2021-12-05Chore: simplified allocator interfaces.Nicholas Noll
I was never happy with the allocator/reallocator split. It was originally designed to accomodate things like arenas that don't free. But the majority of the time you don't care about this.
2021-12-05Chore: more explicit namespace for memory bufferNicholas Noll
2021-12-05Feat: basic string and memory functionsNicholas Noll
Continue filling out the basic standard lib functions. Included prototypes of the str* and mem* families. Plan to add e(str|mem) and n(str|mem) variants as well.
2021-12-05Feat: libbase partitioning. Cleaned up hash map macros.Nicholas Noll
Additionally, fixed varargs cleanup when done with fmt.write. Some system constants were added to allow for directory walking.
2021-12-04chore(rm): removed small os package. moved functions to filesystemNicholas Noll
2021-12-04Chore(REMOVE): finished deprecation of old io functions.Nicholas Noll
The old methods were simple wrappers of C standard library functions. We've moved (painfully) over to a new interface that allows for files to live on the stack. All users of the functionality are ported over.

2021-11-20Feat: added buffered io from plan9Nicholas
As we no longer have the FILE type, we need to buffer our reading and writing so that we don't have to make so many syscalls. The API is nice so that we can buffer other readers. We will update it so that it eats io·Readers/io·Writers.
2021-11-20Chore: cleaned up the exit code to cleanly interface with libcNicholas
We use weak linking to ensure we clean up at exit time correctly. If libc is linked, then we call our cleanup function by registering an atexit callback with the library. If libc is not linked, we have a weak symbol that results in a noop. Similarly, if we call rt·exit while linked with libc, this immediately calls libc's exit (which will call our cleanup as we registered it). If we are not linked to libc, exit() is given as a weak link to a noop function.

2021-11-20Chore: reorganize libutf and libfmt into baseNicholas
I found the split to be arbitrary. Better to include the functionality in the standard library. I also split the headers to allow for more granular inclusion (but the library is still monolithic). The only ugliness is the circular dependency introduced with libutf's generated functions. We put explicit prereqs with the necessary object files instead.
2021-11-20Feature: self hosting prototype implementedNicholas Noll
This is a large change. In order to remove myself from libc's arcane interface, I implemented an independent runtime layer. It is based on musl's wonderful implementation mostly. Critically, if libc is linked to the program, then we cooperate. Namely, we call start main and let libc do all initialization. If not, then we have a noop defined in rt3.a. The general structure of the file is: 1. sys/$os/$arch contains all architecture dependent code 2. sys/$os/port contains all code that depends on the os, but is portable 3. rt/$arch contains all the runtime architecture dependent code 4. rt/* contains the portable runtime code. Obviously testing is needed. Specifically, while code is checked in for the most popular architectures, it only has been tested on one computer! Overall this is exciting and as been educational.
