v2.0.0

Notice: Applications that were compiled with older version of clib4, need to be recompiled to use the new version without issues

Highlights in this major release

• Memory allocator: overhauled. wmem now supports aligned allocations (e.g., memalign / posix_memalign).
• Pthreads: heavily optimized. Semaphores were replaced with mutexes where appropriate. Thread-local storage (TLS) operations are now much faster thanks to targeted inline assembly.
• I/O: fixes and speedups to stdio/unistd paths; performance now closely matches newlib’s.
• Startup: fixed issues when launching programs from Workbench tooltypes. Note: existing programs may need to be recompiled.
• ctype: fully rewritten; up to ~80% faster.
• Environment: getenv() / setenv() reimplemented for higher performance.
• Misc: numerous additional fixes and improvements.

More details on some changes

• Moved all runtime optimized functions check to library initialization.This will speedup drastically a lot of functions
