| 1 | Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes.
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | 1.86 [2005-12-17]
|
|---|
| 4 | - HiRes.t:s/ok 32/ok 33/, from Dominic Dunlop
|
|---|
| 5 | - tighten up the clock() test marginally by requiring non-negative
|
|---|
| 6 | - clock_nanosleep() and clock() doc tweaks
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | 1.85 [2005-12-16]
|
|---|
| 9 | - the interface to clock_nanosleep() is more natural
|
|---|
| 10 | when it is like (hires) time() (instead of like nanosleep),
|
|---|
| 11 | and the .xs implementation of clock_nanosleep() in 1.84
|
|---|
| 12 | was broken anyway
|
|---|
| 13 | - the semantics of clock() are not quite so silly as I thought,
|
|---|
| 14 | but still somewhat odd, documented as such
|
|---|
| 15 | - additional enhancements to the clock() documentation
|
|---|
| 16 | - add test for clock_nanosleep() (I cannot test this
|
|---|
| 17 | since none of my systems have the function)
|
|---|
| 18 | - add test for clock()
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | 1.84 [2005-12-16]
|
|---|
| 21 | - add clock() which returns the processor time in
|
|---|
| 22 | (floating point) seconds since an arbitrary era
|
|---|
| 23 | - add clock_nanosleep() which suspends the current
|
|---|
| 24 | thread until either absolute time or for relative time
|
|---|
| 25 | - [rt.cpan.org #16486] printf missing value in HiRes.t
|
|---|
| 26 | - add constants CLOCKS_PER_SEC, CLOCK_SOFTTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME
|
|---|
| 27 | - tiny typo fixes
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | 1.83 [2005-11-19]
|
|---|
| 30 | - has_symbol() was wrong since e.g. ITIMER_VIRTUAL is exported
|
|---|
| 31 | via @EXPORT_OK even when it is not available. This is heinous.
|
|---|
| 32 | @EXPORT_OK should be determined at Makefile.PL time.
|
|---|
| 33 | - be more lenient is testing clock_gettime(): allow more slop,
|
|---|
| 34 | and retry up to three times, sleeping a random nap between
|
|---|
| 35 | the retries
|
|---|
| 36 | - human months are one-based (noticed by Anton Berezin)
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | 1.82 [2005-10-06]
|
|---|
| 39 | - CLOCK_REALTIME is an enum value (of the clockid_t enum)
|
|---|
| 40 | in HP-UX (and might be so elsewhere, too), debugged by
|
|---|
| 41 | H. Merijn Brand
|
|---|
| 42 | - include const-c.inc as late as possible (from Randy Kobes,
|
|---|
| 43 | [rt.cpan.org #15552] to avoid undefined usleep() on Win32
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | 1.81 [2005-11-05]
|
|---|
| 46 | - try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of
|
|---|
| 47 | CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper
|
|---|
| 48 | way is
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | sub has_symbol {
|
|---|
| 51 | my $symbol = shift;
|
|---|
| 52 | eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)';
|
|---|
| 53 | return 0 unless $@ eq '';
|
|---|
| 54 | return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"};
|
|---|
| 55 | }
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | and then use
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | &FOO_BAR
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | in the test. All these moves are needed because
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | 1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR'
|
|---|
| 64 | because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero
|
|---|
| 65 | (or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | 2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform,
|
|---|
| 68 | &FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | - wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test
|
|---|
| 71 | but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
|
|---|
| 72 | - fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
|
|---|
| 73 | - at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | 1.80 [2005-11-04]
|
|---|
| 76 | - Gisle noticed a mistake (using HAS_NANOSLEEP) in 1.79
|
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|
| 78 | 1.79 [2005-11-03]
|
|---|
| 79 | - try nanosleep for emulating usleep -- may help in some weird
|
|---|
| 80 | embedded realtime places which have nanosleep but neither usleep
|
|---|
| 81 | nor select nor poll (doesn't have to be weird embedded realtime
|
|---|
| 82 | place, though -- in many places usleep is nanosleep anyway)
|
|---|
| 83 | - try poll for emulating usleep -- this may help some obscure/old
|
|---|
| 84 | SVR4 places that have neither usleep nor select
|
|---|
| 85 | - a redundant test guard in HiRes.t
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | 1.78 [2005-11-03]
|
|---|
| 88 | - ITIMER_VIRTUAL detection in HiRes.t had problems (that we cannot
|
|---|
| 89 | in the general case fail already at 'use' phase is suboptimal)
|
|---|
| 90 | - fixes to the documentation of clock_gettime() and clock_getres()
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | 1.77 [2005-11-03]
|
|---|
| 93 | - add support for the POSIX clock_gettime() and clock_getres(),
|
|---|
| 94 | if available, either as library calls or as syscalls
|
|---|
| 95 | - be more defensive about missing functionality: break out
|
|---|
| 96 | early (during 'use') if no e.g. clock_getres() is available,
|
|---|
| 97 | and protect our back by trapping those cases also in HiRes.xs
|
|---|
| 98 | - the test added in 1.76 could cause an endless loop e.g. in Solaris,
|
|---|
| 99 | due to mixing of sleep() and alarm() (bad programmer, no cookie!)
