- Document redbean's argon2 module - Fix regressions in cthreads library - Make testlib work better with threads - Give the cthreads library lots of love - Remove some of the stdio assembly code - Implement getloadavg() across platforms - Code size optimizations for errnos, etc. - Only check for signals in main thread on Windows - Make errnos for dup2 / dup3 consistent with posix This change also fixes a bug in the argon2 module, where the NUL terminator was being included in the hash encoded ascii string. This shouldn't require any database migrations to folks who found this module and productionized it, since the argon2 library treats it as a c string. |

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
