- Blocking read operations on the Windows Console can now EINTR
- Blocking read operations on Windows pipes now EINTR more reliably
- setitimer() will no longer be inherited across fork() on Windows
- It's now possible to use ECHO when the console is in raw mode
- The ECHOCTL flag now works correctly on the Windows Console
- The ICRNL flag now works correctly on the Windows Console
- pread() and pwrite() will now raise ESPIPE on Windows
- Opening /dev/tty on Windows is improved (untested)
- Overlapped I/O is now implemented in a better way
This change introduces new tests for `O_NONBLOCK` and `SOCK_NONBLOCK` to
confirm that non-blocking i/o is now working on all supported platforms,
including Windows. For example, you can now say on Windows, MacOS, etc.:
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_TCP);
To create a non-blocking IPv4 TCP socket. Or you can enable non-blocking
i/o on an existing socket / pipe / etc. file descriptor by calling fcntl
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, fcntl(fd, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK);
This functionality is polyfilled on older Linux kernels too, e.g. RHEL5.
Now that fcntl() support is much better the FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX polyfills
for ioctl() have been removed since they're ugly non-POSIX diameond APIs
This change fixes a weakness in kprintf() that was causing Windows trace
tools to frequently crash.
This change implements a new approach to function call logging, that's
based on the GCC flag: -fpatchable-function-entry. Read the commentary
in build/config.mk to learn how it works.
