@unixroot" will be changed too.
|
---|
156 |
|
---|
157 | o LIBC specific path rewriting (redirection). Built in is
|
---|
158 | "/dev/null", "/dev/tty" and "/@unixroot".
|
---|
159 | The environment variable LIBC_PATHREWRITERS is examined
|
---|
160 | during init and DLLs specified in it are loaded and called.
|
---|
161 | See src/emx/src/sys/pathrewrite.c for more details.
|
---|
162 |
|
---|
163 | o Non-unix like mode - link option -Zno-unix.
|
---|
164 | This affects slashes and various other Unix-like features
|
---|
165 | like for instance fork and symlinks.
|
---|
166 |
|
---|
167 | o Printf et al. have been extended to support some new format
|
---|
168 | specifiers. (It's still lacking a bit to be SuS comforming.)
|
---|
169 |
|
---|
170 | o Sockets handles are now inherited by LIBC child processes.
|
---|
171 |
|
---|
172 | o LIBC specific filehandle flags are now inherited by LIBC
|
---|
173 | child processes.
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | o The GCCxyz.DLL is no longer needed when LIBC is used.
|
---|
176 | However it is still shipped for special cases where LIBC
|
---|
177 | isn't needed.
|
---|
178 |
|
---|
179 | o A good bunch of 'new' functions both from the SuS and from
|
---|
180 | various Unix flavors, even one or two PC functions have been
|
---|
181 | added. Accompanying these are new headers and header updates.
|
---|
182 | Here are most of the new function names:
|
---|
183 | __strverscmp(), _atfork_callback(), _getcwdux(),
|
---|
184 | _getdcwd(), _nsdbtaddsrc(), _nsdbtput(), _nsdispatch(),
|
---|
185 | _realrealpath(), canonicalize_file_name(), catclose(),
|
---|
186 | catgets(), catopen(), chown(), chroot(), eaccess(),
|
---|
187 | endgrent(), endnetgrent(), endusershell(), fchown(),
|
---|
188 | fstatfs(), fstatvfs(), getdtablesize(), getfsstat(),
|
---|
189 | getgrent(), getgrent_r(), getgrgid_r(), getgrnam_r(),
|
---|
190 | getloadavg(), getmntinfo(), getnetgrent(),
|
---|
191 | getpwent_r(), getpwnam_r(), getpwuid_r(), getrlimit(),
|
---|
192 | getusershell(), innetgr(), lchown(), link(), mknod(),
|
---|
193 | readlink(), setgrent(), setgroupent(), setgroups(),
|
---|
194 | setnetgrent(), setpassent(), setrlimit(),
|
---|
195 | setusershell(), sl_add(), sl_find(), sl_free(),
|
---|
196 | sl_init(), statfs(), statvfs(), strmode(), strtok_r(),
|
---|
197 | symlink() and sync().
|
---|
198 |
|
---|
199 |
|
---|
200 | Bug fixes:
|
---|
201 |
|
---|
202 | o setlocale() have been rewritten. The code page is now
|
---|
203 | taken from the locale rather than OS/2. Old behaviour
|
---|
204 | is used if environment variable LIBC_SETLOCALE_OLDSTYLE
|
---|
205 | is defined.
|
---|
206 |
|
---|
207 | o Buggy strspn() replaced by BSD implementation.
|
---|
208 |
|
---|
209 | o Thread backend have been reworked fixing certain
|
---|
210 | problems when LIBC was loaded and initialized in threads
|
---|
211 | other than the primary one. A LIBC specific TLS api
|
---|
212 | was created during this effort.
|
---|
213 |
|
---|
214 | o Fixed a missing export from GCCxyz.dll which was causing
|
---|
215 | incorrect behaviour of C++ exceptions in all previous
|
---|
216 | releases.
|
---|
217 |
|
---|
218 | o Fixed a buffer overrun in iconv_open() which caused a
|
---|
219 | corruption of the FS selector register, thus crashing
|
---|
220 | the processing.
|
---|
221 |
|
---|
222 | o ...
