* new directory structure in doc/devel to take RFC's
rfc/ - Final RFC's
rfc_pending/ - Emerging RFC's
rfc_dropped/ - Rejected or Parked RFC's
* Template directory doc/template/ for just a rfc.txt
for creating new RFC's yet
* admin/rfc.sh a script to maintain RFC's
Describes some of the design decisions and rationales in a rather sketchy
way explained. New Developers may find this Document useful to get an idea
about how the different components work together.
* tmpbuf got its own implementation files
* Some optimizations on the tmpbuf implementation, handling tiny,
small and huge allocations better.
* tiny allocation smaller than sizeof(void*) are not aligned
* Reduced the ring sizes to 16 (configureable in tmpbuf.h)
This is only the tmpbuf refactoring, fixes following on the next
commits.
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.
test.h introduces a PLANNED_TEST() macro for C code, shows what tests
are provided and so on (the nobug version did that since some time).
test names are now passed as identifers and translated to strings by the
macros.
A lot fixes for existing tests, replace some printfs with ECHO, cosmetics.
one threadpool (sync_many) test is broken and set to PLANNED, this needs
further testsuite support for dispatching output.
add a TEST nobug flag to test.h
* 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
On my slow laptop some tests fail because of timeouts under
valgrind, going to 55/60 seconds should be sane.
Fixing an undiscovered bug ignoring timeout configs in test.sh.
