Revision history for IO::AIO
1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
- verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
- use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
the external filename encoding first.
- fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
- clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
- fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
- only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
- new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
- force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
error catching.
1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
- added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
(imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
feedback yet).
- emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
- ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
from Linux::AIO.
- removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
- try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
- cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
the fd to an fh.
- convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
properly encode your pathnames.
1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
- aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
- all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
- disable warnings in AIO.pm.
0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
- allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
- fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
- use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
from Linux::AIO.
(found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but
does not implement pread/pwrite).
- only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux.
0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
- removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't
need it anyway.
- link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync,
and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt.
0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
- added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
- make callback argument optional for all calls.
0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
- restructured manpage.
- added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk.
- remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain
it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :).
0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005
- return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
- get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
communications for most requests and responses.
0.1
- cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar.
