5388implemented for WinCE).

6629Ivan's description of the patch follows. Note that a few pieces like
6630the GC_malloc(0) patch, were not applied since an alternate had been
6631previously applied.  A few differed stylistically from the rest of
6632the code (mostly casts to void * instead of target type),
6633or were classified as too minor to bother.  Note that
6634all of Ivan's static declarations which did not correct outright
6635naming bugs (as a few did), where replaced by STATIC, which is
6636ignored by default.
6637
6638- minor bug fixing (for FreeBSD, for THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC and for
6639GC_malloc(0));
6640- addition of missing getter/setter functions for public variables
6641(may be useful if compiled as Win32 DLL);
6642- addition of missing GC_API for some exported functions;
6643- addition of missing "static" declarator for internal functions
6644and variables (where possible);
6645- replacement of all remaining K&R-style definitions with ANSI
6646C ones (__STDC__ macro is not used anymore);
6647- addition of some Win32 macro definitions (that may be missing in
6648the standard headers supplied with a compiler) for GWW_VDB mode;
6649- elimination of most compiler warnings (except for
6650"uninitialized data" warning);
6651- several typos correction;
6652- missing parenthesis addition in macros in some header files of
6653"libatomic_ops" module.
6654

6983include/private/gc_priv.h, tests/test_cpp.cc:
6984Replace old style function declarations.  Clean up integral types.

7025Remove now unnecessary dependencies.
7026* include/gc.h (GC_beginthreadex, GC_endthreadex, GC_ExitThread):
7027Move to define on all Windows platforms.  (_beginthread): define
7028to generate error if used.

7031
7032* malloc.c(GC_free): Ignore bad frees on MSWIN32 with REDIRECT_MALLOC.

7052value.
7053
7054
7055== [7.0alpha9] 2007-05-15 ==
7056
7057* Some gc6.9 changes.

7060* Add GC_print_free_list() function (thanks to Bruce Hoult).
7061* Add GC_GNU_THREADS support on HURD (thanks to Aleksey Demakov,
7062Barry DeFreese, and possibly other Debian maintainers).
7063* __GNUC__ was misspelled as __GNUC in thread_local_alloc.h (thanks to
7064Peter Wang).
7065* Integrated various MacOSX patches and tried to reconcile them (thanks to
7066Allan Hsu, several contributors at Apple, and probably others).

7104Spell __declspec correctly.
7105* NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE: Enable thread-local allocation.
7106
7107* doc/README.win32: Adjust GC_win32_dll_threads rules again.

7110GC_started_thread_while_stopped.
7111* misc.c (Win32 GC_write): Lock GC_write_cs only if needed.
7112* win32_threads.c: (client_has_run): remove,

7114(GC_push_all_stacks): Add verbose output.
7115(DllMain): Avoid initializing collector or the like.
7116Never update both thread tables.
7117* doc/README.win32: Adjust GC_win32_dll_threads rules.
7118
7119* pthread_stop_world.c (GC_push_all_stacks): Print thread count with
7120GC_PRINT_VERBOSE_STATS.
7121
7122* configure.ac: Comment out redundant
7123AC_DEFINE(NO_EXECUTE_PERMISSION).
7124* sparc_mach_dep.S: Remove single quote in comment.
7125* include/private/gcconfig.h: Fix DATAEND for NONSTOP.
7126* win32_threads.c: Include stdint.h for Mingw.  Add GC_API for DllMain.
7127(GC_use_DllMain): Fix assertion.
7128

7134
7135* darwin_stop_world.c (GC_push_all_stacks): Fix compiler warnings.
7136Make i unsigned.
7137(GC_stop_world): Likewise. Remove unused GC_thread p.
7138(GC_start_world): Likewise.

