1Revision history for Perl extension Coro. 1Revision history for Perl extension Coro.
2 2
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?
8TODO: how to debug safe_cancel failure (vebrose mode? show how to make backtrace?)
9TODO: scalar context for Coro::AIO wrappers?
7 10
8TODO: dynamic wind, test and document 116.55 Fri Jul 19 17:28:09 CEST 2019
9TODO: killall? unready_all? 12 - Coro::RWLock woke up only one reader instead of all after a wrlock
105.13 13 (analyzed and patch by Maxim Skorobogatov).
14 - slightly improved documentation of Coro::RWLock and RWLock testcase.
15 - quickly (re)-ported to minix 3.3 before minix crashed again.
16
176.54 Sun Dec 16 11:06:07 CET 2018
18 - reinstate Coro::Select::select prototype - it breaks more than it fixes.
19
206.53 Sun Dec 16 10:33:15 CET 2018
21 - the autogenerated prototypes of Coro::AIO now add ";" at the end
22 to avoid generating named unary operators and messing up parsing
23 (mostly affects aio_mlockall 4 | 8 which was parsed as
24 (aio_mlockall 4) | 8).
25 - do not use a prototype for select in Coro::Select, as CORE::select also
26 doesn't have one.
27
286.52 Tue Aug 14 18:49:43 CEST 2018
29 - libcoro update: allow sharing of coro threads using the pthreads
30 backend among different pthreads, as is required by Coro::Multicore.
31 - always allow ->call and ->eval when the coro is the current coroutine. this
32 makes it possible, among other things, to call these on $Coro::main.
33 - minor code cleanups.
34
356.514 Thu Aug 31 18:25:31 CEST 2017
36 - safe_cancel no longer croaks when called on already-destroyed
37 thread, but instead "just works".
38
396.513 Sat Jul 15 01:18:51 CEST 2017
40 - experimental 5.22 comaptibility changes (PadlistNAMES).
41 - removed attributes example and made sure the other examples
42 still work.
43 - fix some statevar types for newer perls, should be of no consequence.
44
456.512 Fri Jul 14 05:03:17 CEST 2017
46 - seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the
47 minimum requirement in Makefile.PL.
48 - experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY).
49 - experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad -> PADOFFSET).
50 - disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid broken (but well-intentioned)
51 fortified longjmp variants in some libcs.
52 - re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve
53 portability (still doesn't seem to work around broken selinux
54 mmap everywhere).
55 - speling fixes (Xavier Guimard).
56
576.511 Sun Jun 26 23:44:50 CEST 2016
58 - make it compile with threaded perls again.
59 - simplify and speed up __DIE__ and __WARN__ handling.
60
616.51 Sat Jun 25 20:57:20 CEST 2016
62 - 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to
63 a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
64 - since various broken or deficient patches float around
65 to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide
66 our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive
67 and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
68 - work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24
69 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
70
716.5 Wed Jun 22 22:23:50 CEST 2016
72 - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing
73 wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the
74 same sv in the same thread.
75 - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again
76 with the same variables.
77 - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads.
78 - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions
79 for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase.
80 - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report.
81 - adjust to PL_savestack changes in perl 5.24 (adapted from
82 the debian patch, which unfortunately gets it wrong).
83
846.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015
85 - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in
86 Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers,
87 causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard).
88 - bump minimum perl version to 5.10.
89
906.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015
91 - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally
92 (testcase by Sten Sten).
93 - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the
94 version 3 API calls).
95 - remove unused hv_sig.
96
976.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015
98 - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20.
99
1006.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015
101 - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation
102 (patch by Petr Písař).
103
1046.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015
105 - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below.
106
1076.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
108 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
109 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
110 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
111 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
112 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
113 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
114
1156.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
116 - use stability canary.
117 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
118 - update libecb.
119
1206.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
121 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
122 SATO Kentaro).
123 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
124
1256.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
126 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
127 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
128 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
129 when used inside a Coro.
130 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
131 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
132 but wasn't legal until now.
133 - slightly better c header file detection.
134
1356.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
136 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
137
1386.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
139 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
140 interpreter variables.
141 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
142 by Andreas König).
