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.
With `libunwind` and `libcxxabi` included in `libcosmo`, we can now
allow users to build C++ applications with exceptions and RTTI enabled.
The default is still disabling these two to avoid bloating the binary.
Closes#1065
* third_party: Add libcxxabi
Added libcxxabi from LLVM 17.0.6
The library implements the Itanium C++ exception handling ABI.
* third_party/libcxxabi: Enable __cxa_thread_atexit
Enable `__cxa_thread_atexit` from libcxxabi.
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl` is still implemented by the cosmo libc.
The original `__cxa_thread_atexit` has been removed.
* third_party/libcxx: Build with exceptions
Build libcxx with exceptions enabled.
- Removed `_LIBCPP_NO_EXCEPTIONS` from `__config`.
- Switched the exception implementation to `libcxxabi`. These two files
are taken from the same `libcxx` version as mentioned in `README.cosmo`.
- Removed `new_handler_fallback` in favor of `libcxxabi` implementation.
- Enable `-fexceptions` and `-frtti` for `libcxx`.
- Removed `THIRD_PARTY_LIBCXX` dependency from `libcxxabi` and
`libunwind`. These libraries do not use any runtime `libcxx` functions,
just headers.
* libc: Remove remaining redundant cxa functions
- `__cxa_pure_virtual` in `libcxxabi` is also a stub similar to the
existing one.
- `__cxa_guard_*` from `libcxxabi` is used instead of the ones from
Android.
Now there should be no more duplicate implementations.
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl`, `__cxa_atexit`, and related supporting
functions, are still left to other libraries as in `libcxxabi`.
`libcxxabi` is also now added to `cosmopolitan.a` to make up for the
removed functions.
Affected in-tree libraries (`third_party/double-conversion`) have been
updated.
The AMD HIP SDK for Linux ships prebuilt DSOs with an RWX PT_GNU_STACK
since old versions of GCC made it nearly impossible to build artifacts
where that wasn't the case, however modern glibc systems will flat out
refuse to link RWX DSOs from an execuatble that uses PT_GNU_STACK = RW
Now that cosmocc is unpacked into a version-specific directory under
cosmocc/, it makes more sense to put the versions in /opt/cosmocc and
maintain a symlink to the currently active one.
The cosmo_dlsym() function now returns the raw function address. You
need to call cosmo_dltramp() on the result, to make it safe to call.
This change is important, because cosmo_dltramp() magic can't always
work; for some tricky functions, you need to translate ABIs by hand.
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.
If cosmo_dlopen() is linked on AMD64 then the runtime will switch to
using %gs for thread-local storage. This eliminates the need for the
imported symbol trampoline. It's now safer to pass function pointers
back and forth with imported libraries. Your program gets recompiled
at runtime to make it happen and the overhead is a few milliseconds.
The toolchain will now be downloaded going forward from multiple pinned
URLs which have shasums. Either wget or curl must be installed.
This change unblocks #1053
Our dynamic linking implementation is now able to support functions with
dozens of parameters. In addition to having extra integral arguments you
can now pass vector registers using intrinsic types. Lastly, you can now
return multiple values, which is useful for functions returning structs.
It's now possible to pass flags like -Xaarch64-march=armv8.2-a+dotprod
so that cosmocc will use newer ARM ISAs. For AMD64 there's another one
worth mentioning, which looks like this: -Xx86_64-mssse3
This increases risk of fork bomb but is needed to support the NixOS.
Upstream dependencies of APE (uname, mkdir, dd, chmod, gzip, and mv)
will be removed from releases, and deleted from the cosmo.zip server
See #12
- Check `$COSMOCC`, defaulting to `/opt/cosmocc`.
- Try to get the full path of the repo `make.com`. I'm not aware of
a way of getting the path that defines a zsh function, so the best
fallback available is `$PWD`.