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | 1.76 [2005-10-22]
|
|---|
| 102 | - testing for nanosleep had wrong logic which caused nanosleep
|
|---|
| 103 | to become undefined for e.g. Mac OS X
|
|---|
| 104 | - added a test for a core dump that was introduced by Perl 5.8.0
|
|---|
| 105 | safe signals and was fixed for the time of 5.8.1 (one report of
|
|---|
| 106 | the core dump was [perl #20920]), the test skipped pre-5.8.1.
|
|---|
| 107 | - *cough* s/unanosleep/nanosleep/g; *cough*
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | 1.75 [2005-10-18]
|
|---|
| 110 | - installation patch from Gisle Aas: in Perls 5.8.x and later
|
|---|
| 111 | use MakeMaker INSTALLDIRS value of 'perl' instead of 'site'.
|
|---|
| 112 |
|
|---|
| 113 | 1.74 [2005-09-19]
|
|---|
| 114 | - [cpan #14608] Solaris 8 perl 5.005_03 File::Spec module does not have method rel2abs
|
|---|
| 115 | (the workaround is not to use rel2abs, should not be necessary)
|
|---|
| 116 | - [cpan #14642] U2time wrongly exported on the C API
|
|---|
| 117 | (patch supplied by the reporter, [email protected])
|
|---|
| 118 | - add release dates to Changes
|
|---|
| 119 |
|
|---|
| 120 | 1.73 [2005-08-16]
|
|---|
| 121 | - Time::HiRes::nanosleep support for Solaris [PATCH]
|
|---|
| 122 | (POSIX::uname() not available if building with core perl,
|
|---|
| 123 | from Gisle Aas, via perl5-porters, perl change #25295)
|
|---|
| 124 |
|
|---|
| 125 | 1.72 [2005-07-01]
|
|---|
| 126 | - going back to the 1.68 loader setup (using DynaLoader)
|
|---|
| 127 | since too many weird things starting breaking
|
|---|
| 128 | - fix a typo in José Auguste-Etienne's name
|
|---|
| 129 |
|
|---|
| 130 | 1.71 [2005-06-28]
|
|---|
| 131 | - a thinko in the nanosleep() detection
|
|---|
| 132 | - move more changes stuff from the README to Changes
|
|---|
| 133 | - add -w to the Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | 1.70 [2005-06-26]
|
|---|
| 136 | - oops in 1.69 about @ISA (not affecting anything but silly)
|
|---|
| 137 | - add copyright 2005 to HiRes.pm
|
|---|
| 138 | - add copyright and license to HiRes.xs
|
|---|
| 139 | - add copyrights 2003, 2004, 2005 to README
|
|---|
| 140 |
|
|---|
| 141 | 1.69 [2005-06-25]
|
|---|
| 142 | - actually run a test for nanosleep
|
|---|
| 143 | (if there is no $Config{d_nanosleep}) since e.g. in AIX 4.2
|
|---|
| 144 | it seems that one can link in nanosleep() but then calling
|
|---|
| 145 | it fails instantly and sets errno to ENOSYS (Not implemented).
