# 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 1.307 4.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
9 root 1.306 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
10    
11 root 1.305 4.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
12     - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
13    
14 root 1.304 4.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
15 root 1.301 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
16 root 1.302 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
17 root 1.304 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
18 root 1.301
19 root 1.300 4.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
20     - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
21    
22 root 1.299 4.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
23     - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
24     when the stack changed.
25 root 1.295 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
26     (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
27     if available.
28 root 1.296 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
29 root 1.297 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
30 root 1.298 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
31 root 1.295
32 root 1.294 4.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
33 root 1.293 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
34     and Coro::Handle.
35    
36 root 1.292 4.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
37 root 1.290 - fix a spurious memory read.
38 root 1.291 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
39 root 1.290
40 root 1.289 4.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
41 root 1.282 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
42 root 1.283 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
43 root 1.284 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
44     - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
45     does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
46 root 1.288 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
47 root 1.289 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
48     directly supported by Coro.
49     - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
50     stuff in Coro::Util.
51 root 1.286 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
52 root 1.287 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
53 root 1.289 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
54 root 1.282
55 root 1.281 4.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
56 root 1.277 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
57 root 1.278 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
58     $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
59 root 1.279 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
60     instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
61     This also catches recursive invocations.
62 root 1.280 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
63 root 1.277
64 root 1.276 4.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
65     - port to threaded perls.
66    
67 root 1.275 4.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
68 root 1.264 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
69     be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
70 root 1.274 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
71     cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
72 root 1.264 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
73     - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
74     - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
75     a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
76     speeds up context switching a bit.
77 root 1.265 - further tune default stack sizes.
78 root 1.264 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
79 root 1.267 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
80     resulting in races between coroutines.
81     - added Coro::Storable::guard.
82 root 1.268 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
83     an unrelated coroutine.
84 root 1.269 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
85     more detail in Coro::State.
86 root 1.270 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
87     causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
88 root 1.272 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
89     invalidating pointers.
90 root 1.264
91 root 1.263 4.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
92 root 1.262 - added Coro::throw method.
93     - minor code cleanups.
94    
95 root 1.261 4.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
96 root 1.258 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
97 root 1.259 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
98     prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
99     or use tracing).
100     - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
101 root 1.260 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
102     about 2-5% speed improvement here.
103 root 1.258
104 root 1.256 4.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
105 root 1.257 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
106     use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
107 root 1.255
108 root 1.254 4.0 Fri Oct 5 12:56:00 CEST 2007
109 root 1.238 - incompatibly changed Coro::Storable::freeze.
110 root 1.244 - major new feature: added Coro::Debug, for interactive coroutine
111     debugging, tracing and much more.
112 root 1.252 - major bug fix: unbelievable, but true: $_, $/ and many other
113     "saved" variables actually weren't being saved. This has been fixed,
114     of course, while increasing performance while losing all the save
115     flags.
116 root 1.251 - save flags are gone, and all the api functions dealing with them.
117 root 1.232 - added Coro::Semaphore::adjust.
118 root 1.233 - added Coro::Util::fork_eval.
119     - added Coro::Storable::{nfreeze,blocking_{freeze,nfreeze}}.
120 root 1.248 - added Coro::killall.
121 root 1.236 - reduce initial stack sizes to allow for "micro-coroutines".
122 root 1.239 - better async_pool resource management, moved parts of async_pool
123 root 1.240 handling to XS (major speed improvement).
124 root 1.245 - actually croak before modifying important data structures.
125     - refuse to transfer while compiling.
126     - possibly support eval EXPR better now.
127 root 1.249 - enable assembly per default on linux+bsd x86+amd64.
128 root 1.253 - all internal members were renamed _something for easier subclassing.
129 root 1.237 - many minor tweaks.
130 root 1.232
131 root 1.231 3.63 Wed May 16 14:10:06 CEST 2007
132 root 1.230 - implement handcoded assembly for x86/amd64 SVR ABI.
133    
134 root 1.229 3.62 Fri Apr 27 21:36:06 CEST 2007
135     - upgrade libcoro (which might set unwind info correctly).
136 root 1.228 - change default on linux to setjmp/longjmp.
137 root 1.227
138 root 1.226 3.61 Thu Apr 19 12:36:18 CEST 2007
139 root 1.225 - Coro::Storable caused an endless loop when thawing invalid
140     pst's sometimes.
141 root 1.223 - use a Semaphore in Coro::Storable, as Storable doesn't
142 root 1.224 seem to be reentrant (although it is documented to
143     be threadsafe...).
144     - fix Coro::Signal to bring back the original unreliable
145     but stateful semantics.
146 root 1.226 - fixed a lot of typos in Coro.pm (patch submitted by David
147     Steinbrunner, which applied flawlessly).
148 root 1.223
149     3.6 Sat Apr 14 17:13:31 CEST 2007
150 root 1.217 - added some bugfixes to get eg/myhttpd working again.
151 root 1.218 - added Coro::Storable for often-cede'ing freeze/thaw.
152 root 1.219 - try to do a clean exit when a coroutine calls exit
153     (EXPERIMENTAL).
154 root 1.220 - got rid of indirect call through _coro_init.
155     - updated the partly antique examples in eg/ to
156     work again and be a bit less magic, too.
157     - fixed Coro::Signal semantics to work as documented again.
158 root 1.217
159 root 1.216 3.55 Sun Mar 25 01:20:47 CET 2007
160 root 1.215 - add SAVE_DEFFH to save the default filehandle and enable
161     it by default.
162     - finally move socket-operations from Coro::Socket to Coro::Handle
163     to be able to unblock foreign sockets.
164     - add Coro::State::save_also and guarded_save.
165 root 1.211 - add count accessor to Coro::Semaphore.
166 root 1.212 - add Coro::State::cctx_stacksize.
167 root 1.213 - just for the fun of it, do not rely on implicit context,
168     which can dramatically improve performance, but people
169     using windows-process-emulation perls do not care much about
170     performance.
171 root 1.211
172 root 1.210 3.51 Sun Mar 4 14:18:04 CET 2007
173 root 1.209 - fixed a problem when you weakened references to Coro::State's
174     (patch by Yuval Kogman).
175    
176 root 1.208 3.501 Wed Feb 28 12:44:07 CET 2007
177     - rename some global symbols as macosx from hell redefines
178     them without asking.
179    
180 root 1.207 3.5 Tue Feb 13 20:22:53 CET 2007
181 root 1.204 - do AnyEvent model detection earlier, avoiding problems
182     caused by first using AnyEvent and later Coro::Event.
183 root 1.205 - implement and document Coro::Event event objects.
184     - fix a potential problem in Coro::Event causing crashes.
