7060  Use THREAD_HANDLE(t) to obtain thread handle.
7061  * win32_threads.c (GC_PTHREADS_PARAMARK): New macro recognized;
7062  implicitly define GC_PTHREADS_PARAMARK if GC_PTHREADS; include

7067  variable (instead of "unsigned") to prevent a compiler warning.

7072  marker thread creation failure.
7073  * win32_threads.c (signalObjectAndWait_func): Define for WinCE.

7081  * win32_threads.c (GC_thr_init): Recognize GC_MIN_MARKERS new
7082  macro (useful for testing parallel marking on WinCE).

7086  main_thread_start(), WinMain() for WinCE if GC_DLL.
7087  * win32_threads.c (WINCE_MAIN_STACK_SIZE): Remove useless macro

7107  GC_register_finalizer() failures).
7108  * dbg_mlc.c (store_old): Add a check for register_finalizer()
7109  failure caused by an out-of-memory event (leave *ofn and *ocd
7110  unmodified in that case).

8298  
8299  Ivan's description of the patch follows. Note that a few pieces like
8300  the GC_malloc(0) patch, were not applied since an alternate had been
8301  previously applied.  A few differed stylistically from the rest of
8302  the code (mostly casts to void * instead of target type),
8303  or were classified as too minor to bother.  Note that
8304  all of Ivan's static declarations which did not correct outright
8305  naming bugs (as a few did), where replaced by STATIC, which is
8306  ignored by default.
8307  
8308  - minor bug fixing (for FreeBSD, for THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC and for
8309  GC_malloc(0));
8310  - addition of missing getter/setter functions for public variables
8311  (may be useful if compiled as Win32 DLL);
8312  - addition of missing GC_API for some exported functions;
8313  - addition of missing "static" declarator for internal functions
8314  and variables (where possible);
8315  - replacement of all remaining K&R-style definitions with ANSI
8316  C ones (__STDC__ macro is not used anymore);
8317  - addition of some Win32 macro definitions (that may be missing in
8318  the standard headers supplied with a compiler) for GWW_VDB mode;
8319  - elimination of most compiler warnings (except for
8320  "uninitialized data" warning);
8321  - several typos correction;
8322  - missing parenthesis addition in macros in some header files of
8323  "libatomic_ops" module.
8324  
8325  My highlights based on reading the patch:

8727  * Some gc6.9 changes.
8728  * Change FindTopOfStack decl in darwin_stop_world.c.
8729  * Move some static tests from misc.c to gcconfig.h.  Use #error.
8730  * Add GC_print_free_list() function (thanks to Bruce Hoult).
8731  * Add GC_GNU_THREADS support on HURD (thanks to Aleksey Demakov,
8732  Barry DeFreese, and possibly other Debian maintainers).
8733  * __GNUC__ was misspelled as __GNUC in thread_local_alloc.h (thanks to
8734  Peter Wang).
8735  * Integrated various MacOSX patches and tried to reconcile them (thanks to
8736  Allan Hsu, several contributors at Apple, and probably others).
8737  * Added some casts to powerpc.h in libatomic_ops to silence warnings.
8738

8771  GC_SOLARIS_THREADS no longer needs to be checked separately.
8772  
8773  * thread_local_alloc.c, include/private/thread_local_alloc.h:
8774  Spell __declspec correctly.
8775  * NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE: Enable thread-local allocation.
8776  
8777  * doc/README.win32: Adjust GC_win32_dll_threads rules again.
8778  
8779  * mark.c (GC_mark_some wrapper): Restructure for readability, handle
8780  GC_started_thread_while_stopped.
8781  * misc.c (Win32 GC_write): Lock GC_write_cs only if needed.
8782  * win32_threads.c: (client_has_run): remove,
8783  GC_started_thread_while_stopped, GC_attached_thread: add.

8788  
8789  * pthread_stop_world.c (GC_push_all_stacks): Print thread count with
8790  GC_PRINT_VERBOSE_STATS.
8791  
8792  * configure.ac: Comment out redundant
8793  AC_DEFINE(NO_EXECUTE_PERMISSION).
8794  * sparc_mach_dep.S: Remove single quote in comment.
8795  * include/private/gcconfig.h: Fix DATAEND for NONSTOP.
8796  * win32_threads.c: Include stdint.h for Mingw.  Add GC_API for DllMain.
8797  (GC_use_DllMain): Fix assertion.
8798  
8799  * configure.ac: Introduce extra_ldflags_libgc. Use it for Darwin.
8800  * Makefile.am (libgc_la_LDFLAGS): Use extra_ldflags_libgc.
8801  * include/private/gcconfig.h: Enable MPROTECT_VDB for all Darwin
8802  targets. Remove comments.
8803  Prepare ppc64 support for Darwin.
8804  
8805  * darwin_stop_world.c (GC_push_all_stacks): Fix compiler warnings.
8806  Make i unsigned.
8807  (GC_stop_world): Likewise. Remove unused GC_thread p.
8808  (GC_start_world): Likewise.
8809  
8810  * os_dep.c: Define GC_darwin_register_mach_handler_thread extern.
8811  Remove double SIG_HNDLR_PTR definition.
8812  (GC_forward_exception): Fix compiler warnings, make i unsigned.
8813  Initialize thread_state to NULL.
8814  (catch_exception_raise): Fix compiler warnings, make i unsigned.
8815  
8816  * include/private/gc_priv.h (NEED_FIND_LIMIT, FREEBSD variant):
8817  also define for X86_64.
8818  * configure.ac: Move generic gnu (Hurd) case to below kfreebsd case.
8819  * README.changes: Point to ChangeLog.
8820  
8821  * darwin_stop_world.c: Move THREAD_FLD defines to ...
8822  * include/private/gc_priv.h: ... here.
8823  Fix THREAD_STATE definitions for ppc64.
8824  * os_dep.c (catch_exception_raise): Use THREAD_FLD for exc_state member
8825  access.
8826  
8827  * configure.ac (i586-darwin): Replaced HAS_I386_THREAD_STATE_* with
8828  HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE32_*.
8829  (x86_64-*-darwin*): Extended the above check for x86_64-*-darwin* with
8830  HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE64_*.
8831  Added value 1 in the above AC_DEFINE's. Important for the upcoming
8832  Leopard.
8833  * include/private/gcconfig.h: Modified X86_64 define for Darwin.
8834  Removed __x86_64__ check in POWERPC section. Added base definitions
8835  for the X86_64 Darwin port.
8836  * include/private/gc_priv.h: Added GC_MACH_HEADER and GC_MACH_SECTION
8837  to distinguish between 32 and 64-bit applications. Added definitions
8838  for X86_64 Darwin.
8839  * darwin_stop_world.c: Added HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE64___RAX. And
8840  replaced HAS_I386_THREAD_STATE___EAX with HAS_X86_THREAD_STATE32___EAX.
8841  (GC_push_all_stacks): Added code for X86_64 Darwin. Even for the
8842  !DARWIN_DONT_PARSE_STACK. Maybe obsolete.
8843  * dyn_load.c (GC_dyld_name_for_hdr): Use GC_MACH_HEADER.
8844  (GC_dyld_image_add): Use GC_MACH_HEADER and GC_MACH_SECTION.
8845  Distinguish between getsectbynamefromheader_64 and
8846  getsectbynamefromheader.
8847  * os_dep.c (catch_exception_raise): Introduce exception definition for
8848  X86_64 Darwin. Replaced old i386_EXCEPTION_STATE_* definition with
8849  x86_EXCEPTION_STATE32_*. Add X86_64 for exc_state.faultvaddr.
8850  
8851  
8852  == [7.0alpha7] 2006-09-19 ==
8853  
8854  * More 6.7 changes.
8855  * Declare GC_dump() in gc.h.
8856  * Add --enable-large-config, which just defines the LARGE_CONFIG macro.
8857  * Make GlobalAlloc address alignment a bit more intuitive (thanks to
8858  Charles Mills).
8859  * Use #elif in the definitions of GET_MEM.
8860  * Overhaul porting.html.  Remove corresponding text from README.
8861  * Fix typo in DARWIN section of gcconfig.h.
8862  * Fix Darwin thread memory leak (thanks to Bruce Mitchener).
8863  * Update x86 AO_test_and_set implementation to use "=q".
8864  * Add $(EXEEXT) to many tests in tests/tests.am.  (Corresponds to a
8865  6.7 fix, which no longer applied.)
8866  * Fix Darwin/PPC port.
8867  * Fix Cygwin/threads port.
8868  * Fix gcj malloc support.
8869  * For GNU-style make, don't build libatomic_ops unless threads are requested.
8870  This should allow single-threaded builds on platforms which do not
8871  currently support libatomic_ops.
8872  * Clean up and hopefully fix the CFLAGS calculation for GNU build.
8873  (Substantially improves things on HP/UX.)
8874  * Integrated Andrei Polushin's Visual C++ patches.  These provide for
8875  stack traces, better C++ debug support, and better log file handling.
8876  Note that these change the location of the log file to a the path of the
8877  executable with a .log extension.  To get the old behavior back, define
8878  OLD_WIN32_LOG_FILE.  For the time being, I'm checking his project
8879  files and the like into a windows-untested subdirectory.  They
8880  are almost certainly already out of date, but better than what we had
8881  before.
8882  * Fixed some win32 threads bugs, and added support for _beginthreadex.
8883  * Fix zero size thread local allocation so that explicit deallocation
8884  works correctly.
8885  * Removed serious bug in GC_malloc_uncollectable(large size).
8886  * Do not try to do thread-local gcj allocation in incremental mode.  There
8887  are races in setting up the descriptor.
8888  * Add GC_INIT() to middle.c, fix some more GC_printfn calls.
8889  * Some assertions erroneously used I_HOLD_LOCK() negatively, even though
8890  it can now spuriously return TRUE.
8891  * Rename SUNOS5 macro and OS name to SOLARIS and SUNOS5DL to SOLARISDL.
8892  * On Linux and some Un*x variants, allocate memory by first trying sbrk,
8893  and then switching to mmap if that fails.
8894  * Fixed /proc/x/maps reading to deal with asynchronous deletions.
8895  * Fix REDIRECT_MALLOC with threads on Linux.  It now usually seems to work
8896  with ugly hacks that include having calloc behave differently when it is
8897  called from ld.so or the pthreads library.  A reasonable amount of
8898  infrastructure was added to support some of this.  (Thanks to Roland McGrath
8899  for ideas and information.)
8900  * Import various updated build scripts.
8901  * Add GC_register_has_static_roots_callback (thanks to Andrew Haley).
8902  * Fix serious bugs in GC_malloc_atomic_uncollectable().
8903  * Return GC_SUCCESS form GC_get_stack_base().
8904  * Fix several atomic_ops problems on IA64 with HP Compiler.
8905  * Update to atomic_ops-1.2.
8906  * Fix hb_n_marks description and reclaim.c assertion.
8907  * Various additional win32 threads fixes.
8908  * Enable GC_ASSERTIONS for Debug build with NT_THREADS_MAKEFILE.
8909  
8910  
8911  == [7.0alpha5] 2005-09-29 ==
8912  
8913  * More 6.6, 6.7 changes.
8914  * Some Solaris fixes, including some more general changes in how
8915  the assembly pieces of mach_dep.c are handled.
8916  * Removed a lot of SOLARIS_THREADS-specific code that was only
8917  needed with the old implementation.  This included many (mostly no-op)
8918  versions of GC_is_fresh.
8919  * Don't use atomic_ops in gc_locks.h unless we need threads.
8920  * Fixed USE_MARK_BITS, which is once again the default without PARALLEL_MARK.
8921  * Removed Solaris GC_INIT hack.  It's a workaround for a long dead bug,
8922  and it seemed to be wrong anyway.
8923  * Changed win32_threads.c to require preprocessor-based interception
8924  of thread routines by default.  A client call to GC_use_DllMain is
8925  now required to get the old behavior in which DllMain is used to implicitly
8926  register threads.  This was done for uniformity with other platforms, and
8927  because the DllMain solution seemed to require very tricky code which,
8928  at least in the past, imposed hard bounds on the number of threads.
8929  * Many small changes to make thread support work again on Cygwin.
8930  * Moved definition of allocator lock etc. to pthread_support.c and
8931  win32_threads.c for those two cases.
8932  * Got rid of the FASTLOCK() machinery.  It doesn't seem useful on modern
8933  platforms.
8934  * Cleaned up the uncollectible allocation routines, speeding up the
8935  slower paths.  The code did enough unnecessary work off the critical path
8936  that the underlying logic was getting hard to extract.
8937  * No longer turn off THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC with DBG_HDRS_ALL.  Indications
8938  are it just works, and I think the reasons for it not working disappeared
8939  a while ago.
8940  * Fixed bugs in hb_n_marks calculation and assertion.
8941  * Don't use __builtin_expect for pre-3.0 gcc.
8942  * Define GWW_VDB only for recent Microsoft tool chains.
8943  * Add overview.html to doc directory.
8944  * Fix NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE, various compiler warnings.
8945  * Made thread local allocation sort of work with Cygwin.  The code should
8946  be there to deal with other Windows variants, But non-Cygwin Windows
8947  threads need more bug fixes.
8948  
8949  
8950  == [7.0alpha4] 2005-08-02 ==
8951  
8952  * Various 6.5, 6.6 changes.
8953  * Removed GC_brief_async_signal_safe_sleep and used atomic_ops instead
8954  (thanks to Ben Maurer).
8955  * Integrated build patches from Davide Angelocola and Petter Urkedal.
8956  * Fix dynamic-linker-based pthread call redirection.
8957  * Renamed RS6000 to POWERPC/AIX.
8958  * Allow recovery from SIGSEGV in marker on Linux.  This works around
8959  a race in thread stack marking if /proc is used to find roots.  We do
8960  that by default with malloc redirection and threads.  This involved
8961  moving some GC_find_limit and SETJMP related declarations to gc_priv.h.
8962  * Added doc/porting.html file.
8963  * Added ADD_HEAP_GUARD_PAGES for sbrk/*nix platforms to debug extreme
8964  memory overwrite errors.
8965  * Added trivial NO_INCREMENTAL flag to facilitate debugging.
8966  * Added GC_getattr_np-based GC_get_stack_base (untested).
8967  * Separated thread local allocation into a separate file and added the
8968  beginning of win32 support for that.
8969  
8970  
8971  == [7.0alpha3] 2005-04-28 ==
8972  
8973  * Added support for dlopen-based interception of pthread functions.
8974  This is only half done.  The gc.h redefinitions currently interfere.
8975  * Integrated major automake overhaul from Petter Urkedal.
8976  
8977  
8978  == [7.0alpha2] 2005-04-07 ==
8979  
8980  * GC_bytes_allocd was incremented by a possibly uninitialized variable
8981  in GC_generic_malloc_inner.  (Bug introduced in gc7.0alpha1.  Thanks
8982  to Ben Hutchings for tracking it down.)
8983  * Win32 fixes (thanks to Ben Hutchings and Maurizio Vairani).
8984  * Integrated Ben Hutchings' GetWriteWatch-based virtual dirty bit
8985  implementation for win32.
8986  * Removed pc_gc.tar and floppy targets in Makefile.direct.  Removed
8987  pc_excludes file.
8988  * No longer include GC_bytes_wasted when evaluating allocation progress.
8989  Since we are now counting live memory, it no longer makes sense.
8990  * Applied Davide Angelocola's configure patch.  There are now separate
8991  Makefile.am's in the cord and tests subdirectory, more tests, etc.
8992  * Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
8993  * Merged a very small number of Nathanael Nerode's configure.ac
8994  cleanups from the gcc tree.  Unfortunately, that file is a bit
8995  different from ours.
8996  * Changed EINTR handling in sem_wait slightly.
8997  * Restructure the root marking code.  Remove all traces of
8998  USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS, and effectively make it the default.
8999  Make it easier to pass a context pointer to the mark routine, in
9000  case we ever want to do precise stack marking.
9001  * Replace GC_start_blocking() and GC_end_blocking() with GC_do_blocking().
9002  This remains undocumented, and only implemented for pthreads.  But it
9003  removes an otherwise unavoidable race with stores of callee-save
9004  registers.
9005  * Fix GC_n_mark_bits for the default MARK_BIT_PER_GRANULE case.  This
9006  resulted in bogus complaints in heap dumps.
9007  * Upgrade to libatomic_ops-1.0, and update build structure to match.
9008  * Remove SRC_M3 support. Clean up lock initialization code in misc.c.
9009  * Removed gc_local_alloc.h.  If THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC is defined, the
9010  thread local allocation routines are now called automatically.
9011  * Renamed gc_inl.h back to gc_inline.h.  Changed the interface appreciably
9012  since locking has turned into a dominant issue, and in-line allocation
9013  only makes sense if it's no worse than thread-local allocation.
9014  Gc_inline.h is now also used to implement thread-local allocation.
9015  * Finished replacing stubborn allocation with manual write barrier.
9016  Untested.
9017  * Use thread-local allocation code by default.
9018  * Added GC_register_my_thread and friends for Posix and win32.
9019  * Patch for GWW_VDB from Ben Hutchings.
9020  * Removed explicit THREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC tests, since that now always
9021  redefines GC_malloc.
9022  * Removed now unused AIX memory allocation code.
9023  * Various minor fixes for bugs introduced in 7.0alpha1.
9024  
9025  
9026  == [7.0alpha1] 2004-11-09 ==
9027  
9028  * Remove GC_PROTO, VOLATILE, GC_PTR, and GC_CONST.  Assume ANSI C compiler
9029  and use ANSI constructs unconditionally.
9030  * Introduce #elif and #error in some of the appropriate places.
9031  * Remove GC_printf cruft. Use stdargs.
9032  * Remove separate Solaris threads support.  Use the more generic Posix
9033  implementation.
9034  * Use atomic_ops for atomic operations and memory barriers.
9035  * Clean up MPROTECT_VDB implementation.  Use SA_SIGINFO wherever
9036  possible.
9037  * Remove broken SIGNALS stuff.
9038  * Use size_t instead of word, where appropriate.
9039  * Add .S.o rule to Makefile.am.
9040  * Officially discontinue SunOS4, several old flavors of M68K (SunOS4,
9041  A/UX, HP), IBM PC/RTs and RISCOS/Irix4.  (I doubt the old code worked.
9042  If anyone cares, these should be easy to resurrect.)
9043  * Add EXPECT() in some critical places.
9044  * Redefined hb_sz and hb_body to deal with bytes rather than words.
9045  This affected a great deal of code.  I would like to consistently use
9046  byte offsets and sizes where there's not a convincing reason to do
9047  otherwise.
9048  * Redefined several other variables (GC_mem_found, GC_words_allocd)
9049  etc. to use units of bytes.  Most of these were also renamed to
9050  reflect that fact.
9051  * Killed as many "register" declarations as possible.
9052  * Partially replaced stubborn allocation with manual write barrier.
9053  It's currently broken.
9054  * Restructured mark code, to allow mark bits to be kept either on
9055  a per allocation granule or per object basis.  The emphasis is
9056  now on the -DUSE_MARK_BYTES option, since individual bits perform
9057  quite badly on hyper-threaded P4s, and are probably suboptimal on
9058  other architectures.  -DUSE_MARK_BITS is currently broken, and may
9059  be resurrected only for the single-threaded case.  This significantly
9060  reduced the cache footprint required by auxiliary GC data structures.
9061  It also reduces space overhead for small heaps.  It probably slows
9062  things down slightly if interior pointers are very common.
9063  * As part of the above, we now maintain an approximate count of set
9064  mark bits in each heap block.
9065  * As part of the above, the semantics of hb_map changed drastically.
9066  For MARK_BIT_PER_OBJ, it doesn't exist.  For MARK_BIT_PER_GRANULE,
9067  it is purely a way to replace a mod instruction with a table lookup.
9068  (Somewhat to my surprise, this still wins on modern hardware.)
