Changes with APR 0.9.2
*) Add DougM's apr_rename.pl script into helpers, and update for the new
batch of updates [Thom May]
*) Renames done (deprecated functions wrapped):
apr_filename_of_pathname -> apr_filepath_name_get
apr_get_groupid -> apr_gid_get
apr_get_groupname -> apr_gid_name_get
apr_compare_groups -> apr_gid_compare
apr_parse_addr_port -> apr_port_addr_parse
apr_shutdown -> apr_socket_shutdown
apr_bind -> apr_socket_bind
apr_listen -> apr_socket_listen
apr_accept -> apr_socket_accept
apr_connect -> apr_socket_connect
apr_send -> apr_socket_send
apr_sendv -> apr_socket_sendv
apr_sendto -> apr_socket_sendto
apr_implode_gmt -> apr_time_exp_gmt_get
apr_get_home_directory -> apr_uid_homepath_get
apr_get_userid -> apr_uid_get
apr_current_userid -> apr_uid_current
apr_compare_users -> apr_uid_compare
apr_get_username -> apr_uid_name_get
apr_recvfrom -> apr_socket_recvfrom
apr_sendfile -> apr_socket_sendfile
apr_recv -> apr_socket_recv
[Thom May]
*) Add APR_IPV6_V6ONLY socket option. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Update timeout algorithm in free_proc_chain. If a subprocess
did not exit immediately, the thread would sleep for 3 seconds
before checking the subprocess exit status again. In a very
common case when the subprocess was an HTTP server CGI script,
the CGI script actually exited a fraction of a second into the 3
second sleep, which effectively limited the server to serving one
CGI request every 3 seconds across a persistent connection.
[Bill Stoddard, [email protected]]
*) Update doxygen tags. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) NetWare: implemented a file IO path context scheme to directly
reference directory paths and files in the file system rather
than having to traverse the file system on every stat() or
open() call. (Performance enhancement) [Brad Nicholes]
*) ReliantUnix: recognize that dlsym() is in libdl and dlopen() is in
libc. The check is generic so maybe this fixes some other system.
PR 14189 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: Fix APR_APPEND file i/o. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Fix a problem retrieving the remote socket address for sockets
created via apr_os_sock_put() or apr_os_sock_make(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add recognition of and socket API support for the SCTP protocol.
[Randall Stewart <[email protected]>]
*) Win32: apr_shutdown was not honoring apr_shutdown_how_e and
always shutting down the socket for read. This could result
in Apache HTTPD 2.0 clients getting early connection closures
because lingering_close() was broken. [Bill Stoddard, Allan Edwards]
*) Add apr_atomic_casptr() to support atomic compare-and-swap
of pointers [Brian Pane]
*) Add apr_socket_create_ex() to allow protocol to be specified for the
socket. With APR 1.0, this function will be removed and apr_socket_create()
will have the additional parameter.
[Randall Stewart <[email protected]>]
*) Fix the detection of INT64_C() when defined in <stdint.h>.
[Joe Orton <[email protected]>]
*) Don't use whitespace before preprocessor directives in the configure
logic. Such whitespace breaks with some older preprocessors; a
particularly nasty break occurs on Tru64 4.0f where APR_CHECK_DEFINE
will always succeed. [Joe Orton <[email protected]>]
*) Add APR_IPV4_ADDR_OK flag to apr_sockaddr_info_get() to allow
apps to avoid lookup of IPv6 address if IPv4 address is sufficient.
(New APR_IPV6_ADDR_OK flag is similar.) [Jeff Trawick]
*) Disable IPv6 support on Darwin. The current IPv6 support has a
problem in getnameinfo() which breaks certain applications.
[Sander Temme <[email protected]>, Jeff Trawick]
*) Support for SCO OpenServer Release 5 [Kean Johnston <[email protected]>]
*) Faster (inline and mutex-free) implementations of all apr_atomic
operations for Linux/x86 (requires a 486 or later; to enable,
configure APR with --enable-nonportable-atomics=yes ) [Brian Pane]
*) Add --bindir option to apr-config. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Begin to rehash the test suite. There is now a new test program called
testall. This program currently runs testtime and teststr with the
CuTest framework. The stand-alone programs for testtime and teststr
can be built, but only if a special flag is specified when building.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Fix a broken check for a failure to read from the random device file.
PR 12615 [[email protected]]
*) Print informative link errors on Darwin. [Justin Erenkrantz]
Changes with APR 0.9.1
*) Fixed usage of alloca in apr_poll() on Tru64
[Dave Hill <[email protected]>]
*) Running "make check" in the toplevel directory or the test/ directory
will build and run all test programs. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Add apr_array_pop(). [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fixed the native SPARC v8plus version of apr_atomic_dec
to match the semantics of the default C version [Brian Pane]
Changes with APR 0.9.0
*) If the length argument to apr_snprintf is 0, then we should return the
length that the string would be if we actually were going to fill it out.