|
|---|
| 146 | This may be fixable in the AIX case by figuring out the right
|
|---|
| 147 | (realtime POSIX?) libs and whatnot, but in the general case
|
|---|
| 148 | running a real test case is better. (Of course, this change
|
|---|
| 149 | will no doubt run into portability problems because of the
|
|---|
| 150 | execution step...) Note that because of hysterical raisins
|
|---|
| 151 | most Perls do NOT have $Config{d_nanosleep} (scanning for
|
|---|
| 152 | it by Configure would in many platforms require linking in
|
|---|
| 153 | things like -lrt, which would in many platforms be a bad idea
|
|---|
| 154 | for Perl itself).
|
|---|
| 155 | (from José Auguste-Etienne)
|
|---|
| 156 | - support XSLoader also since it's much faster
|
|---|
| 157 | (from Alexey Tourbin)
|
|---|
| 158 | - add SEE ALSO (BSD::Resource and Time::TAI64)
|
|---|
| 159 |
|
|---|
| 160 | 1.68 [2005-05-14]
|
|---|
| 161 | - somehow 1.67 had a lot of doubled lines (a major cut-and-paste
|
|---|
| 162 | error suspected), but miraculously it still worked since the
|
|---|
| 163 | doubling took place below the __END__ token
|
|---|
| 164 | - undef Pause() before defining it to avoid redefinition warnings
|
|---|
| 165 | during compilation in case perl.h had already defined Pause()
|
|---|
| 166 | (part of perl change #24271)
|
|---|
| 167 | - minor doc tweaks
|
|---|
| 168 |
|
|---|
| 169 | 1.67 [2005-05-04]
|
|---|
| 170 | - (internal) don't ignore the return value of gettimeofday()
|
|---|
| 171 | - (external) return undef or an empty if the C gettimeofday() fails
|
|---|
| 172 | (affects Time::HiRes gettimeofday() and the hires time())
|
|---|
| 173 |
|
|---|
| 174 | 1.66 [2004-12-19]
|
|---|
| 175 | - add nanosleep()
|
|---|
| 176 | - fix the 'hierachy' typo in Makefile.PL [rt.cpan.org #8492]
|
|---|
| 177 | - should now build in Solaris [rt.cpan.org #7165] (since 1.64)
|
|---|
| 178 | - should now build in Cygwin [rt.cpan.org #7535] (since 1.64)
|
|---|
| 179 | - close also [rt.cpan.org #5933] "Time::HiRes::time does not
|
|---|
| 180 | pick up time adjustments like ntp" since ever reproducing it
|
|---|
| 181 | (and therefore verifying a possible fix) in the same environment
|
|---|
| 182 | has become rather unlikely
|
|---|
| 183 |
|
|---|
| 184 | 1.65 [2004-09-18]
|
|---|
| 185 | - one should not mix u?alarm and sleep (the tests modified
|
|---|
| 186 | by 1.65, #12 and #13, hung in Solaris), now we just busy
|
|---|
| 187 | loop executing an empty block
|
|---|
| 188 | - in the documentation underline the unspecificity of mixing
|
|---|
| 189 | sleeps and alarms
|
|---|
| 190 | - small spelling fixes
|
|---|
| 191 |
|
|---|
| 192 | 1.64 [2004-09-16]
|
|---|
| 193 | - regenerate ppport.h with Devel::PPPort 3.03,
|
|---|
| 194 | now the MY_CXT_CLONE is defined in ppport.h,
|
|---|
| 195 | we no more need to do that.
|
|---|
| 196 |
|
|---|
| 197 | - the test #12 would often hang in sigsuspend() (at least that's
|
|---|
| 198 | where Mac OS X' ktrace shows it hanging). With the sleep()s
|
|---|
| 199 | changed to sleep(1)s, the tests still pass but no hang after
|
|---|
| 200 | a few hundred repeats.
|
|---|
| 201 |
|
|---|
| 202 | 1.63 [2004-09-01]
|
|---|
| 203 | - Win32 and any ithread build: ppport.h didn't define
|
|---|
| 204 | MY_CXT_CLONE, which seems to be a Time-HiRes-ism.
