-0.7.9 - new cancellation, bug fixes, compatibility, optimization, cleanup
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-major changes to pthread cancellation handling which simplify and
|
|
|
-reduce code size while ensuring no resource leaks or dangerous
|
|
|
-behavior with signals.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-better code factorization for smaller static binary sizes, especially
|
|
|
-in the presence of library code that is thread-aware but never
|
|
|
-actually creates any threads.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-optimizations for size and performance in many syscall wrappers and
|
|
|
-pthread functions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-fixed fcntl locking on x86_64.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-fixed syslog implementation to work correctly with busybox syslogd and
|
|
|
-presumably all other syslogd implementations using /dev/log.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-fixed major problems, including wrong public struct definitions, in
|
|
|
-sysvipc interfaces.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-improved timers with thread delivery to avoid some issues with reusing
|
|
|
-the same thread for all expirations.

+0.7.9 release notes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+new pthread cancellation implementation:
|
|
|
+- safe against resource-leak/side-effect-leak race conditions
|
|
|
+- safe against interruption by signal handlers
|
|
|
+- reduced bloat in all cancellable functions
|
|
|
+- reduced bloat for blocking cancellation
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+new interfaces implemented:
|
|
|
+- realpath (limited functionality)
|
|
|
+- wordexp (limited functionality)
|
|
|
+- flock (nonstandard)
|
|
|
+- forkpty (nonstandard)
|
|
|
+- posix_fadvise
|
|
|
+- posix_fallocate
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+general bug fixes:
|
|
|
+- syslog function failure to communicate with syslogd
|
|
|
+- bug in siginfo_t definition if wait.h was included before signal.h
|
|
|
+- incorrect struct definitions for most of sysv ipc
|
|
|
+- pthread_exit/cancel on timer handler wrongly destroying the timer
|
|
|
+- linux dup2 ebusy workaround
|
|
|
+- obscure issues in non-threaded programs using some pthread functions
|
|
|
+- getopt_long allowed mismatch in last char of option name
|
|
|
+- incorrect parsing of obscure ip address forms
|
|
|
+- initgroups not working reliably (uninitialized var)
|
|
|
+- shadow pass treating empty expiry field as pass-expired-in-1970
|
|
|
+- bogus longjmp if pthread_exit was called from cancellation handlers
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+x86_64-specific bug fixes:
|
|
|
+- fcntl file locking
|
|
|
+- thread stack alignment
|
|
|
+- broken select timeouts due to incorrect timeval definition