However, if the length argument is 0, we can also accept a NULL string.
Also, added a test case for this. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Printing a string with apr_snprintf can seg fault, if a precision is
specified for the string, and the string being printed doesn't have a
trailing '\0'. Fix that seg fault by not calling strlen if a precision
is specified when printing a string. Also add a test to the test suite
for this case.
[R Samuel Klatchko <[email protected]>]
*) handle leak related to threads on Windows2000/XP
[INOUE Seiichiro <[email protected]>]
*) Includes moved to INCLUDEDIR/apr-{major} (e.g. /usr/include/apr-0)
[Greg Stein]
*) libtool versioning is used to give the library sonames a real
value. The libraries will be libapr-{major}.so.0.{minor}.{patch}
[Greg Stein]
*) Fix apr_tokenize_to_argv() to remove the escape character
(backslash) from the argument tokens. PR 11793 [Paul J. Reder]
*) Add APR_PARSE_ARGUMENTS and APR_LAYOUT macros for better layout
support. [Thom May]
*) Add parallel-apr layout which utilizes the major version number in
directories and library names. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Add a version number to the library name (e.g. libapr-1.so) so
that apps can do things like: -lapr-1 or -lapr-2, depending on
which version they want to use and link against. [Greg Stein]
*) Add --version to apr-config so that apps can retrieve the version
information of the (installed) APR. [Greg Stein]
*) Remove the APRVARS system; apps should use apr-config. [Greg Stein]
*) EBCDIC: fix compile failure in strings/apr_strings.c in
httpd-2.0.40 with the following error message:
CANNOT COMPILE apr_strtoi64(), only ASCII and EBCDIC supported
*) In apr_signal_thread() remove synchronous signals from the mask
passed to sigwait(). It is never valid for them to be there.
Some platforms silently ignore them, some return EINVAL, some
don't process it as desired. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Change config.nice generation to always expand variables.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Renamed apr_strtoll()/apr_atoll() to follow int64 convention,
so these new helpers are apr_strtoi64/apr_atoi64(), since
'll' (long long) is a nonportable and aspecific construct.
Used ac/m4 tests to choose the appropriate fn behind strtoi64.
[William Rowe]
*) don't perform a strlen on that name value without checking for NULL
first (in getopt)
[David Waite <[email protected]>, Ian Holsman]
*) Added apr_strtoll() and apr_atoll() to strings lib.
[Shantonu Sen <[email protected]>, Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Added a lightweight internal index to apr_table_t to speed up
table lookup operations [Brian Pane]
*) initalize handle members to invalid before calling createprocess
on win32 [Rob Saccoccio <[email protected]>]
*) Removed apr/i18n to apr-util/xlate for inclusion of apr-iconv
as required by missing libiconv. [William Rowe]
*) Removed apr/md5 and apr/uuid into apr-util/crypto. [William Rowe]
*) Add APR_BUFFERED support to apr_os_file_put(). [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix misinterpretation of timeout for select() on Win32/Netware.
Identified by [TANAKA Koichi <[email protected]>]
*) Re-write apr_poll() on Unix. This improves the performance by
giving the user back control over the memory in the pollset.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Added APR_LIMIT_NOFILE option to apr_procattr_limit_set() to
control the file descriptor limit on platforms that support
RLIMIT_NOFILE. [Brian Pane]
*) FreeBSD: change apr_sendfile to accomodate a 4.6 kernel patch.
[Greg Ames]
*) Faster code for the apr_table get/set functions [Brian Pane]
*) Fix the userid functions on Irix to handle the way that Irix
reports a failure from getpwnam_r(). PR 10095.
[Robert I. Cowles <[email protected]>, Jeff Trawick]
*) apr_table_do() and apr_table_vdo() now return an int rather than
void to indicate whether or not any of its iterations returned 0.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) Fix the definition of union semun so that it is valid on systems
where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). This resolves a hang on
HP-UX/Itanium.
[Madhusudan Mathihalli <[email protected]>]
*) Correct shared library support on Darwin to not fatally error out
when a shared library does not exist. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Added optimized atomic CAS support for Linux/x86 (available only
when APR is configured with --enable-nonportable-atomics=yes)
[Brian Pane]
*) Fix a compile error in the EGD support in rand.c on older Solaris
versions. PR 9976 [Jim Morris <[email protected]>]
*) Fixed apr_file_seek() to unset the eof_hit flag. [Stas Bekman]
*) Removed --disable-atomics flag and added --enable-nonportable-atomics,
thereby defaulting to portable binaries on those systems that could
be optimized at the expense of portability. PR: 9507 [Aaron Bannert]
*) Added 2 additional lock functions: apr_proc_mutex_name and
apr_proc_mutex_defname which returns the type name of the mutex
(eg: "sysvsem") as well as the default mutex type (APR_LOCK_DEFAULT).
