v1.0-beta.6

This revision contains the following changes:

1. Destructors that have been registered with _MCF_tls_key_new() are no longer called upon process exit, as specified by the ISO C11 standard, which also matches the behavior of pthread_key_create() on Linux.
   • This has no effect on callbacks registered with __cxa_thread_atexit() which are called both upon thread and process exit.
2. Multiple definition errors about memcmp() etc. when linking against the static library no longer happen; reported by lhmouse/nano-win#40.
3. The binaries were built with GCC 12, unlike previous ones which were built with GCC 11.

v1.0-beta.5

This revision contains the following updates:

1. ABI version macros have been added in <mcfgthread/version.h> which is also included by other headers.
2. DLL version information can now be viewed in Windows Explorer.
3. GetModuleHandleExW() is no longer invoked upon each thread's creation and termination.
4. A new function _MCF_hires_utc_now() has been added, which can be utilized to implement clock_gettime() in the future.
5. _MCF_mutex_lock() and _MCF_mutex_unlock() can be inlined if there is no contention, for example, in single-threaded programs.
6. Standard string functions memcpy(), memmove(), memset() and memcmp() have been implemented in assembly for x86 and x86-64. They are exported from the DLL for external use. On the other platforms, the generic ones from NTDLL are called. This can reduce code size a bit.
7. Prebuilt binaries are now optimized for size instead of speed.

v1.0-beta.4

This revision contains the following updates:

1. -mnop-fun-dllimport has been added into CFLAGS. This means calls to dllimport'd functions no longer need to go through __imp_ thunks and are now more efficient.
2. The hashing policy of mutexes has been improved a little so there should less likely be collisions.

Optimization of mutex

This revision contains the following updates:

1. All comments have been changed to C89 style, so headers should compile without warnings as C89.
2. The mutex has been optimized heavily. Benchmark results have been added.

Have a nice day.

v1.0-beta.2

This revision contains the following update:

1. __gthread_self() no longer returns a null pointer inside callbacks registered with atexit().

Have a nice day.

GCC, binutils, mingw-w64 CRT and GDB bootstrap complete

I have so far bootstrapped GCC 11, binutils 2.38, mingw-w64 10.0 and GDB 11.2, and seen no problems so far.
Please read notes in README.md before using this library. More details can be found here.

• If you are using MSYS2, these packages may be installed with pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz.
• It is possible to install these packages by unpacking and copying files by hand.

Have a nice day.
