|  | * pthread.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h
        needed when not building the library. e.g. NEED_ERRNO, NEED_SEM.
        (PTW32_DLLPORT): Now only defined if _DLL defined.
        (_errno): Compiler directive was incorrectly including prototype.
        * sched.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h
        needed when not building the library.
        * semaphore.h: Replace an instance of NEED_SEM that should
        have been NEED_ERRNO. This change currently has nil effect.
        * GNUmakefile: Correct some recent changes.
        * Makefile: Add rule to generate pre-processor output. |

	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.

|  | * 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().

        * 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.

        * 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. | 
|  | * 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.

	* 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].

	* 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.

	* 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]. |
