The `cosmocc` compiler is now being distributed as a self-contained
toolchain that's path-agnostic and it no longer requires you clone the
Cosmop repo to use it. The bin/ folder has been deleted from the mono
repo. The `fatcosmocc` command has been renamed to `cosmocc`. MacOS
support now works very well.
Our makefile generator now accepts badly formatted include lines. It's
now more hermetic with better error checking in the cosmo repo, and it
can be configured to not be hermetic at all.
Using `cosmocc -std=c11` was causing `ucontext_t` to become misaligned.
This change also adds the GNU constants on x86_64 for accessing general
registers, so you will not need `#ifdef`s to support both Cosmo and GNU
This change addresses a $PATH resolution issue where APE depends on
uname and uname is an APE program. So sorry to anyone this impacted
we'll get a release out soon.
wait4() is now solid enough to run `make -j100` on Windows. You can now
use MSG_DONTWAIT on Windows. There was a handle leak in accept() that's
been fixed. Our WIN32 overlapped i/o code has been simplified. Priority
class now inherits into subprocesses, so the verynice command will work
and the signal mask will now be inherited by execve() and posix_spawn()
Every program built using Cosmopolitan is statically-linked. However
there are some cases, e.g. GUIs and video drivers, where linking the
host platform libraries is desirable. So what we do in such cases is
launch a stub executable using the host platform's libc, and longjmp
back into this executable. The stub executable passes back to us the
platform-specific dlopen() implementation, which we shall then wrap.
Here's the list of platforms that are supported so far:
- x86-64 Linux w/ Glibc
- x86-64 Linux w/ Musl Libc
- x86-64 FreeBSD
- x86-64 Windows
- aarch64 Linux w/ Glibc
- aarch64 MacOS
What this means is your Cosmo programs can call foreign functions on
your host operating system. However, it's important to note that any
foreign library you link won't have the ability to call functions in
your Cosmopolitan program. For example it's now technically possible
that Lua can load a module, however that almost certainly won't work
since the Lua module won't have access to Cosmo's Lua API.
Kudos to @jacereda for figuring out how to do this.
This change addresses a bug that was reported in #923 where bash on
Windows behaved strangely. It turned out that our weak linking of
malloc() caused bash's configure script to favor its own getcwd()
function, which is implemented in the most astonishing way, using
opendir() and readdir() to recursively construct the current path.
This change moves getcwd() into LIBC_STDIO so it can strongly link
malloc(). A new __getcwd() function is now introduced, so all the
low-level runtime services can still use the actual system call. It
provides the Linux Kernel API convention across platforms, and is
overall a higher-quality implementation than what we had before.
In the future, we should probably take a closer look into why bash's
getcwd() polyfill wasn't working as intended on Windows, since there
might be a potential opportunity there to improve our readdir() too.
This function was invented by the BSDs (it's not in POSIX.1). It
provides a high-level interface into ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) which is
comparatively clumsy to use. We already made the ioctls portable
across our entire support vector back in 2021, so this interface
is portable too. See o//tool/viz/getifaddrs.com for our demo app
This implementation doesn't work as well as WIN32 futexes. This code
path was only added back when we were having issues with set context
however that's been solved so we can go back to the much better code
This change gets the pledge (formerly pledge.com) command back in tip
top shape for a 3.0.1 cosmos release. It now runs on all platforms, even
though it's mostly a no-op on ones that lack the kernel security stuff.
The binary footprint is now smaller, since it no longer needs to link
malloc. It's also now able to be built as a fat binary.
Qemu appears to define O_LARGEFILE as having its x86-64 value, which is
an easy mistake to make since this is one of the few magic numbers that
Linux special-cases for AARCH64.
