- Introduce `-t MILLIS` flag and `ProgramTimeout(ms)` init API
- Introduce `-H "Header: value"` flag and `ProgramHeader(k,v)` API
Cosmopolitan Libc improvements:

- Make inet_pton() not depend on sscanf()
- Fix OpenExecutable() which broke .data section earlier
- Fix stdio in cases where it overflows kernel tty buffer

New netcat clone in examples/nc.c:
While testing some of the failure conditions for redbean, I noticed that
BusyBox's `nc` command is pretty busted, if you use it as an interactive
tool, rather than having it be part of a pipeline. Unfortunately this'll
only work on UNIX since Windows doesn't let us poll on stdio and sockets
at the same time because I don't think they want tools like this running
on their platform. So if you want forbidden fruit, it's here so enjoy it
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
- Track request count on redbean index page
- Report server uptime on redbean index page
- Don't bind server socket using SO_REUSEPORT
- Fix#151 where Lua LoadAsset() could free twice
- Report rusage accounting when workers exit w/ -vv
- Use ZIP iattr field as text/plain vs. binary hint
- Add ParseUrl() API for parsing things like a.href
- 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
Buffering now has optimal performance, bugs have been fixed, and some
missing apis have been introduced. This implementation is also now more
production worthy since it's less brittle now in terms of system errors.
That's going to help redbean since lua i/o is all based on stdio.
See #97
Cosmopolitan currently doesn't support threads and it doesn't do
anything fancy in longjmp/setjmp so this change was simple to do
- localeconv
- _setjmp (same as setjmp)
- _longjmp (same as longjmp)
- strcoll (same as strcmp)
- flockfile (does nothing)
- funlockfile (does nothing)
- ftrylockfile (does nothing)
See #61
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.
You can now use cosmopolitan.h with an ANSI C89 compiler like MSVC. The
Cosmopolitan codebase itself won't support being compiled that way. But
you can build objects that link against Cosmopolitan using any compiler
and you can furthermore use tools like IntelliSense that can't even GNU
See also #40
- Support deterministic stacks on OpenBSD
- Support OpenBSD system call origin verification
- Fix overrun by one in chibicc string token allocator
- Get all chibicc tests passing under Address Sanitizer
This change enables Address Sanitizer systemically w/ `make MODE=dbg`.
Our version of Rust's `unsafe` keyword is named `noasan` which is used
for two functions that do aligned memory chunking, like `strcpy.c` and
we need to fix the tiny DEFLATE code, but that's it everything else is
fabulous you can have all the fischer price security blankets you need
Best of all is we're now able to use the ASAN data in Blinkenlights to
colorize the memory dumps. See the screenshot below of a test program:
https://justine.lol/blinkenlights/asan.png
Which is operating on float arrays stored on the stack, with red areas
indicating poisoned memory, and the green areas indicate valid memory.
We always favor calling functions like openat(), fstatat(), etc. because
Linux, XNU, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD all elected to support them, while some
systems like Android love them so much, that they stopped supporting the
old interfaces.
This change ensures that when dirfd is actually a dirfd and not AT_FDCWD
we'll do the right thing on Windows NT. We use an API that's been around
since Vista to accomplish that.
This change also adds exponential backoff to chdir() on Windows since it
seems almost as flaky on Windows 7 as the rmdir() function.
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.
- Add XNU opendir() support
- Add OpenBSD opendir() support
- Add Linux history to syscalls.sh
- Use copy_file_range on FreeBSD 13+
- Fix system calls with 7+ arguments
- Fix Windows with greater than 16 FDs
- Fix RUNIT.COM and RUNITD.COM flakiness
- Fix OpenBSD munmap() when files are mapped
- Fix long double so it's actually long on Windows
- Fix OpenBSD truncate() and ftruncate() thunk typo
- 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:
