-We are pleased to announce the availability of a new snapshot of
-Pthreads-win32, an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard for Microsoft's
-Win32 environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also
-supported including semaphores. Other related functions include
-the set of read-write lock functions.
-
-Parts of the implementation also comply with the Open Group's
-Single Unix specification for compatibility with major Unix
-implementations and Linux.
-
-Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser
-General Public License (LGPL).
-
-Please see the 'Acknowledgements' section at the end of this
-announcement for the list of contributors.

-
--------------------------------
-Changes since the last snapshot
--------------------------------
-
-Cleanup code default style. (IMPORTANT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Previously, if not defined, the cleanup style was determined automatically
-from the compiler/language, and one of the following was defined accordingly:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH MSVC only
- __CLEANUP_CXX C++, including MSVC++, GNU G++
- __CLEANUP_C C, including GNU GCC, not MSVC
-
-These defines determine the style of cleanup (see pthread.h) and,
-most importantly, the way that cancelation and thread exit (via
-pthread_exit) is performed (see the routine ptw32_throw() in private.c).
-
-In short, the exceptions versions of the library throw an exception
-when a thread is canceled or exits (via pthread_exit()), which is
-caught by a handler in the thread startup routine, so that the
-the correct stack unwinding occurs regardless of where the thread
-is when it's canceled or exits via pthread_exit().
-
-In this and future snapshots, unless the build explicitly defines (e.g.
-via a compiler option) __CLEANUP_SEH, __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then
-the build NOW always defaults to __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style
-uses setjmp/longjmp in the cancelation and pthread_exit implementations,
-and therefore won't do stack unwinding even when linked to applications
-that have it (e.g. C++ apps). This is for consistency with most
-current commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations. Compaq's TRU64
-may be an exception (no pun intended) and possible future trend.
-
-Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to
-build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was
-used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the
-correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible
-defines require the following library versions:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll
- __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll
- __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll
-
-E.g. regardless of whether your app is C or C++, if you link with
-pthreadVC.lib or libpthreadGC.a, then you must define __CLEANUP_C.
-
-
-THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these
-explicitly, then the defaults as described at the top of this
-section were being used.
-
-THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above, but to try to make this
-clearer here's an example:
-
-If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++
-exceptions and not explicitly defining one of __CLEANUP_*, then
-__CLEANUP_C++ was automatically defined for you in pthread.h.
-You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does
-stack unwinding.
-
-If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now
-automatically set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to
-link with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a thread
-is canceled, or the thread calls pthread_exit().
-
-Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous
-versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that locally
-instantiated objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread
-is canceled.
-
-If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define
-__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with
-pthreadVCE.dll as you did before.
-
-
-WHY ARE WE MAKING THE DEFAULT STYLE LESS EXCEPTION-FRIENDLY?
-Because no commercial Unix POSIX threads implementation allows you to
-choose to have stack unwinding. Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32
-as a default is dangerous. We still provide the choice but unless
-you consciously choose to do otherwise, your pthreads applications will
-now run or crash in similar ways irrespective of the threads platform
-you use. Or at least this is the hope.
-
-
-WHY NOT REMOVE THE EXCEPTIONS VERSIONS OF THE LIBRARY ALTOGETHER?
-There are a few reasons:
-- because there are well respected POSIX threads people who believe
- that POSIX threads implementations should be exceptions aware and
- do the expected thing in that context. (There are equally respected
- people who believe it should not be easily accessible, if it's there
- at all, for unconditional conformity to other implementations.)
-- because pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations that has
- the choice, perhaps the only freely available one, and so offers
- a laboratory to people who may want to explore the effects;
-- although the code will always be around somewhere for anyone who
- wants it, once it's removed from the current version it will not be
- nearly as visible to people who may have a use for it.
-
-Source module splitting
------------------------
-In order to enable smaller image sizes to be generated
-for applications that link statically with the library,
-most routines have been separated out into individual
-source code files.
-
-This is being done in such a way as to be backward compatible.
-The old source files are reused to congregate the individual
-routine files into larger translation units (via a bunch of
-# includes) so that the compiler can still optimise wherever
-possible, e.g. through inlining, which can only be done
-within the same translation unit.
-
-It is also possible to build the entire library by compiling
-the single file named "pthread.c", which just #includes all
-the secondary congregation source files. The compiler
-may be able to use this to do more inlining of routines.
-
-Although the GNU compiler is able to produce libraries with
-the necessary separation (the -ffunction-segments switch),
-AFAIK, the MSVC and other compilers don't have this feature.
-
-Finally, since I use makefiles and command-line compilation,
-I don't know what havoc this reorganisation may wreak amongst
-IDE project file users. You should be able to continue
-using your existing project files without modification.
-
-New non-portable function
--------------------------
-pthread_num_processors_np(): Returns the number of processors
-in the system that are available to the process, as determined
-from the processor affinity mask.
-
-Platform dependence
--------------------
-As Win95 doesn't provide one, the library now contains
-it's own InterlockedCompareExchange() routine, which is used
-whenever Windows doesn't provide it. InterlockedCompareExchange()
-is used to implement spinlocks and barriers, and also in mutexes.
-This routine relies on the CMPXCHG machine instruction which
-is not available on i386 CPUs. This library (from snapshot
-20010712 onwards) is therefore no longer supported on i386
-processor platforms.
-
-New routines
-------------
-For source code portability only - rwlocks cannot be process shared yet.
- pthread_rwlockattr_init()
- pthread_rwlockattr_destroy()
- pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared()
- pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared()
-
-As defined in the new POSIX standard, and the Single Unix Spec version 3:
- sem_timedwait()
- pthread_mutex_timedlock()
-
-pthread.h no longer includes windows.h
---------------------------------------
-[Not yet for G++]
-
-This was done to prevent conflicts.
-
-HANDLE, DWORD, and NULL are temporarily defined within pthread.h if
-they are not already.
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-* Fixed potential NULL pointer dereferences in pthread_mutexattr_init,
-pthread_mutexattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_init,
-pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, and pthread_condattr_getpshared.
-- Scott McCaskill <scott@magruder.org>
-
-* Removed potential race condition in pthread_mutex_trylock and
-pthread_mutex_lock;
-- Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
-* The behaviour of pthread_mutex_trylock in relation to
-recursive mutexes was inconsistent with commercial implementations.
-Trylock would return EBUSY if the lock was owned already by the
-calling thread regardless of mutex type. Trylock now increments the
-recursion count and returns 0 for RECURSIVE mutexes, and will
-return EDEADLK rather than EBUSY for ERRORCHECK mutexes. This is
-consistent with Solaris.
-- Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>
-
-* Found a fix for the library and workaround for applications for
-the known bug #2, i.e. where __CLEANUP_CXX or __CLEANUP_SEH is defined.
-See the "Known Bugs in this snapshot" section below.
-
-This could be made transparent to applications by replacing the macros that
-define the current C++ and SEH versions of pthread_cleanup_push/pop
-with the C version, but AFAIK cleanup handlers would not then run in the
-correct sequence with destructors and exception cleanup handlers when
-an exception occurs.
-
-* Cancelation once started in a thread cannot now be inadvertantly
-double canceled. That is, once a thread begins it's cancelation run,
-cancelation is disabled and a subsequent cancel request will
-return an error (ESRCH).
-
-
----------------------------
-Known bugs in this snapshot
----------------------------
-
-1. Under MS VC++ (only tested with version 6.0), a term_func
- set via the standard C++ set_terminate() function is not called
- for some reason. The code in private.c ptw32_threadStart()
- retrieves and calls the user supplied terminate routine, which
- works as expected under MinGW32 g++, but doesn't run under
- MS VC++ 6.0, presumably because set_terminate() returns NULL.
-
-2. Cancellation problems in optimised code
- - Milan Gardian
-
- Workaround [rpj - 2 Feb 2002]
- -----------------------------
- The problem disappears when /Ob0 is used, i.e. /O2 /Ob0 works OK,
- but if you want to use inlining optimisation you can be much more
- specific about where it's switched off and on by using a pragma.
-
- So the inlining optimisation is interfering with the way that cleanup
- handlers are run. It appears to relate to auto-inlining of class methods
- since this is the only auto inlining that is performed at /O1 optimisation
- (functions with the "inline" qualifier are also inlined, but the problem
- doesn't appear to involve any such functions in the library or testsuite).
-
- In order to confirm the inlining culprit, the following use of pragmas
- eliminate the problem but I don't know how to make it transparent, putting
- it in, say, pthread.h where pthread_cleanup_push defined as a macro.
-
- #pragma inline_depth(0)
- pthread_cleanup_push(handlerFunc, (void *) &arg);
-
- /* ... */
-
- pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
- #pragma inline_depth()
-
- Note the empty () value after the pop macro. This resets depth to the
- default. Or you can specify a non-zero depth here.
-
- The pragma is also needed (and now used) within the library itself wherever
- cleanup handlers are used (condvar.c and rwlock.c).
-
- Use of these pragmas allows compiler optimisations /O1 and /O2 to be
- used for either or both the library and applications.
-
- Experimenting further, I found that wrapping the actual cleanup handler
- function with #pragma auto_inline(off|on) does NOT work.
-
- MSVC6.0 doesn't appear to support the C99 standard's _Pragma directive,
- however, later versions may. This form is embeddable inside #define
- macros, which would be ideal because it would mean that it could be added
- to the push/pop macro definitions in pthread.h and hidden from the
- application programmer.
-

-
- Original problem description
- ----------------------------
-
- The cancellation (actually, cleanup-after-cancel) tests fail when using VC
- (professional) optimisation switches (/O1 or /O2) in pthreads library. I
- have not investigated which concrete optimisation technique causes this
- problem (/Og, /Oi, /Ot, /Oy, /Ob1, /Gs, /Gf, /Gy, etc.), but here is a
- summary of builds and corresponding failures:
-
- * pthreads VSE (optimised tests): OK
- * pthreads VCE (optimised tests): Failed "cleanup1" test (runtime)
-
- * pthreads VSE (DLL in CRT, optimised tests): OK
- * pthreads VCE (DLL in CRT, optimised tests): Failed "cleanup1" test
- (runtime)
-
- Please note that while in VSE version of the pthreads library the
- optimisation does not really have any impact on the tests (they pass OK), in
- VCE version addition of optimisation (/O2 in this case) causes the tests to
- fail uniformly - either in "cleanup0" or "cleanup1" test cases.
-
- Please note that all the tests above use default pthreads DLL (no
- optimisations, linked with either static or DLL CRT, based on test type).
- Therefore the problem lies not within the pthreads DLL but within the
- compiled client code (the application using pthreads -> involvement of
- "pthread.h").
-
- I think the message of this section is that usage of VCE version of pthreads
- in applications relying on cancellation/cleanup AND using optimisations for
- creation of production code is highly unreliable for the current version of
- the pthreads library.
-
-
-Caveats
--------
-
-1. Due to what is believed to be a C++ compliance error in VC++,
-if your application contains catch(...) blocks in your POSIX threads
-then you will need to replace the "catch(...)" with the macro
-"PtW32Catch", eg.
-
- #ifdef PtW32Catch
- PtW32Catch {
- ...
- }
- #else
- catch(...) {
- ...
- }
- #endif
-
-Otherwise neither pthreads cancelation nor pthread_exit() will work
-reliably.

This is for consistency with most +current commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations. Compaq's TRU64 +may be an exception (no pun intended) and possible future trend. + +Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to +build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was +used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the +correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible +defines require the following library versions: + + __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll + __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll + __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll + +E.g. regardless of whether your app is C or C++, if you link with +pthreadVC.lib or libpthreadGC.a, then you must define __CLEANUP_C. + + +THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these +explicitly, then the defaults as described at the top of this +section were being used. + +THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above, but to try to make this +clearer here's an example: + +If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++ +exceptions and not explicitly defining one of __CLEANUP_*, then +__CLEANUP_C++ was automatically defined for you in pthread.h. +You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does +stack unwinding. + +If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now +automatically set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to +link with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a thread +is canceled, or the thread calls pthread_exit(). + +Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous +versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that locally +instantiated objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread +is canceled. + +If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define +__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with +pthreadVCE.dll as you did before. + + +WHY ARE WE MAKING THE DEFAULT STYLE LESS EXCEPTION-FRIENDLY? +Because no commercial Unix POSIX threads implementation allows you to +choose to have stack unwinding. Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32 +as a default is dangerous. We still provide the choice but unless +you consciously choose to do otherwise, your pthreads applications will +now run or crash in similar ways irrespective of the threads platform +you use. Or at least this is the hope. + + +WHY NOT REMOVE THE EXCEPTIONS VERSIONS OF THE LIBRARY ALTOGETHER? +There are a few reasons: +- because there are well respected POSIX threads people who believe + that POSIX threads implementations should be exceptions aware and + do the expected thing in that context. (There are equally respected + people who believe it should not be easily accessible, if it's there + at all, for unconditional conformity to other implementations.) +- because pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations that has + the choice, perhaps the only freely available one, and so offers + a laboratory to people who may want to explore the effects; +- although the code will always be around somewhere for anyone who + wants it, once it's removed from the current version it will not be + nearly as visible to people who may have a use for it. + +Source module splitting +----------------------- +In order to enable smaller image sizes to be generated +for applications that link statically with the library, +most routines have been separated out into individual +source code files. + +This is being done in such a way as to be backward compatible. +The old source files are reused to congregate the individual +routine files into larger translation units (via a bunch of +# includes) so that the compiler can still optimise wherever +possible, e.g. through inlining, which can only be done +within the same translation unit. + +It is also possible to build the entire library by compiling +the single file named "pthread.c", which just #includes all +the secondary congregation source files. The compiler +may be able to use this to do more inlining of routines. + +Although the GNU compiler is able to produce libraries with +the necessary separation (the -ffunction-segments switch), +AFAIK, the MSVC and other compilers don't have this feature. + +Finally, since I use makefiles and command-line compilation, +I don't know what havoc this reorganisation may wreak amongst +IDE project file users. You should be able to continue +using your existing project files without modification. + +New non-portable function +------------------------- +pthread_num_processors_np(): Returns the number of processors +in the system that are available to the process, as determined +from the processor affinity mask. + +Platform dependence +------------------- +As Win95 doesn't provide one, the library now contains +it's own InterlockedCompareExchange() routine, which is used +whenever Windows doesn't provide it. InterlockedCompareExchange() +is used to implement spinlocks and barriers, and also in mutexes. +This routine relies on the CMPXCHG machine instruction which +is not available on i386 CPUs. This library (from snapshot +20010712 onwards) is therefore no longer supported on i386 +processor platforms. + +New routines +------------ +For source code portability only - rwlocks cannot be process shared yet. + pthread_rwlockattr_init() + pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() + pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() + pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() + +As defined in the new POSIX standard, and the Single Unix Spec version 3: + sem_timedwait() + pthread_mutex_timedlock() + +pthread.h no longer includes windows.h +-------------------------------------- +[Not yet for G++] + +This was done to prevent conflicts. + +HANDLE, DWORD, and NULL are temporarily defined within pthread.h if +they are not already. + +Bug fixes +--------- +* Fixed potential NULL pointer dereferences in pthread_mutexattr_init, +pthread_mutexattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_init, +pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, and pthread_condattr_getpshared. +- Scott McCaskill <scott@magruder.org> + +* Removed potential race condition in pthread_mutex_trylock and +pthread_mutex_lock; +- Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com> + +* The behaviour of pthread_mutex_trylock in relation to +recursive mutexes was inconsistent with commercial implementations. +Trylock would return EBUSY if the lock was owned already by the +calling thread regardless of mutex type. Trylock now increments the +recursion count and returns 0 for RECURSIVE mutexes, and will +return EDEADLK rather than EBUSY for ERRORCHECK mutexes. This is +consistent with Solaris. +- Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net> + +* Found a fix for the library and workaround for applications for +the known bug #2, i.e. where __CLEANUP_CXX or __CLEANUP_SEH is defined. +See the "Known Bugs in this snapshot" section below. + +This could be made transparent to applications by replacing the macros that +define the current C++ and SEH versions of pthread_cleanup_push/pop +with the C version, but AFAIK cleanup handlers would not then run in the +correct sequence with destructors and exception cleanup handlers when +an exception occurs. + +* Cancelation once started in a thread cannot now be inadvertantly +double canceled. That is, once a thread begins it's cancelation run, +cancelation is disabled and a subsequent cancel request will +return an error (ESRCH). + + +--------------------------- +Known bugs in this snapshot +--------------------------- + +1. Under MS VC++ (only tested with version 6.0), a term_func + set via the standard C++ set_terminate() function is not called + for some reason. The code in private.c ptw32_threadStart() + retrieves and calls the user supplied terminate routine, which + works as expected under MinGW32 g++, but doesn't run under + MS VC++ 6.0, presumably because set_terminate() returns NULL. + +2. Cancellation problems in optimised code + - Milan Gardian + + Workaround [rpj - 2 Feb 2002] + ----------------------------- + The problem disappears when /Ob0 is used, i.e. /O2 /Ob0 works OK, + but if you want to use inlining optimisation you can be much more + specific about where it's switched off and on by using a pragma. + + So the inlining optimisation is interfering with the way that cleanup + handlers are run. It appears to relate to auto-inlining of class methods + since this is the only auto inlining that is performed at /O1 optimisation + (functions with the "inline" qualifier are also inlined, but the problem + doesn't appear to involve any such functions in the library or testsuite). + + In order to confirm the inlining culprit, the following use of pragmas + eliminate the problem but I don't know how to make it transparent, putting + it in, say, pthread.h where pthread_cleanup_push defined as a macro. + + #pragma inline_depth(0) + pthread_cleanup_push(handlerFunc, (void *) &arg); + + /* ... */ + + pthread_cleanup_pop(0); + #pragma inline_depth() + + Note the empty () value after the pop macro. This resets depth to the + default. Or you can specify a non-zero depth here. + + The pragma is also needed (and now used) within the library itself wherever + cleanup handlers are used (condvar.c and rwlock.c). + + Use of these pragmas allows compiler optimisations /O1 and /O2 to be + used for either or both the library and applications. + + Experimenting further, I found that wrapping the actual cleanup handler + function with #pragma auto_inline(off|on) does NOT work. + + MSVC6.0 doesn't appear to support the C99 standard's _Pragma directive, + however, later versions may. This form is embeddable inside #define + macros, which would be ideal because it would mean that it could be added + to the push/pop macro definitions in pthread.h and hidden from the + application programmer. + + [/rpj] + + Original problem description + ---------------------------- + + The cancellation (actually, cleanup-after-cancel) tests fail when using VC + (professional) optimisation switches (/O1 or /O2) in pthreads library. I + have not investigated which concrete optimisation technique causes this + problem (/Og, /Oi, /Ot, /Oy, /Ob1, /Gs, /Gf, /Gy, etc.), but here is a + summary of builds and corresponding failures: + + * pthreads VSE (optimised tests): OK + * pthreads VCE (optimised tests): Failed "cleanup1" test (runtime) + + * pthreads VSE (DLL in CRT, optimised tests): OK + * pthreads VCE (DLL in CRT, optimised tests): Failed "cleanup1" test + (runtime) + + Please note that while in VSE version of the pthreads library the + optimisation does not really have any impact on the tests (they pass OK), in + VCE version addition of optimisation (/O2 in this case) causes the tests to + fail uniformly - either in "cleanup0" or "cleanup1" test cases. + + Please note that all the tests above use default pthreads DLL (no + optimisations, linked with either static or DLL CRT, based on test type). + Therefore the problem lies not within the pthreads DLL but within the + compiled client code (the application using pthreads -> involvement of + "pthread.h"). + + I think the message of this section is that usage of VCE version of pthreads + in applications relying on cancellation/cleanup AND using optimisations for + creation of production code is highly unreliable for the current version of + the pthreads library. + + +Caveats +------- + +1. Due to what is believed to be a C++ compliance error in VC++, +if your application contains catch(...) blocks in your POSIX threads +then you will need to replace the "catch(...)" with the macro +"PtW32Catch", eg. + + #ifdef PtW32Catch + PtW32Catch { + ... + } + #else + catch(...) { + ... + } + #endif + +Otherwise neither pthreads cancelation nor pthread_exit() will work +reliably. + + +Level of standards conformance +------------------------------ + +The following POSIX 1003.1c/1b/1j options are defined: + + _POSIX_THREADS + _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS + _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKSIZE + _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING + _POSIX_SEMAPHORES + _POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS + _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS + _POSIX_BARRIERS + + +The following POSIX 1003.1c options are not defined: + + _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKADDR + _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT + _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT + _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED + + +The following functions are implemented: + + --------------------------- + PThreads + --------------------------- + pthread_attr_init + pthread_attr_destroy + pthread_attr_getdetachstate + pthread_attr_getstackaddr + pthread_attr_getstacksize + pthread_attr_setdetachstate + pthread_attr_setstackaddr + pthread_attr_setstacksize + + pthread_create + pthread_detach + pthread_equal + pthread_exit + pthread_join + pthread_once + pthread_self + + pthread_cancel + pthread_cleanup_pop + pthread_cleanup_push + pthread_setcancelstate + pthread_setcanceltype + pthread_testcancel + + --------------------------- + Thread Specific Data + --------------------------- + pthread_key_create + pthread_key_delete + pthread_setspecific + pthread_getspecific + + --------------------------- + Mutexes + --------------------------- + pthread_mutexattr_init + pthread_mutexattr_destroy + pthread_mutexattr_getpshared + pthread_mutexattr_setpshared + pthread_mutexattr_gettype + pthread_mutexattr_settype (types: PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT + PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL + PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK + PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE ) + pthread_mutex_init + pthread_mutex_destroy + pthread_mutex_lock + pthread_mutex_trylock + pthread_mutex_timedlock + pthread_mutex_unlock + + --------------------------- + Condition Variables + --------------------------- + pthread_condattr_init + pthread_condattr_destroy + pthread_condattr_getpshared + pthread_condattr_setpshared + + pthread_cond_init + pthread_cond_destroy + pthread_cond_wait + pthread_cond_timedwait + pthread_cond_signal + pthread_cond_broadcast + + --------------------------- + Read/Write Locks -