185 root 1.206 - initialise PL_comppad when creating a new coroutine,
186     avoids crashes on early coro destruction.
187 root 1.204
188 root 1.203 3.41 Mon Jan 22 19:19:49 CET 2007
189 root 1.202 - readline on Coro::Handle did not support undefined $/,
190     nor did it deliver partial lines on EOF or error.
191 root 1.203 - implement malloc fallback for stack allocation because
192     stupid broken idiotic OSX has a stupid broken
193     idiotic fits-the-whole-os mmap "implementation" and
194     my dick feels longer if Coro is portable even to
195     obsolete platforms.
196 root 1.202
197 root 1.201 3.4 Fri Jan 19 21:52:54 CET 2007
198 root 1.197 - remove t/09_timer.t, as it isn't really testing much
199     but was rather flaky in practise.
200 root 1.198 - async_pool coro would keep arguments and callback alive until
201     it was reused.
202 root 1.199 - cancellation of a coroutine could cause spurious idle calls
203     in cede_notself.
204 root 1.197
205 root 1.196 3.3 Sat Jan 6 03:45:00 CET 2007
206 root 1.187 - implement $coro->on_destroy.
207 root 1.188 - Coro::Event blocking semantics have been changed,
208     documented and - hopefully - improved.
209 root 1.184 - fix nice adding, not subtracting, from priority.
210 root 1.185 - fix ->prio and api_is_ready (patch by Mark Hinds).
211 root 1.190 - fixed an assert ("... == prev__cctx->idle_te")
212     that could errronously trigger.
213 root 1.192 - fix various large and small memleaks.
214 root 1.191 - use a (hopefully) more stable cancel implementation
215     that immediately frees the coroutine data.
216 root 1.194 - cede/cede_notself return a status now.
217 root 1.191 - added Coro::guard function.
218 root 1.193 - added a global coroutine pool for jobs (on my machine,
219     I can create and execute 48k simple coros/s with async,
220     and 128k coros with async_pool).
221 root 1.195 - Coro::AIO now uses the coroutine priority as io priority.
222 root 1.184
223 root 1.183 3.2 Fri Dec 22 05:07:09 CET 2006
224 root 1.179 - improve portability to slightly older perls.
225 root 1.180 - use cleaner coroutine destruction.
226 root 1.182 - simplify configuration for users.
227     - optionally (unrecommended) prefer perl functions over
228     their coro replacements.
229 root 1.179
230 root 1.178 3.11 Tue Dec 5 13:11:24 CET 2006
231     - fixed some bogus assert's, but as perl.h disables assert even
232     without NDEBUG (thank you very much), not too many people should
233     notice (that did include myself). Andreas König noticed, though :)
234     - do not save/restore PL_sortcxix on >= 5.9.x, it doesn't seem to have
235     it. Also noticed by Andreas König :)
236     - save/restore tainted status.
237     - verified to pass the testsuite on my 5.9.5.
238    
239 root 1.177 3.1 Mon Dec 4 23:03:40 CET 2006
240     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: $/ is now per-coroutine (but slow).
241 root 1.175 - incompatible change: transfer flags are now per-state.
242 root 1.173 - give a better error message on deadlock.
243 root 1.175 - document Coro::nready.
244 root 1.174 - enhanced testsuite.
245 root 1.169
246 root 1.172 3.01 Sun Dec 3 23:47:42 CET 2006
247     - forgot to include Coro::Timer.
248    
249 root 1.171 3.0 Sun Dec 3 22:57:25 CET 2006
250 root 1.163 - the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon:
251     the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
252 root 1.166 - implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack
253     pool (size currently hardcoded).
254 root 1.155 - make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
255 root 1.157 - eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
256 root 1.152 - Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but
257 root 1.161 no Coro::Event watchers were used.
258 root 1.167 - Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not
259     check for changed watchers.
260 root 1.170 - Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one
261     per event.
262 root 1.152 - Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
263 root 1.165 - new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
264 root 1.164 - document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
265 root 1.163 - putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under
266     some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
267 root 1.161 - minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported
268     directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
269 root 1.156 - state/coro switching is much faster now.
270 root 1.154 - very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
271 root 1.153 - avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
272 root 1.154 - removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
273     - replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
274 root 1.156 - updated to newest libcoro.
275 root 1.159 - implement enhanced support for valgrind.
276 root 1.162 - implement is_ready and return value for ready.
277 root 1.168 - removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators),
278     and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back
279     if somebody asks for it :)
280 root 1.163 - many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return
281     spuriously without the event having happened.
282 root 1.146
283 root 1.145 2.5 Tue Nov 7 12:22:33 CET 2006
284 root 1.143 - made Coro::Util, Coro::Select, Coro::Handle and Coro::Socket
285     use AnyEvent, moved them to Coro/.
286 root 1.140 - added Coro::LWP which contains all the uglyness required to
287     make LWP non-blocking.
288     - should work with perl 5.9.x now (Andreas König made me do it).
289 root 1.141 - fixed another bug in Coro::Select when the timeout was undef.
290 root 1.136 - reuse PL_start_env for all coros, saves some memory per coroutine.
291     - manage PL_top_env differently, hopefully to avoid panic: top_env.
292 root 1.137 - timeout argument was not properly used in Coro::Socket.
293     - allow limited forms of subclassing in Coro::Handle/Coro::Socket.
294 root 1.138 - emulate undocumented(!) functionality of IO::Socket required
295     by LWP(!!).
296     - updated eg/lwp to work with newer lwp's.
297 root 1.140 - remove "FATAL: uncaught exception" prefix. Coroutines that die
298     kill the whole process, just as exceptions in the main "coroutine"
299     did already.
300 root 1.135
301 root 1.134 2.1 Wed Nov 1 23:01:13 CET 2006
302     - fix a long-standing bug in Coro::Select where select with
303     zero timeout would instead change the current default filehandle.
304 root 1.132 - use a simpler and hopefully more robust way to clone padlists
305     (uses less memory and a perl function instead of our own).
306     - coro can now create a stack guard area on many architectures.
307 root 1.134 - Coro::AIO properly reexports additional functions from IO::AIO.
308 root 1.132 - updated libcoro with a workaround for OS X,
309 root 1.134 pach and testing by Michael Schwern.
310 root 1.130
311 root 1.129 2.0 Tue Oct 24 05:47:17 CEST 2006
312 root 1.128 - support additional aio requests in Coro::AIO.
313    
314 root 1.129 1.9 (never properly released due to a glitch)
315    
316 root 1.127 1.8 Thu Feb 2 00:59:06 CET 2006
317 root 1.125 - applied suggested patch by SAMV to avoid problems during stupid
318     mark & sweep gc run.
319 root 1.126 - applied patch by Scott Walters for 5.9.3 compatibility.
320 root 1.125
321 root 1.124 1.7 Tue Dec 27 01:41:58 CET 2005
322 root 1.123 - added Coro::AIO, a thin wrapper around IO::AIO.
323 root 1.122 - improved Makefile.PL explanations.
324    
325 root 1.119 1.6 Mon Dec 12 21:30:05 CET 2005
326 root 1.117 - additionally save PM_curpm might fix as-of-yet
327 root 1.121 unseen problems with regex matches being attributed to the
328 root 1.117 wrong package.
329 root 1.118 - add t/10_bugs.t, which currently checks against imho broken
330     perls that use 0.26MB of stack space per Perl_magic_get
331 root 1.121 invocation (newer linuxes) as opposed to the 0.0002MB perl
332     normally uses.
333 root 1.120 - make stacksize configurable for the ultimate debian experience.
334 root 1.117
335 root 1.116 1.51 Mon Dec 12 18:48:36 CET 2005
336     - remove debugging warn() accidentally left in Coro::Select.
337    
338 root 1.115 1.5 Tue Nov 29 13:32:44 CET 2005
339 root 1.114 - use Coro::Event inside Coro::Select to avoid spurious deadlocks.
340 root 1.115 - fix Coro::Select 'select'.
341     - strict'ify some modules.
342 root 1.112 - libcoro errornously restored the SIGUSR2 handler to SIGUSR1.
343 root 1.115 - use XSLoader in selected modules.
344     - remove some 5.6 compatibility cruft.
345 root 1.112
346 root 1.111 1.4 Tue Sep 6 00:11:05 CEST 2005
347     - libcoro did not take into account the trampoline on amd64,
348     when 'l'inux method was used.
349    
350 root 1.110 1.31 Tue Aug 30 23:31:33 CEST 2005
351     - some portability fixes/workarounds.
352    
353 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
354 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
355 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
356     Coro::State::flush method.
357 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
358 root 1.106
359 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005
360 root 1.100 - included libcoro.c earlier in State.xs, might improve portability.