|
|---|
| 205 |
|
|---|
| 206 | 1.62 [2004-08-31]
|
|---|
| 207 | - Skip testing if under PERL_CORE and Time::HiRes has not
|
|---|
| 208 | been Configured (from Marcus Holland-Moritz, core change
|
|---|
| 209 | #23246)
|
|---|
| 210 | - Use ppport.h generated by Devel::PPPort 3.01,
|
|---|
| 211 | allowing cutting away our own portability code.
|
|---|
| 212 | - Don't use $ENV{PERL_CORE} for < 5.6.0.
|
|---|
| 213 | - Don't use "for my $i" for <= 5.003.
|
|---|
| 214 | - Don't use Pause() for <= 5.003.
|
|---|
| 215 | - Can't use newSVpvf for <= 5.003.
|
|---|
| 216 | (most of the changes from Marcus)
|
|---|
| 217 |
|
|---|
| 218 | 1.61 [2004-08-21]
|
|---|
| 219 | - Win32: reset reading from the performance counters every
|
|---|
| 220 | five minutes to better track wall clock time (thanks to
|
|---|
| 221 | PC timers being often quite bad), should help long-running
|
|---|
| 222 | programs.
|
|---|
| 223 |
|
|---|
| 224 | 1.60 [2004-08-15]
|
|---|
| 225 | - Win32: Patch from Steve Hay
|
|---|
| 226 | [PATCH] Re: [perl #30755] [Win32] Different results from Time::HiRes::gettimeofdayunder the debugger
|
|---|
| 227 | to [perl #30755] reported by Nigel Sandever
|
|---|
| 228 |
|
|---|
| 229 | - Cygwin: Use the Win32 recalibration code also in Cygwin if the
|
|---|
| 230 | <w32api/windows.h> APIs are available. Cygwin testing by
|
|---|
| 231 | Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes.
|
|---|
| 232 |
|
|---|
| 233 | - Solaris: use -lposix4 to get nanosleep for Solaris 2.6,
|
|---|
| 234 | after that keep using -lrt, patch from Alan Burlison,
|
|---|
| 235 | bug reported in [cpan #7165]
|
|---|
| 236 |
|
|---|
| 237 | 1.59 [2004-04-08]
|
|---|
| 238 | - Change the Win32 recalibration limit to 0.5 seconds and tweak
|
|---|
| 239 | the documentation to blather less about the gory details of the
|
|---|
| 240 | Win32 implementation and more about the complications in general
|
|---|
| 241 | of meddling with the system clock.
|
|---|
| 242 |
|
|---|
| 243 | 1.58 [2004-04-08]
|
|---|
| 244 | - Document the 1.57 change better.
|
|---|
| 245 |
|
|---|
| 246 | 1.57 [2004-07-04]
|
|---|
| 247 | - Win32/Cygwin/MinGW: if the performance counter drifts by more
|
|---|
| 248 | than two seconds from the system clock (due to ntp adjustments,
|
|---|
| 249 | for example), recalibrate our internal counter: from Jan Dubois,
|
|---|
| 250 | based on [cpan #5933] by Jerry D. Hedden.
|
|---|
| 251 |
|
|---|
| 252 | 1.56 [2004-29-02]
|
|---|
| 253 | - Give a clearer message if the tests timeout (perl change #22253)
|
|---|
| 254 | - Don't use /tmp or its moral equivalents (perl bug #15036,
|
|---|
| 255 | perl change #22258)
|
|---|
| 256 |
|
|---|
| 257 | 1.55 [2004-01-14]
|
|---|
| 258 | - Windows: mingw32 patch from Mike Pomraning (use Perl's Const64()
|
|---|
| 259 | instead of VC-specific i64 suffix)
|
|---|
| 260 |
|
|---|
| 261 | 1.54 [2003-12-31]
|
|---|
| 262 | - Solaris: like Tru64 (dec_osf) also Solaris need -lrt for nanosleep
|
|---|
| 263 |
|
|---|
| 264 | 1.53 [2003-12-30]
|
|---|
| 265 | - Windows: higher resolution time() by using the Windows
|
|---|
| 266 | performance counter API, from Jan Dubois and Anton Shcherbinin.
|
|---|
| 267 | The exact new higher resolution depends on the hardware,
|
|---|
| 268 | but it should be quite a bit better than using the basic
|
|---|
| 269 | Windows timers.
