setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this
knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.
This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:
- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.

pagesize()/pagesizes() after change to use aux vector. Note that
public function getosreldate() is different from libc-internal
__getosreldate() and does not use aux to fetch osreldate value.

currently supporting sparc64. After a `make depend all` there are
three programs; testsoftfloat for testing against the SoftFloat in
src/lib/libc/softfloat for reference purposes, testemufloat for
testing the emulator source in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu and testfloat
for testing with the installed libc. Support for other architectures
can be added as needed.

allows this tool to compile again. Albeit, now to test a new malloc
implementation one has to install the new libc which may have bad
consequences (i.e. if the new malloc implementation were buggy).
Add logic to workaround malloc's current behaviour of returning an
invalid non-NULL pointer for 0 byte allocation requests; this prevents the
tool from coring during the NOPS loop.
Add $FreeBSD$ tags.
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.
This directory is for test programs.
A test program is one that will excercise a particular bit of the system
and try to break it and/or measuring performance on it.
Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file.
