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.
2001-12-18Include an interim complete Copyright notice in each source file;rpj
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.
2001-07-06Spinlocks and barriers fixed and working. Beta level.rpj
* spin.c: Revamped and working; included static initialiser. * barrier.c: Likewise. * condvar.c: Macro constant change; inline auto init routine. * mutex.c: Likewise. * rwlock.c: Likewise. * private.c: Add support for spinlock initialiser. * global.c: Likewise. * implement.h: Likewise. * pthread.h (PTHREAD_SPINLOCK_INITIALIZER): Fix typo. tests/ChangeLog: * spin3.c: Changed test and fixed. * spin4.c: Fixed. * barrier3.c: Fixed. * barrier4.c: Fixed.
2001-07-05Fixups to last commit.rpj
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.
2001-07-05Added new routines from POSIX 1003.1j. This is alpha level code.rpj
* spin.c: New module implementing spin locks. * barrier.c: New module implementing barriers. * pthread.h (_POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS): defined. (_POSIX_BARRIERS): Defined. (pthread_spin_*): Defined. (pthread_barrier*): Defined. (PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD): Defined. * implement.h (pthread_spinlock_t_): Defined. (pthread_barrier_t_): Defined. (pthread_barrierattr_t_): Defined. * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Return with the error if an auto-initialiser initialisation fails. * nonportable.c (pthread_getprocessors_np): New; gets the number of available processors for the current process.
2001-07-012001-07-01 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>rpj
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.
2001-07-012001-06-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>rpj
* 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.
2001-06-05 * nonportable.c (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np):rpj
Remove - should not have been included in the first place. (pthread_mutex_getdefaultkind_np): Likewise. * global.c (ptw32_mutex_default_kind): Likewise. * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Remove use of ptw32_mutex_default_kind. * pthread.h (pthread_mutex_setdefaultkind_np): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_getdefaultkind_np): Likewise. * pthread.def (pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np): Added. (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): Likewise. * README: Many changes that should have gone in before the last snapshot. * README.NONPORTABLE: New - referred to by ANNOUNCE but never created; documents the non-portable routines included in the library - moved from README with new routines added. * ANNOUNCE (pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np): Added to compliance list. (pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np): Likewise.

* 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. 2001-05-29 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - Milan Gardian <Milan.Gardian@LEIBINGER.com> * 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]. 2001-05-29 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@gmx.net> * 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. 2001-02-07 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> Contributed by - Alexander Terekhov <TEREKHOV@de.ibm.com> * 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].
2000-12-29./ChangeLog:rpj
2000-12-29 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * 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. (pthread_mutex_unlock): Invert "pthread_equal()" test. 2000-12-28 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * semaphore.c (mode_t): Use ifndef HAVE_MODE_T to include definition. * config.h.in (HAVE_MODE_T): Added. (_UWIN): Start adding defines for the UWIN package. ./tests/ChangeLog: 2000-12-29 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * 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.
2000-12-282000-10-10 Ross Johnson <rpj@setup1.ise.canberra.edu.au>rpj
* 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>
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.
