lanes/Makefile, branch v3.2.0

lanes version 3.2.0

2012-08-22T19:36:37+00:00

* keeper internals implemented in C instead of Lua for better performances * fixed arguments checks in linda:limit() and linda:set()

one more step toward 5.2 compatibility

2012-07-10T19:43:32+00:00

* lua51-lanes renamed lanes.core * keeper state microcode is no longer embedded inside lanes.core, but located and loaded with package.loaders[2] * changed rockspec build type from "make" to "builtin"

* process exit change: close everything at GC when main state closes, not when atexit() handlers are processed

2011-11-05T16:31:02+00:00

* Lua 5.2-style module: * module() is no longer used to implement lanes.lua * a global "lanes" variable is no longer created when the module is required * the Lanes module table is returned instead * Lanes must be initialized before used: * the first occurence of 'require "lanes"' produces a minimal interface that only contains a configure() function * the remainder of the interface is made available once this function is called * subsequent calls to configure() do nothing * configure() controls the number of keeper states and the startup of timers * LuaJIT 2 compatibility * non-Lua functions are no longer copied by creating a C closure from a C pointer, but through 2-way lookup tables * this means that if a lane function body pulls non-Lua functions, the lane generator description must contain the list of libraries and modules that exports them * introduces a change in configuration .globals management: contents are copied *after* std libs are loaded * new .required configuration entry to list modules that must be require()'ed before lane body is transferred * lane:cancel() wakes up waiting lindas like what is done at lane shutdown

* linda uses a fast FIFO implementation to speed up data exchanges

2011-04-18T06:25:23+00:00

* new linda:count() method * new linda batched data read mode * proper key type check in all linda methods * fix setup-vc.cmd to support Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 7 64 bits * bugfix: release keeper state mutex at desinit

* fixed potential crash at application shutdown when calling lua_close() on a killed thread's VM.

2011-03-01T20:12:56+00:00

* exposed cancel_test() in the lanes to enable manual testing for cancellation requests. * removed kludgy {globals={threadName}} support, replaced with a new function set_debug_threadname().

Fixed application hang-up because keeper state was not released in case of errors thrown by inter-state data copy for unsupported types

Updated CHANGES

2011-01-29T16:40:50+00:00

Fixed makefile so that make finds lua.exe Updated contact information in documentation

Take all code from Asko Kauppi's SVN server, and push it here so that the github repository becomes the official Lanes source codebase.

2011-01-04T20:31:17+00:00

Note that Asko's SVN server holds version 2.0.9, whereas this is version 2.0.10, but I don't see any real need to update SVN if it is to become deprecated. Next steps: - upgrade the rockspec to the latest version - make the html help available online somewhere Signed-off-by: Benoit Germain
