2012-11-11debloat src/thread tree but putting lots of junk in one fileRich Felker-10/+0
POSIX includes mostly-useless attribute-get functions for each attribute-set function, presumably out of some object-oriented dogmatism. the get functions are not useful with the simple idiomatic usage of attributes. there are of course possible valid uses of them (like writing wrappers for pthread init functions that perform special actions on the presence of certain attributes), but considering how tiny these functions are anyway, little is lost by putting them all in one file, and some build-time cost and archive-file-size benefits are achieved.
2012-09-06use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker-1/+1
to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99 compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form [restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.
2012-06-09add pthread_attr_setstack interface (and get)Rich Felker-0/+10
i originally omitted these (optional, per POSIX) interfaces because i considered them backwards implementation details. however, someone later brought to my attention a fairly legitimate use case: allocating thread stacks in memory that's setup for sharing and/or fast transfer between CPU and GPU so that the thread can move data to a GPU directly from automatic-storage buffers without having to go through additional buffer copies. perhaps there are other situations in which these interfaces are useful too.
