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?

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 TODO: pthread_condattr_setclock(..., CLOCK_MONOTONIC) and clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) instead of defualt CLOCK_REALTIME timeouts
11 1.0
12 - for simple request api, initialise result/errorno to -1/ECANCELED.
13 - fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
14 a timeout occured at the same time.
15 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
16 - use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
17 - fix a path-memory-leak in readdir when using the wrappers
18 (reported by Thomas L. Shinnick).
19 - support a max_idle value of 0.
20 - support setting of idle timeout value (eio_set_idle_timeout).
21 - readdir: correctly handle malloc failures.
22 - readdir: new flags argument, can return inode
23 and possibly filetype, can sort in various ways.
24 - readdir: stop immediately when cancelled, do
25 not continue reading the directory.
26 - fix return value of eio_sendfile_sync.
27 - include sys/mman.h for msync.
28 - added EIO_STACKSIZE.
29 - added msync, mtouch support (untested).
30 - added sync_file_range (untested).
31 - fixed custom support.
32 - use a more robust feed-add detection method.
33 - "outbundled" from IO::AIO.
34 - eio_set_max_polltime did not properly convert time to ticks.
35 - tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
36 - fix freebsd/darwin sendfile.
37 - also use sendfile emulation for ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP
38 error codes.
39 - add OS-independent EIO_MT_* and EIO_MS_* flag enums.
40 - add eio_statvfs/eio_fstatvfs.
41 - add eio_mlock/eio_mlockall and OS-independent MCL_* flag enums.
42 - no longer set errno to 0 before making syscalls, this only lures
43 people into the trap of believing errno shows success or failure.
44 - "fix" demo.c so that it works as non-root.
45 - suppoert utimes seperately from futimes, as some systems have
46 utimes but not futimes.
47 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE for mlock.
48 - do not (errornously) overwrite CFLAGS in configure.ac.
49 - mknod used int3 for dev_t (ยง2 bit), not offs (64 bit).
50 - fix memory corruption in eio_readdirx for the flags
51 combination EIO_READDIR_STAT_ORDER | EIO_READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
52 - port to openbsd (another blatantly broken non-UNIX/POSIX platform).
53 - fix eio_custom prototype.
54 - work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other kernels) bug
55 where sendfile would not transfer all the requested bytes on
56 large transfers, using a heuristic.
57 - use libecb, and apply lots of minor space optimisations.
58 - disable sendfile on darwin, broken as everything else.
59 - add realpath request and implementation.
60 - cancelled requests will still invoke their request callbacks.
61 - add fallocate.
62 - do not acquire any locks when forking.
63 - incorporated some mingw32 changes by traviscline.
64 - added syncfs support, using direct syscall.
65 - set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
66 - remove useless use of volatile variables.
67 - fix memory leak when reaping threads.
68 - use utime now uses nanosecond resolution on posix 2008 systems.
69 - allow taking advantage of posix 2008 xxxat functions and fdopendir
70 by implementing a working directory abstraction.
71 - make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
72 - added EIO_LSEEK (untested).
73 - added EIO_FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
74 - wtf. etp_proc returned 0, and no compiler ever complained.
75 - remove pread/pwrite emulation, as the only system that lacked them
76 (cygwin) provides them for a while now.
77 - provide pread/pwrite implementations for win32.
78 - implement aio_realpath for windows.
79 - add EIO_FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and EIO_FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE.
80 - add EIO_FCNTL, EIO_IOCTL.
81 - try to use SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE when creating
82 symlinks on windows.
83 - support a minimum of EIO_PATH_MIN (default: 8160) as PATH_MAX (including
84 trailing 0 byte) in readlink, realpath etc.
85 - generate ENAMETOOLONG if readlink overflow is detected.
86 - implement support for renameat2, and corresponding flags.
87 - add EIO_FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE and EIO_FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
88 - use posix_close if available or needed.
89 - save errno around close in ftruncateat, fstatvfsat and EIO_CLOSE.
90 - add EIO_SLURP convenience request.
91 - update configure.ac for newer autoconf/automake.
92 - include sys/prctl.h if available.
93 - use O_NONBLOCK when opening directories and in truncateat and statvfsat.
94 - add EIO_MCL_ONFAULT.
95 - add eio_mlockall_sync.
96 - fix configure tests for readahead and sync_file_range, they were based on the
97 manpages, which turned out to be wrong.
98 - protect wd_open against fd being 0, which is used for the value of EIO_CWD.
