Revision history for Perl extension Time::HiRes.
-1.79 [2005-10-03]
+1.87 [2006-02-13]
+ - [rt.cpan.org #17442] 'make test' frequently fails under
+ Cygwin Perl v5.8.8, reported and patched by J. R. Hedden
+ (two race condition bugs in the END block in the case the
+ main process dies before the timer process, unearthed
+ by a bug in Cygwin ualarm)
+
+1.86 [2005-12-17]
+ - HiRes.t:s/ok 32/ok 33/, from Dominic Dunlop
+ - tighten up the clock() test marginally by requiring non-negative
+ - clock_nanosleep() and clock() doc tweaks
+
+1.85 [2005-12-16]
+ - the interface to clock_nanosleep() is more natural
+ when it is like (hires) time() (instead of like nanosleep),
+ and the .xs implementation of clock_nanosleep() in 1.84
+ was broken anyway
+ - the semantics of clock() are not quite so silly as I thought,
+ but still somewhat odd, documented as such
+ - additional enhancements to the clock() documentation
+ - add test for clock_nanosleep() (I cannot test this
+ since none of my systems have the function)
+ - add test for clock()
+
+1.84 [2005-12-16]
+ - add clock() which returns the processor time in
+ (floating point) seconds since an arbitrary era
+ - add clock_nanosleep() which suspends the current
+ thread until either absolute time or for relative time
+ - [rt.cpan.org #16486] printf missing value in HiRes.t
+ - add constants CLOCKS_PER_SEC, CLOCK_SOFTTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME
+ - tiny typo fixes
+
+1.83 [2005-11-19]
+ - has_symbol() was wrong since e.g. ITIMER_VIRTUAL is exported
+ via @EXPORT_OK even when it is not available. This is heinous.
+ @EXPORT_OK should be determined at Makefile.PL time.
+ - be more lenient is testing clock_gettime(): allow more slop,
+ and retry up to three times, sleeping a random nap between
+ the retries
+ - human months are one-based (noticed by Anton Berezin)
+
+1.82 [2005-10-06]
+ - CLOCK_REALTIME is an enum value (of the clockid_t enum)
+ in HP-UX (and might be so elsewhere, too), debugged by
+ H. Merijn Brand
+ - include const-c.inc as late as possible (from Randy Kobes,
+ [rt.cpan.org #15552] to avoid undefined usleep() on Win32
+
+1.81 [2005-11-05]
+ - try to be more robust and consistent in the detection of
+ CLOCK_REALTIME and ITIMER_VIRTUAL in HiRes.t: the proper
+ way is
+
+ sub has_symbol {
+ my $symbol = shift;
+ eval 'import Time::HiRes qw($symbol)';
+ return 0 unless $@ eq '';
+ return exists ${"Time::HiRes::$symbol"};
+ }
+
+ and then use
+
+ &FOO_BAR
+
+ in the test. All these moves are needed because
+
+ 1) one cannot directly do eval 'Time::HiRes::FOO_BAR'
+ because FOO_BAR might have a true value of zero
+ (or in the general case an empty string or even undef)
+
+ 2) In case FOO_BAR is not available in this platform,
+ &FOO_BAR avoids the bareword warning
+
+ - wait more (1.5 seconds instead of 0.1) for the CLOCK_REALTIME test
+ but expect the 'customary' slop of 0.20 instead of 0.25
+ - fixed inside a comment HAS_POLL -> TIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP
+ - at the end of HiRest.t tell how close we were to termination
+
+1.80 [2005-11-04]
+ - Gisle noticed a mistake (using HAS_NANOSLEEP) in 1.79
+
+1.79 [2005-11-03]
- try nanosleep for emulating usleep -- may help in some weird
embedded realtime places which have nanosleep but neither usleep
nor select nor poll (doesn't have to be weird embedded realtime
SVR4 places that have neither usleep nor select
- a redundant test guard in HiRes.t
-1.78 [2005-10-03]
+1.78 [2005-11-03]
- ITIMER_VIRTUAL detection in HiRes.t had problems (that we cannot
in the general case fail already at 'use' phase is suboptimal)
- fixes to the documentation of clock_gettime() and clock_getres()
-1.77 [2005-10-03]
+1.77 [2005-11-03]
- add support for the POSIX clock_gettime() and clock_getres(),
if available, either as library calls or as syscalls
- be more defensive about missing functionality: break out
- fix the 'hierachy' typo in Makefile.PL [rt.cpan.org #8492]
- should now build in Solaris [rt.cpan.org #7165] (since 1.64)
- should now build in Cygwin [rt.cpan.org #7535] (since 1.64)
- - close also [rt.cpan.org #5933] "Time::HiRes::time does not pick up time adjustments like ntp" since ever reproducing it in the same environment
+ - close also [rt.cpan.org #5933] "Time::HiRes::time does not
+ pick up time adjustments like ntp" since ever reproducing it
+ (and therefore verifying a possible fix) in the same environment
has become rather unlikely
1.65 [2004-09-18]
1.63 [2004-09-01]
- Win32 and any ithread build: ppport.h didn't define
- MY_CXT_CLONE, which seems to be a Time-HiResism.
+ MY_CXT_CLONE, which seems to be a Time-HiRes-ism.
1.62 [2004-08-31]
- Skip testing if under PERL_CORE and Time::HiRes has not
- 13422: XS segfault, from Marc Lehmann
- 13378: whether select() gets restarted on signals, depends
- 13354: timing constraints, again, from Andy Dougherty
- - 13278: can't do subecond alarms with ualarm;
+ - 13278: can't do subsecond alarms with ualarm;
break out early if alarms do not seem to be working
- 13266: test relaxation (cygwin gets lower hires
times than lores ones)
- fix EXPORT_FAIL.
This work was all done by Roderick Schertler
<roderick@argon.org>. If you run Linux or
- one of the other ualarm-less platoforms, and you like this
+ one of the other ualarm-less platforms, and you like this
module, let Roderick know; without him, it still wouldn't
be working on those boxes...
