2000-02-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* 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>.
1999-11-16 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* 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.
* README.win32: Update the pthreads snapshot version we want.
Advice how to hand-expand the makefile.*.in files.
* config.h.win32.in: Define values needed by Sebastian Wilhelmi's
new thread stuff.
* glib.def: Add new functions.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update the pthreads snapshot version.
Fix typo.
* gthread.c: Include config.h, guard inclusion of unistd.h. When
using gcc on Win32, g_thread_functions_for_glib_use must be marked
for export here, too.
* gtimer.c: Implement g_usleep on native Win32 using Sleep (which
only has millisecond granularity, though).
* makefile.cygwin.in
* makefile.msc.in: Update pthreads snapshot version. File
name changes. Remove testgthread.
* tests/makefile.cygwin.in
* tests/makefile.msc.in: Add thread-test. Link with gthread lib.
* gthread-posix.c: Guard pthread_attr_setscope call with test
for _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING, which should be defined
in a <pthread.h> that supports that feature.
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.
1999-03-31 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Use the right default arguments for the
construction of mutexes and conds for dce threads, these are
&pthread_(cond|mutex)attr_default instead of NULL. Hint from
D. Emilio Grimaldo Tunon <emilio_tunon@nl.compuware.com>.
1999-03-12 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Test for posix threads first, then for dce threads.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c (g_private_get_posix_impl): Fixed
typo for DCE implementation.
1999-03-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Revamped the thread configure stuff. Now dce
threads (old posix draft) are recogniced. This is necessary,
because dce threads are in fact working quite differently from
posix threads. Also changed the conditions for checking for MT
safe functions a bit, because G_THREADS_IMPL_NONE still have to
compile thread safe.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Now handle both dce and posix
threads. They are sufficently equal.
NOTE: Please do not commit my change to
glib-1-2/{acconfig.h,configure.in,config.h.win32} from 1999-03-03, as
the current change will take care of that too.

* *.[ch]: inserted additional note to look for ChangeLog and
AUTHORS file for a log of modifications.
1999-02-08 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acconfig.h: Changed the test for getpwuid_r to
exclude those systems (i.e. IRIX), that set ENOSYS after the call.
Test, if pthread_getspecific is posix like or something different,
as on PCThreads.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c (g_private_get_posix_impl): Use the
HAVE_PTHREAD_GETSPECIFIC_POSIX macro to determine, which signature
to use for pthread_getspecific.
* README.win32: More text.
* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
corresponding generated files on Unix.
* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
"/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib" in the link phase.
* glib.def: Include new functions, drop removed ones.
* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
in #if 0 already).
* giowin32.c: New file.
* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
inclusion. Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
loop.
* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
to that console window.
* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
cleanup.
* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.
* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
environment variables.
* gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
_g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.
* gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.
* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.

(from Tim Janik)
* gthread-posix.c: use g_free in mutex_free (from Tim Janik)
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.