- * pthread.c: Agregation of agregate modules for super-inlineability.
-
-2002-02-02 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * cancel.c: Rearranged some code and introduced checks
- to disable cancelation at the start of a thread's cancelation
- run to prevent double cancelation. The main problem
- arises if a thread is canceling and then receives a subsequent
- async cancel request.
- * private.c: Likewise.
- * condvar.c: Place pragmas around cleanup_push/pop to turn
- off inline optimisation (/Obn where n>0 - MSVC only). Various
- optimisation switches in MSVC turn this on, which interferes with
- the way that cleanup handlers are run in C++ EH and SEH
- code. Application code compiled with inline optimisation must
- also wrap cleanup_push/pop blocks with the pragmas, e.g.
- #pragma inline_depth(0)
- pthread_cleanup_push(...)
- ...
- pthread_cleanup_pop(...)
- #pragma inline_depth(8)
- * rwlock.c: Likewise.
- * mutex.c: Remove attempts to inline some functions.
- * signal.c: Modify misleading comment.
-
-2002-02-01 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * semaphore.c (sem_trywait): Fix missing errno return
- for systems that define NEED_SEM (e.g. early WinCE).
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_timedlock): Return ENOTSUP
- for systems that define NEED_SEM since they don't
- have sem_trywait().
-
-2002-01-27 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_timedlock): New function suggested by
- Alexander Terekhov. The logic required to implement this
- properly came from Alexander, with some collaboration
- with Thomas Pfaff.
- (pthread_mutex_unlock): Wrap the waiters check and sema
- post in a critical section to prevent a race with
- pthread_mutex_timedlock.
- (ptw32_timed_semwait): New function;
- returns a special result if the absolute timeout parameter
- represents a time already passed when called; used by
- pthread_mutex_timedwait(). Have deliberately not reused
- the name "ptw32_sem_timedwait" because they are not the same
- routine.
- * condvar.c (ptw32_cond_timedwait): Use the new sem_timedwait()
- instead of ptw32_sem_timedwait(), which now has a different
- function. See previous.
- * implement.h: Remove prototype for ptw32_sem_timedwait.
- See next.
- (pthread_mutex_t_): Add critical section element for access
- to lock_idx during mutex post-timeout processing.
- * semaphore.h (sem_timedwait): See next.
- * semaphore.c (sem_timedwait): See next.
- * private.c (ptw32_sem_timedwait): Move to semaphore.c
- and rename as sem_timedwait().
-
-2002-01-18 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * sync.c (pthread_join): Was getting the exit code from the
- calling thread rather than the joined thread if
- defined(__MINGW32__) && !defined(__MSVCRT__).
-
-2002-01-15 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h: Unless the build explicitly defines __CLEANUP_SEH,
- __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then the build defaults to
- __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style uses setjmp/longjmp
- in the cancelation and thread exit implementations and therefore
- won't do stack unwinding if linked to applications that have it
- (e.g. C++ apps). This is currently consistent with most/all
- commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations.
-
- * spin.c (pthread_spin_init): Edit renamed function call.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_num_processors_np): New.
- (pthread_getprocessors_np): Renamed to ptw32_getprocessors
- and moved to private.c.
- * private.c (pthread_getprocessors): Moved here from
- nonportable.c.
- * pthread.def (pthread_getprocessors_np): Removed
- from export list.
-
- * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlockattr_init): New.
- (pthread_rwlockattr_destroy): New.
- (pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared): New.
- (pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared): New.
-
-2002-01-14 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>

- * attr.c (pthread_attr_setscope): Fix struct pointer
- indirection error introduced 2002-01-04.
- (pthread_attr_getscope): Likewise.
-
-2002-01-12 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.dsp (SOURCE): Add missing source files.
-
-2002-01-08 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_trylock): use
- ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange function pointer
- rather than ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange() directly
- to retain portability to non-iX86 processors,
- e.g. WinCE etc. The pointer will point to the native
- OS version of InterlockedCompareExchange() if the
- OS supports it (see ChangeLog entry of 2001-10-17).
-
-2002-01-07 Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>, Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Remove critical
- section calls.
- (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise; uses
- ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange() to avoid need for
- critical section; library is no longer i386 compatible;
- recursive mutexes now increment the lock count rather
- than return EBUSY; errorcheck mutexes return EDEADLCK
- rather than EBUSY. This behaviour is consistent with the
- Solaris pthreads implementation.
- * implement.h (pthread_mutex_t_): Remove critical
- section element - no longer needed.
-
-
-2002-01-04 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * attr.c (pthread_attr_setscope): Add more error
- checking and actually store the scope value even
- though it's not really necessary.
- (pthread_attr_getscope): Return stored value.
- * implement.h (pthread_attr_t_): Add new scope element.
- * ANNOUNCE: Fix out of date comment next to
- pthread_attr_setscope in conformance section.
-
-2001-12-21 Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Decrementing lock_idx was
- not thread-safe.
- (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
-
-2001-10-26 prionx@juno.com
-
- * semaphore.c (sem_init): Fix typo and missing bracket
- in conditionally compiled code. Only older versions of
- WinCE require this code, hence it doesn't normally get
- tested; somehow when sem_t reverted to an opaque struct
- the calloc NULL check was left in the conditionally included
- section.
- (sem_destroy): Likewise, the calloced sem_t wasn't being freed.
-
-2001-10-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * GNUmakefile (libwsock32): Add to linker flags for
- WSAGetLastError() and WSASetLastError().
- * Makefile (wsock32.lib): Likewise.
- * create.c: Minor mostly inert changes.
- * implement.h (PTW32_MAX): Move into here and renamed
- from sched.h.
- (PTW32_MIN): Likewise.
- * GNUmakefile (TEST_ICE): Define if testing internal
- implementation of InterlockedCompareExchange.
- * Makefile (TEST_ICE): Likewise.
- * private.c (TEST_ICE): Likewise.
-
-2001-10-24 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * attr.c (pthread_attr_setstacksize): Quell warning
- from LCC by conditionally compiling the stacksize
- validity check. LCC correctly warns that the condition
- (stacksize < PTHREAD_STACK_MIN) is suspicious
- because STACK_MIN is 0 and stacksize is of type
- size_t (or unsigned int).
-
-2001-10-17 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Move _LONG and _LPLONG defines into
- implement.h; rename to PTW32_INTERLOCKED_LONG and
- PTW32_INTERLOCKED_LPLONG respectively.
- * spin.c: Likewise; ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange used
- in place of InterlockedCompareExchange directly.
- * global.c (ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange): Add
- prototype for this new routine pointer to be used when
- InterlockedCompareExchange isn't supported by Windows.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np): Check for
- support of InterlockedCompareExchange in kernel32 and assign its
- address to ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange if it exists, or
- our own ix86 specific implementation ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange.
- *private.c (ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange): An
- implementation of InterlockedCompareExchange() which is
- specific to ix86; written directly in assembler for either
- MSVC or GNU C; needed because Windows 95 doesn't support
- InterlockedCompareExchange().
-
- * sched.c (sched_get_priority_min): Extend to return
- THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE.
- (sched_get_priority_max): Extend to return
- THREAD_PRIORITY_CRITICAL.
-
-2001-10-15 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * spin.c (pthread_spin_lock): PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZER
- was causing a program fault.
- (pthread_spin_init): Could have alloced memory
- without freeing under some error conditions.
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Move memory
- allocation of mutex struct after checking for
- PROCESS_SHARED.
-
-2001-10-12 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * spin.c (pthread_spin_unlock): Was not returning
- EPERM if the spinlock was not locked, for multi CPU
- machines.
-
-2001-10-08 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * spin.c (pthread_spin_trylock): Was not returning
- EBUSY for multi CPU machines.
-
-2001-08-24 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * condvar.c (pthread_cond_destroy): Remove cv element
- that is no longer used.
- * implement.h: Likewise.
-
-2001-08-23 Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
- * condvar.c (pthread_cond_destroy): fix bug with
- respect to deadlock in the case of concurrent
- _destroy/_unblock; a condition variable can be destroyed
- immediately after all the threads that are blocked on
- it are awakened.
-
-2001-08-23 Phil Frisbie, Jr. <phil@hawksoft.com>
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_getspecific): Preserve the last
- winsock error [from WSAGetLastError()].
-
-2001-07-18 Scott McCaskill <scott@magruder.org>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_init): Return ENOMEM
- immediately and don't dereference the NULL pointer
- if calloc fails.
- (pthread_mutexattr_getpshared): Don't dereference
- a pointer that is possibly NULL.
- * barrier.c (pthread_barrierattr_init): Likewise
- (pthread_barrierattr_getpshared): Don't dereference
- a pointer that is possibly NULL.
- * condvar.c (pthread_condattr_getpshared): Don't dereference
- a pointer that is possibly NULL.
-
-2001-07-15 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_wrlock): Is allowed to be
- a cancelation point; re-enable deferred cancelability
- around the CV call.
-
-2001-07-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Still more revamping. The exclusive access
- mutex isn't really needed so it has been removed and replaced
- by an InterlockedDecrement(). nSerial has been removed.
- iStep is now dual-purpose. The process shared attribute
- is now stored in the barrier struct.
- * implement.h (pthread_barrier_t_): Lost some/gained one
- elements.
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Removed some comments.
-
-2001-07-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Revamped to fix the race condition. Two alternating
- semaphores are used instead of the PulseEvent. Also improved
- overall throughput by returning PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD
- to the first waking thread.
- * implement.h (pthread_barrier_t_): Revamped.
-
-2001-07-09 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Fix several bugs in all routines. Now passes
- tests/barrier5.c which is fairly rigorous. There is still
- a non-optimal work-around for a race condition between
- the barrier breeched event signal and event wait. Basically
- the last (signalling) thread to hit the barrier yields
- to allow any other threads, which may have lost the race,
- to complete.
-
-2001-07-07 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Changed synchronisation mechanism to a
- Win32 manual reset Event and use PulseEvent to signal
- waiting threads. If the implementation continued to use
- a semaphore it would require a second semaphore and
- some management to use them alternately as barriers. A
- single semaphore allows threads to cascade from one barrier
- through the next, leaving some threads blocked at the first.
- * implement.h (pthread_barrier_t_): As per above.
- * general: Made a number of other routines inlinable.
-
-2001-07-07 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * spin.c: Revamped and working; included static initialiser.
- Now beta level.
- * barrier.c: Likewise.
- * condvar.c: Macro constant change; inline auto init routine.
- * mutex.c: Likewise.
- * rwlock.c: Likewise.
- * private.c: Add support for spinlock initialiser.
- * global.c: Likewise.
- * implement.h: Likewise.
- * pthread.h (PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZER): Fix typo.
-
-2001-07-05 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * barrier.c: Remove static initialisation - irrelevent
- for this object.
- * pthread.h (PTHREAD_BARRIER_INITIALIZER): Removed.
- * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_wrlock): This routine is
- not a cancelation point - disable deferred
- cancelation around call to pthread_cond_wait().
-
-2001-07-05 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * spin.c: New module implementing spin locks.
- * barrier.c: New module implementing barriers.
- * pthread.h (_POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS): defined.
- (_POSIX_BARRIERS): Defined.
- (pthread_spin_*): Defined.
- (pthread_barrier*): Defined.
- (PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD): Defined.
- * implement.h (pthread_spinlock_t_): Defined.
- (pthread_barrier_t_): Defined.
- (pthread_barrierattr_t_): Defined.
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Return with the error
- if an auto-initialiser initialisation fails.
-
- * nonportable.c (pthread_getprocessors_np): New; gets the
- number of available processors for the current process.
-
-2001-07-03 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h (_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS): Define it
- if not already defined.
-
-2001-07-01 Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
- * condvar.c: Fixed lost signal bug reported by Timur Aydin
- (taydin@snet.net).
- [RPJ (me) didn't translate the original algorithm
- correctly.]
- * semaphore.c: Added sem_post_multiple; this is a useful
- routine, but it doesn't appear to be standard. For now it's
- not an exported function.
-
-2001-06-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * create.c (pthread_create): Add priority inheritance
- attributes.
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Remove some overhead for
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutex types. Specifically, avoid
- calling pthread_self() and pthread_equal() to check/set
- the mutex owner. Introduce a new pseudo owner for this
- type. Test results suggest increases in speed of up to
- 90% for non-blocking locks.
- This is the default type of mutex used internally by other
- synchronising objects, ie. condition variables and
- read-write locks. The test rwlock7.c shows about a
- 30-35% speed increase over snapshot 2001-06-06. The
- price of this is that the application developer
- must ensure correct behaviour, or explicitly set the
- mutex to a safer type such as PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
- For example, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL (or PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT)
- type mutexes will not return an error if a thread which is not
- the owner calls pthread_mutex_unlock. The call will succeed
- in unlocking the mutex if it is currently locked, but a
- subsequent unlock by the true owner will then fail with EPERM.
- This is however consistent with some other implementations.
- (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise.
- * attr.c (pthread_attr_init): PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED is the
- default inheritance attribute; THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL is
- the default priority for new threads.
- * sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedpolicy): Added routine.
- (pthread_attr_getschedpolicy): Added routine.
- (pthread_attr_setinheritsched): Added routine.
- (pthread_attr_getinheritsched): Added routine.
- * pthread.h (sched_rr_set_interval): Added as a macro;
- returns -1 with errno set to ENOSYS.
-
-2001-06-23 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- *sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedparam): Add priority range
- check.
- (sched_setscheduler): New function; checks for a valid
- pid and policy; checks for permission to set information
- in the target process; expects pid to be a Win32 process ID,
- not a process handle; the only scheduler policy allowed is
- SCHED_OTHER.
- (sched_getscheduler): Likewise, but checks for permission
- to query.
- * pthread.h (SCHED_*): Moved to sched.h as defined in the
- POSIX standard.
- * sched.h (SCHED_*): Moved from pthread.h.
- (pid_t): Defined if necessary.
- (sched_setscheduler): Defined.
- (sched_getscheduler): Defined.
- * pthread.def (sched_setscheduler): Exported.
- (sched_getscheduler): Likewise.
-
-2001-06-23 Ralf Brese <Ralf.Brese@pdb4.siemens.de>
-
- * create.c (pthread_create): Set thread priority from
- thread attributes.
-
-2001-06-18 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * Made organisational-only changes to UWIN additions.
- * dll.c (dllMain): Moved UWIN process attach code
- to pthread_win32_process_attach_np(); moved
- instance of pthread_count to global.c.
- * global.c (pthread_count): Moved from dll.c.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np):
- Moved _UWIN code to here from dll.c.
- * implement.h (pthread_count): Define extern int.
- * create.c (pthread_count): Remove extern int.
- * private.c (pthread_count): Likewise.
- * exit.c (pthread_count): Likewise.
-
-2001-06-18 David Korn <dgk@research.att.com>
-
- * dll.c: Added changes necessary to work with UWIN.
- * create.c: Likewise.
- * pthread.h: Likewise.
- * misc.c: Likewise.
- * exit.c: Likewise.
- * private.c: Likewise.
- * implement.h: Likewise.
- There is some room at the start of struct pthread_t_
- to implement the signal semantics in UWIN's posix.dll
- although this is not yet complete.
- * Nmakefile: Compatible with UWIN's Nmake utility.
- * Nmakefile.tests: Likewise - for running the tests.
-
-2001-06-08 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * semaphore.h (sem_t): Fixed for compile and test.
- * implement.h (sem_t_): Likewise.

