1 | Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes. |
2 | |
d7358e6a |
3 | 1.50 |
4 | - add a message (for non-core builds) to Makefile.PL about |
5 | the LC_ALL=C workaround |
6 | - &Time::HiRes::d_nanosleep was broken (perl change #20131) |
7 | - the nanosleep() probe was broken (perl change #20061) |
8 | - use existence instead of definedness for feature probes |
9 | (perl change #20043) |
10 | - MPE/iX tweak (perl change #20042) |
11 | - do not use HAS_NANOSLEEP (perl change #19898) |
12 | |
df16a331 |
13 | 1.49 |
14 | - UVuf for non-IVSIZE platforms (from Keiichiro Nagano) |
15 | - OS/2 can always mix subsecond sleeps with signals |
16 | (part of perl change #19789) |
17 | |
2d9815af |
18 | 1.48 |
19 | - workaround for buggy gcc 2.95.3 in openbsd/sparc64 |
20 | (perl change #19592) |
21 | |
1a08a6ab |
22 | 1.47 |
2d9815af |
23 | - do not use -lrt in Linux (from March Lehmann, perl change #19449) |
1a08a6ab |
24 | - unnecessary (nanosleep is in libc anyway) |
25 | - harmful (-lrt slows down execution) |
26 | - incompatible (with many distributions' pthreads) |
27 | |
25ca0970 |
28 | 1.46 |
29 | - do not create files in blib directories under core |
30 | (perl change #19160, from rgs) |
31 | - detypo s/VTLARM/VTARLM/ (perl change #19328, from mjd) |
32 | |
33 | 1.45 |
34 | - guarantee that $xdefine in HiRes.t is always defined |
35 | (perl change #19109, from IlyaZ) |
36 | - a cleaner way to detect PERL_CORE (perl change #19111, |
37 | from IlyaZ) |
38 | |
0be47ac6 |
39 | 1.44 |
40 | - add hints/irix.pl to turn off overly POSIX flags that |
41 | cause hide struct timespec to be hidden (and compilation |
25ca0970 |
42 | to fail) (bleadperl change #19085) |
0be47ac6 |
43 | - documentation tweaks |
44 | |
a0c8e3cf |
45 | 1.43 |
46 | - add c:/temp to the list of temp directories to probe |
47 | so that cygwin (and win*?) builds are happy. This was |
48 | needed at least in my cygwin 1.3.20/w2k setup. |
49 | |
98b50af3 |
50 | 1.42 |
51 | - modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark) |
52 | |
53 | 1.41 |
54 | - At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir |
55 | for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl) |
56 | had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with |
57 | a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL |
a0c8e3cf |
58 | nothing of this was visible). The brokenness seemed to be |
59 | caused by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds? |
60 | Now stole a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
61 | right, and both styles of build should work again. |
98b50af3 |
62 | |
63 | 1.40 |
64 | - Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function |
65 | was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls |
66 | 5.002 and 5.003) |
67 | - inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w |
68 | and strict clean |
69 | - tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace |
70 | |
6a20eacc |
71 | 1.39 |
72 | - fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE |
73 | |
3f2ee006 |
74 | 1.38 |
75 | - no functional changes |
76 | - move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm |
77 | - libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned |
78 | for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it) |
79 | |
80 | 1.37 |
81 | - Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X. |
82 | A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected. |
83 | The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals) |
84 | and only after that tested for the signal having been sent. |
85 | Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never |
86 | completed. The solution: test first, then block. |
87 | - default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the |
88 | environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the |
89 | details (the probing command and the possible errors) |