7149* README.changes: Point to ChangeLog.
7150
7151* darwin_stop_world.c: Move THREAD_FLD defines to ...
7152* include/private/gc_priv.h: ... here.
7153Fix THREAD_STATE definitions for ppc64.
7154* os_dep.c (catch_exception_raise): Use THREAD_FLD for exc_state member
7155access.
7156
7157* configure.ac (i586-darwin): Replaced HAS_I386_THREAD_STATE_* with
7158HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE32_*.
7159(x86_64-*-darwin*): Extended the above check for x86_64-*-darwin* with
7160HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE64_*.
7161Added value 1 in the above AC_DEFINE's. Important for the upcoming
7162Leopard.
7163* include/private/gcconfig.h: Modified X86_64 define for Darwin.
7164Removed __x86_64__ check in POWERPC section. Added base definitions
7165for the X86_64 Darwin port.
7166* include/private/gc_priv.h: Added GC_MACH_HEADER and GC_MACH_SECTION
7167to distinguish between 32 and 64-bit applications. Added definitions
7168for X86_64 Darwin.
7169* darwin_stop_world.c: Added HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE64___RAX. And
7170replaced HAS_I386_THREAD_STATE___EAX with HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE32___EAX.
7171(GC_push_all_stacks): Added code for X86_64 Darwin. Even for the
7172!DARWIN_DONT_PARSE_STACK. Maybe obsolete.
7173* dyn_load.c (GC_dyld_name_for_hdr): Use GC_MACH_HEADER.
7174(GC_dyld_image_add): Use GC_MACH_HEADER and GC_MACH_SECTION.
7175Distinguish between getsectbynamefromheader_64 and
7176getsectbynamefromheader.
7177* os_dep.c (catch_exception_raise): Introduce exception definition for
7178X86_64 Darwin. Replaced old i386_EXCEPTION_STATE_* definition with
7179x86_EXCEPTION_STATE32_*. Add X86_64 for exc_state.faultvaddr.
7180
7181
7182== [7.0alpha7] 2006-09-19 ==
7183
7184* More 6.7 changes.
7185* Declare GC_dump() in gc.h.
7186* Add --enable-large-config, which just defines the LARGE_CONFIG macro.
7187* Make GlobalAlloc address alignment a bit more intuitive (thanks to
7188Charles Mills).
7189* Use #elif in the definitions of GET_MEM.
7190* Overhaul porting.html.  Remove corresponding text from README.
7191* Fix typo in DARWIN section of gcconfig.h.
7192* Fix Darwin thread memory leak (thanks to Bruce Mitchener).
7193* Update x86 AO_test_and_set implementation to use "=q".
7194* Add $(EXEEXT) to many tests in tests/tests.am.  (Corresponds to a
71956.7 fix, which no longer applied.)
7196* Fix Darwin/PPC port.
7197* Fix Cygwin/threads port.
7198* Fix gcj malloc support.
7199* For GNU-style make, don't build libatomic_ops unless threads are requested.
7200This should allow single-threaded builds on platforms which do not
7201currently support libatomic_ops.
7202* Clean up and hopefully fix the CFLAGS calculation for GNU build.
7203(Substantially improves things on HP/UX.)
7204* Integrated Andrei Polushin's Visual C++ patches.  These provide for
7205stack traces, better C++ debug support, and better log file handling.
7206Note that these change the location of the log file to a the path of the
7207executable with a .log extension.  To get the old behavior back, define
7208OLD_WIN32_LOG_FILE.  For the time being, I'm checking his project
7209files and the like into a windows-untested subdirectory.  They
7210are almost certainly already out of date, but better than what we had
7211before.
7212* Fixed some win32 threads bugs, and added support for _beginthreadex.
7213* Fix zero size thread local allocation so that explicit deallocation
7214works correctly.
7215* Removed serious bug in GC_malloc_uncollectable(large size).
7216* Do not try to do thread-local gcj allocation in incremental mode.  There
7217are races in setting up the descriptor.
7218* Add GC_INIT() to middle.c, fix some more GC_printfn calls.
7219* Some assertions erroneously used I_HOLD_LOCK() negatively, even though
7220it can now spuriously return TRUE.
7221* Rename SUNOS5 macro and OS name to SOLARIS and SUNOS5DL to SOLARISDL.
7222* On Linux and some Un*x variants, allocate memory by first trying sbrk,
7223and then switching to mmap if that fails.
7224* Fixed /proc/x/maps reading to deal with asynchronous deletions.
7225* Fix REDIRECT_MALLOC with threads on Linux.  It now usually seems to work
7226with ugly hacks that include having calloc behave differently when it is
7227called from ld.so or the pthreads library.  A reasonable amount of
7228infrastructure was added to support some of this.  (Thanks to Roland McGrath
7229for ideas and information.)
7230* Import various updated build scripts.
7231* Add GC_register_has_static_roots_callback (thanks to Andrew Haley).
7232* Fix serious bugs in GC_malloc_atomic_uncollectable().
7233* Return GC_SUCCESS form GC_get_stack_base().
7234* Fix several atomic_ops problems on IA64 with HP Compiler.
7235* Update to atomic_ops-1.2.
7236* Fix hb_n_marks description and reclaim.c assertion.
7237* Various additional win32 threads fixes.
7238* Enable GC_ASSERTIONS for Debug build with NT_THREADS_MAKEFILE.
7239
7240
7241== [7.0alpha5] 2005-09-29 ==
7242
7243* More 6.6, 6.7 changes.
7244* Some Solaris fixes, including some more general changes in how
7245the assembly pieces of mach_dep.c are handled.
7246* Removed a lot of SOLARIS_THREADS-specific code that was only
7247needed with the old implementation.  This included many (mostly no-op)
7248versions of GC_is_fresh.
7249* Don't use atomic_ops in gc_locks.h unless we need threads.
7250* Fixed USE_MARK_BITS, which is once again the default without PARALLEL_MARK.
7251* Removed Solaris GC_INIT hack.  It's a workaround for a long dead bug,
7252and it seemed to be wrong anyway.
7253* Changed win32_threads.c to require preprocessor-based interception
7254of thread routines by default.  A client call to GC_use_DllMain is
7255now required to get the old behavior in which DllMain is used to implicitly
7256register threads.  This was done for uniformity with other platforms, and
7257because the DllMain solution seemed to require very tricky code which,
7258at least in the past, imposed hard bounds on the number of threads.
7259* Many small changes to make thread support work again on Cygwin.
7260* Moved definition of allocator lock etc. to pthread_support.c and
7261win32_threads.c for those two cases.
7262* Got rid of the FASTLOCK() machinery.  It doesn't seem useful on modern
7263platforms.
7264* Cleaned up the uncollectible allocation routines, speeding up the
7265slower paths.  The code did enough unnecessary work off the critical path
7266that the underlying logic was getting hard to extract.
7267* No longer turn off THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC with DBG_HDRS_ALL.  Indications
7268are it just works, and I think the reasons for it not working disappeared
7269a while ago.
7270* Fixed bugs in hb_n_marks calculation and assertion.
7271* Don't use __builtin_expect for pre-3.0 gcc.
7272* Define GWW_VDB only for recent Microsoft tool chains.
7273* Add overview.html to doc directory.
7274* Fix NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE, various compiler warnings.
7275* Made thread local allocation sort of work with Cygwin.  The code should
7276be there to deal with other Windows variants, But non-Cygwin Windows
7277threads need more bug fixes.
7278
7279
7280== [7.0alpha4] 2005-08-02 ==
7281
7282* Various 6.5, 6.6 changes.
7283* Removed GC_brief_async_signal_safe_sleep and used atomic_ops instead
7284(thanks to Ben Maurer).
7285* Integrated build patches from Davide Angelocola and Petter Urkedal.
7286* Fix dynamic-linker-based pthread call redirection.
7287* Renamed RS6000 to POWERPC/AIX.
7288* Allow recovery from SIGSEGV in marker on Linux.  This works around
7289a race in thread stack marking if /proc is used to find roots.  We do
7290that by default with malloc redirection and threads.  This involved
7291moving some GC_find_limit and SETJMP related declarations to gc_priv.h.
7292* Added doc/porting.html file.
7293* Added ADD_HEAP_GUARD_PAGES for sbrk/*nix platforms to debug extreme
7294memory overwrite errors.
7295* Added trivial NO_INCREMENTAL flag to facilitate debugging.
7296* Added GC_getattr_np-based GC_get_stack_base (untested).
7297* Separated thread local allocation into a separate file and added the
7298beginning of win32 support for that.
7299
7300
7301== [7.0alpha3] 2005-04-28 ==
7302
7303* Added support for dlopen-based interception of pthread functions.
7304This is only half done.  The gc.h redefinitions currently interfere.
7305* Integrated major automake overhaul from Petter Urkedal.
7306
7307
7308== [7.0alpha2] 2005-04-07 ==
7309
7310* GC_bytes_allocd was incremented by a possibly uninitialized variable
7311in GC_generic_malloc_inner.  (Bug introduced in gc7.0alpha1.  Thanks
7312to Ben Hutchings for tracking it down.)
7313* Win32 fixes (thanks to Ben Hutchings and Maurizio Vairani).
7314* Integrated Ben Hutchings' GetWriteWatch-based virtual dirty bit
7315implementation for win32.
7316* Removed pc_gc.tar and floppy targets in Makefile.direct.  Removed
7317pc_excludes file.
7318* No longer include GC_bytes_wasted when evaluating allocation progress.
7319Since we are now counting live memory, it no longer makes sense.
7320* Applied Davide Angelocola's configure patch.  There are now separate
7321Makefile.am's in the cord and tests subdirectory, more tests, etc.
7322* Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
7323* Merged a very small number of Nathanael Nerode's configure.ac
7324cleanups from the gcc tree.  Unfortunately, that file is a bit
7325different from ours.
7326* Changed EINTR handling in sem_wait slightly.
7327* Restructure the root marking code.  Remove all traces of
7328USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS, and effectively make it the default.
7329Make it easier to pass a context pointer to the mark routine, in
7330case we ever want to do precise stack marking.
7331* Replace GC_start_blocking() and GC_end_blocking() with GC_do_blocking().
7332This remains undocumented, and only implemented for pthreads.  But it
7333removes an otherwise unavoidable race with stores of callee-save
7334registers.
7335* Fix GC_n_mark_bits for the default MARK_BIT_PER_GRANULE case.  This
7336resulted in bogus complaints in heap dumps.
7337* Upgrade to libatomic_ops-1.0, and update build structure to match.
7338* Remove SRC_M3 support. Clean up lock initialization code in misc.c.
7339* Removed gc_local_alloc.h.  If THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC is defined, the
7340thread local allocation routines are now called automatically.
7341* Renamed gc_inl.h back to gc_inline.h.  Changed the interface appreciably
7342since locking has turned into a dominant issue, and in-line allocation
7343only makes sense if it's no worse than thread-local allocation.
7344Gc_inline.h is now also used to implement thread-local allocation.
7345* Finished replacing stubborn allocation with manual write barrier.
7346Untested.
7347* Use thread-local allocation code by default.
7348* Added GC_register_my_thread and friends for Posix and win32.
7349* Patch for GWW_VDB from Ben Hutchings.
7350* Removed explicit THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC tests, since that now always
7351redefines GC_malloc.
7352* Removed now unused AIX memory allocation code.
7353* Various minor fixes for bugs introduced in 7.0alpha1.
7354
7355
7356== [7.0alpha1] 2004-11-09 ==
7357
7358* Remove GC_PROTO, VOLATILE, GC_PTR, and GC_CONST.  Assume ANSI C compiler
7359and use ANSI constructs unconditionally.
7360* Introduce #elif and #error in some of the appropriate places.
7361* Remove GC_printf cruft. Use stdargs.
7362* Remove separate Solaris threads support.  Use the more generic Posix
7363implementation.
7364* Use atomic_ops for atomic operations and memory barriers.
7365* Clean up MPROTECT_VDB implementation.  Use SA_SIGINFO wherever
7366possible.
7367* Remove broken SIGNALS stuff.
7368* Use size_t instead of word, where appropriate.
7369* Add .S.o rule to Makefile.am.
7370* Officially discontinue SunOS4, several old flavors of M68K (SunOS4,
7371A/UX, HP), IBM PC/RTs and RISCOS/Irix4.  (I doubt the old code worked.
7372If anyone cares, these should be easy to resurrect.)
7373* Add EXPECT() in some critical places.
7374* Redefined hb_sz and hb_body to deal with bytes rather than words.
7375This affected a great deal of code.  I would like to consistently use
7376byte offsets and sizes where there's not a convincing reason to do
7377otherwise.
7378* Redefined several other variables (GC_mem_found, GC_words_allocd)
7379etc. to use units of bytes.  Most of these were also renamed to
7380reflect that fact.
7381* Killed as many "register" declarations as possible.
7382* Partially replaced stubborn allocation with manual write barrier.
7383It's currently broken.
7384* Restructured mark code, to allow mark bits to be kept either on
7385a per allocation granule or per object basis.  The emphasis is
7386now on the -DUSE_MARK_BYTES option, since individual bits perform
7387quite badly on hyper-threaded P4s, and are probably suboptimal on
7388other architectures.  -DUSE_MARK_BITS is currently broken, and may
7389be resurrected only for the single-threaded case.  This significantly
7390reduced the cache footprint required by auxiliary GC data structures.
7391It also reduces space overhead for small heaps.  It probably slows
7392things down slightly if interior pointers are very common.
7393* As part of the above, we now maintain an approximate count of set
7394mark bits in each heap block.
7395* As part of the above, the semantics of hb_map changed drastically.
7396For MARK_BIT_PER_OBJ, it doesn't exist.  For MARK_BIT_PER_GRANULE,
7397it is purely a way to replace a mod instruction with a table lookup.
7398(Somewhat to my surprise, this still wins on modern hardware.)
7399* Removed PRINTSTATS, GATHERSTATS, and SILENT macros.  Everything is
7400now controlled by GC_print_stats variable and GC_PRINT_STATS
7401and new GC_PRINT_VERBOSE_STATS environment variables.
7402* Add GC_log_printf and use it consistently for logging output.
7403* Unconditionally count the objects we reclaim in the sweep phase.
7404For thread local allocation, we need that anyway, and we expect
7405that's increasingly the only case that matters.  And it simplifies
7406the code.  In general expect minor performance hacks that benefit
7407only the single-threaded case to disappear.
7408* Remove GC_quiet from gc.h and elsewhere.
7409* Changed the heap expansion heuristic, and the definition of
7410GC_free_space_divisor, to refer to live data size, instead of total
7411heap size.  I believe this is much more robust.  It wasn't previously
7412possible, because we didn't have access to live data size.
7413* Thread local allocation added the extra byte in twice: Once in
7414thread_local_alloc, and once in malloc_many.
7415* Removed GC_malloc_words_small and GC_gcj_fast_malloc.  A new
7416mechanism based on the thread local allocation data structures
7417is expected to be added instead.  This should allow inlined code
7418that is both fast and doesn't rely on collector internals.
7419* Changed both free lists and reclaim lists to be indexed by granules
7420instead of words, norming halving their size.
7421* MERGE_SIZE is now the only option, and the macro was removed.
7422(Without it, we need a memory reference to GC_all_interior_pointers
7423anyway.  Thus it costs us nothing.)
7424* Change GC_size_map to map to granules instead of words.  Make sure
7425that every possible size up to TINY_FREELISTS is present.
7426* Split of macros need for fast inline allocation into gc_tiny_fl.h
7427in anticipation of a new inline allocator that doesn't rely on GC
7428internals.
7429* Changed thread local allocation to use GRANULE_BYTES and TINY_FREELISTS
7430in anticipation of a merge with the inline allocation code.
7431* Removed ALIGN_DOUBLE.  This is mostly handled by GRANULE_BYTES.
7432* Make locking on most platforms conditional on GC_need_to_lock.
7433
7434
7435== [6.9] ==
7436
7437* Fix typo in PREFETCH implementation for X86_64 (thanks to Peter Wang).
7438* Fix M68K LINUX port (thanks to Debian packagers).
7439* __GNUC__ was misspelled as __GNUC in new_gc_alloc.h (thanks to Peter Wang).
7440* Integrated Allan Hsu's patch for OS X VM deallocation problems.
7441* Applied FreeBSD/X86_64 patch.
7442
7443
7444== [6.8] 2006-07-08 ==
7445
7446* Added some support for Dragonfly BSD (thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger and
7447Thomas Klausner).
7448* Improvements to the HP/UX section of configure.in/configure.ac (thanks
7449to Andreas Tobler).
7450* GC_unix_get_mem could neglect to release the malloc lock on Irix, under
7451extremely unlikely circumstances.  (Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Nivois for
7452some careful code inspection.)
7453* Added support for kFreeBSD + glibc (thanks to Petr Salinger).
7454* Fix more MacOS threads memory leaks (thanks to Allan Hsu).
7455* Added initial Solaris/X86-64 support (thanks to Rainer Orth).
7456
7457
7458== [6.7] 2006-03-03 ==
7459
7460* Add "int" to Solaris "end" and "etext" declaration in gc.h.  Declared
7461the symbols with underscores and as arrays, since that's what's actually
7462used.  Perhaps this could all just be removed.  (Thanks to John Bowman.)
7463* Fixed ARM GC_test_and_set code (thanks to Kazu Hirata and Paul Brook).
7464* Added casts for assignments to hb_last_reclaimed, which truncate the
7465value.  Added a cast to GC_adj_words_allocd.  Use GetModuleHandleA
7466when retrieving a handle to kernel32.dll under win32.
7467* Added Tandem S-Series support.  (Thanks to Craig McDaniel.  A modified
7468version of his patch was applied, and hence breakage is probably not
7469his fault.)
7470* Remove spurious gc:: qualifier for operator delete[] in gc_cpp.h (thanks
7471to Hanno Boeck).
7472* Changed a test for LINUX in config_macros.h to one for __linux__.
7473* Add prototypes for GC_finalizer_notifier and GC_thr_init (thanks to
7474David Ayers).
7475* Use ld instead of nonexistent ldz instruction in Darwin FindTopOfStack
7476(thanks to Andreas Tobler).
7477* Add support for Darwin/X86 (thanks to Geoff Norton and the Mono
7478developers).
7479* Merge in some recent gcc fixes.  Add ppc64 asm code.  (Thanks to
7480Bryce McKinlay and other GCJ developers.)
7481* Scan MEM_PRIVATE sections under Windows ME and predecessors.
7482* Interior pointers with some largish offsets into large objects could
7483be ignored, if GC_all_interior_pointers was set.  (Oddly this worked
7484correctly for stack references if it was not set.  Otherwise it failed
7485for both stack and heap references.  Thanks to Andrew McKinlay for the
7486critical test case.)
7487* Integrated Tatsuya Bizenn's NETBSD threads support, with some
7488untested changes.
7489* Added GC_strdup and friends to make leak detection work correctly
7490for strdup clients (thanks to Jon Moore).  Fixed the existing strdup
7491with malloc redirection to handle a null malloc return correctly.
7492
7493
7494== [6.6] 2005-09-09 ==
7495
7496* Fix CPU count detection for Irix and FreeBSD (thanks to Dan Bonachea).
7497* Integrate Dan Bonachea's patch for the IBM XLC compiler on Darwin.
7498* Integrated Andreas Tobler's FreeBSD/PowerPC patch.
7499* Don't access the GC thread structure from the restart handler.  It's
7500unsafe, since the handler may run too late.  (Thanks to Ben Maurer for
7501tracking this down.)
7502* Applied Christian Thalinger's patch to change comment syntax in
7503alpha_mach_dep.S.
7504* Added test for GC_no_dls in GC_dyld_image_add for DARWIN (thanks to
7505Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll).
7506* Use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM for Linux/SH and LINUX/ARM (thanks to
7507Sugioka Toshinobu and Christian Thalinger).
7508* Rewrote GC_parse_map_entry.  This assumed a fixed column layout of
7509/proc/self/maps on Linux.  This ceased to be true about 2 years ago.
7510The old code is probably quite problematic with -DREDIRECT_MALLOC.  It
7511is also used by default for IA64, though I haven't seen actual failures
7512there.
7513* More consistently define HBLKSIZE to 4096 on 64 bit architectures with
75144K pages (thanks to Andrew Haley).
7515* With win32 threads, GC_stop_world needs to acquire GC_write_cs (thanks
7516to Ben Hutchings for the observation and patch).
7517* Move up struct callinfo declaration to make gcc 4.0.2 happy.
7518
7519
7520== [6.5] 2005-05-22 ==
7521
7522* Integrated Paolo Molaro's patch to deal with EINTR in sem_wait.
7523* Make GC_approx_sp() write to dummy location to ensure that stack
7524is grown here, when sp looks reasonable, rather than later, when
7525it might look like a bad memory reference.  (Problem was never
7526observed that I know of.  But on rereading the code it seemed
7527dubious.)
7528* Separate out GC_with_callee_saves_pushed and sometimes call
7529it from GC_suspend_handler in pthread_stop_world.c.  Callee-save
7530register values sometimes failed to get traced under HP/UX on
7531PA-RISC.  Linux/IA64 had the same problem, though non-stacked
7532callee-save registers seem to be so rarely used there that nobody
7533ever noticed.
7534* Integrated an ancient Darwin powerpc_darwin_machine_dep.s patch
7535from Andreas Tobler, which I had lost.
7536* Fix compare_and_exchange implementation for gcc/IA64 to deal with
7537pickier compiler versions.
7538* Fixed Itanium 32-bit ABI support (HP/UX).  In particular, the
7539compare_and_exchange implementation didn't consider that possibility.
7540* Undefine GC_pthread_detach in win32_threads.c (thanks to
7541Tommaso Tagliapietra).
7542* Fixed inclusion of frame.h for NETBSD in os_dep.c.
7543* Applied Dan Bonachea's patch to use mmap on AIX.
7544* Several fixes to resurrect the Irix port on recent OS versions.
7545* Change ALPHA to use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.
7546* Change SPARC64/LINUX to also use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.  Deal with potential
7547bad values of __libc_stack_end on that platform (thanks to David Miller).
7548* Relax gctest to allow larger heap if ALIGN_DOUBLE isn't set.
7549(Unnecessary in 7.0)
7550* Force a define of __STDC__=0 for the IBM compiler on AIX, so that
7551we get prototypes.  (Unnecessary in 7.0)
7552* GC_INIT definition for AIX and CYGWIN referred to DATASTART and DATAEND
7553which are only defined in private include files.
7554* Integrated some small gcconfig.h patches from Dan Bonachea.  Also
7555relaxed assertion about FreeBSD stack size in pthread_support.c.
7556* Integrated Andrew Begel's darwin_stop_world.c patch for 64-bit
7557support.  This may need additional work.
7558* Avoided potentially infinite recursion in GC_save_callers if
7559the system backtrace calls malloc.  The workaround currently requires
7560__thread support if this code is used with threads.
7561* Avoided another similar infinite recursion by conditionally
7562invoking GC_save_callers in alloc.c (thanks to Matthias Andree
7563for helping to track down both of these).
7564* Removed all traces of aix_irix_threads.c.  AIX and Irix now use
7565pthread_support.c and pthread_stop_world.c.  The old code appeared
7566to be unreliable for AIX, and was not regularly maintained.
7567* On Irix, ignore segments with MA_FETCHOP or MA_NOTCACHED attributed;
7568they're not always safe to read.
7569* Fixed a previously vacuous assertion (diagnosed by the SGI compiler)
7570in GC_remove_from_fl.
7571* Fix stack_size assertion in GC_pthread_create.
7572* Fix assertion in GC_steal_mark_stack.
7573
7574
7575== [6.4] 2004-12-21 ==
7576
7577* Merge gcconfig.h changes from gcc tree.
7578* Unconditionally include gc_priv.h in solaris_pthreads.c, win32_threads.h,
7579aix_irix_threads.c, and solaris_threads.c to get thread definitions.
7580* Start marker threads in GC_thr_init, so that they get started even
7581if no other threads are ever started.  (Oddly enough, the parallel
7582collector worked correctly, though not well, with no helper threads.)
7583* Go ahead and split large blocks in GC_allochblk_nth if GC_dont_gc
7584is set (thanks to Alexander Petrossian).
7585* GC_PRINT_BACK_HEIGHT would deadlock with thread support.
7586* Let in_progress_space in backgraph.s grow dynamically.
7587* Fix README.solaris2.  The GC_thr_init() hack doesn't work anymore.
7588* Convert GC_finalizer_mem_freed to bytes in allchblk.c.
7589* Add missing declaration for GC_generic_malloc_words_small_inner.
7590Without it, s390x breaks.  (Thanks to Ulrich Weigand.)
7591* Applied several MacOSX patches to support older tool chains (thanks
7592to Stefan Ring).
7593* Bug fix for NetBSD/amd64 (thanks to Marc Recht).
7594* Add NetBSD/sh3 support (thanks to Uchiyama Yasushi).
7595* Fixed an uninitialized variable in cordprnt.c.
7596* Eliminated some, but not all, gcc -Wall warnings.
7597* Changed some old style casts to reinterpret_cast in new_gc_alloc.h
7598(thanks to Dan Grayson).
7599* GC_extend_size_map shouldn't adjust for GC_all_interior_pointers if
7600GC_DONT_ADD_BYTE_AT_END is set.
7601* Changed some (long) casts to (word) in preparation for win64 (thanks
7602to Peter Colson).
7603* Changed "int stack_size" declaration in pthread_support.c to use
7604size_t.  (Only mattered with GC_ASSERTIONS enabled.)
7605* Added CRIS (etrax) support (thanks to Simon Posnjak and Hans-Peter Nilsson).
7606* Removed GC_IGNORE_FB frame buffer recognition, and replaced
7607it with a check that the mapping type is MEM_IMAGE.
7608In theory, this should work much better, but it is a high
7609risk change for win32.  (Thanks to Ashley Bone for the crucial