- * private.c (ptw32_sem_timedwait): Updated to use new
- opaque sem_t.
-
-2001-06-06 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * semaphore.h (sem_t): Is now an opaque pointer;
- moved actual definition to implement.h.
- * implement.h (sem_t_): Move here from semaphore.h;
- was the definition of sem_t.
- * semaphore.c: Wherever necessary, changed use of sem
- from that of a pointer to a pointer-pointer; added
- extra checks for a valid sem_t; NULL sem_t when
- it is destroyed; added extra checks when creating
- and destroying sem_t elements in the NEED_SEM
- code branches; changed from using a pthread_mutex_t
- ((*sem)->mutex) to CRITICAL_SECTION ((*sem)->sem_lock_cs)
- in NEED_SEM branches for access serialisation.
-
-2001-06-06 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_init): Remove
- ptw32_mutex_default_kind.
-
-2001-06-05 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * nonportable.c (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np):
- Remove - should not have been included in the first place.
- (pthread_mutex_getdefaultkind_np): Likewise.
- * global.c (ptw32_mutex_default_kind): Likewise.
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Remove use of
- ptw32_mutex_default_kind.
- * pthread.h (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_getdefaultkind_np): Likewise.
- * pthread.def (pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np): Added.
- (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): Likewise.
-
- * README: Many changes that should have gone in before
- the last snapshot.
- * README.NONPORTABLE: New - referred to by ANNOUNCE
- but never created; documents the non-portable routines
- included in the library - moved from README with new
- routines added.
- * ANNOUNCE (pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np): Added to
- compliance list.
- (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): Likewise.
-
-2001-06-04 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * condvar.c: Add original description of the algorithm as
- developed by Terekhov and Thomas, plus reference to
- README.CV.
-
-2001-06-03 Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>, Louis Thomas <lthomas@arbitrade.com>
-
- * condvar.c (pthread_cond_init): Completely revamped.
- (pthread_cond_destroy): Likewise.
- (ptw32_cond_wait_cleanup): Likewise.
- (ptw32_cond_timedwait): Likewise.
- (ptw32_cond_unblock): New general signaling routine.
- (pthread_cond_signal): Now calls ptw32_cond_unblock.
- (pthread_cond_broadcast): Likewise.
- * implement.h (pthread_cond_t_): Revamped.
- * README.CV: New; explanation of the above changes.
-
-2001-05-30 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h (rand_r): Fake using _seed argument to quell
- compiler warning (compiler should optimise this away later).
-
- * GNUmakefile (OPT): Leave symbolic information out of the library
- and increase optimisation level - for smaller faster prebuilt
- dlls.
-
-2001-05-29 Milan Gardian <Milan.Gardian@LEIBINGER.com>
-
- * Makefile: fix typo.
- * pthreads.h: Fix problems with stdcall/cdecl conventions, in particular
- remove the need for PT_STDCALL everywhere; remove warning supression.
- * (errno): Fix the longstanding "inconsistent dll linkage" problem
- with errno; now also works with /MD debugging libs -
- warnings emerged when compiling pthreads library with /MD (or /MDd)
- compiler switch, instead of /MT (or /MTd) (i.e. when compiling pthreads
- using Multithreaded DLL CRT instead of Multithreaded statically linked
- CRT).
- * create.c (pthread_create): Likewise; fix typo.
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Eliminate use of terminate() which doesn't
- throw exceptions.
- * Remove unnecessary #includes from a number of modules -
- [I had to #include malloc.h in implement.h for gcc - rpj].
-
-2001-05-29 Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>
-
- * pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT): New; equivalent to
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_NP.
- * (PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL): Similarly.
- * (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK): Similarly.
- * (PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE): Similarly.
- * (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np): New; Linux compatibility stub
- for pthread_mutexattr_settype.
- * (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): New; Linux compatibility stub
- for pthread_mutexattr_gettype.
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_settype): New; allow
- the following types of mutex:
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_NP
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL_NP
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP
- * Note that PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is equivalent to
- PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL - ie. mutexes should no longer
- be recursive by default, and a thread will deadlock if it
- tries to relock a mutex it already owns. This is inline with
- other pthreads implementations.
- * (pthread_mutex_lock): Process the lock request
- according to the mutex type.
- * (pthread_mutex_init): Eliminate use of Win32 mutexes as the
- basis of POSIX mutexes - instead, a combination of one critical section
- and one semaphore are used in conjunction with Win32 Interlocked* routines.
- * (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise.
- * (pthread_mutex_lock): Likewise.
- * (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
- * (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise.
- * Use longjmp/setjmp to implement cancelation when building the library
- using a C compiler which doesn't support exceptions, e.g. gcc -x c (note
- that gcc -x c++ uses exceptions).
- * Also fixed some of the same typos and eliminated PT_STDCALL as
- Milan Gardian's patches above.
-
-2001-02-07 Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>
-
- * rwlock.c: Revamped.
- * implement.h (pthread_rwlock_t_): Redefined.
- This implementation does not have reader/writer starvation problem.
- Rwlock attempts to behave more like a normal mutex with
- races and scheduling policy determining who is more important;
- It also supports recursive locking,
- has less synchronization overhead (no broadcasts at all,
- readers are not blocked on any condition variable) and seem to
- be faster than the current implementation [W98 appears to be
- approximately 15 percent faster at least - on top of speed increase
- from Thomas Pfaff's changes to mutex.c - rpj].

-2000-12-29 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * Makefile: Back-out "for" loops which don't work.
-
- * GNUmakefile: Remove the fake.a target; add the "realclean"
- target; don't remove built libs under the "clean" target.
-
- * config.h: Add a guard against multiple inclusion.
-
- * semaphore.h: Add some defines from config.h to make
- semaphore.h independent of config.h when building apps.
-
- * pthread.h (_errno): Back-out previous fix until we know how to
- fix it properly.
-
- * implement.h (lockCount): Add missing element to pthread_mutex_t_.
-
- * sync.c (pthread_join): Spelling fix in comment.
-
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Reset original termination
- function (C++).
- (ptw32_threadStart): Cleanup detached threads early in case
- the library is statically linked.
- (ptw32_callUserDestroyRoutines): Remove [SEH] __try block from
- destructor call so that unhandled exceptions will be passed through
- to the system; call terminate() from [C++] try block for the same
- reason.
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_getspecific): Add comment.
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Initialise new elements in
- pthread_mutex_t.

-
- * semaphore.c (mode_t): Use ifndef HAVE_MODE_T to include definition.
-
- * config.h.in (HAVE_MODE_T): Added.
- (_UWIN): Start adding defines for the UWIN package.
-
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Unhandled exceptions are
- now passed through to the system to deal with. This is consistent
- with normal Windows behaviour. C++ applications may use
- set_terminate() to override the default behaviour which is
- to call ptw32_terminate(). Ptw32_terminate() cleans up some
- POSIX thread stuff before calling the system default function
- which calls abort(). The users termination function should conform
- to standard C++ semantics which is to not return. It should
- exit the thread (call pthread_exit()) or exit the application.
- * private.c (ptw32_terminate): Added as the default set_terminate()
- function. It calls the system default function after cleaning up
- some POSIX thread stuff.
-
- * implement.h (ptw32_try_enter_critical_section): Move
- declaration.
- * global.c (ptw32_try_enter_critical_section): Moved
- from dll.c.
- * dll.c: Move process and thread attach/detach code into
- functions in nonportable.c.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np): Process
- attach code from dll.c is now available to static linked
- applications.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_detach_np): Likewise.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_thread_attach_np): Likewise.
- * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_thread_detach_np): Likewise.

- pthread_getspecific()
-
-2000-09-20 Arthur Kantor <akantor@bexusa.com>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Record the owner
- of the mutex. This requires also keeping count of
- recursive locks ourselves rather than leaving it
- to Win32 since we need to know when to NULL the
- thread owner when the mutex is unlocked.
- (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
- (pthread_mutex_unlock): Check that the calling
- thread owns the mutex, decrement the recursive
- lock count, and NULL the owner if zero. Return
- EPERM if the mutex is owned by another thread.
- * implement.h (pthread_mutex_t_): Add ownerThread
- and lockCount members.
-
-2000-09-13 Jef Gearhart <jgearhart@tpssys.com>
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Call
- TryEnterCriticalSection through the pointer
- rather than directly so that the dll can load
- on Windows versions that can't resolve the
- function, eg. Windows 95

-2000-09-08 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * GNUmakefile(_WIN32_WINNT=0x400): Define in CFLAGS;
- doesn't seem to be needed though.
-
- * cancel.c (pthread_cancel): Must get "self" through
- calling pthread_self() which will ensure a POSIX thread
- struct is built for non-POSIX threads; return an error
- if this fails
- - Ollie Leahy <ollie@mpt.ie>
- (pthread_setcancelstate): Likewise.

-
-2000-09-06 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * cancel.c (pthread_cancel): If called from the main

- instead of directly from TLS so that an implicit
- pthread object is created.
-
- * misc.c (pthread_equal): Strengthen test for NULLs.
-
-2000-09-02 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>

- to "mx".
- (pthread_mutexattr_destroy): Set attribute to NULL

-
- * implement.h (PTW32_EPS_CANCEL/PTW32_EPS_EXIT):
- Must be defined for all compilers - used as generic
- exception selectors by ptw32_throw().
-
- * Several: Fix typos from scripted edit session
- yesterday.
-
- * nonportable.c (pthread_mutexattr_setforcecs_np):
- Moved this function from mutex.c.
- (pthread_getw32threadhandle_np): New function to
- return the win32 thread handle that the POSIX
- thread is using.
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_setforcecs_np):
- Moved to new file "nonportable.c".
-
- * pthread.h (PTW32_BUILD): Only redefine __except
- and catch compiler keywords if we aren't building
- the library (ie. PTW32_BUILD is not defined) -
- this is safer than defining and then undefining
- if not building the library.

- * Makefile (CFLAGS): Define PTW32_BUILD.
- * GNUmakefile (CFLAGS): Define PTW32_BUILD.

- (pthread_cancel): Ditto.
- * misc.c (CancelableWait): Ditto.

- * All applicable: Change PTW32_ prefix to
- PTW32_ prefix to remove leading underscores
- from private library identifiers.
-
-2000-08-17 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * All applicable: Change _pthread_ prefix to
- ptw32_ prefix to remove leading underscores
- from private library identifiers (single
- and double leading underscores are reserved in the
- ANSI C standard for compiler implementations).
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_create_key): Initialise temporary
- key before returning it's address to avoid race
- conditions.
-
-2000-08-13 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * errno.c: Add _MD precompile condition; thus far
- had no effect when using /MD compile option but I
- thnk it should be there.
-
- * exit.c: Add __cplusplus to various #if lines;
- was compiling SEH code even when VC++ had
- C++ compile options.
-
- * private.c: ditto.
-
- * create.c (pthread_create): Add PT_STDCALL macro to
- function pointer arg in _beginthread().
-
- * pthread.h: PT_STDCALL really does need to be defined
- in both this and impliment.h; don't set it to __cdecl
- - this macro is only used to extend function pointer
- casting for functions that will be passed as parameters.
- (~PThreadCleanup): add cast and group expression.
- (_errno): Add _MD compile conditional.
- (PtW32NoCatchWarn): Change pragma message.
-
- * implement.h: Move and change PT_STDCALL define.
-
- * need_errno.h: Add _MD to compilation conditional.
-
- * GNUmakefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
- convention; set for nil optimisation (turn it up
- when we have a working library build; add target
- "fake.a" to build a libpthreadw32.a from the VC++
- built DLL pthreadVCE.dll.
-
- * pthread.def (LIBRARY): Don't specify in the .def
- file - it is specified on the linker command line
- since we now use the same .def file for variously
- named .dlls.
-
- * Makefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
- convention; default nmake target only issues a
- help message; run nmake with specific target
- corresponding to the EH scheme being used.
-
- * README: Update information; add naming convention
- explanation.
-
- * ANNOUNCE: Update information.
-
-2000-08-12 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-

- MSC_VER compiler and C++ EH to warn application
- programmers to use PtW32Catch instead of catch(...)
- if they want cancelation and pthread_exit to work.
-

- use our own local semaphore.h.
-
-2000-08-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * cleanup.c (pthread_pop_cleanup): Remove _pthread
- prefix from __except and catch keywords; implement.h
- now simply undefines ptw32__except and
- ptw32_catch if defined; VC++ was not textually
- substituting ptw32_catch etc back to catch as
- it was redefined; the reason for using the prefixed
- version was to make it clear that it was not using
- the pthread.h redefined catch keyword.
-
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Ditto.
- (ptw32_callUserDestroyRoutines): Ditto.
-
- * implement.h (ptw32__except): Remove #define.

- * GNUmakefile (pthread.a): New target to build
- libpthread32.a from pthread.dll using dlltool.
-
- * buildlib.bat: Duplicate cl commands with args to
- build C++ EH version of pthread.dll; use of .bat
- files is redundant now that nmake compatible
- Makefile is included; used as a kludge only now.
-
- * Makefile: Localise some macros and fix up the clean:
- target to extend it and work properly.
-
- * CONTRIBUTORS: Add contributors.

-
-2000-08-05 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h (PtW32CatchAll): Add macro. When compiling

-
-2000-08-03 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>

- (ptw32_threadStart): When beginthread is used to start the
- thread, force waiting until the creator thread had the
- thread handle.
-
- * cancel.c (ptw32_cancel_thread): Include context switch
- code for defined(_X86_) environments in addition to _M_IX86.
-
- * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_destroy): Assignment changed

- appears to be in pthread_create().
-
-2000-07-22 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_key_create): If a destructor was given
- and the pthread_mutex_init failed, then would try to
- reference a NULL pointer (*key); eliminate this section of
- code by using a dynamically initialised mutex
- (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER).
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_setspecific): Return an error if
- unable to set the value; simplify cryptic conditional.
-
- * tsd.c (pthread_key_delete): Locking threadsLock relied
- on mutex_lock returning an error if the key has no destructor.
- ThreadsLock is only initialised if the key has a destructor.
- Making this mutex a static could reduce the number of mutexes
- used by an application since it is actually created only at
- first use and it's often destroyed soon after.

-
- * FAQ: Added Q5 and Q6.
-
-2000-07-21 David Baggett <dmb@itasoftware.com>

-
-2000-07-21 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * create.c (pthread_create): Set threadH to 0 (zero)
- everywhere. Some assignments were using NULL. Maybe
- it should be NULL everywhere - need to check. (I know
- they are nearly always the same thing - but not by
- definition.)
-
- * misc.c (pthread_self): Try to catch NULL thread handles

-
- * cancel.c (ptw32_cancel_self): New; part of the async
- cancellation implementation.

-
-1999-11-13 Erik Hensema <erik.hensema@group2000.nl>

-1999-11-10 Todd Owen <towen@lucidcalm.dropbear.id.au>
-
- * dll.c (dllMain): Free kernel32 ASAP.
- If TryEnterCriticalSection is not being used, then free
- the kernel32.dll handle now, rather than leaving it until
- DLL_PROCESS_DETACH.
-
- Note: this is not a pedantic exercise in freeing unused
- resources! It is a work-around for a bug in Windows 95
- (see microsoft knowledge base article, Q187684) which
- does Bad Things when FreeLibrary is called within
- the DLL_PROCESS_DETACH code, in certain situations.
- Since w95 just happens to be a platform which does not
- provide TryEnterCriticalSection, the bug will be
- effortlessly avoided.

