2001-10-25 * GNUmakefile (libwsock32): Add to linker flags forrpj
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.
2001-10-25 * barrier.c: Move _LONG and _LPLONG defines intorpj
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.
2001-10-24 * attr.c (pthread_attr_setstacksize): Quell warningrpj
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).
2001-10-15 * spin.c (pthread_spin_lock): PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZERrpj
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 * spin.c (pthread_spin_unlock): Was not returningrpj
EPERM if the spinlock was not locked, for multi CPU machines.
2001-10-08pthread_spin_trylock was not returning EBUSY on multi CPU machines.rpj
2001-08-24 * condvar.c (pthread_cond_destroy): Remove cv elementrpj
that is no longer used. * implement.h: Likewise.
2001-08-23*** empty log message ***rpj
2001-08-23 Contributed by - "Alexander Terekhov" <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com>rpj
* 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 * tsd.c (pthread_getspecific): Preserve the lastrpj
winsock error [from WSAGetLastError()].
2001-07-18Add new C modules to Nmakefile.rpj
2001-07-18 * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_wrlock): Is allowed to berpj
a cancelation point; re-enable deferred cancelability around the CV call.
2001-07-18Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences.rpj
Contributed by - "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.

2001-07-11Assert that exactly one thread receives PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD.snap-2001-07-12rpj
2001-07-11Fixed cast; tests passed.rpj
2001-07-10Updated.rpj
2001-07-10Untested revamp of barrier.c.rpj
* 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.
2001-07-09 * barrier.c: Revamped to fix the race condition. Two alternatingrpj
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.
2001-07-08Barriers fixed and tested more extensively.rpj
* 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. tests/ChangeLog: * barrier3.c: Fixed. * barrier4.c: Fixed. * barrier5.c: New; proves that all threads in the group reaching the barrier wait and then resume together. Repeats the test using groups of 1 to 16 threads. Each group of threads must negotiate a large number of barriers (10000). * spin4.c: Fixed. * test.h (error_string): Modified the success (0) value.

Contributed by - Alexander Terekhov. * 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.

2001-07-012001-06-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>rpj
* 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 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - Ralf Brese <Ralf.Brese@pdb4.siemens.de> * create.c (pthread_create): Set thread priority from thread attributes.
2001-06-19 * Made organisational-only changes to UWIN additions.rpj

Contributed by - 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.
2001-06-11 * semaphore.h (sem_t): Fixed for compile and test.rpj
* implement.h (sem_t_): Likewise. * semaphore.c: Likewise. * private.c (ptw32_sem_timedwait): Updated to use new opaque sem_t. tests/ * mutex5.c: Insert inert change to quell compiler warnings. * condvar3_2.c: Remove unused variable.
2001-06-07 * semaphore.h (sem_t): Is now an opaque pointer;rpj
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.

* 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 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - 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 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - 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 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - 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].