9069  * Removed PRINTSTATS, GATHERSTATS, and SILENT macros.  Everything is
9070  now controlled by GC_print_stats variable and GC_PRINT_STATS
9071  and new GC_PRINT_VERBOSE_STATS environment variables.
9072  * Add GC_log_printf and use it consistently for logging output.
9073  * Unconditionally count the objects we reclaim in the sweep phase.
9074  For thread local allocation, we need that anyway, and we expect
9075  that's increasingly the only case that matters.  And it simplifies
9076  the code.  In general expect minor performance hacks that benefit
9077  only the single-threaded case to disappear.
9078  * Remove GC_quiet from gc.h and elsewhere.
9079  * Changed the heap expansion heuristic, and the definition of
9080  GC_free_space_divisor, to refer to live data size, instead of total
9081  heap size.  I believe this is much more robust.  It wasn't previously
9082  possible, because we didn't have access to live data size.
9083  * Thread local allocation added the extra byte in twice: Once in
9084  thread_local_alloc, and once in malloc_many.
9085  * Removed GC_malloc_words_small and GC_gcj_fast_malloc.  A new
9086  mechanism based on the thread local allocation data structures
9087  is expected to be added instead.  This should allow inlined code
9088  that is both fast and doesn't rely on collector internals.
9089  * Changed both free lists and reclaim lists to be indexed by granules
9090  instead of words, norming halving their size.
9091  * MERGE_SIZE is now the only option, and the macro was removed.
9092  (Without it, we need a memory reference to GC_all_interior_pointers
9093  anyway.  Thus it costs us nothing.)
9094  * Change GC_size_map to map to granules instead of words.  Make sure
9095  that every possible size up to TINY_FREELISTS is present.
9096  * Split of macros need for fast inline allocation into gc_tiny_fl.h
9097  in anticipation of a new inline allocator that doesn't rely on GC
9098  internals.
9099  * Changed thread local allocation to use GRANULE_BYTES and TINY_FREELISTS
9100  in anticipation of a merge with the inline allocation code.
9101  * Removed ALIGN_DOUBLE.  This is mostly handled by GRANULE_BYTES.
9102  * Make locking on most platforms conditional on GC_need_to_lock.
9103  
9104  
9105  == [6.9] ==
9106  
9107  * Fix typo in PREFETCH implementation for X86_64 (thanks to Peter Wang).
9108  * Fix M68K LINUX port (thanks to Debian packagers).
9109  * __GNUC__ was misspelled as __GNUC in new_gc_alloc.h (thanks to Peter Wang).
9110  * Integrated Allan Hsu's patch for OS X VM deallocation problems.
9111  * Applied FreeBSD/X86_64 patch.

9114  == [6.8] 2006-07-08 ==
9115  
9116  * Added some support for Dragonfly BSD (thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger and
9117  Thomas Klausner).
9118  * Improvements to the HP/UX section of configure.in/configure.ac (thanks
9119  to Andreas Tobler).
9120  * GC_unix_get_mem could neglect to release the malloc lock on Irix, under
9121  extremely unlikely circumstances.  (Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Nivois for
9122  some careful code inspection.)
9123  * Added support for kFreeBSD + glibc (thanks to Petr Salinger).
9124  * Fix more MacOS threads memory leaks (thanks to Allan Hsu).
9125  * Added initial Solaris/x64 support (thanks to Rainer Orth).
9126  
9127  
9128  == [6.7] 2006-03-03 ==
9129  
9130  * Add "int" to Solaris "end" and "etext" declaration in gc.h.  Declared
9131  the symbols with underscores and as arrays, since that's what's actually
9132  used.  Perhaps this could all just be removed.  (Thanks to John Bowman.)
9133  * Fixed ARM GC_test_and_set code (thanks to Kazu Hirata and Paul Brook).
9134  * Added casts for assignments to hb_last_reclaimed, which truncate the
9135  value.  Added a cast to GC_adj_words_allocd.  Use GetModuleHandleA
9136  when retrieving a handle to kernel32.dll under win32.
9137  * Added Tandem S-Series support.  (Thanks to Craig McDaniel.  A modified
9138  version of his patch was applied, and hence breakage is probably not
9139  his fault.)
9140  * Remove spurious gc:: qualifier for operator delete[] in gc_cpp.h (thanks
9141  to Hanno Boeck).
9142  * Changed a test for LINUX in config_macros.h to one for __linux__.
9143  * Add prototypes for GC_finalizer_notifier and GC_thr_init (thanks to
9144  David Ayers).
9145  * Use ld instead of nonexistent ldz instruction in Darwin FindTopOfStack
9146  (thanks to Andreas Tobler).
9147  * Add support for Darwin/x86 (thanks to Geoff Norton and the Mono
9148  developers).
9149  * Merge in some recent gcc fixes.  Add ppc64 asm code.  (Thanks to
9150  Bryce McKinlay and other GCJ developers.)
9151  * Scan MEM_PRIVATE sections under Windows ME and predecessors.
9152  * Interior pointers with some largish offsets into large objects could
9153  be ignored, if GC_all_interior_pointers was set.  (Oddly this worked
9154  correctly for stack references if it was not set.  Otherwise it failed
9155  for both stack and heap references.  Thanks to Andrew McKinlay for the
9156  critical test case.)
9157  * Integrated Tatsuya Bizenn's NETBSD threads support, with some
9158  untested changes.
9159  * Added GC_strdup and friends to make leak detection work correctly
9160  for strdup clients (thanks to Jon Moore).  Fixed the existing strdup
9161  with malloc redirection to handle a null malloc return correctly.
9162  
9163  
9164  == [6.6] 2005-09-09 ==
9165  
9166  * Fix CPU count detection for Irix and FreeBSD (thanks to Dan Bonachea).
9167  * Integrate Dan Bonachea's patch for the IBM XLC compiler on Darwin.
9168  * Integrated Andreas Tobler's FreeBSD/PowerPC patch.
9169  * Don't access the GC thread structure from the restart handler.  It's
9170  unsafe, since the handler may run too late.  (Thanks to Ben Maurer for
9171  tracking this down.)
9172  * Applied Christian Thalinger's patch to change comment syntax in
9173  alpha_mach_dep.S.
9174  * Added test for GC_no_dls in GC_dyld_image_add for DARWIN (thanks to
9175  Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll).
9176  * Use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM for Linux/SH and LINUX/ARM (thanks to
9177  Sugioka Toshinobu and Christian Thalinger).
9178  * Rewrote GC_parse_map_entry.  This assumed a fixed column layout of
9179  /proc/self/maps on Linux.  This ceased to be true about 2 years ago.
9180  The old code is probably quite problematic with -DREDIRECT_MALLOC.  It
9181  is also used by default for IA64, though I haven't seen actual failures
9182  there.
9183  * More consistently define HBLKSIZE to 4096 on 64 bit architectures with
9184  4K pages (thanks to Andrew Haley).
9185  * With win32 threads, GC_stop_world needs to acquire GC_write_cs (thanks
9186  to Ben Hutchings for the observation and patch).
9187  * Move up struct callinfo declaration to make gcc 4.0.2 happy.
9188  
9189  
9190  == [6.5] 2005-05-22 ==
9191  
9192  * Integrated Paolo Molaro's patch to deal with EINTR in sem_wait.
9193  * Make GC_approx_sp() write to dummy location to ensure that stack
9194  is grown here, when sp looks reasonable, rather than later, when
9195  it might look like a bad memory reference.  (Problem was never
9196  observed that I know of.  But on rereading the code it seemed
9197  dubious.)
9198  * Separate out GC_with_callee_saves_pushed and sometimes call
9199  it from GC_suspend_handler in pthread_stop_world.c.  Callee-save
9200  register values sometimes failed to get traced under HP/UX on
9201  PA-RISC.  Linux/IA64 had the same problem, though non-stacked
9202  callee-save registers seem to be so rarely used there that nobody
9203  ever noticed.
9204  * Integrated an ancient Darwin powerpc_darwin_machine_dep.s patch
9205  from Andreas Tobler, which I had lost.
9206  * Fix compare_and_exchange implementation for gcc/IA64 to deal with
9207  pickier compiler versions.
9208  * Fixed Itanium 32-bit ABI support (HP/UX).  In particular, the
9209  compare_and_exchange implementation didn't consider that possibility.
9210  * Undefine GC_pthread_detach in win32_threads.c (thanks to
9211  Tommaso Tagliapietra).
9212  * Fixed inclusion of frame.h for NETBSD in os_dep.c.
9213  * Applied Dan Bonachea's patch to use mmap on AIX.
9214  * Several fixes to resurrect the Irix port on recent OS versions.
9215  * Change ALPHA to use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.
9216  * Change SPARC64/LINUX to also use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.  Deal with potential
9217  bad values of __libc_stack_end on that platform (thanks to David Miller).
9218  * Relax gctest to allow larger heap if ALIGN_DOUBLE isn't set.
9219  (Unnecessary in 7.0)
9220  * Force a define of __STDC__=0 for the IBM compiler on AIX, so that
9221  we get prototypes.  (Unnecessary in 7.0)
9222  * GC_INIT definition for AIX and CYGWIN referred to DATASTART and DATAEND
9223  which are only defined in private include files.
9224  * Integrated some small gcconfig.h patches from Dan Bonachea.  Also
9225  relaxed assertion about FreeBSD stack size in pthread_support.c.
9226  * Integrated Andrew Begel's darwin_stop_world.c patch for 64-bit
9227  support.  This may need additional work.
9228  * Avoided potentially infinite recursion in GC_save_callers if
9229  the system backtrace calls malloc.  The workaround currently requires
9230  __thread support if this code is used with threads.
9231  * Avoided another similar infinite recursion by conditionally
9232  invoking GC_save_callers in alloc.c (thanks to Matthias Andree
9233  for helping to track down both of these).
9234  * Removed all traces of aix_irix_threads.c.  AIX and Irix now use
9235  pthread_support.c and pthread_stop_world.c.  The old code appeared
9236  to be unreliable for AIX, and was not regularly maintained.
9237  * On Irix, ignore segments with MA_FETCHOP or MA_NOTCACHED attributed;
9238  they're not always safe to read.
9239  * Fixed a previously vacuous assertion (diagnosed by the SGI compiler)
9240  in GC_remove_from_fl.
9241  * Fix stack_size assertion in GC_pthread_create.
9242  * Fix assertion in GC_steal_mark_stack.
9243  
9244  
9245  == [6.4] 2004-12-21 ==
9246  
9247  * Merge gcconfig.h changes from gcc tree.
9248  * Unconditionally include gc_priv.h in solaris_pthreads.c, win32_threads.h,
9249  aix_irix_threads.c, and solaris_threads.c to get thread definitions.
9250  * Start marker threads in GC_thr_init, so that they get started even
9251  if no other threads are ever started.  (Oddly enough, the parallel
9252  collector worked correctly, though not well, with no helper threads.)
9253  * Go ahead and split large blocks in GC_allochblk_nth if GC_dont_gc
9254  is set (thanks to Alexander Petrossian).
9255  * GC_PRINT_BACK_HEIGHT would deadlock with thread support.
9256  * Let in_progress_space in backgraph.s grow dynamically.
9257  * Fix README.solaris2.  The GC_thr_init() hack doesn't work anymore.
9258  * Convert GC_finalizer_mem_freed to bytes in allchblk.c.
9259  * Add missing declaration for GC_generic_malloc_words_small_inner.
9260  Without it, s390x breaks.  (Thanks to Ulrich Weigand.)
9261  * Applied several MacOSX patches to support older tool chains (thanks
9262  to Stefan Ring).
9263  * Bug fix for NetBSD/x64 (thanks to Marc Recht).
9264  * Add NetBSD/sh3 support (thanks to Uchiyama Yasushi).
9265  * Fixed an uninitialized variable in cordprnt.c.
9266  * Eliminated some, but not all, gcc -Wall warnings.
9267  * Changed some old style casts to reinterpret_cast in new_gc_alloc.h
9268  (thanks to Dan Grayson).
9269  * GC_extend_size_map shouldn't adjust for GC_all_interior_pointers if
9270  GC_DONT_ADD_BYTE_AT_END is set.
9271  * Changed some (long) casts to (word) in preparation for Win64 (thanks
9272  to Peter Colson).
9273  * Changed "int stack_size" declaration in pthread_support.c to use
9274  size_t.  (Only mattered with GC_ASSERTIONS enabled.)
9275  * Added CRIS (etrax) support (thanks to Simon Posnjak and Hans-Peter Nilsson).
9276  * Removed GC_IGNORE_FB frame buffer recognition, and replaced
9277  it with a check that the mapping type is MEM_IMAGE.
9278  In theory, this should work much better, but it is a high
9279  risk change for win32.  (Thanks to Ashley Bone for the crucial
9280  experimental data behind this, and to Rutger Ovidius for
9281  some further experiments.)
9282  * GC_allochblk_nth incremented GC_words_wasted by bytes rather than
9283  words.
9284  * Consider GC_words_wasted in GC_adj_words_allocd only if it is within
9285  reason.  (A hack to avoid some extremely unlikely scenarios in which
9286  we manage to allocate only "wasted" space.  7.0 has a better fix.)
9287  * Changed PowerPC GC_clear implementation to use lwsync instead of
9288  eieio, since the documentation recommends against eieio, and
9289  it seems to be incorrect if the preceding memory op is a load.
9290  * Fixed print_block_list to print the correct kind number for
9291  STUBBORN (thanks to Rutger Ovidius).
9292  * Have configure.in generate an error if it is asked to support
9293  pthreads, but doesn't know how to.
9294  * Added Kazuhiro Inaoka's patch for Renesas M32R support.
9295  * Have the GNU build mechanism link with -ldl.  Rename THREADLIBS
9296  to THREADDLLIBS to reflect this.  (Thanks to Sven Verdoolaege.)
9297  * Added Hannes Mehnert's patch for FreeBSD/SPARC support.
9298  * Merged some FreeBSD specific patches to threadlibs.c and dyn_load.c.
9299  (Thanks to John Merryweather Cooper.)
9300  * Define MPROTECT_VDB on MACOSX only if threads are being used, since the
9301  dirty page tracking mechanism uses threads.  (This avoids an undefined
9302  reference to _GC_darwin_register_mach_handler_thread.)
9303  * By popular demand, use __libc symbols only if we are built with
9304  USE_LIBC_PRIVATES, which is off by default, and not otherwise documented.
9305  * Ignore GC_enable_incremental() requests when KEEP_BACK_PTRS is set.
9306  The GC itself will dirty lots of pages in this cases, probably making
9307  it counterproductive on all platforms.  And the DARWIN port crashes.
9308  
9309  
9310  == [6.3] 2004-07-08 ==
9311  
9312  * Compile test_cpp.cc with CXXCOMPILE instead of COMPILE.
9313  * Very large allocations could cause a collector hang.  Correct
9314  calculation of GC_collect_at_heapsize.
9315  * GC_print_hblkfreelist printed some bogus results if USE_MUNMAP
9316  was defined.
9317  * Include gc_config_macros.h in threadlibs.c.
9318  * Correct MacOSX thread stop code (thanks to Dick Porter).
9319  * SMALL_OBJ definition was off by one.  This could cause crashes
9320  at startup.  (Thanks to Zoltan Varga for narrowing this down to
9321  a trivial test case.)
9322  * Integrate Paolo Molaro's patch to deal with a race in the Darwin
9323  thread stopping code.
9324  * Changed X86_64 implementation to use SA_SIGINFO in the MPROTECT_VDB
9325  implementation.  The old approach appears to have been broken by
9326  recent kernels.
9327  * Added GC_ATTR_UNUSED to eliminate a warning in gc_allocator.h (thanks
9328  to Andrew Begel).
9329  * Fix GC_task_self declaration in os_dep.c (thanks to Andrew Pinski).
9330  * Increase INITIAL_BUF_SZ in os_dep.c for Solaris /proc reads.
9331  
9332  
9333  == [6.3alpha6] 2004-05-06 ==
9334  
9335  * Define USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS for NetBSD/M68K.
9336  * Fixed the x64 PREFETCH macros to correctly handle ia32e (which uses
9337  different prefetch instructions on x64).  (Thanks to H.J. Lu.)
9338  * GC_config_macros.h did not correctly define GC_WIN32_THREADS from
9339  GC_THREADS.
9340  * Added simple_example.html.
9341  * Merged Andrew Gray's patch to correctly restore signal handlers on
9342  FreeBSD.
9343  * Merged a patch from Andreas Jaeger to deal with prefetch-related warnings
9344  on x86-64.  Added some other casts so that the PREFETCH macros
9345  always get a ptr_t argument.  Removed some casts in the PREFETCH
9346  implementations.
9347  * Added a header guard for gc_allocator.h and changed GC_debug_free to
9348  clobber contents of deallocated object (suggested by Jesse Jones).
9349  * The signal masking code in pthread_stop_world.c contained some errors.
9350  In particular SIGSEGV was masked in the handler, in spite of the fact that
9351  it wrote to the heap.  This could lead to an uncaught SIGSEGV, which
9352  apparently became much more likely in Linux 2.6.  Also fixed some
9353  typos, and reduced code duplication in the same area.
9354  * Remove ltconfig, clean up configure messages for DG/UX (thanks to
9355  Adrian Bunk for the patches).
9356  * Integrated NetBSD/OpenBSD patches from Marc Recht and Matthias Drochner.
9357  
9358  
9359  == [6.3alpha5] 2004-03-30 ==
9360  
9361  * Fix & vs && typo in GC_generic_malloc and
9362  GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page.  (Propagated from the gcc tree.)
9363  * Removed SA_NODEFER hack from NetBSD and Solaris write-protect handler.
9364  (According to Christian Limpach, the NetBSD problem is fixed.
9365  Presumably so is the Solaris 2.3 problem.)
9366  * Removed placement delete from gc_cpp.h for the SGI compiler (thanks
9367  to Simon Gornall for the patch).
9368  * Changed semantics of the GC_IGNORE_FB environment variable, based
9369  on experimentation by Nicolas Cannasse pointing out that the old
9370  interpretation was useless.  We still need help in identifying win32
9371  graphics memory mappings.  The current "solution" is a hack.
9372  * Removed "MAKEOVERRIDES =" from Makefile.am and thus Makefile.in.
9373  It probably made more sense in the gcc context.
9374  * Explicitly ensure that NEED_FIND_LIMIT is defined for {Open,Net}BSD/ELF.
9375  * Replaced USE_HPUX_TLS macro by USE_COMPILER_TLS, since gcc often
9376  supports the same extension on various platforms.
9377  * Added some basic (completely untested) defines for Win64, in support
9378  of future work.
9379  * Declared GC_jmp_buf in os_dep.s as JMP_BUF instead of jmp_buf, fixing
9380  a memory overwrite bug on Solaris and perhaps other platforms.
9381  * Added 0 != __libc_stack_end test to GC_linux_stack_base (thanks to
9382  Jakub Jelinek for the patch and explaining the problem).
9383  Otherwise pre-linking could cause the collector to fail.
9384  * Changed default thread local storage implementation to USE_PTHREAD_SPECIFIC
9385  for HP/UX with gcc.  The compiler-based implementation appears to work
9386  only with the vendor compiler.
9387  * Export GC_debug_header_size and GC_USR_PTR_FROM_BASE from gc_mark.h,
9388  making client mark code cleaner and less dependent on GC version.
9389  * Export several new procedures and GC_generic_malloc from gc_mark.h
9390  to support user-defined kinds.  Use the new procedures to replace existing
9391  code in gcj_mlc.c and typd_mlc.c.
9392  * Added support for GC_BACKTRACES.
9393  * Fixed a remaining problem in CORD_str with signed characters (thanks
9394  to Alexandr Petrosian for the patch).
9395  * Removed supposedly redundant, but very buggy, definitions of finalizer
9396  macros from javaxfc.h.  Fortunately this file probably has no users.
9397  The correct declarations were already in gc.h.
9398  * Also need to set GC_in_thread_creation while waiting for GC during
9399  thread termination, since it is also possible to collect from an
9400  unregistered thread in that case.
