c.inc (AFAICT erroneously) defined _Atomic(t) as `volatile t *`, when it should have just said `volatile t`, when __STDC_VERSION__ was too small. This happens when we’re compiling C++, but in C++11, _Atomic is a define supplied by the STL rather than a keyword supplied by the compiler. Wait though, it gets better: in C++11, _Atomic hooks you into the morass that is stdatomic.h, and ultimately refers everything back to std::atomic<T>. The gory, horrifying details are in libcxx's __atomic/cxx_atomic_impl.h. The tldr is that for our purposes it’s fine to just say volatile and use the normal libc/intrin/atomic.h functions. |

Cosmopolitan Standard Library
This directory defines static archives defining functions, like
printf(), mmap(), win32, etc. Please note that the Cosmopolitan
build configuration doesn't link any C/C++ library dependencies
by default, so you still have the flexibility to choose the one
provided by your system. If you'd prefer Cosmopolitan, just add
$(LIBC) and $(CRT) to your linker arguments.
Your library is compromised of many bite-sized static archives. We use the checkdeps tool to guarantee that the contents of the archives are organized in a logical way that's easy to use with or without our makefile infrastructure, since there's no cyclic dependencies.
The Cosmopolitan Library exports only the most stable canonical
system calls for all supported operating systems, regardless of
which platform is used for compilation. We polyfill many of the
APIs, e.g. read(), write() so they work consistently everywhere
while other apis, e.g. CreateWindowEx(), might only work on one
platform, in which case they become no-op functions on others.
Cosmopolitan polyfill wrappers will usually use the dollar sign naming convention, so they may be bypassed when necessary. This same convention is used when multiple implementations of string library and other performance-critical function are provided to allow Cosmopolitan to go fast on both old and newer computers.
We take an approach to configuration that relies heavily on the
compiler's dead code elimination pass (libc/dce.h). Most of the
code is written so that, for example, folks not wanting support
for OpenBSD can flip a bit in SUPPORT_VECTOR and that code will
be omitted from the build. The same is true for builds that are
tuned using -march=native which effectively asks the library to
not include runtime support hooks for x86 processors older than
what you use.
Please note that, unlike Cygwin or MinGW, Cosmopolitan does not achieve broad support by bolting on a POSIX emulation layer. We do nothing more than (in most cases) stateless API translations that get you 90% of the way there in a fast lightweight manner. We therefore can't address some of the subtle differences, such as the nuances of absolute paths on Windows. Our approach could be compared to something more along the lines of, "the Russians just used a pencil to write in space", versus spending millions researching a pen like NASA.
