If your main module has this declaration:
STATIC_YOINK("vga_console");
Then a VGA driver will be linked into your executable which
displays your stdio characters on the PC display, whereas
before we could only use the serial port. Your display is an
ANSI terminal and it's still a work in progress.
We now guarantee TMPDIR will be defined on a per build rule basis. It'll
be an absolute path. It'll be secure and unique. It'll be rm -rf'd after
the last shell script line in your build rule is executed. If $TMPDIR is
already defined, then it'll be created as a subdirectory of your $TMPDIR
and then replace the variable with the new definition. The Landlock Make
repository will be updated with examples shortly after this change which
shall be known as Landlock Make 1.1.1.
See #530
It turned out that specifying all SRCS and INCS as dependencies on the
pattern rules for all headers, caused `make` memory usage to skyrocket
from 40mb ot 160mb. This change also reduces the build graph another 4%.
- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup
There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.
Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx
make -j16 MODE=rel
RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations
pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.
This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too
This change fixes Landlock Make so that only the output target file is
unveiled, rather than unveiling the directory that contains it. This
gives us a much stronger sandbox. It also helped identify problematic
build code in our repo that should have been using o/tmp instead.
Landlock isn't able to let us unveil files that don't exist. Even if
they do, then once a file is deleted, the sandboxing for it goes away.
This caused problems for Landlock Make because tools like GNU LD will
repeatedly delete and recreate the output file. This change uses the
compile.com wrapper to ensure on changes happen to the output inode.
New binary available on https://justine.lol/make/Fixes#528
The whole repository is now buildable with GNU Make Landlock sandboxing.
This proves that no Makefile targets exist which touch files other than
their declared prerequisites. In order to do this, we had to:
1. Stop code morphing GCC output in package.com and instead run a
newly introduced FIXUPOBJ.COM command after GCC invocations.
2. Disable all the crumby Python unit tests that do things like create
files in the current directory, or rename() files between folders.
This ended up being a lot of tests, but most of them are still ok.
3. Introduce an .UNSANDBOXED variable to GNU Make to disable Landlock.
We currently only do this for things like `make tags`.
4. This change deletes some GNU Make code that was preventing the
execve() optimization from working. This means it should no longer
be necessary in most cases for command invocations to be indirected
through the cocmd interpreter.
5. Missing dependencies had to be declared in certain places, in cases
where they couldn't be automatically determined by MKDEPS.COM
6. The libcxx header situation has finally been tamed. One of the
things that makes this difficult is MKDEPS.COM only wants to
consider the first 64kb of a file, in order to go fast. But libcxx
likes to have #include lines buried after huge documentation.
7. An .UNVEIL variable has been introduced to GNU Make just in case
we ever wish to explicitly specify additional things that need to
be whitelisted which aren't strictly prerequisites. This works in
a manner similar to the recently introduced .EXTRA_PREREQS feature.
There's now a new build/bootstrap/make.com prebuilt binary available. It
should no longer be possible to write invalid Makefile code.

This change fixes a regression in unix.connect() caused by the recent
addition of UNIX domain sockets. The BSD finger command has been added
to third_party for fun and profit. A new demo has been added to redbean
showing how a protocol as simple as finger can be implemented.
These releases are really exciting since they contained the patches we
worked to get upstreamed. It means that their /bin/sh interpreters all
work fine with Actually Portable Executable now.
- Fix some minor issues in ar.com
- Have execve() look for `ape` command
- Rewrite NT paths using /c/ rather /??/c:/

- Rewrite $PATH environment variables on startup
- Make $(APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF) the default bootloader
- Add all build command dependencies to build/bootstrap
- Get the repository mostly building from source on non-Linux
These will now be included in the cosmopolitan.a releases. It took a bit
of time because, these functions depend on heavyweight parts of the libc
that wouldn't be appropriate for the core zlib library to depend upon.
Fixes#345
You now have some ability to truly make an executable yours, by adding a
`.args` file to the root of the zip structure. If this is specified,
then you'll be overriding the default CLI args.
This will be a great feature for folks who want to distribute their own
apps, using the interpreter executable, but have the executable appears
to be just your app rather than being the interpreter.

You can now use psapi.dll and pdh.dll. Some TODOs for Windows have been
cleared out. We might have a working load average for the platform that
should help GNU Make work well.
You can now use the hardest fastest and most dangerous language there is
with Cosmopolitan. So far about 75% of LLVM libcxx has been added. A few
breaking changes needed to be made to help this go smoothly.
- Rename nothrow to dontthrow
- Rename nodiscard to dontdiscard
- Add some libm functions, e.g. lgamma, nan, etc.
- Change intmax_t from int128 to int64 like everything else
- Introduce %jjd formatting directive for int128_t
- Introduce strtoi128(), strtou128(), etc.
- Rename bsrmax() to bsr128()
Some of the templates that should be working currently are std::vector,
std::string, std::map, std::set, std::deque, etc.
Continuous Integration (via runit and runitd) is now re-enabled on win7
and win10. The `make test` command, which runs the tests on all systems
is now the fastest and most stable it's been since the project started.
UBSAN is now enabled in MODE=dbg in addition to ASAN. Many instances of
undefined behavior have been removed. Mostly things like passing a NULL
argument to memcpy(), which works fine with Cosmopolitan Libc, but that
doesn't prevents the compiler from being unhappy. There was an issue w/
GNU make where static analysis claims a sprintf() call can overflow. We
also now have nicer looking crash reports on Windows since uname should
now be supported and msys64 addr2line works reliably.

17,000 files into the hard disk cache (see #97)
This commit makes numerous refinements to cosmopolitan memory handling.
The default stack size has been reduced from 2mb to 128kb. A new macro
is now provided so you can easily reconfigure the stack size to be any
value you want. Work around the breaking change by adding to your main:
STATIC_STACK_SIZE(0x00200000); // 2mb stack
If you're not sure how much stack you need, then you can use:
STATIC_YOINK("stack_usage_logging");
After which you can `sort -nr o/$MODE/stack.log`. Based on the unit test
suite, nothing in the Cosmopolitan repository (except for Python) needs
a stack size greater than 30kb. There are also new macros for detecting
the size and address of the stack at runtime, e.g. GetStackAddr(). We
also now support sigaltstack() so if you want to see nice looking crash
reports whenever a stack overflow happens, you can put this in main():
ShowCrashReports();
Under `make MODE=dbg` and `make MODE=asan` the unit testing framework
will now automatically print backtraces of memory allocations when
things like memory leaks happen. Bugs are now fixed in ASAN global
variable overrun detection. The memtrack and asan runtimes also handle
edge cases now. The new tools helped to identify a few memory leaks,
which are fixed by this change.
This change should fix an issue reported in #288 with ARG_MAX limits.
Fixing this doubled the performance of MKDEPS.COM and AR.COM yet again.
