2013-08-30fix typo in release notesv0.9.13Rich Felker-1/+1
2013-08-30release notes for 0.9.13Rich Felker-0/+55
2013-08-30only expose struct tcphdr under _GNU_SOURCERich Felker-1/+3
the BSD and GNU versions of this structure differ, so exposing it in the default _BSD_SOURCE profile is possibly problematic. both versions could be simultaneously supported with anonymous unions if needed in the future, but for now, just omitting it except under _GNU_SOURCE should be safe.
2013-08-30add struct tcphdr in netinet/tcp.hRich Felker-0/+33
2013-08-28remove -Wcast-align from --enable-warningsRich Felker-1/+0
I originally added this warning option based on a misunderstanding of how it works. it does not warn whenever the destination of the cast has stricter alignment; it only warns in cases where misaligned dereference could lead to a fault. thus, it's essentially a no-op for i386, which had me wrongly believing the code was clean for this warning level. on other archs, numerous diagnostic messages are produced, and all of them are false-positives, so it's better just not to use it.
2013-08-28optimized C memcpyRich Felker-16/+111
unlike the old C memcpy, this version handles word-at-a-time reads and writes even for misaligned copies. it does not require that the cpu support misaligned accesses; instead, it performs bit shifts to realign the bytes for the destination. essentially, this is the C version of the ARM assembly language memcpy. the ideas are all the same, and it should perform well on any arch with a decent number of general-purpose registers that has a barrel shift operation. since the barrel shifter is an optional cpu feature on microblaze, it may be desirable to provide an alternate asm implementation on microblaze, but otherwise the C code provides a competitive implementation for "generic risc-y" cpu archs that should alleviate the urgent need for arch-specific memcpy asm.
2013-08-28stdbool.h should define __bool_true_false_are_defined even for C++Rich Felker-2/+2
while the incorporation of this requirement from C99 into C++11 was likely an accident, some software expects it to be defined, and it doesn't hurt. if the requirement is removed, then presumably __bool_true_false_are_defined would just be in the implementation namespace and thus defining it would still be legal.
2013-08-27fix invalid instruction mnemonics in powerpc fenv asmRich Felker-3/+3
there is no non-dot version of the andis instruction, but there's no harm in updating the flags anyway, so just use the dot version.
2013-08-27optimized C memsetRich Felker-12/+77
this version of memset is optimized both for small and large values of n, and makes no misaligned writes, so it is usable (and near-optimal) on all archs. it is capable of filling up to 52 or 56 bytes without entering a loop and with at most 7 branches, all of which can be fully predicted if memset is called multiple times with the same size. it also uses the attribute extension to inform the compiler that it is violating the aliasing rules, unlike the previous code which simply assumed it was safe to violate the aliasing rules since translation unit boundaries hide the violations from the compiler. for non-GNUC compilers, 100% portable fallback code in the form of a naive loop is provided. I intend to eventually apply this approach to all of the string/memory functions which are doing word-at-a-time accesses.
2013-08-27add attribute((may_alias)) checking in configureRich Felker-0/+21
this will be needed for upcoming commits to the string/mem functions to correct their unannounced use of aliasing violations for word-at-a-time search, fill, and copy operations.
2013-08-25add the %s (seconds since the epoch) format to strftimeRich Felker-0/+4
this is a nonstandard extension but will be required in the next version of POSIX, and it's widely used/useful in shell scripts utilizing the date utility.
2013-08-24fix strftime regression in %e formatRich Felker-2/+2
%e pads with spaces instead of zeros.
2013-08-24properly fill in tzname[] for old (pre-64-bit-format) zoneinfo filesRich Felker-1/+22
in this case, the first standard-time and first daylight-time rules should be taken as the "default" ones to expose.
2013-08-24minor fix to tz name checkingRich Felker-2/+2
if a zoneinfo file is not (or is no longer) in use, don't check the abbrevs pointers, which may be invalid.
2013-08-24fix strftime handling of time zone dataRich Felker-8/+36
this may need further revision in the future, since POSIX is rather unclear on the requirements, and is designed around the assumption of POSIX TZ specifiers which are not sufficiently powerful to represent real-world timezones (this is why zoneinfo support was added). the basic issue is that strftime gets the string and numeric offset for the timezone from the extra fields in struct tm, which are initialized when calling localtime/gmtime/etc. however, a conforming application might have created its own struct tm without initializing these fields, in which case using __tm_zone (a pointer) could crash. other zoneinfo-based implementations simply check for a null pointer, but otherwise can still crash of the field contains junk. simply ignoring __tm_zone and using tzname[] would "work" but would give incorrect results in time zones with more complex rules. I feel like this would lower the quality of implementation. instead, simply validate __tm_zone: unless it points to one of the zone name strings managed by the timezone system, assume it's invalid. this commit also fixes several other minor bugs with formatting: tm_isdst being negative is required to suppress printing of the zone formats, and %z was using the wrong format specifiers since the type of val was changed, resulting in bogus output.
