This change makes further effort towards improving our poll()
implementation on the New Technology. The stdin worker didn't work out
so well for Python so it's not being used for now. System call tracing
with the --strace flag should now be less noisy now on Windows unless
you modify the strace.internal.h defines to turn on some optional ones
that are most useful for debugging the system call wrappers.
- Document sigaction()

You can now use the hardest fastest and most dangerous language there is
with Cosmopolitan. So far about 75% of LLVM libcxx has been added. A few
breaking changes needed to be made to help this go smoothly.
- Rename nothrow to dontthrow
- Rename nodiscard to dontdiscard
- Add some libm functions, e.g. lgamma, nan, etc.
- Change intmax_t from int128 to int64 like everything else
- Introduce %jjd formatting directive for int128_t
- Introduce strtoi128(), strtou128(), etc.
- Rename bsrmax() to bsr128()
Some of the templates that should be working currently are std::vector,
std::string, std::map, std::set, std::deque, etc.
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.

This change enables SSL compression. It significantly reduces the
network load of the testing infrastructure, for free, since this
revision didn't need to change any runit protocol code. However we
turn it off by default in redbean since no browsers support it.
It turns out that some TLSv1.0 clients (e.g. curl command on RHEL5) will
send an SSLv2-style ClientHello. These types of clients are usually ten+
years old and were designed to interop with servers ten years older than
them. Your redbean is now able to interop with these clients even though
redbean doesn't actually support SSLv2 or SSLv3. Please note that the -B
flag may be passed to disable this along with TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, 3DES, &c
The following Lua APIs have been added to redbean:
- ProgramSslCompression(bool)
- ProgramSslCiphersuite(name:str)
- ProgramSslPresharedKey(key:str,identity:str)
Lastly the DHE ciphersuites have been enabled. IANA recommends DHE and
with old clients like RHEL5 it's the only perfect forward secrecy they
implement.
- Better UBSAN error messages
- POSIX Advisory Locks polyfills
- Move redbean manual to /.help.txt
- System call memory safety in ASAN mode
- Character classification now does UNICODE
The most exciting improvement is dynamic pages will soon be able to use
the executable itself as an object store. it required a heroic technique
for overcoming ETXTBSY restrictions which lets us open the executable in
read/write mode, which means (1) wa can restore the APE header, and (2)
we can potentially containerize redbean extension code so that modules
you download for your redbean online will only impact your redbean.
Here's a list of breaking changes to redbean:
- Remove /tool/net/ prefix from magic ZIP paths
- GetHeader() now returns NIL if header is absent
Here's a list of fixes and enhancements to redbean:
- Support 64-bit ZIP archives
- Record User-Agent header in logs
- Add twelve error handlers to accept()
- Display octal st_mode on listing page
- Show ZIP file comments on listing page
- Restore APE MZ header on redbean startup

- Add ParseParams() API for parsing HTTP POST bodies
- Add IsAcceptablePath() API for checking dots, etc.
- Add IsValidHttpToken() API for validating sane ASCII
- Add IsAcceptableHostPort() for validating HOST[:PORT]
- Send 400 response to HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host
- Send 403 response if ZIP or file isn't other readable
- Add virtual hosting that tries prepending Host to path
- Route requests based on Host in Request-URI if present
- Host routing will attempt to remove or add the www. prefix
- Sign-extend UNIX timestamps and don't adjust FileTime zone
Here's some of the improvements made to Cosmopolitan Libc:
- Fix ape.S indentation
- Improve consts.sh magnums
- Write pretty good URL parser
- Improve rusage accounting apis
- Bring mremap() closer to working
- Added ZIP APIs which will change
- Check for overflow in reallocarray()
- Remove overly fancy linkage in strerror()
- Fix GDB attach on crash w/ OpenBSD msyscall()
- Make sigqueue() portable to most UNIX distros
- Make integer serialization macros more elegant
- Bring back 34x tprecode8to16() performance boost
- Make malloc() more resilient to absurdly large sizes
We can put this back the moment someone requests it. Pain-free garbage
collection for the C language is pretty cool. All it does is overwrite
the return address with a trampoline that calls free(). It's not clear
what it should be named if it's made a public API.
You can now build Cosmopolitan with Clang:
make -j8 MODE=llvm
o/llvm/examples/hello.com
The assembler and linker code is now friendly to LLVM too.
So it's not needed to configure Clang to use binutils under
the hood. If you love LLVM then you can now use pure LLVM.
For the first time ever, all tests in this codebase now pass, when
run automatically on macos, freebsd, openbsd, rhel5, rhel7, alpine
and windows via the network using the runit and runitd build tools
- Fix vfork exec path etc.

- Let Windows fcntl() be used on socket files descriptors
- Fix Windows fstat() which had an accidental printf statement
- Fix RHEL5 CLOCK_MONOTONIC by not aliasing to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
This is wonderful. I never could have dreamed it would be possible
to get it working so well on so many platforms with tiny binaries.
Fixes#31Fixes#25Fixes#14
It turned out that the linker was doing the wrong with the amalgamation
library concerning weak stubs. A regression test has been added and new
binaries have been uploaded to https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/
Ideally this should be fixed by building a tool that turns multiple .a
files into a single .a file with deduplication. As a workaround for now
the cosmopolitan.a build is restructured to not include LIBC_STUBS which
meant technical debt needed to be paid off where non-stub interfaces
were moved to LIBC_INTRIN and LIBC_NEXGEN32E.
Thank @PerfectProductions in #31 for the report!
This program popped up on Hacker News recently. It's the only modern
compiler I've ever seen that doesn't have dependencies and is easily
modified. So I added all of the missing GNU extensions I like to use
which means it might be possible soon to build on non-Linux and have
third party not vendor gcc binaries.
A new rollup tool now exists for flattening out the headers in a way
that works better for our purposes than cpp. A lot of the API clutter
has been removed. APIs that aren't a sure thing in terms of general
recommendation are now marked internal.
There's now a smoke test for the amalgamation archive and gigantic
header file. So we can now guarantee you can use this project on the
easiest difficulty setting without the gigantic repository.
A website is being created, which is currently a work in progress:

This change includes many bug fixes, for the NT polyfills, strings,
memory, boot, and math libraries which were discovered by adding more
tools for recreational programming, such as PC emulation. Lemon has also
been vendored because it works so well at parsing languages.
- Emulator can now test the αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε bootloader
- Whipped up a webserver named redbean. It services 150k requests per
second on a single core. Bundling assets inside zip enables extremely
fast serving for two reasons. The first is that zip central directory
lookups go faster than stat() system calls. The second is that both
zip and gzip content-encoding use DEFLATE, therefore, compressed
responses can be served via the sendfile() system call which does an
in-kernel copy directly from the zip executable structure. Also note
that red bean zip executables can be deployed easily to all platforms,
since these native executables work on Linux, Mac, BSD, and Windows.
- Address sanitizer now works very well
This is a recently introduced Linux Kernel feature that gives people
like Debian package mantainers the power to arbitrarily redefine how
executables are interpreted by the kernel. If your system gets tuned
this way and you're not able to disable it, then you need to restore
default behavior for the APE MZqFpD prefix as follows:
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/bin/sh:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"
This prefix will cover all .com executables built with this tooling.
Please don't run the above command unless you're certain you need it.
See #2 for additional context.
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
