* 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.
