- This change fixes a bug that allowed unbuffered printf() output (to
streams like stderr) to be truncated. This regression was introduced
some time between now and the last release.
- POSIX specifies all functions as thread safe by default. This change
works towards cleaning up our use of the @threadsafe / @threadunsafe
documentation annotations to reflect that. The goal is (1) to use
@threadunsafe to document functions which POSIX say needn't be thread
safe, and (2) use @threadsafe to document functions that we chose to
implement as thread safe even though POSIX didn't mandate it.
- Tidy up the clock_gettime() implementation. We're now trying out a
cleaner approach to system call support that aims to maintain the
Linux errno convention as long as possible. This also fixes bugs that
existed previously, where the vDSO errno wasn't being translated
properly. The gettimeofday() system call is now a wrapper for
clock_gettime(), which reduces bloat in apps that use both.
- The recently-introduced improvements to the execute bit on Windows has
had bugs fixed. access(X_OK) on a directory on Windows now succeeds.
fstat() will now perform the MZ/#! ReadFile() operation correctly.
- Windows.h is no longer included in libc/isystem/, because it confused
PCRE's build system into thinking Cosmopolitan is a WIN32 platform.
Cosmo's Windows.h polyfill was never even really that good, since it
only defines a subset of the subset of WIN32 APIs that Cosmo defines.
- The setlongerjmp() / longerjmp() APIs are removed. While they're nice
APIs that are superior to the standardized setjmp / longjmp functions,
they weren't superior enough to not be dead code in the monorepo. If
you use these APIs, please file an issue and they'll be restored.
- The .com appending magic has now been removed from APE Loader.
- Improve compatibility with Blink virtual machine
- Add non-POSIX APIs for joining threads and signal masks
- Never ever use anything except 32-bit integers for atomics
- Add some `#undef` statements to workaround `ctags` problems
This change adds a double linked list of threads, so that pthread_exit()
will know when it should call exit() from an orphaned child. This change
also improves ftrace and strace logging.
This change makes some miracle modifications to the System Five system
call support, which lets us have safe, correct, and atomic handling of
thread cancellations. It all turned out to be cheaper than anticipated
because it wasn't necessary to modify the system call veneers. We were
able to encode the cancellability of each system call into the magnums
found in libc/sysv/syscalls.sh. Since cancellations are so waq, we are
also supporting a lovely Musl Libc mask feature for raising ECANCELED.
- fix rare thread exit race condition on openbsd
- pthread_getattr_np() now supplies detached status
- child threads may now pthread_join() the main thread
- introduce sigandset(), sigorset(), and sigisemptyset()
- introduce pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop()
Since we're now on Windows 8, we can have clone() work as advertised on
Windows, where it sends a futex wake to the child tid. It's also likely
we no longer need to work around thread flakes on OpenBSD, in _wait0().
The organization of the source files is now much more rational.
Old experiments that didn't work out are now deleted. Naming of
things like files is now more intuitive.