-
- Note: We don't yet support PROCESS_SHARED mutexes, so the
- implementation as it stands will default to Win32 mutexes only if
- the OS doesn't support TryEnterCriticalSection. On Win9x, and early
- versions of NT 'forcecs' will need to be set in order to get
- critical section based mutexes.
-
-Sun Jan 17 12:01:26 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER): Init new 'staticinit'
- value to '1' and existing 'valid' value to '1'.
-
- * global.c (ptw32_mutex_test_init_lock): Add.
-
- * implement.h (ptw32_mutex_test_init_lock.): Add extern.
-
- * private.c (ptw32_processInitialize): Init critical section for
- global lock used by _mutex_check_need_init().
- (ptw32_processTerminate): Ditto (:s/Init/Destroy/).
-
- * dll.c (dllMain): Move call to FreeLibrary() so that it is only
- called once when the process detaches.
-
- * mutex.c (_mutex_check_need_init): New static function to test
- and init PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER mutexes. Provides serialised
- access to the internal state of the uninitialised static mutex.
- Called from pthread_mutex_trylock() and pthread_mutex_lock() which
- do a quick unguarded test to check if _mutex_check_need_init()
- needs to be called. This is safe as the test is conservative
- and is repeated inside the guarded section of
- _mutex_check_need_init(). Thus in all calls except the first
- calls to lock static mutexes, the additional overhead to lock any
- mutex is a single memory fetch and test for zero.
-
- * pthread.h (pthread_mutex_t_): Add 'staticinit' member. Mutexes
- initialised by PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER aren't really initialised
- until the first attempt to lock it. Using the 'valid'
- flag (which flags the mutex as destroyed or not) to record this
- information would be messy. It is possible for a statically
- initialised mutex such as this to be destroyed before ever being
- used.
-
- * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_trylock): Call _mutex_check_need_init()
- to test/init PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER mutexes.
- (pthread_mutex_lock): Ditto.
- (pthread_mutex_unlock): Add check to ensure we don't try to unlock
- an unitialised static mutex.
- (pthread_mutex_destroy): Add check to ensure we don't try to delete
- a critical section that we never created. Allows us to destroy
- a static mutex that has never been locked (and hence initialised).
- (pthread_mutex_init): Set 'staticinit' flag to 0 for the new mutex.
-
-Sun Jan 17 12:01:26 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * private.c (ptw32_sem_timedwait): Move from semaphore.c.
-
- * semaphore.c : Remove redundant #includes.
- (ptw32_sem_timedwait): Move to private.c.
- (sem_wait): Add missing abstime arg to pthreadCancelableWait() call.
-
-Fri Jan 15 23:38:05 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * condvar.c (cond_timedwait): Remove comment.
-
-Fri Jan 15 15:41:28 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@swan.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread.h: Add new 'abstime' arg to pthreadCancelableWait()
- prototype.
-
- * condvar.c (cond_timedwait): New generalised function called by
- both pthread_cond_wait() and pthread_cond_timedwait(). This is
- essentially pthread_cond_wait() renamed and modified to add the
- 'abstime' arg and call the new ptw32_sem_timedwait() instead of
- sem_wait().
- (pthread_cond_wait): Now just calls the internal static
- function cond_timedwait() with an INFINITE wait.
- (pthread_cond_timedwait): Now implemented. Calls the internal
- static function cond_timedwait().
-
- * implement.h (ptw32_sem_timedwait): New internal function
- prototype.
-
- * misc.c (pthreadCancelableWait): Added new 'abstime' argument
- to allow shorter than INFINITE wait.
-
- * semaphore.c (ptw32_sem_timedwait): New function for internal
- use. This is essentially sem_wait() modified to add the
- 'abstime' arg and call the modified (see above)
- pthreadCancelableWait().
-
-Thu Jan 14 14:27:13 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@swan.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * cleanup.c: Correct _cplusplus to __cplusplus wherever used.
-
- * Makefile.in: Add CC=g++ and add -fhandle-exceptions to CFLAGS.
- The derived Makefile will compile all units of the package as C++
- so that those which include try/catch exception handling should work
- properly. The package should compile ok if CC=gcc, however, exception
- handling will not be included and thus thread cancellation, for
- example, will not work.
-
- * cleanup.c (ptw32_pop_cleanup): Add #warning to compile this
- file as C++ if using a cygwin32 environment. Perhaps the whole package
- should be compiled using g++ under cygwin.
-
- * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Change #error directive
- into #warning and bracket for __CYGWIN__ and derivative compilers.
-
-Wed Jan 13 09:34:52 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * build.bat: Delete old binaries before compiling/linking.
-
-Tue Jan 12 09:58:38 1999 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
-
- * dll.c: The Microsoft compiler pragmas probably are more
- appropriately protected by _MSC_VER than by _WIN32.
-
- * pthread.h: Define ETIMEDOUT. This should be returned by
- pthread_cond_timedwait which is not implemented yet as of
- snapshot-1999-01-04-1305. It was implemented in the older version.
- The Microsoft compiler pragmas probably are more appropriately
- protected by _MSC_VER than by _WIN32.
-
- * pthread.def: pthread_mutex_destroy was missing from the def file
-
- * condvar.c (pthread_cond_broadcast): Ensure we only wait on threads
- if there were any waiting on the condition.
- I think pthread_cond_broadcast should do the WaitForSingleObject
- only if cv->waiters > 0? Otherwise it seems to hang, at least in the
- testg thread program from glib.
-
-Tue Jan 12 09:58:38 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

-
-Q 1 What is it?
----
-
-Pthreads-win32 is an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard for Microsoft's
-Win32 environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also
-supported including semaphores. Other related functions include
-the set of read-write lock functions. The library also supports
-some of the functionality of the Open Group's Single Unix
-specification, version 2, namely mutex types.
-
-See the file "ANNOUNCE" for more information including standards
-conformance details and list of supported routines.
-
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 2 Which of the several dll versions do I use?
---- or,
- What are all these pthread*.dll and pthread*.lib files?
-
-Simply, you only use one of them, but you need to choose carefully.
-
-The most important choice you need to make is whether to use a
-version that uses exceptions internally, or not (there are versions
-of the library that use exceptions as part of the thread
-cancelation and exit implementation, and one that uses
-setjmp/longjmp instead).
-
-There is some contension amongst POSIX threads experts as
-to how POSIX threads cancelation and exit should work
-with languages that include exceptions and handlers, e.g.
-C++ and even C (Microsoft's Structured Exceptions).
-
-The issue is: should cancelation of a thread in, say,
-a C++ application cause object destructors and C++ exception
-handlers to be invoked as the stack unwinds during thread
-exit, or not?
-
-There seems to be more opinion in favour of using the
-standard C version of the library (no EH) with C++ applications
-since this appears to be the assumption commercial pthreads
-implementations make. Therefore, if you use an EH version
-of pthreads-win32 then you may be under the illusion that
-your application will be portable, when in fact it is likely to
-behave very differently linked with other pthreads libraries.
-
-Now you may be asking: why have you kept the EH versions of
-the library?
-
-There are a couple of reasons:
-- there is division amongst the experts and so the code may
- be needed in the future. (Yes, it's in the repository and we
- can get it out anytime in the future, but ...)
-- pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations, and possibly
- the only freely available one, that has EH versions. It may be
- useful to people who want to play with or study application
- behaviour under these conditions.
-
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 3 What is the library naming convention?
----
-
-Because the library is being built using various exception
-handling schemes and compilers - and because the library
-may not work reliably if these are mixed in an application,
-each different version of the library has it's own name.
-
-Note 1: the incompatibility is really between EH implementations
-of the different compilers. It should be possible to use the
-standard C version from either compiler with C++ applications
-built with a different compiler. If you use an EH version of
-the library, then you must use the same compiler for the
-application. This is another complication and dependency that
-can be avoided by using only the standard C library version.
-
-Note 2: if you use a standard C pthread*.dll with a C++
-application, then any functions that you define that are
-intended to be called via pthread_cleanup_push() must be
-__cdecl.
-
-Note 3: the intention is to also name either the VC or GC
-version (it should be arbitrary) as pthread.dll, including
-pthread.lib and libpthread.a as appropriate.
-
-In general:
- pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.dll
- pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.lib
-
-where:
- [VG] indicates the compiler
- V - MS VC
- G - GNU C
-
- {SE,CE,C} indicates the exception handling scheme
- SE - Structured EH
- CE - C++ EH
- C - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp
-
-For example:
- pthreadVSE.dll (MSVC/SEH)
- pthreadGCE.dll (GNUC/C++ EH)
- pthreadGC.dll (GNUC/not dependent on exceptions)
-
-The GNU library archive file names have changed to:
-
- libpthreadGCE.a
- libpthreadGC.a
-
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 4 Cleanup code default style or: it used to work when I built
---- the library myself, but now it doesn't - why?
-
-Up to and including snapshot 2001-07-12, if not defined, the cleanup
-style was determined automatically from the compiler used, and one
-of the following was defined accordingly:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH MSVC only
- __CLEANUP_CXX C++, including MSVC++, GNU G++
- __CLEANUP_C C, including GNU GCC, not MSVC
-
-These defines determine the style of cleanup (see pthread.h) and,
-most importantly, the way that cancelation and thread exit (via
-pthread_exit) is performed (see the routine ptw32_throw() in private.c).
-
-In short, the exceptions versions of the library throw an exception
-when a thread is canceled or exits (via pthread_exit()), which is
-caught by a handler in the thread startup routine, so that the
-the correct stack unwinding occurs regardless of where the thread
-is when it's canceled or exits via pthread_exit().
-
-After snapshot 2001-07-12, unless your build explicitly defines (e.g.
-via a compiler option) __CLEANUP_SEH, __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then
-the build now ALWAYS defaults to __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style
-uses setjmp/longjmp in the cancelation and pthread_exit implementations,
-and therefore won't do stack unwinding even when linked to applications
-that have it (e.g. C++ apps). This is for consistency with most/all
-commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations.
-
-Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to
-build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was
-used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the
-correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible
-defines require the following library versions:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll
- __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll
- __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll
-
-THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these
-explicitly, then the defaults have been set according to the compiler
-and language you are using, as described at the top of this
-section.
-
-THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above. For example:
-
-If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++
-exceptions (rather than SEH) and not explicitly defining one of
-__CLEANUP_*, then __CLEANUP_C++ was defined for you in pthread.h.
-You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does
-stack unwinding.
-
-If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now
-set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to link
-with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a
-thread is canceled, nor when the thread calls pthread_exit().
-
-Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous
-versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that local
-objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread
-is canceled.
-
-If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define
-__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with
-pthreadVCE.dll as you did before.
-
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 5 Why is the default library version now less exception-friendly?
----
-
-Because most commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations don't allow you to
-choose to have stack unwinding. (Compaq's TRU64 Unix is possibly an exception.)
-
-Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32 as a default could be dangerous. We
-still provide the choice but you must now consciously make it.
-
-WHY NOT REMOVE THE EXCEPTIONS VERSIONS OF THE LIBRARY ALTOGETHER?
-There are a few reasons:
-- because there are well respected POSIX threads people who believe
- that POSIX threads implementations should be exceptions-aware and
- do the expected thing in that context. (There are equally respected
- people who believe it should not be easily accessible, if it's there
- at all.)
-- because pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations that has
- the choice, perhaps the only freely available one, and so offers
- a laboratory to people who may want to explore the effects;
-- although the code will always be around somewhere for anyone who
- wants it, once it's removed from the current version it will not be
- nearly as visible to people who may have a use for it.
-
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 6 Should I use Cygwin or Mingw32 as a development environment?
----
-
-Important: see Q7 also.
-
-Use Mingw32 with the MSVCRT library to build applications that use
-the pthreads DLL.
-
-Cygwin's own internal support for POSIX threads is growing.
-Consult that project's documentation for more information.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 7 Now that pthreads-win32 builds under Mingw32, why do I get
---- memory access violations (segfaults)?
-
-The latest Mingw32 package has thread-safe exception handling (see Q10).
-Also, see Q6 above.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q 8 How do I use pthread.dll for Win32 (Visual C++ 5.0)
----
-
->
-> I'm a "rookie" when it comes to your pthread implementation. I'm currently
-> desperately trying to install the prebuilt .dll file into my MSVC compiler.
-> Could you please provide me with explicit instructions on how to do this (or
-> direct me to a resource(s) where I can acquire such information)?
->
-> Thank you,
->
-
-You should have a .dll, .lib, .def, and three .h files. It is recommended
-that you use pthreadVC.dll, rather than pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadVSE.dll
-(see Q2 above).
-
-The .dll can go in any directory listed in your PATH environment
-variable, so putting it into C:\WINDOWS should work.
-
-The .lib file can go in any directory listed in your LIB environment
-variable.
-
-The .h files can go in any directory listed in your INCLUDE
-environment variable.
-
-Or you might prefer to put the .lib and .h files into a new directory
-and add its path to LIB and INCLUDE. You can probably do this easiest
-by editing the file:-
-
-C:\Program Files\DevStudio\vc\bin\vcvars32.bat
-
-The .def file isn't used by anything in the pre-compiled version but
-is included for information.
-
-Cheers.

-
-Q 9 Cancelation doesn't work for me, why?
----
-
-> I'm investigating a problem regarding thread cancelation. The thread I want
-> to cancel has PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS, however, this piece of code
-> blocks on the join():
->
-> if ((retv = Pthread_cancel( recvThread )) == 0)
-> {
-> retv = Pthread_join( recvThread, 0 );
-> }
->
-> Pthread_* are just macro's; they call pthread_*.
->
-> The thread recvThread seems to block on a select() call. It doesn't get
-> cancelled.
->
-> Two questions:
->
-> 1) is this normal behaviour?
->
-> 2) if not, how does the cancel mechanism work? I'm not very familliar to
-> win32 programming, so I don't really understand how the *Event() family of
-> calls work.
-
-Async cancelation should be in versions post snapshot-1999-11-02
-of pthreads-win32 (currently only for x86 architectures).
-
-The answer to your first question is, normal POSIX behaviour would
-be to asynchronously cancel the thread. However, even that doesn't
-guarantee cancelation as the standard only says it should be
-cancelled as soon as possible.
-
-However ...
-
-Snapshot 99-11-02 or earlier only partially supports asynchronous cancellation.
-Snapshots since then simulate async cancelation by poking the address of
-a cancelation routine into the PC of the threads context. This requires
-the thread to be resumed in some way for the cancelation to actually
-proceed. This is not true async cancelation, but it is as close as we've
-been able to get to it.
-
-If the thread you're trying to cancel is blocked (for instance, it could be
-waiting for data from the network), it will only get cancelled when it unblocks
-(when the data arrives). Unfortunately, there is no way to do so from
-outside the thread.
-
-Using deferred cancelation would normally be the way to go, however,
-even though the POSIX threads standard lists a number of C library
-functions that are defined as deferred cancelation points, there is
-no hookup between those which are provided by Windows and the
-pthreads-win32 library.
-
-Incidently, it's worth noting for code portability that the POSIX
-threads standard list doesn't include "select" because (as I read in
-Butenhof) it isn't part of POSIX.
-
-Effectively, the only cancelation points that pthreads-win32 can
-recognise are those the library implements itself, ie.
-
- pthread_testcancel
- pthread_cond_wait
- pthread_cond_timedwait
- pthread_join
- sem_wait
- pthread_delay_np
-
-Pthreads-win32 also provides two functions that allow you to create
-cancelation points within your application, but only for cases where
-a thread is going to block on a Win32 handle. These are:
-
- pthreadCancelableWait(HANDLE waitHandle) /* Infinite wait */
-
- pthreadCancelableTimedWait(HANDLE waitHandle, DWORD timeout)
-

