- On Windows connect() can now be interrupted by a signal; connect() w/
O_NONBLOCK will now raise EINPROGRESS; and connect() with SO_SNDTIMEO
will raise ETIMEDOUT after the interval has elapsed.
- We now get the AcceptEx(), ConnectEx(), and TransmitFile() functions
from the WIN32 API the officially blessed way, using WSAIoctl().
- Do nothing on Windows when fsync() is called on a directory handle.
This was raising EACCES earlier becaues GENERIC_WRITE is required on
the handle. It's possible to FlushFileBuffers() a directory handle if
it's opened with write access but MSDN doesn't document what it does.
If you have any idea, please let us know!
- Prefer manual reset event objects for read() and write() on Windows.
- Do some code cleanup on our dlmalloc customizations.
- Fix errno type error in Windows blocking routines.
- Make the futex polyfill simpler and faster.
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.
