3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell). 3TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell).
4TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's 4TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)?
5 actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!), 5TODO: __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM
6 but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)). 6TODO: swap_sv, maybe add scope_swap_sv?
7TODO: croak when async_pool tries to run canceled thread?
7 8
85.11 9 - seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the
10 minimum requirement in Makefile.PL.
11 - experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY).
12 - experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad -> PADOFFSET).
13 - re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve
14 portability.
15
166.511 Sun Jun 26 23:44:50 CEST 2016
17 - make it compile with threaded perls again.
18 - simplify and speed up __DIE__ and __WARN__ handling.
19
206.51 Sat Jun 25 20:57:20 CEST 2016
21 - 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to
22 a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
23 - since various broken or deficient patches float around
24 to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide
25 our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive
26 and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
27 - work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24
28 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
29
306.5 Wed Jun 22 22:23:50 CEST 2016
31 - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing
32 wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the
33 same sv in the same thread.
34 - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again
35 with the same variables.
36 - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads.
37 - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions
38 for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase.
39 - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report.
40 - adjust to PL_savestack changes in perl 5.24 (adapted from
41 the debian patch, which unfortunately gets it wrong).
42
436.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015
44 - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in
45 Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers,
46 causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard).
47 - bump minimum perl version to 5.10.
48
496.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015
50 - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally
51 (testcase by Sten Sten).
52 - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the
53 version 3 API calls).
54 - remove unused hv_sig.
55
566.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015
57 - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20.
58
596.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015
60 - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation
61 (patch by Petr Písař).
62
636.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015
64 - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below.
65
666.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
67 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
68 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
69 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
70 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
71 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
72 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
73
746.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
75 - use stability canary.
76 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
77 - update libecb.
78
796.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
80 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
81 SATO Kentaro).
82 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
83
846.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
85 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
86 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
87 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
88 when used inside a Coro.
89 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
90 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
91 but wasn't legal until now.
92 - slightly better c header file detection.
93
946.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
95 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
96
976.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
98 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
99 interpreter variables.
100 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
101 by Andreas König).
102 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
103
1046.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
105 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
106 perl bug, of all things.
107
1086.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
109 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
110 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
111 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
112 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
113 possibly causing a deadlock.
114 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
115 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
116 where the actual call is.
117 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
118 the right thing to do, just in case.
119 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
120 or under adverse conditions.
121
1226.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
123 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
124 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
125
1266.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
127 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
128 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
129 by Darin McBride).
130
1316.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
132 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
133 while the request was ongoing.
134
1356.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
136 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
137 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
138 likely causing a crash.
139
1406.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
141 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
142 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
143 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
144 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
145 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
146 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
147 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
148 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
149 this detection cannot work reliably.
150 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
151 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
152
1536.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
154 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
155 perls.
156 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
157 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
158 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
159 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
160 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
161 the testsuite.
162 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
163 improved compatibility with LWP.
164 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
165 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
166 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
167 - libcoro version 3 "released".
168 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
169 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
170 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
171
1726.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
173 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
174 big endian systems (reported by many people).
175 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
176
1776.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
178 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
179 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
180 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
181 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
182 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
183 - use fd -1 in mmap.
184 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
185 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
186
1876.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
188 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
189 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
190
1916.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
192 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
193 - update ecb.h.
194
1956.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
196 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
197 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
198 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
199 twice just to be sure.
200 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
201 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
202 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
203 even better performance...).
204
2056.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
206 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
207 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
208 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
209 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
210
2116.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
212 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
213 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
214 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
215
2166.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
217 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
218 AnyEvent 6.x.
219 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
220 hasn't been included.
221
2226.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011
223 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
224 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
225 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
226 systems.
227
2286.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
229 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
230 was not good. this one should be better.
231 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
232
2336.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
234 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
235 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
236 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
237 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
238 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
239 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
240 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
241 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
242 in thread switching.
243 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
244 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
245 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
246 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
247 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
248 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
249 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
250 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
251 deadlocking.
252 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
253 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
254 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
255 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
256 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
257 allocating context stack entries.
258 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
259 a reduction in memory use.
260 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
261 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
262 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
263 callbacks (best effort).
264 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
265 functions to have destructors.
266 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
267 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
268 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
269 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
270 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
271 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
272 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
273 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
274 and it's known since at least 2006.
275
2765.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
277 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
278 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
279 my attention by Max Maischein).
280 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
281
2825.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
283 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
284
2855.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
286 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
287 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
288 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
289 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
290 saves quite a lot of memory.
291
2925.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
293 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
294 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
295 method call.
296 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
297 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
298 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
299 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
300
3015.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
302 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
303 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
304 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
305 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
306
3075.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
308 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
309 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
310 out of the box.
311 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
312 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
313 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
314
3155.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
316 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
317 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
318 Waldorf).
319 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
320
3215.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
322 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
323 (testcase by Marc Mims).
324 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
325 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
326 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
327 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
328 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
329 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
330 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
331 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
332 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
333 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
334
3355.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
336 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
337 together.
338 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
339 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
340 the most common source of confusion.
341 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
342 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
343 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
344 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
345
3465.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
347 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
348 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
349 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
350 - new method $state->swap_sv.
351 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
352 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
353 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
354 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
355 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
356 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
357 - use common::sense everywhere now.
358 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
359 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
360
3615.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
362 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
363 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
364 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
365 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
366 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
367 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
368
3695.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
370 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
371 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
372
3735.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
374 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
375 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
376 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
377 not on demand.
378 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
379
3805.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
381 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
382 when no threads had been readied between detecting
383 the event loop and actually running it.
384 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
385 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
386 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
387 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
388 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
389 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
390 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
391 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
392 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
393 for hardcode select overriding.
394
3955.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
396 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
397 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
398 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
399
4005.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
401 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
402 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
403 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
404 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
405 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
406 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
407 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
408 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
409 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
410 (Coro::State::enable_times).
411
4125.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
413 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
414 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
415 idle_upto).
416 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
417 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
418 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
419 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
420 had already been freed.
421 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
422 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
423 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
424 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
425 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
426 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
427 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
428 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
429 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
430 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
431 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
432 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
433
4345.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
435 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
436 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
437 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
438 should support a prepare callback.
439
4405.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009
441 - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume.
442 - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close
443 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
444
4455.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008
446 - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave).
447 - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid
448 spurious warnings.
449 - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet.
450 - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly.
451 - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods.
452 - take advantage of the new Guard module.
453 - deprecate Coro::guard.
454 - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when
455 testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test.
456 - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable.
457 - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval.
458 - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one
459 when temporarily switching to another coroutine.
460 - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction,
461 to avoid needless segfaults.

4635.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008
464 - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug
465 compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing
466 openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :).
467 - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't
468 seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval ""
469 inside a function called from multiple coroutines.
470 - use a different method to detect destruction time.
471 - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global
472 destruction.
473 - fixed and expanded the call/cc example.
474 - renamed _terminate to _coro_run.
475 - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown.
476 - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will
477 pthreads fare better?).
478 - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine.
