to Dmitrij Tejblum <dima@tejblum.dnttm.rssi.ru> for pointing out
that it was the optimizer's removal of this code that caused make

completes.
shared library when invoking global constructors and destructors.
For constructors, the object files used to be processed from first
to last; now they're done from last to first. (Destructors are done
in the opposite order, as required by the C++ standard.) This makes
us consistent with standard gcc and egcs compilers. It also
eliminates ordering differences between dynamic and static
executables.
Bump the value of __FreeBSD_version to 400002 to reflect this
change.
C function so the compiler won't try to emit line numbers for it
with "-g", breaking the build. This has the nice side-effect of
making crtbegin.o and crtbeginS.o a little bit smaller.
Remove "-Wno-unused" from the Makefile. Replace it with "__unused"

than ".so". The old extension conflicted with well-established
naming conventions for dynamically loadable modules.
The "clean" targets continue to remove ".so" files too, to deal with
old systems.
the executable file, so it will work for both a.out and ELF format
files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.
Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.
This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.
We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...
Add a bootstrap mode so that non-rtld versions of these objects can
be built when bootstrapping the system with NetBSD tools, headers
and libraries. Once the FreeBSD tools are built, the FreeBSD headers
are installed and *then* these objects can be recompiled with the
rtld references. Phew.
asm code didn't link the way it was supposed to and the calling convention
for the entry "function" turned out to be very different. On alpha
it's a true function, but on i386 it's a fudge. Blech.
So jdp suggested keeping separate sets of source and avoiding lots
of #ifdefs. These files are based on his i386-elf code, with crt1.c
borrowing code from NetBSD's crt0. The copyright reflects that.
Complicating matters, the code turned out to be difficult to bootstrap
build using NetBSD tools. To compile against the FreeBSD rtld header
requires FreeBSD specific headers, but these can't be installed until
the tools are built, and they can't be built without the FreeBSD crt
objects. Anal retentive. So I introduced a HAVE_RTLD #define that isn't
set during the build process until all the tools are built and the
headers installed.
now that has been committed.
The makefile is derived from the i386-elf version, modified to pick
up most of the source (except crt1.c) from i386-elf. With minor changes
to i386-elf/crt1.c, this directory can be combined with i386-elf to
be a single csu/elf directory for all seasons.
the rtld code pending implementation on the alpha.
The csu/i386-elf should be renamed as csu/elf and this directory
trashed. Consider this a temporary implementation.
into libc. This reduces the size of every dynamically linked
executable by 248 bytes, and it reduces the size of static executables
by a lesser amount. It also eliminates some global namespace
pollution.
With this change in place, the source for dlfcn.h should probably
be moved to "/usr/src/include". I'll save that for another day.
Compatibility note: Programs which use dlopen, if compiled on
systems with this change, will not run on systems with a libc from
prior to this change. Very few programs use dlopen, so I think
that is OK.
common. Add one do-nothing element to each set. This ensures that
the linker realizes that they are linker sets rather than simple
commons, and makes it possible to link c++rt0.o into every shared
library regardless of whether it is a C++ library or not. Without
this change, the constructors and destructors in the main program
could be executed multiple times.
This change is going to make it possible to get rid of the
CPLUSPLUSLIB makefile variable once and for all. It is a piece of
the solution to PR gnu/3505 (gcc -shared). Finally, it fixes a
heretofore unreported bug: If CPLUSPLUSLIB was set in a makefile
for a C++ shared library that had no static constructors or
destructors in it, then the main program's constructors and
destructors would be executed multiple times.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Add descriptions of RTLD_LAZY and RTLD_NOW.
Correct the synopsis to agree with the actual function prototypes.
Add clarifications of a few things.
Clean up the wording in a few places.
was apparently overlooked at the time the member was added. Its absence
causes some error messages from the dynamic linker to begin with
"(null):" instead of with the pathname of the dynamic linker as they
should.
I am also adding a work-around to the dynamic linker, to cope with
legacy binaries that were built with older versions of crt0.
just return errors. This removes the need for awful hacks like that in
our build of libtcl which would get link errors when linked static.
John Polstra once mentioned that this was on his "todo" list.
Note that one can use:
cc -Wl,-Bstatic -o foo foo.o
and get an executable that has it's libraries statically linked, but has
a fully functional runtime linker so the executable can call dlopen() and
have it work. (I've tested this)
and forwards compatable with version 3. This is needed to enable storing
a run-time library path in the dynamic linking headers. The crt startup
tries version 4 first, and falls back to version 3, so an executable that
is linked on -current will work with the ld.so on 2.1.x and less.