375 root 1.96 - fix the remaining(??) memleak. I didn't free the cache-AV for
376     padlists, so one AV per created anon-sub leaked.
377 root 1.95
378 pcg 1.94 0.97 Fri May 14 15:23:32 CEST 2004
379     - remove stupid gcc extension that was an experiment only anyway.

381 pcg 1.93 0.96 Thu May 13 18:09:29 CEST 2004
382 root 1.103 - tell people if they have yet another broken Event variant.
383 pcg 1.91 - made Coro to work _better_ with threads (it seems that, as long
384     as you use Coros in one thread only everything will work fine.
385     Looking at the perl source the problem might be missing locking
386     between Coro and some perl internal routines. That's not easily
387     fixable).
388 pcg 1.92 - (hopefully) got rid of the static xnext inside transfer.
389 pcg 1.91
390 pcg 1.90 0.95 Sun Feb 15 03:20:28 CET 2004
391 pcg 1.86 - removed Coro::State::flush, implemented a new and much
392     faster caching mechanism by attaching magic to the CV.
393 pcg 1.87 - a memleak with (real) closures remains.
394 pcg 1.88 - dramatically reduced size of stacks to 65536 (linux/x86), after
395     observing that even myhttpd never had more than a kilobyte
396     of stack in use (stack is still only physically allocated in
397     pagesize increments for systems suporting mmap).
398 pcg 1.89 - fix for a "cygwin-64" architecture added, proposed by Stefan Traby.
399 pcg 1.90 - fix for threaded perl.

