Cosmo's _Cz_crc32() function now goes 73 GiB/s on Threadripper. This
will significantly improve the performance of the PKZIP file format.
This algorithm is also used by apelink, to create deterministic ids.
The normal getopt() function is bloated because it links printf(). This
change exports the original authentic bsd getopt function, that cosmo's
always used internally so cosmocc users don't need to include internals
This change adds a TLS freelist for small dynamic memory allocations.
Cosmopolitan's TIB is now 512 bytes in size. Single-threaded malloc()
performance isn't impacted by this, until pthread_create() is called.
Single-threaded programs may also want to consider using:
#include "libc/mem/tinymalloc.inc"
Which will shave 30k off the executable size and sometimes go faster.
When we removed the com suffix from ape binaries, we broke the build for
ape's python for any case-insensitive file system, i.e. Windows and XNU,
because there is a third_party/python/Python that gets mirrored in the o
directory with the python object files and clashes with the binary name.
This patch hacks around this by renaming the binary to "python3" so that
it no longer clashes with that directory.
At least on macOS, `strlen(getenv("TMPDIR"))` is 50. We now allow a /tmp
that takes up to 120 or so bytes to spell. Instead of overflowing, we do
a bounds check and the function fails successfully on even longer /tmps.
Fixes#1108 (os.tmpname crashes redbean)
I took one canonical IANA zone ID from each of the different colored
regions in this article, except those that do not observe DST and do
not have a Google office. See the "Time in Europe" Wikipedia article.
As to which canonical ID to use, this was somewhat arbitrary. Brussels
was obvious, as the de facto capital of the EU. For the rest, I mostly
just went with lexicographic ordering of the most recognizable options.
I've sorted the American zones. This Keeps the U.S. ones together but
does everything alphabetically otherwise. I've added the remaining
Canadian zones These have DST (and Newfoundland is off by a half-
hour from a UTC interval) so they cannot use Etc/. The Pacific/ zones
are sort of sorted. The Chathan Islands have been added. This is the
last of the zones I believe with a non-integer hour offset from UTC.
Cosmopolitan now supports 104 time zones. They're embedded inside any
binary that links the localtime() function. Doing so adds about 100kb
to the binary size. This change also gets time zones working properly
on Windows for the first time. It's not needed to have /etc/localtime
exist on Windows, since we can get this information from WIN32. We're
also now updated to the latest version of Paul Eggert's TZ library.
Signals are extremely difficult to unit test reliably. This is why
functions like sigsuspend() exist. When testing something else and
portably it becomes impossible without access to kernel internals.
OpenMP flakes in QEMU on one of my workstations. I don't think the
support is production worthy, because there's been issues on MacOS
additionally. It works great for every experiment I've used it for
though. However a flaky test is worse than no test at all. So it's
removed until someone takes an interest in productionizing it.
We have an optimized version of zlib from the Chromium project.
We need it for a lot of our libc services. It would be nice to export
this to user applications if we can, since projects like llamafile are
already depending on it under the private namespace, to avoid
needing to link zlib twice.
__res_send returns the full answer length even if it didn't fit the
buffer, but __dns_parse expects the length of the filled part of the
buffer.
Analogous to Musl commit 77327ed064bd57b0e1865cd0e0364057ff4a53b4 which
fixed the only other __dns_parse call site.
The name resolution would abort when getting more than 63 records per
request, due to what seems to be a left-over from the original code.
This check was non-breaking but spurious prior to TCP fallback
support, since any 512-byte packet with more than 63 records was
necessarily malformed. But now, it wrongly rejects valid results.

mntent: fields are delimited only by tabs or spaces, not general whitespace
this matters because the kernel-provided mtab only escapes tabs,
spaces, newlines, and backslashes. it leaves carriage returns, form
feeds, and vertical tabs literal.