|
|---|
| 270 |
|
|---|
| 271 | 1.52 [2003-10-28]
|
|---|
| 272 | - In AIX (v?) with perl 5.6.1 the HiRes.t can hang after
|
|---|
| 273 | the subtest 18. No known analysis nor fix, but added
|
|---|
| 274 | an alarm (that requires fork() and alarm()) to the test.
|
|---|
| 275 |
|
|---|
| 276 | 1.51 [2003-09-22]
|
|---|
| 277 | - doc tweaks from mjd (perl change #20456)
|
|---|
| 278 | - NCR MP-RAS hints file added (svr4.pl) (perl change #21249)
|
|---|
| 279 |
|
|---|
| 280 | 1.50 [2003-08-02]
|
|---|
| 281 | - add a message (for non-core builds) to Makefile.PL about
|
|---|
| 282 | the LC_ALL=C workaround
|
|---|
| 283 | - &Time::HiRes::d_nanosleep was broken (perl change #20131)
|
|---|
| 284 | - the nanosleep() probe was broken (perl change #20061)
|
|---|
| 285 | - use existence instead of definedness for feature probes
|
|---|
| 286 | (perl change #20043)
|
|---|
| 287 | - MPE/iX tweak (perl change #20042)
|
|---|
| 288 | - do not use HAS_NANOSLEEP (perl change #19898)
|
|---|
| 289 |
|
|---|
| 290 | 1.49 [2003-06-23]
|
|---|
| 291 | - UVuf for non-IVSIZE platforms (from Keiichiro Nagano)
|
|---|
| 292 | - OS/2 can always mix subsecond sleeps with signals
|
|---|
| 293 | (part of perl change #19789)
|
|---|
| 294 |
|
|---|
| 295 | 1.48 [2003-06-04]
|
|---|
| 296 | - workaround for buggy gcc 2.95.3 in openbsd/sparc64
|
|---|
| 297 | (perl change #19592)
|
|---|
| 298 |
|
|---|
| 299 | 1.47 [2003-05-03]
|
|---|
| 300 | - do not use -lrt in Linux (from March Lehmann, perl change #19449)
|
|---|
| 301 | - unnecessary (nanosleep is in libc anyway)
|
|---|
| 302 | - harmful (-lrt slows down execution)
|
|---|
| 303 | - incompatible (with many distributions' pthreads)
|
|---|
| 304 |
|
|---|
| 305 | 1.46 [2003-04-25]
|
|---|
| 306 | - do not create files in blib directories under core
|
|---|
| 307 | (perl change #19160, from rgs)
|
|---|
| 308 | - detypo s/VTLARM/VTARLM/ (perl change #19328, from mjd)
|
|---|
| 309 |
|
|---|
| 310 | 1.45 [2003-04-01]
|
|---|
| 311 | - guarantee that $xdefine in HiRes.t is always defined
|
|---|
| 312 | (perl change #19109, from IlyaZ)
|
|---|
| 313 | - a cleaner way to detect PERL_CORE (perl change #19111,
|
|---|
| 314 | from IlyaZ)
|
|---|
| 315 |
|
|---|
| 316 | 1.44 [2003-03-30]
|
|---|
| 317 | - add hints/irix.pl to turn off overly POSIX flags that
|
|---|
| 318 | cause hide struct timespec to be hidden (and compilation
|
|---|
| 319 | to fail) (bleadperl change #19085)
|
|---|
| 320 | - documentation tweaks
|
|---|
| 321 |
|
|---|
| 322 | 1.43 [2003-03-11]
|
|---|
| 323 | - add c:/temp to the list of temp directories to probe
|
|---|
| 324 | so that cygwin (and win*?) builds are happy. This was
|
|---|
| 325 | needed at least in my cygwin 1.3.20/w2k setup.
|
|---|
| 326 |
|
|---|
| 327 | 1.42 [2003-01-07]
|
|---|
| 328 | - modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark)
|
|---|
| 329 |
|
|---|
| 330 | 1.41 [2003-01-03]
|
|---|
| 331 | - At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir
|
|---|
| 332 | for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl)
|
|---|
| 333 | had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with
|
|---|
| 334 | a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 335 | nothing of this was visible). The brokenness seemed to be
|
|---|
| 336 | caused by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds?
