| 12 | GCC v3.3.4 / LIBC v0.6 - Alpha 2:
|
|---|
| 13 | ---------------------------------
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | This release have been timebombed and will stop work at the
|
|---|
| 16 | end of october 2004. The reason for this is that data structures
|
|---|
| 17 | shared between LIBC 0.6 and all future LIBC versions are not yet
|
|---|
| 18 | finalized.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | New Features:
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | o Updated GCC to version 3.3.4.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | o 2nd fork() implementation.
|
|---|
| 26 | All binaries are by default forkable, use the link option
|
|---|
| 27 | -Zno-fork to disable this.
|
|---|
| 28 | The fork implementation rendered _rmutex useless and it
|
|---|
| 29 | has been removed.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | o Symlinks using EAs. This is work in progress. One of the
|
|---|
| 32 | limitiations is that readir will not report DT_LNK yet.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | o Unix compartment using chroot(). This offers a
|
|---|
| 35 | redirection of '/' to the chroot'ed root. The entrance
|
|---|
| 36 | to the compartment is the '/'. The exits are drive letters.
|
|---|
| 37 | The unix compartment is inherited by LIBC child processes.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | o getcwd() will now return the driveletter too (as VAC does)
|
|---|
| 40 | when not inside the unix compartement.
|
|---|
| 41 | _getcwdux() has been provided for porters which requires
|
|---|
| 42 | behaviour like the old getcwd() implementation.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | o Paths to unix files #defined in headers are now prefixed
|
|---|
| 45 | with "/@unixroot" which will be redirected to where the
|
|---|
| 46 | environment variable UNIXROOT points. After calling
|
|---|
| 47 | chroot() the target of "/@unixroot" will be changed too.
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | o LIBC specific path rewriting (redirection). Built in is
|
|---|
| 50 | "/dev/null", "/dev/tty" and "/@unixroot".
|
|---|
| 51 | The environment variable LIBC_PATHREWRITERS is examined
|
|---|
| 52 | during init and DLLs specified in it are loaded and called.
