- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup
There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.
Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx
make -j16 MODE=rel
RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations
pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.
This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too
The whole repository is now buildable with GNU Make Landlock sandboxing.
This proves that no Makefile targets exist which touch files other than
their declared prerequisites. In order to do this, we had to:
1. Stop code morphing GCC output in package.com and instead run a
newly introduced FIXUPOBJ.COM command after GCC invocations.
2. Disable all the crumby Python unit tests that do things like create
files in the current directory, or rename() files between folders.
This ended up being a lot of tests, but most of them are still ok.
3. Introduce an .UNSANDBOXED variable to GNU Make to disable Landlock.
We currently only do this for things like `make tags`.
4. This change deletes some GNU Make code that was preventing the
execve() optimization from working. This means it should no longer
be necessary in most cases for command invocations to be indirected
through the cocmd interpreter.
5. Missing dependencies had to be declared in certain places, in cases
where they couldn't be automatically determined by MKDEPS.COM
6. The libcxx header situation has finally been tamed. One of the
things that makes this difficult is MKDEPS.COM only wants to
consider the first 64kb of a file, in order to go fast. But libcxx
likes to have #include lines buried after huge documentation.
7. An .UNVEIL variable has been introduced to GNU Make just in case
we ever wish to explicitly specify additional things that need to
be whitelisted which aren't strictly prerequisites. This works in
a manner similar to the recently introduced .EXTRA_PREREQS feature.
There's now a new build/bootstrap/make.com prebuilt binary available. It
should no longer be possible to write invalid Makefile code.

You can now use the hardest fastest and most dangerous language there is
with Cosmopolitan. So far about 75% of LLVM libcxx has been added. A few
breaking changes needed to be made to help this go smoothly.
- Rename nothrow to dontthrow
- Rename nodiscard to dontdiscard
- Add some libm functions, e.g. lgamma, nan, etc.
- Change intmax_t from int128 to int64 like everything else
- Introduce %jjd formatting directive for int128_t
- Introduce strtoi128(), strtou128(), etc.
- Rename bsrmax() to bsr128()
Some of the templates that should be working currently are std::vector,
std::string, std::map, std::set, std::deque, etc.
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

Your redbean can now interoperate with clients that require TLS crypto.
This is accomplished using a protocol polyglot that lets us distinguish
between HTTP and HTTPS regardless of the port number. Certificates will
be generated automatically, if none are supplied by the user. Footprint
increases by only a few hundred kb so redbean in MODY=tiny is now 1.0mb

- Add chi-square monte-carlo mean correlation tests for getrandom()
- Source entropy on Windows from the proper interface everyone uses
We're continuing to outperform NGINX and other servers on raw message
throughput. Using SSL means that instead of 1,000,000 qps you can get
around 300,000 qps. However redbean isn't as fast as NGINX yet at SSL
handshakes, since redbean can do 2,627 per second and NGINX does 4.3k
Right now, the SSL UX story works best if you give your redbean a key
signing key since that can be easily generated by openssl using a one
liner then redbean will do all the things that are impossibly hard to
do like signing ecdsa and rsa certificates that'll work in chrome. We
should integrate the let's encrypt acme protocol in the future.

New netcat clone in examples/nc.c:
While testing some of the failure conditions for redbean, I noticed that
BusyBox's `nc` command is pretty busted, if you use it as an interactive
tool, rather than having it be part of a pipeline. Unfortunately this'll
only work on UNIX since Windows doesn't let us poll on stdio and sockets
at the same time because I don't think they want tools like this running
on their platform. So if you want forbidden fruit, it's here so enjoy it
- removed unneeded share parameter from pipe on nt
- socktpair(type | SOCK_CLOEXEC) is now polyfilled
- use textwindows for linker micro-optimization
- apologies for auto clang-format diff noise :(
- improve socketpair docstring
See #122
We can put this back the moment someone requests it. Pain-free garbage
collection for the C language is pretty cool. All it does is overwrite
the return address with a trampoline that calls free(). It's not clear
what it should be named if it's made a public API.
This change enables Address Sanitizer systemically w/ `make MODE=dbg`.
Our version of Rust's `unsafe` keyword is named `noasan` which is used
for two functions that do aligned memory chunking, like `strcpy.c` and
we need to fix the tiny DEFLATE code, but that's it everything else is
fabulous you can have all the fischer price security blankets you need
Best of all is we're now able to use the ASAN data in Blinkenlights to
colorize the memory dumps. See the screenshot below of a test program:
https://justine.lol/blinkenlights/asan.png
Which is operating on float arrays stored on the stack, with red areas
indicating poisoned memory, and the green areas indicate valid memory.
For the first time ever, all tests in this codebase now pass, when
run automatically on macos, freebsd, openbsd, rhel5, rhel7, alpine
and windows via the network using the runit and runitd build tools
- Fix vfork exec path etc.
- Add XNU opendir() support
- Add OpenBSD opendir() support
- Add Linux history to syscalls.sh
- Use copy_file_range on FreeBSD 13+

- Fix Windows with greater than 16 FDs
- Fix RUNIT.COM and RUNITD.COM flakiness
- Fix OpenBSD munmap() when files are mapped
- Fix long double so it's actually long on Windows
- Fix OpenBSD truncate() and ftruncate() thunk typo
- Let Windows fcntl() be used on socket files descriptors

This is wonderful. I never could have dreamed it would be possible
to get it working so well on so many platforms with tiny binaries.
Fixes#31Fixes#25Fixes#14
It turned out that the linker was doing the wrong with the amalgamation
library concerning weak stubs. A regression test has been added and new
binaries have been uploaded to https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/
Ideally this should be fixed by building a tool that turns multiple .a
files into a single .a file with deduplication. As a workaround for now
the cosmopolitan.a build is restructured to not include LIBC_STUBS which
meant technical debt needed to be paid off where non-stub interfaces
were moved to LIBC_INTRIN and LIBC_NEXGEN32E.
Thank @PerfectProductions in #31 for the report!
A new rollup tool now exists for flattening out the headers in a way
that works better for our purposes than cpp. A lot of the API clutter
has been removed. APIs that aren't a sure thing in terms of general
recommendation are now marked internal.
There's now a smoke test for the amalgamation archive and gigantic
header file. So we can now guarantee you can use this project on the
easiest difficulty setting without the gigantic repository.
A website is being created, which is currently a work in progress:

I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
