The Cosmopolitan Compiler Collection now includes the following programs - `ar.ape` is a faster alternative to `ar rcsD` for creating determistic static archives. It's ~10x faster than GNU because it isn't quadratic. It'll even outperform LLVM ar by 2x, thanks to writev/copy_file_range. - `sha256sum.ape` is a faster alternative to the `sha256sum` command. It goes 2x faster since it leverages vectorized assembly implementations. - `resymbol` is a brand new program we invented, like objcopy, that lets you rename all the global symbols in a .o file to have a new suffix or prefix. In the future, this will be used by cosmocc automatically when building -O3 math kernels, that need to be vectorized for all hardware - `gzip.ape` is a faster version of the `gzip` command, that is included by most Linux distros. It gains better performance using Chromium Zlib which, once again, includes highly optimized assembly, that Mark Adler won't merge into the official MS-DOS compatible zlib codebase. - `cocmd` is the cosmopolitan shell. It can function as a faster `sh -c` alternative than bash and dash as the `SHELL = /opt/cosmocc/bin/cocmd` at the top of your Makefile. Please note you should be using the cosmo fork of GNU make (already included), since normal make won't recognize this as a bourne-compatible shell and remove the execve() optimization which makes things slower. In some ways that's true. This doesn't have a complete POSIX shell implementation. However it's enough for cosmo's mono repo. It also implements faster behaviors in some respects. The following programs are also introduced, which aren't as interesting. The main reason why they're here is so Cosmopolitan's mono repo shall be able to remove build/bootstrap/ in future editions. That way we can keep build utilities better up to date, without bloating the git history much - `chmod.ape` for hermeticity - `cp.ape` for hermeticity - `echo.ape` for hermeticity - `objbincopy` is an objcopy-like tool that's used to build ape loader - `package.ape` is used for strict dependency checking of object graph - `rm.ape` for hermeticity - `touch.ape` for hermeticity