7610experimental data behind this, and to Rutger Ovidius for
7611some further experiments.)
7612* GC_allochblk_nth incremented GC_words_wasted by bytes rather than
7613words.
7614* Consider GC_words_wasted in GC_adj_words_allocd only if it is within
7615reason.  (A hack to avoid some extremely unlikely scenarios in which
7616we manage to allocate only "wasted" space.  7.0 has a better fix.)
7617* Changed PowerPC GC_clear implementation to use lwsync instead of
7618eieio, since the documentation recommends against eieio, and
7619it seems to be incorrect if the preceding memory op is a load.
7620* Fixed print_block_list to print the correct kind number for
7621STUBBORN (thanks to Rutger Ovidius).
7622* Have configure.in generate an error if it is asked to support
7623pthreads, but doesn't know how to.
7624* Added Kazuhiro Inaoka's patch for Renesas M32R support.
7625* Have the GNU build mechanism link with -ldl.  Rename THREADLIBS
7626to THREADDLLIBS to reflect this.  (Thanks to Sven Verdoolaege.)
7627* Added Hannes Mehnert's patch for FreeBSD/SPARC support.
7628* Merged some FreeBSD specific patches to threadlibs.c and dyn_load.c.
7629(Thanks to John Merryweather Cooper.)
7630* Define MPROTECT_VDB on MACOSX only if threads are being used, since the
7631dirty page tracking mechanism uses threads.  (This avoids an undefined
7632reference to _GC_darwin_register_mach_handler_thread.)
7633* By popular demand, use __libc symbols only if we are built with
7634USE_LIBC_PRIVATES, which is off by default, and not otherwise documented.
7635* Ignore GC_enable_incremental() requests when KEEP_BACK_PTRS is set.
7636The GC itself will dirty lots of pages in this cases, probably making
7637it counterproductive on all platforms.  And the DARWIN port crashes.
7638
7639
7640== [6.3] 2004-07-08 ==
7641
7642* Compile test_cpp.cc with CXXCOMPILE instead of COMPILE.
7643* Very large allocations could cause a collector hang.  Correct
7644calculation of GC_collect_at_heapsize.
7645* GC_print_hblkfreelist printed some bogus results if USE_MUNMAP
7646was defined.
7647* Include gc_config_macros.h in threadlibs.c.
7648* Correct MacOSX thread stop code (thanks to Dick Porter).
7649* SMALL_OBJ definition was off by one.  This could cause crashes
7650at startup.  (Thanks to Zoltan Varga for narrowing this down to
7651a trivial test case.)
7652* Integrate Paolo Molaro's patch to deal with a race in the Darwin
7653thread stopping code.
7654* Changed X86_64 implementation to use SA_SIGINFO in the MPROTECT_VDB
7655implementation.  The old approach appears to have been broken by
7656recent kernels.
7657* Added GC_ATTR_UNUSED to eliminate a warning in gc_allocator.h (thanks
7658to Andrew Begel).
7659* Fix GC_task_self declaration in os_dep.c (thanks to Andrew Pinski).
7660* Increase INITIAL_BUF_SZ in os_dep.c for Solaris /proc reads.
7661
7662
7663== [6.3alpha6] 2004-05-06 ==
7664
7665* Define USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS for NetBSD/M68K.
7666* Fixed the X86_64 PREFETCH macros to correctly handle ia32e (which uses
7667different prefetch instructions from AMD64).  (Thanks to H.J. Lu.)
7668* GC_config_macros.h did not correctly define GC_WIN32_THREADS from
7669GC_THREADS.
7670* Added simple_example.html.
7671* Merged Andrew Gray's patch to correctly restore signal handlers on
7672FreeBSD.
7673* Merged a patch from Andreas Jaeger to deal with prefetch-related warnings
7674on x86-64.  Added some other casts so that the PREFETCH macros
7675always get a ptr_t argument.  Removed some casts in the PREFETCH
7676implementations.
7677* Added a header guard for gc_allocator.h and changed GC_debug_free to
7678clobber contents of deallocated object (suggested by Jesse Jones).
7679* The signal masking code in pthread_stop_world.c contained some errors.
7680In particular SIGSEGV was masked in the handler, in spite of the fact that
7681it wrote to the heap.  This could lead to an uncaught SIGSEGV, which
7682apparently became much more likely in Linux 2.6.  Also fixed some
7683typos, and reduced code duplication in the same area.
7684* Remove ltconfig, clean up configure messages for DG/UX (thanks to
7685Adrian Bunk for the patches).
7686* Integrated NetBSD/OpenBSD patches from Marc Recht and Matthias Drochner.
7687
7688
7689== [6.3alpha5] 2004-03-30 ==
7690
7691* Fix & vs && typo in GC_generic_malloc and
7692GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page.  (Propagated from the gcc tree.)
7693* Removed SA_NODEFER hack from NetBSD and Solaris write-protect handler.
7694(According to Christian Limpach, the NetBSD problem is fixed.
7695Presumably so is the Solaris 2.3 problem.)
7696* Removed placement delete from gc_cpp.h for the SGI compiler (thanks
7697to Simon Gornall for the patch).
7698* Changed semantics of the GC_IGNORE_FB environment variable, based
7699on experimentation by Nicolas Cannasse pointing out that the old
7700interpretation was useless.  We still need help in identifying win32
7701graphics memory mappings.  The current "solution" is a hack.
7702* Removed "MAKEOVERRIDES =" from Makefile.am and thus Makefile.in.
7703It probably made more sense in the gcc context.
7704* Explicitly ensure that NEED_FIND_LIMIT is defined for {Open,Net}BSD/ELF.
7705* Replaced USE_HPUX_TLS macro by USE_COMPILER_TLS, since gcc often
7706supports the same extension on various platforms.
7707* Added some basic (completely untested) defines for win64, in support
7708of future work.
7709* Declared GC_jmp_buf in os_dep.s as JMP_BUF instead of jmp_buf, fixing
7710a memory overwrite bug on Solaris and perhaps other platforms.
7711* Added 0 != __libc_stack_end test to GC_linux_stack_base (thanks to
7712Jakub Jelinek for the patch and explaining the problem).
7713Otherwise pre-linking could cause the collector to fail.
7714* Changed default thread local storage implementation to USE_PTHREAD_SPECIFIC
7715for HP/UX with gcc.  The compiler-based implementation appears to work
7716only with the vendor compiler.
7717* Export GC_debug_header_size and GC_USR_PTR_FROM_BASE from gc_mark.h,
7718making client mark code cleaner and less dependent on GC version.
7719* Export several new procedures and GC_generic_malloc from gc_mark.h
7720to support user-defined kinds.  Use the new procedures to replace existing
7721code in gcj_mlc.c and typd_mlc.c.
7722* Added support for GC_BACKTRACES.
7723* Fixed a remaining problem in CORD_str with signed characters (thanks
7724to Alexandr Petrosian for the patch).
7725* Removed supposedly redundant, but very buggy, definitions of finalizer
7726macros from javaxfc.h.  Fortunately this file probably has no users.
7727The correct declarations were already in gc.h.
7728* Also need to set GC_in_thread_creation while waiting for GC during
7729thread termination, since it is also possible to collect from an
7730unregistered thread in that case.
7731* Define NO_GETENV for Windows CE, since getenv doesn't appear to exist.
7732Plus some other minor WinCE fixes (thanks to Alain Novak).
7733* Added GC_register_describe_type_fn.
7734* Arrange for debugging finalizer registration to ignore non-heap
7735registrations, since the regular version of the routine also behaves
7736that way.
7737* GC_gcj_malloc and friends need to check for finalizers waiting to be run.
7738One of the more obscure allocation routines with missing a LOCK() call.
7739* Fixed cvtres invocations in NT_MAKEFILE and NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE
7740to work with VS.NET.
7741* Cleaned up GC_INIT calls in test.  Updated gc.man to encourage GC_INIT
7742use in portable code.
7743* Taught the GC to use libunwind if --enable-full-debug is specified on
7744IA64 and libunwind is present.
7745* The USE_MUNMAP code could get confused about the age of a block and
7746prematurely unmap it.  GC_unmap_old had a bug related to wrapping of
7747GC_gc_no.  GC_freehblk and GC_merge_unmapped didn't maintain
7748hb_last_reclaimed reasonably when blocks were merged.  The code was
7749fixed to reflect original intent, but that may not always be an
7750improvement.
7751
7752
7753== [6.3alpha4] 2004-01-01 ==
7754
7755* USE_MMAP was broken by confusion in the code dealing with USE_MMAP_ANON.
7756* Darwin support was broken in alpha3 as a result of my mis-integration of
7757Andrew Begel's patches.  Fixed with another patch from Andrew Begel.
7758* A new sanity check in pthread_stop_world.c:GC_push_all_stacks() was
7759overly aggressive.  We may collect from an unregistered thread during
7760thread creation.  Fixed by explicitly checking for that case.  (Added
7761GC_in_thread_creation.)
7762
7763
7764== [6.3alpha3] 2003-12-20 ==
7765
7766* Removed -DSMALL_CONFIG from BCC_MAKEFILE.
7767* Changed macros to test for an ARM processor (Patch from Richard Earnshaw.)
7768* Mostly applied a DJGPP patch from Doug Kaufman.  Especially Makefile.dj
7769had suffered from serious bit rot.
7770* Rewrote GC_apply_to_maps, eliminating an off-by-one subscript error,
7771and a call to alloca (for lcc compatibility).
7772* Changed USE_MUNMAP behavior on POSIX platforms to immediately remap
7773the memory with PROT_NONE instead of unmapping it.  The latter risks
7774an intervening mmap grabbing the address space out from underneath us.
7775Updated this code to reflect a cleaner patch from Ulrich Drepper.
7776* Replaced _T with _Tp in new_gc_alloc.h to avoid a MACOS X conflict.
7777(Patch from Andrew Begel.)
7778* Dynamically choose whether or not lock should spin on win32 (thanks
7779to Maurizio Vairani for the patch).  This may be a significant performance
7780improvement for win32.
7781* Fix Makefile.direct to actually include NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE
7782in the distribution (thanks to Maurizio Vairani).
7783* Maybe_install_looping_handler() was accidentally exported, violating
7784our name space convention.
7785* Made os_dep.c use sigsetjmp and SA_NODEFER for NetBSD.  (Thanks to
7786Christian Limpach.  I generalized the patch to use sigsetjmp on all
7787UNIX_LIKE platforms, admittedly a slightly risky move.  But it may avoid
7788similar problems on some other platforms.  I also cleaned up the definition
7789of UNIX_LIKE a bit.)
7790* Integrated Andrew Begel's Darwin threads patch, adjusted according to
7791some of Fergus Hendersons's comments.  (Patch didn't apply cleanly,
7792errors are possible.)
7793* Added another test or two for the Intel 8.0 compiler to avoid
7794confusing it with gcc.  The single-threaded collector should now build
7795with icc, at least on ia64.
7796
7797
7798== [6.3alpha2] 2003-11-04 ==
7799
7800* Re-enabled I_HOLD_LOCK assertion in aix_irix_threads.h.
7801* Put back the WINABI qualifier for GC_CreateThread.  (Thanks to
7802Danny Smith for the patch.  6.3alpha1 had the qualifier in one place
7803but not elsewhere, which was clearly wrong.)
7804* Sometimes explicitly define __private_extern__ before DARWIN dyld.h
7805include.  (Thanks to Andreas Tobler for posting the patch.)
7806* Included signal.h from pthread_support.c.  Removed GC_looping_handler,
7807which was dead code.
7808* GC_find_start was misdeclared by gc_pmark.h if PRINT_BLACK_LIST was
7809defined (thanks to Glauco Masotti for testing and reporting this).
7810Changed GC_find_start to never just return 0.  According to its
7811comment it doesn't, and it's unclear that's correct.
7812* GC_alloc_large had several largely compensating bugs in the
7813computation of GC_words_wasted.  (It was confused about bytes vs.
7814words in two places.)
7815* Integrated Slava Sysoltsev's patch to support more recent versions of
7816the Intel compiler on IA64/Linux.
7817* Changed win32 spinlock initialization to conditionally set a spin count.
7818(Emmanual Stumpf pointed out that enabling this makes a large performance
7819difference on win32 multiprocessors.)  Also cleaned up the win32 spinlock
7820initialization code a bit.
7821* Fixed thread support for HP/UX/IA64.  The register backing store base for
7822the main thread was sometimes not set correctly.  (Thanks to
7823Laurent Morichetti.)
7824* Added -DEMPTY_GETENV_RESULTS flag to work around Wine problem.
7825* Declare GC_stack_alloc and GC_stack_free in solaris_threads.h to
7826avoid 64-bit size mismatches (thanks to Bernie Solomon).
7827* Fixed GC_generic_push_regs to avoid a potential and very unfortunate
7828tail call optimization.  This could lead to prematurely reclaimed
7829objects on configurations that used the generic routine and the new
7830build infrastructure (which potentially optimizes mach_dep.c).
7831This was a serious bug, but it's unclear whether it has resulted in
7832any real failures.
7833* Fixed CORD_str to deal with signed characters (thanks to Alexandr Petrosian
7834for noticing the problem and supplying the patch).
7835* Merged a couple of NOSYS/ECOS tests into os_dep.c from gcj (thanks
7836to Anthony Green).
7837* Partially merged a win32 patch from Ben Hutchings, and substantially
7838revised other parts of win32_threads.c.  It had several problems.
7839Under MinGW with a statically linked library, the main thread was
7840not registered.  Cygwin detached threads leaked thread descriptors.
7841There were several race conditions.  For now, unfortunately the
7842static threads limit remains, though we increased it, and made table
7843traversal cost depend on the actual thread count.
7844There is also still some code duplication with pthread_support.c.
7845(Thread descriptors did become much smaller, since Ben Hutchings
7846removed the thread context from them.)
7847* Integrated a Solaris configure.in patch from Rainer Orth.
7848* Added GC_IGNORE_FB and associated warning to very partially address
7849the issue of the collector treating a mapped frame buffer as part
7850of the root set.  (Thanks to David Peroutka for providing some
7851insight.  More would be helpful.  Is there anything that can be used
7852to at least partially identify such memory segments?)
7853
7854
7855== [6.3alpha1] 2003-07-26 ==
7856
7857* Integrated some NetBSD patches by Marc Recht.  These
7858were already in the NetBSD package.
7859* GC_pthread_create waited for the semaphore even if pthread_create failed.
7860(Thanks to Dick Porter for the pthread_support.c patch.)  Applied the
7861analogous fix for aix_irix_threads.c.
7862* Added Rainer Orth's Tru64 fixes.
7863* The check for exceeding the thread table size in win32 threadDetach
7864was incorrect (thanks to Alexandr Petrosian for the patch).
7865* Applied Andrew Begel's patch to correct some reentrancy issues
7866with dynamic loading on Darwin.
7867* GC_CreateThread() was neglecting to duplicate the thread handle in
7868the table (thanks to Tum Nguyen for the patch).
7869* Pass +ESdbgasm only on PA-RISC machines with vendor compiler (thanks to
7870Roger Sayle for the patch).
7871* Applied more AIX threads patches from Scott Ananian.
7872
7873
7874== [6.2] 2003-06-21 ==
7875
7876* Integrated a second round of Irix/AIX patches from Dan Bonachea.
7877Renamed mips_sgi_mach_dep.S back to mips_sgi_mach_dep.s, since it requires
7878the Irix assembler to do the C preprocessing; gcc -E doesn't work.
7879* Fixed Makefile.direct for DARWIN (thanks to Manuel Serrano).
7880* There was a race between GC_pthread_detach and thread exit that could
7881result in a thread structure being deallocated by GC_pthread_detach
7882even though it was still needed by the thread exit code (thanks to
7883Dick Porter for the small test case that allowed this to be debugged).
7884* Fixed version parsing for non-alpha versions in acinclude.m4 and
7885version checking in version.h.
7886* Issues identified (not yet fixed):
7887- A dynamic libgc.so references dlopen unconditionally, but doesn't link
7888against libdl.
7889- GC_proc_fd for Solaris is not correctly updated in response to a
7890fork() call.  Thus incremental collection in the child won't work
7891correctly.  (Thanks to Ben Cottrell for pointing this out.)
7892- --enable-redirect-malloc is mostly untested and known not to work
7893on some platforms.
7894- There seem to be outstanding issues on Solaris/X86, possibly with
7895finding the data segment starting address.
7896- Very large root set sizes (> 16 MB or so) could cause the collector
7897to abort with an unexpected mark stack overflow.  (Thanks to
7898Peter Chubb.)  NOT YET FIXED.  Workaround is to increase the initial
7899size.
7900- The SGI version of the collector marks from mmapped pages, even
7901if they are not part of dynamic library static data areas.  This
7902causes performance problems with some SGI libraries that use mmap
7903as a bitmap allocator.  NOT YET FIXED.  It may be possible to turn
7904off DYNAMIC_LOADING in the collector as a workaround.  It may also
7905be possible to conditionally intercept mmap and use GC_exclude_static_roots.
7906The real fix is to walk rld data structures, which looks possible.
7907- Incremental collector should handle large objects better.  Currently,
7908it looks like the whole object is treated as dirty if any part of it is.
7909
7910
7911== [6.2alpha6] 2003-06-05 ==
7912
7913* There was an extra underscore in the name of GC_save_registers_in_stack
7914for NetBSD/SPARC (thanks to Jaap Boender for the patch).
7915* Integrated Brian Alliet's patch for Darwin.  This restructured the
7916linuxthreads/pthreads support to separate generic pthreads support
7917from more the system-dependent thread-stopping code.  I believe this
7918should make it easier to eliminate the code duplication between
7919pthreads platforms in the future.  The patch included some other
7920code cleanups.
7921* Integrated Dan Bonachea's patch to support AIX threads.  This required
7922substantial manual integration, mostly due to conflicts with other
7923recent threads changes.  It may take another iteration to
7924get it to work.
7925* Removed HPUX/PA-RISC support from aix_irix_threads.c.  It wasn't used
7926anyway and it cluttered up the code.  And anything we can do to migrate
7927towards generic pthreads support is a good thing.
7928* Added a more explicit test for tracing of function arguments to test.c.
7929* Added Akira Tagoh's PowerPC64 patch.
7930* Fixed some bit rot in the Cygwin port (thanks to Dan Bonachea for
7931pointing it out).  gc.h now includes just windows.h, not winbase.h.
7932* Declared GC_save_regs_in_stack() in gc_priv.h.  Remove other declarations.
7933* Changed --enable-cplusplus to use automake consistently.  The old way
7934confused libtool.  "Make install" didn't work correctly for the old version.
7935Previously --enable-cplusplus was broken on cygwin.
7936* Changed the C version of GC_push_regs to fail at compile time if it is
7937generated with an empty body.  This seems to have been the cause of one
7938or two subtle failures on unusual platforms.  Those failures should
7939now occur at build time and be easily fixable.
7940
7941
7942== [6.2alpha5] 2003-05-14 ==
7943
7944* GC_invoke_finalizers could, under rare conditions, set
7945GC_finalizer_mem_freed to an essentially random value.  This could
7946possibly cause unbounded heap growth for long-running applications
7947under some conditions.  (The bug was introduced in 6.1alpha5, and
7948is not in gcc3.3.)
7949* Attempted to sanitize the various DLL macros.  GC_USE_DLL disappeared.
7950GC_DLL is used instead.  All internal tests are now on GC_DLL.
7951README.macros is now more precise about the intended meaning.
7952* Include DllMain in the multi-threaded win32 version only if the
7953collector is actually built as a dll (thanks to Mohan Embar for
7954a version of the patch).
7955* Hide the cygwin threadAttach/Detach functions.  They were violating our
7956namespace rules.
7957* Fixed an assertion in GC_check_heap_proc.  Added GC_STATIC_ASSERT
7958(thanks again to Ben Hutchings).
7959* Removed some obsolete definitions for Linux/PowerPC in gcconfig.h.
7960* CORD_cat was not rebalancing unbalanced trees in some cases, violating
7961a CORD invariant.  Also tweaked the re-balancing rule for
7962CORD_cat_char_star.  (Thanks to Alexandr Petrosian for the bug report
7963and patch.)
7964* Added hand-coded structured exception handling support to mark.c.
7965This should enable support of dynamic libraries under win32 with
7966gcc-compiled code.  (Thanks to Ranjit Mathew for the patch.)
7967Turned on dynamic library scanning for win32/gcc.
7968* Removed some remnants of read wrapping (thanks to Kenneth Schalk).
7969GC_USE_LD_WRAP was probably broken in recent versions.
7970* The build could fail on some platforms since gcconfig.h could include
7971declarations mentioning ptr_t, which was not defined, e.g. when if_mach
7972was built (thanks to Yann Dirson for pointing this out).  Also
7973cleaned up tests for GC_PRIVATE_H in gcconfig.h a bit.
7974* The GC_LOOP_ON_ABORT environment variable interfered with incremental
7975collection, since the write fault handler was erroneously overridden.
7976Handlers are now set up in the correct order.
7977* It used to be possible to call GC_mark_thread_local_free_lists() while
7978the world was not stopped during an incremental GC.  This was not safe.
7979Fortunately, it was also unnecessary.  Added GC_world_stopped flag
7980to avoid it.  (This caused occasional crashes in GC_set_fl_marks
7981with thread local allocation and incremental GC.  This probably happened
7982primarily on old, slow multiprocessors.)
7983* Allowed overriding of MAX_THREADS in win32_threads.c from the build
7984command line (thanks to Yannis Bres for the patch).
7985* Taught the IA64/linux code to determine the register backing store base from
7986/proc/self/maps after checking the __libc symbol, but before guessing.
7987(__libc symbols are on the endangered list, and the guess is likely to not
7988always be right for 2.6 kernels.)  Restructured the code to read and parse
7989/proc/self/maps so it only exists in one place (all platforms).
7990* The -DUSE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES code was broken on Linux.  It claimed that it
7991also registered the main data segment, but didn't actually do so.  (I don't
7992think anyone actually uses this configuration, but ...)
7993* Made another attempt to get --enablecplusplus to do the right thing.
7994Since there are unavoidable problems with C programs linking against a
7995dynamic library that includes C++ code, I separated out the c++ code into
7996libgccpp.
7997
7998
7999== [6.2alpha4] 2003-03-10 ==
8000
8001* Use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM for >= glibc2.2 on Linux/MIPS.  (See Debian bug
8002# 177204)
8003* Integrated Jeff Sturm and Jesse Rosenstock's MACOSX threads patches.
8004* Integrated Grzegorz Jakacki's substantial GNU build patch.  "Make dist"
8005should now work for the GNU build process.  Documentation files
8006are installed under share/gc.
8007* Tweaked gc_cpp.h to again support the Borland compiler (thanks to
8008Rene Girard for pointing out the problems).
8009* Updated BCC_MAKEFILE (thanks to Rene Girard).
8010* Added GC_ASSERT check for minimum thread stack size.
8011* Added --enable-gc-assertions.
8012* Added some web documentation to the distribution.  Updated it in the
8013process.
8014* Separate gc_conf_macros.h from gc.h.
8015* Added generic GC_THREADS client-defined macro to set the appropriate
8016GC_XXX_THREADS internal macro.  (gc_config_macros.h.)
8017* Add debugging versions of _ignore_off_page allocation primitves.
8018* Moved declarations of GC_make_closure and GC_debug_invoke_finalizer
8019from gc.h to gc_priv.h.
8020* Reset GC_fail_count even if only a small allocation succeeds.
8021* Integrated Brian Alliet's patch for dynamic library support on Darwin.
8022* gc_cpp.h's gc_cleanup destructor called GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER_IGNORE_SELF
8023when it should have called the lower case version, since it was
8024explicitly computing a base pointer.
8025
8026
8027== [6.2alpha3] 2003-01-30 ==
8028
8029* Don't include execinfo.h in os_dep.c when it's not needed, and may not
8030exist.
8031
8032
8033== [6.2alpha2] ==
8034
8035* Fixed the completely broken FreeBSD code in 6.2alpha1 (thanks to
8036Hironori Sakamoto for the patch).
8037* Changed IRIX reference in dbg_mlc.c to IRIX5 (thanks to Marcus Herbert).
8038* Attempted to work around the problems with .S filenames and the SGI
8039compiler.  (Untested.)
8040* Worked around an HP/UX make issue with the GNU-style build process.
8041* Fixed the --enable-cplusplus build machinery to allow builds without
8042a C++ compiler.  (That was always the intent ...)
8043* Changed the debugging allocation macros to explicitly pass the return
8044address for Linux and XXXBSD on hardware for which we can't get stack
8045traces.  Use __builtin_return_address(0) to generate it when possible.
8046Some of the configuration work was cleaned up (good) and moved to gc.h
8047(bad, but necessary).  This should make leak detection more useful
8048on a number of platforms.  (Thanks to Fabian Thylman for the suggestion.)
8049* Fixed compilation problems in dbg_mlc.c with GC_ADD_CALLER.
8050* Bumped revision number for dynamic library.
8051
8052
8053== [6.2alpha1] 2003-01-23 ==
8054
8055* Guard the test for GC_DUMP_REGULARLY in misc.c with
8056"#ifndef NO_DEBUGGING".  Otherwise it fails to build with NO_DEBUGGING
8057defined.  (Thanks to Manuel Serrano.)
8058* Message about retrying suspend signals was incorrectly generated even when
8059flag was not set.
8060* Cleaned up MACOSX/NEXT root registration code.  There was apparently a
8061separate ifdef case in GC_register_data_segments() for no reason.
8062* Removed MPROTECT_VDB for MACOSX port, based on one negative report.