9401  * Define NO_GETENV for Windows CE, since getenv doesn't appear to exist.
9402  Plus some other minor WinCE fixes (thanks to Alain Novak).
9403  * Added GC_register_describe_type_fn.
9404  * Arrange for debugging finalizer registration to ignore non-heap
9405  registrations, since the regular version of the routine also behaves
9406  that way.
9407  * GC_gcj_malloc and friends need to check for finalizers waiting to be run.
9408  One of the more obscure allocation routines with missing a LOCK() call.
9409  * Fixed cvtres invocations in NT_MAKEFILE and NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE
9410  to work with VS.NET.
9411  * Cleaned up GC_INIT calls in test.  Updated gc.man to encourage GC_INIT
9412  use in portable code.
9413  * Taught the GC to use libunwind if --enable-full-debug is specified on
9414  IA64 and libunwind is present.
9415  * The USE_MUNMAP code could get confused about the age of a block and
9416  prematurely unmap it.  GC_unmap_old had a bug related to wrapping of
9417  GC_gc_no.  GC_freehblk and GC_merge_unmapped didn't maintain
9418  hb_last_reclaimed reasonably when blocks were merged.  The code was
9419  fixed to reflect original intent, but that may not always be an
9420  improvement.
9421  
9422  
9423  == [6.3alpha4] 2004-01-01 ==
9424  
9425  * USE_MMAP was broken by confusion in the code dealing with USE_MMAP_ANON.
9426  * Darwin support was broken in alpha3 as a result of my mis-integration of
9427  Andrew Begel's patches.  Fixed with another patch from Andrew Begel.
9428  * A new sanity check in pthread_stop_world.c:GC_push_all_stacks() was
9429  overly aggressive.  We may collect from an unregistered thread during
9430  thread creation.  Fixed by explicitly checking for that case.  (Added
9431  GC_in_thread_creation.)
9432  
9433  
9434  == [6.3alpha3] 2003-12-20 ==
9435  
9436  * Removed -DSMALL_CONFIG from BCC_MAKEFILE.
9437  * Changed macros to test for an ARM processor (Patch from Richard Earnshaw.)
9438  * Mostly applied a DJGPP patch from Doug Kaufman.  Especially Makefile.dj
9439  had suffered from serious bit rot.
9440  * Rewrote GC_apply_to_maps, eliminating an off-by-one subscript error,
9441  and a call to alloca (for lcc compatibility).
9442  * Changed USE_MUNMAP behavior on POSIX platforms to immediately remap
9443  the memory with PROT_NONE instead of unmapping it.  The latter risks
9444  an intervening mmap grabbing the address space out from underneath us.
9445  Updated this code to reflect a cleaner patch from Ulrich Drepper.
9446  * Replaced _T with _Tp in new_gc_alloc.h to avoid a MACOS X conflict.
9447  (Patch from Andrew Begel.)
9448  * Dynamically choose whether or not lock should spin on win32 (thanks
9449  to Maurizio Vairani for the patch).  This may be a significant performance
9450  improvement for win32.
9451  * Fix Makefile.direct to actually include NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE
9452  in the distribution (thanks to Maurizio Vairani).
9453  * Maybe_install_looping_handler() was accidentally exported, violating
9454  our name space convention.
9455  * Made os_dep.c use sigsetjmp and SA_NODEFER for NetBSD.  (Thanks to
9456  Christian Limpach.  I generalized the patch to use sigsetjmp on all
9457  UNIX_LIKE platforms, admittedly a slightly risky move.  But it may avoid
9458  similar problems on some other platforms.  I also cleaned up the definition
9459  of UNIX_LIKE a bit.)
9460  * Integrated Andrew Begel's Darwin threads patch, adjusted according to
9461  some of Fergus Hendersons's comments.  (Patch didn't apply cleanly,
9462  errors are possible.)
9463  * Added another test or two for the Intel 8.0 compiler to avoid
9464  confusing it with gcc.  The single-threaded collector should now build
9465  with icc, at least on ia64.
9466  
9467  
9468  == [6.3alpha2] 2003-11-04 ==
9469  
9470  * Re-enabled I_HOLD_LOCK assertion in aix_irix_threads.h.
9471  * Put back the WINABI qualifier for GC_CreateThread.  (Thanks to
9472  Danny Smith for the patch.  6.3alpha1 had the qualifier in one place
9473  but not elsewhere, which was clearly wrong.)
9474  * Sometimes explicitly define __private_extern__ before DARWIN dyld.h
9475  include.  (Thanks to Andreas Tobler for posting the patch.)
9476  * Included signal.h from pthread_support.c.  Removed GC_looping_handler,
9477  which was dead code.
9478  * GC_find_start was misdeclared by gc_pmark.h if PRINT_BLACK_LIST was
9479  defined (thanks to Glauco Masotti for testing and reporting this).
9480  Changed GC_find_start to never just return 0.  According to its
9481  comment it doesn't, and it's unclear that's correct.
9482  * GC_alloc_large had several largely compensating bugs in the
9483  computation of GC_words_wasted.  (It was confused about bytes vs.
9484  words in two places.)
9485  * Integrated Slava Sysoltsev's patch to support more recent versions of
9486  the Intel compiler on IA64/Linux.
9487  * Changed win32 spinlock initialization to conditionally set a spin count.
9488  (Emmanual Stumpf pointed out that enabling this makes a large performance
9489  difference on win32 multiprocessors.)  Also cleaned up the win32 spinlock
9490  initialization code a bit.
9491  * Fixed thread support for HP/UX/IA64.  The register backing store base for
9492  the main thread was sometimes not set correctly.  (Thanks to
9493  Laurent Morichetti.)
9494  * Added -DEMPTY_GETENV_RESULTS flag to work around Wine problem.
9495  * Declare GC_stack_alloc and GC_stack_free in solaris_threads.h to
9496  avoid 64-bit size mismatches (thanks to Bernie Solomon).
9497  * Fixed GC_generic_push_regs to avoid a potential and very unfortunate
9498  tail call optimization.  This could lead to prematurely reclaimed
9499  objects on configurations that used the generic routine and the new
9500  build infrastructure (which potentially optimizes mach_dep.c).
9501  This was a serious bug, but it's unclear whether it has resulted in
9502  any real failures.
9503  * Fixed CORD_str to deal with signed characters (thanks to Alexandr Petrosian
9504  for noticing the problem and supplying the patch).
9505  * Merged a couple of NOSYS/ECOS tests into os_dep.c from gcj (thanks
9506  to Anthony Green).
9507  * Partially merged a win32 patch from Ben Hutchings, and substantially
9508  revised other parts of win32_threads.c.  It had several problems.
9509  Under MinGW with a statically linked library, the main thread was
9510  not registered.  Cygwin detached threads leaked thread descriptors.
9511  There were several race conditions.  For now, unfortunately the
9512  static threads limit remains, though we increased it, and made table
9513  traversal cost depend on the actual thread count.
9514  There is also still some code duplication with pthread_support.c.
9515  (Thread descriptors did become much smaller, since Ben Hutchings
9516  removed the thread context from them.)
9517  * Integrated a Solaris configure.in patch from Rainer Orth.
9518  * Added GC_IGNORE_FB and associated warning to very partially address
9519  the issue of the collector treating a mapped frame buffer as part
9520  of the root set.  (Thanks to David Peroutka for providing some
9521  insight.  More would be helpful.  Is there anything that can be used
9522  to at least partially identify such memory segments?)
9523  
9524  
9525  == [6.3alpha1] 2003-07-26 ==
9526  
9527  * Integrated some NetBSD patches by Marc Recht.  These
9528  were already in the NetBSD package.
9529  * GC_pthread_create waited for the semaphore even if pthread_create failed.
9530  (Thanks to Dick Porter for the pthread_support.c patch.)  Applied the
9531  analogous fix for aix_irix_threads.c.
9532  * Added Rainer Orth's Tru64 fixes.
9533  * The check for exceeding the thread table size in win32 threadDetach
9534  was incorrect (thanks to Alexandr Petrosian for the patch).
9535  * Applied Andrew Begel's patch to correct some reentrancy issues
9536  with dynamic loading on Darwin.
9537  * GC_CreateThread() was neglecting to duplicate the thread handle in
9538  the table (thanks to Tum Nguyen for the patch).
9539  * Pass +ESdbgasm only on PA-RISC machines with vendor compiler (thanks to
9540  Roger Sayle for the patch).
9541  * Applied more AIX threads patches from Scott Ananian.
9542  
9543  
9544  == [6.2] 2003-06-21 ==
9545  
9546  * Integrated a second round of Irix/AIX patches from Dan Bonachea.
9547  Renamed mips_sgi_mach_dep.S back to mips_sgi_mach_dep.s, since it requires
9548  the Irix assembler to do the C preprocessing; gcc -E doesn't work.
9549  * Fixed Makefile.direct for DARWIN (thanks to Manuel Serrano).
9550  * There was a race between GC_pthread_detach and thread exit that could
9551  result in a thread structure being deallocated by GC_pthread_detach
9552  even though it was still needed by the thread exit code (thanks to
9553  Dick Porter for the small test case that allowed this to be debugged).
9554  * Fixed version parsing for non-alpha versions in acinclude.m4 and
9555  version checking in version.h.
9556  * Issues identified (not yet fixed):
9557  - A dynamic libgc.so references dlopen unconditionally, but doesn't link
9558  against libdl.
9559  - GC_proc_fd for Solaris is not correctly updated in response to a
9560  fork() call.  Thus incremental collection in the child won't work
9561  correctly.  (Thanks to Ben Cottrell for pointing this out.)
9562  - --enable-redirect-malloc is mostly untested and known not to work
9563  on some platforms.
9564  - There seem to be outstanding issues on Solaris/x86, possibly with
9565  finding the data segment starting address.
9566  - Very large root set sizes (> 16 MB or so) could cause the collector
9567  to abort with an unexpected mark stack overflow.  (Thanks to
9568  Peter Chubb.)  NOT YET FIXED.  Workaround is to increase the initial
9569  size.
9570  - The SGI version of the collector marks from mmapped pages, even
9571  if they are not part of dynamic library static data areas.  This
9572  causes performance problems with some SGI libraries that use mmap
9573  as a bitmap allocator.  NOT YET FIXED.  It may be possible to turn
9574  off DYNAMIC_LOADING in the collector as a workaround.  It may also
9575  be possible to conditionally intercept mmap and use GC_exclude_static_roots.
9576  The real fix is to walk rld data structures, which looks possible.
9577  - Incremental collector should handle large objects better.  Currently,
9578  it looks like the whole object is treated as dirty if any part of it is.
9579  
9580  
9581  == [6.2alpha6] 2003-06-05 ==
9582  
9583  * There was an extra underscore in the name of GC_save_registers_in_stack
9584  for NetBSD/SPARC (thanks to Jaap Boender for the patch).
9585  * Integrated Brian Alliet's patch for Darwin.  This restructured the
9586  linuxthreads/pthreads support to separate generic pthreads support
9587  from more the system-dependent thread-stopping code.  I believe this
9588  should make it easier to eliminate the code duplication between
9589  pthreads platforms in the future.  The patch included some other
9590  code cleanups.
9591  * Integrated Dan Bonachea's patch to support AIX threads.  This required
9592  substantial manual integration, mostly due to conflicts with other
9593  recent threads changes.  It may take another iteration to
9594  get it to work.
9595  * Removed HPUX/PA-RISC support from aix_irix_threads.c.  It wasn't used
9596  anyway and it cluttered up the code.  And anything we can do to migrate
9597  towards generic pthreads support is a good thing.
9598  * Added a more explicit test for tracing of function arguments to test.c.
9599  * Added Akira Tagoh's PowerPC64 patch.
9600  * Fixed some bit rot in the Cygwin port (thanks to Dan Bonachea for
9601  pointing it out).  gc.h now includes just windows.h, not winbase.h.
9602  * Declared GC_save_regs_in_stack() in gc_priv.h.  Remove other declarations.
9603  * Changed --enable-cplusplus to use automake consistently.  The old way
9604  confused libtool.  "Make install" didn't work correctly for the old version.
9605  Previously --enable-cplusplus was broken on cygwin.
9606  * Changed the C version of GC_push_regs to fail at compile time if it is
9607  generated with an empty body.  This seems to have been the cause of one
9608  or two subtle failures on unusual platforms.  Those failures should
9609  now occur at build time and be easily fixable.
9610  
9611  
9612  == [6.2alpha5] 2003-05-14 ==
9613  
9614  * GC_invoke_finalizers could, under rare conditions, set
9615  GC_finalizer_mem_freed to an essentially random value.  This could
9616  possibly cause unbounded heap growth for long-running applications
9617  under some conditions.  (The bug was introduced in 6.1alpha5, and
9618  is not in gcc3.3.)
9619  * Attempted to sanitize the various DLL macros.  GC_USE_DLL disappeared.
9620  GC_DLL is used instead.  All internal tests are now on GC_DLL.
9621  README.macros is now more precise about the intended meaning.
9622  * Include DllMain in the multi-threaded win32 version only if the
9623  collector is actually built as a dll (thanks to Mohan Embar for
9624  a version of the patch).
9625  * Hide the cygwin threadAttach/Detach functions.  They were violating our
9626  namespace rules.
9627  * Fixed an assertion in GC_check_heap_proc.  Added GC_STATIC_ASSERT
9628  (thanks again to Ben Hutchings).
9629  * Removed some obsolete definitions for Linux/PowerPC in gcconfig.h.
9630  * CORD_cat was not rebalancing unbalanced trees in some cases, violating
9631  a CORD invariant.  Also tweaked the re-balancing rule for
9632  CORD_cat_char_star.  (Thanks to Alexandr Petrosian for the bug report
9633  and patch.)
9634  * Added hand-coded structured exception handling support to mark.c.
9635  This should enable support of dynamic libraries under win32 with
9636  gcc-compiled code.  (Thanks to Ranjit Mathew for the patch.)
9637  Turned on dynamic library scanning for gcc on Win32.
9638  * Removed some remnants of read wrapping (thanks to Kenneth Schalk).
9639  GC_USE_LD_WRAP was probably broken in recent versions.
9640  * The build could fail on some platforms since gcconfig.h could include
9641  declarations mentioning ptr_t, which was not defined, e.g. when if_mach
9642  was built (thanks to Yann Dirson for pointing this out).  Also
9643  cleaned up tests for GC_PRIVATE_H in gcconfig.h a bit.
9644  * The GC_LOOP_ON_ABORT environment variable interfered with incremental
9645  collection, since the write fault handler was erroneously overridden.
9646  Handlers are now set up in the correct order.
9647  * It used to be possible to call GC_mark_thread_local_free_lists() while
9648  the world was not stopped during an incremental GC.  This was not safe.
9649  Fortunately, it was also unnecessary.  Added GC_world_stopped flag
9650  to avoid it.  (This caused occasional crashes in GC_set_fl_marks
9651  with thread local allocation and incremental GC.  This probably happened
9652  primarily on old, slow multiprocessors.)
9653  * Allowed overriding of MAX_THREADS in win32_threads.c from the build
9654  command line (thanks to Yannis Bres for the patch).
9655  * Taught the IA64/linux code to determine the register backing store base from
9656  /proc/self/maps after checking the __libc symbol, but before guessing.
9657  (__libc symbols are on the endangered list, and the guess is likely to not
9658  always be right for 2.6 kernels.)  Restructured the code to read and parse
9659  /proc/self/maps so it only exists in one place (all platforms).
9660  * The -DUSE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES code was broken on Linux.  It claimed that it
9661  also registered the main data segment, but didn't actually do so.  (I don't
9662  think anyone actually uses this configuration, but ...)
9663  * Made another attempt to get --enablecplusplus to do the right thing.
9664  Since there are unavoidable problems with C programs linking against a
9665  dynamic library that includes C++ code, I separated out the c++ code into
9666  libgccpp.
9667  
9668  
9669  == [6.2alpha4] 2003-03-10 ==
9670  
9671  * Use LINUX_STACKBOTTOM for >= glibc2.2 on Linux/MIPS.  (See Debian bug
9672  # 177204)
9673  * Integrated Jeff Sturm and Jesse Rosenstock's MACOSX threads patches.
9674  * Integrated Grzegorz Jakacki's substantial GNU build patch.  "Make dist"
9675  should now work for the GNU build process.  Documentation files
9676  are installed under share/gc.
9677  * Tweaked gc_cpp.h to again support the Borland compiler (thanks to
9678  Rene Girard for pointing out the problems).
9679  * Updated BCC_MAKEFILE (thanks to Rene Girard).
9680  * Added GC_ASSERT check for minimum thread stack size.
9681  * Added --enable-gc-assertions.
9682  * Added some web documentation to the distribution.  Updated it in the
9683  process.
9684  * Separate gc_conf_macros.h from gc.h.
9685  * Added generic GC_THREADS client-defined macro to set the appropriate
9686  GC_XXX_THREADS internal macro.  (gc_config_macros.h.)
9687  * Add debugging versions of _ignore_off_page allocation primitives.
9688  * Moved declarations of GC_make_closure and GC_debug_invoke_finalizer
9689  from gc.h to gc_priv.h.
9690  * Reset GC_fail_count even if only a small allocation succeeds.
9691  * Integrated Brian Alliet's patch for dynamic library support on Darwin.
9692  * gc_cpp.h's gc_cleanup destructor called GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER_IGNORE_SELF
9693  when it should have called the lower case version, since it was
9694  explicitly computing a base pointer.
9695  
9696  
9697  == [6.2alpha3] 2003-01-30 ==
9698  
9699  * Don't include execinfo.h in os_dep.c when it's not needed, and may not
9700  exist.
9701  
9702  
9703  == [6.2alpha2] ==
9704  
9705  * Fixed the completely broken FreeBSD code in 6.2alpha1 (thanks to
9706  Hironori Sakamoto for the patch).
9707  * Changed IRIX reference in dbg_mlc.c to IRIX5 (thanks to Marcus Herbert).
9708  * Attempted to work around the problems with .S filenames and the SGI
9709  compiler.  (Untested.)
9710  * Worked around an HP/UX make issue with the GNU-style build process.
9711  * Fixed the --enable-cplusplus build machinery to allow builds without
9712  a C++ compiler.  (That was always the intent ...)
9713  * Changed the debugging allocation macros to explicitly pass the return
9714  address for Linux and XXXBSD on hardware for which we can't get stack
9715  traces.  Use __builtin_return_address(0) to generate it when possible.
9716  Some of the configuration work was cleaned up (good) and moved to gc.h
9717  (bad, but necessary).  This should make leak detection more useful
9718  on a number of platforms.  (Thanks to Fabian Thylman for the suggestion.)
9719  * Fixed compilation problems in dbg_mlc.c with GC_ADD_CALLER.
9720  * Bumped revision number for dynamic library.
9721  
9722  
9723  == [6.2alpha1] 2003-01-23 ==
9724  
9725  * Guard the test for GC_DUMP_REGULARLY in misc.c with
9726  "#ifndef NO_DEBUGGING".  Otherwise it fails to build with NO_DEBUGGING
9727  defined.  (Thanks to Manuel Serrano.)
9728  * Message about retrying suspend signals was incorrectly generated even when
9729  flag was not set.
9730  * Cleaned up MACOSX/NEXT root registration code.  There was apparently a
9731  separate ifdef case in GC_register_data_segments() for no reason.
9732  * Removed MPROTECT_VDB for MACOSX port, based on one negative report.
9733  * Arrange for gc.h and friends to be correctly installed with GNU-style
9734  "make install".
9735  * Enable the GNU-style build facility include C++ support in the library
9736  with --enable-cplusplus (thanks to Thomas Maier for some of the patch).
9737  * Mark from GC_thread_key in linux_threads.c, in case that's allocated
9738  from the garbage collected heap, as it is with our own thread-specific
9739  storage implementation (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
9740  * Mark all free list header blocks if they are heap allocated.  This avoids
9741  some unnecessary tracing.  And it remains correct if we clear the
9742  root set.  (Thanks to Jeff Sturm for identifying the bug.)
