This change ports APE Loader to Linux AARCH64, so that Raspberry Pi
users can run programs like redbean, without the executable needing
to modify itself. Progress has also slipped into this change on the
issue of making progress better conforming to user expectations and
industry standards regarding which symbols we're allowed to declare
- Fix unused local variable errors
- Remove yoinks from sigaction() header
- Add nox87 and aarch64 to github actions
- Fix cosmocc -fportcosmo in linking mode
- It's now possible to build `make m=llvm o/llvm/libc`
- Found some bugs in LLVM compiler-rt library
- The useless LIBC_STUBS package is now deleted
- Improve the overflow checking story even further
- Get chibicc tests working in MODE=dbg mode again
- The libc/isystem/ headers now have correctly named guards
- More timspec_*() and timeval_*() APIs have been introduced.
- The copyfd() function is now simplified thanks to POSIX rules.
- More Cosmo-specific APIs have been moved behind the COSMO define.
- The setitimer() polyfill for Windows NT is now much higher quality.
- Fixed build error for MODE=aarch64 due to -mstringop-strategy=loop.
- This change introduces `make MODE=nox87 toolchain` which makes it
possible to build programs using your cosmocc toolchain that don't
have legacy fpu instructions. This is useful, for example, if you
want to have a ~22kb tinier blink virtual machine.
- Utilities like pledge.com now build
- kprintf() will no longer balk at 48-bit addresses
- There's a new aarch64-dbg build mode that should work
- gc() and defer() are mostly pacified; avoid using them on aarch64
- THIRD_PART_STB now has Arm Neon intrinsics for fast image handling
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.
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.
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.
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.
