Justine says nay for the time being. Only XNU implements this. It's not
clear what ABI XNU is using but it's obviously not the one in the POSIX
documentation link below. Since all platforms implement vfork, it might
be better to empirically gauge the intersection of consensus which will
have better performance than this interface.

All 196 tests passing on the following systems is confirmed:
- Alpine Linux 5.4.43
- Debian Linux 10 Buster 4.19.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 3.10.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 2.6.18
- XNU 19.6.0
- Windows 7
- Windows 10
- FreeBSD 12.1
- OpenBSD 6.8

My name is Justine Tunney and I approve this release.
I rebooted Windows 7 and noticed that KERNEL32.DLL got relocated.
Microsoft needs to change and embrace the dream that was MULTICS.
Until then we'll need a better way to work around their dominion.
Here's how to build it from source and try it out!
m=tiny
make -j18 MODE=$m o/$m/tool/build/tinyemu.com
make -j18 MODE=$m o/$m/tool/viz/deathstar.com
o/$m/tool/build/tinyemu.com o/$m/tool/viz/deathstar.com
We now pass -Wa,--nocompress-debug-sections to GCC so it won't use ELF
compression, since that causes "unable to initialize decompress status
for section .debug_aranges" when linked with past releases of binutils
Please note: this issue only impacts users who download cosmopolitan.a
from the website. Building from source isn't impacted, since we vendor
GCC 9.2.0 and Binutils 2.32 static binaries in the third_party folder.
Thanks @vshymanskyy for reporting this!
See #32
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 system calls with 7+ arguments
- 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
- Fix Windows fstat() which had an accidental printf statement
- Fix RHEL5 CLOCK_MONOTONIC by not aliasing to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
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
This change unbreaks test/libc/nexgen32e/memeqmask_test.c which appears
to currently be the only reference to this api. It was originally meant
to be used for speeding up terminal video rendering. We might delete it
Fixes#26
This bug impacts folks who purchased Intel chips made in 2011-2012.
We're now using `vxorps` instead of `vpxor` which is great since it
means we do not need to change `X86_HAVE(AVX)` to `X86_HAVE(AVX2)`,
because AVX2 is only available on Haswell and later.
Fixes#16
Windows 7 support is now confirmed to be working. However it comes at
the cost of needing to workaround this tragically oppressive behavior
which is imposed for reasons unknown.
Fixes#19
- Remove XD bit in page tables
- Fix cylinder+head+sector arithmetic
- Implement fstat() for serial file descriptors on metal
Here's how to boot an Actually Portable Executable in QEMU:
make -j12 o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -fda o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
Here's a screenshot of DEATHSTAR.COM booted in QEMU:
https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/cosmo-metal-qemu.png
Thus metal support is in much better shape now, but still incomplete.
Only a few system calls have been polyfilled. To figure out which ones
your program needs, simply boot it in the blinkenlights emulator with a
breakpoint, and press CTRL-C to continue to the system call breakpoint.
If it doesn't break then you should be good. (Note: to emulate normally
you can press 'c' and use CTRL-T and ALT-T to tune the speed.)
m=tiny
make -j12 SILENT=0 MODE=$m \

Thank @Theldus for the bug report that made this change possible.
Fixes#20 which explains this change further.
Multiple users have reported that this test fails, for reasons that
are currently unknown. It's possible that, some type of environment
variable configuration, e.g. PATH, CC, etc. is causing the failure.
Once the root cause is identified and addressed we'll re-enable it.
Anyone who is able to help us do that, please comment on the issue.
A regression occurred where LIBC_ZIPOS support wasn't being properly
linked into Cosmopolitan NESEMU1. Main modules that link zip support
need to have the following declaration to guaranteed zip: polyfills:
STATIC_YOINK("zip_uri_support");
Doing that, means system calls such as open(), mmap(), fstat(), etc.
will do the right thing when encountering zip: prefixed URLs. Please
also note that in the near future we're going to change it to zip://
after more closely examining the relevant URI RFCs.
Fixes#28Closes#29
Thanks @nikhedonia for the report!
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!
This change pays off technical debt with the function -> DLL mappings in
libc/nt/master.sh, which was originally defined based on binary analysis
on Windows 10. It's now been updated so the kernel32/kernelbase/advapi32
imports should be exactly as they are written, on the MSDN documentation
and that wouldn't have been easy without Geoff Chappell's work thank him

In addition to removing the URI downloading support. It was originally
intended to have this command play YouTube videos too but that support
was never completed. Latest release binaries can be obtained via:
wget https://justine.lol/printvideo.com # 284k ape executable
