This change fixes a bug where exiting a crash signal handler on Windows
after adding the signal to uc_sigmask, but not correcting the CPU state
would cause the signal handler to loop infinitely, causing process hang
Another issue is that very tiny programs, that don't link posix signals
would not have their SIGILL / SIGSEGV / etc. status reported to Cosmo's
bash shell when terminating on crash. That's fixed by a tiny handler in
WinMain() that knows how to map WIN32 crash codes to the POSIX flavors.
Microsoft caused some very gentle breakages for Cosmopolitan. They
removed the version information from the PEB which caused uname to
report WINDOWS 0.0.0. We should have called GetVersionExW but that
doesn't really exist anymore either. Windows policy is now to give
whatever version we used in ape/ape.S. Windows8 has been EOL since
2023-01-10 so lets avoid our modern executables being relegated to
legacy infrastructure. Requiring Windows 10+ going forward lets us
remove runtime compatibility bloat from the codebase. Further note
Cosmopolitan maintains a Windows Vista branch on GitHub, so anyone
preferring the older versions, can still have a future with Cosmo.
Another neat thing this fixes is UTF-8 support in the console. The
changes Microsoft made broke the if statement that enabled UTF8 in
terminals. This explains why bug reports had broken arrows. In the
future this should be less of an issue, since the PEB code is gone
which means we more strictly conform to only Microsoft's WIN32 API
This change solves the XNU crash loop mystery. Apple's documentation
claims to support this feature, but they only define the constant in
their header files. The kernel acknowledges thi SA_RESETHAND bit, by
clearing it from the sa_flags state, returns zero, and does nothing.
We're now able to pretty print a C++ backtrace upon crashing in pretty
much any runtime execution scenario. The default pledge sandbox policy
on Linux is now to return EPERM. If you call pledge and have debugging
functions linked (e.g. GetSymbolTable) then the symbol table shall get
loaded before any security policy is put in place. This change updates
build/bootstrap/fixupobj too and fixes some other sneaky build errors.
Cosmopolitan now supports 104 time zones. They're embedded inside any
binary that links the localtime() function. Doing so adds about 100kb
to the binary size. This change also gets time zones working properly
on Windows for the first time. It's not needed to have /etc/localtime
exist on Windows, since we can get this information from WIN32. We're
also now updated to the latest version of Paul Eggert's TZ library.
The feenableexcept() and fedisableexcept() APIs are now provided which
let you detect when NaNs appear the moment it happens from anywhere in
your program. Tests have also been added for the mission critical math
functions expf() and erff(), whose perfect operation has been assured.
See examples/trapping.c to see how to use this powerful functionality.
Commit bc6c183 introduced a bunch of discrepancies between what files
look like in the repo and what clang-format says they should look like.
However, there were already a few discrepancies prior to that. Most of
these discrepancies seemed to be unintentional, but a few of them were
load-bearing (e.g., a #include that violated header ordering needing
something to have been #defined by a 'later' #include.)
I opted to take what I hope is a relatively smooth-brained approach: I
reverted the .clang-format change, ran clang-format on the whole repo,
reapplied the .clang-format change, reran clang-format again, and then
reverted the commit that contained the first run. Thus the full effect
of this PR should only be to apply the changed formatting rules to the
repo, and from skimming the results, this seems to be the case.
My work can be checked by applying the short, manual commits, and then
rerunning the command listed in the autogenerated commits (those whose
messages I have prefixed auto:) and seeing if your results agree.
It might be that the other diffs should be fixed at some point but I'm
leaving that aside for now.
fd '\.c(c|pp)?$' --print0| xargs -0 clang-format -i
The `com` parameter to `TryPath` was always 1, so there was no reason to
have it. This patch changes the logic to be as though `com` was 0, which
provides a possible answer to the TODO question -- the answer is no.
If we never care about appending `.com`, then `CopyWithCwd` doesn't need
to return anything beyond a boolean success value.
Now that these functions are behind _COSMO_SOURCE there's no reason for
having the ugly underscore anymore. To use these functions, you need to
pass -mcosmo to cosmocc.
The WIN32 CreateProcess() function does not require an .exe or .com
suffix in order to spawn an executable. Now that we have Cosmo bash
we're no longer so dependent on the cmd.exe prompt.
Multiple projects I care about make the assumption that this isn't a
system call that sleeps for a particular number of nanonseconds, but
rather a function that parks processes on kernel scheduler quantums.