It should be possible to use the +standard C version from either compiler with C++ applications +built with a different compiler. If you use an EH version of +the library, then you must use the same compiler for the +application. This is another complication and dependency that +can be avoided by using only the standard C library version. + +Note 2: if you use a standard C pthread*.dll with a C++ +application, then any functions that you define that are +intended to be called via pthread_cleanup_push() must be +__cdecl. + +Note 3: the intention is to also name either the VC or GC +version (it should be arbitrary) as pthread.dll, including +pthread.lib and libpthread.a as appropriate. + +In general: + pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.dll + pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.lib + +where: + [VG] indicates the compiler + V - MS VC + G - GNU C + + {SE,CE,C} indicates the exception handling scheme + SE - Structured EH + CE - C++ EH + C - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp + +For example: + pthreadVSE.dll (MSVC/SEH) + pthreadGCE.dll (GNUC/C++ EH) + pthreadGC.dll (GNUC/not dependent on exceptions) + +The GNU library archive file names have changed to: + + libpthreadGCE.a + libpthreadGC.a + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 4 Cleanup code default style or: it used to work when I built +--- the library myself, but now it doesn't - why? + +Up to and including snapshot 2001-07-12, if not defined, the cleanup +style was determined automatically from the compiler used, and one +of the following was defined accordingly: + + __CLEANUP_SEH MSVC only + __CLEANUP_CXX C++, including MSVC++, GNU G++ + __CLEANUP_C C, including GNU GCC, not MSVC + +These defines determine the style of cleanup (see pthread.h) and, +most importantly, the way that cancelation and thread exit (via +pthread_exit) is performed (see the routine ptw32_throw() in private.c). + +In short, the exceptions versions of the library throw an exception +when a thread is canceled or exits (via pthread_exit()), which is +caught by a handler in the thread startup routine, so that the +the correct stack unwinding occurs regardless of where the thread +is when it's canceled or exits via pthread_exit(). + +After snapshot 2001-07-12, unless your build explicitly defines (e.g. +via a compiler option) __CLEANUP_SEH, __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then +the build now ALWAYS defaults to __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style +uses setjmp/longjmp in the cancelation and pthread_exit implementations, +and therefore won't do stack unwinding even when linked to applications +that have it (e.g. C++ apps). This is for consistency with most/all +commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations. + +Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to +build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was +used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the +correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible +defines require the following library versions: + + __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll + __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll + __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll + +THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these +explicitly, then the defaults have been set according to the compiler +and language you are using, as described at the top of this +section. + +THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above. For example: + +If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++ +exceptions (rather than SEH) and not explicitly defining one of +__CLEANUP_*, then __CLEANUP_C++ was defined for you in pthread.h. +You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does +stack unwinding. + +If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now +set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to link +with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a +thread is canceled, nor when the thread calls pthread_exit(). + +Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous +versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that local +objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread +is canceled. + +If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define +__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with +pthreadVCE.dll as you did before. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 5 Why is the default library version now less exception-friendly? +--- + +Because most commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations don't allow you to +choose to have stack unwinding. (Compaq's TRU64 Unix is possibly an exception.) + +Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32 as a default could be dangerous. We +still provide the choice but you must now consciously make it. + +WHY NOT REMOVE THE EXCEPTIONS VERSIONS OF THE LIBRARY ALTOGETHER? +There are a few reasons: +- because there are well respected POSIX threads people who believe + that POSIX threads implementations should be exceptions-aware and + do the expected thing in that context. (There are equally respected + people who believe it should not be easily accessible, if it's there + at all.) +- because pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations that has + the choice, perhaps the only freely available one, and so offers + a laboratory to people who may want to explore the effects; +- although the code will always be around somewhere for anyone who + wants it, once it's removed from the current version it will not be + nearly as visible to people who may have a use for it. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 6 Should I use Cygwin or Mingw32 as a development environment? +--- + +Important: see Q7 also. + +Use Mingw32 with the MSVCRT library to build applications that use +the pthreads DLL. + +Cygwin's own internal support for POSIX threads is growing. +Consult that project's documentation for more information. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 7 Now that pthreads-win32 builds under Mingw32, why do I get +--- memory access violations (segfaults)? + +The latest Mingw32 package has thread-safe exception handling (see Q10). +Also, see Q6 above. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 8 How do I use pthread.dll for Win32 (Visual C++ 5.0) +--- + +> +> I'm a "rookie" when it comes to your pthread implementation. I'm currently +> desperately trying to install the prebuilt .dll file into my MSVC compiler. +> Could you please provide me with explicit instructions on how to do this (or +> direct me to a resource(s) where I can acquire such information)? +> +> Thank you, +> + +You should have a .dll, .lib, .def, and three .h files. It is recommended +that you use pthreadVC.dll, rather than pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadVSE.dll +(see Q2 above). + +The .dll can go in any directory listed in your PATH environment +variable, so putting it into C:\WINDOWS should work. + +The .lib file can go in any directory listed in your LIB environment +variable. + +The .h files can go in any directory listed in your INCLUDE +environment variable. + +Or you might prefer to put the .lib and .h files into a new directory +and add its path to LIB and INCLUDE. You can probably do this easiest +by editing the file:- + +C:\Program Files\DevStudio\vc\bin\vcvars32.bat + +The .def file isn't used by anything in the pre-compiled version but +is included for information. + +Cheers. +Ross + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Q 9 Cancelation doesn't work for me, why? +--- + +> I'm investigating a problem regarding thread cancelation. The thread I want +> to cancel has PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS, however, this piece of code +> blocks on the join(): +> +> if ((retv = Pthread_cancel( recvThread )) == 0) +> { +> retv = Pthread_join( recvThread, 0 ); +> } +> +> Pthread_* are just macro's; they call pthread_*. +> +> The thread recvThread seems to block on a select() call. It doesn't get +> cancelled. +> +> Two questions: +> +> 1) is this normal behaviour? +> +> 2) if not, how does the cancel mechanism work? I'm not very familliar to +> win32 programming, so I don't really understand how the *Event() family of +> calls work. + +Async cancelation should be in versions post snapshot-1999-11-02 +of pthreads-win32 (currently only for x86 architectures). + +The answer to your first question is, normal POSIX behaviour would +be to asynchronously cancel the thread. However, even that doesn't +guarantee cancelation as the standard only says it should be +cancelled as soon as possible. + +However ... + +Snapshot 99-11-02 or earlier only partially supports asynchronous cancellation. +Snapshots since then simulate async cancelation by poking the address of +a cancelation routine into the PC of the threads context. This requires +the thread to be resumed in some way for the cancelation to actually +proceed. This is not true async cancelation, but it is as close as we've +been able to get to it. + +If the thread you're trying to cancel is blocked (for instance, it could be +waiting for data from the network), it will only get cancelled when it unblocks +(when the data arrives). Unfortunately, there is no way to do so from +outside the thread. + +Using deferred cancelation would normally be the way to go, however, +even though the POSIX threads standard lists a number of C library +functions that are defined as deferred cancelation points, there is +no hookup between those which are provided by Windows and the +pthreads-win32 library. + +Incidently, it's worth noting for code portability that the POSIX +threads standard list doesn't include "select" because (as I read in +Butenhof) it isn't part of POSIX. + +Effectively, the only cancelation points that pthreads-win32 can +recognise are those the library implements itself, ie. + + pthread_testcancel + pthread_cond_wait + pthread_cond_timedwait + pthread_join + sem_wait + pthread_delay_np + +Pthreads-win32 also provides two functions that allow you to create +cancelation points within your application, but only for cases where +a thread is going to block on a Win32 handle. These are: + + pthreadCancelableWait(HANDLE waitHandle) /* Infinite wait */ + + pthreadCancelableTimedWait(HANDLE waitHandle, DWORD timeout) + +Regards. +Ross + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + +Q 10 How do I create thread-safe applications using +---- pthreadGCE.dll, libpthreadw32.a and Mingw32? + +See Thomas Pfaff's email at: +http://sources.redhat.com/ml/pthreads-win32/2002/msg00000.html + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + diff --git a/GNUmakefile b/GNUmakefile index 5887ea2..ddaa96c 100644 --- a/GNUmakefile +++ b/GNUmakefile @@ -113,17 +113,36 @@ SMALL_STATIC_OBJS = \ cancel_testcancel.o \ cancel_cancel.o \ cleanup.o \ - condvar.o \ + condvar_attr_destroy.o \ + condvar_attr_getpshared.o \ + condvar_attr_init.o \ + condvar_attr_setpshared.o \ + condvar_check_need_init.o \ + condvar_destroy.o \ + condvar_init.o \ + condvar_signal.o \ + condvar_wait.o \ create.o \ dll.o \ errno.o \ exit.o \ fork.o \ global.o \ - misc.o \ mutex.o \ - nonportable.o \ + np_mutexattr_setkind.o \ + np_mutexattr_getkind.o \ + np_getw32threadhandle.o \ + np_delay.o \ + np_num_processors.o \ + np_win32_attach.o \ private.o \ + pthread_equal.o \ + pthread_getconcurrency.o \ + pthread_once.o \ + pthread_self.o \ + pthread_setconcurrency.o \ + ptw32_calloc.o \ + ptw32_new.o \ rwlock.o \ sched.o \ semaphore_init.o \ @@ -142,7 +161,8 @@ SMALL_STATIC_OBJS = \ signal.o \ spin.o \ sync.o \ - tsd.o + tsd.o \ + w32_CancelableWait.o INCL = \ config.h \ @@ -179,6 +199,35 @@ CANCEL_SRCS = \ cancel_testcancel.c \ cancel_cancel.c +CONDVAR_SRCS = \ + condvar_attr_destroy.c \ + condvar_attr_getpshared.c \ + condvar_attr_init.c \ + condvar_attr_setpshared.c \ + condvar_check_need_init.c \ + condvar_destroy.c \ + condvar_init.c \ + condvar_signal.c \ + condvar_wait.c + +MISC_SRCS = \ + pthread_equal.c \ + pthread_getconcurrency.c \ + pthread_once.c \ + pthread_self.c \ + pthread_setconcurrency.c \ + ptw32_calloc.c \ + ptw32_new.c \ + w32_CancelableWait.c + +NONPORTABLE_SRCS = \ + np_mutexattr_setkind.c \ + np_mutexattr_getkind.c \ + np_getw32threadhandle.c \ + np_delay.c \ + np_num_processors.c \ + np_win32_attach.c + SEMAPHORE_SRCS = \ semaphore_init.c \ semaphore_destroy.c \ @@ -252,6 +301,9 @@ realclean: clean -$(RM) $(GCE_DLL) attr.o: attr.c $(ATTR_SRCS) $(INCL) -barrier.o: barrier.c $(BARRIER_SRCS) $(INCL) -cancel.o: cancel.c $(CANCEL_SRCS) $(INCL) +barrier.o: barrier.c $(BARRIER_SRCS) $(INCL) +cancel.o: cancel.c $(CANCEL_SRCS) $(INCL) +condvar.o: condvar.c $(CONDVAR_SRCS) $(INCL) +misc.o: misc.c $(MISC_SRCS) $(INCL) +nonportable.o: nonportable.c $(NONPORTABLE_SRCS) $(INCL) semaphore.o: semaphore.c $(SEMAPHORE_SRCS) $(INCL) @@ -1,201 +1,253 @@ -# This makefile is compatible with MS nmake and can be used as a

-
-
-What is it?
------------
-
-Pthreads-win32 is an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard for Microsoft's
-Win32 environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also
-supported including semaphores. Other related functions include
-the set of read-write lock functions. The library also supports
-some of the functionality of the Open Group's Single Unix
-specification, version 2, namely mutex types.
-
-See the file "ANNOUNCE" for more information including standards
-conformance details and list of supported routines.
-
-
-Which of the several dll versions to use?
------------------------------------------
-or,
----
-What are all these pthread*.dll and pthread*.lib files?
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Simply, you only use one of them, but you need to choose carefully.
-
-The most important choice you need to make is whether to use a
-version that uses exceptions internally, or not (there are versions
-of the library that use exceptions as part of the thread
-cancelation and exit implementation, and one that uses
-setjmp/longjmp instead).
-
-There is some contension amongst POSIX threads experts as
-to how POSIX threads cancelation and exit should work
-with languages that include exceptions and handlers, e.g.
-C++ and even C (Microsoft's Structured Exceptions).
-
-The issue is: should cancelation of a thread in, say,
-a C++ application cause object destructors and C++ exception
-handlers to be invoked as the stack unwinds during thread
-exit, or not?
-
-There seems to be more opinion in favour of using the
-standard C version of the library (no EH) with C++ applications
-since this appears to be the assumption commercial pthreads
-implementations make. Therefore, if you use an EH version
-of pthreads-win32 then you may be under the illusion that
-your application will be portable, when in fact it is likely to
-behave very differently linked with other pthreads libraries.
-
-Now you may be asking: why have you kept the EH versions of
-the library?
-
-There are a couple of reasons:
-- there is division amongst the experts and so the code may
- be needed in the future. (Yes, it's in the repository and we
- can get it out anytime in the future, but ...)
-- pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations, and possibly
- the only freely available one, that has EH versions. It may be
- useful to people who want to play with or study application
- behaviour under these conditions.
-
-
-Library naming
---------------
-
-Because the library is being built using various exception
-handling schemes and compilers - and because the library
-may not work reliably if these are mixed in an application,
-each different version of the library has it's own name.
-
-Note 1: the incompatibility is really between EH implementations
-of the different compilers. It should be possible to use the
-standard C version from either compiler with C++ applications
-built with a different compiler. If you use an EH version of
-the library, then you must use the same compiler for the
-application. This is another complication and dependency that
-can be avoided by using only the standard C library version.
-
-Note 2: if you use a standard C pthread*.dll with a C++
-application, then any functions that you define that are
-intended to be called via pthread_cleanup_push() must be
-__cdecl.
-
-Note 3: the intention is to also name either the VC or GC
-version (it should be arbitrary) as pthread.dll, including
-pthread.lib and libpthread.a as appropriate.
-
-In general:
- pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.dll
- pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.lib
-
-where:
- [VG] indicates the compiler
- V - MS VC
- G - GNU C
-
- {SE,CE,C} indicates the exception handling scheme
- SE - Structured EH
- CE - C++ EH
- C - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp
-
-For example:
- pthreadVSE.dll (MSVC/SEH)
- pthreadGCE.dll (GNUC/C++ EH)
- pthreadGC.dll (GNUC/not dependent on exceptions)
-
-The GNU library archive file names have changed to:
-
- libpthreadGCE.a
- libpthreadGC.a
-
-
-Other name changes
-------------------
-
-All snapshots prior to and including snapshot 2000-08-13
-used "_pthread_" as the prefix to library internal
-functions, and "_PTHREAD_" to many library internal
-macros. These have now been changed to "ptw32_" and "PTW32_"
-respectively so as to not conflict with the ANSI standard's
-reservation of identifiers beginning with "_" and "__" for
-use by compiler implementations only.
-
-If you have written any applications and you are linking
-statically with the pthreads-win32 library then you may have
-included a call to _pthread_processInitialize. You will
-now have to change that to ptw32_processInitialize.
-
-
-A note on Cleanup code default style
-------------------------------------
-
-Previously, if not defined, the cleanup style was determined automatically
-from the compiler used, and one of the following was defined accordingly:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH MSVC only
- __CLEANUP_CXX C++, including MSVC++, GNU G++
- __CLEANUP_C C, including GNU GCC, not MSVC
-
-These defines determine the style of cleanup (see pthread.h) and,
-most importantly, the way that cancelation and thread exit (via
-pthread_exit) is performed (see the routine ptw32_throw() in private.c).
-
-In short, the exceptions versions of the library throw an exception
-when a thread is canceled or exits (via pthread_exit()), which is
-caught by a handler in the thread startup routine, so that the
-the correct stack unwinding occurs regardless of where the thread
-is when it's canceled or exits via pthread_exit().
-
-In this snapshot, unless the build explicitly defines (e.g. via a
-compiler option) __CLEANUP_SEH, __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then
-the build NOW always defaults to __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style
-uses setjmp/longjmp in the cancelation and pthread_exit implementations,
-and therefore won't do stack unwinding even when linked to applications
-that have it (e.g. C++ apps). This is for consistency with most/all
-commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations.
-
-Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to
-build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was
-used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the
-correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible
-defines require the following library versions:
-
- __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll
- __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll
- __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll
-
-THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these
-explicitly, then the defaults as described at the top of this
-section were being used.
-
-THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above, but to try to make this
-clearer here's an example:
-
-If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++
-exceptions (rather than SEH) and not explicitly defining one of
-__CLEANUP_*, then __CLEANUP_C++ was defined for you in pthread.h.
-You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does
-stack unwinding.
-
-If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now
-set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to link
-with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a thread
-is canceled, or the thread calls pthread_exit().
-
-Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous
-versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that locally
-instantiated objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread
-is canceled.
-
-If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define
-__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with
-pthreadVCE.dll as you did before.
-
-
-WHY ARE WE MAKING THE DEFAULT STYLE LESS EXCEPTION-FRIENDLY?
-Because no commercial Unix POSIX threads implementation allows you to
-choose to have stack unwinding. Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32
-as a default is dangerous. We still provide the choice but unless
-you consciously choose to do otherwise, your pthreads applications will
-now run or crash in similar ways irrespective of the threads platform
-you use. Or at least this is the hope.
-
-
-
-Building under VC++ using C++ EH, Structured EH, or just C
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-From the source directory run one of the following:
-
-nmake clean VCE (builds the VC++ C++ EH version pthreadVCE.dll)
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VSE (builds the VC++ structured EH version pthreadVSE.dll)
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VC (builds the VC setjmp/longjmp version of pthreadVC.dll)
-
-You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and
-running the target corresponding to the DLL version you built:
-
-nmake clean VCE
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VSE
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VC
-
-or:
-
-nmake clean VCX (tests the VC version of the library with C++ (EH)
- applications)
-
-
-Building under Mingw32
-----------------------
-
-The dll can be built with Mingw32 gcc-2.95.2-1 after you've
-made the changes to Mingw32 desribed in Question 6 of the FAQ.
-
-From the source directory, run
-
-make clean GCE
-
-or:
-
-make clean GC
-
-You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and
-running
-
-make clean GCE
-
-or:
-
-make clean GC
-
-or:
-
-make clean GCX (tests the GC version of the library with C++ (EH)
- applications)
-
-
-Building the library under Cygwin
----------------------------------
-
-Not tested by me although I think some people have done this.
-Not sure how successfully though.
-
-Cygwin is implementing it's own POSIX threads routines and these
-will be the ones to use if you develop using Cygwin.
-
-
-Ready to run binaries
----------------------
-
-For convenience, the following ready-to-run files can be downloaded
-from the FTP site (see under "Availability" below):
-
- pthread.h
- semaphore.h
- sched.h
- pthread.def
- pthreadVCE.dll - built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
- pthreadVCE.lib
- pthreadVC.dll - built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
- pthreadVC.lib
- pthreadVSE.dll - built with MSVC compiler using SEH
- pthreadVSE.lib
- pthreadGCE.dll - built with Mingw32 G++
- pthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll
- pthreadGC.dll - built with Mingw32 GCC
- pthreadGC.a - derived from pthreadGC.dll
- gcc.dll - needed to build and run applications that use
- pthreadGCE.dll.
-
-
-Building applications with the library
---------------------------------------
-
-Use the appropriate DLL and LIB files to match the exception handing
-that you use in your application, or specifically, in your POSIX
-threads. Don't mix them or neither thread cancelation nor
-pthread_exit() will work reliably if at all.
-
-If in doubt use the C (no-exceptions) versions of the library.
-
-
-Building applications with GNU compilers
-----------------------------------------
-
-If you're using pthreadGCE.dll:
-
-Use gcc-2.95.2-1 or later modified as per pthreads-win32 FAQ question 11.
-
-With the three header files, pthreadGCE.dll, gcc.dll and libpthreadGCE.a
-in the same directory as your application myapp.c, you could compile,
-link and run myapp.c under Mingw32 as follows:
-
- gcc -x c++ -o myapp.exe myapp.c -I. -L. -lpthreadGCE
- myapp
-
-Or put pthreadGCE.dll and gcc.dll in an appropriate directory in
-your PATH, put libpthreadGCE.a in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\lib, and
-put the three header files in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\include,
-then use:
-
- gcc -x c++ -o myapp.exe myapp.c -lpthreadGCE
- myapp
-
-If you're using pthreadGC.dll:
-
-With the three header files, pthreadGC.dll and libpthreadGC.a in the
-same directory as your application myapp.c, you could compile, link
-and run myapp.c under Mingw32 as follows:
-
- gcc -o myapp.exe myapp.c -I. -L. -lpthreadGC
- myapp
-
-Or put pthreadGC.dll in an appropriate directory in your PATH,
-put libpthreadGC.a in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\lib, and
-put the three header files in MINGW_ROOT\i386-mingw32\include,
-then use:
-
- gcc -o myapp.exe myapp.c -lpthreadGC
- myapp
-

