Several users in the past have noted it was difficult for them
to decide what spinlock implementation to use. In light of this,
a light-weight greedy default is chosen (currently ck_spinlock_fas).
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.
Moved rdtsc and affinity logic to a single file which other
regression tests use. Single point of reference will ease
porting these to future architectures and platforms. Removed
invalid Copyright statement.
Added CK_CC_USED to force some code generation that I found
useful for debugging.
Added ck_stack latency tests and a modified version of djoseph's
modifications to benchmark.h for spinlock latency tests.
