src/libexec/rtld-aout/shlib.c, branch release/6.2.0

64-bit clean + WARNS=6:

- Convert the (char *) cast+cast backs magic to memcpy(3). Without this, the resulting code is potentially risky with higher optimization levels. - Avoid same name when calling local variables, as well as global symbols. This reduces confusion for both human and compiler. - Add necessary casts, consts - Use new style function defination. - Minor style.Makefile(5) tweak - Bump WARNS?= from 0 to 6 ** for the aout code: changes are intentionally limited to ease maintaince.

Restore these files to make ldconfig(8) happy.

Remove a.out runtime linker. It doesn't build and was removed from the

build over two years ago by peter. The binary a.out version of ld.so can be obtained from misc/compat22 or src/lib/compat/compat22. Discussed on: -arch Voted yes: jhb, ru, linimon, delphij

Initiate deorbit burn for the i386-only a.out related support. Moves are

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond that. Notable exceptions: gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there. ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld. old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports. some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now. Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha

Don't recognize a file as an a.out shared library unless it has at

least 2 version numbers. This fixes the bug where the dynamic linker would try to load an ELF shared library if it found one. Note, this change also fixes the same thing in "ld", because the code is shared. For "ld" there is still a problem with ".a" libraries, which cannot be distinguished by name. I haven't decided what, if anything, to do about that.

Search for libraries in dlopen() when the specified path

contains no ``/''s. Elf already searches it seems. Mostly submitted by: Mike Smith

ELF preparation step 2:

1998-05-26T20:12:56Z

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...

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

1997-01-14T07:20:47Z

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.
