1 | Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes. |
2 | |
a0c8e3cf |
3 | 1.43 |
4 | - add c:/temp to the list of temp directories to probe |
5 | so that cygwin (and win*?) builds are happy. This was |
6 | needed at least in my cygwin 1.3.20/w2k setup. |
7 | |
98b50af3 |
8 | 1.42 |
9 | - modernize the constants code (from Nicholas Clark) |
10 | |
11 | 1.41 |
12 | - At some point the ability to figure our the correct incdir |
13 | for EXTERN.h (either a core perl build, or an installed perl) |
14 | had broken (which lead into all test compiles failing with |
15 | a core perl build, but thanks to the robustness of Makefile.PL |
a0c8e3cf |
16 | nothing of this was visible). The brokenness seemed to be |
17 | caused by $ENV{PERL_CORE} not being on for core builds? |
18 | Now stole a trick from the Encode that sets $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
19 | right, and both styles of build should work again. |
98b50af3 |
20 | |
21 | 1.40 |
22 | - Nicholas Clark noticed that the my_catdir() emulation function |
23 | was broken (which means that we didn't really work for Perls |
24 | 5.002 and 5.003) |
25 | - inspired by fixing the above made the whole Makefile.PL -w |
26 | and strict clean |
27 | - tightened up the Makefile.PL output, less whitespace |
28 | |
6a20eacc |
29 | 1.39 |
30 | - fix from Craig Berry for better building in VMS with PERL_CORE |
31 | |
3f2ee006 |
32 | 1.38 |
33 | - no functional changes |
34 | - move lib/Time/HiRes.pm as Hires.pm |
35 | - libraries scanning was slightly broken (always scanned |
36 | for a library even when $Config{libs} already had it) |
37 | |
38 | 1.37 |
39 | - Ray Zimmerman ran into a race condition in Mac OS X. |
40 | A 0.01-second alarm fired before the test expected. |
41 | The test first slept indefinitely (blocking for signals) |
42 | and only after that tested for the signal having been sent. |
43 | Since the signal had already been sent, the test #12 never |
44 | completed. The solution: test first, then block. |
45 | - default to being silent on all probing attempts, set the |
46 | environment variable VERBOSE to a true value to see the |
47 | details (the probing command and the possible errors) |
48 | |
49 | 1.36 |
50 | - do not clear MAN3PODS in Makefile.PL (Radoslaw Zielinski) |
51 | - INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' missing which means that Time::HiRes |
52 | cannot be upgraded from CPAN to override the 5.8.0 version |
53 | (Guido A. Ostkamp) |
54 | - Time::HiRes 1.35 could not be dropped as-is to bleadperl |
55 | because the include directories did not adjust themselves |
56 | if $ENV{PERL_CORE} (Hugo van der Sanden) |
57 | - add documentation about the restart of select() under alarm() |
58 | |
59 | 1.35 |
60 | - small documentation tweaks |
61 | |
62 | |
63 | 1.34 |
64 | - better VMS operation (Craig Berry) |
65 | |
66 | 1.33 |
67 | - our time machine is accelerating: now works with Perl 5.004_01 |
68 | (tried with 5.003_07 and 5.002 but I get segmentation faults |
69 | from running the Makefile.PL with those in Tru64 4.0D) |
70 | |
71 | 1.32 |
72 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.0) tweaks: |
73 | - no XSLoader in 5.00503, use DynaLoader instead |
74 | - no SvPV_nolen, either |
75 | - no PerlProc_pause(), either |
76 | - now tested with 5.00404 and 5.00503 |
77 | - Makefile.PL requires 5.00404 (no more 5.002) |
78 | - use nanosleep instead of usleep, if it is available (Wilson Snyder) |
79 | (this means that one can mix subsecond sleeps with alarms) |
80 | - because of nanosleep we probe for -lrt and -lposix4 |
81 | - the existence of getitimer/nanosleep/setitimer/ualarm/usleep |
82 | is available by exportable constants Time::HiRes::d_func |
83 | (since older Perl do not have them in %Config, and even |
84 | 5.8.0 does not probe for nanosleep) |
85 | |
86 | 1.31 |
87 | - backward compatibility (pre-5.6.1) tweaks: |
88 | - define NV if no NVTYPE |
89 | - define IVdf if needed (note: the Devel::PPPort |
90 | in 5.8.0 does not try hard hard enough since |
91 | the IVSIZE might not be defined) |
92 | - define NVgf if needed |
93 | - grab the typemap from 5.8.0 for the NV stuff |
94 | 1.30 |
95 | |
96 | - release 1.29_02 as 1.30 |
97 | |
98 | 1.29_02 |
99 | |
100 | - fix a silly unclosed comment typo in HiRes.xs |
101 | - document and export REALTIME_REALPROF (Solaris) |
102 | |
103 | 1.29_01 |
104 | |
105 | - only getitimer(ITIMER_REAL) available in Cygwin and Win32 |
106 | (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89]) |
107 | - remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs |
108 | |
109 | 1.29_00 |
110 | |

176 | The following changes were made on top of the changes |
177 | made for Time::HiRes during the Perl 5.7 development |
178 | cycle that culminated in the release of Perl 5.8.0. |
179 | |
180 | - add "require 5.005" to the Makefile.PL |
181 | - remove the REVISION section (CVS log) from HiRes.pm |
