The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
This change fixes#496 where ASAN spotted a race condition that could
happen in multithreaded programs, with more than OPEN_MAX descriptors
when using ZipOS or Windows NT, which require tracking open file info
and this change fixes that table so it never relocates, thus allowing
us to continue to enjoy the benefits of avoiding locks while reading.
This change tunes the default stack size for the outside world to 8mb
while at the same time, reducing Cosmopolitan's default stack size to
64kb. You can override the stack size using STATIC_STACK_SIZE(). Your
build scripts should point to o//ape/public/ape.lds
This change also fixes the definition of SOMAXCONN and removes AF_RDS
since it's not polyfilled and Python 3.11 complained.
- You can now use _gc(malloc()) in multithreaded programs
- This change fixes a bug where fork() on NT disabled TLS
- Fixed TLS code morphing on XNU/NT, for R8-R15 registers
OpenBSD's qsort() function is more secure than the ones used by
FreeBSD, NetBSD and MacOS. The best part is it goes faster too!
This change also imports the OpenBSD mergesort() and heapsort()
pthread_mutex_lock() now uses a better algorithm which goes much faster
in multithreaded environments that have lock contention. This comes at
the cost of adding some fixed-cost overhead to mutex invocations. That
doesn't matter for Cosmopolitan because our core libraries all encode
locking operations as NOP instructions when in single-threaded mode.
Overhead only applies starting the moment you first call clone().
This change fixes a nasty bug where SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL weren't working
as advertised on BSDs. This change also fixes the tkill() definition on
MacOS so it maps to __pthread_kill().
This change restores the .symtab symbol table files in our flagship
programs (e.g. redbean.com, python.com) needed to show backtraces. This
also rolls back earlier changes to zip.com w.r.t. temp directories since
the right way to do it turned out to be the -b DIR flag.
This change also improves the performance of zip.com. It turned out
mmap() wasn't being used, because zip.com was assuming a 4096-byte
granularity, but cosmo requires 65536. There was also a chance to speed
up stdio scanning using the unlocked functions.
fgets() is now 4x faster which makes Make 2% faster. Landlock Make now
has a builtin $(uniq ...) function that uses critbit trees rather than
functional programming. Since uniq is the most important function this
optimization makes our cold start latency 15% faster.
