# 296915 15-Mar-2016 emaste

libc: don't build compat functions if building WITHOUT_SYMVER

WITHOUT_SYMVER necessarily implies building a system without symver
backwards compatability.

# 262722 04-Mar-2014 marcel

Replace use of ${.CURDIR} by ${LIBC_SRCTOP} and define ${LIBC_SRCTOP}
if not already defined. This allows building libc from outside of
lib/libc using a reach-over makefile.

A typical use-case is to build a standard ILP32 version and a COMPAT32
version in a single iteration by building the COMPAT32 version using a
reach-over makefile.

# 258587 25-Nov-2013 peter

Move the iconv wrapper source from libc_nonshared to libc/iconv so that
it is all in the one place again. Rename libc/iconv/iconv.c to
bsd_iconv.c. Compile the wrappers into libc.a so that WITHOUT_DYNAMICROOT
works again.

# 258283 17-Nov-2013 peter

Attempt to move the POSIX iconv* symbols out of runtime linker space.
FreeBSD systems usually implemented this as a third party module and
our implementation hasn't played as nicely with the old way as it could
have.

To that end:
* Rename the iconv* symbols in libc.so.7 to have a __bsd_ prefix.
* Provide .symver compatability with existing 10.x+ binaries that
referenced the iconv symbols. All existing binaries should work.
* Like on Linux/glibc systems, add a libc_nonshared.a to the ldscript
at /usr/lib/libc.so.
* Move the "iconv*" wrapper symbols to libc_nonshared.a

This should solve the runtime ambiguity about which symbols resolve
to where. If you compile against the iconv in libc, your runtime
dependencies will be unambiguous.

Old 9.x libraries and binaries will always resolve against their
libiconv.so.3 like they did on 9.x. They won't resolve against libc.

Old 10.x binaries will be satisified by the .symver helpers.

This should allow ports to selectively compile against the libiconv
port if needed and it should behave without ambiguity now.

# 219019 25-Feb-2011 gabor

Add the BSD-licensed Citrus iconv to the base system with default off
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.
