This change reduces the memory requirements of your APE Loader by 10x,
in terms of virtual memory size, thanks to the help of alloca(). We're
also now creating argument blocks with the same layout across systems.
- Fix mkdeps.com out of memory error
- Remove static memory from __get_cpu_count()
- Add support for passing hyphen to cat in cocmd
- Change more ZipOS errors from ENOTSUP to EROFS
- Specify mem_unit in sysinfo() output on BSD OSes
readdir() will now always yield an inode that's consistent with stat()
on ZipOS and Windows in general. More APIs have been updated to return
the appropriate error code when inappropriately trying to do ops, like
sockets, with a zip file descriptor. The path normalization algorithms
are now fully fleshed out. Some socket APIs have been fixed so they'll
raise EBADF vs. ENOTSOCK appropriately. Lastly seekdir() will now work
properly on NetBSD and FreeBSD (not sure why anyone would even use it)
This change improves the dirstream library in a lot of respects,
especially for /zip/... files. Also turn off MAP_STACK on Aarch64
because Qemu seems to implement it differently than Linux and it's
probably responsible for a lot of mysterious crashes.
You can now play Super Mario Bros in CMD.EXE using Cosmopolitan! This is
thanks to a new worker thread that's spawned on Windows whenever any one
of poll(), select(), or ioctl(FIONREAD) is linked.
We were using a shell heredoc value '@' to terminate the dos stub, but
that's not sufficiently safe. We found out sh doesn't consider control
characters as contributing to the start of a line, and had the unlucky
chance of the linker choosing the number 2624 for e_lfanew, and that's
"@\n" in ASCII, which compromised the APE shell script.
We now use the heredoc 'justineXXXXXX' with 31 bits of entropy, that's
determistically generated by hashing apelink inputs w/ crc32 / blake2b
make all test CC=fatcosmocc AR='fatcosmoar rcu'
This change introduces a program named mktemper.com which provides more
reliable and secure temporary file name generation for scripts. It also
makes our ar.com program more permissive in what commands it'll accept.
The cosmocc command is improved by this change too.
This way complex runtime features (e.g. ftrace, symbol tables) can
always yoink zipos support. This is important now that apelink.com
automates embedding symbol tables for multiple cpus.
This new script is an alternative to the `cosmocc` command. It's still a
work in progress. It abstracts all the gory details of building separate
copies of your executable and then running the apelink.com program.
This test fails if Cosmo builds from a path that contains an uppercase character.
Paths with uppercase characters aren’t so common in server Linux. But they are in *desktop* Linux. Guess how I…?
But I digress.
The real problem is that the path is lowercased on one line, but not the next:
```
self.file_name = support.TESTFN.lower()
self.file_path = FakePath(support.TESTFN)
```
Given that no other test in the suite lowercases `support.TESTFN`, I opted to remove it from the first line rather than adding it to the second.
If you build a static ELF executable in `ld -q` mode (which leaves rela
sections inside the binary) then you can run it through the elf2pe.com
program afterwards, which will turn it into a PE executable. We have a
new trick for defining WIN32 DLL imports in C without any assembly code.
This also achieves the optimally tiny and perfect PE binary structure.
We need this because it isn't possible to have a GNU ld linker script
generate a PE file where the virtual pointer and the file pointer can
drift apart. This post-linker can do that. One cool benefit is we can
now use a smaller 512-byte alignment in the file, and an even bigger
64kb alignment for the segment virtual addresses, and the executable
ends up being smaller.
Another program introduced by this change is pecheck.com which can do
extensive linting of PE static executables to help explain why Windows
won't load it.
- Blocking read operations on the Windows Console can now EINTR
- Blocking read operations on Windows pipes now EINTR more reliably
- setitimer() will no longer be inherited across fork() on Windows
- It's now possible to use ECHO when the console is in raw mode
- The ECHOCTL flag now works correctly on the Windows Console
- The ICRNL flag now works correctly on the Windows Console
- pread() and pwrite() will now raise ESPIPE on Windows
- Opening /dev/tty on Windows is improved (untested)
- Overlapped I/O is now implemented in a better way
