[bpt/guile.git] / libguile / ChangeLog

2002-12-21  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	This change makes it possible for one thread to do lazy sweeping
	while other threads are running.  Now only the mark phase need to
	have all threads asleep.  We should look further into this issue.
	Presently, I've put the locking of scm_i_sweep_mutex at
	"conservative" places due to my current lack of knowledge about
	the garbage collector.  Please feel free to restrict these regions
	further to allow for maximal parallelism!

	* gc.c, gc.h (scm_i_sweep_mutex): New mutex.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_for_newcell), gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc,
	scm_gc_register_collectable_memory): Substitute locking of
	scm_i_sweep_mutex for calls to scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep.
	(scm_igc): Lock sweep mutex here instead of in callers; Calls to
	scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep/scm_i_thread_wake_up used to demarkate
	the single-thread section (which now only contains the mark
	phase).
	(scm_gc): Don't lock sweeo mutex here since scm_igc locks it;
	Removed SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.  Simply call scm_igc directly.

	* threads.c (gc_section_mutex): Removed.

2002-12-19  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	* threads.c (create_thread): Clear parent field in root state in
	order not to unnecessarily remember dead threads.

	* eval.c (call_subr2o_1, call_lsubr2_2): New functions.
	(scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): Use them.

2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	* threads.c, threads.h (scm_yield): Added back.

2002-12-18  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	* threads.c (really_launch): Detach before unlocking
	thread_admin_mutex in order not to risk being joined.
	(scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep, scm_i_thread_wake_up): Keep
	thread_admin_mutex locked during GC.

	* pthread-threads.c, pthread-threads.h: Improvements to debugging

	scm_broadcast_condition_variable): Use the low-level API.
	(scm_all_threads): Return copy of thread list (to prevent
	unintended destruction).
	(scm_threads_prehistory): Initialize heap_mutex of fake thread.

	* pthread-threads.c, pthread-threads.h, threads.c: Fixes to
	pthread "native" recursive mutex support.

2002-12-15  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	* __scm.h (SCM_DEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): New definitions.
	Simply lock a thread C API recursive mutex.
	(SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
	SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
	SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): Removed.

	* eval.c: Replaced SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END with
	direct calls to scm_rec_mutex_lock / unlock around the three calls
	to scm_m_expand_body.

	* eval.c, eval.h (promise_free): New function.
	(scm_force): Rewritten;  Now thread-safe; Removed
	SCM_DEFER/ALLOW_INTS.

	committed by mistake.

2002-12-11  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	* gc-malloc.c, gc.h, init.c: Reverted gc-malloc change of
	2002-12-10.

	* gc.c (scm_igc): Don't call scm_i_thread_invalidate_freelists.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_sweep): Call it here instead, which is a more
	logical place.

	* threads.c (create_thread): Remember root object until the handle
	of the new thread is on all_threads list.

	* root.c (scm_make_root): Moved copying of fluids until after

	* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_gc_malloc_prehistory.

	* threads.c (really_launch): Release heap (to prevent deadlock).
	(create_thread): Release heap before locking thread admin mutex.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	function.

	* gc.c (scm_igc): Call scm_i_thread_invalidate_freelists.

	* modules.c (scm_export): Inserted a return statement.

2002-12-10  Han-Wen Nienhuys  <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

	* modules.c (scm_export): new function

	* gc-card.c: add a note about malloc()/free() overhead.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@kvast.blakulla.net>

	* Makefile.am (c-tokenize.$(OBJEXT)): Don't look for c-tokenize.c
	in srcdir.

2002-12-10  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	These changes remove scm_ints_disabled (which hasn't has any
	effect in Guile for quite some time).
	
	* async.c, error.h (scm_ints_disabled): Removed.

	* gc.c (scm_gc_for_newcell), init.c (scm_init_guile_1),
	root.c (scm_internal_cwdr), gdbint.c (SCM_BEGIN_FOREIGN_BLOCK,
	SCM_END_FOREIGN_BLOCK): Don't touch scm_ints_disabled.
	(old_ints): Removed.

	* __scm.h (SCM_DEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): Define as a recursive
	critical section.
	(SCM_REDEFER_INTS, SCM_ALLOW_INTS): Define as SCM_DEFER_INTS and
	SCM_ALLOW_INTS.

2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	* threads.c (scm_mutex_lock, scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait):
	Removed accidental #if 0 around these functions.

	These changes are the start of support for preemptive
	multithreading.  Marius and I have agreed that I commit this code
	into the repository although it isn't thoroughly tested and surely
	introduces many bugs.  The bugs should only be exposed when using
	threads, though.  Signalling and error handling for threads is
	very likely broken.  Work on making the implementation cleaner and
	more efficient is needed.
	
