1997-10-31 23:16 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * posix/glob.c (glob): If calling glob_in_dir for a list which was generated by a glob call disable GLOB_ERR since there might be non-directories in the list (PR203). * posix/glob.h (GLOB_ONLYDIR): New flag. (__GLOB_FLAGS): Add GLOB_ONLYDIR. * posix/glob.c: Define HAVE_D_TYPE if _DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE is defined. (glob): Add GLOB_ONLYDIR to recursive call to match dirname. (glob_in_dir) [HAVE_D_TYPE]: While reading directory entries test whether they are directories if GLOB_ONLYDIR flag is given. * manual/pattern.texi: Document GLOB_ONLYDIR. * misc/Makefile (tests): Add tst-fdset. * sysdeps/i386/bits/select.h: Rewrite asm macros to be cleaner. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Add xstatconv.c. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/Dist: Likewise. * time/strptime.c (strptime_internal): In %y format, regard years >= 69 as of twentieth century, all other as of twenty-first. * time/tzset.c: Correct typo and little optimization. 1997-10-31 16:01 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * inet/getnetgrent.c: Allocate buffer dynamically if needed. Suggested by Joe Keane <jgk@jgk.org>. 1997-10-31 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de> * io/ftw.h: Declare __ftw64_func_t and __nftw64_func_t only when __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 || __USE_LARGEFILE64 is true. 1997-10-30 05:47 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * misc/mntent.c: Don't use statically allocated buffer. Allocate it dynamically if necessary. * misc/efgcvt.c: Likewise. Patch by Joe Keane <jgk@jgk.org>. * misc/mntent.c: Allow freeing of allocated buffer in __libc_subfreeres. * misc/efgcvt.c: Likewise. * misc/efgcvt.c: Call correct reentrant functions. Use better values for MAXDIG. * misc/qefgcvt.c: Use better values for MAXDIG. 1997-10-29 18:48 Richard Henderson <rth@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [io]: Add xstatconv. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/xstatconv.c: New file. Convert between kernel_stat and the userland version indicated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/stat.h: Define _STAT_VER_KERNEL. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fxstat.c: Defer to __xstat_conv. Alias to __*xstat64 if requested. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lxstat.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstat.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/bits/stat.h: Add struct stat64. Increment _STAT_VER, and make struct stat the same. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/bits/types.h: Add __ino64_t, and __off64_t. Reorganize. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/kernel_stat.h: Add struct glibc2_stat for backward compatibility. Define XSTAT_IS_XSTAT64. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/fxstat64.c: Empty file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/lxstat64.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/xstat64.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/bits/dirent.h (struct dirent): For consistency, force d_ino to use ino_t and supply padding. 1997-10-29 18:47 Richard Henderson <rth@cygnus.com> * libio/iofopen.c: Correct weak_alias.

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]
|
|
|
|
[ *] configuring with CFLAGS="-pipe" configure doesn't work
|
|
with gcc. This seems to be a bug in gcc 2.7.2.x (egcs doesn't
|
|
have this bug).
|
|
[PR libc/245]