Anyone who wants the old behavior should use cosmo_clock_nanosleep()
This change upgrades to GCC 12.3 and GNU binutils 2.42. The GNU linker
appears to have changed things so that only a single de-duplicated str
table is present in the binary, and it gets placed wherever the linker
wants, regardless of what the linker script says. To cope with that we
need to stop using .ident to embed licenses. As such, this change does
significant work to revamp how third party licenses are defined in the
codebase, using `.section .notice,"aR",@progbits`.
This new GCC 12.3 toolchain has support for GNU indirect functions. It
lets us support __target_clones__ for the first time. This is used for
optimizing the performance of libc string functions such as strlen and
friends so far on x86, by ensuring AVX systems favor a second codepath
that uses VEX encoding. It shaves some latency off certain operations.
It's a useful feature to have for scientific computing for the reasons
explained by the test/libcxx/openmp_test.cc example which compiles for
fifteen different microarchitectures. Thanks to the upgrades, it's now
also possible to use newer instruction sets, such as AVX512FP16, VNNI.
Cosmo now uses the %gs register on x86 by default for TLS. Doing it is
helpful for any program that links `cosmo_dlopen()`. Such programs had
to recompile their binaries at startup to change the TLS instructions.
That's not great, since it means every page in the executable needs to
be faulted. The work of rewriting TLS-related x86 opcodes, is moved to
fixupobj.com instead. This is great news for MacOS x86 users, since we
previously needed to morph the binary every time for that platform but
now that's no longer necessary. The only platforms where we need fixup
of TLS x86 opcodes at runtime are now Windows, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. On
Windows we morph TLS to point deeper into the TIB, based on a TlsAlloc
assignment, and on OpenBSD/NetBSD we morph %gs back into %fs since the
kernels do not allow us to specify a value for the %gs register.
OpenBSD users are now required to use APE Loader to run Cosmo binaries
and assimilation is no longer possible. OpenBSD kernel needs to change
to allow programs to specify a value for the %gs register, or it needs
to stop marking executable pages loaded by the kernel as mimmutable().
This release fixes __constructor__, .ctor, .init_array, and lastly the
.preinit_array so they behave the exact same way as glibc.
We no longer use hex constants to define math.h symbols like M_PI.

This will help C++ code that uses exceptions to be tinier. For example,
this change shaves away 1000 lines of assembly code from LLVM's libcxx,
which is 0.7% of all assembly instructions in the entire library.
Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put
it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't
wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You
now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header
and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function
Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way.
We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be
more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc.
Now we do them for assimilated binaries (except on OpenBSD or XNU
non-Silicon), for XnuSilicon, and for binaries with the preserve-
argv[0] auxv flag set. We check whether to pass the argv[0] value
at the test site rather than the Child site. We move a lot of the
test initialization into Child in the non-child case, in order to
get at the pre-init value of `__program_executable_name`. Finally,
we print out info about what we are skipping.
Now that our socket system call polyfills are good enough to support
Musl's DNS library we should be using that rather than the barebones
domain name system implementation we rolled on our own. There's many
benefits to making this change. So many, that I myself wouldn't feel
qualified to enumerate them all. The Musl DNS code had to be changed
in order to support Windows of course, which looks very solid so far
Missed this when changing the code back to be like the old version.
com is now a parameter.
The only plausible way to trigger this would be to pass a loader
pathname close to MAX_PATH characters long, and then remove that
path prior to the first sys_faccessat.
This implements proposals 1 and 2a from this gist:
https://gist.github.com/mrdomino/2222cab61715fd527e82e036ba4156b1
The only reason to use realpath from the loader was to try to prevent a
TOCTOU between the loader and the binary. But this is only a real issue
in set-id contexts, and in those cases there is already a canonical way
to do it: `/dev/fd`, passed by the kernel to the loader, so all we have
to do is pass that along to the binary.
Aside from realpath, there is no reason to absolutize the path we supply
to the binary, since it can call `getcwd` as well as we can, and on non-
M1 the binary is in a much better position to make that call.
Since we no longer absolutize the path, the binary does need to do this,
so we make its argv-parsing code generic and apply that to the different
possible places the path could come from. This means that `_` is finally
usable as a relative path, as a nice side benefit.
The M1 realpath code had a significant bug - it uses the wrong offset to
truncate the `.ape` in the `$prog.ape` case.
This PR also fixes a regression in `ape $progname` out of `$PATH` on the
two BSDs (Free and Net) that did not implement `RealPath`.
Fixes a regression in GetProgramExecutableName on Linux against old
loaders. In the loader case, /proc/self/exe gives the loader's path.
We tried to detect this by checking for `/usr/bin/ape`. But that is
only one of the possible places the loader could be.
