You would think this is an important bug fix, but unfortunately all UNIX
implementations I've evaluated have a bug in read that causes signals to
not be handled atomically. The only exception is the latest iteration of
Cosmopolitan's read/write polyfill on Windows, which is somewhat ironic.
It's now possible to safely print C++ backtraces from signal handlers.
This symbol demangler doesn't need malloc, tls, or even static memory.
Additionally, this change makes it 2x faster and adds test cases. It's
almost as performant and accurate as the libcxxabi implementation now.
The feenableexcept() and fedisableexcept() APIs are now provided which
let you detect when NaNs appear the moment it happens from anywhere in
your program. Tests have also been added for the mission critical math
functions expf() and erff(), whose perfect operation has been assured.
See examples/trapping.c to see how to use this powerful functionality.
- Introduce portable sched_getcpu() api
- Support GCC's __target_clones__ feature
- Make fma() go faster on x86 in default mode
- Remove some asan checks from core libraries
- WinMain() now ensures $HOME and $USER are defined
This will help C++ code that uses exceptions to be tinier. For example,
this change shaves away 1000 lines of assembly code from LLVM's libcxx,
which is 0.7% of all assembly instructions in the entire library.
