This change unbreaks test/libc/nexgen32e/memeqmask_test.c which appears
to currently be the only reference to this api. It was originally meant
to be used for speeding up terminal video rendering. We might delete it
Fixes#26
This bug impacts folks who purchased Intel chips made in 2011-2012.
We're now using `vxorps` instead of `vpxor` which is great since it
means we do not need to change `X86_HAVE(AVX)` to `X86_HAVE(AVX2)`,
because AVX2 is only available on Haswell and later.
Fixes#16
Windows 7 support is now confirmed to be working. However it comes at
the cost of needing to workaround this tragically oppressive behavior
which is imposed for reasons unknown.
Fixes#19
- Remove XD bit in page tables
- Fix cylinder+head+sector arithmetic
- Implement fstat() for serial file descriptors on metal
Here's how to boot an Actually Portable Executable in QEMU:
make -j12 o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -fda o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
Here's a screenshot of DEATHSTAR.COM booted in QEMU:

Thus metal support is in much better shape now, but still incomplete.
Only a few system calls have been polyfilled. To figure out which ones
your program needs, simply boot it in the blinkenlights emulator with a
breakpoint, and press CTRL-C to continue to the system call breakpoint.
If it doesn't break then you should be good. (Note: to emulate normally
you can press 'c' and use CTRL-T and ALT-T to tune the speed.)

Thank @Theldus for the bug report that made this change possible.
Fixes#20 which explains this change further.
Multiple users have reported that this test fails, for reasons that
are currently unknown. It's possible that, some type of environment
variable configuration, e.g. PATH, CC, etc. is causing the failure.
Once the root cause is identified and addressed we'll re-enable it.
Anyone who is able to help us do that, please comment on the issue.
A regression occurred where LIBC_ZIPOS support wasn't being properly
linked into Cosmopolitan NESEMU1. Main modules that link zip support
need to have the following declaration to guaranteed zip: polyfills:
STATIC_YOINK("zip_uri_support");
Doing that, means system calls such as open(), mmap(), fstat(), etc.
will do the right thing when encountering zip: prefixed URLs. Please
also note that in the near future we're going to change it to zip://
after more closely examining the relevant URI RFCs.
Fixes#28Closes#29
Thanks @nikhedonia for the report!
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 change pays off technical debt with the function -> DLL mappings in
libc/nt/master.sh, which was originally defined based on binary analysis
on Windows 10. It's now been updated so the kernel32/kernelbase/advapi32
imports should be exactly as they are written, on the MSDN documentation
and that wouldn't have been easy without Geoff Chappell's work thank him

In addition to removing the URI downloading support. It was originally
intended to have this command play YouTube videos too but that support
was never completed. Latest release binaries can be obtained via:
wget https://justine.lol/printvideo.com # 284k ape executable
wget https://justine.lol/printvideo.com.dbg
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 is done without using Microsoft's internal APIs. MAP_PRIVATE
mappings are copied to the subprocess via a pipe, since Microsoft
doesn't want us to have proper COW pages. MAP_SHARED mappings are
remapped without needing to do any copying. Global variables need
copying along with the stack and the whole heap of anonymous mem.
This actually improves the reliability of the redbean http server
although one shouldn't expect 10k+ connections on a home computer
that isn't running software built to serve like Linux or FreeBSD.
blinkenlights now does a pretty good job emulating what happens when
binaries boot from BIOS into long mode. So it's been much easier to
debug the bare metal process and wrinkle out many issues.
