Cosmo now has a non-nsync implementation of POSIX read-write locks. It's
possible to call pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared in PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
mode. Furthermore, if cosmo is built with PTHREAD_USE_NSYNC set to zero,
then Cosmo shouldn't use nsync at all. That's helpful if you want to not
link any Apache 2.0 licensed code.
American Fuzzy Lop didn't need to try very hard, to crash our privileged
__demangle() implementation. This change helps ensure our barebones impl
will fail rather than crash when given adversarial input data.
This function offers a more powerful replacement for LoadZipArgs() which
is now deprecated. By writing your C programs as follows:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
argc = cosmo_args("/zip/.args", &argv);
// ...
}
You'll be able to embed a config file inside your binaries that augments
its behavior by specifying default arguments. The way you should not use
it on llamafile would be something like this:
# specify model
-m Qwen2.5-Coder-34B-Instruct.Q6_K.gguf
# prevent settings below from being changed
...
# specify system prompt
--system-prompt "\
you are a woke ai assistant\n
you can use the following tools:\n
- shell: run bash code
- search: ask google for help
- report: you see something say something"
# hide system prompt in user interface
--no-display-prompt
On Windows, sometimes fork() could crash with message likes:
fork() ViewOrDie(170000) failed with win32 error 487
This is due to a bug in our file descriptor inheritance. We have cursors
which are shared between processes. They let us track the file positions
of read() and write() operations. At startup they were being mmap()ed to
memory addresses that were assigned by WIN32. That's bad because Windows
likes to give us memory addresses beneath the program image in the first
4mb range that are likely to conflict with other assignments. That ended
up causing problems because fork() needs to be able to assume that a map
will be possible to resurrect at the same address. But for one reason or
another, Windows libraries we don't control could sneak allocations into
the memory space that overlap with these mappings. This change solves it
by choosing a random memory address instead when mapping cursor objects.
When programs like ar.ape and compile.ape are run on eCryptFs partitions
on Linux, copy_file_range() will fail with EINVAL which is wrong because
eCryptFs which doesn't support this system call, should raise EOPNOTSUPP

The (uppercase) B conversion specifier is specified by the C standard to
have the same behavior as the (lowercase) b conversion specifier, except
that whenever the # flag is used, the (uppercase) B conversion specifier
alters a nonzero result by prefixing it with "0B", instead of with "0b".
This commit adds this conversion specifier alongside a few tests for it.
We were too zealous about security before by only setting the owner bits
and that would cause issues for projects like redbean that check "other"
bits to determine if it's safe to serve a file. Since that doesn't exist
on Windows, it's better to have things work than not work. So what we'll
do instead is return modes like 0664 for files and 0775 for directories.
This change gets rsync working without any warning or errors. On Windows
we now create a bunch of C:\var\sig\x\y.pid shared memory files, so sigs
can be delivered between processes. WinMain() creates this file when the
process starts. If the program links signaling system calls then we make
a thread at startup too, which allows asynchronous delivery each quantum
and cancelation points can spot these signals potentially faster on wait
See #1240
This change along with a patch for rsync's safe_write() function that'll
that'll soon be added to superconfigure, gets rsync working. There's one
remaining issue (which isn't a blocker) which is how rsync logs an error
about abnormal process termination since there's currently no way for us
to send non-fatal signals between processes. rsync in cosmos is restored
Fixes#1240
