- C Standard, 7.31.4.4. Wide string comparison functions
Cosmopolitan fails to obey this in cases where the difference between
two wide characters is larger than WCHAR_MAX.
This means that, for example, the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main()
{
wchar_t str1[] = { WCHAR_MIN, L'\0' };
wchar_t str2[] = { WCHAR_MAX, L'\0' };
printf("%d\n", wcscmp(str1, str2));
printf("%d\n", wcsncmp(str1, str2, 2));
}
will print `1` twice, instead of the negative numbers mandated by the
standard (as WCHAR_MIN is less than WCHAR_MAX)
This patch fixes this, along with the associated Github issue,
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/783
- Exhaustively document cancellation points
- Rename SIGCANCEL to SIGTHR just like BSDs
- Further improve POSIX thread cancellations
- Ensure asynchronous cancellations work correctly
- Elevate the quality of getrandom() and getentropy()
- Make futexes cancel correctly on OpenBSD 6.x and 7.x
- Add reboot.com and shutdown.com to examples directory
- Remove underscore prefix from awesome timespec_*() APIs
- Create assertions that help verify our cancellation points
- Remove bad timespec APIs (cmp generalizes eq/ne/gt/gte/lt/lte)
- Invent iso8601us() for faster timestamps
- Improve --strace descriptions of sigset_t
- Rebuild the Landlock Make bootstrap binary
- Introduce MODE=sysv for non-Windows builds
- Permit OFD fcntl() locks under pledge(flock)
- redbean can now protect your kernel from ddos
- Have vfork() fallback to sys_fork() not fork()
- Change kmalloc() to not die when out of memory
- Improve documentation for some termios functions
- Rewrite putenv() and friends to conform to POSIX
- Fix linenoise + strace verbosity issue on Windows

- Invent blackhole daemon for firewalling IP addresses via UNIX named socket
- Add ProgramTokenBucket(), AcquireToken(), and CountTokens() APIs to redbean
If threads are being used, then fork() will now acquire and release and
runtime locks so that fork() may be safely used from threads. This also
makes vfork() thread safe, because pthread mutexes will do nothing when
the process is a child of vfork(). More torture tests have been written
to confirm this all works like a charm. Additionally:
- Invent hexpcpy() api
- Rename nsync_malloc_() to kmalloc()
- Complete posix named semaphore implementation
- Make pthread_create() asynchronous signal safe
- Add rm, rmdir, and touch to command interpreter builtins
- Invent sigisprecious() and modify sigset functions to use it
- Add unit tests for posix_spawn() attributes and fix its bugs
One unresolved problem is the reclaiming of *NSYNC waiter memory in the
forked child processes, within apps which have threads waiting on locks
The cosmopolitan command interpreter now has 13 builtin commands,
variable support, support for ; / && / || syntax, asynchronous support,
and plenty of unit tests with bug fixes.
This change fixes a bug in posix_spawn() with null envp arg. strace
logging now uses atomic writes for scatter functions. Breaking change
renaming GetCpuCount() to _getcpucount(). TurfWar is now updated to use
the new token bucket algorithm. WIN32 affinity masks now inherit across
fork() and execve().
This change addresses various open source compatibility issues, so that
we pass 313/411 of the tests in https://github.com/jart/libc-test where
earlier today we were passing about 30/411 of them, due to header toil.
Please note that Glibc only passes 341/411 so 313 today is pretty good!
- Make the conformance of libc/isystem/ headers nearly perfect
- Import more of the remaining math library routines from Musl
- Fix inconsistencies with type signatures of calls like umask
- Write tests for getpriority/setpriority which work great now
- conform to `struct sockaddr *` on remaining socket functions
- Import a bunch of uninteresting stdlib functions e.g. rand48
- Introduce readdir_r, scandir, pthread_kill, sigsetjmp, etc..
Follow the instructions in our `tool/scripts/cosmocc` toolchain to run
these tests yourself. You use `make CC=cosmocc` on the test repository
This change upgrades to the latest Chromium Zlib, fixes bugs in redbean,
and introduces better support for reverse proxies like Cloudflare. This
change improves the security of redbean and it's recommended that users
upgrade to the release that'll follow. This change also updates the docs
to clarify how to use the security tools redbean provides e.g. pledge(),
unveil(), and the MODE=asan builds which improve memory safety.
- 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.
The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
OpenBSD's qsort() function is more secure than the ones used by
FreeBSD, NetBSD and MacOS. The best part is it goes faster too!
This change also imports the OpenBSD mergesort() and heapsort()
We now guarantee TMPDIR will be defined on a per build rule basis. It'll
be an absolute path. It'll be secure and unique. It'll be rm -rf'd after
the last shell script line in your build rule is executed. If $TMPDIR is
already defined, then it'll be created as a subdirectory of your $TMPDIR
and then replace the variable with the new definition. The Landlock Make
repository will be updated with examples shortly after this change which
shall be known as Landlock Make 1.1.1.
See #530
- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph
- 8.8% reduction in latency of make command
- Fix issue with temporary file cleanup
There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent
Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not
unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does.
Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead
in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since
the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx
make -j16 MODE=rel
RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time
RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size
RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel)
RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy)
RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual)
RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations
pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error.
These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module.
This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums
which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too
- Make memmem() faster
- Make readdir() thread safe
- Remove 64kb limit from mkdeps.com
- Add old crypt() function from Musl
- Improve new fix-third-party.py tool
- Improve libc/isystem/ headers and fix bugs
