Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2012-04-01	More code cleanup.	Pixel

2012-04-01	The TaskEvent wasn't thread-safe.	Pixel

2011-12-11	Added the ability for a task or an operation to yield. Also optimized some ↵	Pixel
	bits of the TaskManager.
2011-12-04	Reworked some things in the architecture, mainly exceptions and asserts.	Pixel
	-) Removed Assert() -) Added AAssert(), IAssert(), RAssert(), TAssert() and Failure() -) Reworked all asserts in the code, and added meaningful messages to them. -) Changed the way the startup code is generated; BALAU_STARTUP is no longer necessary.
2011-11-17	Cleaning some code, redesigning a bit the stack allocation problem from the ↵	Pixel
	task manager, and actually implementing it properly.
2011-11-17	Introducing the fact we need a more efficient stack allocator, and that it's ↵	Pixel
	to be performed from the task manager.
2011-11-17	Since tasks can be on different task managers, one has to signal them a bit ↵	Pixel
	differently.
2011-11-16	Kind of a big revamp of the TaskMan / Task model, in order to introduce a ↵	Pixel
	TaskScheduler. The idea is that we need to support multiple task managers from multiple threads. So that revamp means we now should be able to support that, except the TaskScheduler needs to implement a round robin system, to distribute tasks across multiple task managers. But at least, the fundamental redesign to permit this is here.
2011-11-15	Moving the static yield from Task.h to Task.cc. You don't want to throw an ↵	Pixel
	exception from a .h file...
2011-10-18	libcoro seems to be doing really spurious things when not using the standard ↵	Pixel
	functions. Switching out libcoro for the native Fibers interface for Win32. Switching out the asm version for the ucontext version for Linux.
2011-10-17	Adding the Async event, and tweaking the others a bit.	Pixel

2011-10-17	Removing the 'non-preemptible' madness before it could even be used.	Pixel

2011-10-17	Adding an early version of the 'engine debug' facility.	Pixel

2011-10-14	Further tweaks to the Task class: now a Task can declare being smart, and ↵	Pixel
	say it's okay to get a EAgain exception, if the operation is interruptible.
2011-10-14	Tweaking the Task class a bit.	Pixel
	-) setPreemptible now returns the previous state -) Events may now not have an owner -) Events may now have a callback (even though it still needs an owner to get into the ev_loop, for these kind of watchers...) TODO: -) think about a way to start a watcher without requireing a Task -) add a few more things in the Tasks unit tests
2011-10-14	Making sure that external task yields are able to complete their subactions. ↵	Pixel
	Hence removing a few now unnecessary asserts.
2011-10-14	The tasks can now set themselves to be non-preemptible. Also implemented a ↵	Pixel
	mechanism to re-arm an event.
2011-10-10	Adding the basic "Handle" structure, and adding an early version of Input.	Pixel
	Renamed suspend() to yield(). Fixed a couple of bugs, and reorganized slightly some code.
2011-10-09	Starting to integrate libev; timer event works.	Pixel

2011-10-09	More work on the Task manager.	Pixel
	Now "Main" is a Task, among the most important changes. Introduced the notion of Events, and managed a coherent task switch. Also, renamed a lot of the variables to have a more coherent naming scheme.
2011-10-07	More work in the Task manager.	Pixel
	Also fixing a few bugs linked with the printer and TLS. Removed flto from compilation flags: this actually creates bad code (!)
2011-10-07	Preliminary work for the Task manager.	Pixel
	Added libcoro submodule. Also refactored some pieces of code.