+PTHREADS-WIN32 +============== + +Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser +General Public License (LGPL). See the file 'COPYING.LIB' for terms +and conditions. Also see the file 'COPYING' for information +specific to pthreads-win32, copyrights and the LGPL. + + +What is it? +----------- + +Pthreads-win32 is an Open Source Software implementation of the +Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard for Microsoft's +Win32 environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also +supported including semaphores. Other related functions include +the set of read-write lock functions. The library also supports +some of the functionality of the Open Group's Single Unix +specification, version 2, namely mutex types. + +See the file "ANNOUNCE" for more information including standards +conformance details and list of supported routines. + + +Which of the several dll versions to use? +----------------------------------------- +or, +--- +What are all these pthread*.dll and pthread*.lib files? +------------------------------------------------------- + +Simply, you only use one of them, but you need to choose carefully. + +The most important choice you need to make is whether to use a +version that uses exceptions internally, or not (there are versions +of the library that use exceptions as part of the thread +cancelation and exit implementation, and one that uses +setjmp/longjmp instead). + +There is some contension amongst POSIX threads experts as +to how POSIX threads cancelation and exit should work +with languages that include exceptions and handlers, e.g. +C++ and even C (Microsoft's Structured Exceptions). + +The issue is: should cancelation of a thread in, say, +a C++ application cause object destructors and C++ exception +handlers to be invoked as the stack unwinds during thread +exit, or not? + +There seems to be more opinion in favour of using the +standard C version of the library (no EH) with C++ applications +since this appears to be the assumption commercial pthreads +implementations make. Therefore, if you use an EH version +of pthreads-win32 then you may be under the illusion that +your application will be portable, when in fact it is likely to +behave very differently linked with other pthreads libraries. + +Now you may be asking: why have you kept the EH versions of +the library? + +There are a couple of reasons: +- there is division amongst the experts and so the code may + be needed in the future. (Yes, it's in the repository and we + can get it out anytime in the future, but ...) +- pthreads-win32 is one of the few implementations, and possibly + the only freely available one, that has EH versions. It may be + useful to people who want to play with or study application + behaviour under these conditions. + + +Library naming +-------------- + +Because the library is being built using various exception +handling schemes and compilers - and because the library +may not work reliably if these are mixed in an application, +each different version of the library has it's own name. + +Note 1: the incompatibility is really between EH implementations +of the different compilers. It should be possible to use the +standard C version from either compiler with C++ applications +built with a different compiler. If you use an EH version of +the library, then you must use the same compiler for the +application. This is another complication and dependency that +can be avoided by using only the standard C library version. + +Note 2: if you use a standard C pthread*.dll with a C++ +application, then any functions that you define that are +intended to be called via pthread_cleanup_push() must be +__cdecl. + +Note 3: the intention is to also name either the VC or GC +version (it should be arbitrary) as pthread.dll, including +pthread.lib and libpthread.a as appropriate. + +In general: + pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.dll + pthread[VG]{SE,CE,C}.lib + +where: + [VG] indicates the compiler + V - MS VC + G - GNU C + + {SE,CE,C} indicates the exception handling scheme + SE - Structured EH + CE - C++ EH + C - no exceptions - uses setjmp/longjmp + +For example: + pthreadVSE.dll (MSVC/SEH) + pthreadGCE.dll (GNUC/C++ EH) + pthreadGC.dll (GNUC/not dependent on exceptions) + +The GNU library archive file names have changed to: + + libpthreadGCE.a + libpthreadGC.a + + +Other name changes +------------------ + +All snapshots prior to and including snapshot 2000-08-13 +used "_pthread_" as the prefix to library internal +functions, and "_PTHREAD_" to many library internal +macros. These have now been changed to "ptw32_" and "PTW32_" +respectively so as to not conflict with the ANSI standard's +reservation of identifiers beginning with "_" and "__" for +use by compiler implementations only. + +If you have written any applications and you are linking +statically with the pthreads-win32 library then you may have +included a call to _pthread_processInitialize. You will +now have to change that to ptw32_processInitialize. + + +A note on Cleanup code default style +------------------------------------ + +Previously, if not defined, the cleanup style was determined automatically +from the compiler used, and one of the following was defined accordingly: + + __CLEANUP_SEH MSVC only + __CLEANUP_CXX C++, including MSVC++, GNU G++ + __CLEANUP_C C, including GNU GCC, not MSVC + +These defines determine the style of cleanup (see pthread.h) and, +most importantly, the way that cancelation and thread exit (via +pthread_exit) is performed (see the routine ptw32_throw() in private.c). + +In short, the exceptions versions of the library throw an exception +when a thread is canceled or exits (via pthread_exit()), which is +caught by a handler in the thread startup routine, so that the +the correct stack unwinding occurs regardless of where the thread +is when it's canceled or exits via pthread_exit(). + +In this snapshot, unless the build explicitly defines (e.g. via a +compiler option) __CLEANUP_SEH, __CLEANUP_CXX, or __CLEANUP_C, then +the build NOW always defaults to __CLEANUP_C style cleanup. This style +uses setjmp/longjmp in the cancelation and pthread_exit implementations, +and therefore won't do stack unwinding even when linked to applications +that have it (e.g. C++ apps). This is for consistency with most/all +commercial Unix POSIX threads implementations. + +Although it was not clearly documented before, it is still necessary to +build your application using the same __CLEANUP_* define as was +used for the version of the library that you link with, so that the +correct parts of pthread.h are included. That is, the possible +defines require the following library versions: + + __CLEANUP_SEH pthreadVSE.dll + __CLEANUP_CXX pthreadVCE.dll or pthreadGCE.dll + __CLEANUP_C pthreadVC.dll or pthreadGC.dll + +THE POINT OF ALL THIS IS: if you have not been defining one of these +explicitly, then the defaults as described at the top of this +section were being used. + +THIS NOW CHANGES, as has been explained above, but to try to make this +clearer here's an example: + +If you were building your application with MSVC++ i.e. using C++ +exceptions (rather than SEH) and not explicitly defining one of +__CLEANUP_*, then __CLEANUP_C++ was defined for you in pthread.h. +You should have been linking with pthreadVCE.dll, which does +stack unwinding. + +If you now build your application as you had before, pthread.h will now +set __CLEANUP_C as the default style, and you will need to link +with pthreadVC.dll. Stack unwinding will now NOT occur when a thread +is canceled, or the thread calls pthread_exit(). + +Your application will now most likely behave differently to previous +versions, and in non-obvious ways. Most likely is that locally +instantiated objects may not be destroyed or cleaned up after a thread +is canceled. + +If you want the same behaviour as before, then you must now define +__CLEANUP_C++ explicitly using a compiler option and link with +pthreadVCE.dll as you did before. + + +WHY ARE WE MAKING THE DEFAULT STYLE LESS EXCEPTION-FRIENDLY? +Because no commercial Unix POSIX threads implementation allows you to +choose to have stack unwinding. Therefore, providing it in pthread-win32 +as a default is dangerous. We still provide the choice but unless +you consciously choose to do otherwise, your pthreads applications will +now run or crash in similar ways irrespective of the threads platform +you use. Or at least this is the hope. + + + +Building under VC++ using C++ EH, Structured EH, or just C +---------------------------------------------------------- + +From the source directory run one of the following: + +nmake clean VCE (builds the VC++ C++ EH version pthreadVCE.dll) + +or: + +nmake clean VSE (builds the VC++ structured EH version pthreadVSE.dll) + +or: + +nmake clean VC (builds the VC setjmp/longjmp version of pthreadVC.dll) + +You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and +running the target corresponding to the DLL version you built: + +nmake clean VCE + +or: + +nmake clean VSE + +or: + +nmake clean VC + +or: + +nmake clean VCX (tests the VC version of the library with C++ (EH) + applications) + + +Building under Mingw32 +---------------------- + +The dll can be built with Mingw32 gcc-2.95.2-1 after you've +made the changes to Mingw32 desribed in Question 6 of the FAQ. + +From the source directory, run + +make clean GCE + +or: + +make clean GC + +You can run the testsuite by changing to the "tests" directory and +running + +make clean GCE + +or: + +make clean GC + +or: + +make clean GCX (tests the GC version of the library with C++ (EH) + applications) + + +Building the library under Cygwin +--------------------------------- + +Not tested by me although I think some people have done this. +Not sure how successfully though. + +Cygwin is implementing it's own POSIX threads routines and these +will be the ones to use if you develop using Cygwin. + + +Ready to run binaries +--------------------- + +For convenience, the following ready-to-run files can be downloaded +from the FTP site (see under "Availability" below): + + pthread.h + semaphore.h + sched.h + pthread.def + pthreadVCE.dll - built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH + pthreadVCE.lib + pthreadVC.dll - built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp + pthreadVC.lib + pthreadVSE.dll - built with MSVC compiler using SEH + pthreadVSE.lib + pthreadGCE.dll - built with Mingw32 G++ + pthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll + pthreadGC.dll - built with Mingw32 GCC + pthreadGC.a - derived from pthreadGC.dll + gcc.dll - needed to build and run applications that use + pthreadGCE.dll. + + +Building applications with the library +-------------------------------------- + +Use the appropriate DLL and LIB files to match the exception handing +that you use in your application, or specifically, in your POSIX +threads.

- COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
-
- Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
-
- AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
-
- Implementation of POSIX condition variables - OS.cpp/.h
-
- DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
-
- EXECUTION? YES!
-
- SYNOPSIS:
-
- a) spurious wakeups (minor problem)
- b) lost signals
- c) broadcast deadlock
- d) unfairness (minor problem)
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- Please see attached copy of discussion thread
- from comp.programming.threads for more details on
- some reported problems. (i've also posted a "fyi"
- message to ace-users a week or two ago but
- unfortunately did not get any response so far).
-
- It seems that current implementation suffers from
- two essential problems:
-
- 1) cond.waiters_count does not accurately reflect
- number of waiters blocked on semaphore - w/o
- proper synchronisation that could result (in the
- time window when counter is not accurate)
- in spurious wakeups organised by subsequent
- _signals and _broadcasts.
-
- 2) Always having (with no e.g. copy_and_clear/..)
- the same queue in use (semaphore+counter)
- neither signal nor broadcast provide 'atomic'
- behaviour with respect to other threads/subsequent
- calls to signal/broadcast/wait.
-
- Each problem and combination of both could produce
- various nasty things:
-
- a) spurious wakeups (minor problem)
-
- it is possible that waiter(s) which was already
- unblocked even so is still counted as blocked
- waiter. signal and broadcast will release
- semaphore which will produce a spurious wakeup
- for a 'real' waiter coming later.
-
- b) lost signals
-
- signalling thread ends up consuming its own
- signal. please see demo/discussion below.
-
- c) broadcast deadlock
-
- last_waiter processing code does not correctly
- handle the case with multiple threads
- waiting for the end of broadcast.
- please see demo/discussion below.
-
- d) unfairness (minor problem)
-
- without SignalObjectAndWait some waiter(s)
- may end up consuming broadcasted signals
- multiple times (spurious wakeups) because waiter
- thread(s) can be preempted before they call
- semaphore wait (but after count++ and mtx.unlock).
-
- REPEAT BY:
-
- See below... run problem demos programs (tennis.cpp and
- tennisb.cpp) number of times concurrently (on multiprocessor)
- and in multiple sessions or just add a couple of "Sleep"s
- as described in the attached copy of discussion thread
- from comp.programming.threads
-
- SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
-
- See attached patch to pthread-win32.. well, I can not
- claim that it is completely bug free but at least my
- test and tests provided by pthreads-win32 seem to work.
- Perhaps that will help.
-
- regards,
- alexander.

-The implementation you suggested is indeed correct
-one (yes, now I see it :). However it requires from
-signal/broadcast nothing more than to "{ return 0; }"
-That is not the case for pthread-win32 and ACE
-implementations. I do think that these implementations
-(basically the same implementation) have some serious
-problems with wait/signal/broadcast calls. I am looking

-or not. I think that I can demonstrate what I mean
-using one or two small sample programs.

-
-well, you can probably loose your bet.. it was indeed stolen
-by "another" thread but not the one you seem to think of.
-
-I think that what actually happens is the following:
-
-H:\SA\UXX\pt\PTHREADS\TESTS>tennis3.exe
-
-PLAYER-A
-
-PLAYER-B
-
-----PLAYER-B: SPURIOUS WAKEUP!!!
-
-PLAYER-A GONE
-
-PLAYER-B GONE
-
-GAME OVER
-
-H:\SA\UXX\pt\PTHREADS\TESTS>
-
-here you can see that PLAYER-B after playing his first
-ball (which came via signal from PLAYER-A) just dropped
-it down. What happened is that his signal to player A
-was consumed as spurious wakeup by himself (player B).
-
-The implementation has a problem:

- /*** GO INTO WAIT ON THE SAME CONDITION AND OVERTAKE
- /*** ORIGINAL WAITER(S) CONSUMING ITS OWN SIGNAL!
-
- cond.sem.wait
-
-Player-A after playing game's initial ball went into
-wait (called _wait) but was pre-empted before reaching
-wait semaphore. He was counted as waiter but was not
-actually waiting/blocked yet.
-
-===============
-signal threads:
-===============
-
-{ /** Critical Section
-
- waiters_count = cond.waiters_count
-
-}
-
- if ( waiters_count != 0 )
-
- sem.post 1
-
- endif
-
-Player-B after he received signal/ball from Player A
-called _signal. The _signal did see that there was
-one waiter blocked on the condition (Player-A) and
-released the semaphore.. (but it did not unblock
-Player-A because he was not actually blocked).
-Player-B thread continued its execution, called _wait,
-was counted as second waiter BUT was allowed to slip
-through opened semaphore gate (which was opened for
-Player-B) and received his own signal. Player B remained
-blocked followed by Player A. Deadlock happened which
-lasted until main thread came in and said game over.
-
-It seems to me that the implementation fails to
-correctly implement the following statement
-from specification:
-
-http://www.opengroup.org/
-onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/pthread_cond_wait.html
-
-"These functions atomically release mutex and cause
-the calling thread to block on the condition variable
-cond; atomically here means "atomically with respect
-to access by another thread to the mutex and then the
-condition variable". That is, if another thread is
-able to acquire the mutex after the about-to-block
-thread has released it, then a subsequent call to
-pthread_cond_signal() or pthread_cond_broadcast()
-in that thread behaves as if it were issued after
-the about-to-block thread has blocked."
-
-Question: Am I right?

-a) cond.waiters_count does not accurately reflect
-number of waiters blocked on semaphore - that could
-result (in the time window when counter is not accurate)
-in spurios wakeups organised by subsequent _signals
-and _broadcasts. From standard compliance point of view
-that is OK but that could be a real problem from
-performance/efficiency point of view.
-
-b) If subsequent broadcast happen to go into wait on
-cond.auto_reset_event_or_sem before previous
-broadcast was unblocked from cond.auto_reset_event_or_sem
-by its last waiter, one of two blocked threads will
-remain blocked because last_waiter processing code
-fails to unblock both threads.
-
-In the situation with tennisb.c the Player-B was put
-in a deadlock by noise (broadcast) coming from main
-thread. And since Player-B holds the game state
-mutex when it calls broadcast, the whole program
-stalled: Player-A was deadlocked on mutex and
-main thread after finishing with producing the noise
-was deadlocked on mutex too (needed to declare the
-game over)

-Subject: win32 conditions: sem+counter+event = broadcast_deadlock +
- spur.wakeup/unfairness/incorrectness ??
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Hi,
-
-Problem 1: broadcast_deadlock
-
-It seems that current implementation does not provide "atomic"
-broadcasts. That may lead to "nested" broadcasts... and it seems
-that nested case is not handled correctly -> producing a broadcast
-DEADLOCK as a result.
-
-Scenario:
-
-N (>1) waiting threads W1..N are blocked (in _wait) on condition's
-semaphore.
-
-Thread B1 calls pthread_cond_broadcast, which results in "releasing" N
-W threads via incrementing semaphore counter by N (stored in
-cv->waiters) BUT cv->waiters counter does not change!! The caller
-thread B1 remains blocked on cv->waitersDone event (auto-reset!!) BUT
-condition is not protected from starting another broadcast (when called
-on another thread) while still waiting for the "old" broadcast to
-complete on thread B1.
-
-M (>=0, <N) W threads are fast enough to go thru their _wait call and
-decrement cv->waiters counter.
-
-L (N-M) "late" waiter W threads are a) still blocked/not returned from
-their semaphore wait call or b) were preempted after sem_wait but before
-lock( &cv->waitersLock ) or c) are blocked on cv->waitersLock.
-
-cv->waiters is still > 0 (= L).
-
-Another thread B2 (or some W thread from M group) calls
-pthread_cond_broadcast and gains access to counter... neither a) nor b)
-prevent thread B2 in pthread_cond_broadcast from gaining access to
-counter and starting another broadcast ( for c) - it depends on
-cv->waitersLock scheduling rules: FIFO=OK, PRTY=PROBLEM,... )
-
-That call to pthread_cond_broadcast (on thread B2) will result in
-incrementing semaphore by cv->waiters (=L) which is INCORRECT (all
-W1..N were in fact already released by thread B1) and waiting on
-_auto-reset_ event cv->waitersDone which is DEADLY WRONG (produces a
-deadlock)...
-
-All late W1..L threads now have a chance to complete their _wait call.
-Last W_L thread sets an auto-reselt event cv->waitersDone which will
-release either B1 or B2 leaving one of B threads in a deadlock.
-
-Problem 2: spur.wakeup/unfairness/incorrectness
-
-It seems that:
-
-a) because of the same problem with counter which does not reflect the
-actual number of NOT RELEASED waiters, the signal call may increment
-a semaphore counter w/o having a waiter blocked on it. That will result
-in (best case) spurious wake ups - performance degradation due to
-unnecessary context switches and predicate re-checks and (in worth case)
-unfairness/incorrectness problem - see b)
-
-b) neither signal nor broadcast prevent other threads - "new waiters"
-(and in the case of signal, the caller thread as well) from going into
-_wait and overtaking "old" waiters (already released but still not returned
-from sem_wait on condition's semaphore). Win semaphore just [API DOC]:
-"Maintains a count between zero and some maximum value, limiting the number
-of threads that are simultaneously accessing a shared resource." Calling
-ReleaseSemaphore does not imply (at least not documented) that on return
-from ReleaseSemaphore all waiters will in fact become released (returned
-from their Wait... call) and/or that new waiters calling Wait... afterwards
-will become less importance. It is NOT documented to be an atomic release
-of
-waiters... And even if it would be there is still a problem with a thread
-being preempted after Wait on semaphore and before Wait on cv->waitersLock
-and scheduling rules for cv->waitersLock itself
-(??WaitForMultipleObjects??)
-That may result in unfairness/incorrectness problem as described
-for SetEvent impl. in "Strategies for Implementing POSIX Condition
-Variables
-on Win32": http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html
-
-Unfairness -- The semantics of the POSIX pthread_cond_broadcast function is
-to wake up all threads currently blocked in wait calls on the condition
-variable. The awakened threads then compete for the external_mutex. To
-ensure
-fairness, all of these threads should be released from their
-pthread_cond_wait calls and allowed to recheck their condition expressions
-before other threads can successfully complete a wait on the condition
-variable.
-
-Unfortunately, the SetEvent implementation above does not guarantee that
-all
-threads sleeping on the condition variable when cond_broadcast is called
-will
-acquire the external_mutex and check their condition expressions. Although
-the Pthreads specification does not mandate this degree of fairness, the
-lack of fairness can cause starvation.
-
-To illustrate the unfairness problem, imagine there are 2 threads, C1 and
-C2,
-that are blocked in pthread_cond_wait on condition variable not_empty_ that
-is guarding a thread-safe message queue. Another thread, P1 then places two
-messages onto the queue and calls pthread_cond_broadcast. If C1 returns
-from
-pthread_cond_wait, dequeues and processes the message, and immediately
-waits
-again then it and only it may end up acquiring both messages. Thus, C2 will
-never get a chance to dequeue a message and run.
-
-The following illustrates the sequence of events:
-
-1. Thread C1 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_
-2. Thread C2 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_
-3. Thread P1 enqueues 2 messages and broadcasts to CV not_empty_
-4. Thread P1 exits
-5. Thread C1 wakes up from CV not_empty_, dequeues a message and runs
-6. Thread C1 waits again on CV not_empty_, immediately dequeues the 2nd
- message and runs
-7. Thread C1 exits
-8. Thread C2 is the only thread left and blocks forever since
- not_empty_ will never be signaled
-
-Depending on the algorithm being implemented, this lack of fairness may
-yield
-concurrent programs that have subtle bugs. Of course, application
-developers
-should not rely on the fairness semantics of pthread_cond_broadcast.
-However,
-there are many cases where fair implementations of condition variables can
-simplify application code.
-
-Incorrectness -- A variation on the unfairness problem described above
-occurs
-when a third consumer thread, C3, is allowed to slip through even though it
-was not waiting on condition variable not_empty_ when a broadcast occurred.
-
-To illustrate this, we will use the same scenario as above: 2 threads, C1
-and
-C2, are blocked dequeuing messages from the message queue. Another thread,
-P1
-then places two messages onto the queue and calls pthread_cond_broadcast.
-C1
-returns from pthread_cond_wait, dequeues and processes the message. At this
-time, C3 acquires the external_mutex, calls pthread_cond_wait and waits on
-the events in WaitForMultipleObjects. Since C2 has not had a chance to run
-yet, the BROADCAST event is still signaled. C3 then returns from
-WaitForMultipleObjects, and dequeues and processes the message in the
-queue.
-Thus, C2 will never get a chance to dequeue a message and run.
-
-The following illustrates the sequence of events:
-
-1. Thread C1 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_
-2. Thread C2 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_
-3. Thread P1 enqueues 2 messages and broadcasts to CV not_empty_
-4. Thread P1 exits
-5. Thread C1 wakes up from CV not_empty_, dequeues a message and runs
-6. Thread C1 exits
-7. Thread C3 waits on CV not_empty_, immediately dequeues the 2nd
- message and runs
-8. Thread C3 exits
-9. Thread C2 is the only thread left and blocks forever since
- not_empty_ will never be signaled
-
-In the above case, a thread that was not waiting on the condition variable
-when a broadcast occurred was allowed to proceed. This leads to incorrect
-semantics for a condition variable.