143 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
144
1456.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
146 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
147 perl bug, of all things.
148
1496.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
150 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
151 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
152 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
153 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
154 possibly causing a deadlock.
155 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
156 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
157 where the actual call is.
158 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
159 the right thing to do, just in case.
160 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
161 or under adverse conditions.
162
1636.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
164 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
165 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
166
1676.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
168 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
169 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
170 by Darin McBride).
171
1726.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
173 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
174 while the request was ongoing.
175
1766.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
177 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
178 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
179 likely causing a crash.
180
1816.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
182 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
183 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
184 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
185 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
186 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
187 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
188 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
189 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
190 this detection cannot work reliably.
191 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
192 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
193
1946.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
195 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
196 perls.
197 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
198 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
199 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
200 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
201 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
202 the testsuite.
203 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
204 improved compatibility with LWP.
205 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
206 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
207 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
208 - libcoro version 3 "released".
209 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
210 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
211 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
212
2136.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
214 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
215 big endian systems (reported by many people).
216 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
217
2186.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
219 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
220 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
221 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
222 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
223 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
224 - use fd -1 in mmap.
225 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
226 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
227
2286.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
229 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
230 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
231
2326.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
233 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
234 - update ecb.h.
235
2366.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
237 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
238 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
239 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
240 twice just to be sure.
241 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
242 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
243 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
244 even better performance...).
245
2466.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
247 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
248 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
249 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
250 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
251
2526.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
253 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
254 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
255 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
256
2576.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
258 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
259 AnyEvent 6.x.
260 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
261 hasn't been included.
262
2636.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011
264 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
265 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
266 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
267 systems.
268
2696.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
270 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
271 was not good. this one should be better.
272 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
273
2746.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
275 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
276 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
277 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
278 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
279 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
280 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
281 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
282 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
283 in thread switching.
284 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
285 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
286 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
287 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
288 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
289 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
290 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
291 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
292 deadlocking.
293 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
294 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
295 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
296 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
297 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
298 allocating context stack entries.
299 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
300 a reduction in memory use.
301 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
302 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
303 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
304 callbacks (best effort).
305 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
306 functions to have destructors.
307 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
308 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
309 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
310 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
311 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
312 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
313 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
314 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
315 and it's known since at least 2006.
316
3175.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
318 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
319 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
320 my attention by Max Maischein).
321 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
322
3235.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
324 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
325
3265.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
327 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
328 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
329 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
330 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
331 saves quite a lot of memory.
332
3335.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
334 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
335 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
336 method call.
337 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
338 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
339 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
340 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
341
3425.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
343 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
344 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
345 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
346 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
347
3485.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
349 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
350 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
351 out of the box.
352 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
353 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
354 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
355
3565.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
357 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
358 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
359 Waldorf).
360 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
361
3625.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
363 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
364 (testcase by Marc Mims).
365 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
366 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
367 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
368 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
369 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
370 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
371 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
372 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
373 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
374 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
375
3765.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
377 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
378 together.
379 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
380 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
381 the most common source of confusion.
382 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
383 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
384 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
385 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
386
3875.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
388 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
389 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
390 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
391 - new method $state->swap_sv.
392 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
393 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
394 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
395 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
396 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
397 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
398 - use common::sense everywhere now.
399 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
400 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
401
4025.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
403 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
404 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
405 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
406 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
407 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
408 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
409
4105.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
411 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
412 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
413
4145.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
415 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
416 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
417 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
418 not on demand.
419 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
420
4215.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
422 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
423 when no threads had been readied between detecting
424 the event loop and actually running it.
425 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
426 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
427 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
428 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
429 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
430 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
431 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
432 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
433 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
434 for hardcode select overriding.
435
4365.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
437 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
438 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
439 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
440
4415.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
442 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
443 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
444 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
445 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
446 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
447 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
448 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
449 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
450 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
451 (Coro::State::enable_times).
452
4535.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
454 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
455 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
456 idle_upto).
457 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
458 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
459 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
460 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
461 had already been freed.
462 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
463 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
464 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
465 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
466 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
467 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
468 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
469 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
470 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
471 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
472 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
473 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
474
4755.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009
476 - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in
477 Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later.
478 - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options,
479 should support a prepare callback.

484 the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn).