|
|---|
| 337 | Now stole a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE}
|
|---|
| 338 | right, and both styles of build should work again.
|
|---|
| 339 |
|
|---|
| 340 | 1.40 [2003-01-03]
|
|---|
| 341 | - Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function
|
|---|
| 342 | was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls
|
|---|
| 343 | 5.002 and 5.003)
|
|---|
| 344 | - inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w
|
|---|
| 345 | and strict clean
|
|---|
| 346 | - tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace
|
|---|
| 347 |
|
|---|
| 348 | 1.39 [2003-10-20]
|
|---|
| 349 | - fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE
|
|---|
| 350 |
|
|---|
| 351 | 1.38 [2003-10-13]
|
|---|
| 352 | - no functional changes
|
|---|
| 353 | - move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm
|
|---|
| 354 | - libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned
|
|---|
| 355 | for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it)
|
|---|
| 356 |
|
|---|
| 357 | 1.37 [2003-09-23]
|
|---|
| 358 | - Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X.
|
|---|
| 359 | A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected.
|
|---|
| 360 | The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals)
|
|---|
| 361 | and only after that tested for the signal having been sent.
|
|---|
| 362 | Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never
|
|---|
| 363 | completed. The solution: test first, then block.
|
|---|
| 364 | - default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the
|
|---|
| 365 | environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the
|
|---|
| 366 | details (the probing command and the possible errors)
|
|---|
| 367 |
|
|---|
| 368 | 1.36 [2003-09-12]
|
|---|
| 369 | - do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski)
|
|---|
| 370 | - INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes
|
|---|
| 371 | cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version
|
|---|
| 372 | (Guido A. Ostkamp)
|
|---|
| 373 | - Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl
|
|---|
| 374 | because the include directories did not adjust themselves
|
|---|
| 375 | if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden)
|
|---|
| 376 | - add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm()
|
|---|
| 377 |
|
|---|
| 378 | 1.35 [2003-08-24]
|
|---|
| 379 | - small documentation tweaks
|
|---|
| 380 |
|
|---|
| 381 |
|
|---|
| 382 | 1.34 [2003-08-22]
|
|---|
| 383 | - better VMS operation (Craig Berry)
|
|---|
| 384 |
|
|---|
| 385 | 1.33 [2003-08-20]
|
|---|
| 386 | - our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01
|
|---|
| 387 | (tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults
|
|---|
| 388 | from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D)
|
|---|
| 389 |
|
|---|
| 390 | 1.32 [2003-08-20]
|
|---|
| 391 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.0) tweaks:
|
|---|
| 392 | - no XSLoader in 5.00503, use DynaLoader instead
|
|---|
| 393 | - no SvPV_nolen, either
|
|---|
| 394 | - no PerlProc_pause(), either
|
|---|
| 395 | - now tested with 5.00404 and 5.00503
|
|---|
| 396 | - Makefile.PL requires 5.00404 (no more 5.002)
|
|---|
| 397 | - use nanosleep instead of usleep, if it is available (Wilson Snyder)
|
|---|
| 398 | (this means that one can mix subsecond sleeps with alarms)
|
|---|
| 399 | - because of nanosleep we probe for -lrt and -lposix4
|
|---|
| 400 | - the existence of getitimer/nanosleep/setitimer/ualarm/usleep
|
|---|
| 401 | is available by exportable constants Time::HiRes::d_func
|
|---|
| 402 | (since older Perl do not have them in %Config, and even
|
|---|
| 403 | 5.8.0 does not probe for nanosleep)
|
|---|
| 404 |
|
|---|
| 405 | 1.31 [2003-08-19]
|
|---|
| 406 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.1) tweaks:
|
|---|
| 407 | - define NV if no NVTYPE
|
|---|
| 408 | - define IVdf if needed (note: the Devel::PPPort
|
|---|
| 409 | in 5.8.0 does not try hard hard enough since
|
|---|
| 410 | the IVSIZE might not be defined)
|
|---|
| 411 | - define NVgf if needed
|
|---|
| 412 | - grab the typemap from 5.8.0 for the NV stuff
|
|---|
| 413 |
|
|---|
| 414 | 1.31 and 1.32 add more backward compatibility (now all the way
|
|---|
| 415 | back to Perl 5.00404), and using nanosleep() (if available) for
|
|---|
| 416 | subsecond sleeps.