182 | - add jhi's copyright alongside Douglas' |
183 | - move HiRes.pm to lib/Time/ |
184 | - move HiRes.t to t/ |
185 | - modify HiRes.t to use $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
186 | - modify the original Time::HiRes version 1.20 Makefile.PL |
187 | to work both with Perl 5.8.0 and the new code with pre-5.8.0 |
188 | Perls (tried with 5.6.1) |
189 | - tiny tweaks and updates in README and TODO |
190 | - bump the VERSION to 1.29 |
191 | |
dcf686c9 |
192 | 1.20 Wed Feb 24 21:30 1999 |
193 | - make our usleep and ualarm substitutes into hrt_usleep |
194 | and hrt_ualarm. This helps static links of Perl with other |
195 | packages that also have usleep, etc. From |
196 | Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu> |
197 | - add C API stuff. From Joshua Pritikin |
198 | <joshua.pritikin@db.com> |
3f2ee006 |
199 | - VMS Makefile.PL fun. From pvhp@forte.com (Peter Prymmer) |
dcf686c9 |
200 | - hopefully correct "-lc" fix for SCO. |
201 | - add PPD stuff |
202 | |
203 | 1.19 Tue Sep 29 22:30 1998 |
204 | - put VMS gettimeofday() in. Patch is from Sebastian Bazley |
205 | <seb@stian.demon.co.uk> |
206 | - change GIMME_V to GIMME to help people with older versions of |
207 | Perl. |
208 | - fix Win32 version of gettimeofday(). It didn't affect anything, |
209 | but it confuses people reading the code when the return value |
210 | is backwards (0 is success). |
211 | - fix Makefile.PL (more) so that detection of gettimeofday is |
212 | more correct. |
213 | |
214 | 1.18 Mon Jul 6 22:40 1998 |
215 | - add usleep() for Win32. |
216 | - fix Makefile.PL to fix reported HP/UX feature where unresolved |
217 | externals still cause an executable to be generated (though no |
218 | x bit set). Thanks to David Kozinn for report and explanation. |
219 | Problems with the fix are mine :) |
220 | |
221 | 1.17 Wed Jul 1 20:10 1998 |
222 | - fix setitimer calls so microseconds is not more than 1000000. |
223 | Hp/UX 9 doesn't like that. Provided by Roland B Robert, PhD. |
3f2ee006 |
224 | - make Win32. We only get gettimeofday (the select hack doesn't |
dcf686c9 |
225 | seem to work on my Win95 system). |
3f2ee006 |
226 | - fix test 4 on 01test.t. add test to see if time() and |
dcf686c9 |
227 | Time::HiRes::time() are close. |
228 | |
229 | 1.16 Wed Nov 12 21:05 1997 |
230 | - add missing EXTEND in new gettimeofday scalar code. |
231 | |
232 | 1.15 Mon Nov 10 21:30 1997 |
233 | - HiRes.pm: update pod. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
234 | - HiRes.xs: if gettimeofday() called in scalar context, do |
235 | something more useful than before. Provided by Gisle Aas. |
236 | - README: tell of xsubpp '-nolinenumber' woes. thanks to |
237 | Edward Henigin <ed@texas.net> for pointing out the problem. |
238 | |
239 | 1.14 Wed Nov 5 9:40 1997 |
240 | - Makefile.PL: look for setitimer |
241 | - HiRes.xs: if missing ualarm, but we have setitimer, make up |
242 | our own setitimer. These were provided by Gisle Aas. |
243 | |
244 | 1.13 Tue Nov 4 23:30 1997 |
245 | - Makefile.PL: fix autodetect mechanism to do try linking in addition |
246 | to just compiling; should fix Linux build problem. Fix was provided |
247 | by Gisle Aas. |
248 | |
249 | 1.12 Sun Oct 12 12:00:00 1997 |
250 | - Makefile.PL: set XSOPT to '-nolinenumbers' to work around xsubpp bug; |
251 | you may need to comment this back out if you have an older xsubpp. |
252 | - HiRes.xs: set PROTOTYPES: DISABLE |
253 | |
254 | 1.11 Fri Sep 05 16:00:00 1997 |
255 | - Makefile.PL: |
256 | Had some line commented out that shouldn't have been (testing |
257 | remnants) |
258 | - README: |
259 | Previous version was corrupted. |
260 | |
261 | 1.10 Thu May 22 20:20:00 1997 |
262 | - HiRes.xs, HiRes.pm, t/*: |
263 | - only compile what we have OS support for (or can |
264 | fake with select()) |
265 | - only test what we compiled |
266 | - gross improvement to the test suite |
267 | - fix EXPORT_FAIL. |
268 | This work was all done by Roderick Schertler |
269 | <roderick@argon.org>. If you run Linux or |
270 | one of the other ualarm-less platoforms, and you like this |
271 | module, let Roderick know; without him, it still wouldn't |
272 | be working on those boxes... |
273 | - Makefile.PL: figure out what routines the OS has and |
274 | only build what we need. These bits were written by Jarkko |
275 | Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>. Again, gratitude is due... |
276 | |
277 | 1.02 Mon Dec 30 08:00:00 1996 |
278 | - HiRes.pm: update documentation to say what to do when missing |
279 | ualarm() and friends. |
280 | - README: update to warn that ualarm() and friends need to exist |
281 | |
282 | 1.01 Fri Oct 17 08:00:00 1996 |
283 | - Makefile.PL: make XSPROTOARGS => '-noprototyopes' |
284 | - HiRes.pm: put blank line between __END__ and =head1 so that |
285 | pod2man works. |
286 | |
287 | 1.00 Tue Sep 03 13:00:00 1996 |
288 | - original version; created by h2xs 1.16 |
