changelog

POSIX Multithraed library for windows

	optimiser to retain code; reduce thread work loads.

	* condvar8.c (main): Add an additional "assert" for debugging;
	increase pthread_cond_signal timeout.

2000-12-28  Ross Johnson  <[e-mail]>

	* eyal1.c: Increase thread work loads.
	* exception2.c: New test.
	* exception3.c: New test.
	* Makefile: Add new tests exception2.c and exception3.c.
	* GNUmakefile: Likewise.

2000-12-11  Ross Johnson  <[e-mail]>

	* cleanup3.c: Remove unused variable.
	* cleanup2.c: Likewise.
	* exception1.c: Throw an exception rather than use
	a deliberate zero divide so that catch(...) will
	handle it under Mingw32. Mingw32 now builds the
	library correctly to pass all tests - see Thomas
	Pfaff's detailed instructions re needed changes
	to Mingw32 in the Pthreads-Win32 FAQ.

2000-09-08  Ross Johnson  <[e-mail]>

	* cancel5.c: New; tests calling pthread_cancel()
	from the main thread without first creating a
	POSIX thread struct for the non-POSIX main thread
	- this forces pthread_cancel() to create one via
	pthread_self().
	* Makefile (cancel5): Add new test.
	* GNUmakefile (cancel5): Likewise.

2000-08-17  Ross Johnson  <[e-mail]>

	* create2.c: New; Test that pthread_t contains
	the W32 HANDLE before it calls the thread routine
	proper.

2000-08-13  Ross Johnson  <[e-mail]>

	* condvar3.c: Minor change to eliminate compiler
	warning.

	* condvar4.c: ditto.

	* condvar5.c: ditto.

	* condvar6.c: ditto.

	* condvar7.c: ditto.

	* condvar8.c: ditto.

	* exit1.c: Function needed return statement.

	* cleanup1.c: Remove unnecessary printf arg.

	* cleanup2.c: Fix cast.

	* rwlock6.c: Fix casts.

	* exception1.c (PtW32CatchAll): Had the wrong name;
	fix casts.

	* cancel3.c: Remove unused waitLock variable.

	* GNUmakefile: Change library/dll naming; add new tests;
	general minor changes.

	* Makefile: Change library/dll naming; add targets for
	testing each of the two VC++ EH scheme versions;
	default target now issues help message; compile warnings
	now interpreted as errors to stop the make; add new
	tests; restructure to remove prerequisites needed
	otherwise.

	* README: Updated.