	* __scm.h (SCM_ALLOW_INTS_ONLY): Removed.
	(SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
	SCM_NONREC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END, SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_START,
	SCM_REC_CRITICAL_SECTION_END): New macros.
	(SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START/END): Defined here.

	* eval.c: Insert SOURCE_SECTION_START / SOURCE_SECTION_END around
	the three calls to scm_m_expand_body.

	* gc.h: #include "libguile/pthread-threads.h";
	(SCM_FREELIST_CREATE, SCM_FREELIST_LOC): New macros.

	* gc.c (scm_i_freelist, scm_i_freelist2): Defined to be of type
	scm_t_key;

	* gc.c, gc-freelist.c, inline.h: Use SCM_FREELIST_LOC for freelist
	access.

	* gc-freelist.c (scm_gc_init_freelist): Create freelist keys.

	* gc-freelist.c, threads.c (really_launch): Use
	SCM_FREELIST_CREATE.

	* gc-malloc.c (scm_realloc, scm_gc_register_collectable_memory):

	* gc.c (scm_i_expensive_validation_check, scm_gc,
	scm_gc_for_newcell): Put threads to sleep before doing GC-related
	heap administration so that those pieces of code are executed
	single-threaded.  We might consider rewriting these code sections
	in terms of a "call_gc_code_singly_threaded" construct instead of
	calling the pair of scm_i_thread_put_to_sleep () and
	scm_i_thread_wake_up ().  Also, we would want to have as many of
	these sections eleminated.

	* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_threads_prehistory.

	* inline.h: #include "libguile/threads.h"

	* pthread-threads.h: Macros now conform more closely to the
	pthreads interface.  Some of them now take a second argument.

	* threads.c, threads.h: Many changes.

2002-12-09  Mikael Djurfeldt  <djurfeldt@nada.kth.se>

	* Makefile.am (version.h): Changed $^ --> $< in rule for
	version.h.
	
2002-12-08  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

	* version.h.in (SCM_MICRO_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
	(SCM_MINOR_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
	(SCM_MICRO_VERSION): use @--@ substitution now.
	(scm_effective_version): new function prototype.

	* version.c (scm_effective_version): new function, also add
	effective-version.

	* Makefile.am (schemelibdir): VERSION -> GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION.
	(libpath.h): use GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION to compute
	SCM_LIBRARY_DIR.
	(version.h): generate this here rather than configure.in.  This
	approach tracks source edits better (i.e. more immediately).
	Might be worth considering for other .in files too.

2002-12-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	Reorganized thread package selection.  A thread package now only
	implements a small set of pthread like functions and Guile
	implements the rest on top of that.  Guile's implementation is
	what the "coop-pthreads" package has been previously.  Support for
	"coop" threads has been removed until I get time to add it again.
	
	* Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Removed iselect.c.
	(noinst_HEADERS): Removed coop-threads.c, coop-threads.h, coop.c,
	null-threads.c, coop-pthreads.c.
	(modinclude_HEADERS): Removed coop-defs.h, coop-pthreads.h.  Added
	pthread-threads.h.
	
	* validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD): Moved to threads.h.

	* threads.h: Do not include "libguile/coop-defs.h".  Include
	"libguile/pthread-threads.h" for USE_COPT_THREADS.  Removed
	(previously deprecated) C level thread API prototypes.  They are
	now in the thread package specific headers, "null-threads.h" and
	"pthread-threads.h".
	(SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD, SCM_VALIDATE_MUTEX, SCM_VALIDATE_CONDVAR):
	New.
	(scm_threads_init): Removed.
	(SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_START, SCM_CRITICAL_SECTION_END,
	SCM_THREAD_SWITCHING_CODE, scm_i_switch_counter,
	SCM_I_THREAD_SWITCH_COUNT): Define here.
	(scm_single_thread_p): Removed.
	(scm_call_with_new_thread): Take two args directly instead of list
	of two args.
	(scm_i_thread_data, scm_i_set_thread_data, SCM_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA,
	SCM_SET_THREAD_LOCAL_DATA): Define here.

	* threads.c: Merged with "coop-pthreads.c".

	* null-threads.h: Implement pthread-like API as a set of macros.

	* pthread-threads.h: New, implement pthread-like API by deferring
	to pthread itself.
	
	* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Do not call scm_init_iselect, which
	has been lost in the reorganization.

2002-12-01  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	The following change makes it possible to move procedure
	application dispatch outside inner loops.  The motivation was
	clean implementation of efficient replacements of R5RS primitives
	in SRFI-1.

	The semantics is clear: scm_trampoline_N returns an optimized
	version of scm_call_N (or NULL if the procedure isn't applicable
	on N args).

