This change causes cosmocc to use -fno-inline-functions-called-once by
default, unless -Os or -finline-functions-called-once is defined. This
is important since I believe it generally makes code go faster, and it
most importantly makes --ftrace output much more understandable, since
the trace will be more likely to reflect the actual shape of the code.
We've always used this flag in the mono repo when ftracing is enabled,
but it slipped my mind to incorporate this into the cosmocc toolchain.
This change upgrades to GCC 12.3 and GNU binutils 2.42. The GNU linker
appears to have changed things so that only a single de-duplicated str
table is present in the binary, and it gets placed wherever the linker
wants, regardless of what the linker script says. To cope with that we
need to stop using .ident to embed licenses. As such, this change does
significant work to revamp how third party licenses are defined in the
codebase, using `.section .notice,"aR",@progbits`.
This new GCC 12.3 toolchain has support for GNU indirect functions. It
lets us support __target_clones__ for the first time. This is used for
optimizing the performance of libc string functions such as strlen and
friends so far on x86, by ensuring AVX systems favor a second codepath
that uses VEX encoding. It shaves some latency off certain operations.
It's a useful feature to have for scientific computing for the reasons
explained by the test/libcxx/openmp_test.cc example which compiles for
fifteen different microarchitectures. Thanks to the upgrades, it's now
also possible to use newer instruction sets, such as AVX512FP16, VNNI.
Cosmo now uses the %gs register on x86 by default for TLS. Doing it is
helpful for any program that links `cosmo_dlopen()`. Such programs had
to recompile their binaries at startup to change the TLS instructions.
That's not great, since it means every page in the executable needs to
be faulted. The work of rewriting TLS-related x86 opcodes, is moved to
fixupobj.com instead. This is great news for MacOS x86 users, since we
previously needed to morph the binary every time for that platform but
now that's no longer necessary. The only platforms where we need fixup
of TLS x86 opcodes at runtime are now Windows, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. On
Windows we morph TLS to point deeper into the TIB, based on a TlsAlloc
assignment, and on OpenBSD/NetBSD we morph %gs back into %fs since the
kernels do not allow us to specify a value for the %gs register.
OpenBSD users are now required to use APE Loader to run Cosmo binaries
and assimilation is no longer possible. OpenBSD kernel needs to change
to allow programs to specify a value for the %gs register, or it needs
to stop marking executable pages loaded by the kernel as mimmutable().
This release fixes __constructor__, .ctor, .init_array, and lastly the
.preinit_array so they behave the exact same way as glibc.
We no longer use hex constants to define math.h symbols like M_PI.

a2753de contains some regressions, causing `fixupobj` to be
inappropriately suppressed when `-MD` or `-MMD` is passed.
This commit reverts most changes by a2753de, and:
- Treats all invocations of the compiler with `-M` and `-MM` as with the
`cpp` intent, since these flags imply `-E`.
- Handle the dependency output path specified by `-MF`.
+ This is trivial for `cosmocross` since the script does not throw
objects to and from temporary directories.
+ For `cosmocc`, the file names are calculated based on the `-MF`
value provided by the user. If this flag is not specified, the script
generates the file name based on the output file using GCC rules.
Then, before calling the real compilers, an additional `-MF` flag is
passed to override the dependency outputs with mangled file names.
If you install qemu-user from apt then glibc links a lot of address
space bloat that causes pthread_create() to ENOMEM (a.k.a. EAGAIN).
Boosting the virtual memory quota from 512m to 2048m will hopefully
future proof the build for the future, as Linux distros get fatter.
Please note this only applies to MODE=aarch64 on x86_64 builds when
you're using QEMU from Debian/Ubuntu rather than installing the one
cosmo provides in third_party/qemu/qemu-aarch64.gz. This change may
also be useful to people who are using the host compiler toolchain.
Some compiler flags (such as -E or -MM) instruct GCC to only run the
preprocessor and produce certain text files.
In this case, we do not want to run `fixupobj` and make the tool fail
because the input is not an ELF64 binary.
Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put
it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't
wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You
now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header
and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function
Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way.
We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be
more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc.
With `libunwind` and `libcxxabi` included in `libcosmo`, we can now
allow users to build C++ applications with exceptions and RTTI enabled.
The default is still disabling these two to avoid bloating the binary.
Closes#1065
Now that cosmocc is unpacked into a version-specific directory under
cosmocc/, it makes more sense to put the versions in /opt/cosmocc and
maintain a symlink to the currently active one.
The toolchain will now be downloaded going forward from multiple pinned
URLs which have shasums. Either wget or curl must be installed.
This change unblocks #1053
Our dynamic linking implementation is now able to support functions with
dozens of parameters. In addition to having extra integral arguments you
can now pass vector registers using intrinsic types. Lastly, you can now
return multiple values, which is useful for functions returning structs.
It's now possible to pass flags like -Xaarch64-march=armv8.2-a+dotprod
so that cosmocc will use newer ARM ISAs. For AMD64 there's another one
worth mentioning, which looks like this: -Xx86_64-mssse3
This increases risk of fork bomb but is needed to support the NixOS.
Upstream dependencies of APE (uname, mkdir, dd, chmod, gzip, and mv)
will be removed from releases, and deleted from the cosmo.zip server
See #12
- Check `$COSMOCC`, defaulting to `/opt/cosmocc`.
- Try to get the full path of the repo `make.com`. I'm not aware of
a way of getting the path that defines a zsh function, so the best
fallback available is `$PWD`.
Now that our socket system call polyfills are good enough to support
Musl's DNS library we should be using that rather than the barebones
domain name system implementation we rolled on our own. There's many
benefits to making this change. So many, that I myself wouldn't feel
qualified to enumerate them all. The Musl DNS code had to be changed
in order to support Windows of course, which looks very solid so far

Includes additional small fixes that I felt didn't warrant a separate PR.
`o/$mode/*` is passed through as-is. `o/*` other than `$mode` has
`$mode` inserted. `*` has `o/$mode/` prepended.
Really leveraging zsh default tab completion here; if you have built
things with `MODE=` you can leverage that for perfect tab completion
in other modes.
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.