|
---|
223 |
|
---|
224 |
|
---|
225 | Known limitations and bugs:
|
---|
226 |
|
---|
227 | o mktime() works incorrectly for exterme values causing
|
---|
228 | configure test to fail.
|
---|
229 |
|
---|
230 | o NSS probably doesn't work.
|
---|
231 |
|
---|
232 | o Trailing slashes of a path specification are not
|
---|
233 | handled correctly after the rewrite of the path
|
---|
234 | handling.
|
---|
235 |
|
---|
236 | o New path handling is not DBCS ready.
|
---|
237 |
|
---|
238 | o Socket handle duplication have not been implemented yet.
|
---|
239 |
|
---|
240 | o The __<syscall> function are in the process of being
|
---|
241 | removed.
|
---|
242 |
|
---|
243 | o Not tested with mozilla.
|
---|
244 |
|
---|
245 |
|
---|
246 |
|
---|
247 | v3.2.2 Beta 4 CSD 1:
|
---|
248 | --------------------
|
---|
249 |
|
---|
250 | Bug fixes:
|
---|
251 |
|
---|
252 | o Fixed crash in file stream allocation code.
|
---|
253 |
|
---|
254 | o Fixed incorrect time on machines which had DATETIME::timezone
|
---|
255 | set. This fix changes the time granularity from hundredths of
|
---|
256 | a second to milliseconds.
|
---|
257 |
|
---|
258 | o Added the SPBCDATA struct, the defines FCF_CLOSEBUTTON and
|
---|
259 | BS_NOTEBOOKBUTTON and infosegment structs to os2emx.h
|
---|
260 |
|
---|
261 | o Fixed bug in sys/locale.h where it hid the lconv struct.
|
---|
262 |
|
---|
263 | o Fixed missing error number translations in getsockopt() and
|
---|
264 | setsockopt().
|
---|
265 |
|
---|
266 | o Fixed potential conflict caused by sys/types.h not defining
|
---|
267 | _KEY_T with the key_t typedef.
|
---|
268 |
|
---|
269 | o Fixed missing 64bit I/O support in ftell(), fstat() and stat().
|
---|
270 |
|
---|
271 | o Fixed UCS-2 codepage mappings.
|
---|
272 |
|
---|
273 | o Fixed problem with emxbind not recognizing option -e and
|
---|
274 | a problem with case sensitivity in the export checking.
|
---|
275 |
|
---|
276 |
|
---|
277 | v3.2.2 Beta 4:
|
---|
278 | --------------
|
---|
279 |
|
---|
280 | (The changelog is removed, thus the release notes are more detailed.)
|
---|
281 |
|
---|
282 | New features and fixes:
|
---|
283 |
|
---|
284 | o Filehandle rewrite. Files, pipes and sockets now share the same
|
---|
285 | handle space.
|
---|
286 |
|
---|
287 | o Updated binutils from v2.11.2 to v2.14 adding as-elf.exe and
|
---|
288 | ld-elf.exe as goodies for the adventurous.
|
---|
289 |
|
---|
290 | o GCC defines __INNOTEK_LIBC__=0x005.
|
---|
291 | The value reflects the LIBC version, form: 0xGMM
|
---|
292 | Where G=major version and MM=middle version numbers.
|
---|
293 |
|
---|
294 | o Changed library search algorithms for the linkers (emxomfld
|
---|
295 | and ld). Three variations, static, shared and shared+dll.
|
---|
296 | (The options indicated corresponds to what binutils 2.12.x
|
---|
297 | documents.)
|
---|
298 | static: (-Bstatic, -non_shared, -dn, -static)
|
---|
299 | 1. libfoo_s.a
|
---|
300 | 2. foo_s.a
|
---|
301 | 3. libfoo.a
|

|
---|
308 | 5. libfoo_s.a
|
---|
309 | 6. foo_s.a
|
---|
310 | shared+dll: (-Zdll-search with -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
|
---|
311 | 1. libfoo_dll.a
|
---|
312 | 2. foo_dll.a
|
---|
313 | 3. libfoo.a
|
---|
314 | 4. foo.a
|

|
---|
317 | 7. foo_s.a
|
---|
318 |
|
---|
319 | o Added some deadlock checking/termination checks to semphores.
