- Don't test for '\\' in u3_unix_safe. Doing otherwise was crashing vere
when unmounting a mountpoint that had come to contain a file with '\\'
in its path. This might mean you can do bad things on Windows if other
checks fail.
- Ignore any files whose names do not pass `(sane %ta)` when scanning
directories. (This reimplements `(sane %ta)` in C. Perhaps it should
instead call `(sane %ta)`.)
- Use '~.' rather than '~' for the escape. We ignore files that end in
'~', probably for vim backup-file reasons.
- Add a _unix_string_to_knot missed in the prior conversion.
unix cannot represent the file with empty name, and it has special
mappings for '.' and '..'. as these three are all valid arvo `+knot`s,
we need to escape them if we come across them.
the method we use to escape is: if we encounter any of those three
`+knot`s, or any `+knot` starting with '~', we prepend its filename with
a '~'. and when going from filename to `+knot`, we do the reverse; i.e.
we ignore a '~' if it is the first character of a filename.
the current implementation just crashes if it encounters a `+knot`
containing '/' or '\\', neither of which are valid under the current
implementation of `@ta` (which only accepts numbers, lowercase, '-',
'~', '.', and '_'.)
it also crashes if it encounters a file containing '\\'. something else
should happen here; most likely vere should just ignore the file.
Fallback to the default happens in dawn.c, which correctly points to
roller.urbit.org, an endpoint that matches its request/response logic.
Continuing to use an Ethereum endpoint instead of an L2 one will just result
in 400s, since they don't speak the same language.
On M1 Macs, the compiler seems to infinite-loop, consuming ever more RAM
and CPU, while trying to build `noun/allocate.c` with `-O3 -g`. `-O3` is
fine, `-g` is fine. Both at once seems to try to summon demons.
Other possible solutions aside from this:
- try lower levels of optimization until we find one that doesn't hang,
and ship that.
- do not support M1 Mac until the underlying issue here is fixed.
- ship debug binaries on M1 for now.
The path of least resistance is of course the second option, as that's
what is already tacitly happening.
This seems to be what nix settled on.
(As of now, I can build urbit on M1 Mac with stock nix. nix-build -A
urbit hangs for some reason, but nix-shell ./configure && make works.)
