Sebastian Wilhelmi a3036a5bd2 Add a surrogate for thread priorities using PID niceness for systems with
2000-11-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

	* configure.in: Add a surrogate for thread priorities using PID
	niceness for systems with no thread priorities and different PIDs
	for threads of the same process (most notably: Linux). Define
	G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE in that case, as used by
	gthread-posix.c. Also make the system thread bigger by
	sizeof (long) to contain the thread's PID.

	* gfileutils.c: Include stdlib.h for mkstemp prototype.

	* gthread.c: Add priority range checks to the affected functions.

	* gthreadpool.c: Remove unused variable.

	* gthread-impl.c, gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Removed
	g_thread_map_priority function in favour of the
	g_thread_priority_map array.  Initialize the array with
	PRIORITY_{...}_VALUE, if available and interpolate beetween the
	bounds if .._NORMAL_.. and .._HIGH_.. are not available.

	* gthread-posix.c: If we should use the PID niceness as a
	surrogate for thread priorities (G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE is
	defined), then disable normal priority handling and use PIDs and
	setpriority() instead. Depends on the thread to write its PID into
	the place after the thread id right after thread creation.

2000-11-21 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-impl.c, gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Removed
g_thread_map_priority function in favour of the
g_thread_priority_map array. Initialize the array with
PRIORITY_{...}_VALUE, if available and interpolate beetween the
bounds if .._NORMAL_.. and .._HIGH_.. are not available.
* gthread-posix.c: If we should use the PID niceness as a
surrogate for thread priorities (G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE is
defined), then disable normal priority handling and use PIDs and
setpriority() instead. Depends on the thread to write its PID into
the place after the thread id right after thread creation.
2000-11-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c: Include <sched.h> if available.
2000-11-02 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-none.c: Add G_MUTEX_SIZE as needed for gthread-impl.c
2000-10-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* Makefile.am : Add @GLIB_DEBUG_FLAGS@ to INCLUDES for accessing
-DG_ENABLE_DEBUG as needed in gthread-posix.c.
* gthread-posix.c: Revamped error handling for native thread
function calls. Now EPERM errors are ignored for some commands and
only a warning message is output once (at first occurrence).
2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
2000-09-29 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-impl.c: Added errorcheck mutexes. New exported function
g_thread_init_with_errorcheck_mutexes, which is called instead of
g_thread_init, when compiled with -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES. New
static functions
g_mutex_(new|lock|trylock|unlock|free)_errorcheck_impl to
implement errorcheck mutexes.
* gthread-posix.impl.c, gthread-solaris-impl.c: Define the size of
a mutex.
2000-09-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.mingw.in: Use pthreads macros from ../build.
2000-09-06 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c, 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>
* gthread-posix.c (g_thread_create_posix_impl): Use GError to
report errors.
* gthread-solaris.c (g_thread_create_solaris_impl): Use GError to
report errors as well.
2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gthread stuff moved from
../makefile.mingw.in.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, add rule to build makefile.mingw.
2000-04-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-solaris.c (g_mutex_new_solaris_impl): Changed the scope
of the initialized mutex to USYNC_THREAD. Thanks to Soeren
Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk> for pointing that out.
2000-03-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c (posix_check_for_error): Forgot a '}' in a macro
for DCE-threads. Thanks to Karl Nelson <kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>
for pointing that out.
2000-03-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c: Don't use priorities for threads, when the
minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at configure
time.
* 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.
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.
1999-06-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* 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>
* gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Added the native
implementations for the GLib's extended thread support.
* gthread-nspr.c: Removed for good. NSPR is nothing we would want
to build upon.
* gthread.c: Renamed to gthread-impl.c to avoid confusion with
../gthread.c (Formerly known as the file called gmutex.c)
* testgthread.c: Removed. The new and much extended tests are in
../tests/thread-test.c.
* Makefile.am: Changed to reflect the changes above.
1999-03-31 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* 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>.
1999-03-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Added @GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES@.
1999-03-12 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c (g_private_get_posix_impl): Fixed typo for DCE
implementation.
1999-03-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c: Now handle both dce and posix threads. They are
sufficently equal. Please do not commit my change to
glib-1-2/gthread/gthread-posix.c from 1999-03-03, as the current
change will take care of that too.
1999-03-03 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c: Fixed broken mutex_trylock and slightly broken
cond_timed_wait functions.
1999-02-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* testgthread.c (test_mutexes): Use new signature of
g_static_mutex* functions.
1999-02-08 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-posix.c (g_private_get_posix_impl): Use the
HAVE_PTHREAD_GETSPECIFIC_POSIX macro to determine, which signature
to use for pthread_getspecific.
Tue Jan 19 20:56:02 1999 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Added gthread.def.
Sun Jan 17 10:58:19 1999 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gthread.def: New file.
1999-01-16 1999 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.
1999-01-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* testgthread.c: conditionally compile according to the
G_THREADS_IMPL_??? macros.
(test_private_func): use rand_r instead of rand to make it
thread safe.
1998-12-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* testgthread.c (new_thread): As a joinable thread seems to be the
default on posix, leave the explicit setting out, as it causes
problems on some older platforms.
Wed Dec 16 22:21:33 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
* gthread-posix.c: use g_free in mutex_free (from Tim Janik)
Thu Dec 17 03:38:57 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* Makefile.am: -DG_LOG_DOMAIN="GThread", we don't need an extern
variable for that (noticed by Joel Becker <jlbec@ocala.cs.miami.edu>)
Wed Dec 16 03:16:16 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgthread.c: s/g_thread_supported/g_thread_supported ()/
* gthread.c: s/g_thread_supported/g_threads_got_initialized/
(g_thread_init): bail out if G_THREADS_ENABLED is not defined.
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++.
* gthread-none.c:
s/g_mutex_functions_for_glib_use/g_thread_functions_for_glib_use/
* ChangeLog: from now on there is an extra ChangeLog for gthread
