2012-04-30Fix February month name in de_AT localeAurelien Jarno
The current de_AT locale defines "Feber" for the month of February, which is correct in some parts of Austria, but is not the standards. This patch fixes the problem by changing it to the standards version "Februar". 2012-04-29 Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net> * locales/de_AT: Change month name from "Feber" to "Februar".

[BZ #7064] vm86 was not included in libc.a at all due to the default symbol explicitely added to the weak symbol.
2012-04-17Fix ilogb exception and errno (bug 6794)Adhemerval Zanella
[BZ #6794] Following Joseph comments about bug 6794, here is a proposed fix. It turned out to be a large fix mainly because I had to move some file along to follow libm files/names conventions. Basically I have added wrappers (w_ilogb.c, w_ilogbf.c, w_ilogbl.c) that now calls the symbol '__ieee754_ilogb'. The wrappers checks for '__ieee754_ilogb' output and set the errno and raise exceptions as expected. The '__ieee754_ilogb' is implemented in sysdeps. I have moved the 's_ilogb[f|l]' files to e_ilogb[f|l] and renamed the '__ilogb[f|l]' to '__ieee754_ilogb[f|l]'. I also found out a bug in i386 and x86-64 assembly coded ilogb implementation where it raises a FE_DIVBYZERO when argument is '0.0'. I corrected this issue as well. Finally I added the errno and FE_INVALID tests for 0.0, NaN and +-InF argument. Tested on i386, x86-64, ppc32 and ppc64.

2012-04-13cy_GB/en_GB: set am/pm in timesMike Frysinger
The British people apparently use am/pm in time, so make it available to them. While we're here, sync the date_fmt field from en_GB to cy_GB. Fedora has been carrying this for the better part of a decade, and Debian has had it, and now that I've gotten a request from some British people to add it to Gentoo, I'd rather get it merged into mainline. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> 2012-04-12 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> [BZ #3768] * locales/en_GB: Set am_pm and t_fmt_ampm fields. * locales/cy_GB: Likewise. Also copy date_fmt from en_GB.

2012-04-11Remove __wur from fwrite, fwrite_unlockedJim Meyering
[BZ #11959] * libio/stdio.h (fwrite, fwrite_unlocked): Remove __wur. It is not necessarily an error to ignore fwrite's return value. One can reliably use ferror to test for errors after the fact.

Patch from Fedora by Jeff Law. Acknowledged by Jordi Mallach.
2012-04-05Fix size parameter comparisions.Michael Matz
[BZ #13592] There are several signed compares of the size argument, whereas it really is unsigned. Depending on situations e.g. a "memset(ptr, 0, -1)" segfault (but for the wrong reasons, because jumping into nirvana) or succeeds even. In normal use this is harmless, as a size with signbit set indicates more than half the address space which on x86_64 is impossible to allocate, but as the size is used to index some jump tables this potentially could have other unwanted side effects.
2012-04-05Don't warn about unused result of mktempAndreas Jaeger
[BZ #13908] mktemp always returns TEMPLATE, the caller should check TEMPLATE[0] instead of TEMPLATE, so do not warn about the unused result. Fix also the comment for mktemp

2012-04-03Add __bswap_64 definition for non GCC compilers.Andreas Jaeger
[BZ#13926] Currently __bswap_64 is not defined at all for non-GCC compilers. Define it but guard it with __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG. endian.h uses __bswap_64, make the functions only available if __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG is defined.
2012-03-30Consider TTL of CNAME record and return minimum TTL in the chainSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #13928] A DNS request consists of multiple resources combined into a single hostent, including multiple CNAME records that may have been assigned different TTL values. In such a case, nscd should take the least TTL among all of the resources as the timeout for the hostent before it is reloaded in its cache so that the hostent remains stale in the database for the least amount of time.
2012-03-30Fix a bug when converting strings with 1 character using TCVN5712-1Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho
It isn't necessary to buffer the last character of strings. This can cause a bug with strings that have 1 character between 0x0041 and 0x01b0. [BZ #13691] * iconvdata/tcvn5712-1.c (FROM_LOOP): Fix a bug when converting strings with only 1 character between 0x0041 and 0x01b0. * wcsmbs/Makefile (tests): Add tst-mbsnrtowcs. * wcsmbs/tst-mbsnrtowcs.c: New file.

* resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c (gaih_getanswer): Look for errno in the right place. Discard and retry query if response is larger than input buffer size.