402 pcg 1.84 - fix a few very hard to track down but (of course) stupid
403     memory leaks.
404     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
405 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
406     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
407 pcg 1.84
408 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003
409     - port to perl5.005_03, but only 5.8.x+ is supported!
410 pcg 1.82 - honor LocalAddr even without LocalPort in Coro::Socket.
411    
412 root 1.81 0.7 Tue May 27 03:12:38 CEST 2003
413     - the version jump indicates some level of testing, not gobs
414     of new features.
415 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
416     Highly correct stuff, that is...
417 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".
418     the fix is not well understood by the author, so beware :(.

421 root 1.76 - Applied patch by Slaven Rezic to set default to "s" on FreeBSD,

445 root 1.69 - fixed backspace => tab in header parsing (myhttpd).
446 root 1.70 - added eg/readline, for elmex.
447     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
448     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.
449     - fixed a bug where Coro::Socket returned a closed socket instead
450     of nothing on ECONNREFUSED and similar error conditions.
451 root 1.69
452 root 1.68 0.533 Mon Feb 18 18:49:40 CET 2002

454     - fixed buggy event initialization (trapped under windows, but how
455     could it possibly have worked anywhere?)
456    
457 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002
458 root 1.66 - removed the reference to pp_entersub, might work on
459     (some) win32 perls now (testsuite works under cygwin,
460     without Event, which freezes).
461 root 1.65

466 root 1.60 - some tests for Event.
467 root 1.61 - slightly different internal architecture to get refcnt into the object

545 root 1.24 - the great renaming: Damian Conway gave me a suitable replacement
546     for yield.
547 root 1.23 - added Coro/libcoro, a portable coroutine implementation for C
548 root 1.22 (not even perl-dependent!!!), which can be used by Coro::State.
549 root 1.20 - renamed SAVE_DEFSV (on xs-level only) to avoid symbol clash in

596 root 1.4 - transfer() now implemented in XS (beware).
597     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
598     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
599 root 1.3 really low-level and can thus be used to implement other
600 root 1.4 interesting things, While "Coro::" implements a process-like
