|  | * 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. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | * 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. |

|  | 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)

|  | * 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().

        * 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.

|  | * 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).

	* inherit1.c: New test.
	* benchtest1.c: New; timing mutexes.
	* benchtest2.c: New; timing mutexes.
	* mutex4.c: Modified to test all mutex types. | 
|  | * 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.

	* 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].

	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.

	* 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]. |
