This change fixes an issue with the tcflow() magic numbers that was causing bash to freeze up on Linux. While auditing termios polyfills, several other issues were identified with XNU/BSD compatibility. Out of an abundance of caution this change undefines as much surface area from libc/calls/struct/termios.h as possible, so that autoconf scripts are less likely to detect non-POSIX teletypewriter APIs that haven't been polyfilled by Cosmopolitan. This is a *breaking change* for your static archives in /opt/cosmos if you use the cosmocc toolchain. That's because this change disables the ioctl() undiamonding trick for code outside the monorepo, specifically because it'll lead to brittle ABI breakages like this. If you're using the cosmocc toolchain, you'll need to rebuild libraries like ncurses, readline, etc. Yes diamonds cause bloat. To work around that, consider using tcgetwinsize() instead of ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) since it'll help you avoid pulling every single ioctl-related polyfill into the linkage. The cosmocc script was specifying -DNDEBUG for some reason. It's fixed. |

SYNOPSIS
System Five Import Libraries
OVERVIEW
Bell System Five is the umbrella term we use to describe Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X which all have nearly-identical application binary interfaces that stood the test of time, having definitions nearly the same as those of AT&T back in the 1980's.
Cosmopolitan aims to help you build apps that can endure over the course of decades, just like these systems have: without needing to lift a finger for maintenance churn, broken builds, broken hearts.
The challenge to System V binary compatibility basically boils down to numbers. All these systems agree on what services are provided, but tend to grant them wildly different numbers.
We address this by putting all the numbers in a couple big shell scripts, ask the GNU Assembler to encode them into binaries using an efficient LEB128 encoding, unpacked by _init(), and ref'd via extern const. It gives us good debuggability, and any costs are gained back by fewer branches in wrapper functions.z
