Libraries

library/alloca.gz (91/10/12)

Mike Ditto's asm version of the alloca() C routine (useful when compiling GNU software).

library/bsd.o.tar.gz (93/12/09)

These are the .o files for regex, alloca, and xmalloc . These routines are sometimes used in various programs that are gotten off the net. I have these files included in my /lib/libc.a file. Packaged by Kevin Colagio.

library/dbz1.9.cpio.gz (91/10/12)

DBM code tuned for use with the B/C usenet news packages.

library/dirent.cpio.gz (91/10/12)

Most recent version of Doug Gwyn's dirent directory-access library.

library/libbsd.a.gz (92/07/26)

A compiled copy of the BSD support library that was posted to comp.sources.3b1.

library/libm.tar.gz (93/3/17)

Source for a math library. This is particularly useful if you're building your own development environment since the math library is not included in the distribution shared library.

library/limits.h (91/10/12)

ANSI-compatible limits.h file for /usr/include.

library/longmath.sh.gz (91/10/12)

Some assembly-language routines for long multiply/divide. Apparently these correct some bugs in the long math routines supplied in the standard library.

library/malloc.tar.gz (93/02/15)

A malloc library. I don't know of any reason why you need this over the one in the standard library. I include it just because I was using it for a while.

library/posix.cpio.gz (91/10/12)

Library of POSIX-compatible C routines. NB: this archive contains an old version of Doug Gwyn's dirent routines. The dirent.cpio.gz archive contains the most recent version.

library/shlib.sh.gz (91/10/12)

Alex Crain gave us the ability to added object modules to the system shared library (/lib/shlib). Using this one could add the Doug Gwyn dirent object files to /lib/shlib (if those are used frequently in your software). This includes the patch to shlib.ifile that was posted several weeks later.

library/xrand.shar.gz (93/02/26)

Source for the xrand library of random number generations functions. For those who can never get enough randomness.
