+2000-01-04 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
+
+ * private.c (_pthread_get_exception_services_code): New; returns
+ value of EXCEPTION_PTHREAD_SERVICES.
+ (_pthread_processInitialize): Remove initialisation of
+ _pthread_exception_services which is no longer needed.
+
+ * pthread.h (_pthread_exception_services): Remove extern.
+ (_pthread_get_exception_services_code): Add function prototype;
+ use this to return EXCEPTION_PTHREAD_SERVICES value instead of
+ using the _pthread_exception_services variable which I had
+ trouble exporting through pthread.def.
+
+ * global.c (_pthread_exception_services): Remove declaration.
+
+1999-11-22 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
+
+ * implement.h: Forward declare _pthread_new();
+
+ * misc.c (_pthread_new): New; alloc and initialise a new pthread_t.
+ (pthread_self): New thread struct is generated by new routine
+ _pthread_new().
+
+ * create.c (pthread_create): New thread struct is generated
+ by new routine_pthread_new().
+
+1999-11-21 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
+
+ * global.c (_pthread_exception_services): Declare new variable.
+
+ * private.c (_pthread_threadStart): Destroy thread's
+ cancelLock mutex; make 'catch' and '__except' usageimmune to
+ redfinitions in pthread.h.
+ (_pthread_processInitialize): Init new constant _pthread_exception_services.
+
+ * create.c (pthread_create): Initialise thread's cancelLock
+ mutex.
+
+ * cleanup.c (pthread_pop_cleanup): Make 'catch' and '__except'
+ usage immune to redfinition s in pthread.h.
+
+ * private.c: Ditto.
+
+ * pthread.h (catch): Redefine 'catch' so that C++ applications
+ won't catch our internal exceptions.
+ (__except): ditto for __except.
+
+ * implement.h (_pthread_catch): Define internal version
+ of 'catch' because 'catch' is redefined by pthread.h.
+ (__except): ditto for __except.
+ (struct pthread_t_): Add cancelLock mutex for async cancel
+ safety.
+
+ * cancel.c (_pthread_cancel_self): New; part of the async
+ cancellation implementation.
+ (_pthread_cancel_thread): Ditto; this function is X86
+ processor specific.
+ (pthread_setcancelstate): Add check for pending async
+ cancel request and cancel the calling thread if
+ required; add async-cancel safety lock.
+ (pthread_setcanceltype): Ditto.

+
+ * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Put generated output into GNUmakefile
+ rather than Makefile. Makefile will become the MSC nmake compatible
+ version
+ - Erik Hensema <erik.hensema@group2000.nl>
+
+ * misc.c (pthread_self): Add a note about GetCurrentThread
+ returning a pseudo-handle
+ - John Bossom (John.Bossom@cognos.com>
+
+1999-11-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.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.
+ - Todd Owen <towen@lucidcalm.dropbear.id.au>
+
+ * sync.c (pthread_join): Make it a deferred cancelation point.
+
+ * misc.c (pthread_self): Explicitly initialise implicitly
+ created thread state to default values.
+

* pthread.h (winsock.h): Include unconditionally.
