| 7 | - croak when a coro being cancelled tries to block (e.g. while |
7 | TODO: tutorial |
| 8 | executing a guard block). |
8 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be |
|
|
9 | destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). |
|
|
10 | - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code, |
|
|
11 | which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and |
|
|
12 | about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally |
|
|
13 | reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls). |
|
|
14 | - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions. |
|
|
15 | - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement |
|
|
16 | in thread switching. |
|
|
17 | - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. |
| 9 | - implement a Coro::State->safe_cancel method that might fail, but |
18 | - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but |
| 10 | cancels in a "safer" way. |
19 | cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. |
|
|
20 | - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls. |
|
|
21 | - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this |
|
|
22 | speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two. |
|
|
23 | - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block |
|
|
24 | (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or |
|
|
25 | deadlocking. |
|
|
26 | - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State |
|
|
27 | objects - speeds up everything a bit. |
| 11 | - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to |
28 | - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to |
| 12 | be able to implement mutual cancellation. |
29 | be able to implement mutual cancellation. |
|
|
30 | - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently |
|
|
31 | allocating context stack entries. |
|
|
32 | - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and |
|
|
33 | a reduction in memory use. |

|
|
40 | - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter |
|
|
41 | threads by nulling the pointers on clone. |
|
|
42 | - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted |
|
|
43 | logic seems to be no longer neccessary. |
|
|
44 | - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks. |
|
|
45 | - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :) |
|
|
46 | - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds |
|
|
47 | sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it, |
|
|
48 | and it's known since at least 2006. |
