3 | TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell). |
3 | TODO: should explore PerlIO::coroaio (perl leaks like hell). |
4 | TODO: maybe implement a default message channel, very much like Erlang's |
4 | TODO: channel->maxsize(newsize)? |
5 | actor model (which is cool in a lot of important aspects (failures!), |
5 | TODO: __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM |
6 | but very lacking in others (higher level ipc)). |
6 | TODO: swap_sv, maybe add scope_swap_sv? |
|
|
7 | TODO: croak when async_pool tries to run canceled thread? |
7 | |
8 | |
8 | - minor tuning. |
9 | 6.5 |
|
|
10 | - swap_sv swapping order was not symmetrical, causing |
|
|
11 | wrong swaps when swap_sv was used multiple times on the |
|
|
12 | same sv in the same thread. |
|
|
13 | - swap_sv calls can now be undone by calling it again |
|
|
14 | with the same variables. |
|
|
15 | - swap_sv calls will now be undone in async_pool threads. |
|
|
16 | - split Coro::Semaphore::up/adjust into separate xs functions |
|
|
17 | for better error reporting, at slight codesize increase. |
|
|
18 | - (libcoro) arm assembly support, please test and report. |
|
|
19 | |
|
|
20 | 6.49 Sat Oct 17 01:40:12 CEST 2015 |
|
|
21 | - throwing an exception to a thread waiting in |
|
|
22 | Coro::Handle using Coro::EV did not stop the watchers, |
|
|
23 | causing the next call to fail (testcase by Martin Pritchard). |
|
|
24 | - bump minimum perl version to 5.10. |
|
|
25 | |
|
|
26 | 6.48 Sun Oct 4 19:03:51 CEST 2015 |
|
|
27 | - fix memory leak when Coro::Handle uses Coro::EV internally |
|
|
28 | (testcase by Sten Sten). |
|
|
29 | - update code to libev 4 API (internally, Coro still used the |
|
|
30 | version 3 API calls). |
|
|
31 | - remove unused hv_sig. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | 6.47 Sat Jul 11 03:58:20 CEST 2015 |
|
|
34 | - swap_svs - NVs can be in the SV head beginning with 5.20. |
|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | 6.46 Tue Jun 30 14:36:30 CEST 2015 |
|
|
37 | - restore portability to perls with windows fork emulation |
|
|
38 | (patch by Petr Písař). |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | 6.45 Tue Jun 30 01:40:08 CEST 2015 |
|
|
41 | - restore portability to perl 5.16 and below. |
|
|
42 | |
|
|
43 | 6.44 Tue Jun 30 00:41:54 CEST 2015 |
|
|
44 | - avoid segfaulting (or worse) when tracing a canceled thread. |
|
|
45 | - the Event module silently broke it's public hook API, causing |
|
|
46 | failures on perls compiled with -Duselongdouble. Requiring |
|
|
47 | the latest version of Event because I don't know which release |
|
|
48 | changed this (it's not mentioned in the ChangeLog). |
|
|
49 | - allow xs level enterleave hooks via CoroAPI. |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | 6.43 Thu Jun 4 15:38:14 CEST 2015 |
|
|
52 | - use stability canary. |
|
|
53 | - port to stableperl-5.22.0-1.001. |
|
|
54 | - update libecb. |
|
|
55 | |
|
|
56 | 6.42 Wed Feb 11 20:29:52 CET 2015 |
|
|
57 | - Coro::SemaphoreSet->try did not actually work (analyzed by |
|
|
58 | SATO Kentaro). |
|
|
59 | - upgrade libecb to be C11 compliant. |
|
|
60 | |
|
|
61 | 6.41 Sat Sep 6 22:08:46 CEST 2014 |
|
|
62 | - restore portability to perl 5.8.x. |
|
|
63 | - give new Coro's a valid GvHV(PL_hintgv) - this is slow and takes |
|
|
64 | up some memory, but fixes "use feature" and similar modules |
|
|
65 | when used inside a Coro. |
|
|
66 | - allow zero as argument to Coro::Channel to mean the same thing |
|
|
67 | as no argument. this works with older versions as well, |
|
|
68 | but wasn't legal until now. |
|
|