8063* Arrange for gc.h and friends to be correctly installed with GNU-style
8064"make install".
8065* Enable the GNU-style build facility include C++ support in the library
8066with --enable-cplusplus (thanks to Thomas Maier for some of the patch).
8067* Mark from GC_thread_key in linux_threads.c, in case that's allocated
8068from the garbage collected heap, as it is with our own thread-specific
8069storage implementation (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
8070* Mark all free list header blocks if they are heap allocated.  This avoids
8071some unnecessary tracing.  And it remains correct if we clear the
8072root set.  (Thanks to Jeff Sturm for identifying the bug.)
8073* Improved S390/Linux support.  Add S390/Linux 64-bit support (thanks to
8074Ulrich Weigand).
8075* Corrected the spelling of GC_{M,C}ALLOC_EXPLICTLY_TYPED to
8076GC_{M,C}ALLOC_EXPLICITLY_TYPED in gc_typed.h.  This is technically
8077an interface change.  Based on the fact that nobody reported this,
8078I suspect/hope there were no clients.
8079* Cleaned up gc_typed.h so that (1) it adds an extern "C" declaration
8080when appropriate, (2) doesn't generate references to undefined internal
8081macros, and (3) allows easier manual construction of descriptors.
8082* Close the file descriptor used by GC_print_address_map().
8083* Set the "close-on-exec" bit for various file descriptors maintained
8084for the collector's internal use.
8085* Added a hack to find memory segments owned by the system allocator
8086under win32.  Based on my tests, this tends to eventually find all
8087segments, though it may take a while.  There appear to be cleaner,
8088but slower solutions under NT/XP.  But they rely on an API that's
8089unsupported under 9X.
8090* Changed Linux PowerPC stack finding to LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.  (Thanks
8091to Akira Tagoh for pointing out that HEURISTIC1 does not work on
809264-bit kernels.)
8093* Added GC_set_free_space_divisor to avoid some Windows dll issues.
8094* Added FIXUP_POINTER, POINTER_SHIFT, POINTER_MASK to allow preprocessing
8095of candidate pointers for tagging, etc.
8096* Always lock around GC_notify_full_gc().  Simplified code for
8097invoking GC_notify_full_gc().
8098* Changed the way DATASTART is defined on FreeBSD to be robust against
8099an unmapped page after etext.  (Thanks to Hironori Sakamoto for
8100tracking down the intermittent failure.)
8101* Made GC_enable() and GC_disable() official.  Deprecated direct update
8102of GC_dont_gc.  Changed GC_gcollect to be a noop when garbage collection
8103is disabled.
8104* Call GC_register_dynamic_libraries before stopping the world on Linux,
8105in order to avoid a potential deadlock due to the dl_iterate_phdr lock.
8106* Introduced a more general mechanism for platform-dependent code to
8107decide whether the main data segment should be handled separately
8108from dynamic libraries, or registered by GC_register_dynamic_libraries.
8109The latter is more reliable and easier on Linux with dl_iterate_phdr.
8110
8111
8112== [6.1] ==
8113
8114* Added GC_MAXIMUM_HEAP_SIZE environment variable.
8115* Fix configure.in for MIPS/LINUX (thanks to H.J. Lu).
8116* Double page hash table size for -DLARGE_CONFIG.
8117* Integrated Bo Thorsen's X86-64 support.
8118* STACKBOTTOM definition for LINUX/MIPS was partially changed back
8119(thanks to H.J. Lu and Hiroshi Kawashima for resolving this).
8120* Replaced all occurrences of LINUX_DATA_START in gcconfig.h with
8121SEARCH_FOR_DATA_START.  It doesn't hurt to fall back to a search.
8122And __data_start doesn't seem to get defined correctly of the GC
8123library is loaded with LD_PRELOAD, e.g. for leak detection.
8124* If the GC_find_leak environment variable is set, do a
8125atexit(GC_gcollect) to give us at least one chance to detect leaks.
8126This may report some very benign leaks, but ...
8127* Addeded REDIRECT_FREE.  It's necessary if we want leak detection with
8128LD_PRELOAD.
8129* Defer printing of leaked objects, as for smashed objects.
8130* Fixed process and descriptor leak in GC_print_callers.  Try for
8131line number even if we got function name.)
8132* Ported parallel GC support and thread local allocation to Alpha.
8133Not yet well-tested.
8134* Added GC_DUMP_REGULARLY and added finalization statistics to GC_dump().
8135* Fixed Makefile.am to mention alpha_mach_dep.S instead of the defunct
8136alpha_mach_dep.s.
8137* Incorporated a change to new_gc_alloc.h,
8138which should make it work with gcc3.1.
8139* Use alpha_mach_dep.S only on Linux.  (It's not clear that this is
8140optimal, but it otherwise didn't build on Tru64.  Thanks to Fergus Henderson.)
8141* Added ifdef to guard free() in os_dep.c.  Otherwise we get a
8142compilation error on Irix (thanks to Dai Sato).
8143* Added an experimental version of GC_memalign to mallocx.c.  This can't
8144always work, since we don't handle alignment requests in the hblk-level
8145allocator, and we can't handle arbitrary pointer displacements unless
8146GC_all_interior_pointers is enabled.  But it should work for alignment
8147requests up to HBLKSIZE.  This is not yet documented in the standard
8148places.
8149* Finally debugged the OSF1/Tru64 thread support.  This needs more testing,
8150since I needed to add a somewhat unconvincing workaround for signal
8151delivery issues that I don't yet completely understand.  But it does
8152pass my tests, even in parallel GC mode.  Incremental GC support is
8153disabled if thread support is enabled, due to the signal issues.
8154* Eliminated name-space-incorrect definition of _cdecl from gc_cpp.h.
8155* Added GC_debug_malloc_replacement and GC_debug_realloc_replacement
8156declarations to gc.h.  On IA64, this is required for REDIRECT_MALLOC
8157to work correctly with these.
8158* Fixed Linux USE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES to work with a 64-bit /proc format.
8159
8160
8161== [6.1alpha5] 2002-06-19 ==
8162
8163* Added GC_finalizer_mem_freed, and changed some of the code that
8164decided on heap expansion to look at it.  Memory explicitly
8165deallocated by finalizers essentially needs to be counted as reclaimed
8166by the GC.  Otherwise there are cases in which the heap can grow
8167infinitely.  (Thanks to Mark Reichert for the test case.)
8168* Integrated Adam Megacz patches to not scan dynamic libraries if
8169we are compiling with gcc on win32.  Otherwise we need structured
8170exception handling to deal with asynchronously unmapped root
8171segments, and gcc doesn't directly support that.
8172* Integrated Anthony Green's patch to support Wine.
8173* GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY was misspelled OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY in several
8174places, including gc_cpp.cc (thanks to Wink Saville for pointing this out).
8175* Integrated Loren J. Rittle's Alpha FreeBSD patches.  These also
8176changed the declarations of symbols like _end on many platforms to
8177that they wouldn't mistakenly be declared as short data symbols (suggested by
8178Richard Henderson).
8179* Integrated changes from the Debian distribution (thanks to Ryan Murray
8180for pointing these out).
8181Fix C++ comments in POWERPC port.  Add ARM32
8182incremental GC support.  Get rid of USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS for alpha/Linux,
8183this time for real.  Use va_copy to get rid of cord printf problems
8184(finally).
8185* Close file descriptor used to count CPUs (thanks to Jeff Sturm for
8186pointing out the omission).
8187* Don't just drop gcj free lists in GC_start_reclaim, since that can
8188eventually cause the marker to see a bogus mark descriptor in the
8189dropped objects.  The usual symptom was a very intermittent segmentation
8190fault in the marker.  This mattered only if one of the GC_gcj_malloc
8191variants was used (thanks to Michael Smith, Jeff Sturm, Bryce McKinlay and
8192Tom Tromey for helping to track this down).
8193* Fixed Linux and Solaris/64 SPARC configuration (thanks to David Miller,
8194Jeff Sturm, Tom Tromey, and Christian Joensson).
8195* Fixed a typo in strdup definition (thanks to Gerard A Allan).
8196* Changed Makefile.direct to invoke $(CC) to assemble alpha_mach_dep.S.
8197This is needed on Linux.  I'm not sure whether it's better or worse
8198on Tru64.
8199* Changed gc_cpp.h once more to declare operator new and friends only in
8200a Microsoft environment.  This may need further fine tuning (thanks to
8201Johannes Schmidt for pointing out that the older code breaks on gcc3.0.4).
8202* Don't ever override strdup if it's already macro defined (thanks to
8203Adnan Ali for pointing out the problem).
8204* Changed gc_cpp.h yet again to also overload placement new.  Due to the
8205C++ overloading rules, the other overloaded new operations otherwise hide
8206placement new, which causes many STL uses to break (thanks to Reza Shahidi
8207for reporting this, and to Matt Austern for proposing a fix).
8208* Integrated cygwin pthreads support from Dan Bonachea.
8209* Turn on DYNAMIC_LOADING for NetBSD (thanks to Krister Walfridsson).
8210* Changed printing code to print more complete GC times.
8211* Applied Mark Mitchell's Irix patch to correct some bit rot.
8212* Clarified which object-printing routines in dbg_mlc.c should hold
8213the allocation lock.  Restructured the code to allow reasonable object
8214printing with -DREDIRECT_MALLOC.
8215* Fix the Linux mmap code to always start with 0x1000 as the initial hint.
8216Minor patches for 64-bit AIX, particularly to STACKBOTTOM (thanks to
8217Jeffrey Mark Siskind).
8218* Renamed "SUSPENDED" flag for Solaris threads support to avoid a conflict
8219with a system header (thanks to Philip Brown).
8220* Cause win32_threads.c to handle an out of range stack pointer correctly,
8221though currently with a warning.  (Thanks to Jonathan Clark for
8222observing that win32 applications may temporarily use the stack
8223pointer for other purposes, and suggesting a fix.  Unfortunately, it's
8224not clear that there is a complete solution to this problem.)
8225
8226
8227== [6.1alpha4] 2002-06-16 ==
8228
8229* Fixed typo in sparc_mach_dep.S, preventing the 64-bit version from
8230building.  Increased 64-bit heap size limit in test.c slightly, since
8231a functional SPARC collector seems to slightly exceed the old limits.
8232* Use NPRGREG in solaris_threads.c, thus printing all registers if things
8233go wrong.
8234* Added GC_MARKERS environment variable to allow use of a single marker
8235thread on an MP without confusing the lock implementation.
8236* Collect much less aggressively in incremental mode with GC_TIME_UNLIMITED.
8237This is really a purely generational mode, and we can afford to
8238postpone the collection until the heap is (nearly) full.
8239* Remove read() wrapper for MPROTECT_VDB.  It was causing more harm than
8240good.  It is often no longer needed if system calls avoid writing to
8241pointerful heap objects.
8242* Fix MACOSX test in gcconfig.h (thanks to John Clements).
8243* Change GC_test_and_set so that it consistently has one argument.
8244Add spaces to ::: in powerpc assembly code in gc_locks.h (thanks to
8245Ryan Murray).
8246* Fixed a formatting error in dbg_mlc.c.  Added prototype to GC_abort()
8247declaration (thanks to Michael Smith).
8248* Removed "source" argument to GC_find_start().  Eliminate GC_FIND_START().
8249* Added win32 recognition code in configure.in.  Changed some of the
8250dllimport/export defines in gc.h (thanks to Adam Megacz).
8251* GC_malloc_many didn't set hb_last_reclaimed when it called
8252GC_reclaim_generic.  (I'm not sure this matters much, but ...)
8253* Allocating uncollectible objects with debug information sometimes
8254allocated objects that were one byte too small, since uncollectible
8255objects don't have the extra byte added at the end (thanks to
8256Wink Saville for pointing this out).
8257* Added a bit more assertion checking to make sure that gcj objects
8258on free lists never have a nonzero second word.
8259* Replaced BCC_MAKEFILE with an up-to-date one (thanks to Andre Leiradella).
8260* Upgraded libtool, configure.in and some related files to hopefully
8261support NetBSD/SPARC (thanks to Adrian Bunk).  Unfortunately,
8262libtool 1.4.2 seemed to be buggy due to missing quotes in several
8263"test" invocations.  Fixed those in the ltmain.sh script.
8264* Some win32-specific patches, including the introduction of
8265GC_CreateThread (thanks to Adam Megacz).
8266* Merged in gcj changes from Anthony Green to support embedded systems.
8267* Tried to consistently rename preprocessed assembly files with a capital
8268.S extension.
8269* Use alpha_mach_dep.S on ALPHA again.  It doesn't really matter, but this
8270makes our distribution consistent with the gcc one, avoiding future merge
8271problems.
8272* Move GET_MEM definition into gcconfig.h.  Include gcconfig.h slightly
8273later in gc_priv.h to avoid forward references to ptr_t.
8274* Add some testing of local allocation to test.c.
8275* Change definition of INVALID_QTID in specific.h.  The -1 value was used
8276inconsistently, and too likely to collide with a valid stack address.
8277Some general clean-up of specific.[ch].  Added assertions.  (Thanks
8278to Michael Smith for tracking down an intermittent bug to this
8279general area.  I'm not sure it has been squashed yet, however.)
8280* On Pthread systems it was not safe to call GC_malloc() between fork()
8281and exec().  According to the applicable standards, it doesn't appear
8282to be safe to call malloc() or many other libc functions either, thus
8283it's not clear this is fixable.  Added experimental support for
8284-DHANDLE_FORK in linux_threads.c which tries to support it.  It may
8285succeed if libc does the right thing.  I'm not sure whether it does.
8286(Thanks to Kenneth Schalk for pointing out this issue.)
8287* Documented thread local allocation primitives to require an
8288explicit GC_init call.  GC_init_parallel is no longer declared to
8289be a constructor function, since that isn't portable and often
8290seems to lead to initialization order problems.
8291* Changed gc_cpp.cc and gc_cpp.h in one more attempt to make them
8292compatible with Visual C++ 6 (thanks to Wink Saville for the patch).
8293* Some more patches for Linux on HP PA-RISC.
8294* Added include/gc_allocator.h.  It implements (hopefully) standard
8295conforming (as opposed to SGI-style) allocators that allocate
8296collectible (gc_allocator) or GC-traceable, but not collectible
8297(traceable_allocator) objects.  This borrows heavily from libstc++,
8298which borrows heavily from the SGI implementation, this part of
8299which was written by Matt Austern.  Changed test_cpp.cc to very
8300minimally test this.
8301* On Linux/X86, retry mmap with a different start argument.  That should
8302allow the collector to use more (closer to 3GB) of the address space.
8303* Force 64 bit alignment with GCJ support (reflects Bryce McKinlay's
8304patch to the gcc tree).
8305* Refined the choice of sa_handler vs. sa_sigaction in GC_dirty_init
8306to accommodate some glibc5 systems (thanks to Dan Fandrich for the patch).
8307* Compensated for the fact that current versions of glibc set
8308__libc_stack_end incorrectly on Linux/IA64 while initialization code
8309is running.  This could cause the collector to miss 16 bytes of
8310the memory stack if GC_malloc or friends where called before main().
8311* Mostly integrated Takis Psarogiannakopoulos' port to DG/UX Inix 86.
8312This will probably take another iteration to work, since his
8313patch conflicted with the libtool upgrade.
8314* Added README.arm.cross containing some information about cross-
8315compiling to an ARM processor from Margaret Fleck (original code provided by
8316Bradley D. LaRonde; edited by Andrej Cedilnik using some of solutions by
8317Tilman Vogel; also ported for iPAQ by Oliver Kurth).
8318
8319
8320== [6.1alpha3] 2002-02-07 ==
8321
8322* Minor cleanup on the gcconfig.h section for SPARC.
8323* Minor fix to support Intel compiler for I386/Linux (thanks to
8324Sven Hartrumpf).
8325* Added SPARC V9 (64-bit) support (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
8326* Restructured the way in which we determine whether or not to keep
8327call stacks for debug allocation.  By default SAVE_CALL_COUNT is
8328now zero on all platforms.  Added SAVE_CALL_NARGS parameters.
8329If possible, use execinfo.h to capture call stack.  (This should
8330add support for a number of new platforms, though often at
8331considerable runtime expense.)
8332* Try to print symbolic information for call stacks.  On Linux, we
8333do this with a combination of execinfo.h and running addr2line in
8334a separate process.  This is both much more expensive and much more
8335useful.  Amazingly, it seems to be fast enough for most purposes.
8336* Redefined strdup if -DREDIRECT_MALLOC is given.
8337* Changed incremental collector and MPROTECT_VDB implementation so that,
8338under favorable conditions, pointer-free objects are not protected.
8339Added GC_incremental_protection_needs() to determine ahead of time whether
8340pointer-free objects may be protected.  Replaced GC_write_hint() with
8341GC_remove_protection().
8342* Added test for GC_ENABLE_INCREMENTAL environment variable.
8343* Made GC_time_limit runtime configurable.  Added GC_PAUSE_TIME_TARGET
8344environment variable.
8345* Eliminated GC_page_sz, a duplicate of GC_page_size.
8346* Caused the Solaris and Irix thread creation primitives to call
8347GC_init_inner().
8348
8349
8350== [6.1alpha2] 2001-12-20 ==
8351
8352* No longer wrap read by default in multi-threaded applications.  It was
8353pointed out on the libgcj list that this holds the allocation lock for
8354way too long if the read blocks.  For now, reads into the heap are
8355broken with incremental collection.  It's possible to turn this back on
8356if you make sure that read calls don't block (e.g. by calling select
8357first).
8358* Fix ifdef in Solaris_threads.h to refer to GC_SOLARIS_THREADS.
8359* Added check for environment variable GC_IGNORE_GCJ_INFO.
8360* Added printing of stop-the-world GC times if GC_PRINT_STATS environment
8361variable is set.
8362* The calloc definition in leak_detector.h was missing parentheses, and
8363realloc was missing a second argument to GC_REALLOC (thanks to
8364Elvenlord Elrond).
8365* Added GC_PRINT_BACK_HEIGHT environment variable and associated
8366code, mostly in the new file backgraph.c.  See doc/README.environment.
8367* Added -DUSE_GLOBAL_ALLOC to work around a Windows NT issue (thanks to
8368Jonathan Clark).
8369* Integrated port to NEC EWS4800 (MIPS-based workstation, with somewhat
8370different address-space layout).  This may help for other machines with
8371holes in the data segment.  (Thanks to Hironori Sakamoto.)
8372* Changed the order in which GC_push_roots and friends push things onto
8373the mark stack.  GC_push_all calls need to come first, since we can't
8374necessarily recover if those overflow the mark stack.  (Thanks to
8375Matthew Flatt for tracking down the problem.)
8376* Some minor cleanups to mostly support the Intel compiler on Linux/IA64.
8377
8378
8379== [6.1alpha1] 2001-09-22 ==
8380
8381* Non-debug, atomic allocations could result in bogus smashed object
8382reports with debugging on (thanks to Patrick Doyle for the small test case).
8383* Fixed GC_get_register_stack_base (Itanium only) to work around a glibc
83842.2.4 bug.
8385* Initial port to HP/UX on Itanium.  Thread support and both 32 and 64
8386bit ABIs appear to work.  Parallel mark support doesn't yet, due to
8387some inline assembly code issues.  Thread local allocation does appear
8388to work.
8389* ifdef'ed out glibc2.1/Itanium workaround.  I suspect nobody is using
8390that combination anymore.
8391* Added a patch to make new_gc_alloc.h usable with gcc3.0 (thanks to
8392Dimitris Vyzovitis for the patch).
8393* Debugged 64-bit support on HP/UX PA-RISC.
8394* Turned on dynamic loading support for FreeBSD/ELF (thanks to Peter Housel).
8395* Unregistering of finalizers with debugging allocation was broken (thanks
8396to Jani Kajala for the test case).
8397* Old finalizers were not returned correctly from GC_debug_register_finalizer.
8398* Disabled MPROTECT_VDB for Linux/M68K based on a report that it doesn't work.
8399* Cleaned up some statistics gathering code in reclaim.c (thanks to
8400Walter Bright).
8401* Added some support for OpenBSD/ELF/Linux (thanks to Suzuki Toshiya).
8402* Added Jakub Jelinek's patch to use dl_iterate_phdr for dynamic library
8403traversal to dyn_load.c.  Changed it to weakly reference dl_iterate_phdr,
8404so that the old code is still used with old versions of glibc.
8405* Cleaned up feature test macros for various threads packages and
8406integrated (partially functional) FreeBSD threads code from Loren J. Rittle.
8407It's likely that the cleanup broke something, since it touched lots of
8408code.  It's also likely that it fixed some unreported bugs in the
8409less common thread implementations, since some of the original code
8410didn't stand up to close scrutiny.  Support for the next pthreads
8411implementation should be easier to add.
8412
8413
8414== [6.0] 2001-07-26 ==
8415
8416* Two more bug fixes for KEEP_BACK_PTRS and DBG_HDRS_ALL.
8417* Fixed a stack clearing problem that resulted in SIGILL with a
8418misaligned stack pointer for multi-threaded SPARC builds.
8419* Integrated another HURD patch (thanks to Igor Khavkine).
8420
8421
8422== [6.0alpha9] ==
8423
8424* added README.macros.
8425* Made gc.mak a symbolic link to work around winzip's tendency to ignore
8426hard links.
8427* Simplified the setting of NEED_FIND_LIMIT in os_dep.c, possibly breaking
8428it on untested platforms.
8429* Integrated initial GNU HURD port (thanks to Chris Lingard and
8430Igor Khavkine).
8431* A few more fixes for Digital Mars compiler (by Walter Bright).
8432* Fixed gcc version recognition.  Renamed OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to
8433GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY.  Changed GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to be the default.
8434It can be overridden with -DGC_NO_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY (thanks to
8435Cesar Eduardo Barros).
8436* Changed the byte size to free-list mapping in thread local allocation
8437so that size 0 allocations are handled correctly.
8438* Fixed Linux/MIPS stackbottom for new toolchain (thanks to Ryan Murray).
8439* Changed finalization registration to invoke GC_oom_fn when it runs out
8440of memory.
8441* Removed lvalue cast in finalize.c.  This caused some debug configurations
8442not to build with some non-gcc compilers.
8443
8444
8445== [6.0alpha8] 2001-06-15 ==
8446
8447* Changed GC_debug_malloc_replacement and GC_debug_realloc_replacement
8448so that they compile under Irix (thanks to Dave Love).
8449* Updated powerpc_macosx_mach_dep.s so that it works if the collector
8450is in a dynamic library (thanks to Andrew Begel).
8451* Transformed README.debugging into debugging.html, updating and
8452expanding it in the process.  Added gcdescr.html and tree.html
8453from the web site to the GC distribution.
8454* Fixed several problems related to PRINT_BLACK_LIST.  This involved
8455restructuring some of the marker macros.
8456* Fixed some problems with the sizing of objects with debug information.
8457Finalization was broken KEEP_BACK_PTRS or PRINT_BLACK_LIST.  Reduced the
8458object size with SHORT_DEBUG_HDRS by another word.
8459* The "Needed to allocate blacklisted ..." warning had inadvertently
8460been turned off by default, due to a buggy test in allchblk.c.  Turned
8461it back on.
8462* Removed the marker macros to deal with 2 pointers in interleaved fashion.
8463They were messy and the performance improvement seemed minimal.  We'll
8464leave such scheduling issues to the compiler.
8465* Changed Linux/PowerPC test to also check for __powerpc__ in response
8466to a discussion on the gcc mailing list.
8467* Removed the "static" from the jmp_buf declaration in GC_generic_push_regs
8468(suggested by Matthew Flatt).  This was causing problems in
8469systems that register all of their own roots.  It looks far more correct
8470to me without the "static" anyway.
8471* Fixed several problems with thread local allocation of pointer-free or
8472typed objects.  The collector was reclaiming thread-local free lists, since
8473it wasn't following the link fields.
8474* There was apparently a long-standing race condition related to
8475multi-threaded incremental collection.  A collection could be started and
8476a thread stopped between the memory unprotect system call and the setting of
8477the corresponding dirt bit.  I believe this did not affect Solaris or PCR,
8478which use a different dirty-bit implementation.  Fixed this by installing
8479signal handlers with sigaction instead of signal, and disabling the thread
8480suspend signal while in the write-protect handler.  (It is unclear
8481whether this scenario ever actually occurred.)
8482* Incremental collection did not cooperate correctly with the PARALLEL_MARK
8483implementation of GC_malloc_many or the local_malloc primitives.  It still
8484doesn't work well, but it shouldn't lose memory anymore.
8485* Integrated some changes from the gcc source tree that I had previously
8486missed (thanks to Bryce McKinlay for the reminder and patch).
8487* Added Makefile.direct as a copy of the default Makefile, which would
8488normally be overwritten if configure is run.
