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 1.0
9 - fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
10 a timeout occured at the same time.
11 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
12 - use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
13 - fix a path-memory-leak in readdir when using the wrappers
14 (reported by Thomas L. Shinnick).
15 - support a max_idle value of 0.
16 - support setting of idle timeout value (eio_set_idle_timeout).
17 - readdir: correctly handle malloc failures.
18 - readdir: new flags argument, can return inode
19 and possibly filetype, can sort in various ways.
20 - readdir: stop immediately when cancelled, do
21 not continue reading the directory.
22 - fix return value of eio_sendfile_sync.
23 - include sys/mman.h for msync.
24 - added EIO_STACKSIZE.
25 - added msync, mtouch support (untested).
26 - added sync_file_range (untested).
27 - fixed custom support.
28 - use a more robust feed-add detection method.
29 - "outbundled" from IO::AIO.
30 - eio_set_max_polltime did not properly convert time to ticks.
31 - tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
32 - fix freebsd/darwin sendfile.
33 - also use sendfile emulation for ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP
34 error codes.
35 - add OS-independent EIO_MT_* and EIO_MS_* flag enums.
36 - add eio_statvfs/eio_fstatvfs.
37 - add eio_mlock/eio_mlockall and OS-independent MCL_* flag enums.
38 - no longer set errno to 0 before making syscalls, this only lures
39 people into the trap of believing errno shows success or failure.
40 - "fix" demo.c so that it works as non-root.
41 - suppoert utimes seperately from futimes, as some systems have
42 utimes but not futimes.
43 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE for mlock.
44 - do not (errornously) overwrite CFLAGS in configure.ac.
45 - mknod used int3 for dev_t (ยง2 bit), not offs (64 bit).
46 - fix memory corruption in eio_readdirx for the flags
47 combination EIO_READDIR_STAT_ORDER | EIO_READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
48 - port to openbsd (another blatantly broken non-UNIX/POSIX platform).
49 - fix eio_custom prototype.
50 - work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other kernels) bug
51 where sendfile would not transfer all the requested bytes on
52 large transfers, using a heuristic.
53 - use libecb, and apply lots of minor space optimisations.
54 - disable sendfile on darwin, broken as everything else.
55 - add realpath request and implementation.
56 - cancelled requests will still invoke their request callbacks.
57 - add fallocate.
58 - do not acquire any locks when forking.
