Revision history for IO::AIO |

1.3 |
4 |
- properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently |
5 |
eating them. |
6 |
- use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback |
7 |
invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes. |
8 |
- fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong |
9 |
length after reading. |
10 |
- fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests |
11 |
from the parent. |
12 |
- make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon |
13 |
(but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. |
14 |
- the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. |
15 |
- aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data |
16 |
scalar for better error reporting. |

1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005 |
19 |
- verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. |
20 |
- use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to |
21 |
the external filename encoding first. |
22 |
- fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). |
23 |
- clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away |
24 |
with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. |
25 |
- fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and |
26 |
posix contradict each other, I followed posix). |
27 |
- only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). |
28 |
- new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. |
29 |
- force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better |
30 |
error catching. |
31 |
|
32 |
1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 |
33 |
- added configure script to detect availability of some calls. |
34 |
(imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing |
35 |
feedback yet). |
36 |
- emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write |
37 |
and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those. |
38 |
- ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick |
39 |
from Linux::AIO. |
40 |
- removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't |
41 |
compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. |
42 |
- try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. |
43 |
- cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing |
44 |
the fd to an fh. |
45 |
- convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might |
46 |
do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you |
47 |
properly encode your pathnames. |
48 |

1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 |
50 |
- aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. |
51 |
- all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so |
52 |
it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. |
53 |
- disable warnings in AIO.pm. |
54 |
|
55 |
0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005 |
56 |
- allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too. |
57 |
- fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS. |
58 |
- use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover |
59 |
from Linux::AIO. |
60 |
(found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but |
61 |
does not implement pread/pwrite). |
62 |
- only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux. |
63 |
|
64 |
0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005 |
65 |
- removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't |
66 |
need it anyway. |
67 |
- link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync, |
68 |
and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt. |
69 |
|
70 |
0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005 |
71 |
- added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll. |
72 |
- make callback argument optional for all calls. |
73 |
|
74 |
0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005 |
75 |
- restructured manpage. |
76 |
- added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk. |
77 |
- remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain |
78 |
it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :). |
79 |
|
80 |
0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005 |
81 |
- return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0. |
82 |
- get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread |
83 |
communications for most requests and responses. |
84 |
|
85 |
0.1 |
86 |
- cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar. |
