Revision history for Perl extension POSIX::RT::Semaphore.
ER := Eric Rybski <rybskej#yahoo_com>
0.03 Sat Aug 5 13:14:20 2006
- version 0.03
- Anonymous sems allocated in anon, shared memory if possible
(MAP_SHARED or mmap /dev/zero).
- Semaphore.xs: allow sem_timedwait under __CYGWIN__ (thx ER).
newCONSTSUB implementation of exportables, conditionally including
SEM_NAME_LEN (Darwin) and SEM_NAME_MAX (Tru64, others).
- Semaphore.pm: dynamically build @EXPORT_OK. POD documents constants,
attempted anon shared allocation of unnamed sems.
- t/: use_const.t modified to drop "no_macro" croak check. fork-inherit
tests for both named and unnamed sems. 01util.t modified to sidestep
older Test::More installations. ctors.t works around cygwin
implementation.
0.02 Thu Jul 19 00:45:52 2006
- version 0.2
- restructure named and unnamed psems as classes with a common virtual
ancestor class. Calling the "wrong" deallocator (e.g.,
$named_sem->destroy) still croaks, but now b/c the requested method is
not found, rather than as a safety precaution.
- getvalue() returns undef on failure
- SIZEOF_SEM_T (undocumented)
- Semaphore.xs: check _POSIX_TIMEOUTS for timedwait() and __CYGWIN__
for unlink() (thx ER). General legibility improvements.
- Semaphore.pm: POD cleanup
- t/: corrected *cough* boolean inversion in tests (thx ER).
Substantially expanded test suite.
