Fri Jul 24 00:21:21 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* sync.c (pthread_join): Add check for valid and joinable
	thread.
	(pthread_detach): Implement. After checking for a valid and joinable
	thread, it's still a no-op.

	* private.c (_pthread_find_thread_entry): Bug prevented returning
	an error value in some cases.

	* attr.c (pthread_attr_setdetachedstate): Implement.
	(pthread_attr_getdetachedstate): Implement.

1998-07-24  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* pthread.h (PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE): Define.

	* sync.c (pthread_join): Return if the target thread is detached.

	* attr.c (pthread_attr_init): Initialise cancelability and
	canceltype structure members.
	(pthread_attr_getdetachstate): Implement.
	(pthread_attr_setdetachstate): Likewise.

	* implement.h (_PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFAULTS): Remove.  Bit fields
	proved to be too cumbersome.  Set the defaults in attr.c using the
	public PTHREAD_CANCEL_* constants.

	* cancel.c: New file.

	* pthread.h (sched_param): Define this type.
	(pthread_attr_getschedparam): Add function prototype.

	(pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling): Likewise.

Fri Jul 24 00:21:21 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* create.c (pthread_create): Arg to _pthread_new_thread_entry()
	changed. See next entry. Move mutex locks out. Changes made yesterday
	and today allow us to start the new thread running rather than
	temporarily suspended.

	* private.c (_pthread_new_thread_entry): _pthread_thread_table
	was changed back to a table of thread structures rather than pointers.
	As such we're trading storage for increaded speed. This routine
	was modified to work with the new table. Mutex lock put in around
	global data accesses.
	(_pthread_find_thread_entry): Ditto
	(_pthread_delete_thread_entry): Ditto

Thu Jul 23 23:25:30 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* global.c: New. Global data objects declared here. These moved from
	pthread.h.

	* pthread.h: Move implementation hidden definitions into
	implement.h.

	* implement.h: Move implementation hidden definitions from
	pthread.h. Add constants to index into the different handler stacks.

	* cleanup.c (_pthread_handler_push): Simplify args. Restructure.
	(_pthread_handler_pop): Simplify args. Restructure.
	(_pthread_handler_pop_all): Simplify args. Restructure.

Wed Jul 22 00:16:22 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* attr.c, implement.h, pthread.h, ChangeLog: Resolve CVS merge
	conflicts.

	* private.c (_pthread_find_thread_entry): Changes to return type
	to support leaner _pthread_threads_table[] which now only stores
	_pthread_thread_thread_t *.
	(_pthread_new_thread_entry): Internal changes.
	(_pthread_delete_thread_entry): Internal changes to avoid contention.
 	Calling routines changed accordingly.

	* pthread.h: Modified cleanup macros to use new generic push and pop.
	Added destructor and atfork stacks to _pthread_threads_thread_t.

	* cleanup.c (_pthread_handler_push, _pthread_handler_pop,
	_pthread_handler_pop_all): Renamed cleanup push and pop routines
	and made generic to handle destructors and atfork handlers as
	well.

	* create.c (_pthread_start_call): New function is a wrapper for
	all new threads. It allows us to do some cleanup when the thread
	returns, ie. that is otherwise only done if the thread is cancelled.

	* exit.c (_pthread_vacuum): New function contains code from 
	pthread_exit() that we need in the new _pthread_start_call()
	as well.

	* implement.h: Various additions and minor changes.

	* pthread.h: Various additions and minor changes.
	Change cleanup handler macros to use generic handler push and pop
	functions.

	* attr.c: Minor mods to all functions.
	(is_attr): Implemented missing function.

	* create.c (pthread_create): More clean up.

	* private.c (_pthread_find_thread_entry): Implement.
	(_pthread_delete_thread_entry): Implement.
	(_pthread_new_thread_entry): Implement.
	These functions manipulate the implementations internal thread
	table and are part of general code cleanup and modularisation.
	They replace _pthread_getthreadindex() which was removed.

	* exit.c (pthread_exit): Changed to use the new code above.

	* pthread.h: Add cancelability constants. Update comments.

1998-07-22  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* attr.c (pthread_setstacksize): Update test of attr argument.
	(pthread_getstacksize): Likewise.
	(pthread_setstackaddr): Likewise.
	(pthread_getstackaddr): Likewise.
	(pthread_attr_init): No need to allocate any storage.
	(pthread_attr_destroy): No need to free any storage.

	* mutex.c (is_attr): Not likely to be needed; remove.
	(remove_attr): Likewise.
	(insert_attr): Likewise.

	* implement.h (_pthread_mutexattr_t): Moved to a public definition
	in pthread.h.  There was little gain in hiding these details.
	(_pthread_condattr_t): Likewise.
	(_pthread_attr_t): Likewise.

	* pthread.h (pthread_atfork): Add function prototype.
	(pthread_attr_t): Moved here from implement.h.

	(_pthread_fork): Likewise.