-Sorry all. Busy week.
-
-> this insures the fairness
-> which POSIX does not (e.g. two subsequent broadcasts - the gate does
-insure
-> that first wave waiters will start the race for the mutex before waiters
-> from the second wave - Linux pthreads process/unblock both waves
-> concurrently...)
-
-I'm not sure how we are any more fair about this than Linux. We certainly
-don't guarantee that the threads released by the first broadcast will get
-the external mutex before the threads of the second wave. In fact, it is
-possible that those threads will never get the external mutex if there is
-enough contention for it.
-
-> e.g. i was thinking about implementation with a pool of
-> N semaphores/counters [...]
-
-I considered that too. The problem is as you mentioned in a). You really
-need to assign threads to semaphores once you know how you want to wake them
-up, not when they first begin waiting which is the only time you can assign
-them.
-
-> well, i am not quite sure that i've fully understood your scenario,
-
-Hmm. Well, it think it's an important example, so I'll try again. First, we
-have thread A which we KNOW is waiting on a condition. As soon as it becomes
-unblocked for any reason, we will know because it will set a flag. Since the
-flag is not set, we are 100% confident that thread A is waiting on the
-condition. We have another thread, thread B, which has acquired the mutex
-and is about to wait on the condition. Thus it is pretty clear that at any
-point, either just A is waiting, or A and B are waiting. Now thread C comes
-along. C is about to do a broadcast on the condition. A broadcast is
-guaranteed to unblock all threads currently waiting on a condition, right?
-Again, we said that either just A is waiting, or A and B are both waiting.
-So, when C does its broadcast, depending upon whether B has started waiting
-or not, thread C will unblock A or unblock A and B. Either way, C must
-unblock A, right?
-
-Now, you said anything that happens is correct so long as a) "a signal is
-not lost between unlocking the mutex and waiting on the condition" and b) "a
-thread must not steal a signal it sent", correct? Requirement b) is easy to
-satisfy: in this scenario, thread C will never wait on the condition, so it
-won't steal any signals. Requirement a) is not hard either. The only way we
-could fail to meet requirement a) in this scenario is if thread B was
-started waiting but didn't wake up because a signal was lost. This will not
-happen.
-
-Now, here is what happens. Assume thread C beats thread B. Thread C looks to
-see how many threads are waiting on the condition. Thread C sees just one
-thread, thread A, waiting. It does a broadcast waking up just one thread
-because just one thread is waiting. Next, before A can become unblocked,
-thread B begins waiting. Now there are two threads waiting, but only one
-will be unblocked. Suppose B wins. B will become unblocked. A will not
-become unblocked, because C only unblocked one thread (sema_post cond, 1).
-So at the end, B finishes and A remains blocked.
-
-We have met both of your requirements, so by your rules, this is an
-acceptable outcome. However, I think that the spec says this is an
-unacceptable outcome! We know for certain that A was waiting and that C did
-a broadcast, but A did not become unblocked! Yet, the spec says that a
-broadcast wakes up all waiting threads. This did not happen. Do you agree
-that this shows your rules are not strict enough?
-
-> and what about N2? :) this one does allow almost everything.
-
-Don't get me started about rule #2. I'll NEVER advocate an algorithm that
-uses rule 2 as an excuse to suck!
-
-> but it is done (decrement)under mutex protection - this is not a subject
-> of a race condition.
-
-You are correct. My mistake.
-
-> i would remove "_bTimedOut=false".. after all, it was a real timeout..
-
-I disagree. A thread that can't successfully retract its waiter status can't
-really have timed out. If a thread can't return without executing extra code
-to deal with the fact that someone tried to unblock it, I think it is a poor
-idea to pretend we
-didn't realize someone was trying to signal us. After all, a signal is more
-important than a time out.
-
-> when nSignaled != 0, it is possible to update nWaiters (--) and do not
-> touch nGone
-
-I realize this, but I was thinking that writing it the other ways saves
-another if statement.
-
-> adjust only if nGone != 0 and save one cache memory write - probably much
-slower than 'if'
-
-Hmm. You are probably right.
-
-> well, in a strange (e.g. timeout test) program you may (theoretically)
-> have an overflow of nWaiters/nGone counters (with waiters repeatedly
-timing
-> out and no signals at all).
-
-Also true. Not only that, but you also have the possibility that one could
-overflow the number of waiters as well! However, considering the limit you
-have chosen for nWaitersGone, I suppose it is unlikely that anyone would be
-able to get INT_MAX/2 threads waiting on a single condition. :)
-
-Analysis of 8a:
-
-It looks correct to me.
-
-What are IPC semaphores?
-
-In the line where you state, "else if ( nWaitersBlocked > nWaitersGone ) {
-// HARMLESS RACE CONDITION!" there is no race condition for nWaitersGone
-because nWaitersGone is never modified without holding mtxUnblockLock. You
-are correct that there is a harmless race on nWaitersBlocked, which can
-increase and make the condition become true just after we check it. If this
-happens, we interpret it as the wait starting after the signal.
-
-I like your optimization of this. You could improve Alg. 6 as follows:
----------- Algorithm 6b ----------
-signal(bAll) {
- _nSig=0
- lock counters
- // this is safe because nWaiting can only be decremented by a thread that
- // owns counters and nGone can only be changed by a thread that owns
-counters.
- if (nWaiting>nGone) {
- if (0==nSignaled) {
- sema_wait gate // close gate if not already closed
- }
- if (nGone>0) {
- nWaiting-=nGone
- nGone=0
- }
- _nSig=bAll?nWaiting:1
- nSignaled+=_nSig
- nWaiting-=_nSig
- }
- unlock counters
- if (0!=_nSig) {
- sema_post queue, _nSig
- }
-}
----------- ---------- ----------
-I guess this wouldn't apply to Alg 8a because nWaitersGone changes meanings
-depending upon whether the gate is open or closed.
-
-In the loop "while ( nWaitersWasGone-- ) {" you do a sema_wait on
-semBlockLock. Perhaps waiting on semBlockQueue would be a better idea.
-
-What have you gained by making the last thread to be signaled do the waits
-for all the timed out threads, besides added complexity? It took me a long
-time to figure out what your objective was with this, to realize you were
-using nWaitersGone to mean two different things, and to verify that you
-hadn't introduced any bug by doing this. Even now I'm not 100% sure.
-
-What has all this playing about with nWaitersGone really gained us besides a
-lot of complexity (it is much harder to verify that this solution is
-correct), execution overhead (we now have a lot more if statements to
-evaluate), and space overhead (more space for the extra code, and another
-integer in our data)? We did manage to save a lock/unlock pair in an
-uncommon case (when a time out occurs) at the above mentioned expenses in
-the common cases.
-
-As for 8b, c, and d, they look ok though I haven't studied them thoroughly.
-What would you use them for?
-
- Later,
- -Louis! :)

-Hi Louis,

->
->I'm not sure how we are any more fair about this than Linux. We certainly

->the external mutex before the threads of the second wave. In fact, it is
->possible that those threads will never get the external mutex if there is

-
-correct. but gate is nevertheless more fair than Linux because of the
-barrier it establishes between two races (1st and 2nd wave waiters) for
-the mutex which under 'normal' circumstances (e.g. all threads of equal
-priorities,..) will 'probably' result in fair behaviour with respect to
-mutex ownership.
-
->> well, i am not quite sure that i've fully understood your scenario,
->
->Hmm. Well, it think it's an important example, so I'll try again. ...
-
-ok. now i seem to understand this example. well, now it seems to me
-that the only meaningful rule is just:
-
-a) "a signal is not lost between unlocking the mutex and waiting on the
-condition"
-
-and that the rule
-
-b) "a thread must not steal a signal it sent"
-
-is not needed at all because a thread which violates b) also violates a).
-
-i'll try to explain..
-
-i think that the most important thing is how POSIX defines waiter's
-visibility:
-
-"if another thread is able to acquire the mutex after the about-to-block
-thread
-has released it, then a subsequent call to pthread_cond_signal() or
-pthread_cond_broadcast() in that thread behaves as if it were issued after
-the about-to-block thread has blocked. "
-
-my understanding is the following:
-
-1) there is no guarantees whatsoever with respect to whether
-signal/broadcast
-will actually unblock any 'waiter' if it is done w/o acquiring the mutex
-first
-(note that a thread may release it before signal/broadcast - it does not
-matter).
-
-2) it is guaranteed that waiters become 'visible' - eligible for unblock as
-soon
-as signalling thread acquires the mutex (but not before!!)
-
-so..
-
->So, when C does its broadcast, depending upon whether B has started
-waiting
->or not, thread C will unblock A or unblock A and B. Either way, C must
->unblock A, right?
-
-right. but only if C did acquire the mutex prior to broadcast (it may
-release it before broadcast as well).
-
-implementation will violate waiters visibility rule (signal will become
-lost)
-if C will not unblock A.
-
->Now, here is what happens. Assume thread C beats thread B. Thread C looks
-to
->see how many threads are waiting on the condition. Thread C sees just one
->thread, thread A, waiting. It does a broadcast waking up just one thread
->because just one thread is waiting. Next, before A can become unblocked,
->thread B begins waiting. Now there are two threads waiting, but only one
->will be unblocked. Suppose B wins. B will become unblocked. A will not
->become unblocked, because C only unblocked one thread (sema_post cond, 1).
->So at the end, B finishes and A remains blocked.
-
-thread C did acquire the mutex ("Thread C sees just one thread, thread A,
-waiting"). beginning from that moment it is guaranteed that subsequent
-broadcast will unblock A. Otherwise we will have a lost signal with respect
-to A. I do think that it does not matter whether the signal was physically
-(completely) lost or was just stolen by another thread (B) - in both cases
-it was simply lost with respect to A.
-
->..Do you agree that this shows your rules are not strict enough?
-
-probably the opposite.. :-) i think that it shows that the only meaningful
-rule is
-
-a) "a signal is not lost between unlocking the mutex and waiting on the
-condition"
-
-with clarification of waiters visibility as defined by POSIX above.
-
->> i would remove "_bTimedOut=false".. after all, it was a real timeout..
->
->I disagree. A thread that can't successfully retract its waiter status
-can't
->really have timed out. If a thread can't return without executing extra
-code
->to deal with the fact that someone tried to unblock it, I think it is a
-poor
->idea to pretend we
->didn't realize someone was trying to signal us. After all, a signal is
-more
->important than a time out.
-
-a) POSIX does allow timed out thread to consume a signal (cancelled is
-not).
-b) ETIMEDOUT status just says that: "The time specified by abstime to
-pthread_cond_timedwait() has passed."
-c) it seem to me that hiding timeouts would violate "The
-pthread_cond_timedwait()
-function is the same as pthread_cond_wait() except that an error is
-returned if
-the absolute time specified by abstime passes (that is, system time equals
-or
-exceeds abstime) before the condition cond is signaled or broadcasted"
-because
-the abs. time did really pass before cond was signaled (waiter was
-released via semaphore). however, if it really matters, i could imaging
-that we
-can save an abs. time of signal/broadcast and compare it with timeout after
-unblock to find out whether it was a 'real' timeout or not. absent this
-check
-i do think that hiding timeouts would result in technical violation of
-specification.. but i think that this check is not important and we can
-simply
-trust timeout error code provided by wait since we are not trying to make
-'hard' realtime implementation.
-
->What are IPC semaphores?
-
-<sys/sem.h>
-int semctl(int, int, int, ...);
-int semget(key_t, int, int);
-int semop(int, struct sembuf *, size_t);
-
-they support adjustment of semaphore counter (semvalue)
-in one single call - imaging Win32 ReleaseSemaphore( hsem,-N )
-
->In the line where you state, "else if ( nWaitersBlocked > nWaitersGone ) {
->// HARMLESS RACE CONDITION!" there is no race condition for nWaitersGone
->because nWaitersGone is never modified without holding mtxUnblockLock. You

-this
->happens, we interpret it as the wait starting after the signal.
-
-well, the reason why i've asked on comp.programming.threads whether this
-race
-condition is harmless or not is that in order to be harmless it should not
-violate the waiters visibility rule (see above). Fortunately, we increment
-the counter under protection of external mutex.. so that any (signalling)
-thread which will acquire the mutex next, should see the updated counter
-(in signal) according to POSIX memory visibility rules and mutexes
-(memory barriers). But i am not so sure how it actually works on
-Win32/INTEL
-which does not explicitly define any memory visibility rules :(

-
-well, please consider the following:
-
-1) with multiple waiters unblocked (but some timed out) the trick with
-counter
-seem to ensure potentially higher level of concurrency by not delaying
-most of unblocked waiters for semaphore cleanup - only the last one
-will be delayed but all others would already contend/acquire/release
-the external mutex - the critical section protected by mtxUnblockLock is
-made smaller (increment + couple of IFs is faster than system/kernel call)
-which i think is good in general. however, you are right, this is done
-at expense of 'normal' waiters..
-
-2) some semaphore APIs (e.g. POSIX IPC sems) do allow to adjust the
-semaphore counter in one call => less system/kernel calls.. imagine:
-
-if ( 1 == nSignalsWasLeft ) {
- if ( 0 != nWaitersWasGone ) {
- ReleaseSemaphore( semBlockQueue,-nWaitersWasGone ); // better now
-than spurious later
- }
- sem_post( semBlockLock ); // open the gate
- }
-
-3) even on win32 a single thread doing multiple cleanup calls (to wait)
-will probably result in faster execution (because of processor caching)
-than multiple threads each doing a single call to wait.
-
->As for 8b, c, and d, they look ok though I haven't studied them
-thoroughly.
->What would you use them for?
-
-8b) for semaphores which do not allow to unblock multiple waiters
-in a single call to post/release (e.g. POSIX realtime semaphores -
-<semaphore.h>)
-
-8c/8d) for WinCE prior to 3.0 (WinCE 3.0 does have semaphores)
-
-ok. so, which one is the 'final' algorithm(s) which we should use in
-pthreads-win32??
-
-regards,
-alexander.

-> well, in a strange (e.g. timeout test) program you may (theoretically)
-> have an overflow of nWaiters/nGone counters (with waiters repeatedly
-timing
-> out and no signals at all).
-
-Also true. Not only that, but you also have the possibility that one could
-overflow the number of waiters as well! However, considering the limit you
-have chosen for nWaitersGone, I suppose it is unlikely that anyone would be
-able to get INT_MAX/2 threads waiting on a single condition. :)
-
-Analysis of 8a:
-
-It looks correct to me.
-
-What are IPC semaphores?
-
-In the line where you state, "else if ( nWaitersBlocked > nWaitersGone ) {
-// HARMLESS RACE CONDITION!" there is no race condition for nWaitersGone
-because nWaitersGone is never modified without holding mtxUnblockLock. You
-are correct that there is a harmless race on nWaitersBlocked, which can
-increase and make the condition become true just after we check it. If this
-happens, we interpret it as the wait starting after the signal.
-
-I like your optimization of this. You could improve Alg. 6 as follows:
----------- Algorithm 6b ----------
-signal(bAll) {
- _nSig=0
- lock counters
- // this is safe because nWaiting can only be decremented by a thread that
- // owns counters and nGone can only be changed by a thread that owns
-counters.
- if (nWaiting>nGone) {
- if (0==nSignaled) {
- sema_wait gate // close gate if not already closed
- }
- if (nGone>0) {
- nWaiting-=nGone
- nGone=0
- }
- _nSig=bAll?nWaiting:1
- nSignaled+=_nSig
- nWaiting-=_nSig
- }
- unlock counters
- if (0!=_nSig) {
- sema_post queue, _nSig
- }
-}
----------- ---------- ----------
-I guess this wouldn't apply to Alg 8a because nWaitersGone changes meanings
-depending upon whether the gate is open or closed.
-
-In the loop "while ( nWaitersWasGone-- ) {" you do a sema_wait on
-semBlockLock. Perhaps waiting on semBlockQueue would be a better idea.
-
-What have you gained by making the last thread to be signaled do the waits
-for all the timed out threads, besides added complexity? It took me a long
-time to figure out what your objective was with this, to realize you were
-using nWaitersGone to mean two different things, and to verify that you
-hadn't introduced any bug by doing this. Even now I'm not 100% sure.
-
-What has all this playing about with nWaitersGone really gained us besides
-a
-lot of complexity (it is much harder to verify that this solution is
-correct), execution overhead (we now have a lot more if statements to
-evaluate), and space overhead (more space for the extra code, and another
-integer in our data)? We did manage to save a lock/unlock pair in an
-uncommon case (when a time out occurs) at the above mentioned expenses in
-the common cases.
-
-As for 8b, c, and d, they look ok though I haven't studied them thoroughly.
-What would you use them for?
-
- Later,
- -Louis! :)

