* sched.c (sched_get_priority_max): Handle different WinCE and Win32 priority values together. (sched_get_priority_min): Ditto. - Tristan Savatier <tristan@mpegtv.com> * create.c (pthread_create): Force new threads to wait until pthread_create has the new thread's handle; we also retain a local copy of the handle for internal use until pthread_create returns. * private.c (_pthread_threadStart): Initialise ei[]. (_pthread_threadStart): When beginthread is used to start the thread, force waiting until the creator thread had the thread handle. * cancel.c (_pthread_cancel_thread): Include context switch code for defined(_X86_) environments in addition to _M_IX86. * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_destroy): Assignment changed to avoid compiler warning. * private.c (_pthread_get_exception_services_code): Cast NULL return value to avoid compiler warning. * cleanup.c (pthread_pop_cleanup): Initialise "cleanup" variable to avoid compiler warnings. * misc.c (_pthread_new): Change "new" variable to "t" to avoid confusion with the C++ keyword of the same name. * condvar.c (cond_wait_cleanup): Initialise lastWaiter variable. (cond_timedwait): Remove unused local variables. to avoid compiler warnings. * dll.c (dllMain): Remove 2000-07-21 change - problem appears to be in pthread_create(). 2000-07-22 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * tsd.c (pthread_key_create): If a destructor was given and the pthread_mutex_init failed, then would try to reference a NULL pointer (*key); eliminate this section of code by using a dynamically initialised mutex (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER). * tsd.c (pthread_setspecific): Return an error if unable to set the value; simplify cryptic conditional. * tsd.c (pthread_key_delete): Locking threadsLock relied on mutex_lock returning an error if the key has no destructor. ThreadsLock is only initialised if the key has a destructor. Making this mutex a static could reduce the number of mutexes used by an application since it is actually created only at first use and it's often destroyed soon after. 2000-07-22 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * FAQ: Added Q5 and Q6. tests/ChangeLog: 2000-07-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * runtest.bat: modified to work under W98. * runall.bat: Add new tests; modified to work under W98. It was ok under NT. * Makefile: Add new tests. * exception1.c: New; Test passing exceptions back to the application and retaining library internal exceptions. * join0.c: New; Test a single join.

* pthread.h (pthread_mutex_t): revert to (pthread_mutex_t *); define a value to serve as PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER. (pthread_mutex_t_): remove staticinit and valid elements. (pthread_cond_t): revert to (pthread_cond_t_ *); define a value to serve as PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER. (pthread_cond_t_): remove staticinit and valid elements. * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_t args): adjust indirection of references. (all functions): check for PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER value; check for NULL (invalid). * condvar.c (pthread_cond_t args): adjust indirection of references. (all functions): check for PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER value; check for NULL (invalid). Wed Mar 10 17:18:12 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au> * misc.c (CancelableWait): Undo changes from Mar 8 and 7. tests/ChangeLog Fri Mar 12 08:34:15 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au> * eyal1.c (main): Fix trylock loop; was not waiting for thread to lock the "started" mutex.