90 | |
91 | 1.36 |
92 | - do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski) |
93 | - INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes |
94 | cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version |
95 | (Guido A. Ostkamp) |
96 | - Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl |
97 | because the include directories did not adjust themselves |
98 | if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden) |
99 | - add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm() |
100 | |
101 | 1.35 |
102 | - small documentation tweaks |
103 | |
104 | |
105 | 1.34 |
106 | - better VMS operation (Craig Berry) |
107 | |
108 | 1.33 |
109 | - our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01 |
110 | (tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults |
111 | from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D) |
112 | |
113 | 1.32 |
114 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.0) tweaks: |
115 | - no XSLoader in 5.00503, use DynaLoader instead |
116 | - no SvPV_nolen, either |
117 | - no PerlProc_pause(), either |
118 | - now tested with 5.00404 and 5.00503 |
119 | - Makefile.PL requires 5.00404 (no more 5.002) |
120 | - use nanosleep instead of usleep, if it is available (Wilson Snyder) |
121 | (this means that one can mix subsecond sleeps with alarms) |
122 | - because of nanosleep we probe for -lrt and -lposix4 |
123 | - the existence of getitimer/nanosleep/setitimer/ualarm/usleep |
124 | is available by exportable constants Time::HiRes::d_func |
125 | (since older Perl do not have them in %Config, and even |
126 | 5.8.0 does not probe for nanosleep) |
127 | |
128 | 1.31 |
129 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.1) tweaks: |
130 | - define NV if no NVTYPE |
131 | - define IVdf if needed (note: the Devel::PPPort |
132 | in 5.8.0 does not try hard hard enough since |
133 | the IVSIZE might not be defined) |
134 | - define NVgf if needed |
135 | - grab the typemap from 5.8.0 for the NV stuff |
136 | 1.30 |
137 | |
138 | - release 1.29_02 as 1.30 |
139 | |
140 | 1.29_02 |
141 | |
142 | - fix a silly unclosed comment typo in HiRes.xs |
143 | - document and export REALTIME_REALPROF (Solaris) |
144 | |
145 | 1.29_01 |
146 | |
147 | - only getitimer(ITIMER_REAL) available in Cygwin and Win32 |
148 | (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89]) |
149 | - remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs |
150 | |
151 | 1.29_00 |
152 | |

218 | The following changes were made on top of the changes |
219 | made for Time::HiRes during the Perl 5.7 development |
220 | cycle that culminated in the release of Perl 5.8.0. |
221 | |
222 | - add "require 5.005" to the Makefile.PL |
223 | - remove the REVISION section (CVS log) from HiRes.pm |
224 | - add jhi's copyright alongside Douglas' |
225 | - move HiRes.pm to lib/Time/ |
226 | - move HiRes.t to t/ |
227 | - modify HiRes.t to use $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
228 | - modify the original Time::HiRes version 1.20 Makefile.PL |
229 | to work both with Perl 5.8.0 and the new code with pre-5.8.0 |
230 | Perls (tried with 5.6.1) |
231 | - tiny tweaks and updates in README and TODO |
232 | - bump the VERSION to 1.29 |
233 | |
dcf686c9 |
234 | 1.20 Wed Feb 24 21:30 1999 |
235 | - make our usleep and ualarm substitutes into hrt_usleep |
236 | and hrt_ualarm. This helps static links of Perl with other |
237 | packages that also have usleep, etc. From |
238 | Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu> |
239 | - add C API stuff. From Joshua Pritikin |
240 | <joshua.pritikin@db.com> |
3f2ee006 |
241 | - VMS Makefile.PL fun. From pvhp@forte.com (Peter Prymmer) |
dcf686c9 |
242 | - hopefully correct "-lc" fix for SCO. |
243 | - add PPD stuff |
244 | |
245 | 1.19 Tue Sep 29 22:30 1998 |
246 | - put VMS gettimeofday() in. Patch is from Sebastian Bazley |
