(_dl_sysdep_read_whole_file): Fix result variable declaration. Tue Jul 16 00:53:57 1996 Roland McGrath <roland@delasyd.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * sysdeps/mach/hurd/uname.c: Call __gethostname to fill in the `nodename' member. Mon Jul 15 17:23:53 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * stdio-common/vfprintf.c (vfprintf): Call parse_one_spec with pointer to local variable instead of NULL. 1996-07-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> * time/strftime.c (strftime): Don't pass empty macro argument to `add'. Sat Jul 13 09:53:39 1996 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Remove names that are already added by other means. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list: Add more EXTRA's in the caller column to get those syscalls added automagically. * elf/rtld.c (dl_main) [ELF_MACHINE_DEBUG_SETUP]: Use this macro instead of setting the DT_DEBUG pointer. * csu/initfini.c (_init, _fini): Generate .end directives after standalone prologues and filter them out from epilogues.
1996-07-12* math/Makefile (calls): Add s_frexp, s_ldexp.Roland McGrath
(routines): Remove them and &f from here. * sys/socket.h: New file, wrapper for socket/sys/socket.h. Thu Jul 11 00:22:40 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_frexpl.c: New file. `long double' implementation of frexp() function. * sysdeps/libm-ieee754/s_ldexpl.c: New file. `long double' implementation of ldexp() function. * sysdeps/libm-i387/s_isnanl.c (isnanl): Mask explicit one out before or'ing.

* math/math.h (_Mfloat_, _Mlong_double_): New macros, defined iff not already defined to float, long double. Use those macros for _Mdouble_ defns when including mathcalls.h. * math/Makefile [$(long-double-fcts) != yes] (CPPFLAGS): Append -D_Mlong_double_=double. Add more -lm functions to -lc because ldexp uses them. * math/Makefile (calls): Add s_finite, s_copysign, s_scalbn, s_modf. (routines): Remove s_modf, add s_frexpf, s_ldexpf; all but frexp and ldexp have both f and l code, and those have f though not l code. memcpy for possibly overlapping strings.

Include .frame directive to make syscalls debugabble. (PSEUDO_END): New macro. * sysdeps/unix/alpha/sysdep.h, sysdeps/alpha/bb_init_func.S, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/brk.S: Use ldiq instead of ldi since latter is illegal under DEC Unix. * sysdeps/unix/alpha/sysdep.S: Renamed from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/sysdep.S. This file works for OSF/1 as well. * sysdeps/unix/bsd/osf/alpha/sysdep.S: Remove (note that the EWOULDBLOCK -> EAGAIN mapping was unnecessary since EWOULDBLOCK==EAGAIN under DEC Unix and Linux/Alpha). * sysdeps/alpha/divrem.h: Use retaddr instead of ra as the return address register in the .frame directive. * sysdeps/alpha/copysign.c: Remove. * sunrpc/rpc/types.h: Include <sys/param.h> and <netinet/in.h> to avoid RPC definitions of INADDR_LOOPBACK and/or MAXHOSTNAMELEN. * errno.h: Move __END_DECLS to correct place to make file compilable under c++. * dirent/dirent.h: Document _DIRENT_HAVE_D_OFF macro. Define d_ino only if <direntry.h> hasn't defined d_fileno. * configure.in (HAVE_ASM_WEAKEXT_DIRECTIVE): Reverse order of arguments to weakext to make .weakext detection work on ECOFF systems. * FAQ: Add Linux/Alpha to list of supported platforms. Mention that _validuser() has been replaced by __ivaliduser(). Thu Jun 6 21:39:38 1996 David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@azstarnet.com> * sysdeps/unix/bsd/sun/sunos4/tcsetattr.c (tcsetattr): Declare cmd as unsigned long, not as int (to avoid incorrect int->long promotion).

Now based on getut*/setut* functions. * stdlib/strtol.c: Undo changes of Wed May 22 01:48:54 1996. This prevented using this file in other GNU packages. * sysdeps/gnu/utmpbits.h: Define _HAVE_UT_TYPE, _HAVE_UT_ID, and _HAVE_UT_TV because struct utmp has these members. * sysdeps/libm-i387/e_exp.S: Correct exp(+-Inf) case. * utmp.h: New file. Wrapper around login/utmp.h. * elf/dl-error.c (struct catch): New type. (catch): New static variable, struct catch *. (catch_env, signalled_errstring, signalled_objname): Variables removed.
