The most exciting improvement is dynamic pages will soon be able to use the executable itself as an object store. it required a heroic technique for overcoming ETXTBSY restrictions which lets us open the executable in read/write mode, which means (1) wa can restore the APE header, and (2) we can potentially containerize redbean extension code so that modules you download for your redbean online will only impact your redbean. Here's a list of breaking changes to redbean: - Remove /tool/net/ prefix from magic ZIP paths - GetHeader() now returns NIL if header is absent Here's a list of fixes and enhancements to redbean: - Support 64-bit ZIP archives - Record User-Agent header in logs - Add twelve error handlers to accept() - Display octal st_mode on listing page - Show ZIP file comments on listing page - Restore APE MZ header on redbean startup - Track request count on redbean index page - Report server uptime on redbean index page - Don't bind server socket using SO_REUSEPORT - Fix #151 where Lua LoadAsset() could free twice - Report rusage accounting when workers exit w/ -vv - Use ZIP iattr field as text/plain vs. binary hint - Add ParseUrl() API for parsing things like a.href - Add ParseParams() API for parsing HTTP POST bodies - Add IsAcceptablePath() API for checking dots, etc. - Add IsValidHttpToken() API for validating sane ASCII - Add IsAcceptableHostPort() for validating HOST[:PORT] - Send 400 response to HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host - Send 403 response if ZIP or file isn't other readable - Add virtual hosting that tries prepending Host to path - Route requests based on Host in Request-URI if present - Host routing will attempt to remove or add the www. prefix - Sign-extend UNIX timestamps and don't adjust FileTime zone Here's some of the improvements made to Cosmopolitan Libc: - Fix ape.S indentation - Improve consts.sh magnums - Write pretty good URL parser - Improve rusage accounting apis - Bring mremap() closer to working - Added ZIP APIs which will change - Check for overflow in reallocarray() - Remove overly fancy linkage in strerror() - Fix GDB attach on crash w/ OpenBSD msyscall() - Make sigqueue() portable to most UNIX distros - Make integer serialization macros more elegant - Bring back 34x tprecode8to16() performance boost - Make malloc() more resilient to absurdly large sizes |

SYNOPSIS
Cosmopolitan Standard Library.
OVERVIEW
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.
