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: unready_all 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?
8 10
9TODO: myhttpd header parsing 11 - the autogenerated prototypes of Coro::AIO now add ";" at the end
12 to avoid generating named unary operators and messing up parsing
13 (mostly affects aio_mlockall 4 | 8 which was parsed as
14 (aio_mlockall 4) | 8).
15 - do not use a prototype for select in Coro::Select, as CORE::select also
16 doesn't have one.
17
186.52 Tue Aug 14 18:49:43 CEST 2018
19 - libcoro update: allow sharing of coro threads using the pthreads
20 backend among different pthreads, as is required by Coro::Multicore.
21 - always allow ->call and ->eval when the coro is the current coroutine. this
22 makes it possible, among other things, to call these on $Coro::main.
23 - minor code cleanups.
24
256.514 Thu Aug 31 18:25:31 CEST 2017
26 - safe_cancel no longer croaks when called on already-destroyed
27 thread, but instead "just works".
28
296.513 Sat Jul 15 01:18:51 CEST 2017
30 - experimental 5.22 comaptibility changes (PadlistNAMES).
31 - removed attributes example and made sure the other examples
32 still work.
33 - fix some statevar types for newer perls, should be of no consequence.
34
356.512 Fri Jul 14 05:03:17 CEST 2017
36 - seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the
37 minimum requirement in Makefile.PL.
38 - experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY).
39 - experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad -> PADOFFSET).
40 - disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid broken (but well-intentioned)
41 fortified longjmp variants in some libcs.
42 - re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve
43 portability (still doesn't seem to work around broken selinux
44 mmap everywhere).
45 - speling fixes (Xavier Guimard).
46
476.511 Sun Jun 26 23:44:50 CEST 2016
48 - make it compile with threaded perls again.
49 - simplify and speed up __DIE__ and __WARN__ handling.
50
516.51 Sat Jun 25 20:57:20 CEST 2016
52 - 6.5 release didn't compile on most older perls due to
53 a logic error enabling experimental 5.24 code for all versions.
54 - since various broken or deficient patches float around
55 to work around the vtbl API breakage in perl, let's provide
56 our own workaround, which seems to be much less invasive
57 and more compatible than the approaches seen so far. YMMV.
58 - work around assertion failure in perl_destruct on 5.24
59 (analyzed by Dave Mitchell).
60
616.5 Wed Jun 22 22:23:50 CEST 2016
62 - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing
63 wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the
64 same sv in the same thread.
65 - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again
66 with the same variables.
67 - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads.
68 - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions
69 for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase.
70 - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report.
71 - adjust to PL_savestack changes in perl 5.24 (adapted from
72 the debian patch, which unfortunately gets it wrong).
73
746.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015
75 - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in
76 Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers,
77 causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard).
78 - bump minimum perl version to 5.10.
79
806.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015
81 - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally
82 (testcase by Sten Sten).
83 - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the
84 version 3 API calls).
85 - remove unused hv_sig.
86
876.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015
88 - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20.
89
906.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015
91 - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation
92 (patch by Petr Písař).
93
946.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015
95 - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below.
96
976.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015
98 - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread.
99 - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing
100 failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring
101 the latest version of Event because I don't know which release
102 changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog).
103 - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI.
104
1056.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015
106 - use stability canary.
107 - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001.
108 - update libecb.
109
1106.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015
111 - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by
112 SATO Kentaro).
113 - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant.
114
1156.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014
116 - restore portability to perl 5.8.x.
117 - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes
118 up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules
119 when used inside a Coro.
120 - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing
121 as no argument. this works with older versions as well,
122 but wasn't legal until now.
123 - slightly better c header file detection.
124
1256.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014
126 - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20.
127
1286.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014
129 - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold
130 interpreter variables.
131 - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported
132 by Andreas König).
133 - croak when cancel is called without a thread context.
134
1356.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014
136 - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a
137 perl bug, of all things.
138
1396.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014
140 - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted
141 by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse.
142 - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire
143 the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters,
144 possibly causing a deadlock.
145 - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess
146 to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out
147 where the actual call is.
148 - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is
149 the right thing to do, just in case.
150 - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems
151 or under adverse conditions.
152
1536.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013
154 - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18).
155 - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix.
156
1576.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013
158 - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old
159 one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported
160 by Darin McBride).
161
1626.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013
163 - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd
164 while the request was ongoing.
165
1666.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013
167 - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being
168 destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed,
169 likely causing a crash.
170
1716.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013
172 - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so
173 they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later
174 (testcase by Andrey Sagulin).
175 - improved Coro::State documentation a bit.
176 - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output.
177 - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs
178 who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without
179 providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result,
180 this detection cannot work reliably.
181 - valgrind stack registering was broken.
182 - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug.
183
1846.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012
185 - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows
186 perls.
187 - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes,
188 to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os".
189 - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64.
190 activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due
191 to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes
192 the testsuite.
193 - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly
194 improved compatibility with LWP.
195 - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a
196 good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos.
197 - move stack management functions into libcoro 3.
