c.lib 1.205 (21.8.2010)
A portable ISO 'C' (1994) runtime library for the Amiga computers.
Changes in this version:
- Added dlclose(), dlerror(), dlopen() and dlsym() functions, which are
available only under OS4. There is a variant of dlopen() in libunix.a
which will perform a path name conversion. Note that these functions
will not work in the thread-safe variant of the library because it
would be unwise to tinker with the currently running program's binary.
- Added support for ELF shared objects and libraries. This is implemented
through
constructor/destructor functions, which means that you can use this
functionality even in Amiga Exec style shared libraries, with the proper
library initialization code to invoke the constructor/destructor functions
for you.
- Updated uname() to recognize AmigaOS 4.1.
- The translation from Unix to Amiga path names did not properly process
multiple occurences of "/./" in the path name. Thanks go to Steven Solie
for finding the issue.
- The detection of "/./" and "/../" patterns in Unix path names to be
translated into Amiga path names did not test if it was overrunning
the end of the string.
- If strcmp(), strncmp() and memcmp() detect a pair of different
characters, then the function result must be calculated as if the
characters were of type "unsigned char". This is a requirement
according to the ISO 'C' (1994) standard. Thanks go to Georg Steger
for finding the issue.
- The definitions for INT_MIN, INT_MAX and UINT_MAX in <limits.h> no
longer use long integer types, as prompted by Steven Solie.