Mostly useful under Unix were the locktypes are selectable.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Fixed apr_generate_random_bytes() for Win32 on Win NT or 9x by
dropping the 0x40 bit (CRYPT_SILENT) for earlier OS'es.
PR 9286 [William Rowe]
*) Added --with-devrandom=[DEV] configure flag which allows a particular
"/dev/random"-compatible device to be specified, overriding the
default search path (/dev/random then /dev/arandom then /dev/urandom).
Also, if --with-egd=<path> is specified, it now implies
--without-devrandom. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Darwin/Mac OS X: Don't leave zombie processes when the app calls
apr_signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN). This fixes a problem with Apache's
mod_cgid. PR 9168. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: Fix bug where apr_sendfile() was incorrectly returning
APR_SUCCESS on a TransmitFile call that was interrupted by
the client closing its end of the connection. Always call
GetOverlappedResults() to get results of async TransmitFile()
completion notification. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Renamed APR_XtOffset -> APR_OFFSET and APR_XtOffsetOf -> APR_OFFSETOF.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) Cygwin: the unix version of apr_file_open() must respect the
APR_BINARY flag if the underlying platform requires it (in
which case we assume O_BINARY is defined). PR 9185.
[Cliff Woolley]
*) Linux, AIX: Use crypt_r() instead of crypt() because the native
crypt() is not thread-safe. The misuse of crypt() led to
intermittent failures with Apache basic authentication when crypt
passwords were being used. [Jeff Trawick]
*) AIX: Global mutexes don't need an intraprocess mutex when SysV
sems are used for the crossprocess mutex.
Darwin: The same optimization was applied for Posix sems.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a problem with global mutexes on OS/390 when something other
than the default mechanism (SysV sem) was used. The mutexes didn't
necessarily block out other threads in the same process.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed apr_strfsize formatting of values over 1 gig
[Matsuzaki Yoshinobu <[email protected]>]
*) Renamed --disable-atomics as --disable-optimized-atomics,
since it doesn't really disable the atomics. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Converted apr_pcalloc to a macro [Brian Pane]
*) Fixed APR_STATUS_IS_ETIMEDOUT macro.
[Dagfinn Aarvaag <[email protected]>]
*) Add --disable-atomics switch to override our handcoded assembly
optimizations. Note that this has no effect if your operating
system has a userspace atomic interface. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Remove Linux atomic support since it does not have a usable
userspace atomic interface. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Don't require that the DNS can map 127.0.0.1 when checking for
the presence/usability of getnameinfo(). PR 7642. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Remove APR_WANT_SIGNAL from apr_want.h because code must include
apr_signal.h in order to get consistent definitions. [Roy Fielding]
*) Don't try to use /dev/zero and mmap on platforms that don't
support that (such as HP-UX). PR 8537. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Reduce the number of apr_sendfile calls on AIX and OS/390 by
remembering when the kernel tells us the next one will block.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Reduce the number of apr_sendfile calls on FreeBSD by remembering
when the kernel tells us the next one will block. [Greg Ames]
*) To support modules like PHP, which implement their own
loaded extensions, Darwin needs to place their public
symbols in the global table. [Marko Karppinen <[email protected]>,

*) Rename apr_get_groupname to apr_group_name_get.
[Thom May <[email protected]>]
*) Allow VPATH builds to properly build dependencies and switch to

*) AIX: Fix breakage with 64-bit builds on versions of AIX prior
to 5L. PR 7957 [Jeff Trawick]
*) On socket write functions (apr_sendfile, apr_send, apr_sendv),
added a select to wait for writability on the socket if the
previous write was incomplete. [Jeff Trawick, Brian Pane]
*) Deprecated the apr_lock.h API. Please see the following files
for the improved thread and process locking and signaling:
apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
apr_thread_cond.h, and apr_global_mutex.h. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Fix some daylight savings time breakage on (at least) AIX,
Solaris, and HP-UX. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Added support for Posix semaphores (sem_open, et.al.) for mutex
locking. We use named semaphores in this implementation. The
default priority is between pthread and sysvsem.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Get flock-based mutexes to work in apps like Apache. Use the
same permissions on flock- and fcntl-based mutexes as Apache
1.3. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix apr-config so that it will not attempt to cd to a non-existent
directory. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Change the ordering of the apr_lock implementation method to
better match what's done in Apache 1.3. The ordering is
now (highest to lowest): pthread -> sysvsem -> fcntl -> flock.
