# User Rev Content
1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 root 1.113
3 root 1.218 TODO: should explore PerlIO::via::CoroCede and PerlIO::via::CoroAIO.
4 root 1.226 TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang
5     (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!),
6 root 1.247 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)).
7 root 1.173
8 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
9 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
10 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
11     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
12     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
13 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
14     # - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
15     # stuff in Coro::Util.
16 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
17 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
18 root 1.282
19 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
20 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
21 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
22     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
23 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
24     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
25     This also catches recursive invocations.
26 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
27 root 1.277
28 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
29     - port to threaded perls.
30    
31 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
32 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
33     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
34 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
35     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
36 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
37     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
38     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
39     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
40     speeds up context switching a bit.
41 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
42 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
43 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
44     resulting in races between coroutines.
45     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
46 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
47     an unrelated coroutine.
48 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
49     more detail in Coro::State.
50 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
51     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
52 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
53     invalidating pointers.
54 root 1.264
55 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
56 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
57     - minor code cleanups.
58    
59 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
60 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
61 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
62     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
63     or use tracing).
64     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
65 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
66     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
67 root 1.258
68 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
69 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
70     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
71 root 1.255
72 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
73 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
74 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
75     debugging, tracing and much more.
76 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
77     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
78     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
79     flags.
80 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
81 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
82 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
83     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
84 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
85 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
86 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
87 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
88 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
89     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
90     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
91 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
92 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
93 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
94 root 1.232
95 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
96 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
97    
98 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
99     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
100 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
101 root 1.227
102 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
103 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
104     pst's sometimes.
105 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
106 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
107     be threadsafe...).
108     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
109     but stateful semantics.
110 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
111     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
112 root 1.223
113     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
114 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
115 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
116 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
117     (EXPERIMENTAL).
118 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
119     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
120     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
121     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
122 root 1.217
123 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
124 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
125     it by default.
126     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
127     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
128     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
129 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
130 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
131 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
132     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
133     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
134     performance.
135 root 1.211
136 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
137 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
138     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
139    
140 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
141     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
142     them without asking.
143    
144 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
145 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
146     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
147 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
148     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
149 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
150     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
151 root 1.204
152 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
153 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
154     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
155 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
156     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
157     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
158     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
159     obsolete platforms.
160 root 1.202
161 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
162 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
163     but was rather flaky in practise.
164 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
165     it was reused.
166 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
167     in cede_notself.
168 root 1.197
169 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
170 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
171 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
172     documented and - hopefully - improved.
173 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
174 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
175 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
176     that could errronously trigger.
177 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
178 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
179     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
180 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
181 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
182 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
183     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
184     and 128k coros with async_pool).
185 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
186 root 1.184
187 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006

190 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
191     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
192     their coro replacements.
193 root 1.179
194 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
195     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
196     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
197     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
198     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
199     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
200     - save/restore tainted status.
201     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
202    
203 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
204     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
205 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
206 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
207 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
208 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
209 root 1.169
210 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
211     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
212    
213 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
214 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
215     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
216 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
217     pool (size currently hardcoded).
218 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
219 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
220 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
221 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
222 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
223     check for changed watchers.
224 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
225     per event.
226 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
227 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
228 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
229 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
230     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
231 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
232     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
233 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
234 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
235 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
236 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
237     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
238 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
239 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
240 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
241 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
242     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
243     if somebody asks for it :)
244 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
245     spuriously without the event having happened.
246 root 1.146
247 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
248 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
249     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
250 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
251     make LWP non-blocking.
252     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
253 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
254 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
255     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
256 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
257     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
258 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
259     by LWP(!!).
260     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
261 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
262     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
263     did already.
264 root 1.135
265 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
266     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
267     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
268 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
269     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
270     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
271 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
272 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
273 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
274 root 1.130
275 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
276 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
277    
278 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
279    
280 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
281 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
282     mark & sweep gc run.
283 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
284 root 1.125
285 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
286 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
287 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
288    
289 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
290 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
291 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
292 root 1.117 wrong package.
293 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
294     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
295 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
296     normally uses.
297 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
298 root 1.117
299 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
300     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
301    
302 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
303 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
304 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
305     - strict'ify some modules.
306 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
307 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
308     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
309 root 1.112
310 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
311     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
312     when 'l'inux method was used.
313    
314 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
315     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
316    
317 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
318 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
319 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
320     Coro::State::flush method.
321 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
322 root 1.106
323 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
324 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.
325 root 1.101 - use a faster and possibly more stable Coro::Cont implementation.
326 root 1.102 - accept x86_64 in addition to amd64 for optimized linux-amd64 support.
327 root 1.104 - fix bugs Coro::SemaphoreSet that could cause locks never to be freed.
328 root 1.105 - fix bugs in CoroAPI.h and document it in Coro::MakeMaker.
329 root 1.100
330 root 1.99 1.11 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
331     - change of contact address.
332    
333 root 1.98 1.1 Tue Feb 22 20:51:16 CET 2005
334 root 1.97 - support [l]inux method on amd64.
335 root 1.109 - allow some context switches while compiling/eval'ing.
336 root 1.97
337 root 1.96 1.0 Tue Aug 10 03:47:27 CEST 2004
338 root 1.95 - Event 0.89 fixes the bug again.
339 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
340     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
341 root 1.95
342 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
343     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.
344    
345 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
346 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
347 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
348     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
349     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
350     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
351     fixable).
352 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
353 pcg 1.91
354 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
355 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
356     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
357 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
358 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
359     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
360     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
361     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).

