Cosmopolitan now supports 104 time zones. They're embedded inside any
binary that links the localtime() function. Doing so adds about 100kb
to the binary size. This change also gets time zones working properly
on Windows for the first time. It's not needed to have /etc/localtime
exist on Windows, since we can get this information from WIN32. We're
also now updated to the latest version of Paul Eggert's TZ library.
Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put
it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't
wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You
now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header
and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function
Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way.
We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be
more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc.
- Use good ELF technique in cosmo_dlopen()
- Make strerror() conform more to other libc impls
- Introduce __clear_cache() and use it in cosmo_dlopen()
- Remove libc/fmt/fmt.h header (trying to kill off LIBC_FMT)
This change reduces the memory requirements of your APE Loader by 10x,
in terms of virtual memory size, thanks to the help of alloca(). We're
also now creating argument blocks with the same layout across systems.
This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.
- 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

The termios::c_cc field turned out to be incorrectly defined on Linux
due to some confusion between the glibc and kernel definitions. We'll
be using the kernel definition, since it has the strongest consensus.
Fields have been have been added to struct stat for BSD compatibility
such as st_birthtim, plus the GLIBC compatibility of isystem/sys/stat
has been improved.
We can put this back the moment someone requests it. Pain-free garbage
collection for the C language is pretty cool. All it does is overwrite
the return address with a trampoline that calls free(). It's not clear
what it should be named if it's made a public API.
- Remove XD bit in page tables
- Fix cylinder+head+sector arithmetic
- Implement fstat() for serial file descriptors on metal
Here's how to boot an Actually Portable Executable in QEMU:
make -j12 o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -fda o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
Here's a screenshot of DEATHSTAR.COM booted in QEMU:

Thus metal support is in much better shape now, but still incomplete.
Only a few system calls have been polyfilled. To figure out which ones
your program needs, simply boot it in the blinkenlights emulator with a
breakpoint, and press CTRL-C to continue to the system call breakpoint.
If it doesn't break then you should be good. (Note: to emulate normally
you can press 'c' and use CTRL-T and ALT-T to tune the speed.)

Thank @Theldus for the bug report that made this change possible.
Fixes#20 which explains this change further.
