(line 793f) Removed the definition of + 'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. + + * generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of + 'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David + Graveraux <davygrvy@bigfoot.com> to that too (__stdcall, + ...). Added macros for the default stacksize and allowed flags. + + * generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of + 'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new + arguments in the public API, for stacksize and flags. + + * win/tclWinThrd.c: + * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread, + added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored. + + * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable + flag. Ignores the specified stacksize if the macro + HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is not defined. + + * generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below. + + * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes + above. Uses default stacksize and no flags now. + + * unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for + 'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing + this feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will + define the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See + unix/tclUnixThrd.c too). + + * doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the + list of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a + public C-API for thread-creation. + 2000-04-07 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> * doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan |
