8 | - use even more effciient and more compatible condvars for |
|
|
9 | compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :) |
|
|
10 | - more inconsequential ecb.h updates. |

|
|
13 | - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to |
|
|
14 | AnyEvent 6.x. |
|
|
15 | - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h |
|
|
16 | hasn't been included. |

19 | - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables |
|
|
20 | in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't |
|
|
21 | handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar |
|
|
22 | systems. |

|
25 | - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used |
|
|
26 | was not good. thisone should be better. |
|
|
27 | - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself. |

32 | - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code, |

33 | which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and |

34 | about 4% on non-thraeded perls (so threaded perls now finally |
