|  | * 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)
	* rwlock.c: Likewise.
	* mutex.c: Remove attempts to inline some functions.
	* signal.c: Modify misleading comment.

|  | * 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.
        * spin.c (pthread_spin_init): Edit renamed function call.
        * nonportable.c (pthread_num_processors_np): New.
        (pthread_getprocessors_np): Renamed to ptw32_getprocessors

        nonportable.c.

        from sched.h.

        * GNUmakefile (TEST_ICE): Define if testing internal
        implementation of InterlockedCompareExchange.
        * Makefile (TEST_ICE): Likewise.
        * private.c (TEST_ICE): Likewise. | 
|  | implement.h; rename to PTW32_INTERLOCKED_LONG and
	PTW32_INTERLOCKED_LPLONG respectively.
	* spin.c: Likewise; ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange used
	in place of InterlockedCompareExchange directly.
	* global.c (ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange): Add
	prototype for this new routine pointer to be used when
	InterlockedCompareExchange isn't supported by Windows.
	* nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np): Check for
	support of InterlockedCompareExchange in kernel32 and assign its
	address to ptw32_interlocked_compare_exchange if it exists, or
	our own ix86 specific implementation ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange.
	*private.c (ptw32_InterlockedCompareExchange): An
	implementation of InterlockedCompareExchange() which is
	specific to ix86; written directly in assembler for either
	MSVC or GNU C; needed because Windows 95 doesn't support
	InterlockedCompareExchange().
	* sched.c (sched_get_priority_min): Extend to return
	THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE.
	(sched_get_priority_max): Extend to return
	THREAD_PRIORITY_CRITICAL. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 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. | 
|  | * 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.

	* 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. | 
|  | * 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.

	* 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].

	* 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]. |

        * 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. | 
|  | * 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.

        * 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. | 
|  | * cancel.c (pthread_cancel): Must get "self" through
        calling pthread_self() which will ensure a POSIX thread
        struct is built for non-POSIX threads; return an error
        if this fails
        - Ollie Leahy <ollie@mpt.ie>
        (pthread_setcancelstate): Likewise.
        (pthread_setcanceltype): Likewise.
        * misc.c (ptw32_cancelable_wait): Likewise.
        * private.c (ptw32_tkAssocCreate): Remove unused #if 0
        wrapped code.
        * pthread.h (ptw32_get_exception_services_code):
        Needed to be forward declared unconditionally.
2000-09-06  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * cancel.c (pthread_cancel): If called from the main
        thread "self" would be NULL; get "self" via pthread_self()
        instead of directly from TLS so that an implicit
        pthread object is created.
        * misc.c (pthread_equal): Strengthen test for NULLs. | 
|  |  | 
|  | * create2.c: New; Test that pthread_t contains
        the W32 HANDLE before it calls the thread routine
        proper. | 
|  | * tsd.c (pthread_create_key): Initialise temporary
        key before returning it's address to avoid race
        conditions. | 
|  |  | 
|  | * errno.c: Add _MD precompile condition; thus far
        had no effect when using /MD compile option but I
        thnk it should be there.
        * exit.c: Add __cplusplus to various #if lines;
        was compiling SEH code even when VC++ had
        C++ compile options.
        * private.c: ditto.
        * create.c (pthread_create): Add PT_STDCALL macro to
        function pointer arg in _beginthread().
        * pthread.h: PT_STDCALL really does need to be defined
        in both this and impliment.h; don't set it to __cdecl
        - this macro is only used to extend function pointer
        casting for functions that will be passed as parameters.
        (~PThreadCleanup): add cast and group expression.
        (_errno): Add _MD compile conditional.
        (PtW32NoCatchWarn): Change pragma message.
        * implement.h: Move and change PT_STDCALL define.
        * need_errno.h: Add _MD to compilation conditional.
        * GNUmakefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; set for nil optimisation (turn it up
        when we have a working library build; add target
        "fake.a" to build a libpthreadw32.a from the VC++
        built DLL pthreadVCE.dll.
        * pthread.def (LIBRARY): Don't specify in the .def
        file - it is specified on the linker command line
        since we now use the same .def file for variously
        named .dlls.
        * Makefile: Substantial rewrite for new naming
        convention; default nmake target only issues a
        help message; run nmake with specific target
        corresponding to the EH scheme being used.
        * README: Update information; add naming convention
        explanation.
        * ANNOUNCE: Update information.
2000-08-12  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * pthread.h: Add compile-time message when using
        MSC_VER compiler and C++ EH to warn application
        programmers to use PtW32Catch instead of catch(...)
        if they want cancelation and pthread_exit to work.
        * implement.h: Remove #include <semaphore.h>; we
        use our own local semaphore.h.
tests/ChangeLog:
2000-08-13  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler
        warning.
        * condvar4.c: ditto.
        * condvar5.c: ditto.
        * condvar6.c: ditto.
        * condvar7.c: ditto.
        * condvar8.c: ditto.
        * condvar9.c: ditto.
        * exit1.c: Function needed return statement.
        * cleanup1.c: Remove unnecessary printf arg.
        * cleanup2.c: Fix cast.
        * rwlock6.c: Fix casts.
        * exception1.c (PtW32CatchAll): Had the wrong name;
        fix casts.
        * cancel3.c: Remove unused waitLock variable.
        * GNUmakefile: Change library/dll naming; add new tests;
        general minor changes.
        * Makefile: Change library/dll naming; add targets for
        testing each of the two VC++ EH scheme versions;
        default target now issues help message; compile warnings
        now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new
        tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed
        otherwise.
        * README: Updated. | 
|  | * cleanup.c (pthread_pop_cleanup): Remove _pthread
        prefix from __except and catch keywords; implement.h
        now simply undefines _pthread__except and
        _pthread_catch if defined; VC++ was not textually
        substituting _pthread_catch etc back to catch as
        it was redefined; the reason for using the prefixed
        version was to make it clear that it was not using
        the pthread.h redefined catch keyword.
        * private.c (_pthread_threadStart): Ditto.
        (_pthread_callUserDestroyRoutines): Ditto.
        * implement.h (_pthread__except): Remove #define.
        (_pthread_catch): Remove #define.
        * GNUmakefile (pthread.a): New target to build
        libpthread32.a from pthread.dll using dlltool.
        * buildlib.bat: Duplicate cl commands with args to
        build C++ EH version of pthread.dll; use of .bat
        files is redundant now that nmake compatible
        Makefile is included; used as a kludge only now.
        * Makefile: Localise some macros and fix up the clean:
        target to extend it and work properly.
        * CONTRIBUTORS: Add contributors.
        * ANNOUNCE: Updated.
        * README: Updated.
tests/ChangeLog:
2000-08-10  Ross Johnson  <rpj@special.ise.canberra.edu.au>
        * eyal1.c (main): Change implicit cast to explicit
        cast when passing "print_server" function pointer;
        G++ no longer allows implicit func parameter casts.
        * cleanup1.c: Remove unused "waitLock".
        (main): Fix implicit parameter cast.
        * cancel2.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast.
        * cancel4.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast.
        * cancel3.c (main): Fix implicit parameter cast.
        * GNUmakefile: Renamed from Makefile; Add missing
        cancel1 and cancel2 test targets.
        * Makefile: Converted for use with MS nmake. |