|
---|
320 |
|
---|
321 | o Added macros to os2emx.h for preserving FPU control word and
|
---|
322 | applied these to certain read and write operations in LIBC.
|
---|
323 |
|
---|
324 | o Added feature to emxomfld to automatically convert a.out
|
---|
325 | libraries and objects to OMF (using temporary files). Enabled
|
---|
326 | by default but can be disabled by the option -Zno-autoconv.
|
---|
327 |
|
---|
328 | o Added support to emximp for dlls.
|
---|
329 |
|
---|
330 | o Added support for automatic conversion of dlls to temporary
|
---|
331 | import libraries emxomfld and ld.
|
---|
332 |
|
---|
333 | o Added getopt_long() and changed getopt() to FreeBSD
|
---|
334 | implementations.
|
---|
335 |
|
---|
336 | o Added a few more code page aliases.
|
---|
337 |
|
---|
338 | o Added optional breakpoint in abort. The presense of the env.var.
|
---|
339 | LIBC_BREAKPOINT_ABORT triggers the breakpoint instruction.
|
---|
340 |
|
---|
341 | o Added syslog interfaces (contrib from Yuri Dario).
|
---|
342 |

|
---|
346 |
|
---|
347 | o Ported the posix spawn api from GLIBC v2.3.2.
|
---|
348 |
|
---|
349 | o Updated with os2emx.h flags for DosQueryMemState().
|
---|
350 |
|
---|
351 | o Changed size_t to unsigned int (from unsigned long int) and
|
---|
352 | ptrdiff_t to signed int (from signed long int) to comply with
|
---|
353 | most of the other i386 environments.
|
---|
354 |
|
---|
355 | o Changed abort and default signal termination messages to say
|
---|
356 | which process it's printed from.
|
---|
357 |
|
---|
358 | o Changed the glob() and globfree() implemenation with a port of
|
---|
359 | the FreeBSD 5.1 implemenation.
|
---|
360 |
|
---|
361 | o Changed so_ioctl() to os2_ioctl() to better match the toolkit.
|
---|
362 |
|
---|
363 | o Changed time_t to be signed as in BSD & linux.
|
---|
364 | (Negative values means date/time before epoc.)
|
---|
365 |
|
---|
366 | o Changed to FreeBSD implementation of difftime().
|
---|
367 |
|
---|

---|
373 |
|
---|
374 | o Fixed waitpid() to respect the WNOHANG flag.
|
---|
375 |
|

385 |
|
---|
386 | o Fixed a bad record length problem in emxomf.
|
---|
387 |

401 |
|
---|
402 | o Fixed crash in ld when having fixups to weak symbols.
|
---|
403 |
|
---|
404 | o Fixed bad conversion of dll0*.o to OMF, the OMF version got an
|
---|
405 | unwanted stack object.
|
---|
406 |
|
---|
407 | o New functions:

|
---|
424 | posix_spawnp() posix_spawn(), posix_spawnattr_destroy(),
|
---|
425 | posix_spawnattr_getflags(), posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(),
|
---|
426 | posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(),

|
---|
441 | o New headers:
|
---|
442 | nerrno.h (toolkit compatability).
|
---|
443 |
|
---|
444 | o New headers (from FreeBSD 5.1):
|
---|
445 | search.h, sys/queue.h, net/if_types.h.
|
---|
446 |
|
---|
447 | o New headers (from GLIBC 2.3.2):
|
---|
448 | features.h (somewhat crippled),
|
---|
449 | sys/gnu/cdefs.h (included from BSD styled sys/cdefs.h).

