build:
- configure step will generate relevant CFLAGS.
- build profiles are for convenience (developers can use themu
for cross-compilation).
regressions:
- Renamed ck_barrier unit tests to work-around behavior
of Solaris linker.
- Adopted use of a PTHREAD_CFLAGS variable.
ck_cc:
- Added internal CK_CC_IMM macro for compilers that are
verbose against impossible inline constraints (or limited
optimizers).
ck_pr/x86*:
- Adopted CK_CC_IMM macro.
- Dropped redundant constraints.
This work was mostly completed by Theo Schlossnagle
<jesus@omniti.com>, much thanks to him. He has
also provided access to a machine with Sun Studio 12.
The barriers have been restructured into individual file
per implementation. Some micro-optimizations were implemented
for some barriers (caching common computations in the barrier).
State subsription is now explicit with the TID counter allocated
on a per-barrier basis.
Tournament barriers remaining and then another round will be done
for correctness and algorithmic improvements.
