- 10.5% reduction of o//depend dependency graph - 8.8% reduction in latency of make command - Fix issue with temporary file cleanup There's a new -w option in compile.com that turns off the recent Landlock output path workaround for "good commands" which do not unlink() the output file like GNU tooling does. Our new GNU Make unveil sandboxing appears to have zero overhead in the grand scheme of things. Full builds are pretty fast since the only thing that's actually slowed us down is probably libcxx make -j16 MODE=rel RL: took 85,732,063µs wall time RL: ballooned to 323,612kb in size RL: needed 828,560,521µs cpu (11% kernel) RL: caused 39,080,670 page faults (99% memcpy) RL: 350,073 context switches (72% consensual) RL: performed 0 reads and 11,494,960 write i/o operations pledge() and unveil() no longer consider ENOSYS to be an error. These functions have also been added to Python's cosmo module. This change also removes some WIN32 APIs and System Five magnums which we're not using and it's doubtful anyone else would be too |

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
