* tests/thread-test.c: Do not assume, that after
g_usleep(G_USEC_PER_SEC) the newly started thread began
running. Spotted by Miroslaw Dobrzanski-Neumann
<mne@mosaic-ag.com>. Make the test_g_static_rw_lock_thread threads
wait a random time. Make the test_g_static_rw_lock test run 5
seconds, not 1.
2001-05-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Renamed g_thread_create to
g_thread_create_full and added macro g_thread_create, which omits
'stack_size', 'bound' and 'priority' parameters. Also removed
'bound' from GThread struct.
* gthreadpool.h, gthreadpool.c: Adapted GThreadPool to the above
changes. GThreadPool lost the 'priority' and 'bound'
members. g_thread_pool_new the 'stack_size', 'bound' and
'priority' parameters.
* tests/mainloop-test.c, tests/thread-test.c,
tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted to the above changes.
2001-05-08 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gmain.c, gthread.c, gthread.h: Moved func and arg members from
GRealThread to GThread, such that they can be accessed by the
user.
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Due to popular demand (Tim being the
populus here ;-) threads now have a 'return value', which is
returned by g_thread_join and is either the return of the topmost
thread function or the value given to g_thread_exit.
* gthreadpool.c, tests/mainloop-test.c, tests/thread-test.c:
Adapted to the above change.
2001-02-13 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added functions g_static_rec_mutex_init,
g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_private_init,
g_static_private_free, g_static_rw_lock_init to allow the usage of
all those types dynamically. (g_static_rw_lock_free already
existed). Aditionally freed static_private indeces are reused
now. Untill now the array would just grow if you would use more
and more static_private. That required adding a slist of all
running threads, which could potentially be of good use later. It
is not exported however. Renamed a LOCK and small indentation
fixes.
* tests/thread-test.c: Test the new static_private index freing
and reusing feature.
2000-09-06 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, gtimer.c, tests/thread-test.c:
s/G_MICROSEC/G_USEC_PER_SEC/
* gthread/gthread-posix.c, gthread/gthread-solaris.c:
s/G_MICROSEC/G_USEC_PER_SEC/ and s/G_NANOSEC/G_NSEC_PER_SEC/
2000-09-01 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h: Include gerror.h before it is used for some g_thread_*
functions.
* gthread.c, gthreadpool.c, glib.h: Enable error reporting for
thread creation, namly for g_thread_create, g_thread_pool_new,
g_thread_pool_push and g_thread_pool_set_max_threads.
* tests/thread-test.c, tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted
accordingly.
* gthread-posix.c (g_thread_create_posix_impl): Use GError to
report errors.
2000-04-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): Made the debugging G_TRYLOCK call also work
for compilers with funnt G_STMT_(START|END) macros.
* tests/thread-test.c: Implemented a check for that.
2000-03-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Added the missing POSIX_NO_YIELD and
POSIX_NO_PRIORITIES warning messages.
* configure.in: Use AC_TRY_RUN instead of AC_TRY_LINK, to test for
real thread support. On solaris pthread_create can be linked to
even in -lc, but it doesn't work then.
* configure.in: Don't use priorities for threads, when the
minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at configure
time.
* configure.in, gthread.c: Always define GSystemThread in
glibconfig.h to represent a system thread.
* configure.in: Do not use native recursive threads, when
possibe. We use some features, that they do not expose (namely the
depth counter).
* glib.h, gthread.c: Redefined GStaticRecMutex. The functions are
now implemented in a different way, which should be way
faster. Alsothere are now functions g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full
and g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full to leave/enter a recursive mutex
completly.
* gthread.c (g_thread_self): Do not test the system_thread to be
non-zero to speed things up.
* gthread.c (g_mutex_init): Therefore set the system_thread of the
main thread here.
* tests/thread-test.c: Rerun all tests once again, but this time
we fool the system into thinking, that the available thread system
is not native, but userprovided.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Don't use priorities for threads,
when the minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at
configure time.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Don't check for errors, when
setting the scope of a tread to system, as some posix
implementations can't do that and we don't want the thing to
fail because of that.
1999-06-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.
* gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)
* gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
aspects of the thread implementation.
* gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
change of content.
* configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Added the native
implementations for the GLib's extended thread support.
* gthread/gthread-nspr.c: Removed for good. NSPR is nothing we
would want to build upon.
* gthread/gthread.c: Renamed to gthread-impl.c to avoid
confusion with ../gthread.c (Formerly known as the file called
gmutex.c)
* gthread/testgthread.c: Removed. The new and much extended
tests are in ../tests/thread-test.c.
* gthread/Makefile.am: Changed to reflect the changes above.
