|  | * 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.

	* 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]. |

        * Makefile: Back-out "for" loops which don't work.
        * GNUmakefile: Remove the fake.a target; add the "realclean"
        target; don't remove built libs under the "clean" target.
        * config.h: Add a guard against multiple inclusion.
        * semaphore.h: Add some defines from config.h to make
        semaphore.h independent of config.h when building apps.
        * pthread.h (_errno): Back-out previous fix until we know how to
        fix it properly.
        * implement.h (lockCount): Add missing element to pthread_mutex_t_.
        * sync.c (pthread_join): Spelling fix in comment.
        * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Reset original termination
        function (C++).
        (ptw32_threadStart): Cleanup detached threads early in case
        the library is statically linked.
        (ptw32_callUserDestroyRoutines): Remove [SEH] __try block from
        destructor call so that unhandled exceptions will be passed through
        to the  system; call terminate() from [C++] try block for the same
        reason.
        * tsd.c (pthread_getspecific): Add comment.
        * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Initialise new elements in
        pthread_mutex_t.

        * GNUmakefile: Add mutex4 test; ensure libpthreadw32.a is
        removed for "clean" target.
        * Makefile: Add mutex4 test.
        * exception3.c: Remove SEH code; automatically pass the test
        under SEH (which is an N/A environment).
        * mutex4.c: New test.
        * eyal1.c (do_work_unit): Add a dummy "if" to force the
        optimiser to retain code; reduce thread work loads.
        * condvar8.c (main): Add an additional "assert" for debugging;
        increase pthread_cond_signal timeout. | 
|  | * misc.c (pthread_self): Restore Win32 "last error"
        cleared by TlsGetValue() call in
        pthread_getspecific()
        - "Steven Reddie" <smr@essemer.com.au>
2000-09-20  Ross Johnson  <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Record the owner
        of the mutex. This requires also keeping count of
        recursive locks ourselves rather than leaving it
        to Win32 since we need to know when to NULL the
        thread owner when the mutex is unlocked.
        (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
        (pthread_mutex_unlock): Check that the calling
        thread owns the mutex, decrement the recursive
        lock count, and NULL the owner if zero. Return
        EPERM if the mutex is owned by another thread.
        * implement.h (pthread_mutex_t_): Add ownerThread
        and lockCount members.
        - reported by Arthur Kantor <akantor@bexusa.com> | 
|  | * 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. | 
|  | * 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.

        * condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler
        warning.
        * condvar4.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. | 
|  | * 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.
