* pthread_mutex_trylock.c: Should return EBUSY rather than EDEADLK. * pthread_mutex_destroy.c: Remove redundant ownership test (the trylock call does this for us); do not destroy a recursively locked mutex.
2002-06-03An attempt to get sem_getvalue working properly.rpj
2002-03-02Add file and add entry to tests/ChangeLog.snap-2002-03-02rpj
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
2002-02-11Splitting files. See ChangeLog file for details.rpj
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.
2002-01-13 * attr.c (pthread_attr_setscope): Fix struct pointerrpj
indirection error introduced 2002-01-04. (pthread_attr_getscope): Likewise. * pthread.dsp (SOURCE): Add missing source files. ./tests/: * exception3.c (main): Shorten wait time. * mutex7.c: New test. * mutex7n.c: New test. * mutex7e.c: New test. * mutex7r.c: New test. * mutex6.c: Modified to avoid leaving the locked mutex around on exit.
2001-10-25 * GNUmakefile (libwsock32): Add to linker flags forrpj
WSAGetLastError() and WSASetLastError(). * Makefile (wsock32.lib): Likewise. * create.c: Minor mostly inert changes. * implement.h (PTW32_MAX): Move into here and renamed from sched.h. (PTW32_MIN): Likewise. * GNUmakefile (TEST_ICE): Define if testing internal implementation of InterlockedCompareExchange. * Makefile (TEST_ICE): Likewise. * private.c (TEST_ICE): Likewise.
2001-07-11Assert that exactly one thread receives PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD.snap-2001-07-12rpj
2001-07-08Barriers fixed and tested more extensively.rpj
* barrier.c: Fix several bugs in all routines. Now passes tests/barrier5.c which is fairly rigorous. There is still a non-optimal work-around for a race condition between the barrier breeched event signal and event wait. Basically the last (signalling) thread to hit the barrier yields to allow any other threads, which may have lost the race, to complete. tests/ChangeLog: * barrier3.c: Fixed. * barrier4.c: Fixed. * barrier5.c: New; proves that all threads in the group reaching the barrier wait and then resume together. Repeats the test using groups of 1 to 16 threads. Each group of threads must negotiate a large number of barriers (10000). * spin4.c: Fixed. * test.h (error_string): Modified the success (0) value.
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.
2001-07-05 * 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. tests/ChangeLog: 2001-07-01 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * benchtest3.c: New; timing mutexes. * benchtest4.c: New; time mutexes. * condvar3_1.c: Fixed bug - Alexander Terekhov * condvar3_3.c: New test. 2001-06-25 Ross Johnson <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au> * priority1.c: New test. * priority2.c: New test. * inherit1.c: New test. * benchtest1.c: New; timing mutexes. * benchtest2.c: New; timing mutexes. * mutex4.c: Modified to test all mutex types.
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.
