At least in neovim, `│vi:` is not recognized as a modeline because it
has no preceding whitespace. After fixing this, opening a file yields
an error because `net` is not an option. (`noet`, however, is.)
- We now serialize the file descriptor table when spawning / executing
processes on Windows. This means you can now inherit more stuff than
just standard i/o. It's needed by bash, which duplicates the console
to file descriptor #255. We also now do a better job serializing the
environment variables, so you're less likely to encounter E2BIG when
using your bash shell. We also no longer coerce environ to uppercase
- execve() on Windows now remotely controls its parent process to make
them spawn a replacement for itself. Then it'll be able to terminate
immediately once the spawn succeeds, without having to linger around
for the lifetime as a shell process for proxying the exit code. When
process worker thread running in the parent sees the child die, it's
given a handle to the new child, to replace it in the process table.
- execve() and posix_spawn() on Windows will now provide CreateProcess
an explicit handle list. This allows us to remove handle locks which
enables better fork/spawn concurrency, with seriously correct thread
safety. Other codebases like Go use the same technique. On the other
hand fork() still favors the conventional WIN32 inheritence approach
which can be a little bit messy, but is *controlled* by guaranteeing
perfectly clean slates at both the spawning and execution boundaries
- sigset_t is now 64 bits. Having it be 128 bits was a mistake because
there's no reason to use that and it's only supported by FreeBSD. By
using the system word size, signal mask manipulation on Windows goes
very fast. Furthermore @asyncsignalsafe funcs have been rewritten on
Windows to take advantage of signal masking, now that it's much more
pleasant to use.
- All the overlapped i/o code on Windows has been rewritten for pretty
good signal and cancelation safety. We're now able to ensure overlap
data structures are cleaned up so long as you don't longjmp() out of
out of a signal handler that interrupted an i/o operation. Latencies
are also improved thanks to the removal of lots of "busy wait" code.
Waits should be optimal for everything except poll(), which shall be
the last and final demon we slay in the win32 i/o horror show.
- getrusage() on Windows is now able to report RUSAGE_CHILDREN as well
as RUSAGE_SELF, thanks to aggregation in the process manager thread.
This change fixes an issue with the tcflow() magic numbers that was
causing bash to freeze up on Linux. While auditing termios polyfills,
several other issues were identified with XNU/BSD compatibility.
Out of an abundance of caution this change undefines as much surface
area from libc/calls/struct/termios.h as possible, so that autoconf
scripts are less likely to detect non-POSIX teletypewriter APIs that
haven't been polyfilled by Cosmopolitan.
This is a *breaking change* for your static archives in /opt/cosmos if
you use the cosmocc toolchain. That's because this change disables the
ioctl() undiamonding trick for code outside the monorepo, specifically
because it'll lead to brittle ABI breakages like this. If you're using
the cosmocc toolchain, you'll need to rebuild libraries like ncurses,
readline, etc. Yes diamonds cause bloat. To work around that, consider
using tcgetwinsize() instead of ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) since it'll help you
avoid pulling every single ioctl-related polyfill into the linkage.
The cosmocc script was specifying -DNDEBUG for some reason. It's fixed.
In order to improve our chances of success building other open source
projects we shouldn't define APIs that'll lead any ./configure script
astray. For example:
- brk() and sbrk() can break mac/windows support
- syscall() is a superb way to break portability
- arch_prctl() is the greatest of all horror shows
Garbage collection will now happen on arm64 when a function returns,
rather than kicking the can down the road to when the process exits.
This change also does some code cleanup and incorporates suggestions
- 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 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.