198 - libcoro version 3 "released".
199 - support magic values as timed_io_once args.
200 - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV
201 version 4 or newer for Coro::EV.
202
2036.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012
204 - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many
205 big endian systems (reported by many people).
206 - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability.
207
2086.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012
209 - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions
210 (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten).
211 - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to
212 be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious
213 wakeups needs fixing anyway.
214 - use fd -1 in mmap.
215 - cast I32 to int in error message printf.
216 - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels.
217
2186.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012
219 - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly,
220 exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks.
221
2226.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011
223 - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV).
224 - update ecb.h.
225
2266.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011
227 - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads
228 backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins
229 pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack
230 twice just to be sure.
231 (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS,
232 in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows
233 backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for
234 even better performance...).
235
2366.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011
237 - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore
238 (reported by Chip Salzenberg).
239 - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in
240 Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes.
241
2426.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011
243 - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for
244 compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :)
245 - more inconsequential ecb.h updates.
246
2476.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011
248 - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to
249 AnyEvent 6.x.
250 - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h
251 hasn't been included.
252
2536.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011
254 - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables
255 in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't
256 handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar
257 systems.
258
2596.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011
260 - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used
261 was not good. this one should be better.
262 - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself.
263
2646.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011
265 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be
266 destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }).
267 - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code,
268 which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and
269 about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally
270 reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls).
271 - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions.
272 - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement
273 in thread switching.
274 - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie.
275 - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but
276 cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds.
277 - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls.
278 - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this
279 speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two.
280 - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block
281 (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or
282 deadlocking.
283 - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State
284 objects - speeds up everything a bit.
285 - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to
286 be able to implement mutual cancellation.
287 - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently
288 allocating context stack entries.
289 - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and
290 a reduction in memory use.
291 - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is
292 now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion.
293 - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy
294 callbacks (best effort).
295 - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf
296 functions to have destructors.
297 - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter
298 threads by nulling the pointers on clone.
299 - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted
300 logic seems to be no longer neccessary.
301 - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks.
302 - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :)
303 - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds
304 sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it,
305 and it's known since at least 2006.
306
3075.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011
308 - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to
309 work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to
310 my attention by Max Maischein).
311 - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used.
312
3135.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011
314 - backport to windows process emulation code again.
315
3165.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011
317 - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro".
318 - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has
319 introduced without depreciation period. sigh.
320 - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which
321 saves quite a lot of memory.
322
3235.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011
324 - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore,
325 Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new"
326 method call.
327 - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module.
328 - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage.
329 - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes.
330 - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore.
331
3325.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010
333 - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally
334 working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack.
335 - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box
336 with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational).
337
3385.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010
339 - port to the EV 4.0 API.
340 - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work
341 out of the box.
342 - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes
343 so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule.
344 - "ported" libcoro to C++.
345
3465.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010
347 - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising
348 Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias
349 Waldorf).
350 - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning.
351
3525.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010
353 - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write
354 (testcase by Marc Mims).
355 - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions
356 are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing
357 functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also
358 fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton
359 with Coro::Util::inet_aton.
360 - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other
361 modules could have provided their own idle coro already
362 (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent).
363 - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions.
364 - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura).
365
3665.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009
367 - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used
368 together.
369 - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in
370 Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be
371 the most common source of confusion.
372 - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback.
373 - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with
374 older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem).
375 - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section.
376
3775.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009
378 - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped.
379 - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now.
380 - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle.
381 - new method $state->swap_sv.
382 - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage,
383 after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip
384 salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments
385 were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first
386 place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand,
387 and maybe well enough for others to understand.
388 - use common::sense everywhere now.
389 - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead.
390 - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected.
391
3925.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009
393 - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes
394 when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug.
395 - speed up Coro::async considerably.
396 - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken
397 setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro.
398 - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API.
399
4005.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009
401 - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement.
402 - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls.
403
4045.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009
405 - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was
406 used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
407 - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded,
408 not on demand.
409 - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures.
410
4115.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009
412 - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop
413 when no threads had been readied between detecting
414 the event loop and actually running it.
415 - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage
416 of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations.
417 - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle
418 (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus).
419 - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported
420 and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
421 - clarified libcoro license and copyright.
422 - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!!
423 - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother,
424 for hardcode select overriding.
425
4265.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009
427 - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by
428 Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO).
429 - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker.
430
4315.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009
432 - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via
433 AnyEvent::Socket instead.
434 - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores.
435 - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic
436 to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf).
437 - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent.
438 - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures,
439 reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno.
440 - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering
441 (Coro::State::enable_times).
442
4435.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009
444 - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent,
445 as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle,
446 idle_upto).
447 - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions.
448 - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages.
449 - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to
450 avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those
451 had already been freed.
452 - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore.
453 - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked
454 list instead of an array (~5-10%).
455 - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells.
456 - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage.
457 - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or
458 Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing
459 (the same is true for Coro::Handle).
460 - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once.
461 - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle.
462 - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend
463 (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
