* Overall changes: (1) Implementation of joinable threads for all platforms. (2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the thread extension to move channels between threads. * generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400). * generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_CutChannel. Replaced several code fragments adding channels to the channel list with calls to Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel. Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and 'isshared' to the test code (TclTestChannelCmd). * unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the pthread-functionality. * win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments. Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added 'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to prevent a race for joinable threads. * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this platform the race mentioned above is not present. * generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of joinable threads for the win and mac platforms. * generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread, TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above). * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules. * mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to be added to so that it compiles. Sorry. * unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of channels. The information in this list for a channel was left behind and then crashed the system during finalization. * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'. * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. * doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread. * tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.