247 | <seb@stian.demon.co.uk> |
248 | - change GIMME_V to GIMME to help people with older versions of |
249 | Perl. |
250 | - fix Win32 version of gettimeofday(). It didn't affect anything, |
251 | but it confuses people reading the code when the return value |
252 | is backwards (0 is success). |
253 | - fix Makefile.PL (more) so that detection of gettimeofday is |
254 | more correct. |
255 | |
256 | 1.18 Mon Jul 6 22:40 1998 |
257 | - add usleep() for Win32. |
258 | - fix Makefile.PL to fix reported HP/UX feature where unresolved |
259 | externals still cause an executable to be generated (though no |
260 | x bit set). Thanks to David Kozinn for report and explanation. |
261 | Problems with the fix are mine :) |
262 | |
263 | 1.17 Wed Jul 1 20:10 1998 |
264 | - fix setitimer calls so microseconds is not more than 1000000. |
265 | Hp/UX 9 doesn't like that. Provided by Roland B Robert, PhD. |
3f2ee006 |
266 | - make Win32. We only get gettimeofday (the select hack doesn't |
dcf686c9 |
267 | seem to work on my Win95 system). |
3f2ee006 |
268 | - fix test 4 on 01test.t. add test to see if time() and |
dcf686c9 |
269 | Time::HiRes::time() are close. |
270 | |
271 | 1.16 Wed Nov 12 21:05 1997 |
272 | - add missing EXTEND in new gettimeofday scalar code. |
273 | |
274 | 1.15 Mon Nov 10 21:30 1997 |
275 | - HiRes.pm: update pod. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
276 | - HiRes.xs: if gettimeofday() called in scalar context, do |
277 | something more useful than before. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
278 | - README: tell of xsubpp '-nolinenumber' woes. thanks to |
279 | Edward Henigin <ed@texas.net> for pointing out the problem. |
280 | |
281 | 1.14 Wed Nov 5 9:40 1997 |
282 | - Makefile.PL: look for setitimer |
283 | - HiRes.xs: if missing ualarm, but we have setitimer, make up |
284 | our own setitimer. These were provided by Gisle Aas. |
285 | |
286 | 1.13 Tue Nov 4 23:30 1997 |
287 | - Makefile.PL: fix autodetect mechanism to do try linking in addition |
288 | to just compiling; should fix Linux build problem. Fix was provided |
289 | by Gisle Aas. |
290 | |
291 | 1.12 Sun Oct 12 12:00:00 1997 |
292 | - Makefile.PL: set XSOPT to '-nolinenumbers' to work around xsubpp bug; |
293 | you may need to comment this back out if you have an older xsubpp. |
294 | - HiRes.xs: set PROTOTYPES: DISABLE |
295 | |
296 | 1.11 Fri Sep 05 16:00:00 1997 |
297 | - Makefile.PL: |
298 | Had some line commented out that shouldn't have been (testing |
299 | remnants) |
300 | - README: |
301 | Previous version was corrupted. |
302 | |
303 | 1.10 Thu May 22 20:20:00 1997 |
304 | - HiRes.xs, HiRes.pm, t/*: |
305 | - only compile what we have OS support for (or can |
306 | fake with select()) |
307 | - only test what we compiled |
308 | - gross improvement to the test suite |
309 | - fix EXPORT_FAIL. |
310 | This work was all done by Roderick Schertler |
311 | <roderick@argon.org>. If you run Linux or |
312 | one of the other ualarm-less platoforms, and you like this |
313 | module, let Roderick know; without him, it still wouldn't |
314 | be working on those boxes... |
315 | - Makefile.PL: figure out what routines the OS has and |
316 | only build what we need. These bits were written by Jarkko |
317 | Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>. Again, gratitude is due... |
318 | |
319 | 1.02 Mon Dec 30 08:00:00 1996 |
320 | - HiRes.pm: update documentation to say what to do when missing |
321 | ualarm() and friends. |
322 | - README: update to warn that ualarm() and friends need to exist |
323 | |
324 | 1.01 Fri Oct 17 08:00:00 1996 |
325 | - Makefile.PL: make XSPROTOARGS => '-noprototyopes' |
326 | - HiRes.pm: put blank line between __END__ and =head1 so that |
327 | pod2man works. |
328 | |
329 | 1.00 Tue Sep 03 13:00:00 1996 |
330 | - original version; created by h2xs 1.16 |
