- Exhaustively document cancellation points
- Rename SIGCANCEL to SIGTHR just like BSDs
- Further improve POSIX thread cancellations
- Ensure asynchronous cancellations work correctly
- Elevate the quality of getrandom() and getentropy()
- Make futexes cancel correctly on OpenBSD 6.x and 7.x
- Add reboot.com and shutdown.com to examples directory
- Remove underscore prefix from awesome timespec_*() APIs
- Create assertions that help verify our cancellation points
- Remove bad timespec APIs (cmp generalizes eq/ne/gt/gte/lt/lte)
This change makes some miracle modifications to the System Five system
call support, which lets us have safe, correct, and atomic handling of
thread cancellations. It all turned out to be cheaper than anticipated
because it wasn't necessary to modify the system call veneers. We were
able to encode the cancellability of each system call into the magnums
found in libc/sysv/syscalls.sh. Since cancellations are so waq, we are
also supporting a lovely Musl Libc mask feature for raising ECANCELED.
- SQLite file locking now works on Windows
- SQLite will now use fdatasync() on non-Apple platforms
- Fix Ctrl-C handler on Windows to not crash with TLS
- Signals now work in multithreaded apps on Windows
- fcntl() will now accurately report EINVAL errors
- fcntl() now has excellent --strace logging
- Token bucket replenish now go 100x faster
- *NSYNC cancellations now work on Windows
- Support closefrom() on NetBSD
This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.
- add vdso dump utility
- tests now log stack usage
- rename g_ftrace to __ftrace
- make internal spinlocks go faster
- add conformant c11 atomics library
- function tracing now logs stack usage
- make function call tracing thread safe
- add -X unsecure (no ssl) mode to redbean
- munmap() has more consistent behavior now
- pacify fsync() calls on python unit tests
- make --strace flag work better in redbean
- start minimizing and documenting compiler flags
This is similar to the --ftrace (c function call trace) flag, except
it's less noisy since it only logs system calls to stderr. Having this
flag is valuable because (1) system call tracing tells us a lot about
the behavior of complex programs and (2) it's usually very hard to get
system call tracing on various operating systems, e.g. strace, ktrace,
dtruss, truss, nttrace, etc. Especially on Apple platforms where even
with the special boot trick, debuggers still aren't guaranteed to work.
make -j8 o//examples
o//examples/hello.com --strace
This is enabled by default in MODE=, MODE=opt, and MODE=dbg. In MODE=dbg
extra information will be printed.
make -j8 MODE=dbg o/dbg/examples
o/dbg/examples/hello.com --strace |& less
This change also changes:
- Rename IsText() → _istext()
- Rename IsUtf8() → _isutf8()
- Fix madvise() on Windows NT
- Fix empty string case of inet_ntop()
- vfork() wrapper now saves and restores errno
- Update xsigaction() to yoink syscall support