	Applying the optimization to map and for-each increases efficiency
	noticeably.  For example, (map abs ls) is 8 times faster than
	before.

	* eval.h (scm_t_trampoline_1, scm_t_trampoline_2): New types.

	* eval.c, eval.h (scm_trampoline_1, scm_trampoline_2): New functions.

	* eval.c (call_subr2_2, call_lsubr_2, call_closure_2): New functions;
	(map, for-each): Handle also application on two args as a special
	case; Use trampolines.

	Other changes:
	
	* sort.c (scm_cmp_function): Choose subr2less for scm_tc7_subr_2o;
	(subr2oless): Removed.
	(scm_restricted_vector_sort_x): Use scm_return_first to keep the
	vector GC protected.

	* eval.c (check_map_args): Use scm_out_of_range_pos instead of
	scm_out_of_range.

2002-11-24  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* evalext.[ch] (scm_m_undefine, undefine):  Deprecated.

2002-11-17  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* debug.c (scm_make_iloc): Added missing "return".

2002-11-17  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* strports.c (scm_eval_string_in_module): Validate second arg to
	be a module.  Thanks to Arno Peters!

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* modules.c (scm_env_top_level, scm_lookup_closure_module,
	module_variable, scm_module_lookup_closure,
	scm_module_transformer, scm_sym2var, scm_module_reverse_lookup,
	scm_system_module_env_p):  Don't compare SCM values with C
	operators == or !=.  Avoid SCM_IMP predicates.  Prefer !SCM_FALSEP
	over SCM_NFALSEP.

2002-11-16  Dirk Herrmann  <D.Herrmann@tu-bs.de>

	* eval.h (SCM_MAKE_ILOC):  New macro.

	* debug.c (scm_make_iloc):  Use SCM_MAKE_ILOC instead of computing
	the iloc bitpattern here.

2002-11-14  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: scm_internal_select should be
	part of the API, otherwise it's difficult to write Guile
	extensions using non-blocking I/O => moved #include
	"libguile/iselect.h" from coop-pthreads.c --> coop-pthreads.h.

	* coop-pthreads.c (scm_unlock_mutex): Changed s_lock_mutex -->
	s_unlock_mutex.

2002-11-10  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* __scm.h (USE_THREADS, GUILE_ISELECT): Do not define here.  They
	are defined in configure.in.

	* threads.c: Removed SCM_API from function definitions.  SCM_API
	is only for declarations.

2002-11-07  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@linnaeus>

	* coop-pthreads.h: Added support for thread specific data to the
	generic C API for the coop-pthreads case.

	* threads.c, threads.h (scm_cond_init): Undo unintentional API
	change.
	(scm_cond_broadcast): Added missing function.

2002-11-04  Marius Vollmer  <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>

	* coop.c (coop_next_runnable_thread): Removed, wich should have
	happened when GUILE_ISELECT was hard-wired.

2002-11-03  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* Makefile.am (libguile_la_SOURCES): Added threads.c
	(DOT_DOC_FILES): Added threads.doc.
	(DOT_X_FILES): Added threads.x.
	(EXTRA_libguile_la_SOURCES): Removed threads.c.
	(noinst_HEADERS): Added coop-pthreads.c.
	(modinclude_HEADERS): Added coop-pthreads.h.

	* __scm.h (USE_THREADS, GUILE_ISELECT): Define when
	SCM_DEBUG_DEPRECATED.  Removed their use thru-out Guile.

	* iselect.c: Include "_scm.h" before testing HAVE_UNISTD_H.
	Thanks to Bill Schottstaedt!

	* numbers.c (scm_integer_expt): Make 0^z == 0 for z != 0.

	* _scm.h (HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Do define even when
	SCM_COPT_THREADS is defined.
	(SCM_SYSCALL): Use EINTR-expection version when SCM_COPT_THREADS
	is defined.
	
	* coop-pthreads.c: Some harmless renamings of internal stuff.
	(create_thread): New, generalized version of
	scm_call_with_new_thread.
	(scm_call_with_new_thread): Use it.
	(scm_spawn_thread): New, use create_thread.
	
2002-11-02  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* coop-pthreads.c, coop-pthreads.h: Redone completely, you might
	start testing it now.

	* _scm.h: Include <errno.h< so that SCM_SYSCALL is correctly
	defined when HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is not defined.
	(HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Do not define when USE_COPT_THREADS
	is defined.

2002-10-27  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>

	* scmsigs.c (signal_cell_handlers, install_handler_data,
	scm_delq_spine_x, really_install_handler, install_handler): New
	scheme for triggering signal handlers, to simplify take_signal.
	(take_signal): Simplified, to avoid race conditions.
	(scm_sigaction_for_thread): Use new Scheme.  Validate that thread
	hasn't exited yet.
	
