2010-04-08Thread-safe xmalloc and xrealloc needs a recursive mutexLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+7
The mutex used to protect object access (read_mutex) may need to be acquired recursively. Introduce init_recursive_mutex() helper function in thread-utils.c that constructs a mutex with the PHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE attribute. pthread_mutex_init() emulation on Win32 is already recursive as it is implemented on top of the CRITICAL_SECTION type, which is recursive. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682530%28VS.85%29.aspx Add do-nothing compatibility wrappers for pthread_mutexattr* functions.

2010-01-29Implement pthread_cond_broadcast on WindowsLibravatar Johannes Sixt2-15/+94
See http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html, section "The SignalObjectAndWait solution". But note that this implementation does not use SignalObjectAndWait (which is needed to achieve fairness, but we do not need fairness). Note that our implementations of pthread_cond_broadcast and pthread_cond_signal require that they are invoked with the mutex held that is used in the pthread_cond_wait calls.

2010-01-16MSVC: Windows-native implementation for subset of Pthreads APILibravatar Andrzej K. Haczewski2-0/+177
This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git. It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and Cygwin. [J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build environment, then threading was already enabled because the pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now enable threaded code unconditionally.] Signed-off-by: Andrzej K.
