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

356 root 1.107 1.3 Sat Aug 20 03:08:56 CEST 2005
357 root 1.108 - no code changes. module seems to work fine.
358 root 1.106 - improve Coro::State docs, remove reference to nonexisting
359     Coro::State::flush method.
360 root 1.107 - no longer autodetect windows, present it as an option instead.
361 root 1.106
362 root 1.105 1.2 Mon May 16 02:00:55 CEST 2005

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

406     memory leaks.
407     - stringify version number to avoid locale problems :(.
408 pcg 1.85 - perl 5.9.0 does not have SvPADBUSY, reported by Scott Walters,
409     hopefully ignoring it "just works".
410 pcg 1.84
411 pcg 1.83 0.8 Wed Nov 5 19:38:40 CET 2003

418 root 1.80 - uh... I found the prompt function in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
419     Highly correct stuff, that is...
420 root 1.81 - fixed(?) a bug with die's in coroutines causing "panic: top_env".

450     - Coro::Event now calls ->start on first call instead of
451     ->again, which created wrong timeouts for the first ->next.

460 root 1.67 0.532 Wed Jan 16 02:45:32 CET 2002

600     - new module Coro::Cont for really faked continuations.
601     - big internal architecture changes: Coro::State is now
