ObjFW  History of src/threading.h of 452bdb4a5f026d53

Some systems do not provide the functionality. file: [3939aad58d] check-in: [b5430ac44f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6042 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The name of the thread may only be set from the thread itself. So the
thread should read the property on start and set its name. file: [46db014c33] check-in: [1494d3f6f1] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6286 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This explicitly excludes threading.h, as adding nullability annotations
requires adding them everywhere in the file. However, the types in there
are implementation defined, and might be pointers or not: Adding none
when it's a pointer would be an error, and adding one when it's not a
pointer would be an error, too. file: [e37b27b008] check-in: [c5b3c8ea87] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6326 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [f3dd04ca64] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6290 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [394f138c54] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6283 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Also changes the naming slightly (leave -> exit). This is more similar
to the membar_*() API NetBSD and OpenBSD provides. file: [91e8883d41] check-in: [24796a2dc1] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6277 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Multiline preprocessor directives now always indent the continued lines
by 4 spaces. The only exception are defines that define to code blocks:
Those are still indented by a tab in order to align with the rest of the
code. file: [ab485ea64f] check-in: [543eb96c02] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6558 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Using C99 in public headers would require users of ObjFW to compile
everything with -std=c99. file: [0e441a08b1] check-in: [1664de811f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6555 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [cdc77ff76d] check-in: [cec0f072f8] user: js, branch: 0.8, size: 6488 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [3ce1164040] check-in: [2a27cf3000] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6552 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

OF_NO_RETURN_FUNC is defined when __attribute__((__noreturn__)) is
supported for functions, whereas OF_NO_RETURN is only defined when it is
supported for both functions and methods. file: [9b92c5e911] check-in: [ffb39d1df6] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6484 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

No need to manually implement recursiveness for WinAPI. file: [a8b345125c] check-in: [be99da0c09] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6473 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This changes the return type to void, as the return type of a thread's
main depends on the threading implementation used. For pthreads, it adds
a wrapper function which returns NULL to avoid problems with bogus
return values. For WinAPI threads, the function is just casted, as bogus
return values don't seem to matter there. file: [7cf05d0077] check-in: [52e02c06ca] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6448 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

It causes just too much trouble: It breaks with some old versions of
Clang, where noreturn does not work correctly, and OS X headers break if
noreturn is defined, requiring an ugly and fragile workaround. It's just
not worth the trouble it causes, as the same functionality is available
through __attribute__((__noreturn__)). file: [e7a7a55554] check-in: [716b1fc2b3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6117 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This means that OFObject.h imports macros.h now, making it unnecessary
to manually import macros.h in almost every file. And while at it, also
import autorelease.h in OFObject.h, so that this doesn't need to be
manually imported in almost every file as well. file: [c4677d1bcf] check-in: [13ee56edf3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12416 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

If it's unavailable, it's defined to __attribute__((noreturn)).

Unfortunately, it cannot be used for ObjC methods, as noreturn is part
of the return type while __attribute__((noreturn)) needs to be at the
end for an ObjC method. To make matters worse, even GCC versions that
accept noreturn don't allow it for an ObjC method. Thus, the only thing
that can be done is to always use __attribute__((noreturn)) for ObjC
methods using the OF_METHOD_NORETURN define. file: [65cc15f272] check-in: [bac91ccede] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12436 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is used instead for time intervals now instead of doubles. file: [7bbaf6acd2] check-in: [dc31ce3d34] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 10654 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The only places where BOOL is left are those where they are required by
the ABI. file: [c5163894df] check-in: [c5ef582958] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9871 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

No support for Win32 yet, as we will need our own implementation of
conditions there. file: [0b981f818f] check-in: [f771ddda2d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6861 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
