makes the test logs way more readable
Believe me: no one will ever notice a "TODO"
entry in the logs, when it showed up for
more than some months.
Thus I've created some new tickets, mostly
tagged as "QA" and placed the ticket number
at the corresponding locations in the source
This adds global exclusive advisory file locks on a per-thread basis.
Only exclusive locking for a whole file is supported to setup headers etc.
Finer grained locking will be handled somewhere else.
We will need cluster/page aligned access for certain files (indices),
this files will contain an initial header describing the contents. A bias
is used to step over this header and align the following data.
* add frontend interfaces to file to get a mmaping
* SECTION macro to encapsulate mmap access
* mmap_address() translating an actual offset to address
* add some tests
* some test cosmetics
* plouj/second-tp-attempt:
added two sync tests
show the state name string
it is more proper to use cond_sync flags for *CONDITION_SECTIONs
add a threads/threadpool NOBUG flag hierarchy
replace an old test with a compile-only one which spawns way too many threads
increase the delay in threads to 10ms
wrap prime test in usleep() to make the thread likely to be re-scheduled
* commit 'dc87e78590ea86615d3ebe90d23af4548445b941':
add a two-thread acquire test
show the state of the thread in question
minor fixes: remove an old comment and change another
fix the prime test algorithm
use unsigned long for even more digits!
This removes the explicit Sync things from the thread wraper since
the functionality is almost exactly provided by the backend.
Thread encapsulates a lumiera thread handle now, but this is strictly
optional and might be dropped on the floor (using a temporary as thread).
Thread has a sync() function which allows user controlled syncronous
startup:
Thread("foo", myoperation).sync();
will startup myoperation and only return from the ctor after myoperation
called a matching lumiera_thread_sync().
The related tests need to initialize/destroy the threadpool accordingly
