2004-08-24. It should be unnecessary now.
* msg.cc (client_request_msg::serve): Release process critical
section as early as possible.
* sem.cc (client_request_sem::serve): Ditto.
* shm.cc (client_request_shm::serve): Ditto.
* process.cc: Use hold and release method calls instead of
EnterCriticalSection/LeaveCriticalSection calls throughout.
* process.h (_hold): Rename from hold. Take filename and linenumber
parameter for logging. Define matching hold macro.
(release): Ditto.
1.68: Reduce the overhead of semop() by using the kernel stack
instead of malloc'd memory to store the operations array if it
is small enough to fit.
1.69: Adjust the number of processes waiting on a semaphore properly
if we're woken up in the middle of sleeping.
* path.cc (normalize_win32_path): Only look for : in second position.
Avoid infinite loop with names starting in double dots.
(mount_info::conv_to_win32_path): Do not worry about a trailing dot.
(hash_path_name): Ditto.
starting.
* child_info.h (init_child_info): Remove pid argument from declaration.
* cygheap.h (init_cygheap::pid): New element.
* dcrt0.cc (dll_crt0_0): Eliminate handling of now-noexistent cygpid parameter
in child_info struct. Set forkee to 'true' rather than cygpid since the pid
value was never used.
(dll_crt0_1): Ditto.
(_dll_crt0): Ditto.
* fork.cc (fork_child): Don't wait for sigthread. This is handled in the fork
call now.
(fork_parent): Remove obsolete pid argument from init_child_info call. Don't
do anything special with cygpid when DEBUGGING.
(fork): Delay all signals during fork.
(fork_init): Don't do anything special when DEBUGGING.
* pinfo.cc (set_myself): Remove pid parameter. Use new pid field in cygheap.
(pinfo_init): Don't pass pid argument to set_myself.
* sigproc.cc (sig_send): Wait for dwProcessId to be non-zero as well as
sendsig.
(init_child_info): Eliminate handling of pid.
(wait_sig): Implement method to temporarily hold off sending signals.
* sigproc.h (__SIGHOLD): New enum.
(__SIGNOHOLD): Ditto.
* spawn.cc (spawn_guts): Remove obsolete pid argument from init_child_info
call.
* cygheap.h (cwdstuff::drive_length): New member.
(cwdstuff::get_drive): New method.
* path.cc (normalize_win32_path): Simplify by using cwdstuff::get_drive.
(mount_info::conv_to_win32_path): Use cwdstuff::get_drive as default for /.
(cwdstuff::set): Initialize drive_length.
indicate that it is "special".
* thread.cc (pthread::exit): If __sdidinit is < 0, it was never really
initialized so reset it to 0 before calling _reclaim_reent.