69 | - slightly better c header file detection. |
|
|
70 | |
|
|
71 | 6.39 Mon Jun 2 00:00:08 CEST 2014 |
|
|
72 | - work around more incompatible changes in 5.20. |
|
|
73 | |
|
|
74 | 6.38 Sun Jun 1 21:54:23 CEST 2014 |
|
|
75 | - check that perl slots actually have enough space to hold |
|
|
76 | interpreter variables. |
|
|
77 | - untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices) (reported |
|
|
78 | by Andreas König). |
|
|
79 | - croak when cancel is called without a thread context. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | 6.37 Tue Mar 4 13:27:33 CET 2014 |
|
|
82 | - *sigh*, removed leftover debugging code from debugging a |
|
|
83 | perl bug, of all things. |
|
|
84 | |
|
|
85 | 6.36 Tue Mar 4 07:11:59 CET 2014 |
|
|
86 | - semaphores would not clear the destroy hook when interrupted |
|
|
87 | by ->throw, causing segfaults or worse. |
|
|
88 | - ->throw on a thread waiting for a semaphore did not acquire |
|
|
89 | the semaphore, but also didn't wake up other waiters, |
|
|
90 | possibly causing a deadlock. |
|
|
91 | - "FATAL: $Coro::IDLE blocked itself" will now use Carp::confess |
|
|
92 | to report a full stacktrace, which should help find out |
|
|
93 | where the actual call is. |
|
|
94 | - "atomically" destroy data in slf_destroy, because it is |
|
|
95 | the right thing to do, just in case. |
|
|
96 | - disable ecb.h libm dependency, to compile on ancient systems |
|
|
97 | or under adverse conditions. |
|
|
98 | |
|
|
99 | 6.33 Mon Nov 18 11:26:27 CET 2013 |
|
|
100 | - do not crash when freeing padlists with holes (in 5.18). |
|
|
101 | - tentative SVt_BIND 5.19 port/fix. |
|
|
102 | |
|
|
103 | 6.32 Tue Nov 5 15:35:35 CET 2013 |
|
|
104 | - use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18. The old |
|
|
105 | one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl (reported |
|
|
106 | by Darin McBride). |
|
|
107 | |
|
|
108 | 6.31 Thu May 9 07:39:48 CEST 2013 |
|
|
109 | - Coro::AIO requests would crash if the thread was ready'd |
|
|
110 | while the request was ongoing. |
|
|
111 | |
|
|
112 | 6.29 Wed May 8 02:55:18 CEST 2013 |
|
|
113 | - when an on_destroy handler destructs the coro currently being |
|
|
114 | destructed a perl scalar could be accessed after being freed, |
|
|
115 | likely causing a crash. |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | 6.28 Wed Mar 6 06:58:02 CET 2013 |
|
|
118 | - clean remnants of existing __DIE__ and __WARN__ handlers so |
|
|
119 | they lose their magic and will not cause segfaults later |
|
|
120 | (testcase by Andrey Sagulin). |
|
|
121 | - improved Coro::State documentation a bit. |
|
|
122 | - Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output. |
|
|
123 | - add hack detection code for x32 abi, because the braindead slugs |
|
|
124 | who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without |
|
|
125 | providing proper compile time symbols to test for it. as a result, |
|
|
126 | this detection cannot work reliably. |
|
|
127 | - valgrind stack registering was broken. |
|
|
128 | - do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug. |
|
|
129 | |
|
|
130 | 6.23 Fri Dec 7 23:36:37 CET 2012 |
|
|
131 | - use experimental fiber implementation on native windows |
|
|
132 | perls. |
|
|
133 | - use sizeof (void *) as multiplication factor for stack sizes, |
|
|
134 | to accomodate the totally braindamaged microsoft 64 bit "os". |
|
|
135 | - changed verifier host from win2k-ap510-32 to win7-sp516-32/64. |
|
|
136 | activeperl 5.16 crashes when PerlIO_define_layer is called due |
|
|
137 | to some bug in the perl dll, strawberry perl at least passes |
|
|
138 | the testsuite. |
|
|
139 | - implement Coro::Handle->peeraddr/host/port, for slightly |
|
|
140 | improved compatibility with LWP. |
|
|
141 | - implement 5.17 compatibility by almost blindly applying a |
|
|
142 | good-looking patch by Father Chrysostomos. |
|
|
143 | - move stack management functions into libcoro 3. |
|
|
144 | - libcoro version 3 "released". |
|
|
145 | - support magic values as timed_io_once args. |
|
|
146 | - recommend AnyEvent 7+ or EV 4+, also require EV |
|
|
147 | version 4 or newer for Coro::EV. |
|
|
148 | |
|
|
149 | 6.10 Tue Oct 9 01:14:27 CEST 2012 |
|
|
150 | - updated ecb.h, it had a typo that caused it to not compile on many |
|
|
151 | big endian systems (reported by many people). |
|
|
152 | - disable memory fences in ecb.h to improve portability. |
|
|
153 | |
|
|
154 | 6.09 Sat Oct 6 23:25:02 CEST 2012 |
|
|
155 | - Coro::EV I/O watchers were not interruptible by exceptions |
|
|
156 | (Coro::State::throw) (testcase by sten). |
|
|
157 | - ->throw now puts threads into the ready queue, as this seems to |
|
|
158 | be expected by existing code, and code that doesn't cope with spurious |
|
|
159 | wakeups needs fixing anyway. |
|
|
160 | - use fd -1 in mmap. |
|
|
161 | - cast I32 to int in error message printf. |
|
|
162 | - warn about broken so-called "hardened" kernels. |
|
|
163 | |
|
|
164 | 6.08 Fri Apr 13 12:05:47 CEST 2012 |
|
|
165 | - be more aggressive about exiting like perl does - formerly, |
|
|
166 | exiting from the non-main thread would not execute END blocks. |
|
|
167 | |
|
|
168 | 6.07 Fri Nov 11 21:21:48 CET 2011 |
|
|
169 | - work around a bug in PerlIO (setting $SIG{__WARN__} to a PVCV). |
|
|
170 | - update ecb.h. |
|
|
171 | |
|
|
172 | 6.06 Mon Aug 8 23:59:48 CEST 2011 |
|
|
173 | - cygwin unfortunately patches the stack at runtime, so we use the pthreads |
|
|
174 | backend, which is an order of magnitude slower. unfortunately, cygwins |
|
|
175 | pthread implementation isn't very complete either, so allocate the stack |
|
|
176 | twice just to be sure. |
|
|
177 | (note: cygwin also enables mymalloc, which is NOT THREADSAFE ON WINDOWS, |
|
|
178 | in its ithreaded perl - best recompile cygwin and use the 'w'indows |
|
|
179 | backend for much better performance. also disable ithreads for |
|
|
180 | even better performance...). |
|
|
181 | |
|
|
182 | 6.05 Thu Aug 4 21:36:36 CEST 2011 |
|
|
183 | - blush, condvar values would not be propagated from send to recv anymore |
|
|
184 | (reported by Chip Salzenberg). |
|
|
185 | - use exponential increase for the readline buffer length in |
|
|
186 | Coro::Handle. also reduce initial allocation to 1020 from 4096 bytes. |
|
|
187 | |
|
|
188 | 6.04 Wed Aug 3 17:15:45 CEST 2011 |
|
|
189 | - use even more efficient and more compatible condvars for |
|
|
190 | compatibility to AnyEvent 6.x :) |
|
|
191 | - more inconsequential ecb.h updates. |
|
|
192 | |
|
|
193 | 6.03 Wed Aug 3 11:41:30 CEST 2011 |
|
|
194 | - change how Coro patches AnyEvent condvars for compatibility to |
|
|
195 | AnyEvent 6.x. |
|
|
196 | - update ecb.h, to no longer include <pthread.h> in case WinNT.h |
|
|
197 | hasn't been included. |
|
|
198 | |
|
|
199 | 6.02 Wed Jul 13 04:35:19 CEST 2011 |
|
|
200 | - "improve portability to Gentoo" - gentoo manages to put perl variables |
|
|
201 | in memory areas that are farther than 2gb apart, which the jit couldn't |
|
|
202 | handle and barfed. now it's just a bit slower on gentoo and similar |
|
|
203 | systems. |
|
|
204 | |
|
|
205 | 6.01 Sun Jul 3 12:31:14 CEST 2011 |
|
|
206 | - workarounds are good, but the test for whether pthreads are used |
