* 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(). 2002-01-18 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * 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. * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlockattr_init): New. (pthread_rwlockattr_destroy): New. (pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared): New. (pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared): New.

* 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.
