This change introduces a `-W /dev/pts/1` flag to redbean. What it does
is use the mincore() system call to create a dual-screen terminal
display that lets you troubleshoot the virtual address space. This is
useful since page faults are an important thing to consider when using a
forking web server. Now we have a colorful visualization of which pages
are going to fault and which ones are resident in memory.
The memory monitor, if enabled, spawns as a thread that just outputs
ANSI codes to the second terminal in a loop. In order to make this
happen using the new clone() polyfill, stdio is now thread safe.
This change also introduces some new demo pages to redbean. It also
polishes the demos we already have, to look a bit nicer and more
presentable for the upcoming release, with better explanations too.
Status lines for Emacs and Vim have been added to Python sources so
they'll be easier to edit using Python's preferred coding style.
Some DNS helper functions have been broken up into multiple files. It's
nice to have one function per file whenever possible, since that way we
don't need -ffunction-sections. Another reason it's good to have small
source files, is because the build will be enforcing resource limits on
compilation and testing soon.
This change gets the Python codebase into a state where it conforms to
the conventions of this codebase. It's now possible to include headers
from Python, without worrying about ordering. Python has traditionally
solved that problem by "diamonding" everything in Python.h, but that's
problematic since it means any change to any Python header invalidates
all the build artifacts. Lastly it makes tooling not work. Since it is
hard to explain to Emacs when I press C-c C-h to add an import line it
shouldn't add the header that actually defines the symbol, and instead
do follow the nonstandard Python convention.
Progress has been made on letting Python load source code from the zip
executable structure via the standard C library APIs. System calss now
recognizes zip!FILENAME alternative URIs as equivalent to zip:FILENAME
since Python uses colon as its delimiter.
Some progress has been made on embedding the notice license terms into
the Python object code. This is easier said than done since Python has
an extremely complicated ownership story.
- Some termios APIs have been added
- Implement rewinddir() dirstream API
- GetCpuCount() API added to Cosmopolitan Libc
- More bugs in Cosmopolitan Libc have been fixed
- zipobj.com now has flags for mangling the path
- Fixed bug a priori with sendfile() on certain BSDs
- Polyfill F_DUPFD and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC across platforms
- FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX now polyfilled for fast O_CLOEXEC changes
- APE now supports a hybrid solution to no-self-modify for builds
- Many BSD-only magnums added, e.g. O_SEARCH, O_SHLOCK, SF_NODISKIO
Building o//third_party/python now takes 5 seconds on my PC
This change works towards modifying Python to use runtime dispatching
when appropriate. For example, when loading the magnums in the socket
module, it's a good idea to check if the magnum is zero, because that
means the local system platform doesn't support it.
Modules/Setup and Modules/Setup.local contain the build recipes for
various extensions, wrote a custom script to translate them for
python.mk. Modules/config.c needs to be changed if any extensions are
removed or added.
Most of the source modifications are for missing headers or compile time
build vars like ABIFLAGS.
Created separate mk files for the C extensions and the Python stdlib.
Can use find for adding the python files to the APE ZIP store, but right
now necessary files are just hardcoded.
python.com loads but some build configs are still missing (showing 1 Jan
1970 as time of compilation).