|
---|
453 | ulsitem.h (missing defines), os2emx.h, ...
|
---|
454 |
|
---|
455 | o What I forgot...
|
---|
456 |
|
---|
457 |
|
---|
458 | v3.2.2 Beta 3 Fix 1 (private build):
|
---|
459 | ------------------------------------
|
---|
460 |
|
---|
461 | Fixes to LIBC:
|
---|
462 |
|
---|
463 | o Crash if calloc was called before main().
|
---|
464 |
|
---|
465 | o TZ parsing of timezones such as PST8EDT.
|
---|
466 |
|
---|
467 | o sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() visibility.
|
---|
468 |
|
---|
469 |
|
---|
470 | v3.2.2 Beta 3:
|
---|
471 | --------------
|
---|
472 |
|
---|
473 | A few new features and fixes.
|
---|
474 |
|
---|
475 | o Fixed a bunch of debug info problems.
|
---|
476 |
|
---|
477 | o Added large file support.
|
---|
478 |
|
---|
479 | o Enabled high memory support for LIBC. Two new options to GCC:
|
---|
480 | -Zhigh-mem and -Zhigh-low. If the program is to be enabled for
|
---|
481 | high memory use, specify -Zhigh-mem when linking.
|
---|
482 |
|
---|
483 | Note that socket is not high memory enabled yet.
|
---|
484 |
|
---|
485 | o Made LIBC preserve the FS selector.
|
---|
486 |
|
---|
487 | o Added random() and *rand48() from BSD.
|
---|
488 |
|
---|
489 | o Fixed crash with link386 and unresolved symbols.
|
---|
490 |
|
---|
491 |
|
---|
492 | v3.2.2 Beta 2:
|
---|
493 | --------------
|
---|
494 |
|
---|
495 | A few bugfixes and a some new features (as usual).
|
---|
496 |
|
---|
497 | o Added file locking support to LIBC.
|
---|
498 |
|
---|
499 | o Fixed _System and _Optlink bugs and made _Optlink support
|
---|
500 | floating point argument passing in registers.
|
---|
501 |
|
---|
502 | o Header updates related to limits and file locking primarily.
|
---|
503 |
|
---|
504 | o Timezone fixes.
|
---|
505 |
|
---|
506 | o Fixed some CRT init trouble in regards to getenv and putenv.
|
---|
507 |
|
---|
508 | o And some other minor stuff..
|
---|
509 |
|
---|
510 |
|
---|
511 | v3.2.2 Beta 1:
|
---|
512 | --------------
|
---|
513 |
|
---|
514 | A few bugfixes and a some new features.
|
---|
515 |
|
---|
516 | o Locale support in libc.
|
---|
517 |
|
---|
518 | o Implemented a different approach to OMF and weak symbols. This
|
---|
519 | new hack performs pre-linking before invoking the OMF linker
|
---|
520 | generating new .def files if needed and an extra object file with
|
---|
521 | aliases to resolve the weak symbols correctly.
|
---|
522 | The old approach will be used used when GCC_WEAKSYMS is present in
|
---|
523 | the environment.
|
---|
524 |
|
---|
525 | Please note that due to a bug in BFD, weak symbols don't work
|
---|
526 | 100% correctly. This will be addressed as soon as we have
|
---|
527 | performed the switch to a more recent version of binutils.
|
---|
528 |
|
---|
529 | o A couple of new functions in libc, and a few corrections to
|
---|
530 | existing in respect to namespaces.
|
---|
531 |
|
---|
532 | o Addressed issues with calling conventions. We now detect
|
---|
533 | incompatible calling conventions, emitting warnings and errors
|
---|
534 | where appropriate.
|
---|
535 |
|
---|
536 | o _Optlink is much better, but there are still some issues
|
---|
537 | left. Passing prototyped floating point parameters to
|
---|
538 | _Optlink doesn't work. Mixing of parameters which go into
|
---|
539 | registers (eax, edx, ecx) and parameters which
|
---|
540 | don't - void foo(int eax, struct sss s, int edx) - doesn't
|
---|
541 | work. All these issues are being addressed and are expected
|
---|
542 | to be fixed in the next build.
|
---|
543 |
|
---|
544 | o Changed GCC to link with shared libc by default. This means
|
---|
545 | that in order to link with the static libc one has to specify
|
---|
546 | -static. It also means that -Zmtd or -Zcrtdll are no longer
|
---|
547 | required for linking with shared libc and can be removed from
|
---|
548 | all makescripts.