[Jim Jagielski]
*) Improve detection of the INT64_C macro to prevent problems
with HP-UX's ANSI C compiler. PR 8932. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Make sure gethostbyname() can handle 255.255.255.255 if we
are to trust it to handle numeric address strings in
apr_sockaddr_info_get(). This fixes a problem on HP-UX
which led to an assertion failure at Apache startup when
using vhosts. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Don't mask SIGUSR2 [Jin Hong <[email protected]>]
*) Load libraries if they not MH_BUNDLE, but if they are not, it
just attempts to link them as shared libs.
[Pier Fumagalli <[email protected]>]
*) apr_atomic_dec now returns a zero value if the value of
the atomic is zero, non-zero otherwise [Ian Holsman]
*) When opening a file, only create an internal thread mutex
if APR_XTHREAD is set. [Brian Pane]
*) Move the kill_conditions enum in apr_thread_proc.h into the
APR namespace. kill_after_timeout et al have been renamed
appropriately (e.g., APR_KILL_AFTER_TIMEOUT). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a segfault in apr_thread_rwlock_destroy() on Win32.
[INOUE Seiichiro <[email protected]>]
*) configure now checks to see if we can change DNS timeout values

*) Fix a bug in apr_file_seek() on Unix when using buffered
files. PR 10003 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Small table performance optimization: eliminate the
zero-fill of newly allocated elements when expanding
a table's size. [Brian Pane]
*) Allow APR to install its generated libtool(s) via the
--with-installbuilddir option (defaults to ${datadir}/build).
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) renames: apr_ansi_time_to_apr_time becomes apr_time_ansi_put
ap_exploded_time_t becomes apr_time_exp_t
[Thom May <[email protected]>]
*) Add the APR_FILE_NOCLEANUP flag to apr_file_open().
Adding the flag will prevent the file from being closed
when the pool passed in on apr_file_open() is destroyed.
This feature is useful when using apr_os_file_get|put()
to manage the apr_os_file_t in apr_file_t (ie, file handle
caching in the HTTP server) [Bill Stoddard]
*) Win32: Fix APR_XTHREAD problems in apr_file_read()
and apr_file_write(). Multiple threads were using the
same overlapped structure and io event handle created
in the open call, which could cause unpredictable
file i/o results. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Win32: apr_proc_mutex_trylock and apr_proc_mutex_lock were
incorrectly returning APR_BUSY if the lock was previously
held by a thread that exited before releasing the lock
(ie, if the process holding the lock segfaults). The MSDN
doc says when WaitForSingleObject returns WAIT_ABANDONED,
the calling thread takes ownership of the mutex, so these
two routines should return APR_SUCCESS in this case, not
APR_BUSY. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Added a new m4 function APR_EXPAND_VAR that will iteratively
interpolate the contents of a variable, such as $sysconfdir,
for use in a borne script. [Aaron Bannert]
*) apr-atomic support for old-sparc's and gas on solaris
[Dale Ghent <[email protected]>, jean-frederic clere, Ian Holsman]
*) Change apr_proc_detach to take a parameter that can enable/disable
automatic forking (aka, to "daemonize").
[Jos Backus <[email protected]>, Aaron Bannert]
*) Implement apr_global_lock_foo() on Win32
[Bill Stoddard]
*) Fix select() argument call when waiting for IO. PR 9674.
[David MacKenzie <[email protected]>]
*) Add a new lock API (apr_global_mutex_t) to provide guaranteed
cross-process AND cross-thread mutual exclusion. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Note: We are in the process of deprecating the apr_lock.h API.
The new and improved lock/synchronization APIs now reside
in apr_thread_mutex.h, apr_proc_mutex.h, apr_thread_rwlock.h,
and apr_thread_cond.h. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Enable autoconf 2.52{f,g} build support.
[Blair Zajac <[email protected]>]
*) Added new functions for atomic operations. These are experimental
at the moment, so use in apps is discouraged [Ian Holsman]
*) Correct serious problems with the Win32 apr_file_dup2
and apr_file_open_stdxxx() fns. [William Rowe]
*) Begin implementation of the WinCE port.
[Mladen Turk <[email protected]>]
*) Disable SHMEM_MMAP_ZERO on HPUX 11.x where it is not supported.