2013-08-23make dlopen honor the rpath of the main programRich Felker-1/+1
this seems to match what other systems do, and seems useful for programs that have their libraries and plugins stored relative to the executable.
2013-08-23fix mishandling of empty or blank TZ environment variableRich Felker-1/+1
the empty TZ string was matching equal to the initial value of the cached TZ name, thus causing do_tzset never to run and never to initialize the time zone data.
2013-08-23fix regression in dn_expand/reverse dnsRich Felker-1/+1
off-by-one error copying the name components was yielding junk at the beginning and truncating one character at the end (of every component).
2013-08-23fix bugs in $ORIGIN handlingRich Felker-3/+9
1. an occurrence of ${ORIGIN} before $ORIGIN would be ignored due to the strstr logic. (note that rpath contains multiple :-delimited paths to be searched.) 2. data read by readlink was not null-terminated.
2013-08-23use AT_EXECFN, if available, for dynamic linker to identify main programRich Felker-1/+5
fallback to argv[0] as before. unlike argv[0], AT_EXECFN was a valid (but possibly relative) pathname for the new program image at the time the execve syscall was made. as a special case, ignore AT_EXECFN if it begins with "/proc/", in order not to give bogus (and possibly harmful) results when fexecve was used.
2013-08-23add rpath $ORIGIN processing to dynamic linkerRich Felker-3/+59
2013-08-23add recursive rpath support to dynamic linkerRich Felker-12/+13
previously, rpath was only honored for direct dependencies. in other words, if A depends on B and B depends on C, only B's rpath (if any), not A's rpath, was being searched for C. this limitation made rpath-based deployment difficult in the presence of multiple levels of library dependency. at present, $ORIGIN processing in rpath is still unsupported.
2013-08-23fix missing string.h in strftime.c (needed by new strftime code)Rich Felker-0/+1
this bug was masked by local experimental CFLAGS in my config.mak.
2013-08-22fix some documentation typosRich Felker-2/+2
2013-08-22add strftime and wcsftime field widthsRich Felker-24/+81
at present, since POSIX requires %F to behave as %+4Y-%m-%d and ISO C requires %F to behave as %Y-%m-%d, the default behavior for %Y has been changed to match %+4Y. this seems to be the only way to conform to the requirements of both standards, and it does not affect years prior to the year 10000. depending on the outcome of interpretations from the standards bodies, this may be adjusted at some point.
2013-08-22simplify strftime and fix integer overflowsRich Felker-28/+12
use a long long value so that even with offsets, values cannot overflow. instead of using different format strings for different numeric formats, simply use a per-format width and %0*lld for all of them. this width specifier is not for use with strftime field widths; that will be a separate step in the caller.
2013-08-22strftime cleanup: avoid recomputing strlen when it's knownRich Felker-10/+16
2013-08-22more strftime refactoringRich Felker-23/+25
make __strftime_fmt_1 return a string (possibly in the caller-provided temp buffer) rather than writing into the output buffer. this approach makes more sense when padding to a minimum field width might be required, and it's also closer to what wcsftime wants.
2013-08-22begin refactoring strftime to make adding field widths easierRich Felker-151/+161
2013-08-21add SUN_LEN macro to sys/un.h under appropriate feature testsRich Felker-0/+19
this is ugly and useless, but it seems to be the least-ugly way to provide it...
2013-08-21unbreak vwarn: print ": " before errno messageRich Felker-2/+5
patch by Strake. this seems to be a regression caused by fixing the behavior of perror("") to match perror(0) at some point in the past.
2013-08-20fix two bugs in sed code configure uses to save command lineRich Felker-1/+1
one place where semicolon (non-portable) was still used in place of separate -e options (copied over from an old version of this code), and use of a literal slash in the bracket expression for the final command, despite slash being used as the delimiter for the s command.
2013-08-18re-add logic for ignoring failure of ld.so symlink installationRich Felker-1/+1
this was inadvertently removed when switching to the new install.sh.
2013-08-18fix fenv exception functions to mask their argumentSzabolcs Nagy-18/+55
fesetround.c is a wrapper to do the arch independent argument check (on archs where rounding mode is not stored in 2 bits __fesetround still has to check its arguments) on powerpc fe*except functions do not accept the extra invalid flags of its fpscr register the useless FENV_ACCESS pragma was removed from feupdateenv
2013-08-18optimize x86 feclearexcept: only use save/restore x87 fenv if neededSzabolcs Nagy-27/+38
the x87 exception summary (ES) and stack fault (SF) flags may be spuriously cleared by feclearexcept using the fnclex instruction, but these flags are not observable through libc hence maintaining their state is not critical.
2013-08-18remove the __mxcsr member from fenv_t on i386 to follow the glibc abiSzabolcs Nagy-1/+0
in the previous commit sse fenv support was added, but there is no need to save mxcsr (sse fenv register) so fix the abi incompatibility with glibc.
