Revision history for perl module BDB.
TODO: DB_RECNUM/DB_SET_RECNO?
1.89 Fri Jul 29 11:29:21 CEST 2011
- make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but
do not add any new symbols or functionality.
1.88 Wed Mar 31 02:43:42 CEST 2010
- a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
- suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
affects IO::AIO and BDB.
1.87 Tue Dec 22 03:06:09 CET 2009
- db 4.8 has removed XA resource manager functionality,
cope with it.
- add LOGVERSION, LOGVERSION_LATCHING, LOGOLDVER
symbols.
1.86 Fri Dec 4 16:03:21 CET 2009
- port to broken loser platform.
1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
- speed up object creation/type checking considerably
by caching the stashes.
1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
- require common sense.
- use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
- fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
- fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
- use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
in getpeer/sockname.
1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
- check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
/very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
have spurious utf-8 flags.
- fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
- allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
crash-free tomorrow!
- fix a memleak in db_key_range.
- started a common pitfdalls section.
- added db_env_log_archive.
- added db->set_pagesize.
- added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
- reworked documentation structure.
1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
- removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
erronously.
- "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
- non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
processing of other, event-based, requests.
- functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
is passed to them.
- db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
- db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
- keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
- fixed a few minor stack issues.
1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
- add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
- untested support for db4.3.
- berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
then what the default xthread.h provides.
1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
- use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
requests (see manpage).
- optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
- use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
- fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
- add a basic testsuite.
- add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
- make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
- add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
- work around broken bsd headers once more.
- support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
- add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
- add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
- port to solaris perls configured for old posix
(analysed by Jost Krieger).
- do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
- support AnyEvent::BDB.
1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
- work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
(this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
- encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
or binary (everywhere else).
- patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
(utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
- fix prototypes of (void) functions.
1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
- differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
- do not automatically call set_thread_count.
1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
- add cursor->set_priority.
- minor optimisations and checks.
- port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
- new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
- add db_upgrade.
- do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
operations.
1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
- db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
- de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
- port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
- added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
- after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
- added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
- flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
programming (see db_txn_finish).
- new custom db_txn_finish request.
- improved docs.
1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
- some updates for db 4.6.
- vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
- this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
- port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
- added bdb error constants.
- add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
- shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
- upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
- port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
db_sequence_get...).
0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
- cloned from IO::AIO.
