+
+ * pthread.h (pthread_mutexattr_setforcecs_np): New prototype.
+
+ * mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_init): Init 'pshared' and 'forcecs'
+ attributes to 0.
+ (pthread_mutexattr_setforcecs_np): New function (not portable).
+
+ * pthread.h (pthread_mutex_t):
+ Add 'mutex' element. Set to NULL in PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER.
+ The pthread_mutex_*() routines will try to optimise performance
+ by choosing either mutexes or critical sections as the basis
+ for pthread mutexes for each indevidual mutex.
+ (pthread_mutexattr_t_): Add 'forcecs' element.
+ Some applications may choose to force use of critical sections
+ if they know that:-
+ the mutex is PROCESS_PRIVATE and,
+ either the OS supports TryEnterCriticalSection() or
+ pthread_mutex_trylock() will never be called on the mutex.
+ This attribute will be setable via a non-portable routine.
+
+ 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.

+
+ * pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER): Init new 'staticinit'
+ value to '1' and existing 'valid' value to '1'.
+
+ * global.c (_pthread_mutex_test_init_lock): Add.
+
+ * implement.h (_pthread_mutex_test_init_lock.): Add extern.
+
+ * private.c (_pthread_processInitialize): Init critical section for
+ global lock used by _mutex_check_need_init().
+ (_pthread_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.
