1997-11-04 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * manual/filesys.texi: Correct description of return value for readdir_r. * sysdeps/unix/readdir_r.c (__readdir_r): Return value of errno not -1 in error case. * sysdeps/generic/readdir_r.c (__readdir_r): Return ENOSYS not -1. Reported by Jim Meyering <meyering@eng.ascend.com>. 1997-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * strftime.c: Use host's underlying strftime to access locale-specific info. This is useful e.g. when building GNU Emacs under Solaris 2.6. (weekday_name, month_name): Omit if HAVE_STRFTIME. (my_strftime): New macro, which names the strftime function that this source file produces. (strftime): #undef if emacs is defined; this works around Emacs 20.2's method of compiling with -Dstrftime=emacs_strftime. Also, declare as a function returning size_t, for similar reasons. (my_strftime): If HAVE_STRFTIME, use underlying strftime to handle locale-dependent formats like %a and %Ec. 1997-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * strftime.c (memcpy_lowcase, memcpy_uppcase, strftime): Ensure that args to islower and isupper are valid unsigned chars, even if char is signed. 1997-11-04 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * assert/Makefile (headers): Add assert.h, necessary after patch to Makefiles. * ctype/Makefile (headers): Likewise. * pwd/Makefile (headers): Likewise. * grp/Makefile (headers): Likewise. Patch by NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@mri.co.jp>. 1997-11-04 03:08 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * glibcbug.in: Add information about configured target. Patch by Zack Weinberg <zack@rabi.phys.columbia.edu>. * elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_versioned_symbol): Be prepared for empty string as `reference_name' parameter. * elf/rtld.c: Don't set real program name in l_name of main object. * manual/creature.texi: Apply Paul Eggert's patch for better _POSIX_C_SOURCE description. * stdlib/strfmon.c: Fix numerous bugs in formatting. * time/strptime.c [%Y]: Treat all years, not only those which fit in time_t. [%Oy]: Really store value. Patches by Paul Eggert. * wcsmbs/wchar.h: Fix documentation bugs. Declare wcsdup only is __USE_GNU. 1997-11-03 02:48 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/generic/bits/errno.h: Remove all error definitions. This is only meant as a stub. 1997-10-31 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de> * sysdeps/standalone/bits/errno.h: Copied from sysdeps/generic/bits/errno.h and added all know error codes that are used in glibc. 1997-11-03 02:23 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/generic/make_siglist.c: Add comment to clarify use and make sure the correct _NSIG value is used. Patch by Klaus Espenlaub <kespenla@student.informatik.uni-ulm.de>. 1997-11-03 00:20 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * intl/localealias.c (read_alias_file): Correct handling of line reader which sometimes skipped complete lines (PR 205). Optimize a bit by using mempcpy. 1997-11-02 16:59 Philipp Thomas <kthomas@gwdg.de> * intl/localealias.c (read_alias_file): Correctly set map[].value instead of overwriting map[].alias 1997-11-02 15:32 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * libc.map: Add _IO_flockfile and _IO_funlockfile. Suggested by H.J. Lu <hjl@lucon.org>. 1997-11-02 15:17 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * elf/dl-error.c (_dl_signal_error): Use _strerror_internal instead of strerror. * assert/assert-perr.c: Use _strerror_internal directly instead of __strerror_r. Suggested by Joe Keane <jgk@jgk.org>. 1997-11-01 16:46 Zack Weinberg <zack@rabi.phys.columbia.edu> * configure.in: Check for gcc-2.7.2 -pipe bug and hack around it (PR 245). 1997-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * time/strptime.c (strptime_internal): Fix bug: %Oy forgot to assign tm_year. Do not restrict %Y to years less than 2037 even on 32-bit time_t hosts, as strptime returns an int tm_year, not a time_t, and it's possible for programs to use the year without having to use time_t. non-directories in the list (PR 203).

This following list contains those bugs which I'm aware of. Please
|
|
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
|
|
of these bugs/limitations I'll certainly be glad to receive a patch.
|
|
|
|
Another source of information about bugs is the problem data base of the
|
|
GNU project. There is an easy to use WWW interface available at
|
|
|
|
http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate it very much if you could verify the problem was not
|
|
reported before by looking through the database. To make the information
|
|
in this database as useful as possible please report bugs always using the
|
|
`glibcbug' shell script which gets installed with GNU libc.

Severity: [ *] to [***]
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ **] There are problems with signal handling when using LinuxThreads.
|
|
|
|
[ **] The libm-ieee `log2' function seems to be very inaccurate.
|
|
|
|
[ *] The libm-ieee `remquo' function rounds 3.0/2.0 incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
[ *] The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
|
|
to be the best.
|
|
|
|
[ *] The syslog function should print to the console if the LOG_CONS
|
|
flag was given.
|
|
[PR libc/72]
|
|
|
|
[ *] On Linux, there should be a way to prevent defining the symbol
|
|
NGROUPS_MAX in the <linux/limits.h> header file. In glibc it
|
|
is defined in <posix1_lim.h> which must not make the other
|
|
symbols in <linux/limits.h> available.
|
|
[PR libc/140]
|
|
|
|
[ *] The localedef program should not generate errors if for categories
|
|
which are not used for the output there are characters referenced
|
|
which are not defined in the charmap.
|
|
[PR libc/229]
|
|
|
|
[ *] The rcmd() functions (more concrete: the handling of .rhosts) does
|
|
not support netgroups and wildcards (+).
|
|
|
|
[ *] The first alias definition in locale.alias is ignored.
|
|
[PR libc/205]
|
|
|
|
[ *] When assembling a locale definition, that uses the "copy"
|
|
directive, with localedef, not only the copied category is
|
|
checked for errors, but the whole file containing the same
|
|
category.
|
|
[PR libc/207]