	* async.c (scm_async_click): Reset pending_asyncs, handle
	signal_asyncs.  Don't set cdr of a non-signal async to #f.
	(scm_i_queue_async_cell): Do not check cdr of cell for #f, queue
	always.  Set pending_asyncs.
	(scm_system_async_mark_for_thread): Check that thread has not
	exited.
	(scm_unmask_signals, decrease_block): Call scm_async_click after
	block_asyncs becomes zero.
	
	* __scm.h (SCM_ASYNC_CLICK): Check pending_asyncs instead of
	active_asyncs.

	* root.h (scm_root_state): Added pending_asyncs and signal_asyncs
	fields.
	* root.c (root_mark): Mark them.
	(make_root): Initialize them.
	
	* iselect.c, iselect.h: Replaced GUILE_ISELECT with
	USE_COOP_THREADS.
	(scm_internal_select): Define one version for USE_COOP_THREADS and
	one for USE_NULL_THREADS.
	(scm_init_iselect): Likewise.
	
        * inline.h (scm_cell, scm_double_cell): Also allow
	USE_COPT_THREADS to not protect the slot initializers.
	
	* init.c (scm_init_guile_1): Call scm_init_thread_procs.  This is
	because threads need to be initialized before the stack, but
	gsubrs such as scm_timed_condition_variable_wait can only be
	created later.

	* threads.h: Include "coop-pthreads.h" when requested.
	(scm_threads_make_mutex, scm_threads_lock_mutex,
	scm_threads_unlock_mutex, scm_threads_monitor): Removed, they were
	not implemented anyway.
	(scm_init_thread_procs, scm_try_mutex,

	registered procedures.
	(scm_wait_condition_variable, scm_timed_wait_condition_variable):
	Use the latter as the procedure for "wait-condition-variable",
	thus offering a optional timeout parameter to Scheme.
	(scm_wait_condition_variable): Implement in terms of
	scm_timed_wait_condition_variable.
	(scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_trylock,
	scm_mutex_unlock, scm_mutex_destroy, scm_cond_init,
	scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait, scm_cond_signal,
	scm_cond_broadcast, scm_cond_destroy): Implement in terms of
	scm_make_mutex, etc, and deprecate.
	(scm_init_threads): Do not create smobs, leave this to
	scm_threads_init.  Do not include "threads.x" file.
	(scm_init_thread_procs): New, include "threads.x" here.

	* null-threads.h (scm_null_mutex, scm_null_mutex_init,
	scm_null_mutex_lock, scm_null_mutex_unlock,
	scm_null_mutex_destroy, scm_null_condvar, scm_null_condvar_init,
	scm_null_condvar_wait, scm_null_condvar_signal,
	scm_null_condvar_destroy): Removed.
	(scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_unlock, scm_cond_init,
	scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_signal, scm_cond_broadcast,
	scm_cond_destory): Do not define, they are now deprecated and
	handled by threads.{h,c}.
	
	* null-threads.c (scm_null_mutex, scm_null_cond): Define here.
	(scm_threads_init): Create smobs here, using the appropriate
	sizes.
	(block): Removed, now unused.
	(scm_c_thread_exited_p): New.
	(scm_null_mutex_init, scm_null_mutex_lock, scm_null_mutex_unlock,
	scm_null_mutex_destroy, scm_null_condvar_init,
	scm_null_condvar_wait, scm_null_condvar_signal,
	scm_null_condvar_destroy): Removed and updated users to do their
	task directly.
	(scm_try_mutex, timeval_subtract,
	scm_timed_wait_condition_variable,
	scm_broadcast_condition_variable): New.
	(scm_wait_condition_variable): Removed.

	* coop-defs.h (coop_m): Added 'level' field.
	(scm_t_mutex, scm_mutex_init, scm_mutex_lock, scm_mutex_trylock,
	scm_mutex_unlock, scm_mutex_destroy, scm_t_cond, scm_cond_init,
	scm_cond_wait, scm_cond_timedwait, scm_cond_signal,
	scm_cond_broadcast, scm_cond_destroy, struct timespec): Do not
	define.
	(coop_condition_variable_broadcast): New.

	* coop-threads.c (scm_threads_init): Create smobs here, using the
	appropriate sizes.
	(scm_c_thread_exited_p, scm_try_mutex,
	scm_timed_wait_condition_variable,
	scm_broadcast_condition_variable): New.
	(scm_wait_condition_variable): Removed.

	* coop.c (coop_new_mutex_init): Initialize level.
	(coop_mutex_trylock, coop_mutex_lock, coop_mutex_unlock): maintain
