On UNIX if dup2(newfd) was a ZipOS file descriptor, then its resources
weren't being released, and the newly created file descriptor would be
mistaken for ZipOS due to its memory not being cleared. On Windows, an
issue also existed relating to newfd resources not being released.

- Improve security of bind() on Windows w/ SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE
This change also introduces partial faccessat() support for zipos and
makes some slight breaking changes in errno results. close() is fixed
to use `EBADF` rather than `EINVAL` and we're now using `ENOTSUP` not
`EOPNOTSUPP` to indicate that zipos doesn't support a system call yet
- Fix preadv() and pwritev() for old distros
- Introduce _npassert() and _unassert() macros
- Prove that file locks work properly on Windows
- Support fcntl(F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC) on more systems
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.
- Document redbean's argon2 module
- Fix regressions in cthreads library
- Make testlib work better with threads
- Give the cthreads library lots of love
- Remove some of the stdio assembly code
- Implement getloadavg() across platforms
- Code size optimizations for errnos, etc.
- Only check for signals in main thread on Windows
- Make errnos for dup2 / dup3 consistent with posix
This change also fixes a bug in the argon2 module, where the NUL
terminator was being included in the hash encoded ascii string. This
shouldn't require any database migrations to folks who found this module
and productionized it, since the argon2 library treats it as a c string.
- Fix bugs in kDos2Errno definition

- Blinkenlights keyboard i/o so much better on NT w/ poll()
- You can now poll() files and sockets at the same time on NT
- Fix bug in appendr() that manifests with dlmalloc footers off
You can now call functions like fork() from Lua and it'll work across
all supported platforms, including Windows. This gives you a level of
control of the system that Lua traditionally hasn't been able to have
due to its focus on old portable stdio rather modern POSIX APIs. Demo
code has been added to redbean-demo.com to show how it works.
This change also modifies Lua so that integer literals with a leading
zero will be interpreted as octal. That should help avoid shooting in
the foot with POSIX APIs that frequently use octal mode bits.
This change fixes a bug in opendir(".") on New Technology.
Lastly, redbean will now serve crash reports to private network IPs.
This is consistent with other frameworks. However that isn't served
to public IPs unless the -E flag is passed to redbean at startup.
This is similar to the --ftrace (c function call trace) flag, except
it's less noisy since it only logs system calls to stderr. Having this
flag is valuable because (1) system call tracing tells us a lot about
the behavior of complex programs and (2) it's usually very hard to get
system call tracing on various operating systems, e.g. strace, ktrace,
dtruss, truss, nttrace, etc. Especially on Apple platforms where even
with the special boot trick, debuggers still aren't guaranteed to work.
make -j8 o//examples
o//examples/hello.com --strace
This is enabled by default in MODE=, MODE=opt, and MODE=dbg. In MODE=dbg
extra information will be printed.
make -j8 MODE=dbg o/dbg/examples
o/dbg/examples/hello.com --strace |& less
This change also changes:
- Rename IsText() → _istext()
- Rename IsUtf8() → _isutf8()
- Fix madvise() on Windows NT
- Fix empty string case of inet_ntop()
- vfork() wrapper now saves and restores errno
- Update xsigaction() to yoink syscall support
The APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF loader payload has been moved out of the examples
folder and improved so that it works on BSD systems, and permits general
elf program headers. This brings its quality up enough that it should be
acceptable to use by default for many programs, e.g. Python, Lua, SQLite
and Python. It's the responsibility of the user to define an appropriate
TMPDIR if /tmp is considered an adversarial environment. Mac OS shall be
supported by APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF soon.
Fixes and improvements have been made to program_executable_name as it's
now the one true way to get the absolute path of the executing image.
This change fixes a memory leak in linenoise history loading, introduced
by performance optimizations in 51904e2687
This change fixes a longstanding regression with Mach system calls, that
23ae9dfceb back in February which impacted
our sched_yield() implementation, which is why no one noticed until now.
The Blinkenlights PC emulator has been improved. We now fix rendering on
XNU and BSD by not making the assumption that the kernel terminal driver
understands UTF8 since that seems to break its internal modeling of \r\n
which is now being addressed by using \e[𝑦H instead. The paneling is now
more compact in real mode so you won't need to make your font as tiny if
you're only emulating an 8086 program. The CLMUL ISA is now emulated too
This change also makes improvement to time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC now does the
right thing on Windows NT. The nanosecond time module functions added in
Python 3.7 have been backported.
This change doubles the performance of Argon2 password stretching simply
by not using its copy_block and xor_block helper functions, as they were
trivial to inline thus resulting in us needing to iterate over each 1024
byte block four fewer times.
This change makes code size improvements. _PyUnicode_ToNumeric() was 64k
in size and now it's 10k. The CJK codec lookup tables now use lazy delta
zigzag deflate (δzd) encoding which reduces their size from 600k to 200k
plus the code bloat caused by macro abuse in _decimal.c is now addressed
so our fully-loaded statically-linked hermetically-sealed Python virtual
interpreter container is now 9.4 megs in the default build mode and 5.5m
in MODE=tiny which leaves plenty of room for chibicc.
The pydoc web server now accommodates the use case of people who work by
SSH'ing into a different machine w/ python.com -m pydoc -p8080 -h0.0.0.0
Finally Python Capsulae delenda est and won't be supported in the future
This change enables Address Sanitizer systemically w/ `make MODE=dbg`.
Our version of Rust's `unsafe` keyword is named `noasan` which is used
for two functions that do aligned memory chunking, like `strcpy.c` and
we need to fix the tiny DEFLATE code, but that's it everything else is
fabulous you can have all the fischer price security blankets you need
Best of all is we're now able to use the ASAN data in Blinkenlights to
colorize the memory dumps. See the screenshot below of a test program:
https://justine.lol/blinkenlights/asan.png
Which is operating on float arrays stored on the stack, with red areas
indicating poisoned memory, and the green areas indicate valid memory.