9743  * Improved S390/Linux support.  Add S390/Linux 64-bit support (thanks to
9744  Ulrich Weigand).
9745  * Corrected the spelling of GC_{M,C}ALLOC_EXPLICTLY_TYPED to
9746  GC_{M,C}ALLOC_EXPLICITLY_TYPED in gc_typed.h.  This is technically
9747  an interface change.  Based on the fact that nobody reported this,
9748  I suspect/hope there were no clients.
9749  * Cleaned up gc_typed.h so that (1) it adds an extern "C" declaration
9750  when appropriate, (2) doesn't generate references to undefined internal
9751  macros, and (3) allows easier manual construction of descriptors.
9752  * Close the file descriptor used by GC_print_address_map().
9753  * Set the "close-on-exec" bit for various file descriptors maintained
9754  for the collector's internal use.
9755  * Added a hack to find memory segments owned by the system allocator
9756  under win32.  Based on my tests, this tends to eventually find all
9757  segments, though it may take a while.  There appear to be cleaner,
9758  but slower solutions under NT/XP.  But they rely on an API that's
9759  unsupported under 9X.
9760  * Changed Linux PowerPC stack finding to LINUX_STACKBOTTOM.  (Thanks
9761  to Akira Tagoh for pointing out that HEURISTIC1 does not work on
9762  64-bit kernels.)
9763  * Added GC_set_free_space_divisor to avoid some Windows dll issues.
9764  * Added FIXUP_POINTER, POINTER_SHIFT, POINTER_MASK to allow preprocessing
9765  of candidate pointers for tagging, etc.
9766  * Always lock around GC_notify_full_gc().  Simplified code for
9767  invoking GC_notify_full_gc().
9768  * Changed the way DATASTART is defined on FreeBSD to be robust against
9769  an unmapped page after etext.  (Thanks to Hironori Sakamoto for
9770  tracking down the intermittent failure.)
9771  * Made GC_enable() and GC_disable() official.  Deprecated direct update
9772  of GC_dont_gc.  Changed GC_gcollect to be a noop when garbage collection
9773  is disabled.
9774  * Call GC_register_dynamic_libraries before stopping the world on Linux,
9775  in order to avoid a potential deadlock due to the dl_iterate_phdr lock.
9776  * Introduced a more general mechanism for platform-dependent code to
9777  decide whether the main data segment should be handled separately
9778  from dynamic libraries, or registered by GC_register_dynamic_libraries.
9779  The latter is more reliable and easier on Linux with dl_iterate_phdr.
9780  
9781  
9782  == [6.1] ==
9783  
9784  * Added GC_MAXIMUM_HEAP_SIZE environment variable.
9785  * Fix configure.in for MIPS/LINUX (thanks to H.J. Lu).
9786  * Double page hash table size for -DLARGE_CONFIG.
9787  * Integrated Bo Thorsen's x64 support.
9788  * STACKBOTTOM definition for LINUX/MIPS was partially changed back
9789  (thanks to H.J. Lu and Hiroshi Kawashima for resolving this).
9790  * Replaced all occurrences of LINUX_DATA_START in gcconfig.h with
9791  SEARCH_FOR_DATA_START.  It doesn't hurt to fall back to a search.
9792  And __data_start doesn't seem to get defined correctly of the GC
9793  library is loaded with LD_PRELOAD, e.g. for leak detection.
9794  * If the GC_find_leak environment variable is set, do a
9795  atexit(GC_gcollect) to give us at least one chance to detect leaks.
9796  This may report some very benign leaks, but ...
9797  * Addeded REDIRECT_FREE.  It's necessary if we want leak detection with
9798  LD_PRELOAD.
9799  * Defer printing of leaked objects, as for smashed objects.
9800  * Fixed process and descriptor leak in GC_print_callers.  Try for
9801  line number even if we got function name.)
9802  * Ported parallel GC support and thread local allocation to Alpha.
9803  Not yet well-tested.
9804  * Added GC_DUMP_REGULARLY and added finalization statistics to GC_dump().
9805  * Fixed Makefile.am to mention alpha_mach_dep.S instead of the defunct
9806  alpha_mach_dep.s.
9807  * Incorporated a change to new_gc_alloc.h,
9808  which should make it work with gcc3.1.
9809  * Use alpha_mach_dep.S only on Linux.  (It's not clear that this is
9810  optimal, but it otherwise didn't build on Tru64.  Thanks to Fergus Henderson.)
9811  * Added ifdef to guard free() in os_dep.c.  Otherwise we get a
9812  compilation error on Irix (thanks to Dai Sato).
9813  * Added an experimental version of GC_memalign to mallocx.c.  This can't
9814  always work, since we don't handle alignment requests in the hblk-level
9815  allocator, and we can't handle arbitrary pointer displacements unless
9816  GC_all_interior_pointers is enabled.  But it should work for alignment
9817  requests up to HBLKSIZE.  This is not yet documented in the standard
9818  places.
9819  * Finally debugged the OSF1/Tru64 thread support.  This needs more testing,
9820  since I needed to add a somewhat unconvincing workaround for signal
9821  delivery issues that I don't yet completely understand.  But it does
9822  pass my tests, even in parallel GC mode.  Incremental GC support is
9823  disabled if thread support is enabled, due to the signal issues.
9824  * Eliminated name-space-incorrect definition of _cdecl from gc_cpp.h.
9825  * Added GC_debug_malloc_replacement and GC_debug_realloc_replacement
9826  declarations to gc.h.  On IA64, this is required for REDIRECT_MALLOC
9827  to work correctly with these.
9828  * Fixed Linux USE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES to work with a 64-bit /proc format.
9829  
9830  
9831  == [6.1alpha5] 2002-06-19 ==
9832  
9833  * Added GC_finalizer_mem_freed, and changed some of the code that
9834  decided on heap expansion to look at it.  Memory explicitly
9835  deallocated by finalizers essentially needs to be counted as reclaimed
9836  by the GC.  Otherwise there are cases in which the heap can grow
9837  infinitely.  (Thanks to Mark Reichert for the test case.)
9838  * Integrated Adam Megacz patches to not scan dynamic libraries if
9839  we are compiling with gcc on win32.  Otherwise we need structured
9840  exception handling to deal with asynchronously unmapped root
9841  segments, and gcc doesn't directly support that.
9842  * Integrated Anthony Green's patch to support Wine.
9843  * GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY was misspelled OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY in several
9844  places, including gc_cpp.cc (thanks to Wink Saville for pointing this out).
9845  * Integrated Loren J. Rittle's Alpha FreeBSD patches.  These also
9846  changed the declarations of symbols like _end on many platforms to
9847  that they wouldn't mistakenly be declared as short data symbols (suggested by
9848  Richard Henderson).
9849  * Integrated changes from the Debian distribution (thanks to Ryan Murray
9850  for pointing these out).
9851  Fix C++ comments in POWERPC port.  Add ARM32
9852  incremental GC support.  Get rid of USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS for alpha/Linux,
9853  this time for real.  Use va_copy to get rid of cord printf problems
9854  (finally).
9855  * Close file descriptor used to count CPUs (thanks to Jeff Sturm for
9856  pointing out the omission).
9857  * Don't just drop gcj free lists in GC_start_reclaim, since that can
9858  eventually cause the marker to see a bogus mark descriptor in the
9859  dropped objects.  The usual symptom was a very intermittent segmentation
9860  fault in the marker.  This mattered only if one of the GC_gcj_malloc
9861  variants was used (thanks to Michael Smith, Jeff Sturm, Bryce McKinlay and
9862  Tom Tromey for helping to track this down).
9863  * Fixed Linux and Solaris/64 SPARC configuration (thanks to David Miller,
9864  Jeff Sturm, Tom Tromey, and Christian Joensson).
9865  * Fixed a typo in strdup definition (thanks to Gerard A Allan).
9866  * Changed Makefile.direct to invoke $(CC) to assemble alpha_mach_dep.S.
9867  This is needed on Linux.  I'm not sure whether it's better or worse
9868  on Tru64.
9869  * Changed gc_cpp.h once more to declare operator new and friends only in
9870  a Microsoft environment.  This may need further fine tuning (thanks to
9871  Johannes Schmidt for pointing out that the older code breaks on gcc3.0.4).
9872  * Don't ever override strdup if it's already macro defined (thanks to
9873  Adnan Ali for pointing out the problem).
9874  * Changed gc_cpp.h yet again to also overload placement new.  Due to the
9875  C++ overloading rules, the other overloaded new operations otherwise hide
9876  placement new, which causes many STL uses to break (thanks to Reza Shahidi
9877  for reporting this, and to Matt Austern for proposing a fix).
9878  * Integrated cygwin pthreads support from Dan Bonachea.
9879  * Turn on DYNAMIC_LOADING for NetBSD (thanks to Krister Walfridsson).
9880  * Changed printing code to print more complete GC times.
9881  * Applied Mark Mitchell's Irix patch to correct some bit rot.
9882  * Clarified which object-printing routines in dbg_mlc.c should hold
9883  the allocation lock.  Restructured the code to allow reasonable object
9884  printing with -DREDIRECT_MALLOC.
9885  * Fix the Linux mmap code to always start with 0x1000 as the initial hint.
9886  Minor patches for 64-bit AIX, particularly to STACKBOTTOM (thanks to
9887  Jeffrey Mark Siskind).
9888  * Renamed "SUSPENDED" flag for Solaris threads support to avoid a conflict
9889  with a system header (thanks to Philip Brown).
9890  * Cause win32_threads.c to handle an out of range stack pointer correctly,
9891  though currently with a warning.  (Thanks to Jonathan Clark for
9892  observing that Windows applications may temporarily use the stack
9893  pointer for other purposes, and suggesting a fix.  Unfortunately, it's
9894  not clear that there is a complete solution to this problem.)
9895  
9896  
9897  == [6.1alpha4] 2002-06-16 ==
9898  
9899  * Fixed typo in sparc_mach_dep.S, preventing the 64-bit version from
9900  building.  Increased 64-bit heap size limit in test.c slightly, since
9901  a functional SPARC collector seems to slightly exceed the old limits.
9902  * Use NPRGREG in solaris_threads.c, thus printing all registers if things
9903  go wrong.
9904  * Added GC_MARKERS environment variable to allow use of a single marker
9905  thread on an MP without confusing the lock implementation.
9906  * Collect much less aggressively in incremental mode with GC_TIME_UNLIMITED.
9907  This is really a purely generational mode, and we can afford to
9908  postpone the collection until the heap is (nearly) full.
9909  * Remove read() wrapper for MPROTECT_VDB.  It was causing more harm than
9910  good.  It is often no longer needed if system calls avoid writing to
9911  pointerful heap objects.
9912  * Fix MACOSX test in gcconfig.h (thanks to John Clements).
9913  * Change GC_test_and_set so that it consistently has one argument.
9914  Add spaces to ::: in powerpc assembly code in gc_locks.h (thanks to
9915  Ryan Murray).
9916  * Fixed a formatting error in dbg_mlc.c.  Added prototype to GC_abort()
9917  declaration (thanks to Michael Smith).
9918  * Removed "source" argument to GC_find_start().  Eliminate GC_FIND_START().
9919  * Added win32 recognition code in configure.in.  Changed some of the
9920  dllimport/export defines in gc.h (thanks to Adam Megacz).
9921  * GC_malloc_many didn't set hb_last_reclaimed when it called
9922  GC_reclaim_generic.  (I'm not sure this matters much, but ...)
9923  * Allocating uncollectible objects with debug information sometimes
9924  allocated objects that were one byte too small, since uncollectible
9925  objects don't have the extra byte added at the end (thanks to
9926  Wink Saville for pointing this out).
9927  * Added a bit more assertion checking to make sure that gcj objects
9928  on free lists never have a nonzero second word.
9929  * Replaced BCC_MAKEFILE with an up-to-date one (thanks to Andre Leiradella).
9930  * Upgraded libtool, configure.in and some related files to hopefully
9931  support NetBSD/SPARC (thanks to Adrian Bunk).  Unfortunately,
9932  libtool 1.4.2 seemed to be buggy due to missing quotes in several
9933  "test" invocations.  Fixed those in the ltmain.sh script.
9934  * Some win32-specific patches, including the introduction of
9935  GC_CreateThread (thanks to Adam Megacz).
9936  * Merged in gcj changes from Anthony Green to support embedded systems.
9937  * Tried to consistently rename preprocessed assembly files with a capital
9938  .S extension.
9939  * Use alpha_mach_dep.S on ALPHA again.  It doesn't really matter, but this
9940  makes our distribution consistent with the gcc one, avoiding future merge
9941  problems.
9942  * Move GET_MEM definition into gcconfig.h.  Include gcconfig.h slightly
9943  later in gc_priv.h to avoid forward references to ptr_t.
9944  * Add some testing of local allocation to test.c.
9945  * Change definition of INVALID_QTID in specific.h.  The -1 value was used
9946  inconsistently, and too likely to collide with a valid stack address.
9947  Some general clean-up of specific.[ch].  Added assertions.  (Thanks
9948  to Michael Smith for tracking down an intermittent bug to this
9949  general area.  I'm not sure it has been squashed yet, however.)
9950  * On Pthread systems it was not safe to call GC_malloc() between fork()
9951  and exec().  According to the applicable standards, it doesn't appear
9952  to be safe to call malloc() or many other libc functions either, thus
9953  it's not clear this is fixable.  Added experimental support for
9954  -DHANDLE_FORK in linux_threads.c which tries to support it.  It may
9955  succeed if libc does the right thing.  I'm not sure whether it does.
9956  (Thanks to Kenneth Schalk for pointing out this issue.)
9957  * Documented thread local allocation primitives to require an
9958  explicit GC_init call.  GC_init_parallel is no longer declared to
9959  be a constructor function, since that isn't portable and often
9960  seems to lead to initialization order problems.
9961  * Changed gc_cpp.cc and gc_cpp.h in one more attempt to make them
9962  compatible with Visual C++ 6 (thanks to Wink Saville for the patch).
9963  * Some more patches for Linux on HP PA-RISC.
9964  * Added include/gc_allocator.h.  It implements (hopefully) standard
9965  conforming (as opposed to SGI-style) allocators that allocate
9966  collectible (gc_allocator) or GC-traceable, but not collectible
9967  (traceable_allocator) objects.  This borrows heavily from libstc++,
9968  which borrows heavily from the SGI implementation, this part of
9969  which was written by Matt Austern.  Changed test_cpp.cc to very
9970  minimally test this.
9971  * On Linux/x86, retry mmap with a different start argument.  That should
9972  allow the collector to use more (closer to 3GB) of the address space.
9973  * Force 64 bit alignment with GCJ support (reflects Bryce McKinlay's
9974  patch to the gcc tree).
9975  * Refined the choice of sa_handler vs. sa_sigaction in GC_dirty_init
9976  to accommodate some glibc5 systems (thanks to Dan Fandrich for the patch).
9977  * Compensated for the fact that current versions of glibc set
9978  __libc_stack_end incorrectly on Linux/IA64 while initialization code
9979  is running.  This could cause the collector to miss 16 bytes of
9980  the memory stack if GC_malloc or friends where called before main().
9981  * Mostly integrated Takis Psarogiannakopoulos' port to DG/UX Inix 86.
9982  This will probably take another iteration to work, since his
9983  patch conflicted with the libtool upgrade.
9984  * Added README.arm.cross containing some information about cross-
9985  compiling to an ARM processor from Margaret Fleck (original code provided by
9986  Bradley D. LaRonde; edited by Andrej Cedilnik using some of solutions by
9987  Tilman Vogel; also ported for iPAQ by Oliver Kurth).
9988  
9989  
9990  == [6.1alpha3] 2002-02-07 ==
9991  
9992  * Minor cleanup on the gcconfig.h section for SPARC.
9993  * Minor fix to support Intel compiler for Linux/x86 (thanks to
9994  Sven Hartrumpf).
9995  * Added SPARC V9 (64-bit) support (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
9996  * Restructured the way in which we determine whether or not to keep
9997  call stacks for debug allocation.  By default SAVE_CALL_COUNT is
9998  now zero on all platforms.  Added SAVE_CALL_NARGS parameters.
9999  If possible, use execinfo.h to capture call stack.  (This should
10000  add support for a number of new platforms, though often at
10001  considerable runtime expense.)
10002  * Try to print symbolic information for call stacks.  On Linux, we
10003  do this with a combination of execinfo.h and running addr2line in
10004  a separate process.  This is both much more expensive and much more
10005  useful.  Amazingly, it seems to be fast enough for most purposes.
10006  * Redefined strdup if -DREDIRECT_MALLOC is given.
10007  * Changed incremental collector and MPROTECT_VDB implementation so that,
10008  under favorable conditions, pointer-free objects are not protected.
10009  Added GC_incremental_protection_needs() to determine ahead of time whether
10010  pointer-free objects may be protected.  Replaced GC_write_hint() with
10011  GC_remove_protection().
10012  * Added test for GC_ENABLE_INCREMENTAL environment variable.
10013  * Made GC_time_limit runtime configurable.  Added GC_PAUSE_TIME_TARGET
10014  environment variable.
10015  * Eliminated GC_page_sz, a duplicate of GC_page_size.
10016  * Caused the Solaris and Irix thread creation primitives to call
10017  GC_init_inner().
10018  
10019  
10020  == [6.1alpha2] 2001-12-20 ==
10021  
10022  * No longer wrap read by default in multi-threaded applications.  It was
10023  pointed out on the libgcj list that this holds the allocation lock for
10024  way too long if the read blocks.  For now, reads into the heap are
10025  broken with incremental collection.  It's possible to turn this back on
10026  if you make sure that read calls don't block (e.g. by calling select
10027  first).
10028  * Fix ifdef in Solaris_threads.h to refer to GC_SOLARIS_THREADS.
10029  * Added check for environment variable GC_IGNORE_GCJ_INFO.
10030  * Added printing of stop-the-world GC times if GC_PRINT_STATS environment
10031  variable is set.
10032  * The calloc definition in leak_detector.h was missing parentheses, and
10033  realloc was missing a second argument to GC_REALLOC (thanks to
10034  Elvenlord Elrond).
10035  * Added GC_PRINT_BACK_HEIGHT environment variable and associated
10036  code, mostly in the new file backgraph.c.  See doc/README.environment.
10037  * Added -DUSE_GLOBAL_ALLOC to work around a Windows NT issue (thanks to
10038  Jonathan Clark).
10039  * Integrated port to NEC EWS4800 (MIPS-based workstation, with somewhat
10040  different address-space layout).  This may help for other machines with
10041  holes in the data segment.  (Thanks to Hironori Sakamoto.)
10042  * Changed the order in which GC_push_roots and friends push things onto
10043  the mark stack.  GC_push_all calls need to come first, since we can't
10044  necessarily recover if those overflow the mark stack.  (Thanks to
10045  Matthew Flatt for tracking down the problem.)
10046  * Some minor cleanups to mostly support the Intel compiler on Linux/IA64.
10047  
10048  
10049  == [6.1alpha1] 2001-09-22 ==
10050  
10051  * Non-debug, atomic allocations could result in bogus smashed object
10052  reports with debugging on (thanks to Patrick Doyle for the small test case).
10053  * Fixed GC_get_register_stack_base (Itanium only) to work around a glibc
10054  2.2.4 bug.
10055  * Initial port to HP/UX on Itanium.  Thread support and both 32 and 64
10056  bit ABIs appear to work.  Parallel mark support doesn't yet, due to
10057  some inline assembly code issues.  Thread local allocation does appear
10058  to work.
10059  * ifdef'ed out glibc2.1/Itanium workaround.  I suspect nobody is using
10060  that combination anymore.
10061  * Added a patch to make new_gc_alloc.h usable with gcc3.0 (thanks to
10062  Dimitris Vyzovitis for the patch).
10063  * Debugged 64-bit support on HP/UX PA-RISC.
10064  * Turned on dynamic loading support for FreeBSD/ELF (thanks to Peter Housel).
