the efficiency of byte-by-byte read operations on filesystems not already
supported by the block cache (especially NFS).
This should be a welcome change for users booting via PXE, as the loader
now reads its startup files almost instantly, instead of taking tens of
seconds.
identifier to the DHCP server. Now you can check for this string
in your dhcp configuration to decide whether you will hand out a
lease to the client or not.
was not the fault of the module code, nor FICL. The malloc code requires
sbrk() to return addresses that were at least 16 byte aligned. If the
Alpha loader happened to be 8 byte but not 16 byte aligned in length, then
you would get a zfree() panic at startup.
Incidently, this affected the i386 loader as well, and explains why
the static heap changed things and why jlemon had trouble when the bss
was not ending at a multiple of 8 bytes.
My fix is to 16 byte align it on all arches, even though the x86 version
only required 8 byte alignment (struct MemNode is smaller there). We could
page align it if we wanted to be paranoid, but it isn't presently necessary.
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
Fix some ctype problems - isascii() caused a warning if fed an unsigned
char - it's always > 0 and libstand is compiled with -Wall.
Missing prototype/include in printf.c
o use braces to avoid potentially ambiguous else
o don't default to type int (and also remove a useless register
modifier).
o Use parens around assignment values used as truth values.
o Remove unused function.

man page and is used in the code, but unistd.h and stand.h do not
declare it. Incidentally, it prevents me fixing a bug in loader's
code... :-)

Minimal 64-bit gcc integer support for i386. This is kinda nasty, and
should be revisited once we decide whether the bootblocks need
quad arithmetic.

Consider EOF an 'error' for fgetstr if we haven't read anything yet.
You *MUST* recompile and reinstall libstand before rebuilding the bootstrap.
