8 | 5.0 |
|
|
9 | - NEW ARCHITECTURE: use 4.912 for the stable version. |
|
|
10 | - bump API version to 7 - all dependents must be recompiled. |
|
|
11 | - perl's process emulation is now not even theoretically supported |
|
|
12 | anymore. |
|
|
13 | - directly patch the entersub opcode calling SLF functions (cede, |
|
|
14 | transfer and so on). this does speed up context switching, but |
|
|
15 | more importanly, it frees us from the hardcoded behaviour of |
|
|
16 | entersub, so we might actually be able to return something from |
|
|
17 | those functions and atcually create new ones. |
|
|
18 | - take advantage of __builtin_frame_address on gcc. |
|
|
19 | - expose THX in coroapi (not sure whether this was a wise decision, |
|
|
20 | as "threaded" perls are running at half speed anyways). |
|
|
21 | - implement execute_slf (schedule-like-function) interface that makes |
|
|
22 | it possible to implement schedule-like-functions in XS. |
|
|
23 | - use new SLF interface to massively speed up Coro::EV (it's roughly |
|
|
24 | twice as fast now). |
|
|

|
26 | 4.912 Thu Nov 13 18:31:23 CET 2008 |
|
|
27 | - minor cleanups. |
|
|
28 | - use much larger stacks on linux and perl < 5.8.8. |
|
|
29 | - Coro::Debug::new_unix_server did not unlink the socket |
|
|
30 | when destroyed. |
|

|
32 | 4.911 Tue Nov 11 04:26:17 CET 2008 |
|
|
33 | - "port" to threaded perls. |
|
|

35 | 4.91 Mon Nov 10 05:36:38 CET 2008 |
|
|
36 | - the ->throw exception object no longer leaks. |
|
|
37 | - creating a new cctx leaked a scopestack entry (memleak). |
|
|
38 | - new coroutines didn't get created with a zero flags field |
|
|
39 | (unknown impact). |
| 9 | - calling ->throw on a not-yet-started coroutine should now work |

42 | - ->throw is now supported on Coro::State objects. |

|
|
| 13 | - clean up cctx creation code a bit. |