10065  * Unregistering of finalizers with debugging allocation was broken (thanks
10066  to Jani Kajala for the test case).
10067  * Old finalizers were not returned correctly from GC_debug_register_finalizer.
10068  * Disabled MPROTECT_VDB for Linux/M68K based on a report that it doesn't work.
10069  * Cleaned up some statistics gathering code in reclaim.c (thanks to
10070  Walter Bright).
10071  * Added some support for OpenBSD/ELF/Linux (thanks to Suzuki Toshiya).
10072  * Added Jakub Jelinek's patch to use dl_iterate_phdr for dynamic library
10073  traversal to dyn_load.c.  Changed it to weakly reference dl_iterate_phdr,
10074  so that the old code is still used with old versions of glibc.
10075  * Cleaned up feature test macros for various threads packages and
10076  integrated (partially functional) FreeBSD threads code from Loren J. Rittle.
10077  It's likely that the cleanup broke something, since it touched lots of
10078  code.  It's also likely that it fixed some unreported bugs in the
10079  less common thread implementations, since some of the original code
10080  didn't stand up to close scrutiny.  Support for the next pthreads
10081  implementation should be easier to add.
10082  
10083  
10084  == [6.0] 2001-07-26 ==
10085  
10086  * Two more bug fixes for KEEP_BACK_PTRS and DBG_HDRS_ALL.
10087  * Fixed a stack clearing problem that resulted in SIGILL with a
10088  misaligned stack pointer for multi-threaded SPARC builds.
10089  * Integrated another HURD patch (thanks to Igor Khavkine).
10090  
10091  
10092  == [6.0alpha9] ==
10093  
10094  * added README.macros.
10095  * Made gc.mak a symbolic link to work around winzip's tendency to ignore
10096  hard links.
10097  * Simplified the setting of NEED_FIND_LIMIT in os_dep.c, possibly breaking
10098  it on untested platforms.
10099  * Integrated initial GNU HURD port (thanks to Chris Lingard and
10100  Igor Khavkine).
10101  * A few more fixes for Digital Mars compiler (by Walter Bright).
10102  * Fixed gcc version recognition.  Renamed OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to
10103  GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY.  Changed GC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY to be the default.
10104  It can be overridden with -DGC_NO_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY (thanks to
10105  Cesar Eduardo Barros).
10106  * Changed the byte size to free-list mapping in thread local allocation
10107  so that size 0 allocations are handled correctly.
10108  * Fixed Linux/MIPS stackbottom for new toolchain (thanks to Ryan Murray).
10109  * Changed finalization registration to invoke GC_oom_fn when it runs out
10110  of memory.
10111  * Removed lvalue cast in finalize.c.  This caused some debug configurations
10112  not to build with some non-gcc compilers.
10113  
10114  
10115  == [6.0alpha8] 2001-06-15 ==
10116  
10117  * Changed GC_debug_malloc_replacement and GC_debug_realloc_replacement
10118  so that they compile under Irix (thanks to Dave Love).
10119  * Updated powerpc_macosx_mach_dep.s so that it works if the collector
10120  is in a dynamic library (thanks to Andrew Begel).
10121  * Transformed README.debugging into debugging.html, updating and
10122  expanding it in the process.  Added gcdescr.html and tree.html
10123  from the web site to the GC distribution.
10124  * Fixed several problems related to PRINT_BLACK_LIST.  This involved
10125  restructuring some of the marker macros.
10126  * Fixed some problems with the sizing of objects with debug information.
10127  Finalization was broken KEEP_BACK_PTRS or PRINT_BLACK_LIST.  Reduced the
10128  object size with SHORT_DEBUG_HDRS by another word.
10129  * The "Needed to allocate blacklisted ..." warning had inadvertently
10130  been turned off by default, due to a buggy test in allchblk.c.  Turned
10131  it back on.
10132  * Removed the marker macros to deal with 2 pointers in interleaved fashion.
10133  They were messy and the performance improvement seemed minimal.  We'll
10134  leave such scheduling issues to the compiler.
10135  * Changed Linux/PowerPC test to also check for __powerpc__ in response
10136  to a discussion on the gcc mailing list.
10137  * Removed the "static" from the jmp_buf declaration in GC_generic_push_regs
10138  (suggested by Matthew Flatt).  This was causing problems in
10139  systems that register all of their own roots.  It looks far more correct
10140  to me without the "static" anyway.
10141  * Fixed several problems with thread local allocation of pointer-free or
10142  typed objects.  The collector was reclaiming thread-local free lists, since
10143  it wasn't following the link fields.
10144  * There was apparently a long-standing race condition related to
10145  multi-threaded incremental collection.  A collection could be started and
10146  a thread stopped between the memory unprotect system call and the setting of
10147  the corresponding dirt bit.  I believe this did not affect Solaris or PCR,
10148  which use a different dirty-bit implementation.  Fixed this by installing
10149  signal handlers with sigaction instead of signal, and disabling the thread
10150  suspend signal while in the write-protect handler.  (It is unclear
10151  whether this scenario ever actually occurred.)
10152  * Incremental collection did not cooperate correctly with the PARALLEL_MARK
10153  implementation of GC_malloc_many or the local_malloc primitives.  It still
10154  doesn't work well, but it shouldn't lose memory anymore.
10155  * Integrated some changes from the gcc source tree that I had previously
10156  missed (thanks to Bryce McKinlay for the reminder and patch).
10157  * Added Makefile.direct as a copy of the default Makefile, which would
10158  normally be overwritten if configure is run.
10159  * Changed the gc.tar target in Makefile.direct to embed the version number
10160  in the gc directory name.  This will affect future tar file distributions.
10161  * Changed the Irix dynamic library finding code to no longer try to
10162  eliminate writable text segments under Irix6.x, since that is probably no
10163  longer necessary, and can apparently be unsafe on occasion (thanks to
10164  Shiro Kawai for pointing this out).
10165  * GC_cleanup with GC_DEBUG enabled passed a real object base address to
10166  GC_debug_register_finalizer_ignore_self, which expected a pointer past the
10167  debug header.  Call GC_register_finalizer_ignore_self instead, even with
10168  debugging enabled (thanks to Jean-Daniel Fekete for catching this).
10169  * The collector didn't build with call chain saving enabled but NARGS=0.
10170  * Fixed up the GNU-style build files enough so that they work in some
10171  obvious cases (thanks to Maarten Thibaut).
10172  * Added initial port to Digital Mars compiler for win32 (thanks to Walter
10173  Bright).
10174  
10175  
10176  == [6.0alpha7] 2001-04-19 ==
10177  
10178  * Added GC_finalizer_notifier.  Fixed GC_finalize_on_demand.  (The variable
10179  actually wasn't being tested at the right points.  The build-time flag
10180  was.)
10181  * Added Tom Tromey's S390 Linux patch.
10182  * Added code to push GC_finalize_now in GC_push_finalizer_structures
10183  (thanks to Matthew Flatt).
10184  * Added GC_push_gc_structures() to push all GC internal roots.
10185  * Integrated some FreeBSD changes from Matthew Flatt.
10186  * It looks like USRSTACK is not always correctly defined under Solaris.
10187  Hacked gcconfig.h to attempt to work around the problem.  The result
10188  is not well tested.  (Thanks again to Matthew Flatt for pointing this out.)
10189  * Added Ji-Yong Chung's win32 threads and C++ fixes.
10190  * Arranged for hpux_test_and_clear.s to no longer be needed or built.
10191  It was causing build problems with gas, and it's not clear this is
10192  better than the pthreads alternative on this platform.
10193  * Some MINGW32 fixes from Hubert Garavel.
10194  * Added initial Hitachi SH4 port from Kaz Kojima.
10195  * Ported thread-local allocation and parallel mark code to HP/UX on PA_RISC.
10196  * Made include/gc_mark.h more public and separated out the really private
10197  pieces.  This is probably still not quite sufficient for clients that
10198  want to supply their own kind of type information.  But it's a start.
10199  This involved lots of identifier renaming to make it namespace clean.
10200  * Added GC_dont_precollect for clients that need complete control over
10201  the root set.
10202  * GC_is_visible didn't do the right thing with gcj objects.  (Not that
10203  many people are likely to care, but ...)
10204  * Don't redefine read with GC_USE_LD_WRAP.
10205  * Initial port to LINUX/HP_PA.  Incremental collection and threads are not
10206  yet supported.  (Incremental collection should work if you have the
10207  right kernel.  Threads may work with a sufficiently patched pthread
10208  library.)
10209  * Changed gcconfig.h to recognize __i386__ as an alternative to x86 in
10210  many places (thanks to Benjamin Lerman).
10211  * Made win32_threads.c more tolerant of detaching a thread that it didn't
10212  know about (thanks to Paul Nash).
10213  * Added Makefile.am and configure.in from gcc to the distribution, with
10214  minimal changes.  For the moment, those are just placeholders.  In the
10215  future, we're planning to switch to a GNU-style build environment for
10216  Un*x-like systems, though the old Makefile will remain as a backup.
10217  * Turned off STUBBORN_ALLOC by default, and added it back as a Makefile
10218  option.
10219  * Redistributed some functions between malloc.c and mallocx.c, so that
10220  simple statically linked apps no longer pull in mallocx.o.
10221  * Changed large object allocation to clear the first and last few words
10222  of each block before releasing the lock.  Otherwise the marker could see
10223  objects with nonsensical type descriptors.
10224  * Fixed a couple of subtle problems that could result in not recognizing
10225  interior pointers from the stack.  (I believe these were introduced
10226  in 6.0alpha6.)
10227  * GC_debug_free_inner called GC_free, which tried to reacquire the
10228  allocator lock, and hence deadlocked.  (DBG_HDRS_ALL probably never worked
10229  with threads.)
10230  * Fixed several problems with back traces.  Accidental references to a free
10231  list could cause the free list pointer to be overwritten by a back pointer.
10232  There seemed to be some problems with the encoding of root and finalizer
10233  references.
10234  
10235  
10236  == [6.0alpha6] ==
10237  
10238  * Changed the definition of DATASTART on ALPHA and IA64, where data_start
10239  and __data_start are not defined by earlier versions of glibc.  This might
10240  need to be fixed on other platforms as well.
10241  * Changed the way the stack base and backing store base are found on IA64.
10242  This should now remain reliable on future kernels.  But since it relies
10243  on /proc, it will no longer work in the simulated NUE environment.
10244  * Made the call to random() in dbg_mlc.c with -DKEEP_BACK_PTRS dependent
10245  on the OS.  On non-Unix systems, rand() should be used instead.  Handled
10246  small RAND_MAX (thanks to Peter Ross for pointing this out).
10247  * Fixed the cord make rules to create the cord subdirectory, if necessary
10248  (thanks to Doug Moen).
10249  * Changed fo_object_size calculation in finalize.c.  Turned finalization
10250  of non-heap object into a no-op.  Removed anachronism from GC_size()
10251  implementation.
10252  * Changed GC_push_dirty call in solaris_threads.c to GC_push_selected.
10253  It was missed in a previous renaming (thanks to Vladimir Tsichevski
10254  for pointing this out).
10255  * Arranged to not mask SIGABRT in linux_threads.c (thanks to Bryce McKinlay).
10256  * Added GC_no_dls hook for applications that want to register their own
10257  roots.
10258  * Integrated Kjetil Matheussen's Amiga changes.
10259  * Added FREEBSD_STACKBOTTOM.  Changed the FreeBSD/x86 port to use it
10260  (thanks to Matthew Flatt).
10261  * Added pthread_detach interception for platforms supported by linux_threads.c
10262  and irix_threads.c.
10263  * Changed the USE_MMAP code to check for the case in which we got the
10264  high end of the address space, i.e. mem_ptr + mem_sz == 0.  It appears
10265  that this can happen under Solaris 7.  It seems to be allowed by what
10266  I would claim is an oversight in the mmap specification.  (Thanks to
10267  Toshio Endo for pointing out the problem.)
10268  * Cleanup of linux_threads.c.  Some code was originally cloned from
10269  irix_threads.c and now unnecessary.  Some comments were obviously wrong.
10270  * (Mostly) fixed a longstanding problem with setting of dirty bits from
10271  a signal handler.  In the presence of threads, dirty bits could get lost,
10272  since the getting of a bit in the bit vector was not atomic with respect
10273  to other updates.  The fix is 100% correct only for platforms for which
10274  GC_test_and_set is defined.  The goal is to make that all platforms with
10275  thread support.  Matters only if incremental GC and threads are both
10276  enabled.
10277  * made GC_all_interior_pointers (a.k.a. ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS) an
10278  initialization time, instead of build-time option.  This is a
10279  nontrivial, high risk change.  It should slow down the code measurably
10280  only if MERGE_SIZES is not defined, which is a very nonstandard
10281  configuration.
10282  * Added doc/README.environment, and implemented what it describes.  This
10283  allows a number of additional configuration options to be set through
10284  the environment.  It documents a few previously undocumented options.
10285  * Integrated Eric Benson's leak testing improvements.
10286  * Removed the option to throw away the beginning of each page (DISCARD_WORDS).
10287  This became less and less useful as processors enforce stricter alignment.
10288  And it hadn't been tested in ages, and was thus probably broken anyway.
10289  
10290  
10291  == [6.0alpha5] ==
10292  
10293  * Changed the definition of GC_pause in linux_threads.c to use a volatile
10294  asm.  Some versions of gcc apparently optimize away writes to local volatile
10295  variables.  This caused poor locking behavior starting at about
10296  4 processors.
10297  * Added GC_start_blocking(), GC_end_blocking() calls and wrapper for sleep
10298  to linux_threads.c.
10299  The first two calls could be used to generally avoid sending GC signals to
10300  blocked threads, avoiding both premature wakeups and unnecessary overhead.
10301  * Fixed a serious bug in thread-local allocation.  At thread termination,
10302  GC_free could get called on small integers.  Changed the code for thread
10303  termination to more efficiently return left-over free-lists.
10304  * Integrated Kjetil Matheussen's BeOS support.
10305  * Rearranged the directory structure to create the doc and tests
10306  subdirectories.
10307  * Sort of integrated Eric Benson's patch for OSF1.  This provided basic
10308  OSF1 thread support by suitably extending hpux_irix_threads.c.  Based
10309  on earlier email conversations with David Butenhof, I suspect that it
10310  will be more reliable in the long run to base this on linux_threads.c
10311  instead.  Thus I attempted to patch up linux_threads.c based on Eric's code.
10312  The result is almost certainly broken, but hopefully close enough that
10313  someone with access to a machine can pick it up.
10314  * Integrated lots of minor changes from the NetBSD distribution.  (These
10315  were supplied by David Brownlee.  I'm not sure about the original
10316  authors.)
10317  * Hacked a bit more on the HP/UX thread-support in linux_threads.c.  It
10318  now appears to work in the absence of incremental collection.  Renamed
10319  hpux_irix_threads.c back to irix_threads.c, and removed the attempt to
10320  support HPUX there.
10321  * Changed gc.h to define _REENTRANT in cases in which it should already
10322  have been defined. It is still safer to also define it on the command
10323  line.
10324  
10325  
10326  == [6.0alpha4] ==
10327  
10328  * Moved up the detection of mostly full blocks to the initiation of the
10329  sweep phase.  This eliminates some lock contention in the PARALLEL_MARK case,
10330  as multiple threads try to look at mostly full blocks concurrently.
10331  * Restored the code in GC_malloc_many that grabs a prefix of the global
10332  free list.  This avoids the case in which every GC_malloc_many call
10333  tries and fails to allocate a new heap block, and the returns a single
10334  object from the global free list.
10335  * Some minor fixes in new_hblk.c.  (Attempted to build free lists in order
10336  of increasing addresses instead of decreasing addresses for cache performance
10337  reasons.  But this seems to be only a very minor gain with -DEAGER_SWEEP,
10338  and a loss in other cases.  So the change was backed out.)
10339  * Fixed some of the documentation (thanks in large part to Fergus Henderson).
10340  * Fixed the Linux USE_PROC_FOR_LIBRARIES code to deal with apps that perform
10341  large numbers of mmaps (thanks to Eric Benson).  Also fixed that code to
10342  deal with short reads.
10343  * Added GC_get_total_bytes().
10344  * Fixed leak detection mode to avoid spurious messages under linuxthreads.
10345  (This should also now be easy for the other supported threads packages.
10346  But the code is tricky enough that I'm hesitant to do it without being able
10347  to test.  Everything allocated in the GC thread support itself should be
10348  explicitly deallocated.)
10349  * Made it possible (with luck) to redirect malloc to GC_local_malloc.
10350  
10351  
10352  == [6.0alpha3] 2000-09-26 ==
10353  
10354  * Fixed the /proc/self/maps code to not seek, since that apparently is not
10355  reliable across all interesting kernels.
10356  * Fixed some compilation problems in the absence of PARALLEL_MARK
10357  (introduced in alpha2).
10358  * Fixed an algorithmic problem with PARALLEL_MARK.  If work needs to
10359  be given back to the main mark "stack", the BOTTOM entries of the local
10360  stack should be given away, not the top ones.  This has substantial
10361  performance impact, especially for > 2 processors, from what I can tell.
10362  * Extracted gc_lock.h from gc_priv.h.  This should eventually make it a
10363  bit easier to avoid including gc_priv.h in clients.
10364  * Moved all include files to include/ and removed duplicate links to the
10365  same file.  The old scheme was a bad idea because it was too easy to get the
10366  copies out of sync, and many systems don't support hard links.
10367  Unfortunately, it's likely that I broke some of the non-Unix Makefiles in
10368  the process, although I tried to update them appropriately.
10369  * Removed the partial support for a copied nursery.  It's not clear that
10370  this would be a tremendous win, since we don't consistently lose to
10371  generational copying collectors.  And it would significantly complicate
10372  many things.  May be reintroduced if/when it really turns out to win.
10373  * Removed references to IRIX_JDK_THREADS, since I believe there never
10374  were and never will be any clients.
10375  * Added some code to linux_threads.c to possibly support HPUX threads
10376  using the Linux code.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work yet, and is
10377  currently disabled.
10378  * Added support under Linux/x86 for saving the call chain, both in (debug)
10379  objects for client debugging, and in GC_arrays._last_stack for GC
10380  debugging.  This was previously supported only under Solaris.  It is
10381  not enabled by default under x86, since it requires that code be compiled
10382  to explicitly gave frame pointers on the call stack.  (With gcc this
10383  currently happens by default, but is often turned off explicitly.)
10384  To turn it on, define SAVE_CALL_CHAIN.
10385  
10386  
10387  == [6.0alpha2] ==
10388  
10389  * Added USE_MARK_BYTES to reduce the need for compare-and-swap on platforms
10390  for which that's expensive.
10391  * Fixed a locking bug ib GC_gcj_malloc and some locking assertion problems.
10392  * Added a missing volatile to OR_WORD and renamed the parameter to
10393  GC_compare_and_swap so it's not a C++ reserved word (thanks to
10394  Toshio Endo for pointing out both of those).
10395  * Changed Linux dynamic library registration code to look at /proc/self/maps
10396  instead of the rld data structures when REDIRECT_MALLOC is defined.
10397  Otherwise some of the rld data data structures may be prematurely garbage
10398  collected.
10399  * Fixed USE_LD_WRAP a bit more, so it should now work without threads.
10400  * Renamed XXX_THREADS macros to GC_XXX_THREADS for namespace correctness.
10401  Temporarily added some backward compatibility definitions.  Renamed
10402  USE_LD_WRAP to GC_USE_LD_WRAP.
10403  * Many MACOSX POWERPC changes, some additions to the gctest output, and
10404  a few minor generic bug fixes (thanks to Dietmar Planitzer).
10405  
10406  
10407  == [6.0alpha1] ==
10408  
10409  * Added HP/PA prefetch support.
10410  * Added -DDBG_HDRS_ALL and -DSHORT_DBG_HDRS to reduce the cost and improve
10411  the reliability of generating pointer backtrace information, e.g. in
10412  the Bigloo environment.