Use SHMEM_SHMGET_ANON instead. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Fix a few attempts to add to a void * ptr in the Unix shared
memory support code. PR #9710 Per Ekman [[email protected]]
*) In the Linux apr_sendfile(), fix the types of some parameters
to apr_send() and apr_recv(). Breakage was seen in 64-bit mode
on s/390. PR #9712 [[email protected]]
*) added APR_PROGRAM_ENV and APR_PROGRAM_PATH options for starting
processes via apr_proc_create() [Greg Stein]
*) Deprecated apr_pool_free_blocks_num_bytes() [Sander Striker]
*) Add --enable-pool-debug to make it easier for people to
enable pool debug mode. Removed the APR_POOL_DEBUG_VERBOSE
define that was previously being used. [Sander Striker]
*) Changed the apr_file_dup2() function prototype. It can only
take and reuse an apr_file_t*, and will no longer create one
if *new_file == NULL (use apr_file_dup() for that). [Aaron Bannert]
*) Implemented name-based shared memory on Unix. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Fix spelling mistakes in APRDesign.
[Blair Zajac <[email protected]>]
*) Ensure that apr_file_mktemp creates the temp file if it isn't there.
[John Sterling <[email protected]>]
*) Make sure to pre-mark anon SysV shared memory segments as
removed. [Jim Jagielski]
*) Add --with-efence to allow usage of Electric Fence.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Updated the pools debug code. Check if a pool is still
valid on the most common apr_pool_xxx functions.
Fix the way APR_POOL_DEBUG_VERBOSE was using stderr.
Make the output somewhat nicer in this debug mode. [Sander Striker]
*) Add new define APR_POOL_DEBUG_VERBOSE which spits out info
about pool creation/destruction [Ian Holsman]
*) Fix GMT offset adjustments for platforms that do not have native
GMT offset adjustments. [Jon Travis <[email protected]>]
*) Add new apr_shm_t API and remove old apr_shmem_t API. The new
API handles both anonymous and name-based shared memory. Anonymous
shared memory segments are only usable on systems with process
inheritance, and so the new API with name-based segments is
usable on platforms like Win32. [Aaron Bannert and William Rowe
with much help from Justin Erenkrantz and Sander Striker]
*) Add --with-egd to support EGD-compatible entropy gatherers for
those platforms without native support. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) apr_lock_create() and apr_proc_mutex_create() now have an
additional parameter for specifying the lock mechanism.
apr_lock_create_np() and apr_proc_mutex_create_np() have been
removed. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Change the prototype of apr_thread_exit() so that the apr_status_t
is no longer a pointer. It was difficult and sometimes hazardous
to return a apr_status_t* at times, and this allows us to return
the APR_* error codes directly. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Add apr_sockaddr_equal() for comparing APR sockaddrs.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Win32: apr_sendfile() should return APR_ENOTIMPL if
oslevel < WINNT. [Bill Stoddard]
*) Put new pools code in place which allows applications to
switch off locking on pools operations in case a pool is
guaranteed to never being used in more than one thread
at the same time. We've seen a significant performance
improvement over the old code. [Sander Striker]
*) Add apr-config - a shell script to allow third-party programs
easy access to APR configuration parameters. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Add find_apr.m4 to allow third-party programs that use APR to
have a standard m4 macro for detection. [Greg Stein]
*) SEGV in apr_table_overlap [Brian Pane]
*) apr_array_copy speedup by removing the zero-fill [Brian Pane]
*) Fix build breakage on systems with getaddrinfo() but not
gai_strerror() (e.g., RedHat 5.2). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a problem in Unix apr_file_dup() which caused 0 to be returned
by the first read. [Stas Bekman <[email protected]>]
*) Fix a buglet that caused APR_FILE_BASED_SHM to be set inadvertently
on some platforms (e.g., Linux, AIX). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Speed up apr_table operations by using a cache/checksum and a
red-black tree in the overlay.
[Brian Pane <[email protected]>, Cliff Woolley]
*) Speed up apr_pool_userdata_set[n] by letting hash_set figure out
the strings length. [Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) New function apr_mmap_dup. This is called in the mmap_setaside.
[Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Speed up the apr_hash_t implementation's handling of APR_HASH_KEY_STRING.
[Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Tweak apr_gethostname() so that it detects truncation of the
name and returns an error. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix bug in Darwin DSO code. [Sander Temme]
*) Fix apr_setup_signal_thread() to grab the right error code from
a sigprocmask() failure. This only affects platforms that use
sigprocmask() in lieu of pthread_sigmask(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the Unix HAVE_POLL flavor of apr_poll_socket_mask() so that
it doesn't segfault. Avoid some wasted storage in a poll-related
APR structure. [INOUE Seiichiro <[email protected]>]
*) Fix apr_setup_signal_thread() so that threads don't block
synchronous signals (e.g., SIGSEGV). It is a programming error
to do so, and some platforms (e.g., Solaris, AIX) don't call any
registered signal handler when such signals are blocked.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Change the apr_table_elts macro so that it provides access via
a const pointer instead of a non-const pointer.
[Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Use strerror_r() where available, since strerror() isn't always
thread-safe. Example systems where strerror() isn't thread-safe:
Linux+glibc, AIX [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix some file cleanup problems in apr_proc_create() which could
result in the pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr being closed
immediately. [Jeff Trawick]
*) New functions apr_hash_[merge|copy], change to overlay fn
so that it calls merge, which does a inline iteration instead
of calling the iterator function. [Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Introduce the apr_pool_userdata_setn() variant that doesn't
strdup the key. Allows both the _setn() and _set() variant to
accept NULL for the cleanup. [Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Re-vamp the apr_proc_wait and apr_proc_wait_all functions. We
now return the exit code from the program and a reason that the
program died, either normal exit or signalled.
[Jeff Trawick and Ryan Bloom]
*) Implement portable accessors for proc mutex. These are equivalent
to apr_os_lock_get/set, but they work for apr_proc_mutex_t types
instead. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Added a new parameter to apr_thread_mutex_init(). Now, by default,
thread mutexes are not nested (sometimes called "recursive"). To
enable nested mutexes, a flag must be passed to the init script.
Non-nested mutexes are much faster than nested ones.
[Aaron Bannert]
*) read_with_timeout in apr/file_io/win32/readwrite.c incorrectly
returned APR_SUCCESS instead of APR_EOF when PeekNamedPipe failed
and the result from GetLastError() was ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE. Because
of this, the pipe wasn't closed as soon as it could be.
[Tim Costello <[email protected]>]
*) Fix a problem in the Win32 pipe creation code called by
apr_proc_create(): It didn't register cleanups for either the
read or the write ends of the pipe, so file handles (and event
handles for pipes with asynchronous I/O mode set) are never
closed. [Tim Costello <[email protected]>]
*) Add support for QNX 6. [J.T. Conklin <[email protected]>]
*) We now create exports.c and export_vars.h, which in turn create
exports.c. From this we generate two more files with different
purposes: apr.exp - list of exported symbols; and exports.lo
(exports.o) - an object file that can be linked with an executable
to force resolution of all apr symbols. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Add the apr_thread_cond_timedwait function to the condition
variable API. [Aaron Bannert]
*) Fixed apr_file_mktemp on systems without mkstemp (Win32, etc).
[Mladen Turk, Cliff Woolley]
*) Fix a segfault in apr_poll_clear on Unix. Also fix the logic
for the case where there are multiple events ORed together in
the events list. [Jamshid Mahdavi <[email protected]>]
*) Files opened on Unix with the flag APR_DELONCLOSE are now
not unlinked until they are actually closed, rather than as
soon as they're opened. The old approach worked but made
handling temp files harder. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Fix potential segfault when closing a file on Unix. If
apr_file_close() was called and it failed, it would not
deregister the file cleanup. Therefore the cleanup would
be run again later on a now-invalid descriptor. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Introduce apr_pool_lock for debugging, in combination with
ALLOC_USE_MALLOC + DEBUG_WITH_MPROTECT. Only implemented
on Win32 today, very effective for debugging pool constness.
[William Rowe]
*) Optimize apr_pstrcat by caching lengths of first 6 strings
[Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Add pool accessors to the apr_thread_mutex_t datatype.
[Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Add the apr_file_mktemp function. This creates and opens a
temporary file, for use by the program. This file is created
delete_on_close. The initial implementation only works on
Unix, but Windows is coming soon. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Make the unix version of apr_proc_wait_all_procs a simple wrapper
around apr_proc_wait, and which extracts the exit code from the
status returned by waitpid.
[Kevin Pilch-Bisson <[email protected]>]
*) Add process locking API to APR. [Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Add condition variables for Windows. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Add condition variables to the APR set of locking functions.
This does Unix, and provides stubs for all other platforms.
[Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Don't search for IPv6 names in apr_sockaddr_info_get() if the
application doesn't specify the family (i.e., the application
passes in AF_UNSPEC) and APR isn't built with IPv6 support.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix the API for the apr_proc_create() call on Win32. Several
bad assumptions are gone, including a mismatch between unix and
win32, where win32 was defaulting to create detached. Also fixes
the apr_proc_t's pid member to a real pid (identity that works
across processes) instead of the handle (which is a new hproc
member value.) [William Rowe]
*) Modify the external apr_filepath_get() fn to take a flags arg,
currently only for APR_FILEPATH_NATIVE. This returns c:\foo
format on Win32, and should do the same on OS2, or sys\vol:\foo
on Netware. Primarily for internals, but possibly useful to
others (and it mirrors some of the other apr_filepath_*() calls.)
[William Rowe]
*) Add the new thread read/write lock API to APR.
[Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Add the new thread mutex lock API to APR.
[Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Cache GMT offset on platforms that don't store it in the tm struct.
This offset is normalized to be independent of daylight savings
time. [Brian Pane <[email protected]>]
*) Initial support for cygwin. [Stipe Tolj <[email protected]>]
*) Fix a problem with buffered files on Unix. [Brian Havard]
*) Fix the bungling of getaddrinfo() error codes. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add an apr_thread_once function to APR. This allows a
program to ensure that a function is only called once.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) APR Documentation is now in Doxygen format.
[Ian Holsman]
*) Get apr_ungetc() to work with buffered files on Unix.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed apr_filepath_root on Unix [William Rowe, Cliff Woolley].
*) Rename XtOffset to APR_XtOffset. This namespace protection
is important to keep from conflicting with other packages.
[Perl]
*) Introduce a new --disable-ipv6 option to disable IPv6 support.
[Sterling Hughes <[email protected]>, Jeff
Trawick]
*) Fix the new shared memory code. We need to pass a pointer to
an apr_file_t to apr_file_open. Also, apr_os_file_get returns
a status value, not the OS file descriptor. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Fix the new shared memory configure script. The APR_DECIDE
macros go in order, so the last set of dependancies that are
met are the ones used. That means that when using those macros,
options should be listed with the least desirable option first,
and the most desirable last. The new shared memory routines did
the opposite, so we chose the wrong shared memory option on Linux.
[Ryan Bloom]
*) Move the necessary shared memory code from MM into APR and remove
our dependency upon MM. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Get apr_lock_file and apr_unlock_file working on Windows 9x.
[Mladen Turk, Bill Stoddard]
*) Make all APR pools be allocated out of the permanent pool.
This brings APR pools back to a tree structure. There are
no longer any way to create a pool that is not a decendant
of the permanent_pool. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Wrap all functions in APR_DECLARE macro.
[Sterling Hughes <[email protected]>]
*) Non-blocking connects shouldn't be calling connect a second
time. According to Single Unix, a non-blocking connect has
succeeded when the select pops successfully. It has failed
if the select failed. The second connect was causing 502's
in the httpd-proxy. [John Barbee [email protected]]
*) Fix apr_dir_rewind() for Win32 to avoid returning a bogus error.
[Jeff Trawick, William Rowe]
*) Detect required libraries first. This minimizes the libraries
needed in apr_hints.m4. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Support the AIX, glibc2, and Solaris variants of gethostby{name|addr}_r.
Use gethostbyaddr_r function when available.
[Sterling Hughes <[email protected]>]
*) Add new socket option, APR_INCOMPLETE_READ, that should be
set when you expect the first non-blocking read to fail with
EAGAIN. Setting APR_INCOMPLETE_READ prior to calling apr_read
will cause select() to be called first to wait for bytes
to read. [Brian Pane, Dean Gaudet]
*) Better installation. This makes us install the APRVARS file,
as well as MM. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Provide new number conversion functions apr_itoa, apr_ltoa, and
apr_off_t_toa, and inline code in inet_ntop4, to reduce CPU
consumption. [Brian Pane]
*) Updated APR to pass the thread worker_function prototype
(apr_thread_start_t) two parameters, the apr private data
(apr_thread_t*) and the application private data (void*).
Applications' worker_thread() routines may use apr_thread_pool_get
to access the pool (implemented using APR_POOL_*_ACCESSOR() macros.)
[Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Add Solaris 8's sendfilev() support. This requires the following
patches from Sun: 111297 (Sparc), 111298 (x86). You'll need the
other patches listed in the patch description. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Close file descriptor when we are done with fcntl or flock-based
cross-process lock. Otherwise, we leak descriptors.
[Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Fix a possible data corruption problem with the use of getpwnam_r() on
all platforms where that function is used.
Use getpwnam_r() and getgrgid_r() instead of getpwnam() and getgrgid()
with threaded builds on glibc (2.1, at least) to avoid thread safety
issues. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Added apr_lock_tryacquire. It will attempt to acquire the lock, but
will not block if it can not acquire the lock. Returns APR_EBUSY if
acquistion can not happen. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Added an inherit flag to apr_socket_create and other socket creation
functions. This allows APR programs to specify that a socket should
be passed to any child processes that are created. The inherit flag
is only meaningful if programs use apr_process_create(). This
also adds a couple of macros that allow APR types to set and unset
the inherit flag. [Ryan Bloom]
*) apr_connect()on Windows: Handle timeouts and returning the proper
status code when a connect is in progress. [Bill Stoddard]
*) apr_connect() on Unix: Handle EINTR during connect(). Handle timeouts.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Handle the weird case where getpwnam() returns NULL but errno is zero.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Add apr_file_flags_get() which returns the flags that were originally
passed in to apr_file_open(). [Cliff Woolley]
*) Added APR_HAS_XTHREAD_FILES macro that indicates whether or not the
platform handles files opened in APR_XTHREAD mode natively. Currently
only Win32 has such native support. [Cliff Woolley]
*) Fix gmt offset handling on Solaris. Apache log messages now show
local time again. PR #7902 [Taketo Kabe <[email protected]>]
*) apr_pstrcat() optimizations [Doug MacEachern, Jeff Trawick]
*) Make the apr_pool_is_ancestor logic public. This is required for
some new logic that is going into HTTPD. I have left the join logic
in that function debug only. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Clean up Win32 locks when the pool goes away.
