- Fix handling of precision in hex float formatting
- Enhance the cocmd interpreter for system() and popen()
- Manually ran the Lua unit tests, which are now passing
- Let stdio i/o operations happen when file is in error state
- We're now saving and restoring xmm in ftrace out of paranoia
This change fixes stderr to be unbuffered. Added hardware AES on ARM64
to help safeguard against timing attacks. The curl.com command will be
somewhat more pleasant to use.
The *NSYNC linked list API is good enough that it deserves to be part of
the C libray, so this change writes an improved version of it which uses
that offsetof() trick from the Linux Kernel. We vendor all of the *NSYNC
tests in third_party which helped confirm the needed refactoring is safe
This change also deletes more old code that didn't pan out. My goal here
is to work towards a vision where the Cosmopolitan core libraries become
less experimental and more focused on curation. This better reflects the
current level of quality we've managed to achieve.
- Found some bugs in LLVM compiler-rt library
- The useless LIBC_STUBS package is now deleted
- Improve the overflow checking story even further
- Get chibicc tests working in MODE=dbg mode again
- The libc/isystem/ headers now have correctly named guards
Since 8ff48201ca we no longer need the
hack where, when running .com.dbg files, we scanned for the embedded
.com file offset, and then computed zip offsets realtive to that. It
wasn't very reliable in the first place, and was causing issues with
running our new .com.dbg executables, which are true zip files.
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.
This change takes an entirely new approach to the incremental linking of
pkzip executables. The assets created by zipobj.com are now treated like
debug data. After a .com.dbg is compiled, fixupobj.com should be run, so
it can apply fixups to the offsets and move the zip directory to the end
of the file. Since debug data doesn't get objcopy'd, a new tool has been
introduced called zipcopy.com which should be run after objcopy whenever
a .com file is created. This is all automated by the `cosmocc` toolchain
which is rapidly becoming the new recommended approach.
This change also introduces the new C23 checked arithmetic macros.
This change improves the way internal APIs are being hidden behind the
`COSMO` define. The cosmo.h header will take care of defining that, so
that a separate define statement isn't needed. This change also does a
lot more to define which APIs are standard, and which belong to Cosmo.
This change integrates e58abc1110b335a3341e8ad5821ad8e3880d9bb2 from
https://github.com/ahgamut/musl-cross-make/ which fixes the issues we
were having with our C language extension for symbolic constants. This
change also performs some code cleanup and bug fixes to getaddrinfo().
It's now possible to compile projects like ncurses, readline and python
without needing to patch anything upstream, except maybe a line or two.
Pretty soon it should be possible to build a Linux distro on Cosmo.
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
- Get mprotect_test working on aarch64
- Get completion working on python.com repl again
- Improve quality of printvideo.com and printimage.com
- Fix bug in openpty() so examples/script.c works again
This change greatly reduces the number of modules that need to be
compiled. The only issue right now is that sometimes when viewing
symbol table entries, the aliased symbol is chosen.
This change implements a new approach to function call logging, that's
based on the GCC flag: -fpatchable-function-entry. Read the commentary
in build/config.mk to learn how it works.
There's a new program named ape/ape-m1.c which will be used to build an
embeddable binary that can load ape and elf executables. The support is
mostly working so far, but still chasing down ABI issues.
- Perform some housekeeping on scalar math function code
- Import ARM's Optimized Routines for SIMD string processing
- Upgrade to latest Chromium zlib and enable more SIMD optimizations
- Utilities like pledge.com now build
- kprintf() will no longer balk at 48-bit addresses
- There's a new aarch64-dbg build mode that should work
- gc() and defer() are mostly pacified; avoid using them on aarch64
- THIRD_PART_STB now has Arm Neon intrinsics for fast image handling
It's now possible to run commands like:
make -j8 m=aarch64 o/aarch64/test/libc/str
Which will cross-compile and run the test suites in a qemu-aarch64
binary that's vendored in the third_party/qemu/ folder within your
x86_64 build environment.
The C standard states:
> Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the functions described in this
> subclause order two wide characters the same way as two integers of
> the underlying integer type designated by wchar_t.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcscmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the wide string pointed to by s1 is
> greater than, equal to, or less than the wide string pointed to by
> s2.
>
> [...]
>
> The wcsncmp function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or
> less than zero, accordingly as the possibly null-terminated array
> pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
> possibly null-terminated array pointed to by s2.
- C Standard, 7.31.4.4. Wide string comparison functions
Cosmopolitan fails to obey this in cases where the difference between
two wide characters is larger than WCHAR_MAX.
This means that, for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main()
{
wchar_t str1[] = { WCHAR_MIN, L'\0' };
wchar_t str2[] = { WCHAR_MAX, L'\0' };
printf("%d\n", wcscmp(str1, str2));
printf("%d\n", wcsncmp(str1, str2, 2));
}
will print `1` twice, instead of the negative numbers mandated by the
standard (as WCHAR_MIN is less than WCHAR_MAX)
This patch fixes this, along with the associated Github issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/783
- Exhaustively document cancellation points

- Add ProgramTokenBucket(), AcquireToken(), and CountTokens() APIs to redbean
If threads are being used, then fork() will now acquire and release and
runtime locks so that fork() may be safely used from threads. This also
makes vfork() thread safe, because pthread mutexes will do nothing when
the process is a child of vfork(). More torture tests have been written
to confirm this all works like a charm. Additionally:
- Invent hexpcpy() api
- Rename nsync_malloc_() to kmalloc()
- Complete posix named semaphore implementation
- Make pthread_create() asynchronous signal safe
- Add rm, rmdir, and touch to command interpreter builtins
- Invent sigisprecious() and modify sigset functions to use it
- Add unit tests for posix_spawn() attributes and fix its bugs
One unresolved problem is the reclaiming of *NSYNC waiter memory in the
forked child processes, within apps which have threads waiting on locks
The cosmopolitan command interpreter now has 13 builtin commands,
variable support, support for ; / && / || syntax, asynchronous support,
and plenty of unit tests with bug fixes.
This change fixes a bug in posix_spawn() with null envp arg. strace
logging now uses atomic writes for scatter functions. Breaking change
renaming GetCpuCount() to _getcpucount(). TurfWar is now updated to use
the new token bucket algorithm. WIN32 affinity masks now inherit across
fork() and execve().
This change addresses various open source compatibility issues, so that
we pass 313/411 of the tests in https://github.com/jart/libc-test where
earlier today we were passing about 30/411 of them, due to header toil.
Please note that Glibc only passes 341/411 so 313 today is pretty good!
- Make the conformance of libc/isystem/ headers nearly perfect
- Import more of the remaining math library routines from Musl
- Fix inconsistencies with type signatures of calls like umask
- Write tests for getpriority/setpriority which work great now
- conform to `struct sockaddr *` on remaining socket functions
- Import a bunch of uninteresting stdlib functions e.g. rand48
- Introduce readdir_r, scandir, pthread_kill, sigsetjmp, etc..
Follow the instructions in our `tool/scripts/cosmocc` toolchain to run
these tests yourself. You use `make CC=cosmocc` on the test repository
This change upgrades to the latest Chromium Zlib, fixes bugs in redbean,
and introduces better support for reverse proxies like Cloudflare. This
change improves the security of redbean and it's recommended that users
upgrade to the release that'll follow. This change also updates the docs
to clarify how to use the security tools redbean provides e.g. pledge(),
unveil(), and the MODE=asan builds which improve memory safety.