10413  * Added parallel marking support (-DPARALLEL_MARK).  This currently
10414  works only under IA32 and IA64 Linux, but it shouldn't be hard to adapt
10415  to other platforms.  This is intended to be a lighter-weight (less
10416  new code, probably not as scalable) solution than the work by Toshio Endo
10417  et al, at the University of Tokyo.  A number of their ideas were
10418  reused, though the code wasn't, and the underlying data structure
10419  is significantly different.  In particular, we keep the global mark
10420  stack as a single shared data structure, but most of the work is done
10421  on smaller thread-local mark stacks.
10422  * Changed GC_malloc_many to be cheaper, and to require less mutual exclusion
10423  with -DPARALLEL_MARK.
10424  * Added full support for thread local allocation under Linux
10425  (-DTHREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC).  This is a thin veneer on GC_malloc_many, and
10426  should be easily portable to other platforms, especially those that
10427  support pthreads.
10428  * CLEAR_DOUBLE was not always getting invoked when it should have been.
10429  * GC_gcj_malloc and friends used different out of memory handling than
10430  everything else, probably because I forgot about one when I implemented
10431  the other.  They now both call GC_oom_fn(), not GC_oom_action().
10432  * Integrated Jakub Jelinek's fixes for Linux/SPARC.
10433  * Moved GC_objfreelist, GC_aobjfreelist, and GC_words_allocd out of
10434  GC_arrays, and separately registered the first two as excluded roots.
10435  This makes code compiled with gc_inl.h less dependent on the
10436  collector version.  (It would be nice to remove the inclusion of
10437  gc_priv.h by gc_inl.h completely, but we're not there yet.  The
10438  locking definitions in gc_priv.h are still referenced.)
10439  This change was later conditioned on SEPARATE_GLOBALS, which
10440  is not defined by default, since it involves a performance hit.
10441  * Register GC_obj_kinds separately as an excluded root region.  The
10442  attempt to register it with GC_arrays was usually failing.  (This wasn't
10443  serious, but seemed to generate some confusion.)
10444  * Moved backptr.h to gc_backptr.h.
10445  
10446  
10447  == [5.4] ==
10448  
10449  * Fixed a typo that prevented compilation with -DUSE_3DNOW_PREFETCH (thanks to
10450  Shawn Wagner for actually testing this).
10451  * Fixed GC_is_thread_stack in solaris_threads.c.  It forgot to return a value
10452  in the common case.
10453  * Fixed another silly syntax problem in GC_double_descr (thanks to
10454  Fergus Henderson for finding it).
10455  * Fixed a GC_gcj_malloc bug: It tended to release the allocator lock twice.
10456  
10457  
10458  == [5.3] 2000-09-24 ==
10459  
10460  * Fixed _end declaration for OSF1.
10461  * There were lots of spurious leak reports in leak detection mode, caused
10462  by the fact that some pages were not being swept, and hence unmarked
10463  objects weren't making it onto free lists.  (This bug dated back to 5.0.)
10464  * Fixed a typo in the liblinuxgc.so Makefile rule.
10465  * Added the GetExitCodeThread to Win32 GC_stop_world to (mostly) work
10466  around a Windows 95 GetOpenFileName problem (thanks to Jacob Navia).
10467  
10468  
10469  == [5.2] ==
10470  
10471  * dyn_load.c declared GC_scratch_last_end_ptr as an extern even if it
10472  was defined as a macro.  This prevented the collector from building on
10473  Irix.
10474  * We quietly assumed that indirect mark descriptors were never 0.
10475  Our own typed allocation interface violated that.  This could result
10476  in segmentation faults in the marker with typed allocation.
10477  * Fixed a _DUSE_MUNMAP bug in the heap block allocation code (thanks to
10478  Ben Hutchings for the patch).
10479  * Taught the collector about VC++ handling array operator new (thanks to
10480  Ben Hutchings for the patch).
10481  * The two copies of gc_hdrs.h had diverged.  Made one a link to the other
10482  again.
10483  
10484  
10485  == [5.1] ==
10486  
10487  * Fixed a gc.h header bug which showed up under Irix (thanks to Dan Sullivan).
10488  * Fixed a typo in GC_double_descr in typd_mlc.c.
10489  This probably could result in objects described by array descriptors not
10490  getting traced correctly (thanks to Ben Hutchings for pointing this out).
10491  * The block nearly full tests in reclaim.c were not correct for 64 bit
10492  environments.  This could result in unnecessary heap growth under unlikely
10493  conditions.
10494  
10495  
10496  == [5.0] ==
10497  
10498  * Fixed threadlibs.c for linux threads.  -DUSE_LD_WRAP was broken and
10499  -ldl was omitted.  Fixed Linux stack finding code to handle
10500  -DUSE_LD_WRAP correctly.
10501  * Added MSWIN32 exception handler around marker, so that the collector
10502  can recover from root segments that are unmapped during the collection.
10503  This caused occasional failures under Windows 98, and may also be
10504  an issue under Windows NT/2000.
10505  
10506  
10507  == [5.0alpha7] ==
10508  
10509  * -DREDIRECT_MALLOC was broken in alpha6. Fixed.
10510  * Cleaned up gc_ccp.h slightly, thus also causing the HP C++ compiler to
10511  accept it.
10512  * Removed accidental reference to dbg_mlc.c, which caused dbg_mlc.o to be
10513  linked into every executable.
10514  * Added PREFETCH to bitmap marker.  Changed it to use the header cache.
10515  * GC_push_marked sometimes pushed one object too many, resulting in a
10516  segmentation fault in GC_mark_from_mark_stack.  This was probably an old
10517  bug.  It finally showed up in gctest on win32.
10518  * Gc_priv.h erroneously #defined GC_incremental to be TRUE instead of FALSE
10519  when SMALL_CONFIG was defined.  This was no doubt a major performance bug for
10520  the default win32 configuration.
10521  * Removed -DSMALL_CONFIG from NT_MAKEFILE.  It seemed like an anachronism now
10522  that the average PC has 64MB or so.
10523  * Integrated Bryce McKinlay's patches for linux threads and dynamic loading
10524  from the libgcj tree.  Turned on dynamic loading support for Linux/PPC.
10525  * Changed the stack finding code to use environ on HP/UX (thanks
10526  to Gustavo Rodriguez-Rivera for the suggestion).  This should
10527  probably be done on other platforms, too.  Since I can't test those, that'll
10528  wait until after 5.0.
10529  
10530  
10531  == [5.0alpha6] ==
10532  
10533  * GC_malloc_explicitly_typed and friends sometimes failed to
10534  initialize first word.
10535  * Added allocation routines and support in the marker for mark descriptors
10536  in a type structure referenced by the first word of an object.  This was
10537  introduced to support gcj, but hopefully in a way that makes it
10538  generically useful.
10539  * Added GC_requested_heapsize, and inhibited collections in non-incremental
10540  mode if the actual used heap size is less than what was explicitly
10541  requested.
10542  * The Solaris pthreads version of GC_pthread_create didn't handle a NULL
10543  attribute pointer.  Solaris thread support used the wrong default thread
10544  stack size (thanks to Melissa O'Neill for the patch).
10545  * Changed PUSH_CONTENTS macro to no longer modify first parameter.
10546  This usually doesn't matter, but it was certainly an accident waiting
10547  to happen ...
10548  * Added GC_register_finalizer_no_order and friends to gc.h.  They're
10549  needed by Java implementations.
10550  * Integrated a fix for a win32 deadlock resulting from clock() calling
10551  malloc (thanks to Chris Dodd).
10552  * Integrated Hiroshi Kawashima's port to Linux/MIPS.  This was designed
10553  for a handheld platform, and may or may not be sufficient for other
10554  machines.
10555  * Fixed a va_arg problem with the %c specifier in cordprnt.c.  It appears
10556  that this was always broken, but recent versions of gcc are the first to
10557  report the (statically detectable) bug.
10558  * Added an attempt at a more general solution to dlopen races/deadlocks.
10559  GC_dlopen now temporarily disables collection.  Still not ideal, but ...
10560  * Added -DUSE_I686_PREFETCH, -DUSE_3DNOW_PREFETCH, and support for IA64
10561  prefetch instructions.  May improve performance measurably, but I'm not
10562  sure the code will run correctly on processors that don't support the
10563  instruction.  Won't build except with very recent gcc.
10564  * Added caching for header lookups in the marker.  This seems to result
10565  in a barely measurable performance gain.  Added support for interleaved
10566  lookups of two pointers, but unconfigured that since the performance
10567  gain is currently near zero, and it adds to code size.
10568  * Changed Linux DATASTART definition to check both data_start and
10569  __data_start, since nothing else seems to be portable.
10570  * Added -DUSE_LD_WRAP to optionally take advantage of the GNU ld function
10571  wrapping mechanism.  Probably currently useful only on Linux.
10572  * Moved some variables for the scratch allocator into GC_arrays (suggested
10573  by Martin Hirzel).
10574  * Fixed a win32 threads bug that caused the collector to not look for
10575  interior pointers from one of the thread stacks without
10576  ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (thanks to Jeff Sturm).
10577  * Added Mingw32 support (thanks to Jeff Sturm for the patch).
10578  * Changed the alpha port to use the generic register scanning code instead
10579  of alpha_mach_dep.s.  Alpha_mach_dep.s doesn't look for pointers in fp
10580  registers, but gcc sometimes spills pointers there (thanks to Manuel Serrano
10581  for helping debug this).  Changed the IA64 code to
10582  do something similar for similar reasons.

10584  
10585  == [5.0alpha4] 1999-10-30 ==
10586  
10587  * Added protection fault handling patch for Linux/M68K from Fergus
10588  Henderson and Roman Hodek.
10589  * Removed the tests for SGI_SOURCE in new_gc_alloc.h.  This was causing that
10590  interface to fail on non-SGI platforms.
10591  * Changed the Linux stack finding code to use /proc, after changing it
10592  to use HEURISTIC1 (thanks to David Mosberger for pointing out /proc hook).
10593  * Added HP/UX incremental GC support and HP/UX 11 thread support.
10594  Thread support is currently still flaky.
10595  * Added basic Linux/IA64 support.
10596  * Integrated Anthony Green's PicoJava support.
10597  * Integrated Scott Ananian's StrongARM/NetBSD support.
10598  * Fixed some fairly serious performance bugs in the incremental
10599  collector.  These have probably been there essentially forever.
10600  (Mark bits were sometimes set before scanning dirty pages.
10601  The reclaim phase unnecessarily dirtied full small object pages.)
10602  * Changed the reclaim phase to ignore nearly full pages to avoid
10603  touching them.
10604  * Limited GC_black_list_spacing to roughly the heap growth increment.
10605  * Changed full collection triggering heuristic to decrease full GC
10606  frequency by default, but to explicitly trigger full GCs during
10607  heap growth.  This doesn't always improve things, but on average it's
10608  probably a win.
10609  * GC_debug_free(0, ...) failed (thanks to Fergus Henderson for the
10610  bug report and fix).

10614  
10615  (Also known as 4.15alpha3.)
10616  * Added some highly incomplete code to support a copied young generation.
10617  Comments on nursery.h are appreciated.
10618  * Changed -DFIND_LEAK, -DJAVA_FINALIZATION, and -DFINALIZE_ON_DEMAND,
10619  so the same effect could be obtained with a runtime switch.   This is
10620  a step towards standardizing on a single dynamic GC library.
10621  * Significantly changed the way leak detection is handled, as a consequence
10622  of the above.

10629  idea came from Alan Demers.)

10635  * Reworked large block allocator.  Now uses multiple doubly linked free
10636  lists to approximate best fit.
10637  * Changed heap expansion heuristic.  Entirely free blocks are no longer
10638  counted towards the heap size.  This seems to have a major impact on
10639  heap size stability; the old version could expand the heap way too
10640  much in the presence of large block fragmentation.
10641  * added -DGC_ASSERTIONS and some simple assertions inside the collector.
10642  This is mainlyt for collector debugging.
10643  * added -DUSE_MUNMAP to allow the heap to shrink.  Supported on only
10644  a few UNIX-like platforms for now.
10645  * added GC_dump_regions() for debugging of fragmentation issues.
10646  * Changed PowerPC pointer alignment under Linux to 4.
10647  * Changed the Linux/Alpha port to walk the data segment backwards until
10648  it encounters a SIGSEGV.  The old way to find the start of the data
10649  segment broke with a recent release.
10650  * cordxtra.c needed to call GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER instead of
10651  GC_register_finalizer, so that it would continue to work with GC_DEBUG.
10652  * allochblk sometimes cleared the wrong block for debugging purposes
10653  when it dropped blacklisted blocks.  This could result in spurious
10654  error reports with GC_DEBUG.
10655  * added MACOS X Server support (thanks to Andrew Stone).
10656  * Changed the Solaris threads code to ignore stack limits > 8 MB with
10657  a warning.  Empirically, it is not safe to access arbitrary pages
10658  in such large stacks.  And the dirty bit implementation does not
10659  guarantee that none of them will be accessed.
10660  * Integrated Martin Tauchmann's Amiga changes.
10661  * Integrated James Dominy's OpenBSD/SPARC port.
10662  
10663  
10664  == [4.14] 1999-04-16 ==
10665  
10666  * changed STACKBOTTOM for DJGPP (thanks to Salvador Eduardo Tropea).
10667  
10668  
10669  == [4.14alpha2] 1999-03-26 ==
10670  
10671  * -DSMALL_CONFIG did not work reliably with large (> 4K) pages.
10672  Recycling the mark stack during expansion could result in a size
10673  zero heap segment, which confused things.  (This was probably also an
10674  issue with the normal config and huge pages.)
10675  * Did more work to make sure that callee-save registers were scanned
10676  completely, even with the setjmp-based code.  Added USE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS
10677  macro to facilitate testing on machines I have access to.
10678  * Added code to explicitly push register contents for win32 threads.
10679  This seems to be necessary.  (Thanks to Pierre de Rop.)
10680  
10681  
10682  == [4.14alpha1] 1999-03-10 ==
10683  
10684  * Fixed GC_print_source_ptr to not use a prototype.
10685  * generalized CYGWIN test.
10686  * gc::new did the wrong thing with PointerFreeGC placement (thanks to
10687  Rauli Ruohonen).
10688  * In the ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (default) case, some callee-save register
10689  values could fail to be scanned if the register was saved and
10690  reused in a GC frame.  This showed up in verbose mode with gctest
10691  compiled with an unreleased SGI compiler.  I vaguely recall an old
10692  bug report that may have been related.  The bug was probably quite old.
10693  (The problem was that the stack scanning could be deferred until
10694  after the relevant frame was overwritten, and the new save location
10695  might be outside the scanned area.  Fixed by more eager stack scanning.)
10696  * PRINT_BLACK_LIST had some problems.  A few source addresses were garbage.
10697  * Replaced Makefile.dj and added -I flags to cord make targets (thanks to
10698  Gary Leavens).
10699  * GC_try_to_collect was broken with the non-incremental collector.
10700  * gc_cleanup destructors could pass the wrong address to
10701  GC_register_finalizer_ignore_self in the presence of multiple
10702  inheritance (thanks to Darrell Schiebel).
10703  * Changed PowerPC Linux stack finding code.
10704  
10705  
10706  == [4.13] 1999-02-19 ==
10707  
10708  * Fixed a crucial bug in the Watcom port.  There was a redundant declaration
10709  of GC_push_one in gc_priv.h.
10710  * Added FINALIZE_ON_DEMAND.
10711  * Fixed some pre-ANSI cc problems in test.c.
10712  * Removed getpagesize() use for Solaris.  It seems to be missing in one
10713  or two versions.
10714  * Fixed bool handling for SPARCCompiler version 4.2.
10715  * Fixed some files in include that had gotten unlinked from the main
10716  copy.
10717  * Some RS/6000 fixes (missing casts).  (Thanks to Toralf Foerster.)
10718  * Fixed several problems in GC_debug_realloc, affecting mostly the
10719  FIND_LEAK case.
10720  * GC_exclude_static_roots contained a buggy unsigned comparison to
10721  terminate a loop (thanks to Wilson Ho).
10722  * CORD_str failed if the substring occurred at the last possible position.
10723  (Only affects cord users.)
10724  * Fixed Linux code to deal with RedHat 5.0 and integrated Peter Bigot's
10725  os_dep.c code for dealing with various Linux versions.
10726  * Added workaround for Irix pthreads sigaction bug and possible signal
10727  misdirection problems.
10728  
10729  
10730  == [4.13alpha3] 1998-12-08 ==
10731  
10732  * Fixed MSWIN32 recognition test, which interfered with cygwin.
10733  * Removed unnecessary gc_watcom.asm from distribution.  Removed
10734  some obsolete README.win32 text.
10735  * Added Alpha Linux incremental GC support (thanks to Philipp Tomsich
10736  for code for retrieving the fault address in a signal handler).
10737  Changed Linux signal handler context argument to be a pointer.
10738  * Took care of some new warnings generated by the 7.3 SGI compiler.
10739  * Integrated Phillip Musumeci's FreeBSD/ELF fixes.
10740  * -DIRIX_THREADS was broken with the -o32 ABI (typo in gc_priv.h).
10741  
10742  
10743  == [4.13alpha2] 1998-08-08 ==
10744  
10745  * Fixed more Linux threads problems.
10746  * Changed default GC_free_space_divisor to 3 with new large block allocation
10747  (thanks to Matthew Flatt for some measurements that suggest the old
10748  value sometimes favors space too much over time).
10749  * More CYGWIN32 fixes.
10750  * Integrated Tyson Dowd's Linux-M68K port.
10751  * Minor HP PA and DEC UNIX fixes from Fergus Henderson.
10752  * Integrated Christoffe Raffali's Linux-SPARC changes.
10753  * Allowed for one more GC fixup iteration after a full GC in incremental
10754  mode.  Some quick measurements suggested that this significantly
10755  reduces pause times even with smaller GC_RATE values.
10756  * Moved some more GC data structures into GC_arrays.  This decreases
10757  pause times and GC overhead, but makes debugging slightly less convenient.
10758  * Fixed namespace pollution problem ("excl_table").
10759  * Made GC_incremental a constant for -DSMALL_CONFIG, hopefully shrinking
10760  that slightly.
10761  * Added some win32 threads fixes.
10762  * Integrated Ivan Demakov and David Stes' Watcom fixes.
10763  * Various other minor fixes contributed by many people.
10764  * Renamed config.h to gcconfig.h, since config.h tends to be used for
10765  many other things.
10766  * Integrated Matthew Flatt's support for 68K MacOS "far globals".
10767  * Fixed up some of the dynamic library Makefile targets for consistency
10768  across platforms.
10769  * Fixed a USE_MMAP typo that caused out-of-memory handling to fail
10770  on Solaris.
10771  * Added code to test.c to test thread creation a bit more.
10772  * Integrated GC_win32_free_heap (as suggested by Ivan Demakov).
10773  * Fixed Solaris 2.7 stack base finding problem.  (This may actually
10774  have been done in an earlier alpha release.)
10775  
10776  
10777  == [4.13alpha1] 1998-02-17 ==
10778  
10779  * Changed RS6000 STACKBOTTOM.
10780  * Integrated Patrick Beard's Mac changes.
10781  * Alpha1 didn't compile on Irix m.n, m < 6.
10782  * Replaced Makefile.dj with a new one from Gary Leavens.
10783  * Added Andrew Stitcher's changes to support SCO OpenServer.
10784  * Added PRINT_BLACK_LIST, to allow debugging of high densities of false
10785  pointers.
10786  * Added code to debug allocator to keep track of return address
10787  in GC_malloc caller, thus giving a bit more context.
10788  * Changed default behavior of large block allocator to more
10789  aggressively avoid fragmentation.  This is likely to slow down the
10790  collector when it succeeds at reducing space cost.
10791  * Integrated Fergus Henderson's CYGWIN32 changes.  They are untested,
10792  but needed for newer versions.
10793  * USE_MMAP had some serious bugs.  This caused the collector to fail
10794  consistently on Solaris with -DSMALL_CONFIG.