[Justin Erenkrantz, Jeff Trawick]
*) Implement apr_get_home_directory for Win32. [William Rowe]
*) Complete the implementation of LARGEFILE support on Win32, although
the mmap semantics still need a touch of work. [William Rowe]
*) Fix the APR_XTHREAD support, and apr_sendfile mechanics, so we can
handle cross-threaded file handles on Win32. [William Rowe]
*) Implement APR_READWRITE locks on Unix with POSIX rwlocks.
Introduce new apr_lock_acquire_rw() function which takes in
APR_READER or APR_WRITER. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) Add apr_open_stdin. This mirrors apr_open_stderr, except it works
on stdin. [Aaron Bannert <[email protected]>]
*) Add apr_strtok(), a thread-safe flavor of strtok() which has the
same interface as strtok_r(). [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add other child support to Win32 [Bill Stoddard]
*) Other-child registrations are automatically removed when the
associated pool is destroyed. This avoids garbage in the list
of registrations when a pool with a registration is freed.
[Jeff Trawick]
*) Allow LTFLAGS to be overridden by the configure command-line
(default="--silent") and introduce LT_LDFLAGS. [Roy Fielding]
*) Add memory code kindly donated to APR by
Elrond <[email protected]>
Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <[email protected]>
Sander Striker <[email protected]>
[David Reid]
*) Fix a problem with the FreeBSD flavor of apr_sendfile() where we
could return APR_EAGAIN+bytes_sent. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fix a problem on unixware where clearing h_errno wouldn't work.
Use set_h_errno() instead. PR #7651 [Jeff Trawick]
*) Add the test and build directories (when present) to the recursive
make process, being sure that they are run last. test is only done
recursively for make *clean targets. [Roy Fielding]
*) Make the apr_mmap_create() function use the native_flags variable.
This allows us to actually create WRITEABLE MMAPs.
[Ed Korthof <[email protected]>]
*) Completely revamp configure so that it preserves the standard make
variables CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS by moving
the configure additions to EXTRA_* variables. Also, allow the user
to specify NOTEST_* values for all of the above, which eliminates the
need for THREAD_CPPFLAGS, THREAD_CFLAGS, and OPTIM. Fix the setting
of INCLUDES and EXTRA_INCLUDES. Check flags as they are added to
avoid pointless duplications. Fix the order in which flags are given
on the compile and link lines. [Roy Fielding]
*) Fix DSO code on HP/UX. We have to use == not =, and it makes more
sense to actually return errno, so that the return code means
something. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Clean up conditionals in unix DSO code so that we decide based on
the dynamic loading implementation, which we noticed at configure
time, instead of by operating system.
[Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Add DSO support for dyld platforms (Darwin/Mac OS and OpenStep).
[Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Amend the time code to better deal with time zones.
[David Reid]
*) Carefully select an appropriate native type for apr_int64_t and
define its format as APR_INT64_T_FMT and literal using APR_INT64_C().
[Justin Erenkrantz, William Rowe]
*) Make clean, distclean, and extraclean consistently according to the
Gnu makefile guidelines. [Justin Erenkrantz <[email protected]>]
*) Initial implementation of of apr_filepath (get/set/parse_root and
merge) for Windows. [William Rowe]
*) Cleaned up implementation of of apr_filepath (get/set/parse_root
and merge) for Unix. [Greg Stein, William Rowe]
*) Fixup the --enable-libtool option. This allows the test directory
to compile again. The test directory still doesn't work when
APR is configured without libtool. [Ryan Bloom]
*) If we don't have sigwait() in the system, see if sigsuspend() is
available, and use that instead. [Wilfredo Sanchez]
*) Make libtool optional at configure time. This is done with
--disable-libtool. [Ryan Bloom]
*) Recognize systems where the TCP_NODELAY setting is inherited from
the listening socket, and optimize apr_setsockopt(APR_TCP_NODELAY)
accordingly. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Recognize the presence of getnameinfo() on Tru64. [David Reid]
