This change doubles the performance of thread spawning. That's thanks to
our new stack manager, which allows us to avoid zeroing stacks. It gives
us 15µs spawns rather than 30µs spawns on Linux. Also, pthread_exit() is
faster now, since it doesn't need to acquire the pthread GIL. On NetBSD,
that helps us avoid allocating too many semaphores. Even if that happens
we're now able to survive semaphores running out and even memory running
out, when allocating *NSYNC waiter objects. I found a lot more rare bugs
in the POSIX threads runtime that could cause things to crash, if you've
got dozens of threads all spawning and joining dozens of threads. I want
cosmo to be world class production worthy for 2025 so happy holidays all
When reading hexadecimal floats, cosmopolitan would previously sometimes
print a number of warnings relating to undefined behavior on left shift:
third_party/gdtoa/gethex.c:172: ubsan warning: signed left shift changed
sign bit or overflowed 12 'int' 28 'int' is undefined behavior
This is because gdtoa assumes left shifts are safe when overflow happens
even on signed integers - this is false: the C standard considers it UB.
This is easy to fix, by simply casting the shifted value to unsigned, as
doing so does not change the value or the semantics of the left shifting
(except for avoiding the undefined behavior, as the C standard specifies
that unsigned overflow yields wraparound, avoiding undefined behaviour).
This commit does this, and adds a testcase that previously triggered UB.
(this also adds test macros to test for exact float equality, instead of
the existing {EXPECT,ASSERT}_FLOAT_EQ macros which only tests inputs for
being "almost equal" (with a significant epsilon) whereas exact equality
makes more sense for certain things such as reading floats from strings,
and modifies other testcases for sscanf/fscanf of floats to utilize it).
- wcsstr() is now linearly complex
- strstr16() is now linearly complex
- strstr() is now vectorized on aarch64 (10x)
- strstr() now uses KMP on pathological cases
- memmem() is now vectorized on aarch64 (10x)
- memmem() now uses KMP on pathological cases
- Disable shared_ptr::owner_before until fixed
- Make iswlower(), iswupper() consistent with glibc
- Remove figure space from iswspace() implementation
- Include line and paragraph separator in iswcntrl()
- Use Musl wcwidth(), iswalpha(), iswpunct(), towlower(), towupper()
Cosmopolitan now supports 104 time zones. They're embedded inside any
binary that links the localtime() function. Doing so adds about 100kb
to the binary size. This change also gets time zones working properly
on Windows for the first time. It's not needed to have /etc/localtime
exist on Windows, since we can get this information from WIN32. We're
also now updated to the latest version of Paul Eggert's TZ library.
Somehow or another, I previously had missed `BUILD.mk` files.
In the process I found a few straggler cases where the modeline was
different from the file, including one very involved manual fix where a
file had been treated like it was ts=2 and ts=8 on separate occasions.
The commit history in the PR shows the gory details; the BUILD.mk was
automated, everything else was mostly manual.