|
---|
549 |
|
---|
550 | o Changed EMXOMFLD defaults to ilink from Visual Age for C++
|
---|
551 | v3.6.5 or later (preferably later). The emxomfld usage output
|
---|
552 | will instruct you on how to use older linkers. For VAC308 and
|
---|
553 | VAC365 linkers /dbgpack is specified if debuginfo is to be
|
---|
554 | generated. Emxomf checks for EMXOMFLD_TYPE=link386 when choosing
|
---|
555 | debug info level.
|
---|
556 |
|
---|
557 | o Shipping three extra libc dlls:
|
---|
558 | libc02.dbg: Unstripped version of libc02.dll. This is
|
---|
559 | identical except from the presense of debug
|
---|
560 | info.
|
---|
561 | libc02.prf: Linked together from profiled enabled
|
---|
562 | libraries using kProfiler.
|
---|
563 | libc02.elh: Standard libc but linked with an external
|
---|
564 | electrical fence heap from kLibDbg.
|
---|
565 | These libc02.* dlls can be used instead of libc02.dll. kLibDbg
|
---|
566 | and kProfiler is available in separate zip files at same
|
---|
567 | location as the rest of the InnoTek GCC suite. However these
|
---|
568 | external tools are provided as is. (I might actually not find
|
---|
569 | time to put them out yet.)
|
---|
570 |
|
---|
571 | o Distribution is splitted into several zips:
|
---|
572 | -core.zip: All you really need.
|
---|
573 | -dbg.zip: Map files, unstripped tools and libs, and
|
---|
574 | libc02.elh.
|
---|
575 | -prf.zip: Profiling libraries and libc02.prf.
|
---|
576 | libc.zip: The runtime libraries. (included in core.)
|
---|
577 | The big zip is everything.
|
---|
578 |
|
---|
579 | v3.2.2 Alpha 3:
|
---|
580 | ---------------
|
---|
581 |
|
---|
582 | Primarily bugfixes.
|
---|
583 |
|
---|
584 | o Changed code generator for floating point truncations (double
|
---|
585 | to int casts and such) so PM can freely mess up the fpu status.
|
---|
586 |
|
---|
587 | o We were using the wrong float.h in two sense. We're now using
|
---|
588 | the correct one which includes all the PC defines and
|
---|
589 | prototypes.
|
---|
590 |
|
---|
591 | o Fixed a few issues with error defines and tcpip.
|
---|
592 | Note that some of the error defines have changed value in the
|
---|
593 | process so we could become compatible with the tcpip stack
|
---|
594 | and FreeBSD.
|
---|
595 |
|
---|
596 | o Corrected bugs in a number of headers.
|
---|
597 |
|
---|
598 | o Added more OS/2 prototypes and imports. There is still work
|
---|
599 | left on the header part,
|
---|
600 |
|
---|
601 | o Optimized emxomf debug info conversion.
|
---|
602 |
|
---|
603 | o Wrapped bsdselect for BSD 4.4 header mode to implement
|
---|
604 | bsdselect().
|
---|
605 |
|
---|
606 | o .... what did we forget...
|
---|
607 |
|
---|
608 |
|
---|
609 | v3.2.2 Alpha 2:
|
---|
610 | ---------------
|
---|
611 |
|
---|
612 | A few bugfixes and a couple of new features.
|
---|
613 |
|
---|
614 | o The TCP/IP headers and libraries scheme have been changed.
|
---|
615 | The default is the current OS/2 tcpip toolkit (BSD 4.4 based).
|
---|
616 | To target the older OS/2 tcpip stack (BSD 4.3 based) you must
|
---|
617 | define TCPV40HDRS before including any TCP/IP headers and make
|
---|
618 | sure usr/lib/tcpipv4 is searched before usr/lib (this is to
|
---|
619 | get the right libsocket). It is recommended to use the -D
|
---|
620 | compiler option for the define and either the LIBRARY_PATH or
|
---|
621 | the -L compiler/linker option for the library.