8489* Changed the gc.tar target in Makefile.direct to embed the version number
8490in the gc directory name.  This will affect future tar file distributions.
8491* Changed the Irix dynamic library finding code to no longer try to
8492eliminate writable text segments under Irix6.x, since that is probably no
8493longer necessary, and can apparently be unsafe on occasion (thanks to
8494Shiro Kawai for pointing this out).
8495* GC_cleanup with GC_DEBUG enabled passed a real object base address to
8496GC_debug_register_finalizer_ignore_self, which expected a pointer past the
8497debug header.  Call GC_register_finalizer_ignore_self instead, even with
8498debugging enabled (thanks to Jean-Daniel Fekete for catching this).
8499* The collector didn't build with call chain saving enabled but NARGS=0.
8500* Fixed up the GNU-style build files enough so that they work in some
8501obvious cases (thanks to Maarten Thibaut).
8502* Added initial port to Digital Mars compiler for win32 (thanks to Walter
8503Bright).
8504
8505
8506== [6.0alpha7] 2001-04-19 ==
8507
8508* Added GC_finalizer_notifier.  Fixed GC_finalize_on_demand.  (The variable
8509actually wasn't being tested at the right points.  The build-time flag
8510was.)
8511* Added Tom Tromey's S390 Linux patch.
8512* Added code to push GC_finalize_now in GC_push_finalizer_structures
8513(thanks to Matthew Flatt).
8514* Added GC_push_gc_structures() to push all GC internal roots.
8515* Integrated some FreeBSD changes from Matthew Flatt.
8516* It looks like USRSTACK is not always correctly defined under Solaris.
8517Hacked gcconfig.h to attempt to work around the problem.  The result
8518is not well tested.  (Thanks again to Matthew Flatt for pointing this out.)
8519* Added Ji-Yong Chung's win32 threads and C++ fixes.
8520* Arranged for hpux_test_and_clear.s to no longer be needed or built.
8521It was causing build problems with gas, and it's not clear this is
8522better than the pthreads alternative on this platform.
8523* Some MINGW32 fixes from Hubert Garavel.
8524* Added initial Hitachi SH4 port from Kaz Kojima.
8525* Ported thread-local allocation and parallel mark code to HP/UX on PA_RISC.
8526* Made include/gc_mark.h more public and separated out the really private
8527pieces.  This is probably still not quite sufficient for clients that
8528want to supply their own kind of type information.  But it's a start.
8529This involved lots of identifier renaming to make it namespace clean.
8530* Added GC_dont_precollect for clients that need complete control over
8531the root set.
8532* GC_is_visible didn't do the right thing with gcj objects.  (Not that
8533many people are likely to care, but ...)
8534* Don't redefine read with GC_USE_LD_WRAP.
8535* Initial port to LINUX/HP_PA.  Incremental collection and threads are not
8536yet supported.  (Incremental collection should work if you have the
8537right kernel.  Threads may work with a sufficiently patched pthread
8538library.)
8539* Changed gcconfig.h to recognize __i386__ as an alternative to i386 in
8540many places (thanks to Benjamin Lerman).
8541* Made win32_threads.c more tolerant of detaching a thread that it didn't
8542know about (thanks to Paul Nash).
8543* Added Makefile.am and configure.in from gcc to the distribution, with
8544minimal changes.  For the moment, those are just placeholders.  In the
8545future, we're planning to switch to a GNU-style build environment for
8546Un*x-like systems, though the old Makefile will remain as a backup.
8547* Turned off STUBBORN_ALLOC by default, and added it back as a Makefile
8548option.
8549* Redistributed some functions between malloc.c and mallocx.c, so that
8550simple statically linked apps no longer pull in mallocx.o.
8551* Changed large object allocation to clear the first and last few words
8552of each block before releasing the lock.  Otherwise the marker could see
8553objects with nonsensical type descriptors.
8554* Fixed a couple of subtle problems that could result in not recognizing
8555interior pointers from the stack.  (I believe these were introduced
8556in 6.0alpha6.)
8557* GC_debug_free_inner called GC_free, which tried to reacquire the
8558allocator lock, and hence deadlocked.  (DBG_HDRS_ALL probably never worked
8559with threads.)
8560* Fixed several problems with back traces.  Accidental references to a free
8561list could cause the free list pointer to be overwritten by a back pointer.
8562There seemed to be some problems with the encoding of root and finalizer
8563references.
8564
8565
8566== [6.0alpha6] ==
8567
8568* Changed the definition of DATASTART on ALPHA and IA64, where data_start
8569and __data_start are not defined by earlier versions of glibc.  This might
8570need to be fixed on other platforms as well.
8571* Changed the way the stack base and backing store base are found on IA64.
8572This should now remain reliable on future kernels.  But since it relies
8573on /proc, it will no longer work in the simulated NUE environment.
8574* Made the call to random() in dbg_mlc.c with -DKEEP_BACK_PTRS dependent
8575on the OS.  On non-Unix systems, rand() should be used instead.  Handled
8576small RAND_MAX (thanks to Peter Ross for pointing this out).
8577* Fixed the cord make rules to create the cord subdirectory, if necessary
8578(thanks to Doug Moen).
8579* Changed fo_object_size calculation in finalize.c.  Turned finalization
8580of non-heap object into a no-op.  Removed anachronism from GC_size()
8581implementation.
8582* Changed GC_push_dirty call in solaris_threads.c to GC_push_selected.
8583It was missed in a previous renaming (thanks to Vladimir Tsichevski
8584for pointing this out).
8585* Arranged to not mask SIGABRT in linux_threads.c (thanks to Bryce McKinlay).
8586* Added GC_no_dls hook for applications that want to register their own
8587roots.
8588* Integrated Kjetil Matheussen's Amiga changes.
8589* Added FREEBSD_STACKBOTTOM.  Changed the X86/FreeBSD port to use it
8590(thanks to Matthew Flatt).
8591* Added pthread_detach interception for platforms supported by linux_threads.c
8592and irix_threads.c.
8593* Changed the USE_MMAP code to check for the case in which we got the
8594high end of the address space, i.e. mem_ptr + mem_sz == 0.  It appears
8595that this can happen under Solaris 7.  It seems to be allowed by what
8596I would claim is an oversight in the mmap specification.  (Thanks to
8597Toshio Endo for pointing out the problem.)
8598* Cleanup of linux_threads.c.  Some code was originally cloned from
8599irix_threads.c and now unnecessary.  Some comments were obviously wrong.
8600* (Mostly) fixed a longstanding problem with setting of dirty bits from
8601a signal handler.  In the presence of threads, dirty bits could get lost,
8602since the getting of a bit in the bit vector was not atomic with respect
8603to other updates.  The fix is 100% correct only for platforms for which
8604GC_test_and_set is defined.  The goal is to make that all platforms with
8605thread support.  Matters only if incremental GC and threads are both
8606enabled.
8607* made GC_all_interior_pointers (a.k.a. ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS) an
8608initialization time, instead of build-time option.  This is a
8609nontrivial, high risk change.  It should slow down the code measurably
8610only if MERGE_SIZES is not defined, which is a very nonstandard
8611configuration.
8612* Added doc/README.environment, and implemented what it describes.  This
8613allows a number of additional configuration options to be set through
8614the environment.  It documents a few previously undocumented options.
8615* Integrated Eric Benson's leak testing improvements.
8616* Removed the option to throw away the beginning of each page (DISCARD_WORDS).
8617This became less and less useful as processors enforce stricter alignment.
8618And it hadn't been tested in ages, and was thus probably broken anyway.
8619
8620
8621== [6.0alpha5] ==
8622
8623* Changed the definition of GC_pause in linux_threads.c to use a volatile
8624asm.  Some versions of gcc apparently optimize away writes to local volatile
8625variables.  This caused poor locking behavior starting at about
86264 processors.
8627* Added GC_start_blocking(), GC_end_blocking() calls and wrapper for sleep
8628to linux_threads.c.
8629The first two calls could be used to generally avoid sending GC signals to
8630blocked threads, avoiding both premature wakeups and unnecessary overhead.
8631* Fixed a serious bug in thread-local allocation.  At thread termination,
8632GC_free could get called on small integers.  Changed the code for thread
8633termination to more efficiently return left-over free-lists.
8634* Integrated Kjetil Matheussen's BeOS support.
8635* Rearranged the directory structure to create the doc and tests
8636subdirectories.
8637* Sort of integrated Eric Benson's patch for OSF1.  This provided basic
8638OSF1 thread support by suitably extending hpux_irix_threads.c.  Based
8639on earlier email conversations with David Butenhof, I suspect that it
8640will be more reliable in the long run to base this on linux_threads.c
8641instead.  Thus I attempted to patch up linux_threads.c based on Eric's code.
8642The result is almost certainly broken, but hopefully close enough that
8643someone with access to a machine can pick it up.
8644* Integrated lots of minor changes from the NetBSD distribution.  (These
8645were supplied by David Brownlee.  I'm not sure about the original
8646authors.)
8647* Hacked a bit more on the HP/UX thread-support in linux_threads.c.  It
8648now appears to work in the absence of incremental collection.  Renamed
8649hpux_irix_threads.c back to irix_threads.c, and removed the attempt to
8650support HPUX there.
8651* Changed gc.h to define _REENTRANT in cases in which it should already
8652have been defined. It is still safer to also define it on the command
8653line.
8654
8655
8656== [6.0alpha4] ==
8657
8658* Moved up the detection of mostly full blocks to the initiation of the
8659sweep phase.  This eliminates some lock contention in the PARALLEL_MARK case,
8660as multiple threads try to look at mostly full blocks concurrently.
8661* Restored the code in GC_malloc_many that grabs a prefix of the global
8662free list.  This avoids the case in which every GC_malloc_many call
8663tries and fails to allocate a new heap block, and the returns a single
8664object from the global free list.
8665* Some minor fixes in new_hblk.c.  (Attempted to build free lists in order
8666of increasing addresses instead of decreasing addresses for cache performance
8667reasons.  But this seems to be only a very minor gain with -DEAGER_SWEEP,
8668and a loss in other cases.  So the change was backed out.)
8669* Fixed some of the documentation (thanks in large part to Fergus Henderson).
8670* Fixed the Linux USE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES code to deal with apps that perform
8671large numbers of mmaps (thanks to Eric Benson).  Also fixed that code to
8672deal with short reads.
8673* Added GC_get_total_bytes().
8674* Fixed leak detection mode to avoid spurious messages under linuxthreads.
8675(This should also now be easy for the other supported threads packages.
8676But the code is tricky enough that I'm hesitant to do it without being able
8677to test.  Everything allocated in the GC thread support itself should be
8678explicitly deallocated.)
8679* Made it possible (with luck) to redirect malloc to GC_local_malloc.
8680
8681
8682== [6.0alpha3] 2000-09-26 ==
8683
8684* Fixed the /proc/self/maps code to not seek, since that apparently is not
8685reliable across all interesting kernels.
8686* Fixed some compilation problems in the absence of PARALLEL_MARK
8687(introduced in alpha2).
8688* Fixed an algorithmic problem with PARALLEL_MARK.  If work needs to
8689be given back to the main mark "stack", the BOTTOM entries of the local
8690stack should be given away, not the top ones.  This has substantial
8691performance impact, especially for > 2 processors, from what I can tell.
8692* Extracted gc_lock.h from gc_priv.h.  This should eventually make it a
8693bit easier to avoid including gc_priv.h in clients.
8694* Moved all include files to include/ and removed duplicate links to the
8695same file.  The old scheme was a bad idea because it was too easy to get the
8696copies out of sync, and many systems don't support hard links.
8697Unfortunately, it's likely that I broke some of the non-Unix Makefiles in
8698the process, although I tried to update them appropriately.
8699* Removed the partial support for a copied nursery.  It's not clear that
8700this would be a tremendous win, since we don't consistently lose to
8701generational copying collectors.  And it would significantly complicate
8702many things.  May be reintroduced if/when it really turns out to win.
8703* Removed references to IRIX_JDK_THREADS, since I believe there never
8704were and never will be any clients.
8705* Added some code to linux_threads.c to possibly support HPUX threads
8706using the Linux code.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work yet, and is
8707currently disabled.
8708* Added support under Linux/X86 for saving the call chain, both in (debug)
8709objects for client debugging, and in GC_arrays._last_stack for GC
8710debugging.  This was previously supported only under Solaris.  It is
8711not enabled by default under X86, since it requires that code be compiled
8712to explicitly gave frame pointers on the call stack.  (With gcc this
8713currently happens by default, but is often turned off explicitly.)
8714To turn it on, define SAVE_CALL_CHAIN.
8715
8716
8717== [6.0alpha2] ==
8718
8719* Added USE_MARK_BYTES to reduce the need for compare-and-swap on platforms
8720for which that's expensive.
8721* Fixed a locking bug ib GC_gcj_malloc and some locking assertion problems.
8722* Added a missing volatile to OR_WORD and renamed the parameter to
8723GC_compare_and_swap so it's not a C++ reserved word (thanks to
8724Toshio Endo for pointing out both of those).
8725* Changed Linux dynamic library registration code to look at /proc/self/maps
8726instead of the rld data structures when REDIRECT_MALLOC is defined.
8727Otherwise some of the rld data data structures may be prematurely garbage
8728collected.
8729* Fixed USE_LD_WRAP a bit more, so it should now work without threads.
8730* Renamed XXX_THREADS macros to GC_XXX_THREADS for namespace correctness.
8731Temporarily added some backward compatibility definitions.  Renamed
8732USE_LD_WRAP to GC_USE_LD_WRAP.
8733* Many MACOSX POWERPC changes, some additions to the gctest output, and
8734a few minor generic bug fixes (thanks to Dietmar Planitzer).
8735
8736
8737== [6.0alpha1] ==
8738
8739* Added HP/PA prefetch support.
8740* Added -DDBG_HDRS_ALL and -DSHORT_DBG_HDRS to reduce the cost and improve
8741the reliability of generating pointer backtrace information, e.g. in
8742the Bigloo environment.
8743* Added parallel marking support (-DPARALLEL_MARK).  This currently
8744works only under IA32 and IA64 Linux, but it shouldn't be hard to adapt
8745to other platforms.  This is intended to be a lighter-weight (less
8746new code, probably not as scalable) solution than the work by Toshio Endo
8747et al, at the University of Tokyo.  A number of their ideas were
8748reused, though the code wasn't, and the underlying data structure
8749is significantly different.  In particular, we keep the global mark
8750stack as a single shared data structure, but most of the work is done
8751on smaller thread-local mark stacks.
8752* Changed GC_malloc_many to be cheaper, and to require less mutual exclusion
8753with -DPARALLEL_MARK.
8754* Added full support for thread local allocation under Linux
8755(-DTHREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC).  This is a thin veneer on GC_malloc_many, and
8756should be easily portable to other platforms, especially those that
8757support pthreads.
8758* CLEAR_DOUBLE was not always getting invoked when it should have been.
8759* GC_gcj_malloc and friends used different out of memory handling than
8760everything else, probably because I forgot about one when I implemented
8761the other.  They now both call GC_oom_fn(), not GC_oom_action().
8762* Integrated Jakub Jelinek's fixes for Linux/SPARC.
8763* Moved GC_objfreelist, GC_aobjfreelist, and GC_words_allocd out of
8764GC_arrays, and separately registered the first two as excluded roots.
8765This makes code compiled with gc_inl.h less dependent on the
8766collector version.  (It would be nice to remove the inclusion of
8767gc_priv.h by gc_inl.h completely, but we're not there yet.  The
8768locking definitions in gc_priv.h are still referenced.)
8769This change was later conditioned on SEPARATE_GLOBALS, which
8770is not defined by default, since it involves a performance hit.
8771* Register GC_obj_kinds separately as an excluded root region.  The
8772attempt to register it with GC_arrays was usually failing.  (This wasn't
8773serious, but seemed to generate some confusion.)
8774* Moved backptr.h to gc_backptr.h.
8775
8776
8777== [5.4] ==
8778
8779* Fixed a typo that prevented compilation with -DUSE_3DNOW_PREFETCH (thanks to
8780Shawn Wagner for actually testing this).
8781* Fixed GC_is_thread_stack in solaris_threads.c.  It forgot to return a value
8782in the common case.
8783* Fixed another silly syntax problem in GC_double_descr (thanks to
8784Fergus Henderson for finding it).
8785* Fixed a GC_gcj_malloc bug: It tended to release the allocator lock twice.
8786
8787
8788== [5.3] 2000-09-24 ==
8789
8790* Fixed _end declaration for OSF1.
8791* There were lots of spurious leak reports in leak detection mode, caused
8792by the fact that some pages were not being swept, and hence unmarked
8793objects weren't making it onto free lists.  (This bug dated back to 5.0.)
8794* Fixed a typo in the liblinuxgc.so Makefile rule.
8795* Added the GetExitCodeThread to Win32 GC_stop_world to (mostly) work
8796around a Windows 95 GetOpenFileName problem (thanks to Jacob Navia).
8797
8798
8799== [5.2] ==
8800
8801* dyn_load.c declared GC_scratch_last_end_ptr as an extern even if it
8802was defined as a macro.  This prevented the collector from building on
8803Irix.
8804* We quietly assumed that indirect mark descriptors were never 0.
8805Our own typed allocation interface violated that.  This could result
8806in segmentation faults in the marker with typed allocation.
8807* Fixed a _DUSE_MUNMAP bug in the heap block allocation code (thanks to
8808Ben Hutchings for the patch).
8809* Taught the collector about VC++ handling array operator new (thanks to
8810Ben Hutchings for the patch).
8811* The two copies of gc_hdrs.h had diverged.  Made one a link to the other
8812again.
8813
8814
8815== [5.1] ==
8816
8817* Fixed a gc.h header bug which showed up under Irix (thanks to Dan Sullivan).
8818* Fixed a typo in GC_double_descr in typd_mlc.c.
8819This probably could result in objects described by array descriptors not
8820getting traced correctly (thanks to Ben Hutchings for pointing this out).
8821* The block nearly full tests in reclaim.c were not correct for 64 bit
8822environments.  This could result in unnecessary heap growth under unlikely
8823conditions.
8824
8825
8826== [5.0] ==
8827
8828* Fixed threadlibs.c for linux threads.  -DUSE_LD_WRAP was broken and
8829-ldl was omitted.  Fixed Linux stack finding code to handle
8830-DUSE_LD_WRAP correctly.
8831* Added MSWIN32 exception handler around marker, so that the collector
8832can recover from root segments that are unmapped during the collection.
8833This caused occasional failures under Windows 98, and may also be
8834an issue under Windows NT/2000.
8835
8836
8837== [5.0alpha7] ==
8838
8839* -DREDIRECT_MALLOC was broken in alpha6. Fixed.
8840* Cleaned up gc_ccp.h slightly, thus also causing the HP C++ compiler to
8841accept it.
8842* Removed accidental reference to dbg_mlc.c, which caused dbg_mlc.o to be
8843linked into every executable.
8844* Added PREFETCH to bitmap marker.  Changed it to use the header cache.
8845* GC_push_marked sometimes pushed one object too many, resulting in a
8846segmentation fault in GC_mark_from_mark_stack.  This was probably an old
8847bug.  It finally showed up in gctest on win32.
8848* Gc_priv.h erroneously #defined GC_incremental to be TRUE instead of FALSE
8849when SMALL_CONFIG was defined.  This was no doubt a major performance bug for
8850the default win32 configuration.
8851* Removed -DSMALL_CONFIG from NT_MAKEFILE.  It seemed like an anachronism now
8852that the average PC has 64MB or so.
8853* Integrated Bryce McKinlay's patches for linux threads and dynamic loading
8854from the libgcj tree.  Turned on dynamic loading support for Linux/PPC.
8855* Changed the stack finding code to use environ on HP/UX (thanks
8856to Gustavo Rodriguez-Rivera for the suggestion).  This should
8857probably be done on other platforms, too.  Since I can't test those, that'll
8858wait until after 5.0.
8859
8860
8861== [5.0alpha6] ==
8862
8863* GC_malloc_explicitly_typed and friends sometimes failed to
8864initialize first word.
8865* Added allocation routines and support in the marker for mark descriptors
8866in a type structure referenced by the first word of an object.  This was
8867introduced to support gcj, but hopefully in a way that makes it
8868generically useful.
8869* Added GC_requested_heapsize, and inhibited collections in non-incremental
8870mode if the actual used heap size is less than what was explicitly
8871requested.
8872* The Solaris pthreads version of GC_pthread_create didn't handle a NULL
8873attribute pointer.  Solaris thread support used the wrong default thread
8874stack size (thanks to Melissa O'Neill for the patch).
8875* Changed PUSH_CONTENTS macro to no longer modify first parameter.
8876This usually doesn't matter, but it was certainly an accident waiting
8877to happen ...
8878* Added GC_register_finalizer_no_order and friends to gc.h.  They're
8879needed by Java implementations.
8880* Integrated a fix for a win32 deadlock resulting from clock() calling
8881malloc (thanks to Chris Dodd).
8882* Integrated Hiroshi Kawashima's port to Linux/MIPS.  This was designed
8883for a handheld platform, and may or may not be sufficient for other
8884machines.
8885* Fixed a va_arg problem with the %c specifier in cordprnt.c.  It appears
8886that this was always broken, but recent versions of gcc are the first to
8887report the (statically detectable) bug.
8888* Added an attempt at a more general solution to dlopen races/deadlocks.
8889GC_dlopen now temporarily disables collection.  Still not ideal, but ...
8890* Added -DUSE_I686_PREFETCH, -DUSE_3DNOW_PREFETCH, and support for IA64
8891prefetch instructions.  May improve performance measurably, but I'm not
8892sure the code will run correctly on processors that don't support the
8893instruction.  Won't build except with very recent gcc.
8894* Added caching for header lookups in the marker.  This seems to result
8895in a barely measurable performance gain.  Added support for interleaved
8896lookups of two pointers, but unconfigured that since the performance
8897gain is currently near zero, and it adds to code size.
8898* Changed Linux DATASTART definition to check both data_start and
8899__data_start, since nothing else seems to be portable.
8900* Added -DUSE_LD_WRAP to optionally take advantage of the GNU ld function
8901wrapping mechanism.  Probably currently useful only on Linux.
8902* Moved some variables for the scratch allocator into GC_arrays (suggested
8903by Martin Hirzel).
8904* Fixed a win32 threads bug that caused the collector to not look for
8905interior pointers from one of the thread stacks without
8906ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
8907* Added Mingw32 support (thanks to Jeff Sturm for the patch).
8908* Changed the alpha port to use the generic register scanning code instead
8909of alpha_mach_dep.s.  Alpha_mach_dep.s doesn't look for pointers in fp
8910registers, but gcc sometimes spills pointers there (thanks to Manuel Serrano
8911for helping debug this).  Changed the IA64 code to
8912do something similar for similar reasons.
8913
8914
8915== [5.0alpha4] 1999-10-30 ==
8916
8917* Added protection fault handling patch for Linux/M68K from Fergus
8918Henderson and Roman Hodek.
8919* Removed the tests for SGI_SOURCE in new_gc_alloc.h.  This was causing that
8920interface to fail on non-SGI platforms.
8921* Changed the Linux stack finding code to use /proc, after changing it
8922to use HEURISTIC1 (thanks to David Mossberger for pointing out /proc hook).
8923* Added HP/UX incremental GC support and HP/UX 11 thread support.
8924Thread support is currently still flaky.
8925* Added basic Linux/IA64 support.
8926* Integrated Anthony Green's PicoJava support.
8927* Integrated Scott Ananian's StrongARM/NetBSD support.
8928* Fixed some fairly serious performance bugs in the incremental
8929collector.  These have probably been there essentially forever.
8930(Mark bits were sometimes set before scanning dirty pages.
8931The reclaim phase unnecessarily dirtied full small object pages.)
8932* Changed the reclaim phase to ignore nearly full pages to avoid
8933touching them.
8934* Limited GC_black_list_spacing to roughly the heap growth increment.
8935* Changed full collection triggering heuristic to decrease full GC
8936frequency by default, but to explicitly trigger full GCs during
8937heap growth.  This doesn't always improve things, but on average it's
8938probably a win.
8939* GC_debug_free(0, ...) failed (thanks to Fergus Henderson for the
8940bug report and fix).
8941

