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.
2002-02-23 * 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.

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.

* 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].