|
---|
622 |
|
---|
623 | o There are a couple of new and updated based on FreeBSD 5.1.
|
---|
624 | sys\stdint.h and inttypes.h (and a few internal once) are new.
|
---|
625 | sys\types.h and unistd.h are the ones most heavily updated.
|
---|
626 | We're working on getting the headers and libc in a better
|
---|
627 | shape standardwise to easy compatability and portability.
|
---|
628 |
|
---|
629 | o A infinite loop in emxomf has been fixed.
|
---|
630 |
|
---|
631 | o Linker error on sopen() has been corrected.
|
---|
632 |
|
---|
633 | o .... what did we forget...
|
---|
634 |
|
---|
635 |
|
---|
636 | v3.2.2 Alpha 1:
|
---|
637 | ---------------
|
---|
638 |
|
---|
639 | This is the first release from InnoTek, and it contains the InnoTek LIBC.
|
---|
640 | In addition to the new LIBC there is a number of other major changes:
|
---|
641 |
|
---|
642 | o Name mangling in OMF mode have changed.
|
---|
643 | Until this release emxomf used to pretty much strip one leading '_'
|
---|
644 | from symbols when converting them to omf. This is now longer done
|
---|
645 | chiefly in order to correctly support mangling calling conventions
|
---|
646 | like __stdcall and __cdecl. This change have the following side
|
---|
647 | effects:
|
---|
648 | - _System and __cdecl no longer produces the same names and hence
|
---|
649 | all OS/2 API which are _System must be declared as _System in
|
---|
650 | order to link.
|
---|
651 | - Assembly code might need an extra underscore to work, or
|
---|
652 | perhaps change the prototypes to _System.
|
---|
653 | - Global variables are prepended and underscore, so mixing VAC and
|
---|
654 | GCC, or accessing globals from asm, take care.
|
---|
655 | (MSC v6.0 does this too, so it's not any uncommon practise.)
|
---|
656 |
|
---|
657 | The OS/2 headers which are included are all updated to use _System.
|
---|
658 |
|
---|
659 | o TCPIP headers are updated a quite a bit to match the toolkit ones
|
---|
660 | and to reflect the fact that the new libc does not a having common
|
---|
661 | handle space for files and sockets. These changes aren't 100%
|
---|
662 | completed yet, and usage probably will uncover some issues left in
|
---|
663 | there. Also for the programmer there is the following changes in
|
---|
664 | the apis provided:
|
---|
665 | - TCPV40HDRS are supported and should work like with the toolkit
|
---|
666 | headers. It will alias all functions to tcpip40_ editions
|
---|
667 | (using #defines) so we get the right imports thru -llibsocket.
|
---|
668 | - There is no support for sockets in select(). To do select on
|
---|
669 | sockets you will have to use bsdselect() or os2_select().
|
---|
670 | bsdselect() is only available for TCPV40HDRS. For
|
---|
671 | !defined(TCPV40HDRS) fd_set is in the emx/bsd format and not the
|
---|
672 | OS/2 tcpip v5.0 format.
|
---|
673 | - Socket IOCTLs are not supported by the ioctl() libc function
|
---|
674 | because of the separate handle space for sockets. For sockets
|
---|
675 | so_ioctl() and os2_ioctl() are used. os2_ioctl() is not available
|
---|
676 | when TCPV40HDRS is defined. According to the tcpref in v5.0
|
---|
677 | so_ioctl() only supports BSD ioctls.
|
---|
678 | - writev() and readv() also clashes with libc. For socket handles
|
---|
679 | use so_writev() and so_readv().
|
---|
680 |
|
---|
681 | o The prefered OMF linker is now ilink. link386 will fail with an odd
|
---|
682 | error message if you tell gcc/g++ to make debug info. Set the
|
---|
683 | EMXOMFLD_LINKER environment variable to value ilink in order to use
|
---|
684 | ilink as OMF linker.
|
---|
685 | It likely that we will change the default OMF linker to ilink in an
|
---|
686 | later version of the GCC suite.
|
---|
687 |
|
---|
688 | o .... what did we forget...
|
---|