8943== [5.0alpha3] 1999-09-15 ==
8944
8945(Also known as 4.15alpha3.)
8946* Added some highly incomplete code to support a copied young generation.
8947Comments on nursery.h are appreciated.
8948* Changed -DFIND_LEAK, -DJAVA_FINALIZATION, and -DFINALIZE_ON_DEMAND,
8949so the same effect could be obtained with a runtime switch.   This is
8950a step towards standardizing on a single dynamic GC library.
8951* Significantly changed the way leak detection is handled, as a consequence
8952of the above.
8953
8954
8955== [5.0alpha2] 1999-07-23 ==
8956
8957* Fixed bugs introduced in alpha1 (OpenBSD & large block initialization).
8958* Added -DKEEP_BACK_PTRS and backptr.h interface.  (The implementation
8959idea came from Alan Demers.)
8960
8961
8962== [5.0alpha1] 1999-06-30 ==
8963
8964(Also known as 4.15alpha1.)
8965* Reworked large block allocator.  Now uses multiple doubly linked free
8966lists to approximate best fit.
8967* Changed heap expansion heuristic.  Entirely free blocks are no longer
8968counted towards the heap size.  This seems to have a major impact on
8969heap size stability; the old version could expand the heap way too
8970much in the presence of large block fragmentation.
8971* added -DGC_ASSERTIONS and some simple assertions inside the collector.
8972This is mainlyt for collector debugging.
8973* added -DUSE_MUNMAP to allow the heap to shrink.  Supported on only
8974a few UNIX-like platforms for now.
8975* added GC_dump_regions() for debugging of fragmentation issues.
8976* Changed PowerPC pointer alignment under Linux to 4.
8977* Changed the Linux/Alpha port to walk the data segment backwards until
8978it encounters a SIGSEGV.  The old way to find the start of the data
8979segment broke with a recent release.
8980* cordxtra.c needed to call GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER instead of
8981GC_register_finalizer, so that it would continue to work with GC_DEBUG.
8982* allochblk sometimes cleared the wrong block for debugging purposes
8983when it dropped blacklisted blocks.  This could result in spurious
8984error reports with GC_DEBUG.
8985* added MACOS X Server support (thanks to Andrew Stone).
8986* Changed the Solaris threads code to ignore stack limits > 8 MB with
8987a warning.  Empirically, it is not safe to access arbitrary pages
8988in such large stacks.  And the dirty bit implementation does not
8989guarantee that none of them will be accessed.
8990* Integrated Martin Tauchmann's Amiga changes.
8991* Integrated James Dominy's OpenBSD/SPARC port.
8992
8993
8994== [4.14] 1999-04-16 ==
8995
8996* changed STACKBOTTOM for DJGPP (thanks to Salvador Eduardo Tropea).
8997
8998
8999== [4.14alpha2] 1999-03-26 ==
9000
9001* -DSMALL_CONFIG did not work reliably with large (> 4K) pages.
9002Recycling the mark stack during expansion could result in a size
9003zero heap segment, which confused things.  (This was probably also an
9004issue with the normal config and huge pages.)
9005* Did more work to make sure that callee-save registers were scanned
9006completely, even with the setjmp-based code.  Added USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS
9007macro to facilitate testing on machines I have access to.
9008* Added code to explicitly push register contents for win32 threads.
9009This seems to be necessary.  (Thanks to Pierre de Rop.)
9010
9011
9012== [4.14alpha1] 1999-03-10 ==
9013
9014* Fixed GC_print_source_ptr to not use a prototype.
9015* generalized CYGWIN test.
9016* gc::new did the wrong thing with PointerFreeGC placement (thanks to
9017Rauli Ruohonen).
9018* In the ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (default) case, some callee-save register
9019values could fail to be scanned if the register was saved and
9020reused in a GC frame.  This showed up in verbose mode with gctest
9021compiled with an unreleased SGI compiler.  I vaguely recall an old
9022bug report that may have been related.  The bug was probably quite old.
9023(The problem was that the stack scanning could be deferred until
9024after the relevant frame was overwritten, and the new save location
9025might be outside the scanned area.  Fixed by more eager stack scanning.)
9026* PRINT_BLACK_LIST had some problems.  A few source addresses were garbage.
9027* Replaced Makefile.dj and added -I flags to cord make targets (thanks to
9028Gary Leavens).
9029* GC_try_to_collect was broken with the non-incremental collector.
9030* gc_cleanup destructors could pass the wrong address to
9031GC_register_finalizer_ignore_self in the presence of multiple
9032inheritance (thanks to Darrell Schiebel).
9033* Changed PowerPC Linux stack finding code.
9034
9035
9036== [4.13] 1999-02-19 ==
9037
9038* Fixed a crucial bug in the Watcom port.  There was a redundant declaration
9039of GC_push_one in gc_priv.h.
9040* Added FINALIZE_ON_DEMAND.
9041* Fixed some pre-ANSI cc problems in test.c.
9042* Removed getpagesize() use for Solaris.  It seems to be missing in one
9043or two versions.
9044* Fixed bool handling for SPARCCompiler version 4.2.
9045* Fixed some files in include that had gotten unlinked from the main
9046copy.
9047* Some RS/6000 fixes (missing casts).  (Thanks to Toralf Foerster.)
9048* Fixed several problems in GC_debug_realloc, affecting mostly the
9049FIND_LEAK case.
9050* GC_exclude_static_roots contained a buggy unsigned comparison to
9051terminate a loop (thanks to Wilson Ho).
9052* CORD_str failed if the substring occurred at the last possible position.
9053(Only affects cord users.)
9054* Fixed Linux code to deal with RedHat 5.0 and integrated Peter Bigot's
9055os_dep.c code for dealing with various Linux versions.
9056* Added workaround for Irix pthreads sigaction bug and possible signal
9057misdirection problems.
9058
9059
9060== [4.13alpha3] 1998-12-08 ==
9061
9062* Fixed MSWIN32 recognition test, which interfered with cygwin.
9063* Removed unnecessary gc_watcom.asm from distribution.  Removed
9064some obsolete README.win32 text.
9065* Added Alpha Linux incremental GC support (thanks to Philipp Tomsich
9066for code for retrieving the fault address in a signal handler).
9067Changed Linux signal handler context argument to be a pointer.
9068* Took care of some new warnings generated by the 7.3 SGI compiler.
9069* Integrated Phillip Musumeci's FreeBSD/ELF fixes.
9070* -DIRIX_THREADS was broken with the -o32 ABI (typo in gc_priv.h).
9071
9072
9073== [4.13alpha2] 1998-08-08 ==
9074
9075* Fixed more Linux threads problems.
9076* Changed default GC_free_space_divisor to 3 with new large block allocation
9077(thanks to Matthew Flatt for some measurements that suggest the old
9078value sometimes favors space too much over time).
9079* More CYGWIN32 fixes.
9080* Integrated Tyson Dowd's Linux-M68K port.
9081* Minor HP PA and DEC UNIX fixes from Fergus Henderson.
9082* Integrated Christoffe Raffali's Linux-SPARC changes.
9083* Allowed for one more GC fixup iteration after a full GC in incremental
9084mode.  Some quick measurements suggested that this significantly
9085reduces pause times even with smaller GC_RATE values.
9086* Moved some more GC data structures into GC_arrays.  This decreases
9087pause times and GC overhead, but makes debugging slightly less convenient.
9088* Fixed namespace pollution problem ("excl_table").
9089* Made GC_incremental a constant for -DSMALL_CONFIG, hopefully shrinking
9090that slightly.
9091* Added some win32 threads fixes.
9092* Integrated Ivan Demakov and David Stes' Watcom fixes.
9093* Various other minor fixes contributed by many people.
9094* Renamed config.h to gcconfig.h, since config.h tends to be used for
9095many other things.
9096* Integrated Matthew Flatt's support for 68K MacOS "far globals".
9097* Fixed up some of the dynamic library Makefile targets for consistency
9098across platforms.
9099* Fixed a USE_MMAP typo that caused out-of-memory handling to fail
9100on Solaris.
9101* Added code to test.c to test thread creation a bit more.
9102* Integrated GC_win32_free_heap (as suggested by Ivan Demakov).
9103* Fixed Solaris 2.7 stack base finding problem.  (This may actually
9104have been done in an earlier alpha release.)
9105
9106
9107== [4.13alpha1] 1998-02-17 ==
9108
9109* Changed RS6000 STACKBOTTOM.
9110* Integrated Patrick Beard's Mac changes.
9111* Alpha1 didn't compile on Irix m.n, m < 6.
9112* Replaced Makefile.dj with a new one from Gary Leavens.
9113* Added Andrew Stitcher's changes to support SCO OpenServer.
9114* Added PRINT_BLACK_LIST, to allow debugging of high densities of false
9115pointers.
9116* Added code to debug allocator to keep track of return address
9117in GC_malloc caller, thus giving a bit more context.
9118* Changed default behavior of large block allocator to more
9119aggressively avoid fragmentation.  This is likely to slow down the
9120collector when it succeeds at reducing space cost.
9121* Integrated Fergus Henderson's CYGWIN32 changes.  They are untested,
9122but needed for newer versions.
9123* USE_MMAP had some serious bugs.  This caused the collector to fail
9124consistently on Solaris with -DSMALL_CONFIG.
9125* Added Linux threads support (thanks to Fergus Henderson).
9126
9127
9128== [4.12] 1997-08-26 ==
9129
9130* Fixed ElfW definition in dyn_load.c.
9131This prevented the dynamic library support from compiling on some
9132older ELF Linux systems.
9133* Fixed UTS4 port (which I apparently mangled during the integration).
9134(Thanks to Alistair Crooks.)
9135* "Make C++" failed on Suns with SC4.0, due to a problem with "bool".
9136Fixed in gc_priv.h.
9137* Added more pieces for GNU win32 (thanks to Timothy N. Newsham).
9138The current state of things should suffice for at least some
9139applications.
9140* Changed the out of memory retry count handling.  (This matters only
9141if GC_max_retries > 0, which is no longer the default.)
9142* If a /proc read failed repeatedly, GC_written_pages was not updated
9143correctly (thanks to Peter Chubb for diagnosing this).
9144* Under unlikely circumstances, the allocator could infinite loop in
9145an out of memory situation (thanks to Kenjiro Taura for
9146identifying the problem and supplying a fix).
9147* Fixed a syntactic error in the DJGPP code.  Also fixed a test program
9148problem with DJGPP (thanks to Fergus Henderson and Peter Monks).
9149* Atomic uncollectible objects were not treated correctly by the
9150incremental collector.  This resulted in weird log statistics and
9151occasional performance problems (thanks to Peter Chubb for pointing this out).
9152* Fixed some problems resulting from compilers that don't define
9153__STDC__.  In this case void * and char * were used inconsistently
9154in some cases.  (Void * should not have been used at all.  If
9155you have an ANSI superset compiler that does not define __STDC__,
9156please compile with -D__STDC__=0.  Thanks to Manuel Serrano and others
9157for pointing out the problem.)
9158* Fixed a compilation problem on Irix with -n32 and -DIRIX_THREADS.
9159Also fixed some other IRIX_THREADS problems which may or may not have
9160had observable symptoms.
9161* Fixed an HP PA compilation problem in dyn_load.c (thanks to
9162Philippe Queinnec).
9163* SEGV fault handlers sometimes did not get reset correctly (thanks
9164to David Pickens).
9165* Added a fix for SOLARIS_THREADS on Intel (thanks to David Pickens).
9166This probably needs more work to become functional.
9167* Fixed struct sigcontext_struct in os_dep.c for compilation under
9168Linux 2.1.X (thanks to Fergus Henderson).
9169* Changed the DJGPP STACKBOTTOM and DATASTART values to those ones suggested
9170(by Kristian Kristensen).  These may still not be right, but it is
9171it is likely to work more often than what was there before.  They may
9172even be exactly right.
9173* Added a #include <string.h> to test_cpp.cc.  This appears to help
9174with HP/UX and gcc (thanks to Assar Westerlund).
9175* Version 4.11 failed to run in incremental mode on recent 64-bit Irix
9176kernels.  This was a problem related to page unaligned heap segments.
9177Changed the code to page align heap sections on all platforms.
9178(I had mistakenly identified this as a kernel problem earlier.
9179It was not.)
9180* Version 4.11 did not make allocated storage executable, except on
9181one or two platforms, due to a bug in a #if test (thanks to David Grove
9182for pointing this out).
9183* Added sparc_sunos4_mach_dep.s to support Sun's compilers under SunOS4.
9184* Added GC_exclude_static_roots.
9185* Fixed the object size mapping algorithm.  This shouldn't matter,
9186but the old code was ugly.
9187* Heap checking code could die if one of the allocated objects was
9188larger than its base address.  (Unsigned underflow problem.  Thanks
9189to Clay Spence for isolating the problem.)
9190* Added RS6000 (AIX) dynamic library support and fixed STACK_BOTTOM (thanks
9191to Fred Stearns).
9192* Added Fergus Henderson's patches for improved robustness with large
9193heaps and lots of blacklisting.
9194* Added Peter Chubb's changes to support Solaris Pthreads, to support
9195MMAP allocation in Solaris, to allow Solaris to find dynamic libraries
9196through /proc, to add malloc_typed_ignore_off_page, and a few other
9197minor features and bug fixes.
9198* The Solaris 2 port should not use sbrk.  I received confirmation from
9199Sun that the use of sbrk and malloc in the same program is not
9200supported.  The collector now defines USE_MMAP by default on Solaris.
9201* Replaced the djgpp makefile with Gary Leavens' version.
9202* Fixed MSWIN32 detection test.
9203* Added Fergus Henderson's patches to allow putting the collector into
9204a DLL under GNU win32.
9205* Added Ivan V. Demakov's port to Watcom C on X86.
9206* Added Ian Piumarta's Linux/PowerPC port.
9207* Added PointerFreeGC to the placement options in gc_cpp.h (suggested by
9208Brian Burton).  This is of course unsafe, and may be controversial.
9209On the other hand, it seems to be needed often enough that it's worth
9210adding as a standard facility.
9211* Add Lars Farm's suggestions on building the collector for MacOS.

