This change fixes Cosmopolitan so it has fewer opinions about compiler
warnings. The whole repository had to be cleaned up to be buildable in
-Werror -Wall mode. This lets us benefit from things like strict const
checking. Some actual bugs might have been caught too.
- This commit mints a new release of APE Loader v1.2 which supports
loading ELF programs with a non-contiguous virtual address layout
even though we've never been able to take advantage of it, due to
how `objcopy -SO binary` fills any holes left by PT_LOAD. This'll
change soon, since we'll have a new way of creating APE binaries.
- The undiamonding trick with our ioctl() implementation is removed
since POSIX has been killing ioctl() for years and they've done a
much better job. One problem it resolves, is that ioctl(FIONREAD)
wasn't working earlier and that caused issues when building Emacs
This change fixes an issue with the tcflow() magic numbers that was
causing bash to freeze up on Linux. While auditing termios polyfills,
several other issues were identified with XNU/BSD compatibility.
Out of an abundance of caution this change undefines as much surface
area from libc/calls/struct/termios.h as possible, so that autoconf
scripts are less likely to detect non-POSIX teletypewriter APIs that
haven't been polyfilled by Cosmopolitan.
This is a *breaking change* for your static archives in /opt/cosmos if
you use the cosmocc toolchain. That's because this change disables the
ioctl() undiamonding trick for code outside the monorepo, specifically
because it'll lead to brittle ABI breakages like this. If you're using
the cosmocc toolchain, you'll need to rebuild libraries like ncurses,
readline, etc. Yes diamonds cause bloat. To work around that, consider
using tcgetwinsize() instead of ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) since it'll help you
avoid pulling every single ioctl-related polyfill into the linkage.
The cosmocc script was specifying -DNDEBUG for some reason. It's fixed.
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.
- 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
Continuous Integration (via runit and runitd) is now re-enabled on win7
and win10. The `make test` command, which runs the tests on all systems
is now the fastest and most stable it's been since the project started.
UBSAN is now enabled in MODE=dbg in addition to ASAN. Many instances of
undefined behavior have been removed. Mostly things like passing a NULL
argument to memcpy(), which works fine with Cosmopolitan Libc, but that
doesn't prevents the compiler from being unhappy. There was an issue w/
GNU make where static analysis claims a sprintf() call can overflow. We
also now have nicer looking crash reports on Windows since uname should
now be supported and msys64 addr2line works reliably.
- POSIX regular expressions for Lua
- Improved protocol parsing and encoding
- Additional APIs for ZIP storage retrieval
- Fix st_mode issue on NT for regular files
