- depends on HAVE_SHARED
- default n
- help
- If you answer Y here, all unresolved functions provided by the libgcc
- library that are used by uClibc will be added directly into the
- uClibc library. If your gcc compiler only provides a static libgcc
- library, then enabling this option can reduce the size of your
- binaries by preventing these functions from being staticly linked
- into every binary. If you have compiled uClibc as PIC code, one
- potential size effect of this option is that you may end up adding
- non-PIC libgcc code into your shared uClibc library, resulting in a
- non shareable text segment (thereby wasting a bunch of ram). If your
- compiler supports a shared libgcc library, you should certainly leave
- this option disabled. Regardless, the safest answer is N.
- config BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO

- help
- uClibc has a native shared library loader for some architectures.

- config FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS
- bool "Only load shared libraries which can share their text segment"
- depends on BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO && UCLIBC_COMPLETELY_PIC && !ADD_LIBGCC_SYMBOLS
- default n
- help
- If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
- only load shared libraries, which do not need to modify any non-writable
- segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic
- section (==> objdump). So all your libraries must be compiled with
- -fPIC or -fpic, and all assembler function must be written as position
- independent code (PIC).
- Enabling this option will makes uClibc's shared library loader a
- little bit smaller and guarantee that no memory will be wasted by badly
- coded shared libraries.
- config LDSO_LDD_SUPPORT
- bool "Native shared library loader 'ldd' support"
- depends on BUILD_UCLIBC_LDSO
- default y
- help
- Enable this to enable all the code needed to support traditional ldd,
- which executes the shared library loader to resolve all dependencies
- and then provide a list of shared libraries that are required for an
- application to function. Disabling this option will makes uClibc's
- shared library loader a little bit smaller. Most people will answer Y.
- config UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR
- bool "Support global constructors and destructors"
- default y
- help
- If you wish to build uClibc with support for global constructor
- (ctor) and global destructor (dtor) support, then answer Y here.
- When ctor/dtor support is enabled, binaries linked with uClibc must
- also be linked with crtbegin.o and crtend.o which are provided by gcc
- (the "*startfile:" and "*endfile:" settings in your gcc specs file
- may need to be adjusted to include these files). This support will
- also add a small amount of additional size to each binary compiled vs
- uClibc. If you will be using uClibc with C++, or if you need the gcc
- __attribute__((constructor)) and __attribute__((destructor)) to work,
- then you definitely want to answer Y here. If you don't need ctors
- or dtors and want your binaries to be as small as possible, then
- answer N.
- config UCLIBC_PROFILING
- bool "Support gprof profiling"
- default y
- help
- If you wish to build uClibc with support for application profiling
- using the gprof tool, then you should enable this feature. Then in
- addition to building uClibc with profiling support, you will also
- need to recompile all your shared libraries with the profiling
- enabled version of uClibc. To add profiling support to your
- applications, you must compile things using the gcc options
- "-fprofile-arcs -pg". Then when you run your applications, a
- gmon.out file will be generated which can then be analyzed by
- 'gprof'.
- These exist a number of less invasive alternatives that do not
- require your to specially instrument your application, and recompile
- and relink everything.
-
- Many people have had good results using the combination of Valgrind
- to generate profiling information and KCachegrind for analysis:
- http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/
- http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/
- The OProfile system-wide profiler is another alternative:
- http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/
- Prospect is another alternative based on OProfile:
- http://prospect.sourceforge.net/
- And the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) is also a fine tool:
- http://www.opersys.com/LTT/
- If none of these tools do what you need, you can of course enable
- this option, rebuild everything, and use 'gprof'. There is both a
- size and performance penelty to profiling your applications this way,
- so most people should answer N.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
- bool "POSIX Threading Support"
- default y
- help
- If you want to compile uClibc with pthread support, then answer Y.
- This will increase the size of uClibc by adding a bunch of locking
- to critical data structures, and adding extra code to ensure that
- functions are properly reentrant.
- If your applications require pthreads, answer Y.
- config PTHREADS_DEBUG_SUPPORT
- bool "Build pthreads debugging support"
- default n
- depends on UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS
- help
- Say Y here if you wish to be able to debug applications that use
- uClibc's pthreads library. By enabling this option, a library
- named libthread_db will be built. This library will be dlopen()'d
- by gdb and will allow gdb to debug the threads in your application.
- IMPORTANT NOTE! Because gdb must dlopen() the libthread_db library,
- you must compile gdb with uClibc in order for pthread debugging to
- work properly.
- If you are doing development and want to debug applications using
- uClibc's pthread library, answer Y. Otherwise, answer N.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_LFS
- bool "Large File Support"
- default y
- help
- If you wish to build uClibc with support for accessing large files
- (i.e. files greater then 2 GiB) then answer Y. Do not enable this
- if you are using an older Linux kernel (2.0.x) that lacks large file
- support. Enabling this option will increase the size of uClibc.

