It hasn't been helpful enough to be justify the maintenance burden. What
actually does help is mprotect(), kprintf(), --ftrace and --strace which
can always be counted upon to work correctly. We aren't losing much with
this change. Support for ASAN on AARCH64 was never implemented. Applying
ASAN to the core libc runtimes was disabled many months ago. If there is
some way to have an ASAN runtime for user programs that is less invasive
we can potentially consider reintroducing support. But now is premature.
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.)
- ASAN memory morgue is now lockless
- Make C11 atomics header more portable
- Rewrote pthread keys support to be lockless
- Simplify Python's unicode table unpacking code
- Make crash report write(2) closer to being atomic
- Make it possible to strace/ftrace a single thread
- ASAN now checks nul-terminated strings fast and properly
- Windows fork() now restores TLS memory of calling thread
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.
The greenbean web server now works nearly perfectly on Windows with over
1000 threads. But some synchronization issues still remain which prevent
us from going over nine thousand.
