	* 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.
2001-02-09	Remodeled mutex routines again to eliminate critical sections.	rpj

2001-02-06	Created experimental branch.	rpj

2000-12-28	./ChangeLog:	rpj
	2000-12-28 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * private.c (ptw32_threadStart): Unhandled exceptions are now passed through to the system to deal with. This is consistent with normal Windows behaviour. C++ applications may use set_terminate() to override the default behaviour which is to call ptw32_terminate(). Ptw32_terminate() cleans up some POSIX thread stuff before calling the system default function which calls abort(). The users termination function should conform to standard C++ semantics which is to not return. It should exit the thread (call pthread_exit()) or exit the application. * private.c (ptw32_terminate): Added as the default set_terminate() function. It calls the system default function after cleaning up some POSIX thread stuff. * implement.h (ptw32_try_enter_critical_section): Move declaration. * global.c (ptw32_try_enter_critical_section): Moved from dll.c. * dll.c: Move process and thread attach/detach code into functions in nonportable.c. * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np): Process attach code from dll.c is now available to static linked applications. * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_detach_np): Likewise. * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_thread_attach_np): Likewise. * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_thread_detach_np): Likewise. * pthread.h: Add new non-portable prototypes for static linked applications. * GNUmakefile (OPT): Increase optimisation flag and remove debug info flag. * pthread.def: Add new non-portable exports for static linked applications. 2000-12-11 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * FAQ: Update Answer 6 re getting a fully working Mingw32 built library. 2000-09-09 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * pthread.h (ctime_r): Fix arg. ./tests/ChangeLog: 2000-12-28 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * eyal1.c: Increase thread work loads. * exception2.c: New test. * exception3.c: New test. * Makefile: Add new tests exception2.c and exception3.c. * GNUmakefile: Likewise. 2000-12-11 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * cleanup3.c: Remove unused variable. * cleanup2.c: Likewise. * exception1.c: Throw an exception rather than use a deliberate zero divide so that catch(...) will handle it under Mingw32. Mingw32 now builds the library correctly to pass all tests - see Thomas Pfaff's detailed instructions re needed changes to Mingw32 in the Pthreads-Win32 FAQ.
2000-09-02	New. Contains non-portable routines.	rpj