10795  * Added Linux threads support (thanks to Fergus Henderson).
10796  
10797  
10798  == [4.12] 1997-08-26 ==
10799  
10800  * Fixed ElfW definition in dyn_load.c.
10801  This prevented the dynamic library support from compiling on some
10802  older ELF Linux systems.
10803  * Fixed UTS4 port (which I apparently mangled during the integration).
10804  (Thanks to Alistair Crooks.)
10805  * "Make C++" failed on Suns with SC4.0, due to a problem with "bool".
10806  Fixed in gc_priv.h.
10807  * Added more pieces for GNU win32 (thanks to Timothy N. Newsham).
10808  The current state of things should suffice for at least some
10809  applications.
10810  * Changed the out of memory retry count handling.  (This matters only
10811  if GC_max_retries > 0, which is no longer the default.)
10812  * If a /proc read failed repeatedly, GC_written_pages was not updated
10813  correctly (thanks to Peter Chubb for diagnosing this).
10814  * Under unlikely circumstances, the allocator could infinite loop in
10815  an out of memory situation (thanks to Kenjiro Taura for
10816  identifying the problem and supplying a fix).
10817  * Fixed a syntactic error in the DJGPP code.  Also fixed a test program
10818  problem with DJGPP (thanks to Fergus Henderson and Peter Monks).
10819  * Atomic uncollectible objects were not treated correctly by the
10820  incremental collector.  This resulted in weird log statistics and
10821  occasional performance problems (thanks to Peter Chubb for pointing this out).
10822  * Fixed some problems resulting from compilers that don't define
10823  __STDC__.  In this case void * and char * were used inconsistently
10824  in some cases.  (Void * should not have been used at all.  If
10825  you have an ANSI superset compiler that does not define __STDC__,
10826  please compile with -D__STDC__=0.  Thanks to Manuel Serrano and others
10827  for pointing out the problem.)
10828  * Fixed a compilation problem on Irix with -n32 and -DIRIX_THREADS.
10829  Also fixed some other IRIX_THREADS problems which may or may not have
10830  had observable symptoms.
10831  * Fixed an HP PA compilation problem in dyn_load.c (thanks to
10832  Philippe Queinnec).
10833  * SEGV fault handlers sometimes did not get reset correctly (thanks
10834  to David Pickens).
10835  * Added a fix for SOLARIS_THREADS on Intel (thanks to David Pickens).
10836  This probably needs more work to become functional.
10837  * Fixed struct sigcontext_struct in os_dep.c for compilation under
10838  Linux 2.1.X (thanks to Fergus Henderson).
10839  * Changed the DJGPP STACKBOTTOM and DATASTART values to those ones suggested
10840  (by Kristian Kristensen).  These may still not be right, but it is
10841  it is likely to work more often than what was there before.  They may
10842  even be exactly right.
10843  * Added a #include <string.h> to test_cpp.cc.  This appears to help
10844  with HP/UX and gcc (thanks to Assar Westerlund).
10845  * Version 4.11 failed to run in incremental mode on recent 64-bit Irix
10846  kernels.  This was a problem related to page unaligned heap segments.
10847  Changed the code to page align heap sections on all platforms.
10848  (I had mistakenly identified this as a kernel problem earlier.
10849  It was not.)
10850  * Version 4.11 did not make allocated storage executable, except on
10851  one or two platforms, due to a bug in a #if test (thanks to David Grove
10852  for pointing this out).
10853  * Added sparc_sunos4_mach_dep.s to support Sun's compilers under SunOS4.
10854  * Added GC_exclude_static_roots.
10855  * Fixed the object size mapping algorithm.  This shouldn't matter,
10856  but the old code was ugly.
10857  * Heap checking code could die if one of the allocated objects was
10858  larger than its base address.  (Unsigned underflow problem.  Thanks
10859  to Clay Spence for isolating the problem.)
10860  * Added RS6000 (AIX) dynamic library support and fixed STACK_BOTTOM (thanks
10861  to Fred Stearns).
10862  * Added Fergus Henderson's patches for improved robustness with large
10863  heaps and lots of blacklisting.
10864  * Added Peter Chubb's changes to support Solaris Pthreads, to support
10865  MMAP allocation in Solaris, to allow Solaris to find dynamic libraries
10866  through /proc, to add malloc_typed_ignore_off_page, and a few other
10867  minor features and bug fixes.
10868  * The Solaris 2 port should not use sbrk.  I received confirmation from
10869  Sun that the use of sbrk and malloc in the same program is not
10870  supported.  The collector now defines USE_MMAP by default on Solaris.
10871  * Replaced the djgpp makefile with Gary Leavens' version.
10872  * Fixed MSWIN32 detection test.
10873  * Added Fergus Henderson's patches to allow putting the collector into
10874  a DLL under GNU win32.
10875  * Added Ivan V. Demakov's port to Watcom C on x86.
10876  * Added Ian Piumarta's Linux/PowerPC port.
10877  * Added PointerFreeGC to the placement options in gc_cpp.h (suggested by
10878  Brian Burton).  This is of course unsafe, and may be controversial.
10879  On the other hand, it seems to be needed often enough that it's worth
10880  adding as a standard facility.
10881  * Add Lars Farm's suggestions on building the collector for MacOS.
10882  
10883  
10884  == [4.12alpha2] ==
10885  
10886  (Changes not specified.)
10887  
10888  
10889  == [4.11] 1996-12-03 ==
10890  
10891  * Rationalized (hopefully) GC_try_to_collect in an incremental collection
10892  environment.  It appeared to not handle a call while a collection was in
10893  progress, and was otherwise too conservative.
10894  * Merged GC_reclaim_or_delete_all into GC_reclaim_all to get rid of some
10895  code.
10896  * Added Patrick Beard's Mac fixes, with substantial completely untested
10897  modifications.
10898  * Fixed the MPROTECT_VDB code to deal with large pages and imprecise
10899  fault addresses (as on an UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.5).  Note that this
10900  was not a problem in the default configuration, which uses PROC_VDB.
10901  * The DEC Alpha assembly code needed to restore $gp between calls (thanks to
10902  Fergus Henderson for tracking this down and supplying a patch).
10903  * The write command for "de" was completely broken for large files.
10904  I used the easiest portable fix, which involved changing the semantics
10905  so that f.new is written instead of overwriting f.  That's safer anyway.
10906  * Added README.solaris2 with a discussion of the possible problems of
10907  mixing the collector's sbrk allocation with malloc/realloc.
10908  * Changed the data segment starting address for SGI machines.  The
10909  old code failed under IRIX6.
10910  * Required double word alignment for MIPS.
10911  * Various minor fixes to remove warnings.
10912  * Attempted to fix some Solaris threads problems (reported by Zhiying Chen).
10913  In particular, the collector could try to fork a thread with the
10914  world stopped as part of GC_thr_init.  It also failed to deal with
10915  the case in which the original thread terminated before the whole
10916  process did.
10917  * Added -DNO_EXECUTE_PERMISSION.  This has a major performance impact
10918  on the incremental collector under Irix, and perhaps under other
10919  operating systems.
10920  * Added some code to support allocating the heap with mmap.  This may
10921  be preferable under some circumstances.
10922  * Integrated dynamic library support for HP (thanks to Knut Tvedten).
10923  * Integrated James Clark's win32 threads support, and made a number
10924  of changes to it (many of which suggested by Pontus Rydin).  This is still
10925  not 100% solid.
10926  * Integrated Alistair G. Crooks' support for UTS4 running on an Amdahl
10927  370-class machine.
10928  * Fixed a serious bug in explicitly typed allocation.  Objects requiring
10929  large descriptors where handled in a way that usually resulted in
10930  a segmentation fault in the marker (thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge
10931  for helping to track this down).
10932  * Added partial support for GNU win32 development (thanks to
10933  Fergus Henderson).
10934  * Added optional support for Java-style finalization semantics (thanks to
10935  Patrick Bridges).  This is recommended only for Java implementations.
10936  * GC_malloc_uncollectable faulted instead of returning 0 when out of
10937  memory (thanks to Daniel R. Grayson for noticing).
10938  * Calls to GC_base before the collector was initialized failed on a
10939  DEC Alpha (thanks to Matthew Flatt).
10940  * Added base pointer checking to GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER in debugging mode
10941  (thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
10942  * GC_debug_realloc failed for uncollectible objects (thanks to
10943  Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
10944  * Explicitly typed allocation could crash if it ran out of memory (thanks to
10945  Jeremy Fitzhardinge).
10946  * Added minimal support for a DEC Alpha running Linux.
10947  * Fixed a problem with allocation of objects whose size overflowed
10948  ptrdiff_t.  (This now fails unconditionally, as it should.)
10949  * Added the beginning of Irix pthread support.
10950  * Integrated Xiaokun Zhu's fixes for djgpp 2.01.
10951  * Added SGI-style STL allocator support (gc_alloc.h).
10952  * Fixed a serious bug in README.solaris2.
10953  Multi-threaded programs must include
10954  gc.h with SOLARIS_THREADS defined.
10955  * Changed GC_free so it actually deallocates uncollectible objects (thanks
10956  to Peter Chubb for pointing out the problem).
10957  * Added Linux ELF support for dynamic libraries (thanks to Patrick Bridges).
10958  * Changed the Borland cc configuration so that the assembler is not
10959  required.
10960  * Fixed a bug in the C++ test that caused it to fail in 64-bit
10961  environments.
10962  
10963  
10964  == [4.10t3] 1996-11-18 ==
10965  
10966  Some changes related to threads support.
10967  
10968  
10969  == [4.10] 1996-02-19 ==
10970  
10971  * Fixed a typo around a call to GC_collect_or_expand in alloc.c.  It broke
10972  handling of out of memory.  (Thanks to Patrick C. Beard for noticing.)
10973  
10974  
10975  == [4.9] 1996-02-12 ==
10976  
10977  * More README.debugging fixes.
10978  * Objects ready for finalization, but not finalized in the same GC
10979  cycle, could be prematurely collected.  This occasionally happened
10980  in test_cpp.
10981  * Too little memory was obtained from the system for very large
10982  objects.  That could cause a heap explosion if these objects were
10983  not contiguous (e.g. under PCR), and too much of them was blacklisted.
10984  * Due to an improper initialization, the collector was too hesitant to
10985  allocate blacklisted objects immediately after system startup.
10986  * Moved GC_arrays from the data into the bss segment by not explicitly
10987  initializing it to zero.  This significantly
10988  reduces the size of executables, and probably avoids some disk accesses
10989  on program startup.  It's conceivable that it might break a port that I
10990  didn't test.
10991  * Fixed EMX_MAKEFILE to reflect the gc_c++.h to gc_cpp.h renaming which
10992  occurred a while ago.
10993  
10994  
10995  == [4.8] 1995-11-20 ==
10996  
10997  * Changed a "comment" in a MacOS specific part of mach_dep.c that caused
10998  gcc to fail on other platforms.
10999  
11000  
11001  == [4.7] 1995-11-18 ==
11002  
11003  * Fixed some compilation problems with -DCHECKSUMS (thanks to Ian Searle).
11004  * Updated some Mac specific files (to synchronize with Patrick C. Beard).
11005  * Fixed a serious bug for machines with non-word-aligned pointers.
11006  (Thanks to Patrick C. Beard for pointing out the problem.  The collector
11007  should fail almost any conceivable test immediately on such machines.)
11008  
11009  
11010  == [4.6] 1995-11-09 ==
11011  
11012  * Added Linux ELF support (thanks to Arrigo Triulzi).
11013  * GC_base crashed if it was called before any other GC_ routines.
11014  This could happen if a gc_cleanup object was allocated outside the heap
11015  before any heap allocation.
11016  * The heap expansion heuristic was not stable if all objects had finalization
11017  enabled.  Fixed finalize.c to count memory in finalization queue and
11018  avoid explicit deallocation.  Changed alloc.c to also consider this count.
11019  (This is still not recommended.  It's expensive if nothing else.  Thanks
11020  to John Ellis for pointing this out.)
11021  * GC_malloc_uncollectable(0) was broken (thanks to Phong Vo for pointing
11022  this out).
11023  * The collector didn't compile under Linux 1.3.X (thanks to Fred Gilham for
11024  pointing this out).  The current workaround is ugly, but expected to be
11025  temporary.
11026  * Fixed a formatting problem for SPARC stack traces.
11027  * Fixed some '=='s in os_dep.c that should have been assignments.
11028  Fortunately these were in code that should never be executed anyway (thanks
11029  to Fergus Henderson).
11030  * Fixed the heap block allocator to only drop blacklisted blocks in small
11031  chunks.  Made BL_LIMIT self adjusting.  (Both of these were in response
11032  to heap growth observed by Paul Graham.)
11033  * Fixed the Metrowerks/68K Mac code to also mark from a6 (thanks to
11034  Patrick C. Beard).
11035  * Significantly updated README.debugging.
11036  * Fixed some problems with longjmps out of signal handlers, especially under
11037  Solaris.  Added a workaround for the fact that siglongjmp doesn't appear to
11038  do the right thing with -lthread under Solaris.
11039  * Added MSDOS/djgpp port (thanks to Mitch Harris).
11040  * Added "make reserved_namespace" and "make user_namespace".  The
11041  first renames ALL "GC_xxx" identifiers as "_GC_xxx".  The second is the
11042  inverse transformation.  Note that doing this is guaranteed to break all
11043  clients written for the other names.
11044  * descriptor field for kind NORMAL in GC_obj_kinds with ADD_BYTE_AT_END
11045  defined should be -ALIGNMENT not WORDS_TO_BYTES(-1).  This is
11046  a serious bug on machines with pointer alignment of less than a word.
11047  * GC_ignore_self_finalize_mark_proc didn't handle pointers to very near the
11048  end of the object correctly.  Caused failures of the C++ test on a DEC Alpha
11049  with g++.
11050  * gc_inl.h still had problems.  Partially fixed.  Added warnings at the
11051  beginning to hopefully specify the remaining dangers.
11052  * Added DATAEND definition to config.h.
11053  * Fixed some of the .h file organization.  Fixed "make floppy".
11054  
11055  
11056  == [4.5] 1995-06-14 ==
11057  
11058  * Fixed many minor and one major README bugs (thanks to Franklin Chen
11059  for pointing out many of them).
11060  * Fixed ALPHA/OSF/1 dynamic library support (thanks to Jonathan Bachrach).
11061  * Added incremental GC support (MPROTECT_VDB) for Linux (with some
11062  help from Bruno Haible).
11063  * Altered SPARC recognition tests in gc.h and config.h (mostly as
11064  suggested by Fergus Henderson).
11065  * Added basic incremental GC support for win32, as implemented by
11066  Windows NT and Windows 95.  GC_enable_incremental is a no-op
11067  under win32s, which doesn't implement enough of the VM interface.
11068  * Added -DLARGE_CONFIG.
11069  * Fixed GC_..._ignore_off_page to also function without
11070  -DALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
11071  * (Hopefully) fixed RS/6000 port.  (Only the test was broken.)
11072  * Fixed a performance bug in the non-incremental collector running
11073  on machines supporting incremental collection with MPROTECT_VDB
11074  (e.g. SunOS 4, DEC AXP).  This turned into a correctness bug under
11075  win32s with win32 incremental collection.  (Not all memory protection
11076  was disabled.)
11077  * Fixed some ppcr related bit rot.
11078  * Caused dynamic libraries to be unregistered before re-registering.
11079  The old way turned out to be a performance bug on some machines.
11080  * GC_root_size was not properly maintained under MSWIN32.
11081  * Added -DNO_DEBUGGING and GC_dump.
11082  * Fixed a couple of bugs arising with SOLARIS_THREADS +
11083  REDIRECT_MALLOC.
11084  * Added NetBSD/M68K port (thanks to Peter Seebach).
11085  * Fixed a serious realloc bug.  For certain object sizes, the collector
11086  wouldn't scan the expanded part of the object.  (Thanks to Clay Spence
11087  for noticing the problem, and helping me to track it down.)
11088  
11089  
11090  == [4.4] 1995-02-18 ==
11091  
11092  * ASM_CLEAR_CODE was erroneously defined for HP
11093  PA machines, resulting in a compile error.
11094  * Fixed OS/2 Makefile to create a library (thanks to Mark Boulter).
11095  * Gc_cleanup objects didn't work if they were created on
11096  the stack.  Fixed.
11097  * One copy of Gc_cpp.h in the distribution was out of
11098  synch, and failed to document some known compiler
11099  problems with explicit destructor invocation.  Partially
11100  fixed.  There are probably other compilers on which
11101  gc_cleanup is miscompiled.
11102  * Fixed Makefile to pass C compiler flags to C++ compiler.
11103  * Added Mac fixes.
11104  * Fixed os_dep.c to work around what appears to be
11105  a new and different VirtualQuery bug under newer
11106  versions of win32s.
11107  * GC_non_gc_bytes was not correctly maintained by
11108  GC_free.  Fixed (thanks to James Clark).
11109  * Added GC_set_max_heap_size.
11110  * Changed allocation code to ignore blacklisting if it is preventing
11111  use of a very large block of memory.  This has the advantage
11112  that naive code allocating very large objects is much more
11113  likely to work.  The downside is you might no
11114  longer find out that such code should really use
11115  GC_malloc_ignore_off_page.
11116  * Changed GC_printf under win32 to close and reopen the file
11117  between calls.  FAT file systems otherwise make the log file
11118  useless for debugging.
11119  * Added GC_try_to_collect and GC_get_bytes_since_gc.  These
11120  allow starting an abortable collection during idle times.
11121  This facility does not require special OS support.  (Thanks to
11122  Michael Spertus of Geodesic Systems for suggesting this.  It was
11123  actually an easy addition.  Kumar Srikantan previously added a similar
11124  facility to a now ancient version of the collector.  At the time
11125  this was much harder, and the result was less convincing.)
11126  * Added some support for the Borland development environment (thanks
11127  to John Ellis and Michael Spertus).
11128  * Removed a misfeature from checksums.c that caused unexpected
11129  heap growth (thanks to Scott Schwartz).
11130  * Changed finalize.c to call WARN if it encounters a finalization cycle.
11131  WARN is defined in gc_priv.h to write a message, usually to stdout.
11132  In many environments, this may be inappropriate.
11133  * Renamed NO_PARAMS in gc.h to GC_NO_PARAMS, thus adhering to my own
11134  naming convention.
11135  * Added GC_set_warn_proc to intercept warnings.
11136  * Fixed Amiga port (thanks to Michel Schinz).
11137  * Fixed a bug in mark.c that could result in an access to unmapped
11138  memory from GC_mark_from_mark_stack on machines with unaligned
11139  pointers.
11140  * Fixed a win32 specific performance bug that could result in scanning of
11141  objects allocated with the system malloc.
11142  * Added REDIRECT_MALLOC.
11143  
11144  
11145  == [4.3] 1994-12-23 ==
11146  
11147  * Fixed SPARC alignment problem with GC_DEBUG.
11148  * Fixed Solaris threads /proc workaround.  The real
11149  problem was an interaction with mprotect.
11150  * Incorporated fix from Patrick Beard for gc_c++.h (now gc_cpp.h).
11151  * Slightly improved allocator space utilization by
11152  fixing the GC_size_map mechanism.
11153  * Integrated some Sony News and MIPS RISCos 4.51
11154  patches (thanks to Nobuyuki Hikichi at Software Research Associates,
11155  Inc., Japan).
11156  * Fixed HP_PA alignment problem (thanks to Brian F. Dennis).
11157  * Added GC_same_obj and friends.  Changed GC_base
11158  to return 0 for pointers past the end of large objects.
11159  Improved GC_base performance with ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS
11160  on machines with a slow integer mod operation.
11161  Added GC_PTR_ADD, GC_PTR_STORE, etc. to prepare
11162  for preprocessor.
11163  * changed the default on most UNIX machines to be that
11164  signals are not disabled during critical GC operations.
11165  This is still ANSI-conforming, though somewhat dangerous
11166  in the presence of signal handlers. But the performance
11167  cost of the alternative is sometimes problematic.