mntent: unescape octal sequences
As entries in mtab are delimited by spaces, whitespace characters
are escaped as octal sequences. When reading them out, we have to
unescape these sequences to get the proper string.
Now that these functions are behind _COSMO_SOURCE there's no reason for
having the ugly underscore anymore. To use these functions, you need to
pass -mcosmo to cosmocc.
The WIN32 CreateProcess() function does not require an .exe or .com
suffix in order to spawn an executable. Now that we have Cosmo bash
we're no longer so dependent on the cmd.exe prompt.
This change upgrades to GCC 12.3 and GNU binutils 2.42. The GNU linker
appears to have changed things so that only a single de-duplicated str
table is present in the binary, and it gets placed wherever the linker
wants, regardless of what the linker script says. To cope with that we
need to stop using .ident to embed licenses. As such, this change does
significant work to revamp how third party licenses are defined in the
codebase, using `.section .notice,"aR",@progbits`.
This new GCC 12.3 toolchain has support for GNU indirect functions. It
lets us support __target_clones__ for the first time. This is used for
optimizing the performance of libc string functions such as strlen and
friends so far on x86, by ensuring AVX systems favor a second codepath
that uses VEX encoding. It shaves some latency off certain operations.
It's a useful feature to have for scientific computing for the reasons
explained by the test/libcxx/openmp_test.cc example which compiles for
fifteen different microarchitectures. Thanks to the upgrades, it's now
also possible to use newer instruction sets, such as AVX512FP16, VNNI.
Cosmo now uses the %gs register on x86 by default for TLS. Doing it is
helpful for any program that links `cosmo_dlopen()`. Such programs had
to recompile their binaries at startup to change the TLS instructions.
That's not great, since it means every page in the executable needs to
be faulted. The work of rewriting TLS-related x86 opcodes, is moved to
fixupobj.com instead. This is great news for MacOS x86 users, since we
previously needed to morph the binary every time for that platform but
now that's no longer necessary. The only platforms where we need fixup
of TLS x86 opcodes at runtime are now Windows, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. On
Windows we morph TLS to point deeper into the TIB, based on a TlsAlloc
assignment, and on OpenBSD/NetBSD we morph %gs back into %fs since the
kernels do not allow us to specify a value for the %gs register.
OpenBSD users are now required to use APE Loader to run Cosmo binaries
and assimilation is no longer possible. OpenBSD kernel needs to change
to allow programs to specify a value for the %gs register, or it needs
to stop marking executable pages loaded by the kernel as mimmutable().
This release fixes __constructor__, .ctor, .init_array, and lastly the
.preinit_array so they behave the exact same way as glibc.
We no longer use hex constants to define math.h symbols like M_PI.

We recently broke MODE=dbg support when we added C++ exception support.
This change adds the missing UBSAN interfaces, needed to get it working
again. Some of the ASAN checking in the SJLJ guts needed to be disabled
since I doubt anyone's combined the two features until now.
If you install qemu-user from apt then glibc links a lot of address
space bloat that causes pthread_create() to ENOMEM (a.k.a. EAGAIN).
Boosting the virtual memory quota from 512m to 2048m will hopefully
future proof the build for the future, as Linux distros get fatter.
Please note this only applies to MODE=aarch64 on x86_64 builds when
you're using QEMU from Debian/Ubuntu rather than installing the one
cosmo provides in third_party/qemu/qemu-aarch64.gz. This change may
also be useful to people who are using the host compiler toolchain.
Added the implementation for `std::bad_any_cast` from upstream
`any.cpp`, and `std::bad_variant_access` from upstream `variant.cpp`.
This fixes missing `vtable` and `typeinfo` symbols when trying to link
code referencing these exception types.
We now store values in jmp_buf where the compiler wants them to be. This
fixes code that calls __builtin_setjmp() and __builtin_longjmp() such as
libunwind. All libcxxabi tests are now passing on ARM64.
See #1076
This test was was failing on GitHub Actions because GA uses Linux and
Linux supports resource usage accounting. Cosmo's compile.com program
imposes CPU, memory and file size limits on both the compiler and the
test programs themselves.
