  Initialised so_far in stdio.c to remove compiler warning.
Admin:
  Built.  strcmptest() still indicates that strcmp() is working OK!

Version 5.32. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_32'

Detail:
  This alternate implementation returned non-zero for equal strings,
    because the tidyup routine failed to stop examining the differing
    words when it found matching zero bytes.
Admin:
  Tested in softload C library, and in Lazarus ROM image.  strcmp()
    appears to be working per spec now.

Version 5.31. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_31'

  Fix for RISC_OSLib res() function.
Detail:
  Version 4.89 featured an improved strcmp() routine that didn't actually
    work properly (bug #4085).  The return values had the wrong sign if this
    optimised code was used and the string contained top-bit set chars.
  Removed that rlib.s.asmdefs hack as the comment in the makefile suggested.
    Nothing needs it any more as the assembler sources that require it now
    get via a -PD argument.
  res_ prefix function was still wrong as it failed to detect valid but wrong
    filenames, hence the "Make$Path not defined" errors in the latest tools
    release.
Admin:
  Fixes Bugzilla bug #4085
  Should fix BaseSW's build problems too.

Version 5.29. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_29'

  Another getenv() bug fixed.
Detail:
  stdio.c contains a vastly improved implementation of fwrite.
  hostsys.h declares _terminate_getenv to remove build warnings.
  armsys.c contains fix to getenv() to stop Omni dying.
Admin:
  Tested on desktop machine for over a week without incident, including
    several heavy fwrite users (WebServe, C compiler)
  fwrite change is documented in Doc/fwrite
  getenv() bug is Bugzilla bug #28

Version 5.27. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_27'

  OS_ReadVarVal.

Detail:
  getenv calls OS_ReadVarVal to read a system variable into a buffer.
  If the buffer is not big enough it increases the size of the buffer by
  256 bytes and tries again.
  However, the first time it was called, it would have no buffer and
  would call OS_ReadVarVal with r2=-1. The PRM says this "may" return an error
  which should be ignored, but if it did not return an error then getenv
  would not allocate a buffer and the call would fail.
  This change allocates a 256 byte buffer before OS_ReadVarVal is called.

Admin:
  Untested.

Version 5.20. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_20'

Version 5.17. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_17'

  Fixed bug in getenv() relating to macro and numeric system variables.
Detail:
  Uses SYMDEFS file to avoid messing around with generating little text
    files, generating assembler source, assembling it etc.  abssym et al
    are construct as symbol definition template files and then updated
    directly by the linker ready for export.  The linker can use these
    files directly without needing them to be assembled into AOF format.
  Fixed getenv so that it can read macro and numeric variables.  With these
    variable types, R2 does not equal -length of the variable value, so
    trying to obtain a variable with a larger value than any previously
    read variable would fail.  This is now fixed.
  This module will refuse to build without link 5.19 or later.
Admin:
  Requires Library 0.54 or later.

  This component will not build with Library 0.53 or earlier.

Version 5.16. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_16'

* Correction to static base location in modulewrap - was affecting some
  DSL 4000 video software.

Version 5.15. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_15'

Detail:
  %#x shows a leading 0x (and %#X leads with 0X) only when the value
    to be displayed is NOT zero.
Admin:
  Cross-verified against: C89 standard; C9X standard; gcc 2.95 implementation.
  Built.

Version 5.14. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_14'

Version 5.06. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_06'

This is the standard RISC OS convention (cf OS_NewLine) - some apps assume
it when redirecting output.

Version 5.02. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-5_02'

Detail:
  Somebody had modified the SWI call to Territory_Collate to be done
    via _swix instead of _kernel_swi, but didn't remove the _kernel_swi_regs
    variable (r) and didn't change the function return value to return the
    new "ret" variable instead of r.r[0] which gives arbitrary results - in
    particular it confuses qsort.
Admin:
  Tested that it builds.

Version 4.97. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_97'

Detail:
  If qsort is passed an invalid base pointer and the number of entries
    is zero, then due to some pointer artihmetic going wrong, it aborts.
    The fix is to trap zero length arrays and exit quickly.
Admin:
  Required by cmhg prior to version 5.20 which had an explicit fix to
    prevent triggering this bug.
  Reportedly this fix is required by PhotoDesk prior to version 3.03.

Version 4.96. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_96'

StrongARMfudge flag removed.
StrongARM compatibility set according to AMBKernel flag in Hdr:RISCOS
strftime %U and %W specifiers fixed for week 0.

Version 4.89. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_89'

Merged Spinner branch changes onto trunk (new RCA messages files and Makefile changes). Convert to srccommit while we're at it.

Removed a few $Revision's to prevent future spurious merge clashes.

Version 4.87. Tagged as 'RISC_OSLib-4_87'

If a module written in C uses function getenv, buffer space
is allocated in the RMA. This buffer was never freed, leading
to RMA leakage when the module was 'RMKill'ed or 'RMReInit'ed.

Changes

 c.armsys
   added function _terminate_getenv to free the buffer

 c.stdlib
   added flag getenv_finalised to the exit_s structure

   initialised getenv_finalised in function _exit_init

   atexit tests getenv_finalised, calls _terminate_getenv

 s.version
   version string changed to 4.86 (27 Jul 1998)