11168  Can be changed back with a minor Makefile edit.
11169  * renamed IS_STRING in gc.h, to CORD_IS_STRING, thus
11170  following my own naming convention.  Added the function
11171  CORD_to_const_char_star.
11172  * Fixed a gross bug in GC_finalize.  Symptom: occasional
11173  address faults in that function (thanks to Anselm Baird-Smith).
11174  * Added port to ICL DRS6000 running DRS/NX.  Restructured
11175  things a bit to factor out common code, and remove obsolete
11176  code.  Collector should now run under SUNOS5 with either
11177  mprotect or /proc dirty bits.  (Thanks to Douglas Steel.)
11178  * More bug fixes and workarounds for Solaris 2.X.  (These were
11179  mostly related to putting the collector in a dynamic library,
11180  which didn't really work before.  Also SOLARIS_THREADS
11181  didn't interact well with dl_open.) (Thanks to Brian Lewis.)
11182  * Fixed a serious performance bug on the DEC Alpha.  The text
11183  segment was getting registered as part of the root set.
11184  (Amazingly, the result was still fast enough that the bug
11185  was not conspicuous.) The fix works on OSF/1, version 1.3.
11186  Hopefully it also works on other versions of OSF/1 ...
11187  * Fixed a bug in GC_clear_roots.
11188  * Fixed a bug in GC_generic_malloc_words_small that broke
11189  gc_inl.h (reported by Antoine de Maricourt).
11190  * Fixed some problems with cord/de under Linux.
11191  * Fixed some cord problems, notably with CORD_riter4.
11192  * Added DG/UX port (thanks to Ben A. Mesander).
11193  * Added finalization registration routines with weaker ordering
11194  constraints.  (This is necessary for C++ finalization with
11195  multiple inheritance, since the compiler often adds self-cycles.)
11196  * Filled the holes in the SCO port (thanks to Michael Arnoldus).
11197  * Completely rewritten the documentation in the interface gc_c++.h
11198  (later renamed gc_cpp.h) making it both clearer and more precise (done by
11199  John Ellis).
11200  * The definition of accessibility now ignores pointers from a finalizable
11201  object (an object with a clean-up function) to itself (done by John Ellis).
11202  This allows objects with virtual base classes to be finalizable by the
11203  collector.  Compilers typically implement virtual base classes using
11204  pointers from an object to itself, which under the old definition of
11205  accessibility prevented objects with virtual base classes from ever
11206  being collected or finalized.
11207  * gc_cleanup now includes gc as a virtual base.  This was enabled by
11208  the change in the definition of accessibility (by John Ellis).
11209  * Added support for operator new[] (by John Ellis).  Since most compilers
11210  don't yet support operator new[], it is conditionalized on
11211  -DOPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY.  The code is untested, but it's trivial and looks
11212  correct.
11213  * The test program test_gc_c++ (later renamed test_cpp.cc)
11214  tries to test for the C++-specific functionality not tested by the
11215  other programs.
11216  * Added unistd.h include to misc.c.  (Needed for ppcr.)
11217  * Added PowerMac port (thanks to Patrick C. Beard).
11218  * Fixed "srcdir"-related Makefile problems.  Changed things so
11219  that all externally visible include files always appear in the
11220  include subdirectory of the source.  Made gc.h directly
11221  includable from C++ code (thanks to Per Bothner).
11222  * Changed Intel code to also mark from ebp (thanks to Kevin Warne).
11223  * Renamed C++ related files so they could live in a FAT
11224  file system (thanks to Charles Fiterman).
11225  * Changed Windows NT Makefile to include C++ support in
11226  gc.lib.  Added C++ test as Makefile target.
11227  
11228  
11229  == [4.2] 1994-08-03 ==
11230  
11231  * Multiple bug fixes/workarounds in the Solaris threads version.
11232  (It occasionally failed to locate some register contents for
11233  marking.  It also turns out that thr_suspend and friends are
11234  unreliable in Solaris 2.3.  Dirty bit reads appear
11235  to be unreliable under some weird
11236  circumstances.  My stack marking code
11237  contained a serious performance bug.  The new code is
11238  extremely defensive, and has not failed in several CPU
11239  hours of testing.  But no guarantees ...)
11240  * Added MacOS support.  (Thanks to Patrick C. Beard.
11241  David Chase suggested several improvements.)
11242  * Fixed several syntactic bugs in gc_c++.h and friends.  (These
11243  didn't bother g++, but did bother most other compilers.)
11244  Fixed gc_c++.h finalization interface.
11245  * 64 bit alignment for allocated objects was not guaranteed in a
11246  few cases in which it should have been.
11247  * Added GC_malloc_atomic_ignore_off_page.
11248  * Added GC_collect_a_little.
11249  * Added some prototypes to gc.h.
11250  * Some other minor bug fixes (notably in Makefile).
11251  * Fixed OS/2 / EMX port (thanks to Ari Huttunen).
11252  * Fixed AmigaDOS port (thanks to Michel Schinz).
11253  * Fixed the DATASTART definition under Solaris.  There
11254  was a 1 in 16K chance of the collector missing the first
11255  64K of static data (and thus crashing).
11256  * Fixed some blatant anachronisms in the README file.
11257  * Fixed PCR-Makefile for upcoming PPCR release.
11258  
11259  
11260  == [4.1] 1994-05-20 ==
11261  
11262  * Changed finalization implementation to guarantee that
11263  finalization procedures are called outside of the allocation
11264  lock, making direct use of the interface a little less dangerous.
11265  MAY BREAK EXISTING CLIENTS that assume finalizers
11266  are protected by a lock.  Since there seem to be few multi-threaded
11267  clients that use finalization, this is hopefully not much of
11268  a problem.
11269  * Fixed a gross bug in CORD_prev.
11270  * Fixed a bug in blacklst.c that could result in unbounded
11271  heap growth during startup on machines that do not clear
11272  memory obtained from the OS (e.g. win32s).
11273  * Ported de editor to Win32 and win32s.  (This is now the only
11274  version with a mouse-sensitive UI.  Thanks to Rob Haack for the
11275  implementation based on the generic Windows application template.)
11276  * Added GC_malloc_ignore_off_page to allocate large arrays
11277  in the presence of ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
11278  * Changed GC_call_with_alloc_lock to not disable signals in
11279  the single-threaded case.
11280  * Reduced retry count in GC_collect_or_expand for garbage
11281  collecting when out of memory.
11282  * Made uncollectible allocations bypass black-listing, as they
11283  should.
11284  * Fixed a bug in typed_test in test.c that could cause (legitimate)
11285  GC crashes.
11286  * Fixed some potential synchronization problems in finalize.c
11287  * Fixed a real locking problem in typd_mlc.c.
11288  * Worked around an AIX 3.2 compiler feature that results in
11289  out of bounds memory references.
11290  * Partially worked around an IRIX5.2 beta problem (which may
11291  or may not persist to the final release).
11292  * Fixed a bug in the heap integrity checking code that could
11293  result in explicitly deallocated objects being identified as
11294  smashed.  Fixed a bug in the dbg_mlc stack saving code
11295  that caused old argument pointers to be considered live.
11296  * Fixed a bug in CORD_ncmp (and hence CORD_str).
11297  * Repaired the OS2 port, which had suffered from bit rot
11298  in 4.0.  Worked around what appears to be CSet/2 V1.0
11299  optimizer bug.
11300  * Fixed a Makefile bug for target "c++".
11301  
11302  
11303  == [4.0] 1994-04-07 ==
11304  
11305  * Added support for Solaris threads (which was possible
11306  only by reimplementing some fraction of Solaris threads,
11307  since Sun doesn't currently make the thread debugging
11308  interface available).
11309  * Added non-threads Win32 and win32s support.
11310  * (Grudgingly, with suitable muttering of obscenities) renamed
11311  files so that the collector distribution could live on a FAT
11312  file system.  Files that are guaranteed to be useless on
11313  a PC still have long names.  Gc_inline.h and gc_private.h
11314  still exist, but now just include  gc_inl.h and gc_priv.h.
11315  * Fixed a really obscure bug in finalization that could cause
11316  undetected mark stack overflows.  (I would be surprised if
11317  any real code ever tickled this one.)
11318  * Changed finalization code to dynamically resize the hash
11319  tables it maintains.  (This probably does not matter for well-
11320  -written code.  It no doubt does for C++ code that overuses
11321  destructors.)
11322  * Added typed allocation primitives.  Rewrote the marker to
11323  accommodate them with more reasonable efficiency.  This
11324  change should also speed up marking for GC_malloc allocated
11325  objects a little.  See gc_typed.h for new primitives.  (Thanks to
11326  Zhong Shao performed much of the experimentation that led to the
11327  current typed allocation facility.)
11328  * Improved debugging facilities slightly.  Allocation time
11329  stack traces are now kept by default on SPARC/SUNOS4.  (Thanks to
11330  Scott Schwartz.)
11331  * Added better support for small heap applications.
11332  * Significantly extended cord package.  Fixed a bug in the
11333  implementation of lazily read files.  Printf and friends now
11334  have cord variants.  Cord traversals are a bit faster.
11335  * Made ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS recognition the default.
11336  * Fixed de so that it can run in constant space, independent
11337  of file size.  Added simple string searching to cords and de.
11338  * Added the Hull-Ellis C++ interface (supplied by Jesse Hull and John Ellis).
11339  * Added dynamic library support for OSF/1 (thanks to Alan Dosser and
11340  Tim Bingham at DEC).
11341  * Changed argument to GC_expand_hp to be expressed
11342  in units of bytes instead of heap blocks.  (Necessary
11343  since the heap block size now varies depending on
11344  configuration.  The old version was never very clean.)
11345  * Added GC_get_heap_size().  The previous "equivalent"
11346  was broken.
11347  * Restructured the Makefile a bit.
11348  * Added FreeBSD port (provided by Jeffrey Hsu).
11349  
11350  
11351  == [3.7] 1994-03-15 ==
11352  
11353  * Added a workaround for an HP/UX compiler bug.
11354  * Fixed another stack clearing performance bug.  Reworked
11355  that code once more.
11356  
11357  
11358  == [3.6] 1994-01-14 ==
11359  
11360  * fixed a bug in the mark stack growth code that was introduced
11361  in 3.4.
11362  * fixed Makefile to work around DEC AXP compiler tail recursion
11363  bug.
11364  
11365  
11366  == [3.5] ==
11367  
11368  * Minor collections now mark from roots only once, if that
11369  doesn't cause an excessive pause.
11370  * The stack clearing heuristic was refined to prevent anomalies
11371  with very heavily recursive programs and sparse stacks.
11372  * Fixed a bug that prevented mark stack growth in some cases.
11373  GC_objects_are_marked should be set to TRUE after a call
11374  to GC_push_roots and as part of GC_push_marked, since
11375  both can now set mark bits.  I think this is only a performance
11376  bug, but I wouldn't bet on it.  It's certainly very hard to argue
11377  that the old version was correct.
11378  * Fixed an incremental collection bug that prevented it from
11379  working at all when HBLKSIZE != getpagesize()
11380  * Changed dynamic_loading.c to include gc_priv.h before testing
11381  DYNAMIC_LOADING.  SunOS dynamic library scanning
11382  must have been broken in 3.4.
11383  * Object size rounding now adapts to program behavior.
11384  * Added a workaround (provided by Manuel Serrano and
11385  colleagues) to a long-standing SunOS 4.X (and 3.X) ld bug
11386  that I had incorrectly assumed to have been squished.
11387  The collector was broken if the text segment size was within
11388  32 bytes of a multiple of 8K bytes, and if the beginning of
11389  the data segment contained interesting roots.  The workaround
11390  assumes a demand-loadable executable.  The original may have
11391  have "worked" in some other cases.
11392  * Added dynamic library support under IRIX5.
11393  * Added support for EMX under OS/2 (thanks to Ari Huttunen).
11394  * Added support of Motorola 88K processor running CX/UX (by Brent Benson).
11395  
11396  
11397  == [3.4] ==
11398  
11399  * Fixed a performance bug in GC_realloc.
11400  * Updated the amiga port.
11401  * Added NetBSD and 386BSD ports (supplied by Alistair G. Crooks).
11402  * Added cord library.
11403  * Added trivial performance enhancement for
11404  ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS (do not scan last word).
11405  
11406  
11407  == [3.3] 1993-10-02 ==
11408  
11409  * PCR-specific bugs (thanks to Neil Sharman).
11410  * Missing locking in GC_free, redundant FASTUNLOCK
11411  in GC_malloc_stubborn, and 2 bugs in
11412  GC_unregister_disappearing_link (pointed out by Neil Sharman).
11413  * Common symbols allocated by the SunOS4.X dynamic loader
11414  were not included in the root set.
11415  * Bug in GC_finalize (reported by Brian Beuning and Alan Dosser).
11416  * Merged Amiga port from Jesper Peterson (untested).
11417  * Merged NeXT port from Thomas Funke (significantly
11418  modified and untested).  (Also thanks to Brian D. Carlstrom for
11419  the supplied the NeXT ports.)
11420  
11421  
11422  == [3.2] ==
11423  
11424  Fixed a serious and not entirely repeatable bug in
11425  the incremental collector.  It appeared only when dirty bit info
11426  on the roots was available, which is normally only under Solaris.
11427  It also added GC_general_register_disappearing_link, and some
11428  testing code.  Interface.c disappeared.
11429  
11430  
11431  == [3.1] ==
11432  
11433  * A workaround for a SunOS 4.X SPARC C compiler
11434  misfeature that caused problems when the collector was turned into
11435  a dynamic library.
11436  * A fix for a bug in GC_base that could result in a memory fault.
11437  * A fix for a performance bug (and several other misfeatures) pointed
11438  out by Dave Detlefs and Alan Dosser.
11439  * Use of dirty bit information for static data under Solaris 2.X.
11440  * DEC Alpha/OSF1 support (thanks to Alan Dosser).
11441  * Incremental collection on more platforms.
11442  * A more refined heap expansion policy.  Less space usage by default.
11443  * Various minor enhancements to reduce space usage, and to reduce
11444  the amount of memory scanned by the collector.
11445  * Uncollectible allocation without per object overhead.
11446  * More conscientious handling of out-of-memory conditions.
11447  * Fixed a bug in debugging stubborn allocation.
11448  * Fixed a bug that resulted in occasional erroneous reporting of smashed
11449  objects with debugging allocation.
11450  * Fixed bogus leak reports of size 4096 blocks with FIND_LEAK.
11451  
11452  
11453  == [3.0] ==
11454  
11455  Added generational/incremental collection and stubborn objects.
11456  
11457  
11458  == [2.6] 1993-04-27 ==
11459  
11460  (Changes not specified.)
11461  
11462  
11463  == [2.5] ==
11464  
11465  * Removed an explicit call to exit(1)
11466  * Fixed calls to GC_printf and GC_err_printf, so the correct number of
11467  arguments are always supplied.  The OS/2 C compiler gets confused if
11468  the number of actuals and the number of formals differ.  (ANSI C
11469  doesn't require this to work.  The ANSI sanctioned way of doing things
11470  causes too many compatibility problems.)
11471  
11472  
11473  == [2.4] 1993-01-26 ==
11474  
11475  Added GC_free_space_divisor as a tuning knob, added
11476  support for OS/2 and linux, and fixed the following bugs:
11477  * On machines with unaligned pointers (e.g. Sun 3), every 128th word could
11478  fail to be considered for marking.
11479  * Dynamic_load.c erroneously added 4 bytes to the length of the data and
11480  bss sections of the dynamic library.  This could result in a bad memory
11481  reference if the actual length was a multiple of a page.  (Observed on
11482  Sun 3.  Can probably also happen on a Sun 4.)
11483  (Thanks to Robert Brazile for pointing out that the Sun 3 version
11484  was broken.  Dynamic library handling is still broken on Sun 3s
11485  under 4.1.1U1, but apparently not 4.1.1.  If you have such a machine,
11486  use -Bstatic.)
11487  
11488  
11489  == [2.3] ==
11490  
11491  * Added ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS.
11492  * Missing declaration of etext in the A/UX version.
11493  * Some PCR root-finding problems.
11494  * Blacklisting was not 100% effective, because the plausible future
11495  heap bounds were being miscalculated.
11496  * GC_realloc didn't handle out-of-memory correctly.
11497  * GC_base could return a nonzero value for addresses inside free blocks.
11498  * test.c wasn't really thread safe, and could erroneously report failure
11499  in a multi-threaded environment.  (The locking primitives need to be
11500  replaced for other threads packages.)
11501  * GC_CONS was thoroughly broken.
11502  * On a SPARC with dynamic linking, signals stayed disabled while the
11503  client code was running (thanks to Manuel Serrano).
11504  
11505  
11506  == [2.2] ==
11507  
11508  * GC_realloc could fail to extend the size of the object for certain large
11509  object sizes.
11510  * A blatant subscript range error in GC_printf, which unfortunately
11511  wasn't exercised on machines with sufficient stack alignment constraints.
11512  * GC_register_displacement did the wrong thing if it was called after
11513  any allocation had taken place.
11514  * The leak finding code would eventually break after 2048 byte
11515  byte objects leaked.
11516  * interface.c didn't compile.
11517  * The heap size remained much too small for large stacks.
11518  * The stack clearing code behaved badly for large stacks, and perhaps
11519  on HP/PA machines.
11520  
11521  
11522  == [2.1] ==
11523  
11524  * The first stable version since 1.9.
11525  * Added support for PPCR.
11526  
11527  
11528  == [2.0] ==
11529  
11530  * Introduced a consistent naming convention for collector
11531  routines and added support for registering dynamic library data segments
11532  in the standard mark_roots.c (original code supporting the SunOS dynamic
11533  loader provided by Bill Janssen).  Most of the data structures were revamped.
11534  The treatment of interior pointers was completely changed.  Finalization
11535  was added.  Support for locking was added.  Object kinds were added.
11536  We added a black listing facility to avoid allocating at addresses known
11537  to occur as integers somewhere in the address space.  Much of this
11538  was accomplished by adapting ideas and code from the PCR collector.
11539  The test program was changed and expanded.
11540  
11541  
11542  == [1.9] 1992-01-29 ==
11543  
11544  * fixed a major bug in gc_realloc.
11545  
11546  
11547  == [1.8] ==
11548  
11549  * added ULTRIX support in gc_private.h.  (Robert Brazile originally supplied
11550  the ULTRIX code.  Alan Dosser and Regis Cridlig subsequently provided updates
11551  and information on variation between ULTRIX systems.)
11552  
11553  
11554  == [1.5] ==
11555  
11556  * ensure 8 byte alignment for objects allocated on a sparc based machine.
11557  
11558  
11559  == [1.4] ==
11560  
11561  * Does not use compile time determined values
11562  for the stack base.  This no longer works on Sun 3s, since Sun 3/80s use
11563  a different stack base.  We now use a straightforward heuristic on all
11564  machines on which it is known to work (incl. Sun 3s) and compile-time
11565  determined values for the rest.  There should really be library calls
11566  to determine such values.
11567  
11568  
11569  == [1.3] ==
11570  
11571  * Fixed spurious
11572  assembly language assignments to TMP_SP.  Only the assignment in the PC/RT
11573  code is necessary.  On other machines, with certain compiler options,
11574  the assignments can lead to an unsaved register being overwritten.
11575  Known to cause problems under SunOS 3.5 WITHOUT the -O option.  (With
11576  -O the compiler recognizes it as dead code.  It probably shouldn't,
11577  but that's another story.)
11578  The SPARC-specific code was originally contributed by Mark Weiser.
11579  The Encore Multimax modifications were supplied by Kevin Kenny.
11580  The adaptation to the IBM PC/RT is largely
11581  due to Vernon Lee, on machines made available to Rice by IBM.
11582  Much of the HP specific code and a number of good suggestions for improving
11583  the generic code are due to Walter Underwood.
11584  Parag Patel supplied the A/UX code.
11585  Manuel Serrano supplied linux and Sony News specific code.
