The GNU C Library<br>
=================<br>
<br>
The GNU C Library version 2.17 is now available.<br>
<br>
The GNU C Library is used as *the* C library in the GNU systems<br>
and most systems with the Linux kernel.<br>
<br>
The GNU C Library is primarily designed to be a portable<br>
and high performance C library. It follows all relevant<br>
standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008. It is also<br>
internationalized and has one of the most complete<br>
internationalization interfaces known.<br>
<br>
The GNU C Library webpage is at <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/</a><br>
<br>
Packages for the 2.17 release may be downloaded from:<br>

<br>
* Optimization of memcpy for MIPS.<br>
<br>
* CVE-2011-4609 svc_run() produces high cpu usage when accept fails with<br>
EMFILE has been fixed (Bugzilla #14889).<br>
<br>
* The add-on ports collection is now distributed in the "ports" subdirectory<br>
of the main GNU C Library distribution, rather than separately.<br>
<br>
* Port to ARM AArch64 contributed by Linaro.<br>
<br>
* Support for STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols added for s390 and s390x.<br>
Optimized versions of memcpy, memset, and memcmp added for System z10 and<br>
zEnterprise z196.<br>
Implemented by Andreas Krebbel.<br>
<br>
* The new function secure_getenv allows secure access to the environment,<br>
returning NULL if running in a SUID/SGID process. This function replaces<br>
the internal function __secure_getenv.<br>
<br>
* SystemTap static probes have been added into the dynamic linker.<br>
Implemented by Gary Benson.<br>
<br>
* Optimizations of string functions strstr, strcasestr and memmem.<br>
Implemented by Maxim Kuvyrkov.<br>
<br>
* The minimum Linux kernel version that this version of the GNU C Library<br>
can be used with is 2.6.16.<br>
<br>
* Optimizations of string functions memchr, wcschr, wcscpy, and wcsrchr for<br>
powerpc POWER7. Implemented by Will Schmidt.<br>
<br>
* New configure option --disable-nscd builds the C library such that it<br>
never attempts to contact the Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd).<br>
New configure option --disable-build-nscd avoids building nscd itself;<br>
this is the default if --disable-nscd is used.<br>
<br>
* Improved support for cross-compilation, including cross-testing and<br>
bootstrap builds without a previously built glibc.<br>
<br>
* Several testsuite tests are now able to test multiple IFUNC variants of an<br>
interface, rather than just testing the one that would be chooen by<br>
default.<br>
<br>
* New configure options --with-bugurl and --with-pkgversion, for<br>
distributors to use to embed their bug-reporting and package version<br>
information in --help and --version output.<br>
<br>
* The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for<br>
the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available. This<br>
allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc.<br>
<br>
* The `crypt' function now fails if passed salt bytes that violate the<br>
specification for those values. On Linux, the `crypt' function will<br>
consult /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled to determine if "FIPS mode" is<br>
enabled, and fail on encrypted strings using the MD5 or DES algorithm<br>
when the mode is enabled.<br>
<br>
* The `clock_*' suite of functions (declared in <time.h>) is now available<br>
directly in the main C library. Previously it was necessary to link with<br>
-lrt to use these functions. This change has the effect that a<br>
single-threaded program that uses a function such as `clock_gettime' (and<br>
is not linked with -lrt) will no longer implicitly load the pthreads<br>
library at runtime and so will not suffer the overheads associated with<br>
multi-thread support in other code such as the C++ runtime library.<br>
<br>
* New locales: ayc_PE, doi_IN, ia_FR, mni_IN, nhn_MX, niu_NU, niu_NZ,<br>
sat_IN, and szl_PL.<br>
