By take and releasing locks twice per channel in the case where nothing
is reading, there was an opportunity for ev/select to hang in the
multithreaded case. Also silence valgrind/helgrind errors.
The sandboxing API is meant to make janet a bit more attractive
for certain application embedding use cases. The sandboxing API
puts limits on what system resources the interpreter can access.
Adds extra information to default information from supervisor
channels. For threaded channels as supervisors, we don't get
the source fiber so identifying the source of messages was not
possible. This change allows better multithreading with supervisors.
Should make janet a bit easier to use. Also changes the
header to not expose the size of native mutexes and rwlocks, except
with janet_os_mutex_size and janet_os_rwlock_size.
FFI may be best implemented as an external library
(libffi has incompatible license to Janet) or as code
that takes void * and wraps then into Janet C functions
given a function signature. Either way, we need to some way
to load symbols from arbitrary dynamic libraries.
This is more intuitive and avoids the possibilty of strange code
to resume or cancel a fiber after it was scheduled but before it was
entered for the first time.
handles returned by CreateFileA and FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
support reading from arbitrary offsets.
The offset is passed to ReadFile in through the OVERLAPPED structure.
Since state->overlapped is zeroed ev_machine_read
ReadFile would always read from the start of the file and never finish
This commit changes ev_machine_read to update the offset to
the number of bytes read before calling ReadFile.
Rather than manual reference counting for suspended fibers, we
automate the process by incrementing "extra_listeners" every time
we suspend a fiber in the event loop, and decrement when that fiber
is resumed. In this manner, we keep track of the number of suspending
fibers in a simpler, more correct way.
Priorly we only checked exactly one state when an event was received.
This was incorrect. A state may have a next state, an action to take
after the first in the list of states has been taken. This change
acknowledges that and makes the code work with the state list vs just
the head of the list.
Don't use a timer filter, just set the timeout on each call to kevent.
Should hopefully work around the 1ms minimum on NetBSD and be possibly
more performant.
FreeBSD is the only BSD supporting ABSTIME timers, whereas the rest
demand intervals. Janet operates on timestamps, which are absolute
times, as per ABSTIME. The idea was to use that under FreeBSD but not
the other BSDs. This commit changes that since ABSTIME breaks when the
timeout supplied is for a time prior to whatever the time is
now (invalid argument). We now utilize the same logic we use on the
other BSDs with FreeBSD to effect interval timeouts since intervals are
absolutely sometime beyond now, be it now and less than a millisecond,
or more than a millisecond. This will hopefully unbreak BSD builds when
running the test suite.
Minimum interval for a timer must be 1 or more (or we get EINVAL) and
Janet fails tests and halts events that the programmer may still be
interested in.
A comptime known value of 0 for data in EV_SET with EVFILT_TIMER causes
a complete compilation failure (fails to link). This fixes it by making
it a 1 instead of a 0 for amount of milliseconds in the interval to wait
under NetBSD.