367     memory leaks.
368     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
369 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
370     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
371 pcg 1.84
372 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
373     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!

375    
376 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
377     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
378     of new features.
379 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
380     Highly correct stuff, that is...
381 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
382     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

385 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,
386 root 1.78 cause version 4 doesn't have ucontext.
387 root 1.77 - Benjamin Reed reported that setjmp works fine on darwin,
388     so preselect it.
389 root 1.76
390 root 1.75 0.651 Sat Mar 29 15:00:23 CET 2003

395 root 1.72 - added a README.linux-glibc.
396     - new module Coro::Select.
397     - also save/restore PL_comppad, fixes segfaults with 5.8.1.

400 root 1.72
401 root 1.71 0.6 Thu Nov 21 11:09:06 CET 2002

407    
408 root 1.70 0.534 Sun Apr 14 03:05:12 CEST 2002
409 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
410 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.

413     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
414     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
415 root 1.69
416 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002
417     - adapt to finally working Event-0.85.
418     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
419     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
420    
421 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
422 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
423     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
424     without Event, which freezes).
425 root 1.65
426 root 1.64 0.531 Mon Dec 10 22:18:44 CET 2001

441    
442 root 1.64 0.51 Thu Nov 1 20:39:01 CET 2001
443 root 1.54 - terminate/cancel now work properly (otherwise termination
444     could cause a "next coroutine is not and contains not..."
445     error.
446 root 1.55 - added Coro::Socket::shutdown.
447 root 1.56 - Coro::Event::loop no is the same as Event::loop.

449 root 1.54
450 root 1.64 0.5 Fri Sep 28 16:15:35 CEST 2001

459     inside Coro::Handle.
460 root 1.44 - make Coro::Handle use an array instead of a hash for
461     speed reasons.
462     - IRIX mystery solved: it's SGI's NT, after all: "standard, huh?".
463     sjlj and ucontext should now work.
464     - IRIX-specific port for libcoro.
465 root 1.45 - swapped order of accept results to match IO::Socket.
466 root 1.46 - changed getsock/peername to sock/peername to match IO::Socket.
467     - fixed a bug that caused segfault when returning to main task
468     under some circumstances.

485 root 1.31 - new method Coro::Handle::readline.
486 root 1.34 - added eg/lwp and Coro::Handle::autoflush, to make LWP work.

488 root 1.31 - renamed Coro::Socket::new_inet to new.
489 root 1.32 - added Coro::Util, some utility functions.
490 root 1.33 - die/eval now works better (still get annoying (but true ;)
491     "Callback called exit" messages).
492 root 1.34 - Coro::Handle now supports timeout, and Coro::Socket Timeout.
493     - much better Coro::Socket support.
494 root 1.31
495     0.12 Fri Jul 27 04:19:01 CEST 2001
496 root 1.29 - do not use mmap if neither MAP_ANON nor MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined.
497 root 1.34 - very experimental stack sharing algorithm. not 100% safe but
498 root 1.28 should work well in practise ;)
499 root 1.30 - added Coro::RWLock.
500 root 1.31 - Coro::Specific now works.
501 root 1.28

507 root 1.26 0.1 Tue Jul 24 01:47:53 CEST 2001
508 root 1.23 - release candidate 3. A rather new internal structure :(
509 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
510     for yield.
511 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
512 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
513 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in
514     perl-5.6.
515 root 1.16 - new function Coro::Event::idle.
516     - the idle process is now overriden
517     by default in Coro::Event.

523     non-blocking i/o.
524 root 1.25 - performance tuning.
525 root 1.16
526 root 1.15 0.08 Thu Jul 19 06:13:25 CEST 2001

538    
539 root 1.11 0.06 Tue Jul 17 04:23:24 CEST 2001
540     - ok, I found the showstopper - the same sub must not be
541 root 1.9 re-entered in two different coroutines, otherwise => crash. I
542     see no easy solution to this problem, except by walking the call
543     chaing and saving/restoring the cv's, which is what I do now.
544 root 1.11 - memory leaks still latent, especially at thread termination.
545     - Coro::Event now works (haha).
546 root 1.9
547 root 1.8 0.05 Sun Jul 15 17:32:20 CEST 2001

558 root 1.4
559 root 1.3 0.03 Fri Jul 13 14:51:52 CEST 2001
560 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
561     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
562     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
563 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
564 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
565     model. Still crude and subject to change.
566 root 1.3 - $_ and $@ are no longer being localized.
567