|
|---|
| 417 |
|
|---|
| 418 | 1.30 [2003-08-16]
|
|---|
| 419 |
|
|---|
| 420 | - release 1.29_02 as 1.30
|
|---|
| 421 |
|
|---|
| 422 | 1.30 adds all the changes made during the Perl 5.6->5.7->5.8
|
|---|
| 423 | development cycle. Most notably portability across platforms has been
|
|---|
| 424 | enhanced, and the interval timers (setitimer, getitimer) have been
|
|---|
| 425 | added. Note that the version of Time::HiRes that is included in Perl
|
|---|
| 426 | 5.8.0 calls itself 1.20_00, but it is equivalent to this Time::HiRes
|
|---|
| 427 | version. Note also that in 1.30 Wegscheid turns over the maintenance
|
|---|
| 428 | to Jarkko Hietaniemi.
|
|---|
| 429 |
|
|---|
| 430 | 1.29_02 [2003-08-16]
|
|---|
| 431 |
|
|---|
| 432 | - fix a silly unclosed comment typo in HiRes.xs
|
|---|
| 433 | - document and export REALTIME_REALPROF (Solaris)
|
|---|
| 434 |
|
|---|
| 435 | 1.29_01 [2003-08-16]
|
|---|
| 436 |
|
|---|
| 437 | - only getitimer(ITIMER_REAL) available in Cygwin and Win32
|
|---|
| 438 | (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89])
|
|---|
| 439 | - remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs
|
|---|
| 440 |
|
|---|
| 441 | 1.29_00 [2003-08-14]
|
|---|
| 442 |

|
|---|
| 475 | from Jarkko Hietaniemi
|
|---|
| 476 | - 12449: make sleep() and usleep() to return the number

| 503 | - 9714: correct test output
|

|
|---|
| 505 | - 9705: Add interval timers (setitimer, getitimer)
|
|---|
| 506 | - 9692: do not require at least 5.005 using XS
|
|---|
| 507 |
|
|---|
| 508 | The following changes were made on top of the changes
|
|---|
| 509 | made for Time::HiRes during the Perl 5.7 development
|
|---|
| 510 | cycle that culminated in the release of Perl 5.8.0.
|
|---|
| 511 |
|
|---|
| 512 | - add "require 5.005" to the Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 513 | - remove the REVISION section (CVS log) from HiRes.pm
|
|---|
| 514 | - add jhi's copyright alongside Douglas'
|
|---|
| 515 | - move HiRes.pm to lib/Time/
|
|---|
| 516 | - move HiRes.t to t/
|
|---|
| 517 | - modify HiRes.t to use $ENV{PERL_CORE}
|
|---|
| 518 | - modify the original Time::HiRes version 1.20 Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 519 | to work both with Perl 5.8.0 and the new code with pre-5.8.0
|
|---|
| 520 | Perls (tried with 5.6.1)
|
|---|
| 521 | - tiny tweaks and updates in README and TODO
|
|---|
| 522 | - bump the VERSION to 1.29
|
|---|
| 523 |
|
|---|
| 524 | 1.20 Wed Feb 24 21:30 1999
|
|---|
| 525 | - make our usleep and ualarm substitutes into hrt_usleep
|
|---|
| 526 | and hrt_ualarm. This helps static links of Perl with other
|
|---|
| 527 | packages that also have usleep, etc. From
|
|---|
| 528 | Ilya Zakharevich <[email protected]>
|
|---|
| 529 | - add C API stuff. From Joshua Pritikin
|
|---|
| 530 | <[email protected]>
|
|---|
| 531 | - VMS Makefile.PL fun. From [email protected] (Peter Prymmer)
|
|---|
| 532 | - hopefully correct "-lc" fix for SCO.
|
|---|
| 533 | - add PPD stuff
|
|---|
| 534 |
|
|---|
| 535 | 1.20 adds a platform neutral set of C accessible routines if you are
|
|---|
| 536 | running 5.005+. All other changes are packaging changes and build
|
|---|
| 537 | fixes(?) for statically linked Perl, SCO, and VMS.