Wed Jul 22 00:16:22 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* cleanup.c (_pthread_cleanup_push): Implement.
	(_pthread_cleanup_pop): Implement.
	(_pthread_do_cancellation): Implement.
	These are private to the implementation. The real cleanup functions
	are macros. See below.

	* pthread.h (pthread_cleanup_push): Implement as a macro.
	(pthread_cleanup_pop): Implement as a macro.
	Because these are macros which start and end a block, the POSIX scoping
	requirement is observed. See the comment in the file.

	* exit.c (pthread_exit): Refine the code.

	* create.c (pthread_create): Code cleanup.

	* implement.h (RND_SIZEOF): Add RND_SIZEOF(T) to round sizeof(T)
	up to multiple of DWORD.
	Add function prototypes.

	* private.c (_pthread_getthreadindex): "*thread" should have been 
	"thread". Detect empty slot fail condition.

1998-07-20  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* misc.c (pthread_once): Implement.  Don't use a per-application
	flag and mutex--make `pthread_once_t' contain these elements in
	their structure.  The earlier version had incorrect semantics.
	
	* pthread.h (_pthread_once_flag): Add new variable.  Remove.
	(_pthread_once_lock): Add new mutex lock to ensure integrity of
	access to _pthread_once_flag.  Remove.
	(pthread_once): Add function prototype.
	(pthread_once_t): Define this type.
	
Mon Jul 20 02:31:05 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* private.c (_pthread_getthreadindex): Implement.

	* pthread.h: Add application static data dependent on
	_PTHREADS_BUILD_DLL define. This is needed to avoid allocating
	non-sharable static data within the pthread DLL.

	* implement.h: Add _pthread_cleanup_stack_t, _pthread_cleanup_node_t
	and _PTHREAD_HASH_INDEX.

	* exit.c (pthread_exit): Begin work on cleanup and de-allocate
	thread-private storage.

	* create.c (pthread_create): Add thread to thread table.
	Keep a thread-private copy of the attributes with default values
	filled in when necessary. Same for the cleanup stack. Make 
	pthread_create C run-time library friendly by using _beginthreadex()
	instead of CreateThread(). Fix error returns.

Sun Jul 19 16:26:23 1998  Ross Johnson  <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au>

	* implement.h: Rename pthreads_thread_count to _pthread_threads_count.
	Create _pthread_threads_thread_t struct to keep thread specific data.

	* create.c: Rename pthreads_thread_count to _pthread_threads_count.
	(pthread_create): Handle errors from CreateThread().

1998-07-19  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* condvar.c (pthread_cond_wait): Generalise.  Moved from here ..

	(pthread_getspecific): Likewise.
	(pthread_key_delete): Likewise.

	* mutex.c (pthread_mutex_trylock): Return ENOSYS if this function
	is called on a Win32 platform which is not Windows NT.

1998-07-18  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* condvar.c (pthread_condattr_init): Do not attempt to malloc any
	storage; none is needed now that condattr_t is an empty struct.
	(pthread_condattr_destory): Likewise; do not free storage.
	(pthread_condattr_setpshared): No longer supported; return ENOSYS.
	(pthread_condattr_getpshared): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_init): Implement with help from Douglas Schmidt.
	Remember to initialise the cv's internal mutex.
	(pthread_cond_wait): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_signal): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_broadcast): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_timedwait): Preliminary implementation, but I need
	to see some API documentation for `WaitForMultipleObject'.
	(pthread_destory): Implement.

	* pthread.h (pthread_cond_init): Add function protoype.
	(pthread_cond_broadcast): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_signal): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_timedwait): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_wait): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_destroy): Likewise.
	(pthread_cond_t): Define this type.  Fix for u_int.  Do not assume
	that the mutex contained withing the pthread_cond_t structure will
	be a critical section.  Use our new POSIX type!

	* implement.h (_pthread_condattr_t): Remove shared attribute.

1998-07-17  Ben Elliston  <bje@cygnus.com>

	* pthread.h (PTHREADS_PROCESS_PRIVATE): Remove.
	(PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED): Likewise.  No support for mutexes shared
	across processes for now.
	(pthread_mutex_t): Use a Win32 CRITICAL_SECTION type for better
	performance.
	
	* implement.h (_pthread_mutexattr_t): Remove shared attribute.
	
	* mutex.c (pthread_mutexattr_setpshared): This optional function
	is no longer supported, since we want to implement POSIX mutex
	variables using the much more efficient Win32 critical section
	primitives.  Critical section objects in Win32 cannot be shared
	between processes.
	(pthread_mutexattr_getpshared): Likewise.
	(pthread_mutexattr_init): No need to malloc any storage; the
	attributes structure is now empty.
	(pthread_mutexattr_destroy): This is now a nop.
	(pthread_mutex_init): Use InitializeCriticalSection().
	(pthread_mutex_destroy): Use DeleteCriticalSection().
	(pthread_mutex_lock): Use EnterCriticalSection().
	(pthread_mutex_trylock): Use TryEnterCriticalSection().  This is
	not supported by Windows 9x, but trylock is a hack anyway, IMHO.
	(pthread_mutex_unlock): Use LeaveCriticalSection().
