* nonportable.c (pthread_mutex_setdefaulttype_np): New function for changing the default mutex type. * mutex.c (ptw32_InitializeCriticalSection): Removed. (ptw32_InitializeCriticalSection): Removed. (ptw32_InitializeCriticalSection): Removed. (ptw32_InitializeCriticalSection): Removed. (ptw32_InitializeCriticalSection): Removed. (pthread_mutex_init): Apply Thomas Pfaff's original patches; remove use of critical sections and adapt for different mutex types (see log entry for 2001-01-10). The disadvantage of using critical sections is that they don't appear to be sharable between processes. This implementation provides the opportunity to place mutex objects in shared memory. Thread priority determines the order in which waiting threads acquire the mutex although the implementation includes a mechanism to prevent threads hogging the mutex through successive unlock/lock operations. (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_lock): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise. * pthread.h (rand_r): Add redundant test of '_seed' arg to avoid "unused variable" warnings. Any good compiler will optimise the test away anyway.

* 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. (pthread_setcanceltype): Likewise. * misc.c (ptw32_cancelable_wait): Likewise. * private.c (ptw32_tkAssocCreate): Remove unused #if 0 wrapped code. * pthread.h (ptw32_get_exception_services_code): Needed to be forward declared unconditionally. 2000-09-06 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * cancel.c (pthread_cancel): If called from the main thread "self" would be NULL; get "self" via pthread_self() instead of directly from TLS so that an implicit pthread object is created. * misc.c (pthread_equal): Strengthen test for NULLs.

* 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. * implement.h: Remove __except and catch undefines. * Makefile (CFLAGS): Define PTW32_BUILD. * GNUmakefile (CFLAGS): Define PTW32_BUILD. * All appropriate: Change Pthread_exception* to ptw32_exception* to be consistent with internal identifier naming. * private.c (ptw32_throw): New function to provide a generic exception throw for all internal exceptions and EH schemes. (ptw32_threadStart): pthread_exit() value is now returned via the thread structure exitStatus element. * exit.c (pthread_exit): pthread_exit() value is now returned via the thread structure exitStatus element. * cancel.c (ptw32_cancel_self): Now uses ptw32_throw. (pthread_setcancelstate): Ditto. (pthread_setcanceltype): Ditto. (pthread_testcancel): Ditto. (pthread_cancel): Ditto. * misc.c (CancelableWait): Ditto. * exit.c (pthread_exit): Ditto. * All applicable: Change PTW32_ prefix to PTW32_ prefix to remove leading underscores from private library identifiers.

* 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).

* 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> * pthread.h: Add compile-time message when using 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. * implement.h: Remove #include <semaphore.h>; we use our own local semaphore.h. tests/ChangeLog: 2000-08-13 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler warning. * condvar4.c: ditto. * condvar5.c: ditto. * condvar6.c: ditto. * condvar7.c: ditto. * condvar8.c: ditto. * condvar9.c: ditto. * exit1.c: Function needed return statement. * cleanup1.c: Remove unnecessary printf arg. * cleanup2.c: Fix cast. * rwlock6.c: Fix casts. * exception1.c (PtW32CatchAll): Had the wrong name; fix casts. * cancel3.c: Remove unused waitLock variable. * GNUmakefile: Change library/dll naming; add new tests; general minor changes. * Makefile: Change library/dll naming; add targets for testing each of the two VC++ EH scheme versions; default target now issues help message; compile warnings now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed otherwise. * README: Updated.

* cleanup.c (pthread_pop_cleanup): Remove _pthread prefix from __except and catch keywords; implement.h now simply undefines _pthread__except and _pthread_catch if defined; VC++ was not textually substituting _pthread_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 (_pthread_threadStart): Ditto. (_pthread_callUserDestroyRoutines): Ditto. * implement.h (_pthread__except): Remove #define. (_pthread_catch): 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. * ANNOUNCE: Updated. * README: Updated. tests/ChangeLog: 2000-08-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * eyal1.c (main): Change implicit cast to explicit cast when passing "print_server" function pointer; G++ no longer allows implicit func parameter casts. * cleanup1.c: Remove unused "waitLock". (main): Fix implicit parameter cast. * cancel2.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast. * cancel4.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast. * cancel3.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast. * GNUmakefile: Renamed from Makefile; Add missing cancel1 and cancel2 test targets. * Makefile: Converted for use with MS nmake.

* dll.c (dllMain): Remove 2000-07-21 change - problem appears to be in pthread_create(). 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.) * dll.c: Include resource leakage work-around. This is a partial FIXME which doesn't stop all leakage. The real problem needs to be found and fixed. - "David Baggett" <dmb@itasoftware.com> * misc.c (pthread_self): Try to catch NULL thread handles at the point where they might be generated, even though they should always be valid at this point. * tsd.c (pthread_setspecific): return an error value if pthread_self() returns NULL. * sync.c (pthread_join): return an error value if pthread_self() returns NULL. * signal.c (pthread_sigmask): return an error value if pthread_self() returns NULL.