9215
9216(Changes not specified.)
9217
9218
9219== [4.11] 1996-12-03 ==
9220
9221* Rationalized (hopefully) GC_try_to_collect in an incremental collection
9222environment.  It appeared to not handle a call while a collection was in
9223progress, and was otherwise too conservative.
9224* Merged GC_reclaim_or_delete_all into GC_reclaim_all to get rid of some
9225code.
9226* Added Patrick Beard's Mac fixes, with substantial completely untested
9227modifications.
9228* Fixed the MPROTECT_VDB code to deal with large pages and imprecise
9229fault addresses (as on an UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.5).  Note that this
9230was not a problem in the default configuration, which uses PROC_VDB.
9231* The DEC Alpha assembly code needed to restore $gp between calls (thanks to
9232Fergus Henderson for tracking this down and supplying a patch).
9233* The write command for "de" was completely broken for large files.
9234I used the easiest portable fix, which involved changing the semantics
9235so that f.new is written instead of overwriting f.  That's safer anyway.
9236* Added README.solaris2 with a discussion of the possible problems of
9237mixing the collector's sbrk allocation with malloc/realloc.
9238* Changed the data segment starting address for SGI machines.  The
9239old code failed under IRIX6.
9240* Required double word alignment for MIPS.
9241* Various minor fixes to remove warnings.
9242* Attempted to fix some Solaris threads problems (reported by Zhiying Chen).
9243In particular, the collector could try to fork a thread with the
9244world stopped as part of GC_thr_init.  It also failed to deal with
9245the case in which the original thread terminated before the whole
9246process did.
9247* Added -DNO_EXECUTE_PERMISSION.  This has a major performance impact
9248on the incremental collector under Irix, and perhaps under other
9249operating systems.
9250* Added some code to support allocating the heap with mmap.  This may
9251be preferable under some circumstances.
9252* Integrated dynamic library support for HP (thanks to Knut Tvedten).
9253* Integrated James Clark's win32 threads support, and made a number
9254of changes to it (many of which suggested by Pontus Rydin).  This is still
9255not 100% solid.
9256* Integrated Alistair G. Crooks' support for UTS4 running on an Amdahl
9257370-class machine.
9258* Fixed a serious bug in explicitly typed allocation.  Objects requiring
9259large descriptors where handled in a way that usually resulted in
9260a segmentation fault in the marker (thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge
9261for helping to track this down).
9262* Added partial support for GNU win32 development (thanks to
9263Fergus Henderson).
9264* Added optional support for Java-style finalization semantics (thanks to
9265Patrick Bridges).  This is recommended only for Java implementations.
9266* GC_malloc_uncollectable faulted instead of returning 0 when out of
9267memory (thanks to Daniel R. Grayson for noticing).
9268* Calls to GC_base before the collector was initialized failed on a
9269DEC Alpha (thanks to Matthew Flatt).
9270* Added base pointer checking to GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER in debugging mode
9271(thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
9272* GC_debug_realloc failed for uncollectible objects (thanks to
9273Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
9274* Explicitly typed allocation could crash if it ran out of memory (thanks to
9275Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
9276* Added minimal support for a DEC Alpha running Linux.
9277* Fixed a problem with allocation of objects whose size overflowed
9278ptrdiff_t.  (This now fails unconditionally, as it should.)
9279* Added the beginning of Irix pthread support.
9280* Integrated Xiaokun Zhu's fixes for djgpp 2.01.
9281* Added SGI-style STL allocator support (gc_alloc.h).
9282* Fixed a serious bug in README.solaris2.
9283Multi-threaded programs must include
9284gc.h with SOLARIS_THREADS defined.
9285* Changed GC_free so it actually deallocates uncollectible objects (thanks
9286to Peter Chubb for pointing out the problem).
9287* Added Linux ELF support for dynamic libraries (thanks to Patrick Bridges).
9288* Changed the Borland cc configuration so that the assembler is not
9289required.
9290* Fixed a bug in the C++ test that caused it to fail in 64-bit
9291environments.
9292
9293
9294== [4.10t3] 1996-11-18 ==
9295
9296Some changes related to threads support.
9297
9298
9299== [4.10] 1996-02-19 ==
9300
9301* Fixed a typo around a call to GC_collect_or_expand in alloc.c.  It broke
9302handling of out of memory.  (Thanks to Patrick C. Beard for noticing.)
9303
9304
9305== [4.9] 1996-02-12 ==
9306
9307* More README.debugging fixes.
9308* Objects ready for finalization, but not finalized in the same GC
9309cycle, could be prematurely collected.  This occasionally happened
9310in test_cpp.
9311* Too little memory was obtained from the system for very large
9312objects.  That could cause a heap explosion if these objects were
9313not contiguous (e.g. under PCR), and too much of them was blacklisted.
9314* Due to an improper initialization, the collector was too hesitant to
9315allocate blacklisted objects immediately after system startup.
9316* Moved GC_arrays from the data into the bss segment by not explicitly
9317initializing it to zero.  This significantly
9318reduces the size of executables, and probably avoids some disk accesses
9319on program startup.  It's conceivable that it might break a port that I
9320didn't test.
9321* Fixed EMX_MAKEFILE to reflect the gc_c++.h to gc_cpp.h renaming which
9322occurred a while ago.
9323
9324
9325== [4.8] 1995-11-20 ==
9326
9327* Changed a "comment" in a MacOS specific part of mach_dep.c that caused
9328gcc to fail on other platforms.
9329
9330
9331== [4.7] 1995-11-18 ==
9332
9333* Fixed some compilation problems with -DCHECKSUMS (thanks to Ian Searle).
9334* Updated some Mac specific files (to synchronize with Patrick C. Beard).
9335* Fixed a serious bug for machines with non-word-aligned pointers.
9336(Thanks to Patrick C. Beard for pointing out the problem.  The collector
9337should fail almost any conceivable test immediately on such machines.)
9338
9339
9340== [4.6] 1995-11-09 ==
9341
9342* Added Linux ELF support (thanks to Arrigo Triulzi).
9343* GC_base crashed if it was called before any other GC_ routines.
9344This could happen if a gc_cleanup object was allocated outside the heap
9345before any heap allocation.
9346* The heap expansion heuristic was not stable if all objects had finalization
9347enabled.  Fixed finalize.c to count memory in finalization queue and
9348avoid explicit deallocation.  Changed alloc.c to also consider this count.
9349(This is still not recommended.  It's expensive if nothing else.  Thanks
9350to John Ellis for pointing this out.)
9351* GC_malloc_uncollectable(0) was broken (thanks to Phong Vo for pointing
9352this out).
9353* The collector didn't compile under Linux 1.3.X (thanks to Fred Gilham for
9354pointing this out).  The current workaround is ugly, but expected to be
9355temporary.
9356* Fixed a formatting problem for SPARC stack traces.
9357* Fixed some '=='s in os_dep.c that should have been assignments.
9358Fortunately these were in code that should never be executed anyway (thanks
9359to Fergus Henderson).
9360* Fixed the heap block allocator to only drop blacklisted blocks in small
9361chunks.  Made BL_LIMIT self adjusting.  (Both of these were in response
9362to heap growth observed by Paul Graham.)
9363* Fixed the Metrowerks/68K Mac code to also mark from a6 (thanks to
9364Patrick C. Beard).
9365* Significantly updated README.debugging.
9366* Fixed some problems with longjmps out of signal handlers, especially under
9367Solaris.  Added a workaround for the fact that siglongjmp doesn't appear to
9368do the right thing with -lthread under Solaris.
9369* Added MSDOS/djgpp port (thanks to Mitch Harris).
9370* Added "make reserved_namespace" and "make user_namespace".  The
9371first renames ALL "GC_xxx" identifiers as "_GC_xxx".  The second is the
9372inverse transformation.  Note that doing this is guaranteed to break all
9373clients written for the other names.
9374* descriptor field for kind NORMAL in GC_obj_kinds with ADD_BYTE_AT_END
9375defined should be -ALIGNMENT not WORDS_TO_BYTES(-1).  This is
9376a serious bug on machines with pointer alignment of less than a word.
9377* GC_ignore_self_finalize_mark_proc didn't handle pointers to very near the
9378end of the object correctly.  Caused failures of the C++ test on a DEC Alpha
9379with g++.
9380* gc_inl.h still had problems.  Partially fixed.  Added warnings at the
9381beginning to hopefully specify the remaining dangers.
9382* Added DATAEND definition to config.h.
9383* Fixed some of the .h file organization.  Fixed "make floppy".
9384
9385
9386== [4.5] 1995-06-14 ==
9387
9388* Fixed many minor and one major README bugs (thanks to Franklin Chen
9389for pointing out many of them).
9390* Fixed ALPHA/OSF/1 dynamic library support (thanks to Jonathan Bachrach).
9391* Added incremental GC support (MPROTECT_VDB) for Linux (with some
9392help from Bruno Haible).
9393* Altered SPARC recognition tests in gc.h and config.h (mostly as
9394suggested by Fergus Henderson).
9395* Added basic incremental GC support for win32, as implemented by
9396Windows NT and Windows 95.  GC_enable_incremental is a no-op
9397under win32s, which doesn't implement enough of the VM interface.
9398* Added -DLARGE_CONFIG.
9399* Fixed GC_..._ignore_off_page to also function without
9400-DALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
9401* (Hopefully) fixed RS/6000 port.  (Only the test was broken.)
9402* Fixed a performance bug in the non-incremental collector running
9403on machines supporting incremental collection with MPROTECT_VDB
9404(e.g. SunOS 4, DEC AXP).  This turned into a correctness bug under
9405win32s with win32 incremental collection.  (Not all memory protection
9406was disabled.)
9407* Fixed some ppcr related bit rot.
9408* Caused dynamic libraries to be unregistered before re-registering.
9409The old way turned out to be a performance bug on some machines.
9410* GC_root_size was not properly maintained under MSWIN32.
9411* Added -DNO_DEBUGGING and GC_dump.
9412* Fixed a couple of bugs arising with SOLARIS_THREADS +
9413REDIRECT_MALLOC.
9414* Added NetBSD/M68K port (thanks to Peter Seebach).
9415* Fixed a serious realloc bug.  For certain object sizes, the collector
9416wouldn't scan the expanded part of the object.  (Thanks to Clay Spence
9417for noticing the problem, and helping me to track it down.)
9418
9419
9420== [4.4] 1995-02-18 ==
9421
9422* ASM_CLEAR_CODE was erroneously defined for HP
9423PA machines, resulting in a compile error.
9424* Fixed OS/2 Makefile to create a library (thanks to Mark Boulter).
9425* Gc_cleanup objects didn't work if they were created on
9426the stack.  Fixed.
9427* One copy of Gc_cpp.h in the distribution was out of
9428synch, and failed to document some known compiler
9429problems with explicit destructor invocation.  Partially
9430fixed.  There are probably other compilers on which
9431gc_cleanup is miscompiled.
9432* Fixed Makefile to pass C compiler flags to C++ compiler.
9433* Added Mac fixes.
9434* Fixed os_dep.c to work around what appears to be
9435a new and different VirtualQuery bug under newer
9436versions of win32S.
9437* GC_non_gc_bytes was not correctly maintained by
9438GC_free.  Fixed (thanks to James Clark).
9439* Added GC_set_max_heap_size.
9440* Changed allocation code to ignore blacklisting if it is preventing
9441use of a very large block of memory.  This has the advantage
9442that naive code allocating very large objects is much more
9443likely to work.  The downside is you might no
9444longer find out that such code should really use
9445GC_malloc_ignore_off_page.
9446* Changed GC_printf under win32 to close and reopen the file
9447between calls.  FAT file systems otherwise make the log file
9448useless for debugging.
9449* Added GC_try_to_collect and GC_get_bytes_since_gc.  These
9450allow starting an abortable collection during idle times.
9451This facility does not require special OS support.  (Thanks to
9452Michael Spertus of Geodesic Systems for suggesting this.  It was
9453actually an easy addition.  Kumar Srikantan previously added a similar
9454facility to a now ancient version of the collector.  At the time
9455this was much harder, and the result was less convincing.)
9456* Added some support for the Borland development environment (thanks
9457to John Ellis and Michael Spertus).
9458* Removed a misfeature from checksums.c that caused unexpected
9459heap growth (thanks to Scott Schwartz).
9460* Changed finalize.c to call WARN if it encounters a finalization cycle.
9461WARN is defined in gc_priv.h to write a message, usually to stdout.
9462In many environments, this may be inappropriate.
9463* Renamed NO_PARAMS in gc.h to GC_NO_PARAMS, thus adhering to my own
9464naming convention.
9465* Added GC_set_warn_proc to intercept warnings.
9466* Fixed Amiga port (thanks to Michel Schinz).
9467* Fixed a bug in mark.c that could result in an access to unmapped
9468memory from GC_mark_from_mark_stack on machines with unaligned
9469pointers.
9470* Fixed a win32 specific performance bug that could result in scanning of
9471objects allocated with the system malloc.
9472* Added REDIRECT_MALLOC.
9473
9474
9475== [4.3] 1994-12-23 ==
9476
9477* Fixed SPARC alignment problem with GC_DEBUG.
9478* Fixed Solaris threads /proc workaround.  The real
9479problem was an interaction with mprotect.
9480* Incorporated fix from Patrick Beard for gc_c++.h (now gc_cpp.h).
9481* Slightly improved allocator space utilization by
9482fixing the GC_size_map mechanism.
9483* Integrated some Sony News and MIPS RISCos 4.51
9484patches (thanks to Nobuyuki Hikichi at Software Research Associates,
9485Inc., Japan).
9486* Fixed HP_PA alignment problem (thanks to Brian F. Dennis).
9487* Added GC_same_obj and friends.  Changed GC_base
9488to return 0 for pointers past the end of large objects.
9489Improved GC_base performance with ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS
9490on machines with a slow integer mod operation.
9491Added GC_PTR_ADD, GC_PTR_STORE, etc. to prepare
9492for preprocessor.
9493* changed the default on most UNIX machines to be that
9494signals are not disabled during critical GC operations.
9495This is still ANSI-conforming, though somewhat dangerous
9496in the presence of signal handlers. But the performance
9497cost of the alternative is sometimes problematic.
9498Can be changed back with a minor Makefile edit.
9499* renamed IS_STRING in gc.h, to CORD_IS_STRING, thus
9500following my own naming convention.  Added the function
9501CORD_to_const_char_star.
9502* Fixed a gross bug in GC_finalize.  Symptom: occasional
9503address faults in that function (thanks to Anselm Baird-Smith).
9504* Added port to ICL DRS6000 running DRS/NX.  Restructured
9505things a bit to factor out common code, and remove obsolete
9506code.  Collector should now run under SUNOS5 with either
9507mprotect or /proc dirty bits.  (Thanks to Douglas Steel.)
9508* More bug fixes and workarounds for Solaris 2.X.  (These were
9509mostly related to putting the collector in a dynamic library,
9510which didn't really work before.  Also SOLARIS_THREADS
9511didn't interact well with dl_open.) (Thanks to Brian Lewis.)
9512* Fixed a serious performance bug on the DEC Alpha.  The text
9513segment was getting registered as part of the root set.
9514(Amazingly, the result was still fast enough that the bug
9515was not conspicuous.) The fix works on OSF/1, version 1.3.
9516Hopefully it also works on other versions of OSF/1 ...
9517* Fixed a bug in GC_clear_roots.
9518* Fixed a bug in GC_generic_malloc_words_small that broke
9519gc_inl.h (reported by Antoine de Maricourt).
9520* Fixed some problems with cord/de under Linux.
9521* Fixed some cord problems, notably with CORD_riter4.
9522* Added DG/UX port (thanks to Ben A. Mesander).
9523* Added finalization registration routines with weaker ordering
9524constraints.  (This is necessary for C++ finalization with
9525multiple inheritance, since the compiler often adds self-cycles.)
9526* Filled the holes in the SCO port (thanks to Michael Arnoldus).
9527* Completely rewritten the documentation in the interface gc_c++.h
9528(later renamed gc_cpp.h) making it both clearer and more precise (done by
9529John Ellis).
9530* The definition of accessibility now ignores pointers from a finalizable
9531object (an object with a clean-up function) to itself (done by John Ellis).
9532This allows objects with virtual base classes to be finalizable by the
9533collector.  Compilers typically implement virtual base classes using
9534pointers from an object to itself, which under the old definition of
9535accessibility prevented objects with virtual base classes from ever
9536being collected or finalized.
9537* gc_cleanup now includes gc as a virtual base.  This was enabled by
9538the change in the definition of accessibility (by John Ellis).
9539* Added support for operator new[] (by John Ellis).  Since most compilers
9540don't yet support operator new[], it is conditionalized on
9541-DOPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY.  The code is untested, but its trivial and looks
9542correct.
9543* The test program test_gc_c++ (later renamed test_cpp.cc)
9544tries to test for the C++-specific functionality not tested by the
9545other programs.
9546* Added unistd.h include to misc.c.  (Needed for ppcr.)
9547* Added PowerMac port (thanks to Patrick C. Beard).
9548* Fixed "srcdir"-related Makefile problems.  Changed things so
9549that all externally visible include files always appear in the
9550include subdirectory of the source.  Made gc.h directly
9551includable from C++ code (thanks to Per Bothner).
9552* Changed Intel code to also mark from ebp (thanks to Kevin Warne).
9553* Renamed C++ related files so they could live in a FAT
9554file system (thanks to Charles Fiterman).
9555* Changed Windows NT Makefile to include C++ support in
9556gc.lib.  Added C++ test as Makefile target.
9557
9558
9559== [4.2] 1994-08-03 ==
9560
9561* Multiple bug fixes/workarounds in the Solaris threads version.
9562(It occasionally failed to locate some register contents for
9563marking.  It also turns out that thr_suspend and friends are
9564unreliable in Solaris 2.3.  Dirty bit reads appear
9565to be unreliable under some weird
9566circumstances.  My stack marking code
9567contained a serious performance bug.  The new code is
9568extremely defensive, and has not failed in several CPU
9569hours of testing.  But no guarantees ...)
9570* Added MacOS support.  (Thanks to Patrick C. Beard.
9571David Chase suggested several improvements.)
9572* Fixed several syntactic bugs in gc_c++.h and friends.  (These
9573didn't bother g++, but did bother most other compilers.)
9574Fixed gc_c++.h finalization interface.
9575* 64 bit alignment for allocated objects was not guaranteed in a
9576few cases in which it should have been.
9577* Added GC_malloc_atomic_ignore_off_page.
9578* Added GC_collect_a_little.
9579* Added some prototypes to gc.h.
9580* Some other minor bug fixes (notably in Makefile).
9581* Fixed OS/2 / EMX port (thanks to Ari Huttunen).
9582* Fixed AmigaDOS port (thanks to Michel Schinz).
9583* Fixed the DATASTART definition under Solaris.  There
9584was a 1 in 16K chance of the collector missing the first
958564K of static data (and thus crashing).
9586* Fixed some blatant anachronisms in the README file.
9587* Fixed PCR-Makefile for upcoming PPCR release.
9588
9589
9590== [4.1] 1994-05-20 ==
9591
9592* Changed finalization implementation to guarantee that
9593finalization procedures are called outside of the allocation
9594lock, making direct use of the interface a little less dangerous.
9595MAY BREAK EXISTING CLIENTS that assume finalizers
9596are protected by a lock.  Since there seem to be few multi-threaded
9597clients that use finalization, this is hopefully not much of
9598a problem.
9599* Fixed a gross bug in CORD_prev.
9600* Fixed a bug in blacklst.c that could result in unbounded
9601heap growth during startup on machines that do not clear
9602memory obtained from the OS (e.g. win32S).
9603* Ported de editor to win32/win32S.  (This is now the only
9604version with a mouse-sensitive UI.  Thanks to Rob Haack for the
9605implementation based on the generic Windows application template.)
9606* Added GC_malloc_ignore_off_page to allocate large arrays
9607in the presence of ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
9608* Changed GC_call_with_alloc_lock to not disable signals in
9609the single-threaded case.
9610* Reduced retry count in GC_collect_or_expand for garbage
9611collecting when out of memory.
9612* Made uncollectible allocations bypass black-listing, as they
9613should.
9614* Fixed a bug in typed_test in test.c that could cause (legitimate)
9615GC crashes.
9616* Fixed some potential synchronization problems in finalize.c
9617* Fixed a real locking problem in typd_mlc.c.
9618* Worked around an AIX 3.2 compiler feature that results in
9619out of bounds memory references.
9620* Partially worked around an IRIX5.2 beta problem (which may
9621or may not persist to the final release).
9622* Fixed a bug in the heap integrity checking code that could
9623result in explicitly deallocated objects being identified as
9624smashed.  Fixed a bug in the dbg_mlc stack saving code
9625that caused old argument pointers to be considered live.
9626* Fixed a bug in CORD_ncmp (and hence CORD_str).
9627* Repaired the OS2 port, which had suffered from bit rot
9628in 4.0.  Worked around what appears to be CSet/2 V1.0
9629optimizer bug.
9630* Fixed a Makefile bug for target "c++".
9631
9632
9633== [4.0] 1994-04-07 ==
9634
9635* Added support for Solaris threads (which was possible
9636only by reimplementing some fraction of Solaris threads,
9637since Sun doesn't currently make the thread debugging
9638interface available).
9639* Added non-threads win32 and win32S support.
9640* (Grudgingly, with suitable muttering of obscenities) renamed
9641files so that the collector distribution could live on a FAT
9642file system.  Files that are guaranteed to be useless on
9643a PC still have long names.  Gc_inline.h and gc_private.h
9644still exist, but now just include  gc_inl.h and gc_priv.h.
9645* Fixed a really obscure bug in finalization that could cause
9646undetected mark stack overflows.  (I would be surprised if
9647any real code ever tickled this one.)
9648* Changed finalization code to dynamically resize the hash
9649tables it maintains.  (This probably does not matter for well-
9650-written code.  It no doubt does for C++ code that overuses
9651destructors.)
9652* Added typed allocation primitives.  Rewrote the marker to
9653accommodate them with more reasonable efficiency.  This
9654change should also speed up marking for GC_malloc allocated
9655objects a little.  See gc_typed.h for new primitives.  (Thanks to
9656Zhong Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the
9657current typed allocation facility.)
9658* Improved debugging facilities slightly.  Allocation time
9659stack traces are now kept by default on SPARC/SUNOS4.  (Thanks to
9660Scott Schwartz.)
9661* Added better support for small heap applications.
9662* Significantly extended cord package.  Fixed a bug in the
9663implementation of lazily read files.  Printf and friends now
9664have cord variants.  Cord traversals are a bit faster.
9665* Made ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS recognition the default.
9666* Fixed de so that it can run in constant space, independent
9667of file size.  Added simple string searching to cords and de.
9668* Added the Hull-Ellis C++ interface (supplied by Jesse Hull and John Ellis).
9669* Added dynamic library support for OSF/1 (thanks to Alan Dosser and
9670Tim Bingham at DEC).
9671* Changed argument to GC_expand_hp to be expressed
9672in units of bytes instead of heap blocks.  (Necessary
9673since the heap block size now varies depending on
9674configuration.  The old version was never very clean.)
9675* Added GC_get_heap_size().  The previous "equivalent"
9676was broken.
9677* Restructured the Makefile a bit.
9678* Added FreeBSD port (provided by Jeffrey Hsu).
9679
9680
9681== [3.7] 1994-03-15 ==
9682
9683* Added a workaround for an HP/UX compiler bug.
9684* Fixed another stack clearing performance bug.  Reworked
9685that code once more.
9686
9687
9688== [3.6] 1994-01-14 ==
9689
9690* fixed a bug in the mark stack growth code that was introduced
9691in 3.4.
9692* fixed Makefile to work around DEC AXP compiler tail recursion
9693bug.
9694
9695
9696== [3.5] ==
9697
9698* Minor collections now mark from roots only once, if that
9699doesn't cause an excessive pause.
9700* The stack clearing heuristic was refined to prevent anomalies
9701with very heavily recursive programs and sparse stacks.
9702* Fixed a bug that prevented mark stack growth in some cases.
9703GC_objects_are_marked should be set to TRUE after a call
9704to GC_push_roots and as part of GC_push_marked, since
9705both can now set mark bits.  I think this is only a performance
9706bug, but I wouldn't bet on it.  It's certainly very hard to argue
9707that the old version was correct.
9708* Fixed an incremental collection bug that prevented it from
9709working at all when HBLKSIZE != getpagesize()
9710* Changed dynamic_loading.c to include gc_priv.h before testing
9711DYNAMIC_LOADING.  SunOS dynamic library scanning
9712must have been broken in 3.4.
9713* Object size rounding now adapts to program behavior.
9714* Added a workaround (provided by Manuel Serrano and
9715colleagues) to a long-standing SunOS 4.X (and 3.X) ld bug
9716that I had incorrectly assumed to have been squished.
9717The collector was broken if the text segment size was within
971832 bytes of a multiple of 8K bytes, and if the beginning of
9719the data segment contained interesting roots.  The workaround
9720assumes a demand-loadable executable.  The original may have
9721have "worked" in some other cases.
9722* Added dynamic library support under IRIX5.
9723* Added support for EMX under OS/2 (thanks to Ari Huttunen).
9724* Added support of Motorola 88K processor running CX/UX (by Brent Benson).
9725
9726
9727== [3.4] ==
9728
9729* Fixed a performance bug in GC_realloc.
9730* Updated the amiga port.
9731* Added NetBSD and 386BSD ports (supplied by Alistair G. Crooks).
9732* Added cord library.
9733* Added trivial performance enhancement for
9734ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (do not scan last word).
9735
9736
9737== [3.3] 1993-10-02 ==
9738
9739* PCR-specific bugs (thanks to Neil Sharman).
9740* Missing locking in GC_free, redundant FASTUNLOCK
9741in GC_malloc_stubborn, and 2 bugs in
9742GC_unregister_disappearing_link (pointed out by Neil Sharman).
9743* Common symbols allocated by the SunOS4.X dynamic loader
9744were not included in the root set.
9745* Bug in GC_finalize (reported by Brian Beuning and Alan Dosser).
9746* Merged Amiga port from Jesper Peterson (untested).
9747* Merged NeXT port from Thomas Funke (significantly
9748modified and untested).  (Also thanks to Brian D. Carlstrom for
9749the supplied the NeXT ports.)
9750
9751
9752== [3.2] ==
9753
9754Fixed a serious and not entirely repeatable bug in
9755the incremental collector.  It appeared only when dirty bit info
9756on the roots was available, which is normally only under Solaris.
9757It also added GC_general_register_disappearing_link, and some
9758testing code.  Interface.c disappeared.
9759
9760
9761== [3.1] ==
9762
9763* A workaround for a SunOS 4.X SPARC C compiler
9764misfeature that caused problems when the collector was turned into
9765a dynamic library.
9766* A fix for a bug in GC_base that could result in a memory fault.
9767* A fix for a performance bug (and several other misfeatures) pointed
9768out by Dave Detlefs and Alan Dosser.
9769* Use of dirty bit information for static data under Solaris 2.X.
9770* DEC Alpha/OSF1 support (thanks to Alan Dosser).
9771* Incremental collection on more platforms.
9772* A more refined heap expansion policy.  Less space usage by default.
9773* Various minor enhancements to reduce space usage, and to reduce
9774the amount of memory scanned by the collector.
9775* Uncollectible allocation without per object overhead.
9776* More conscientious handling of out-of-memory conditions.
9777* Fixed a bug in debugging stubborn allocation.
9778* Fixed a bug that resulted in occasional erroneous reporting of smashed
9779objects with debugging allocation.
9780* Fixed bogus leak reports of size 4096 blocks with FIND_LEAK.
9781
9782
9783== [3.0] ==
9784
9785Added generational/incremental collection and stubborn objects.
9786
9787
9788== [2.6] 1993-04-27 ==
9789
9790(Changes not specified.)
9791
9792
9793== [2.5] ==
9794
9795* Removed an explicit call to exit(1)
9796* Fixed calls to GC_printf and GC_err_printf, so the correct number of
9797arguments are always supplied.  The OS/2 C compiler gets confused if
9798the number of actuals and the number of formals differ.  (ANSI C
9799doesn't require this to work.  The ANSI sanctioned way of doing things
9800causes too many compatibility problems.)
9801
9802
9803== [2.4] 1993-01-26 ==
9804
9805Added GC_free_space_divisor as a tuning knob, added
9806support for OS/2 and linux, and fixed the following bugs:
9807* On machines with unaligned pointers (e.g. Sun 3), every 128th word could
9808fail to be considered for marking.
9809* Dynamic_load.c erroneously added 4 bytes to the length of the data and
9810bss sections of the dynamic library.  This could result in a bad memory
9811reference if the actual length was a multiple of a page.  (Observed on
9812Sun 3.  Can probably also happen on a Sun 4.)
9813(Thanks to Robert Brazile for pointing out that the Sun 3 version
9814was broken.  Dynamic library handling is still broken on Sun 3s
9815under 4.1.1U1, but apparently not 4.1.1.  If you have such a machine,
9816use -Bstatic.)
9817
9818
9819== [2.3] ==
9820
9821* Added ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
9822* Missing declaration of etext in the A/UX version.
9823* Some PCR root-finding problems.
9824* Blacklisting was not 100% effective, because the plausible future
9825heap bounds were being miscalculated.
9826* GC_realloc didn't handle out-of-memory correctly.
9827* GC_base could return a nonzero value for addresses inside free blocks.
9828* test.c wasn't really thread safe, and could erroneously report failure
9829in a multi-threaded environment.  (The locking primitives need to be
9830replaced for other threads packages.)
9831* GC_CONS was thoroughly broken.
9832* On a SPARC with dynamic linking, signals stayed disabled while the
9833client code was running (thanks to Manuel Serrano).
9834
9835
9836== [2.2] ==
9837
9838* GC_realloc could fail to extend the size of the object for certain large
9839object sizes.
9840* A blatant subscript range error in GC_printf, which unfortunately
9841wasn't exercised on machines with sufficient stack alignment constraints.
9842* GC_register_displacement did the wrong thing if it was called after
9843any allocation had taken place.
9844* The leak finding code would eventually break after 2048 byte
9845byte objects leaked.
9846* interface.c didn't compile.
9847* The heap size remained much too small for large stacks.
9848* The stack clearing code behaved badly for large stacks, and perhaps
9849on HP/PA machines.
9850
9851
9852== [2.1] ==
9853
9854* The first stable version since 1.9.
9855* Added support for PPCR.
9856
9857
9858== [2.0] ==
9859
9860* Introduced a consistent naming convention for collector
9861routines and added support for registering dynamic library data segments
9862in the standard mark_roots.c (original code supporting the SunOS dynamic
9863loader provided by Bill Janssen).  Most of the data structures were revamped.
9864The treatment of interior pointers was completely changed.  Finalization
9865was added.  Support for locking was added.  Object kinds were added.
9866We added a black listing facility to avoid allocating at addresses known
9867to occur as integers somewhere in the address space.  Much of this
9868was accomplished by adapting ideas and code from the PCR collector.
9869The test program was changed and expanded.
9870
9871
9872== [1.9] 1992-01-29 ==
9873
9874* fixed a major bug in gc_realloc.
9875
9876