2013-08-18add sse fenv support on i386 through hwcapSzabolcs Nagy-9/+61
the sse and x87 rounding modes should be always the same, the visible exception flags are the bitwise or of the two fenv states (so it's enough to query the rounding mode or raise exceptions on one fenv)
2013-08-18fix i386 fesetenv: FE_DFL_ENV is (fenv_t*)-1 not 0Szabolcs Nagy-2/+2
2013-08-17remove spurious tmp file present since initial git check-inRich Felker-390/+0
2013-08-17replace system's install command with a shell scriptRich Felker-7/+72
the historical (non-standardized) install command is really inappropriate for installing binaries/libraries on a system that utilizes memory-mapped executable files. rather than replacing an existing file atomically, it overwrites the existing file. this can cause running programs to see a partially-modified version of the file, resulting in unpredictable behavior, or SIGBUS. a MAP_COPY mode for mmap would get around this problem, but Linux lacks MAP_COPY. the shell script added with this commit works around the problem by writing temporary files and moving them into place. unlike the historical install utility, it also support a -l option for installing a symbolic link atomically, via the same method.
2013-08-17add hkscs/big5-2003/eten extensions to iconv big5Rich Felker-977/+1433
with these changes, the character set implemented as "big5" in musl is a pure superset of cp950, the canonical "big5", and agrees with the normative parts of Unicode. this means it has minor differences from both hkscs and big5-2003: - the range A2CC-A2CE maps to CJK ideographs rather than numerals, contrary to changes made in big5-2003. - C6CD maps to a CJK ideograph rather than its corresponding Kangxi radical character, contrary to changes made in hkscs. - F9FE maps to U+2593 rather than U+FFED. of these differences, none but the last are visually distinct, and the last is a character used purely for text-based graphics, not to convey linguistic content. should there be future demand for strict conformance to big5-2003 or hkscs mappings, the present charset aliases can be replaced with distinct variants. reportedly there are other non-standard big5 extensions in common use in Taiwan and perhaps elsewhere, which could also be added as layers on top of the existing big5 support. there may be additional characters which should be added to the hkscs table: the whatwg standard for big5 defines what appears to be a superset of hkscs.
2013-08-16make configure store its command line in config.mak for easy re-runRich Felker-1/+11
proper shell quoting and pretty-printing (avoiding ugly gratuitous quoting and bad quoting style) is included.
2013-08-16fix atomicity and other issues installing dynamic linker symlinkRich Felker-5/+3
ln -sf is non-atomic; it unlinks the destination first. instead, make a temporary link and rename it into place. this commit also fixes some of the dependency tracking behavior for the link. depending on the directory it's to be installed in is not reasonable; it causes a new link to be attempted if the library directory has been modified, but does not attempt to make a new link just because libc has been updated. instead, depend on the target to be linked to. this will ensure that, if prefix has changed but syslibdir has not, the link will be updated to point to the new prefix.
2013-08-16some initial math asm for armhf (fabs[f] and sqrt[f])Rich Felker-0/+32
2013-08-16fix detection of arm hardfloatRich Felker-2/+2
it turns out that __SOFTFP__ does not indicate the ABI in use but rather that fpu instructions are not to be used at all. this is specified in ARM's documentation so I'm unclear on how I previously got the wrong idea. unfortunately, this resulted in the 0.9.12 release producing a dynamic linker with the wrong name. fortunately, there do not yet seem to be any public toolchain builds using the wrong name. the __ARM_PCS_VFP macro does not seem to be official from ARM, and in fact it was missing from the very earliest gcc versions (around 4.5.x) that added -mfloat-abi=hard. it would be possible on such versions to perform some ugly linker-based tests instead in hopes that the linker will reject ABI-mismatching object files, if there is demand for supporting such versions. I would probably prefer to document which versions are broken and warn users to manually add -D__ARM_PCS_VFP if using such a version. there's definitely an argument to be made that the fenv macros should be exposed even in -mfloat-abi=softfp mode. for now, I have chosen not to expose them in this case, since the math library will not necessarily have the capability to raise exceptions (it depends on the CFLAGS used to compile it), and since exceptions are officially excluded from the ARM EABI, which the plain "arm" arch aims to follow.
2013-08-16support floating point environment (fenv) on armhf (hard float) subarchsRich Felker-0/+75
patch by nsz. I've tested it on an armhf machine and it seems to be working correctly.
2013-08-16fix build of x86_64 expl assemblyRich Felker-1/+1
apparently this label change was not carried over when adapting the changes from the i386 version.
2013-08-15add function types to arm crt assemblyRich Felker-0/+4
without these, calls may be resolved incorrectly if the calling code has been compiled to thumb instead of arm. it's not clear to me at this point whether crt_arch.h is even working if crt1.c is built as thumb; this needs testing. but the _init and _fini issues were known to cause crashes in static-linked apps when libc was built as thumb, and this commit should fix that issue.
2013-08-15math: fix pow(x,-1) to raise underflow properlySzabolcs Nagy-2/+14
if FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 check if (double)(1/x) is subnormal and not a power of 2 (if 1/x is power of 2 then either it is exact or the long double to double rounding already raised inexact and underflow)
2013-08-15math: fix i386 atan2.s to raise underflow for subnormal resultsSzabolcs Nagy-2/+24
