* 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.

* gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: check for sysconf
(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN), which returns the minimal stack size for
new threads. Patch from Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk>.

* gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Changed the prototype of
thread_create and thread_self to return the system thread into
provided memory instead of a return value. This is necessary, as
HPUX has a pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral
type there. Made some more functions static.
* gthread-posix.c: Small fixes for DCE threads: Detaching has to
be done after thread creation for DCE.
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.

* *.[ch]: inserted additional note to look for ChangeLog and
AUTHORS file for a log of modifications.
1998-12-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): updated.
* testgthread.c, gthread-*.c: Changed private to private_key to
avoid problems when compiling with under C++.
branch. See the ChangeLog for details of the changes.
In brief overview:
- The set of threading functions can be set
- A default implementation is provided in -lgthread
- All static data structures are locked using these
functions if g_thread_init() is called.