|
|---|
| 538 |
|
|---|
| 539 | 1.19 Tue Sep 29 22:30 1998
|
|---|
| 540 | - put VMS gettimeofday() in. Patch is from Sebastian Bazley
|
|---|
| 541 | <[email protected]>
|
|---|
| 542 | - change GIMME_V to GIMME to help people with older versions of
|
|---|
| 543 | Perl.
|
|---|
| 544 | - fix Win32 version of gettimeofday(). It didn't affect anything,
|
|---|
| 545 | but it confuses people reading the code when the return value
|
|---|
| 546 | is backwards (0 is success).
|
|---|
| 547 | - fix Makefile.PL (more) so that detection of gettimeofday is
|
|---|
| 548 | more correct.
|
|---|
| 549 |
|
|---|
| 550 | 1.19 has better VMS support.
|
|---|
| 551 |
|
|---|
| 552 | 1.18 Mon Jul 6 22:40 1998
|
|---|
| 553 | - add usleep() for Win32.
|
|---|
| 554 | - fix Makefile.PL to fix reported HP/UX feature where unresolved
|
|---|
| 555 | externals still cause an executable to be generated (though no
|
|---|
| 556 | x bit set). Thanks to David Kozinn for report and explanation.
|
|---|
| 557 | Problems with the fix are mine :)
|
|---|
| 558 |
|
|---|
| 559 | 1.18 has limited Win32 support (no ualarm). Added usleep for Win32.
|
|---|
| 560 | Probably buggy. I'm sure I'll hear.
|
|---|
| 561 |
|
|---|
| 562 | 1.17 Wed Jul 1 20:10 1998
|
|---|
| 563 | - fix setitimer calls so microseconds is not more than 1000000.
|
|---|
| 564 | Hp/UX 9 doesn't like that. Provided by Roland B Robert, PhD.
|
|---|
| 565 | - make Win32. We only get gettimeofday (the select hack doesn't
|
|---|
| 566 | seem to work on my Win95 system).
|
|---|
| 567 | - fix test 4 on 01test.t. add test to see if time() and
|
|---|
| 568 | Time::HiRes::time() are close.
|
|---|
| 569 |
|
|---|
| 570 | 1.16 Wed Nov 12 21:05 1997
|
|---|
| 571 | - add missing EXTEND in new gettimeofday scalar code.
|
|---|
| 572 |
|
|---|
| 573 | 1.16+ should be closer to building out of the box on Linux. Thanks
|
|---|
| 574 | to Gisle Aas for patches, and the ualarm equivalent using setitimer.
|
|---|
| 575 |
|
|---|
| 576 | If your underlying operating system doesn't implement ualarm(), then
|
|---|
| 577 | a fake using setitimer() will be made. If the OS is missing usleep(),
|
|---|
| 578 | a fake one using select() will be made. If a fake can't be made for
|
|---|
| 579 | either ualarm() or usleep(), then the corresponding Perl function will
|
|---|
| 580 | not be available. If the OS is missing gettimeofday(), you will get
|
|---|
| 581 | unresolved externals, either at link- or run-time.
|
|---|
| 582 |
|
|---|
| 583 | This is an improvement; the package used to not even build if
|
|---|
| 584 | you were missing any of these bits. Roderick Schertler
|
|---|
| 585 |
|
|---|
| 586 | <[email protected]> did all the conditional compilation stuff,
|
|---|
| 587 | look at HiRes.pm and the test suites; it's good educational reading.
|
|---|
| 588 |
|
|---|
| 589 | 1.15 Mon Nov 10 21:30 1997
|
|---|
| 590 | - HiRes.pm: update pod. Provided by Gisle Aas.
|
|---|
| 591 | - HiRes.xs: if gettimeofday() called in scalar context, do
|
|---|
| 592 | something more useful than before. Provided by Gisle Aas.
|
|---|
| 593 | - README: tell of xsubpp '-nolinenumber' woes. thanks to
|
|---|
| 594 | Edward Henigin <[email protected]> for pointing out the problem.
|
|---|
| 595 |
|
|---|
| 596 | 1.14 Wed Nov 5 9:40 1997
|
|---|
| 597 | - Makefile.PL: look for setitimer
