2002-06-03An attempt to get sem_getvalue working properly.rpj
2002-03-02 * errno.c: Compiler directive was incorrectly including code.rpj
* pthread.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h needed when not building the library. e.g. NEED_ERRNO, NEED_SEM. (PTW32_DLLPORT): Now only defined if _DLL defined. (_errno): Compiler directive was incorrectly including prototype. * sched.h: Conditionally added some #defines from config.h needed when not building the library. * semaphore.h: Replace an instance of NEED_SEM that should have been NEED_ERRNO. This change currently has nil effect. * GNUmakefile: Correct some recent changes. * Makefile: Add rule to generate pre-processor output.
2002-02-27 * exception3.c (terminateFunction): For MSVC++, callrpj
exit() rather than pthread_exit(). Add comments to explain why. * rwlock2_t.c: New test. * rwlock3_t.c: New test. * rwlock4_t.c: New test. * rwlock5_t.c: New test. * rwlock6_t.c: New test. * rwlock6_t2.c: New test. * rwlock6.c (main): Swap thread and result variables to correspond to actual thread functions. * rwlock1.c: Change test description comment to correspond to the actual test.
2002-02-23 * pthread_cond_destroy.c: Expand the time changerpj
critical section to solve deadlock problem. * pthread.c: Add all remaining C modules. * pthread.h: Use dllexport/dllimport attributes on functions to avoid using pthread.def. * sched.h: Likewise. * semaphore.h: Likewise. * GNUmakefile: Add new targets for single translation unit build to maximise inlining potential; generate pthread.def automatically. * Makefile: Likewise, but no longer uses pthread.def.
2002-02-18Major reorganisation of source code; new routine and tests added.rpj
2002-02-08Copyright notice updates; module splitting; POSIX versionrpj
conditional compilation; refinements; bug fixes. See the ChangeLog.
2002-02-02 * cancel.c: Rearranged some code and introduced checksrpj
to disable cancelation at the start of a thread's cancelation run to prevent double cancelation. The main problem arises if a thread is canceling and then receives a subsequent async cancel request. * private.c: Likewise. * condvar.c: Place pragmas around cleanup_push/pop to turn off inline optimisation (/Obn where n>0 - MSVC only). Various optimisation switches in MSVC turn this on, which interferes with the way that cleanup handlers are run in C++ EH and SEH code. Application code compiled with inline optimisation must also wrap cleanup_push/pop blocks with the pragmas, e.g. #pragma inline_depth(0) pthread_cleanup_push(...) ... pthread_cleanup_pop(...) #pragma inline_depth(8) * rwlock.c: Likewise. * mutex.c: Remove attempts to inline some functions. * signal.c: Modify misleading comment. tests/ * mutex8: New test. * mutex8n: New test. * mutex8e: New test. * mutex8r: New test. * cancel6a: New test. * cancel6d: New test. * cleanup0.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * cleanup1.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * cleanup2.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * cleanup3.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * condvar7.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * condvar8.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control. * condvar9.c: Add pragmas for inline optimisation control.

* 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.

Remove unused autoconf files; Add the file COPYING, which describes the pthread-win32 license relative to the FSF LGPL.
2001-07-09 * barrier.c: Revamped to fix the race condition. Two alternatingrpj
semaphores are used instead of the PulseEvent. Also improved overall throughput by returning PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD to the first waking thread. * implement.h (pthread_barrier_t_): Revamped.

2001-07-05 * barrier.c: Remove static initialisation - irreleventrpj
for this object. * pthread.h (PTHREAD_BARRIER_INITIALIZER): Removed. * rwlock.c (pthread_rwlock_wrlock): This routine is not a cancelation point - disable deferred cancelation around call to pthread_cond_wait(). tests/ChangeLog: * spin1.c: New; testing spinlocks. * spin2.c: New; testing spinlocks. * spin3.c: New; testing spinlocks. * spin4.c: New; testing spinlocks. * barrier1.c: New; testing barriers. * barrier2.c: New; testing barriers. * barrier3.c: New; testing barriers. * barrier4.c: New; testing barriers. * GNUmakefile: Add new tests. * Makefile: Add new tests.

Contributed by - Alexander Terekhov. * condvar.c: Fixed lost signal bug reported by Timur Aydin (taydin@snet.net). [RPJ (me) didn't translate the original algorithm correctly.] * semaphore.c: Added sem_post_multiple; this is a useful routine, but it doesn't appear to be standard. For now it's not an exported function.

* create.c (pthread_create): Add priority inheritance attributes. * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Remove some overhead for PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutex types. Specifically, avoid calling pthread_self() and pthread_equal() to check/set the mutex owner. Introduce a new pseudo owner for this type. Test results suggest increases in speed of up to 90% for non-blocking locks. This is the default type of mutex used internally by other synchronising objects, ie. condition variables and read-write locks. The test rwlock7.c shows about a 30-35% speed increase over snapshot 2001-06-06. The price of this is that the application developer must ensure correct behaviour, or explicitly set the mutex to a safer type such as PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK. For example, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL (or PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT) type mutexes will not return an error if a thread which is not the owner calls pthread_mutex_unlock. The call will succeed in unlocking the mutex if it is currently locked, but a subsequent unlock by the true owner will then fail with EPERM. This is however consistent with some other implementations. (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise. * attr.c (pthread_attr_init): PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED is the default inheritance attribute; THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL is the default priority for new threads. * sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedpolicy): Added routine. (pthread_attr_getschedpolicy): Added routine. (pthread_attr_setinheritsched): Added routine. (pthread_attr_getinheritsched): Added routine. * pthread.h (sched_rr_set_interval): Added as a macro; returns -1 with errno set to ENOSYS. 2001-06-23 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> *sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedparam): Add priority range check. (sched_setscheduler): New function; checks for a valid pid and policy; checks for permission to set information in the target process; expects pid to be a Win32 process ID, not a process handle; the only scheduler policy allowed is SCHED_OTHER. (sched_getscheduler): Likewise, but checks for permission to query. * pthread.h (SCHED_*): Moved to sched.h as defined in the POSIX standard. * sched.h (SCHED_*): Moved from pthread.h. (pid_t): Defined if necessary. (sched_setscheduler): Defined. (sched_getscheduler): Defined. * pthread.def (sched_setscheduler): Exported. (sched_getscheduler): Likewise. 2001-06-23 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - Ralf Brese <Ralf.Brese@pdb4.siemens.de> * create.c (pthread_create): Set thread priority from thread attributes.
2001-06-19 * Made organisational-only changes to UWIN additions.rpj
* dll.c (dllMain): Moved UWIN process attach code to pthread_win32_process_attach_np(); moved instance of pthread_count to global.c. * global.c (pthread_count): Moved from dll.c. * nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np): Moved _UWIN code to here from dll.c. * implement.h (pthread_count): Define extern int. * create.c (pthread_count): Remove extern int. * private.c (pthread_count): Likewise. * exit.c (pthread_count): Likewise. Contributed by - David Korn <dgk@research.att.com> * dll.c: Added changes necessary to work with UWIN. * create.c: Likewise. * pthread.h: Likewise. * misc.c: Likewise. * exit.c: Likewise. * private.c: Likewise. * implement.h: Likewise. There is some room at the start of struct pthread_t_ to implement the signal semantics in UWIN's posix.dll although this is not yet complete. * Nmakefile: Compatible with UWIN's Nmake utility. * Nmakefile.tests: Likewise - for running the tests.
