However, retesting on m68k showed up a problem that had appeared in
uClibc since the last time I tried. Specifically, revision 15785 did:
-#define HEAP_GRANULARITY (sizeof (HEAP_GRANULARITY_TYPE))
+#define HEAP_GRANULARITY (__alignof__ (HEAP_GRANULARITY_TYPE))
-#define MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (sizeof (double))
+#define MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (__alignof__ (double))
The problem is that
(a) MALLOC_HEADER_SIZE == MALLOC_ALIGNMENT
(b) the header contains a size value of type size_t
(c) sizeof (size_t) is 4 on m68k, but...
(d) __alignof__ (double) is only 2 (the largest alignment used on m68k)
So we only allocate 2 bytes for the 4-byte header, and the least
significant 2 bytes of the size are in the user's area rather than
the header. The patch below fixes that problem by redefining
MALLOC_HEADER_SIZE to:
MAX (MALLOC_ALIGNMENT, sizeof (size_t))
(but without the help of the MAX macro ;)). However, we really would
like to have word alignment on Coldfire. It makes a big performance
difference, and because we have to allocate a 4-byte header anyway,
what wastage there is will be confined to the end of the allocated block.
Any wastage will also be limited to 2 bytes per allocation compared to
the current alignment.
I've therefore used the __aligned__ type attribute to create a double
type that has at least sizeof (size_t) bytes of alignment. I've
introduced a new __attribute_aligned__ macro for this. It might seem
silly protecting against old or non-GNU compilers here, but the extra
alignment is only an optimisation, and having the macro is more in the
spirit of the other attribute code.

Should be standards compliant and with several optional features,
including support for hexadecimal float notation, locale awareness,
glibc-like locale-specific digit grouping with the `'' flag, and
positional arg support. I tested it pretty well (finding several
bugs in glibc's scanf in the process), but it is brand new so be
aware.
The *wprintf functions now support floating point output. Also, a
couple of bugs were squashed. Finally, %a/%A conversions are
now implemented.
Implement the glibc xlocale interface for thread-specific locale
support. Also add the various *_l(args, locale_t loc_arg) funcs.
NOTE!!! setlocale() is NOT threadsafe! NOTE!!!
The strto{floating point} conversion functions are now locale aware.
The also now support hexadecimal floating point notation.
Add the wcsto{floating point} conversion functions.
Fix a bug in mktime() related to dst. Note that unlike glibc's mktime,
uClibc's version always normalizes the struct tm before attempting
to determine the correct dst setting if tm_isdst == -1 on entry.
Add a stub version of the libintl functions. (untested)
Fixed a known memory leak in setlocale() related to the collation data.
Add lots of new config options (which Erik agreed to sort out :-),
including finally exposing some of the stripped down stdio configs.
Be careful with those though, as they haven't been tested in a
long time.
(temporary) GOTCHAs...
The ctype functions are currently incorrect for 8-bit locales. They
will be fixed shortly.
The ctype functions are now table-based, resulting in larger staticly
linked binaries. I'll be adding an option to use the old approach
in the stub locale configuration.

been working on a new config system on and off for about 6 months
now, but I've never been fully satisfied. Well, I'm finally am
happy with the new config system, so here it is. This completely
removes the old uClibc configuration system, and replaces it with
an entirely new system based on LinuxKernelConf, from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/
As it turns out, Linus has just merged LinuxKernelConf into Linux
2.5.45, so it looks like I made the right choice.
I have thus far updated only x86. I'll be updating the other
architectures shortly.
