11v3.2.2 Beta 4:
12--------------
13
14 (The changelog is removed, thus the release notes are more detailed.)
15
16 New features and fixes:
17
18 o Filehandle rewrite. Files, pipes and sockets now share the same
19 handle space.
20
21 o Updated binutils from v2.11.2 to v2.14 adding as-elf.exe and
22 ld-elf.exe as goodies for the adventurous.
23
24 o GCC defines __INNOTEK_LIBC__=0x005.
25 The value reflects the LIBC version, form: 0xGMM
26 Where G=major version and MM=middle version numbers.
27
28 o Changed library search algorithms for the linkers (emxomfld
29 and ld). Three variations, static, shared and shared+dll.
30 (The options indicated corresponds to what binutils 2.12.x
31 documents.)
32 static: (-Bstatic, -non_shared, -dn, -static)
33 1. libfoo_s.a
34 2. foo_s.a
35 3. libfoo.a
36 4. foo.a
37 shared: (default, -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
38 1. libfoo_dll.a
39 2. foo_dll.a
40 3. libfoo.a
41 4. foo.a
42 5. libfoo_s.a
43 6. foo_s.a
44 shared+dll: (-Zdll-search with -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
45 1. libfoo_dll.a
46 2. foo_dll.a
47 3. libfoo.a
48 4. foo.a
49 5. foo.dll
50 6. libfoo_s.a
51 7. foo_s.a
52
53 o Added some deadlock checking/termination checks to semphores.
54
55 o Added macros to os2emx.h for preserving FPU control word and
56 applied these to certing read and write operations in LIBC.
57
58 o Added feature to emxomfld to automatically convert a.out
59 libraries and objects to OMF (using temporary files). Enabled
60 by default but can be disabled by the option -Zno-autoconv.
61
62 o Added support to emximp for dlls.
63
64 o Added support for automatic conversion of dlls to temporary
65 import libraries emxomfld and ld.
66
67 o Added getopt_long() and changed getopt() to FreeBSD
68 implementations.
69
70 o Added a few more code page aliases.
71
72 o Added optional breakpoint in abort. The presense of the env.var.
73 LIBC_BREAKPOINT_ABORT triggers the breakpoint instruction.
74
75 o Added syslog interfaces (contrib from Yuri Dario).
76
77 o Added to libc and updated BSD db code to FreeBSD 5.1 level.
78
79 o Added to libc and updated regex code to FreeBSD 5.1 level.
80
81 o Ported the posix spawn api from GLIBC v2.3.2.
82
83 o Updated with os2emx.h flags for DosQueryMemState().
84
85 o Changed size_t to unsigned int (from unsigned long int) and
86 ptrdiff_t to signed int (from signed long int) to comply with
87 most of the other i386 environments.
88
89 o Changed abort and default signal termination messages to say
90 which process it's printed from.
91
92 o Changed the glob() and globfree() implemenation with a port of
93 the FreeBSD 5.1 implemenation.
94
95 o Changed so_ioctl() to os2_ioctl() to better match the toolkit.
96
97 o Changed time_t to be signed as in BSD & linux.
98 (Negative values means date/time before epoc.)
99
100 o Changed to FreeBSD implementation of difftime().
101
102 o Increased default stream buffer size to 2 pages.
103
104 o Workaround for DosSetFileLocksL() on non JFS volumes.
105
106 o Workaround for bad FIL_STANDARDL buffer handling in os2krnl.
107
108 o Fixed waitpid() to respect the WNOHANG flag.
109
110 o Fixed strerror() to set errno if an invalid error number is
111 specified.
112
113 o Fixed problem with emxexp emitting ordinal without being told.
114
115 o Fixed broken setenv().
116
117 o Fixed errno value for read() and write() when the handle isn't
118 opened for that operation.
119
120 o Fixed a bad record length problem in emxomf.
121
122 o Fixed type_tag too long issue in emxomf.
123
124 o Fixed repetition of main source file in HLL debuginfo (emxomf).
125
126 o Fixed weakld problem with selfrefering aliases.
127
128 o Fixed weakld problem with PUBLIC and COMM clash.
129
130 o Fixed problem with streams not being flushed on termination.

135
136 o Fixed crash in ld when having fixups to weak symbols.
137
138 o Fixed bad conversion of dll0*.o to OMF, the OMF version got an
139 unwanted stack object.

142 isblank(), ishexnumber(), isnumber(), mempcpy(), realpath(),
143 strnlen(), asctime_r(), ctime_r(), gmtime_r(), localtime_r(),