|
|
207 | was not good. this one should be better. |
|
|
208 | - check differently whether gcc generates cfi instructions itself. |
|
|
209 | |
|
|
210 | 6.0 Wed Jun 29 19:43:35 CEST 2011 |
|
|
211 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: unreferenced coro objects will now be |
|
|
212 | destroyed and cleaned up automatically (e.g. async { schedule }). |
|
|
213 | - implement a JIT compiler for part of the thread switch code, |
|
|
214 | which gives a 50% speed improvement on threaded perls, and |
|
|
215 | about 4% on non-threaded perls (so threaded perls now finally |
|
|
216 | reach about half the speed of non-threaded perls). |
|
|
217 | - slightly modernise Coro::Intro, add section about rouse functions. |
|
|
218 | - avoid DEFSV and ERRSV, giving another 10% improvement |
|
|
219 | in thread switching. |
|
|
220 | - Coro::State->is_destroyed is now called is_zombie. |
|
|
221 | - implement a Coro->safe_cancel method that might fail, but |
|
|
222 | cancels in a "safer" way if it succeeds. |
|
|
223 | - add preliminary support for DEBUGGING perls. |
|
|
224 | - get rid of two hash-accesses when initialising a new Coro - this |
|
|
225 | speeds up coro creation by almost a factor of two. |
|
|
226 | - croak when a coro that is being cancelled tries to block |
|
|
227 | (e.g. while executing a guard block), instead of crashing or |
|
|
228 | deadlocking. |
|
|
229 | - use a more robust and also faster method to identify Coro::State |
|
|
230 | objects - speeds up everything a bit. |
|
|
231 | - implement Coro->cancel in XS for a 20% speed improvement, and to |
|
|
232 | be able to implement mutual cancellation. |
|
|
233 | - speed up context switches by a percent or two by more efficiently |
|
|
234 | allocating context stack entries. |
|
|
235 | - implement Coro->join and Coro->on_destroy in XS for a speedup and |
|
|
236 | a reduction in memory use. |
|
|
237 | - cancelling a coro while it itself is cancelling another coro is |
|
|
238 | now supported and working, instead of triggering an assertion. |
|
|
239 | - be a bit more crash-resistant when calling (buggy) on_destroy |
|
|
240 | callbacks (best effort). |
|
|
241 | - move on_destroy into the slf_frame, to allow extension slf |
|
|
242 | functions to have destructors. |
|
|
243 | - get rid if coro refcounting - simply crash in other interpreter |
|
|
244 | threads by nulling the pointers on clone. |
|
|
245 | - simplify warn/die hook handling when loading Coro - the convoluted |
|
|
246 | logic seems to be no longer neccessary. |
|
|
247 | - use libecb instead of our own home-grown gcc hacks. |
|
|
248 | - document alternatives to Coro::LWP. Please use them :) |
|
|
249 | - work around another mindless idiotic NEEDLESS bug in openbsd/mirbsds |
|
|
250 | sigaltstack. Really. wine suffers from it, erlang suffers from it, |
|
|
251 | and it's known since at least 2006. |
|
|
252 | |
|
|
253 | 5.372 Wed Feb 23 06:14:30 CET 2011 |
|
|
254 | - apparently mingw doesn't provide a working gettimeofday, try to |
|
|
255 | work around that by relying on Time::HiRes (indirectly brought to |
|
|
256 | my attention by Max Maischein). |
|
|
257 | - fix some portability issues when Time::HiRes was used. |
|
|
258 | |
|
|
259 | 5.371 Mon Feb 21 14:36:08 CET 2011 |
|
|
260 | - backport to windows process emulation code again. |
|
|
261 | |
|
|
262 | 5.37 Sat Feb 19 07:49:44 CET 2011 |
|
|
263 | - add a big "Coro thread life cycle" section to "man Coro". |
|
|
264 | - try a tentative workaround against the breakage that 5.13 has |
|
|
265 | introduced without depreciation period. sigh. |
|
|
266 | - no longer use Time::HiRes if gettimeofday is available, which |
|
|
267 | saves quite a lot of memory. |
|
|
268 | |
|
|
269 | 5.36 Sun Feb 13 05:33:41 CET 2011 |
|
|
270 | - automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore, |
|
|
271 | Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new" |
|
|
272 | method call. |
|
|
273 | - undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module. |
|
|
274 | - optimise Coro::Timer::timeout memory and cpu usage. |
|
|
275 | - slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes. |
|
|
276 | - do not initialise PL_dirty anymore. |
|
|
277 | |
|
|
278 | 5.25 Thu Nov 11 01:08:39 CET 2010 |
|
|
279 | - try a different approach on netbsd - netbsd 5 finally has marginally |
|
|
280 | working pthreads, but still broken ucontext/sigaltstack. |
|
|
281 | - openbsd 4.8 finally got their act together, Coro works out of the box |
|
|
282 | with asm, setjmp and pthreads (no change, just informational). |
|
|
283 | |
|
|
284 | 5.24 Sat Oct 23 11:27:12 CEST 2010 |
|
|
285 | - port to the EV 4.0 API. |
|
|
286 | - work around bugs in mingw32, making strawberry perl work |
|
|
287 | out of the box. |
|
|
288 | - correctly modify Coro::AIO function prototypes |
|
|
289 | so that they reflect the "no optional parameters" rule. |
|
|
290 | - "ported" libcoro to C++. |
|
|
291 | |
|
|
292 | 5.23 Mon May 17 18:50:42 CEST 2010 |
|
|
293 | - be more resistant to ordering changes when initialising |
|
|
294 | Coro::AnyEvent, Coro::EV and Coro::Event (reported by Matthias |
|
|
295 | Waldorf). |
|
|
296 | - document that perl 5.12 deliberately removed support for cloning. |
|
|
297 | |
|
|
298 | 5.22 Wed Apr 14 03:55:35 CEST 2010 |
|
|
299 | - correctly return udnef on errors in Coro::Handle::read/write |
|
|
300 | (testcase by Marc Mims). |
|
|
301 | - convert Coro::Util into a "perl compatibility wrapper" - the functions |
|
|
302 | are less useful now, but are drop-in replacements for existing |
|
|
303 | functions, listing better alternatives in the documentation. This also |
|
|
304 | fixes a bug in Coro::LWP which naively substituted Socket::inet_aton |
|
|
305 | with Coro::Util::inet_aton. |
|
|
306 | - do not override $Coro::idle unconditionally in Coro.pm, as other |
|
|
307 | modules could have provided their own idle coro already |
|
|
308 | (for exmaple, Coro::AnyEvent). |
|
|
309 | - fix Coro::Util::gethost* functions. |
|
|
310 | - Coro::Timer corretcly exports it's symbols (reported by Hideki Yamamura). |
|
|
311 | |
|
|
312 | 5.21 Wed Dec 16 07:19:51 CET 2009 |
|
|
313 | - automatically load Coro::AnyEvent when AnyEvent and Coro are used |
|
|
314 | together. |
|
|
315 | - add some examples on how to combine other event loops with Coro in |
|
|
316 | Coro::AnyEvent, and how to run it (and not to block). Seems to be |
|
|
317 | the most common source of confusion. |
|
|
318 | - try to catch people naively blocking in an event callback. |
|
|
319 | - work around the perl filehandle bug issue in conjunction with |
|
|
320 | older common::sense (as indirectly pointed out by ZSystem). |
|
|
321 | - clarify the "not from signal handlers" section. |
|
|
322 | |
|
|
323 | 5.2 Sun Oct 4 14:54:24 CEST 2009 |
|
|
324 | - Coro::Storable destroyed the prototypes of the functions it wrapped. |
|
|
325 | - export rouse_cb and rouse_wait by default now. |
|
|
326 | - fix various prototype mismatches in Coro::AnyEvent and Coro::Handle. |
|
|
327 | - new method $state->swap_sv. |
|
|
328 | - added section on "windows process emulation" to the manpage, |
|
|
329 | after a not-so-fruitful (nor-friendly) "discussion" with chip |
|
|
330 | salzenberg (discussion implies arguments, but his only arguments |
|
|
331 | were ad-hominems, one wonders why he started it in the first |
|
|
332 | place). I hope this explains it well enough for him to understand, |
|
|
333 | and maybe well enough for others to understand. |
|
|
334 | - use common::sense everywhere now. |
|
|
335 | - idle callbacks are no longer supported, use idle coros instead. |
|
|
336 | - print a thread listing when a deadlock is detected. |
|
|
337 | |
|
|
338 | 5.17 Sat Aug 22 23:09:31 CEST 2009 |
|
|
339 | - work around a bug in the perl debugger causing crashes |
|
|
340 | when running under the debugger by marking _pool_handler as nodebug. |
|
|
341 | - speed up Coro::async considerably. |
|
|
342 | - try some hacks to get netbsd to work "more often" - their broken |
|
|
343 | setjmp/longjmp, ucontext *and* phtreads are really hard on Coro. |
|
|
344 | - convert Coro to AE 5.0 API. |
|
|
345 | |
|
|
346 | 5.162 Tue Jul 28 04:04:03 CEST 2009 |
|
|
347 | - perl 5.8.2 is now minimum requirement. |
|
|
348 | - skip t/19_handle.t on broken windows perls. |
|
|
349 | |
|
|
350 | 5.161 Wed Jul 22 04:47:38 CEST 2009 |
|
|
351 | - Coro::AnyEvent::poll could have a different prototype when EV was |
|
|
352 | used as backend (analyzed by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa). |
|
|
353 | - Coro::AnyEvent errornously initialised the event loop when loaded, |
|
|
354 | not on demand. |
|
|
355 | - try to workaround rare */t/01_unblock.t failures. |
|
|
356 | |
|
|
357 | 5.16 Tue Jul 21 01:44:37 CEST 2009 |
|
|
358 | - Coro::AnyEvent failed to hook into the event loop |
|
|
359 | when no threads had been readied between detecting |
|
|
360 | the event loop and actually running it. |
|
|
361 | - considerably speed up Coro::Select by taking avdantage |
|
|
362 | of AnyEvent > 4.8 and some other optimisations. |
|
|
363 | - implement paragraph readline mode in Coro::Handle |
|
|
364 | (based on patches by Zsbán Ambrus). |
|
|
365 | - replace WSAEINPROGRESS by WSAEWOULDBLOCK (reported |
|
|
366 | and analyzed by Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). |
|
|
367 | - clarified libcoro license and copyright. |
|
|
368 | - someone stole my EXTRA_META!!! |
|
|
369 | - implement Coro::Select::patch_pp_sselect and it's brother, |
|
|
370 | for hardcode select overriding. |
|
|
371 | |
|
|
372 | 5.151 Mon Jul 6 05:41:57 CEST 2009 |
|
|
373 | - backport to windows process emulation code again (patch by |
|
|
374 | Yasuhiro MATSUMOTO). |
|
|
375 | - slightly update Coro::MakeMaker. |
|
|
376 | |
|
|
377 | 5.15 Tue Jun 30 10:28:06 CEST 2009 |
|
|
378 | - deprecate Coro::Socket, document how to get ipv6 support via |
|
|
379 | AnyEvent::Socket instead. |
|
|
380 | - implement signal->wait ($cb) interface, similar to semaphores. |
|
|
381 | - work around SvOK not supporting getmagic, so we have to getmagic |
|
|
382 | to test for undef :/ (reported by Matthias Waldorf). |
|
|
383 | - load Coro::AnyEvent in all modules using AnyEvent. |
|
|
384 | - work around perl corrupting our internal data structures, |
|
|
385 | reported by Tokuhiro Matsuno. |
|
|
386 | - enable per-coroutine real and cpu time gathering |
|
|
387 | (Coro::State::enable_times). |
|
|
388 | |
|
|
389 | 5.14 Wed Jun 24 01:37:48 CEST 2009 |
|
|
390 | - provide explicit functions to "cede" to the event loop in Coro::AnyEvent, |
|
|
391 | as this seems to have been a difficult concept (poll, sleep, idle, |
|
|
392 | idle_upto). |
|
|
393 | - add Coro::AnyEvent::readable/writable functions. |
|
|
394 | - clarify Coro::EV/Event/AnyEvent manpages. |
|
|
395 | - free per-thread global scalars in the thread calling ->cancel, to |
|
|
396 | avoid crashes when $_, $@ etc., are magical but some of those |
|
|
397 | had already been freed. |
|
|
398 | - "unexperimentalise" the callback interface for Coro::Semaphore. |
|
|
399 | - speed up ready queue management/context switching by using a linked |
|
|
400 | list instead of an array (~5-10%). |
|
|
401 | - implement "watch" command in Coro::Debug shells. |
|
|
402 | - for fun, implement time-slicing as an example in the manpage. |
|
|
403 | - if AnyEvent detects EV or Event, but we don't have Coro::EV or |
|
|
404 | Coro::Event, use the normal AnyEvent handling instead of dieing |
|
|
405 | (the same is true for Coro::Handle). |
|
|
406 | - properly document Coro::EV::timed_io_once. |
|
|
407 | - avoid unneccessary ->cancel calls in Coro::Handle. |
|
|
408 | - maybe make it work on mingw32 with win32 backend |
|
|
409 | (based on patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto). |
|
|
410 | |
|
|
411 | 5.132 Fri May 29 09:00:39 CEST 2009 |
|
|
412 | - do not keep a reference to the argument itself in |
|
|
413 | Coro::Semaphore::guard, as it could change later. |
|
|
414 | - support SO_RCVBUF/SO_SNDBUF nonstandard Coro::Socket options, |
|
|
415 | should support a prepare callback. |
|
|
416 | |
|
|
417 | 5.131 Mon Mar 16 23:20:37 CET 2009 |
|
|
418 | - implement and document Coro->suspend, Coro->resume. |
|
|
419 | - fix Coro::Select implementation to not (often) close |
|
|
420 | the passed file descriptors (testcase provided by pippijn). |
|
|
421 | |
|
|
422 | 5.13 Mon Dec 15 21:51:42 CET 2008 |
|
|
423 | - EXPERIMENTAL: implement dynamic winds (on_enter/on_leave). |
|
|
424 | - don't set diehook to C<undef> but instead to NULL, to avoid |
|
|
425 | spurious warnings. |
|
|
426 | - fix a lot of bugs in Coro::SemaphoreSet. |
|
|
427 | - Coro::SemaphoreSet will less often create a semaphore needlessly. |
|
|
428 | - add Coro::SemaphoreSet::count and wait methods. |
|
|
429 | - take advantage of the new Guard module. |
|
|
430 | - deprecate Coro::guard. |
|
|
431 | - try to fix the dreaded 01_unblock tests once more. I hate it when |
|
|
432 | testsuites need more fixing than the code they are supposed to test. |
|
|
433 | - croak in more cases when a required callback isn't resolvable. |
|
|
434 | - fix some minor issues in Coro::State->call/eval. |
|
|
435 | - use current coroutine context instead of a temporary one |
|
|
436 | when temporarily switching to another coroutine. |
|
|
437 | - do not call C-level on_destroy handlers during global destruction, |
|
|
438 | to avoid needless segfaults. |
|
|
439 | |
|
|
440 | 5.12 Sun Dec 7 13:30:38 CET 2008 |
|
|
441 | - add default config for MirOS, which seems to be a bug-to-bug |
|
|
442 | compatible fork of openbsd ("world domination by releasing |
|
|
443 | openbsd cvs before the openbsd folks do it" or so :). |
|
|
444 | - free_padlist did destroy the names pad, not good, but didn't |
|
|
445 | seem to bother perl - this could fix issues such as eval "" |
|
|
446 | inside a function called from multiple coroutines. |
|
|
447 | - use a different method to detect destruction time. |
|
|
448 | - be more careful when freeing padlists just before global |
|
|
449 | destruction. |
|
|
450 | - fixed and expanded the call/cc example. |
|
|
451 | - renamed _terminate to _coro_run. |
|
|
452 | - new method Coro::Channel->shutdown. |
|
|
453 | - try pthreads on openbsd <4.4 (broken sigaltstack, will |
|
|
454 | pthreads fare better?). |
|
|
455 | - be less picky about destroying "a" running coroutine. |