9879* added ULTRIX support in gc_private.h.  (Robert Brazile originally supplied
9880the ULTRIX code.  Alan Dosser and Regis Cridlig subsequently provided updates
9881and information on variation between ULTRIX systems.)

9891* Does not use compile time determined values
9892for the stack base.  This no longer works on Sun 3s, since Sun 3/80s use
9893a different stack base.  We now use a straightforward heuristic on all
9894machines on which it is known to work (incl. Sun 3s) and compile-time
9895determined values for the rest.  There should really be library calls
9896to determine such values.

9901* Fixed spurious
9902assembly language assignments to TMP_SP.  Only the assignment in the PC/RT
9903code is necessary.  On other machines, with certain compiler options,
9904the assignments can lead to an unsaved register being overwritten.
9905Known to cause problems under SunOS 3.5 WITHOUT the -O option.  (With
9906-O the compiler recognizes it as dead code.  It probably shouldn't,
9907but that's another story.)
9908The SPARC-specific code was originally contributed by Mark Weiser.
9909The Encore Multimax modifications were supplied by Kevin Kenny.
9910The adaptation to the IBM PC/RT is largely
9911due to Vernon Lee, on machines made available to Rice by IBM.
9912Much of the HP specific code and a number of good suggestions for improving
9913the generic code are due to Walter Underwood.
9914Parag Patel supplied the A/UX code.
9915Manuel Serrano supplied linux and Sony News specific code.