That may lead to "nested" broadcasts... and it seems +that nested case is not handled correctly -> producing a broadcast +DEADLOCK as a result. + +Scenario: + +N (>1) waiting threads W1..N are blocked (in _wait) on condition's +semaphore. + +Thread B1 calls pthread_cond_broadcast, which results in "releasing" N +W threads via incrementing semaphore counter by N (stored in +cv->waiters) BUT cv->waiters counter does not change!! The caller +thread B1 remains blocked on cv->waitersDone event (auto-reset!!) BUT +condition is not protected from starting another broadcast (when called +on another thread) while still waiting for the "old" broadcast to +complete on thread B1. + +M (>=0, <N) W threads are fast enough to go thru their _wait call and +decrement cv->waiters counter. + +L (N-M) "late" waiter W threads are a) still blocked/not returned from +their semaphore wait call or b) were preempted after sem_wait but before +lock( &cv->waitersLock ) or c) are blocked on cv->waitersLock. + +cv->waiters is still > 0 (= L). + +Another thread B2 (or some W thread from M group) calls +pthread_cond_broadcast and gains access to counter... neither a) nor b) +prevent thread B2 in pthread_cond_broadcast from gaining access to +counter and starting another broadcast ( for c) - it depends on +cv->waitersLock scheduling rules: FIFO=OK, PRTY=PROBLEM,... ) + +That call to pthread_cond_broadcast (on thread B2) will result in +incrementing semaphore by cv->waiters (=L) which is INCORRECT (all +W1..N were in fact already released by thread B1) and waiting on +_auto-reset_ event cv->waitersDone which is DEADLY WRONG (produces a +deadlock)... + +All late W1..L threads now have a chance to complete their _wait call. +Last W_L thread sets an auto-reselt event cv->waitersDone which will +release either B1 or B2 leaving one of B threads in a deadlock. + +Problem 2: spur.wakeup/unfairness/incorrectness + +It seems that: + +a) because of the same problem with counter which does not reflect the +actual number of NOT RELEASED waiters, the signal call may increment +a semaphore counter w/o having a waiter blocked on it. That will result +in (best case) spurious wake ups - performance degradation due to +unnecessary context switches and predicate re-checks and (in worth case) +unfairness/incorrectness problem - see b) + +b) neither signal nor broadcast prevent other threads - "new waiters" +(and in the case of signal, the caller thread as well) from going into +_wait and overtaking "old" waiters (already released but still not returned +from sem_wait on condition's semaphore). Win semaphore just [API DOC]: +"Maintains a count between zero and some maximum value, limiting the number +of threads that are simultaneously accessing a shared resource." Calling +ReleaseSemaphore does not imply (at least not documented) that on return +from ReleaseSemaphore all waiters will in fact become released (returned +from their Wait... call) and/or that new waiters calling Wait... afterwards +will become less importance. It is NOT documented to be an atomic release +of +waiters... And even if it would be there is still a problem with a thread +being preempted after Wait on semaphore and before Wait on cv->waitersLock +and scheduling rules for cv->waitersLock itself +(??WaitForMultipleObjects??) +That may result in unfairness/incorrectness problem as described +for SetEvent impl. in "Strategies for Implementing POSIX Condition +Variables +on Win32": http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html + +Unfairness -- The semantics of the POSIX pthread_cond_broadcast function is +to wake up all threads currently blocked in wait calls on the condition +variable. The awakened threads then compete for the external_mutex. To +ensure +fairness, all of these threads should be released from their +pthread_cond_wait calls and allowed to recheck their condition expressions +before other threads can successfully complete a wait on the condition +variable. + +Unfortunately, the SetEvent implementation above does not guarantee that +all +threads sleeping on the condition variable when cond_broadcast is called +will +acquire the external_mutex and check their condition expressions. Although +the Pthreads specification does not mandate this degree of fairness, the +lack of fairness can cause starvation. + +To illustrate the unfairness problem, imagine there are 2 threads, C1 and +C2, +that are blocked in pthread_cond_wait on condition variable not_empty_ that +is guarding a thread-safe message queue. Another thread, P1 then places two +messages onto the queue and calls pthread_cond_broadcast. If C1 returns +from +pthread_cond_wait, dequeues and processes the message, and immediately +waits +again then it and only it may end up acquiring both messages. Thus, C2 will +never get a chance to dequeue a message and run. + +The following illustrates the sequence of events: + +1. Thread C1 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_ +2. Thread C2 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_ +3. Thread P1 enqueues 2 messages and broadcasts to CV not_empty_ +4. Thread P1 exits +5. Thread C1 wakes up from CV not_empty_, dequeues a message and runs +6. Thread C1 waits again on CV not_empty_, immediately dequeues the 2nd + message and runs +7. Thread C1 exits +8. Thread C2 is the only thread left and blocks forever since + not_empty_ will never be signaled + +Depending on the algorithm being implemented, this lack of fairness may +yield +concurrent programs that have subtle bugs. Of course, application +developers +should not rely on the fairness semantics of pthread_cond_broadcast. +However, +there are many cases where fair implementations of condition variables can +simplify application code. + +Incorrectness -- A variation on the unfairness problem described above +occurs +when a third consumer thread, C3, is allowed to slip through even though it +was not waiting on condition variable not_empty_ when a broadcast occurred. + +To illustrate this, we will use the same scenario as above: 2 threads, C1 +and +C2, are blocked dequeuing messages from the message queue. Another thread, +P1 +then places two messages onto the queue and calls pthread_cond_broadcast. +C1 +returns from pthread_cond_wait, dequeues and processes the message. At this +time, C3 acquires the external_mutex, calls pthread_cond_wait and waits on +the events in WaitForMultipleObjects. Since C2 has not had a chance to run +yet, the BROADCAST event is still signaled. C3 then returns from +WaitForMultipleObjects, and dequeues and processes the message in the +queue. +Thus, C2 will never get a chance to dequeue a message and run. + +The following illustrates the sequence of events: + +1. Thread C1 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_ +2. Thread C2 attempts to dequeue and waits on CV non_empty_ +3. Thread P1 enqueues 2 messages and broadcasts to CV not_empty_ +4. Thread P1 exits +5. Thread C1 wakes up from CV not_empty_, dequeues a message and runs +6. Thread C1 exits +7. Thread C3 waits on CV not_empty_, immediately dequeues the 2nd + message and runs +8. Thread C3 exits +9. Thread C2 is the only thread left and blocks forever since + not_empty_ will never be signaled + +In the above case, a thread that was not waiting on the condition variable +when a broadcast occurred was allowed to proceed. This leads to incorrect +semantics for a condition variable. + + +COMMENTS??? + +regards, +alexander. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Subject: RE: FYI/comp.programming.threads/Re: pthread_cond_* + implementation questions +Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 11:54:47 +0100 +From: TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com +To: lthomas@arbitrade.com +CC: rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au, Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>, + Nanbor Wang <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu> + +Hi Louis, + +generation number 8.. + +had some time to revisit timeouts/spurious wakeup problem.. +found some bugs (in 7.b/c/d) and something to improve +(7a - using IPC semaphores but it should speedup Win32 +version as well). + +regards, +alexander. + +---------- Algorithm 8a / IMPL_SEM,UNBLOCK_STRATEGY == UNBLOCK_ALL ------ +given: +semBlockLock - bin.semaphore +semBlockQueue - semaphore +mtxExternal - mutex or CS +mtxUnblockLock - mutex or CS +nWaitersGone - int +nWaitersBlocked - int +nWaitersToUnblock - int + +wait( timeout ) { + + [auto: register int result ] // error checking omitted + [auto: register int nSignalsWasLeft ] + [auto: register int nWaitersWasGone ] + + sem_wait( semBlockLock ); + nWaitersBlocked++; + sem_post( semBlockLock ); + + unlock( mtxExternal ); + bTimedOut = sem_wait( semBlockQueue,timeout ); + + lock( mtxUnblockLock ); + if ( 0 != (nSignalsWasLeft = nWaitersToUnblock) ) { + if ( bTimeout ) { // timeout (or canceled) + if ( 0 != nWaitersBlocked ) { + nWaitersBlocked--; + } + else { + nWaitersGone++; // count spurious wakeups + } + } + if ( 0 == --nWaitersToUnblock ) { + if ( 0 != nWaitersBlocked ) { + sem_post( semBlockLock ); // open the gate + nSignalsWasLeft = 0; // do not open the gate below +again + } + else if ( 0 != (nWaitersWasGone = nWaitersGone) ) { + nWaitersGone = 0; + } + } + } + else if ( INT_MAX/2 == ++nWaitersGone ) { // timeout/canceled or spurious +semaphore :-) + sem_wait( semBlockLock ); + nWaitersBlocked -= nWaitersGone; // something is going on here - +test of timeouts? :-) + sem_post( semBlockLock ); + nWaitersGone = 0; + } + unlock( mtxUnblockLock ); + + if ( 1 == nSignalsWasLeft ) { + if ( 0 != nWaitersWasGone ) { + // sem_adjust( -nWaitersWasGone ); + while ( nWaitersWasGone-- ) { + sem_wait( semBlockLock ); // better now than spurious +later + } + } + sem_post( semBlockLock ); // open the gate + } + + lock( mtxExternal ); + + return ( bTimedOut ) ?

The problem is as you mentioned in a). You really +need to assign threads to semaphores once you know how you want to wake them +up, not when they first begin waiting which is the only time you can assign +them. + +> well, i am not quite sure that i've fully understood your scenario, + +Hmm. Well, it think it's an important example, so I'll try again. First, we +have thread A which we KNOW is waiting on a condition. As soon as it becomes +unblocked for any reason, we will know because it will set a flag. Since the +flag is not set, we are 100% confident that thread A is waiting on the +condition. We have another thread, thread B, which has acquired the mutex +and is about to wait on the condition. Thus it is pretty clear that at any +point, either just A is waiting, or A and B are waiting. Now thread C comes +along. C is about to do a broadcast on the condition. A broadcast is +guaranteed to unblock all threads currently waiting on a condition, right? +Again, we said that either just A is waiting, or A and B are both waiting. +So, when C does its broadcast, depending upon whether B has started waiting +or not, thread C will unblock A or unblock A and B. Either way, C must +unblock A, right? + +Now, you said anything that happens is correct so long as a) "a signal is +not lost between unlocking the mutex and waiting on the condition" and b) "a +thread must not steal a signal it sent", correct? Requirement b) is easy to +satisfy: in this scenario, thread C will never wait on the condition, so it +won't steal any signals. Requirement a) is not hard either. The only way we +could fail to meet requirement a) in this scenario is if thread B was +started waiting but didn't wake up because a signal was lost. This will not +happen. + +Now, here is what happens. Assume thread C beats thread B. Thread C looks to +see how many threads are waiting on the condition. Thread C sees just one +thread, thread A, waiting. It does a broadcast waking up just one thread +because just one thread is waiting. Next, before A can become unblocked, +thread B begins waiting. Now there are two threads waiting, but only one +will be unblocked. Suppose B wins. B will become unblocked. A will not +become unblocked, because C only unblocked one thread (sema_post cond, 1). +So at the end, B finishes and A remains blocked. + +We have met both of your requirements, so by your rules, this is an +acceptable outcome. However, I think that the spec says this is an +unacceptable outcome! We know for certain that A was waiting and that C did +a broadcast, but A did not become unblocked! Yet, the spec says that a +broadcast wakes up all waiting threads. This did not happen. Do you agree +that this shows your rules are not strict enough? + +> and what about N2? :) this one does allow almost everything. + +Don't get me started about rule #2.

My mistake. + +> i would remove "_bTimedOut=false".. after all, it was a real timeout.. + +I disagree. A thread that can't successfully retract its waiter status can't +really have timed out. If a thread can't return without executing extra code +to deal with the fact that someone tried to unblock it, I think it is a poor +idea to pretend we +didn't realize someone was trying to signal us.

Not only that, but you also have the possibility that one could +overflow the number of waiters as well! However, considering the limit you +have chosen for nWaitersGone, I suppose it is unlikely that anyone would be +able to get INT_MAX/2 threads waiting on a single condition. :) + +Analysis of 8a: + +It looks correct to me. + +What are IPC semaphores? + +In the line where you state, "else if ( nWaitersBlocked > nWaitersGone ) { +// HARMLESS RACE CONDITION!" there is no race condition for nWaitersGone +because nWaitersGone is never modified without holding mtxUnblockLock. You +are correct that there is a harmless race on nWaitersBlocked, which can +increase and make the condition become true just after we check it. If this +happens, we interpret it as the wait starting after the signal. + +I like your optimization of this. You could improve Alg. 6 as follows: +---------- Algorithm 6b ---------- +signal(bAll) { + _nSig=0 + lock counters + // this is safe because nWaiting can only be decremented by a thread that + // owns counters and nGone can only be changed by a thread that owns +counters. + if (nWaiting>nGone) { + if (0==nSignaled) { + sema_wait gate // close gate if not already closed + } + if (nGone>0) { + nWaiting-=nGone + nGone=0 + } + _nSig=bAll?nWaiting:1 + nSignaled+=_nSig + nWaiting-=_nSig + } + unlock counters + if (0!=_nSig) { + sema_post queue, _nSig + } +} +---------- ---------- ---------- +I guess this wouldn't apply to Alg 8a because nWaitersGone changes meanings +depending upon whether the gate is open or closed. + +In the loop "while ( nWaitersWasGone-- ) {" you do a sema_wait on +semBlockLock. Perhaps waiting on semBlockQueue would be a better idea. + +What have you gained by making the last thread to be signaled do the waits +for all the timed out threads, besides added complexity? It took me a long +time to figure out what your objective was with this, to realize you were +using nWaitersGone to mean two different things, and to verify that you +hadn't introduced any bug by doing this. Even now I'm not 100% sure. + +What has all this playing about with nWaitersGone really gained us besides a +lot of complexity (it is much harder to verify that this solution is +correct), execution overhead (we now have a lot more if statements to +evaluate), and space overhead (more space for the extra code, and another +integer in our data)? We did manage to save a lock/unlock pair in an +uncommon case (when a time out occurs) at the above mentioned expenses in +the common cases. + +As for 8b, c, and d, they look ok though I haven't studied them thoroughly. +What would you use them for? + + Later, + -Louis! :) + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Subject: RE: FYI/comp.programming.threads/Re: pthread_cond_* implementatio + n questions +Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 15:51:28 +0100 +From: TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com +To: Louis Thomas <lthomas@arbitrade.com> +CC: rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au, Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net>, + Nanbor Wang <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu> + +Hi Louis, + +>> that first wave waiters will start the race for the mutex before waiters +>> from the second wave - Linux pthreads process/unblock both waves +>> concurrently...) +> +>I'm not sure how we are any more fair about this than Linux.

We certainly +don't guarantee that the threads released by the first broadcast will get +the external mutex before the threads of the second wave. In fact, it is +possible that those threads will never get the external mutex if there is +enough contention for it. + +> e.g. i was thinking about implementation with a pool of +> N semaphores/counters [...] + +I considered that too. The problem is as you mentioned in a). You really +need to assign threads to semaphores once you know how you want to wake +them +up, not when they first begin waiting which is the only time you can assign +them. + +> well, i am not quite sure that i've fully understood your scenario, + +Hmm. Well, it think it's an important example, so I'll try again. First, we +have thread A which we KNOW is waiting on a condition. As soon as it +becomes +unblocked for any reason, we will know because it will set a flag. Since +the +flag is not set, we are 100% confident that thread A is waiting on the +condition. We have another thread, thread B, which has acquired the mutex +and is about to wait on the condition. Thus it is pretty clear that at any +point, either just A is waiting, or A and B are waiting. Now thread C comes +along. C is about to do a broadcast on the condition. A broadcast is +guaranteed to unblock all threads currently waiting on a condition, right? +Again, we said that either just A is waiting, or A and B are both waiting. +So, when C does its broadcast, depending upon whether B has started waiting +or not, thread C will unblock A or unblock A and B. Either way, C must +unblock A, right? + +Now, you said anything that happens is correct so long as a) "a signal is +not lost between unlocking the mutex and waiting on the condition" and b) +"a +thread must not steal a signal it sent", correct? Requirement b) is easy to +satisfy: in this scenario, thread C will never wait on the condition, so it +won't steal any signals. Requirement a) is not hard either. The only way +we +could fail to meet requirement a) in this scenario is if thread B was +started waiting but didn't wake up because a signal was lost. This will not +happen. + +Now, here is what happens. Assume thread C beats thread B. Thread C looks +to +see how many threads are waiting on the condition. Thread C sees just one +thread, thread A, waiting. It does a broadcast waking up just one thread +because just one thread is waiting. Next, before A can become unblocked, +thread B begins waiting. Now there are two threads waiting, but only one +will be unblocked. Suppose B wins. B will become unblocked. A will not +become unblocked, because C only unblocked one thread (sema_post cond, 1). +So at the end, B finishes and A remains blocked. + +We have met both of your requirements, so by your rules, this is an +acceptable outcome. However, I think that the spec says this is an +unacceptable outcome! We know for certain that A was waiting and that C did +a broadcast, but A did not become unblocked! Yet, the spec says that a +broadcast wakes up all waiting threads. This did not happen. Do you agree +that this shows your rules are not strict enough? + +> and what about N2? :) this one does allow almost everything. + +Don't get me started about rule #2. I'll NEVER advocate an algorithm that +uses rule 2 as an excuse to suck! + +> but it is done (decrement)under mutex protection - this is not a subject +> of a race condition. + +You are correct. My mistake. + +> i would remove "_bTimedOut=false".. after all, it was a real timeout.. + +I disagree. A thread that can't successfully retract its waiter status +can't +really have timed out. If a thread can't return without executing extra +code +to deal with the fact that someone tried to unblock it, I think it is a +poor +idea to pretend we +didn't realize someone was trying to signal us. After all, a signal is more +important than a time out. + +> when nSignaled != 0, it is possible to update nWaiters (--) and do not +> touch nGone + +I realize this, but I was thinking that writing it the other ways saves +another if statement. + +> adjust only if nGone != 0 and save one cache memory write - probably much +slower than 'if' + +Hmm. You are probably right. + +> well, in a strange (e.g. timeout test) program you may (theoretically) +> have an overflow of nWaiters/nGone counters (with waiters repeatedly +timing +> out and no signals at all). + +Also true. Not only that, but you also have the possibility that one could +overflow the number of waiters as well! However, considering the limit you +have chosen for nWaitersGone, I suppose it is unlikely that anyone would be +able to get INT_MAX/2 threads waiting on a single condition. :) + +Analysis of 8a: + +It looks correct to me. + +What are IPC semaphores? + +In the line where you state, "else if ( nWaitersBlocked > nWaitersGone ) { +// HARMLESS RACE CONDITION!" there is no race condition for nWaitersGone +because nWaitersGone is never modified without holding mtxUnblockLock.
