win32: add FAST_FUNC annotations

2026-05-04T10:51:00+00:00

I've been far too lax in applying FAST_FUNC annotations. These can make function calls smaller and faster, but only on 32-bit systems and for non-static, non-variadic functions with non-void arguments. Saves 4680 bytes in the 32-bit build; 64-bit builds are unaffected.

crond: build tweaks

2026-05-03T09:52:29+00:00

Using 'depends on FEATURE_SYSLOG' is unreliable because FEATURE_SYSLOG can't be set directly. A POSIX build with all applets that need syslog disabled *except* crond may fail. Revert to using 'select FEATURE_SYSLOG' in crond and exclude the unused syslog code on Windows. If crond is unable to run sendmail report this in the error message. Update all default Windows configurations. (GitHub PR #561)

win32: improve urandom/zero device handling

2026-04-26T19:49:26+00:00

Rearrange the code to avoid a superfluous process creation. Saves 16 bytes in the 64-bit build, adds 24 in the 32-bit.

wget: allow HTTPS certificate check to be skipped

2026-04-24T07:43:59+00:00

The Microsoft Windows Schannel implementation of TLS validates the server certificate. Enable the --no-check-certificate option to wget to allow these checks to be skipped. This may be useful to connect to badly configured websites. Adds 202 bytes to the x86_64 build with Schannel enabled. (GitHub issue #581)

ash: allow 'times' built-in to report process timing

2026-04-12T10:49:29+00:00

Move existing code which obtains process execution times into a separate function. Use it to allow times(2) to report execution times for the current process, though not child execution times. Change TICKS_PER_SECOND from 100 to 1000 to increase the displayed resolution of process times (though the measured resolution may well be less than this). Adds 48-80 bytes. (GitHub issue #574)

ash: allow execution of busybox-w32 binary without extension

2026-02-25T09:33:36+00:00

If the busybox-w32 binary didn't have an extension the shell was unable to spawn itself: $ ls -l busybox -rwxrwxr-x 1 rmy rmy 661006 Feb 25 09:37 busybox $ ./busybox sh $ ls sh: unable to spawn shell This happened because the shell used spawnve() from the C runtime to execute itself. Microsoft insists on trying to add an extension to the name of the binary unless it has an explicit '.' as its last character. Use the internal spawnveq() instead, as it handles various quirks like the above. Adds 16-32 bytes. (GitHub issue #566)
