Large Files Support for C++ Applications |
 |
libc has
been modified to support large files for C++ applications. C++ applications
can now access files greater than 2 GB. This is done by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
to 64 in 32-bit mode. More details can be found in the external
reference specification white paper for large files, /usr/share/doc/lg_files.txt.
HP CxDL Development Tool Support |
 |
libc support
for HP CxDL Development tool has been included in the setjmp/longjmp()
family of APIs in both 64-bit and 32-bit libc.
libnss_files |
 |
A patch for the NIS files backend library (libnss_files.1)
has been created to increase performance of gethostent() and
related APIs in a kernel threads environment.
libdbm |
 |
A new patch for the dbm libraries (libdbm.1
and libndbm.2)
has been created to increase performance of dbm_nextkey().
Header Files |
 |
Header files ftw.h
and stdio.h were
patched to enable C++ large files support.
In addition, numerous defects were fixed.