- prompt "Malloc Implementation"
- default MALLOC_930716
- help
- "malloc" use mmap for all allocations and so works very well on MMU-less
- systems that do not support the brk() system call. It is pretty smart
- about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
- "malloc-930716" is derived from libc-5.3.12 and uses the brk() system call
- for all memory allocations. This makes it very fast. It is also pretty
- smart about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory wastage.
- Because this uses brk() it will not work on uClinux MMU-less systems.
- If unsure, answer "malloc".

- endchoice
- config MALLOC_GLIBC_COMPAT
- bool "Malloc returns live pointer for malloc(0)"
- default n
- help
- The behavior of malloc(0) is listed as implementation-defined by
- SuSv3. Glibc returns a valid pointer to something, while uClibc
- normally return a NULL. I personally feel glibc's behavior is
- not particularly safe, and allows buggy applications to hide very
- serious problems.
- When this option is enabled, uClibc will act just like glibc, and
- return a live pointer when someone calls malloc(0). This pointer
- provides a malloc'ed area with a size of 1 byte. This feature is
- mostly useful when dealing with applications using autoconf's broken
- AC_FUNC_MALLOC macro (which redefines malloc as rpl_malloc if it
- does not detect glibc style returning-a-valid-pointer-for-malloc(0)
- behavior). Most people can safely answer N.
- config UCLIBC_DYNAMIC_ATEXIT
- bool "Dynamic atexit() Support"
- default y
- help
- When this option is enabled, uClibc will support an infinite number,
- of atexit() and on_exit() functions, limited only by your available
- memory. This can be important when uClibc is used with C++, since
- global destructors are implemented via atexit(), and it is quite
- possible to exceed the default number when this option is disabled.
- Enabling this option adds a few bytes, and more significantly makes
- atexit and on_exit depend on malloc, which can be bad when compiling
- static executables.
- Unless you use uClibc with C++, you should probably answer N.
- config HAS_SHADOW

- Most people will answer Y.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_REGEX

- help
- POSIX regular expression code is really big -- 27k all by itself.
- If you don't use regular expressions, turn this off and save space.
- Of course, if you only staticly link, leave this on, since it will
- only be included in your apps if you use regular expressions.
- config UNIX98PTY_ONLY

- Enable this if /dev/pts is on a devpts or devfs filesystem. Both
- these filesystems automatically manage permissions on the /dev/pts
- devices. You may need to mount your devpts or devfs filesystem on
- /dev/pts for this to work.
- Most people should answer Y.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_TM_EXTENSIONS
- bool "Support 'struct tm' timezone extension fields"
- default y
- help
- Enabling this option adds fields to 'struct tm' in time.h for
- tracking the number of seconds east of UTC, and an abbreviation for
- the current timezone. These fields are not specified by the SuSv3
- standard, but they are commonly used in both GNU and BSD application
- code.
- To strictly follow the SuSv3 standard, leave this disabled.
- Most people will probably want to answer Y.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_TZ_CACHING
- bool "Enable caching of the last valid timezone 'TZ' string"
- default y
- help
- Answer Y to enable caching of the last valid 'TZ' string describing
- the timezone setting. This allows a quick string compare to avoid
- repeated parsing of unchanged 'TZ' strings when tzset() is called.
- Most people will answer Y.
- config UCLIBC_HAS_TZ_FILE
- bool "Enable '/etc/TZ' file support to set a default timezone (uClibc-specific)"
- default y
- help
- Answer Y to enable the setting of a default timezone for uClibc.
- Ordinarily, uClibc gets the timezone information exclusively from the
- 'TZ' environment variable. In particular, there is no support for
- the zoneinfo directory tree or the /etc/timezone file used by glibc.
- With this option enabled, uClibc will use the value stored in the
- file '/etc/TZ' (default path) to obtain timezone information if the
- 'TZ' environment variable is missing or has an invalid value. The
- file consists of a single line (newline required) of text describing
- the timezone in the format specified for the TZ environment variable.
- Simply doing 'echo CST6CDT > /etc/TZ' is enough to create a valid file.
- See
- http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html

- depends on UCLIBC_HAS_TZ_FILE
- default y
- help
- Answer Y to enable repeated reading of the '/etc/TZ' file even after
- a valid value has been read. This incurs the overhead of an open/read/close
- for each tzset() call (explicit or implied). However, setting this
- will allows applications to update their timezone information if the contents
- of the file change.

- When a file is opened with update mode ('+' as the second or third character
- in the list of mode argument values), both input and output may be performed
- on the associated stream. However, output shall not be directly followed by
- input without an intervening call to the fflush function or to a file

- help
- Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
- native shared library loader. The level of debugging noise that is
- generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable... Just set
- LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,.. prog' to
- debug your application. Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
- the stderr.
- For now these debugging tokens are available:
- detail provide more information for some options
- move display copy processing
- symbols display symbol table processing
- reloc display relocation processing; detail shows the relocation patch
- nofixups never fixes up jump relocations
- bindings displays the resolve processing (function calls); detail shows the relocation patch
- all Enable everything!
- The additional environment variable:
- LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
- redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
- the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
- An excellent start is simply:
- $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
- or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
- $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname
