3 TODO: maybe add mincore support? available on at least darwin, solaris, linux, freebsd
4 TODO: openbsd requires stdint.h for intptr_t - why posix?
5
6 TODO: make mtouch/readdir maybe others cancellable in-request
7 TODO: fadvise request
8 TODO: fdopendir/utimensat
9 TODO: maybe work around 3.996gb barrier in pread/pwrite as well, maybe readahead etc.?
10 1.0
11 - for simple request api, initialise result/errorno to -1/ECANCELED.
12 - fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
13 a timeout occured at the same time.
14 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
15 - use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
16 - fix a path-memory-leak in readdir when using the wrappers
17 (reported by Thomas L. Shinnick).
18 - support a max_idle value of 0.
19 - support setting of idle timeout value (eio_set_idle_timeout).
20 - readdir: correctly handle malloc failures.
21 - readdir: new flags argument, can return inode
22 and possibly filetype, can sort in various ways.
23 - readdir: stop immediately when cancelled, do
24 not continue reading the directory.
25 - fix return value of eio_sendfile_sync.
26 - include sys/mman.h for msync.
27 - added EIO_STACKSIZE.
28 - added msync, mtouch support (untested).
29 - added sync_file_range (untested).
30 - fixed custom support.
31 - use a more robust feed-add detection method.
32 - "outbundled" from IO::AIO.
33 - eio_set_max_polltime did not properly convert time to ticks.
34 - tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
35 - fix freebsd/darwin sendfile.
36 - also use sendfile emulation for ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP
37 error codes.
38 - add OS-independent EIO_MT_* and EIO_MS_* flag enums.
39 - add eio_statvfs/eio_fstatvfs.
40 - add eio_mlock/eio_mlockall and OS-independent MCL_* flag enums.
41 - no longer set errno to 0 before making syscalls, this only lures
42 people into the trap of believing errno shows success or failure.
43 - "fix" demo.c so that it works as non-root.
44 - suppoert utimes seperately from futimes, as some systems have
45 utimes but not futimes.
46 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE for mlock.
47 - do not (errornously) overwrite CFLAGS in configure.ac.
48 - mknod used int3 for dev_t (ยง2 bit), not offs (64 bit).
49 - fix memory corruption in eio_readdirx for the flags
50 combination EIO_READDIR_STAT_ORDER | EIO_READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
51 - port to openbsd (another blatantly broken non-UNIX/POSIX platform).
52 - fix eio_custom prototype.
53 - work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other kernels) bug
54 where sendfile would not transfer all the requested bytes on
55 large transfers, using a heuristic.
56 - use libecb, and apply lots of minor space optimisations.
57 - disable sendfile on darwin, broken as everything else.
58 - add realpath request and implementation.
59 - cancelled requests will still invoke their request callbacks.
60 - add fallocate.
61 - do not acquire any locks when forking.
62 - incorporated some mingw32 changes by traviscline.
63 - added syncfs support, using direct syscall.
64 - set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
65 - remove useless use of volatile variables.
66 - fix memory leak when reaping threads.
67 - use utime now uses nanosecond resolution on posix 2008 systems.
68 - allow taking advantage of posix 2008 xxxat functions and fdopendir
69 by implementing a working directory abstraction.
70 - make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
71 - added EIO_LSEEK (untested).
72 - added EIO_FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
73 - wtf. etp_proc returned 0, and no compiler ever complained.
74 - remove pread/pwrite emulation, as the only system that lacked them
75 (cygwin) provides them for a while now.
76 - provide pread/pwrite implementations for win32.
77 - implement aio_realpath for windows.
