Subject: Potential cleanup work post-1.1.9
Date: Sat, 2 May 2015 18:48:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150502224818.GA22532@brightrain.aerifal.cx> (raw)
Just some ideas to jot down somewhere public:
- Changing pthread_cancel signal handler to use mcontext_t members by
name (with the name provided by pthread_arch.h) instead of offset
macros and a fake overlaid array.
- Re-unifying x86_64 and x32 sigsetjmp.s by moving both saved values
to after the signal mask.
- Providing inline atomics instead of runtime-switched for sh4a.
- Cleaning out cruft from struct __pthread, possibly condensing
multiple locks, packing small/boolean values into chars or
bitfields, etc.
- Evaluating whether it still makes sense to have struct __libc, or
all the members in it.
- Eliminating float code in malloc on soft-float archs.
- Deduplicating atomic.h emulations of a_* in terms of a_cas, so that
archs where everything is emulated in terms of a_cas can just define
a_cas (much like how syscall.h and syscall_arch.h work now).
- Default atomics implementation for new archs to use (at least
initially) based on __sync_* builtins.
- Bits deduplication.
- Possibly eliminating preference of globals over TLS, at least when
it uglifies/enlarges/complexifies the code, for example use of
libc.threads_minus_1 to determine whether to skip locks and
libc.uselocale_cnt (instead of __pthread_self()->locale) in the
CURRENT_LOCALE macro.
