* libguile/scmsigs.c (signal_delivery_thread): Call scm_async_tick to
give any pending asyncs a chance to run before we block indefinitely
waiting for a signal to arrive.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (scm_sigaction_for_thread): Remove check that
thread hadn't exited. This check was racy as it's always possible
that the other thread exits between checking it or even after the
signal handler is installed.
* libguile/dynl.c:
* libguile/gc.c:
* libguile/keywords.c:
* libguile/scmsigs.c:
* libguile/stime.c: Use scm_i_dynamic_link instead of scm_dynamic_link
so that things compile in without-threads configurations.
* libguile/root.h:
* libguile/root.c: Remove these files.
* libguile/deprecated.h:
* libguile/deprecated.c (scm_internal_cwdr, scm_call_with_dynamic_root)
(scm_dynamic_root, scm_apply_with_dynamic_root): Deprecate.
Remove all root.h usage, which was vestigial.
* module/ice-9/serialize.scm: Use (current-thread) instead
of (dynamic-root).
* libguile/scmsigs.c (signal_handler_lock): New variable.
(scm_sigaction_for_thread): Block asyncs and use a mutex instead of
using scm_dynwind_critical_section.
* libguile/__scm.h (SCM_TICK): Always define as scm_async_tick().
* libguile/error.c (scm_syserror, scm_syserror_msg):
* libguile/fports.c (fport_read, fport_write):
* libguile/_scm.h (SCM_SYSCALL): Replace SCM_ASYNC_TICK with
scm_async_tick ().
(SCM_ASYNC_TICK, SCM_ASYNC_TICK_WITH_CODE)
(SCM_ASYNC_TICK_WITH_GUARD_CODE): Remove internal definitions. We
inline into vm-engine.c, the only place where it matters.
* libguile/async.h:
* libguile/async.c (scm_async_tick, scm_i_setup_sleep):
(scm_i_reset_sleep, scm_system_async_mark_for_thread):
* libguile/threads.h (struct scm_thread_wake_data):
* libguile/threads.h (scm_i_thread):
* libguile/threads.c (block_self, guilify_self_1, scm_std_select):
Rewrite to use sequentially-consistent atomic references.
* libguile/atomics-internal.h (scm_atomic_set_pointer):
(scm_atomic_ref_pointer): New definitions.
* libguile/finalizers.c (queue_finalizer_async): We can allocate, so
just use scm_system_async_mark_for_thread instead of the set-cdr!
shenanigans.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (take_signal):
* libguile/gc.c (queue_after_gc_hook): Adapt to new asyncs mechanism.
Can't allocate but we're just manipulating the current thread when no
other threads are running so we should be good.
* libguile/vm-engine.c (VM_HANDLE_INTERRUPTS): Inline the async_tick
business.
* doc/ref/posix.texi (Signals): Fix the documentation for setitimer; it
was wrong.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (pack_tv): New helper. Allow usecs >= 1e6.
(unpack_tv): New helper.
(scm_setitimer): Use the new helpers.
* test-suite/tests/signals.test: Add setitimer tests.
* configure.ac (alarm): Check for decl.
* libguile/scmsigs.c: Reorder includes to put system includes first.
Fixes include order on mingw. Remove #define for alarm, as we will
use HAVE_DECL_ALARM. Remove #defines for sleep and usleep, as they
are not used.
(scm_alarm): Only define if HAVE_DECL_ALARM.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (GC_get_suspend_signal): Fix the back-compatibility
shim for this function to work on some other cases; I hadn't realized
that gcconfig.h could set SIG_SUSPEND. Thanks to Aleix Conchillo
Flaqué for the report.
* configure.ac: Add a check for GC_get_suspend_signal().
* libguile/scmsigs.c (GC_get_suspend_signal): Define a fallback
implementation if one isn't available.
(signal_delivery_thread): Unmask the suspend signal so that GC can
stop the world. Fixes test-pthread-create on libgc 7.1 and earlier.
Thanks to Frank Terbeck <ft@bewatermyfriend.org> for the report.
* libguile/scmsigs.c (read_signal_pipe_data, signal_delivery_thread):
Leave guile when reading from the signal pipe. Hopefully that lets GC
know not to wake up this thread.
As the Autoconf documentation says, "These days portable programs
[...] should not rely on `HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS', since nowadays
whether a system call is restartable is a dynamic issue, not a
configuration-time issue."
In other words, if we ever rely on HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS, we are
at the mercy of any code that Guile happens to be linked with, because
that code could install a signal handler without the SA_RESTART flag,
and then a Guile system call could unexpectedly return EINTR.
The readline part of this goes back to this problem report:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/guile/2000-05/msg00177.html; and is an
excellent example of the above paragraph. It was noted during the
discussion that undefining HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS would fix the
problem, but that solution wasn't adopted - I guess because Guile was
still using cooperative threads then (not pthreads) and so there was a
significant concern (whether founded or not) that not using
restartable syscalls (where available) could lead to a loss of
performance.
Now Guile's default mode of operation is with pthreads, where we
already don't assume that HAVE_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS is reliable, so
there is no possible further performance loss. And in any case we
really have no choice, if we want correct operation.
Thanks to Sylvain Beucler for reporting this and suggesting the fix.

Remove this setting, together with its test code.
(HAVE_RL_PRE_INPUT_HOOK): Remove this setting and its code, as no

signals.
* THANKS: Add Sylvain.
This fixes bug #24009 reported by Martin Pitt.

pipe(2).
(scm_std_select): Use `full_read ()' instead of `read ()' when reading
from WAKEUP_FD.

of write(2) when writing to SLEEP_FD.
* libguile/fports.c (fport_flush): Likewise.

NGROUPS.

Discouraged by moving to discouraged.h and discouraged.c and
reimplementing in terms of scm_from_* and scm_to_*. Changed all uses
to the new scm_from_* and scm_to_* functions.
SCM_INUM): Deprecated by reenaming them to SCM_I_INUMP, SCM_I_NINUMP
and SCM_I_INUM, respectively and adding deprecated versions to
deprecated.h and deprecated.c. Changed all uses to either use the
SCM_I_ variants or scm_is_*, scm_to_*, or scm_from_*, as appropriate.
SCM_VALIDATE_BIGINT, SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN,
SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN_COPY,
SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_MIN_DEF_COPY,SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_DEF,
SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_DEF_COPY, SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_RANGE,
SCM_VALIDATE_INUM_RANGE_COPY): Deprecated because they make the
fixnum/bignum distinction visible. Changed all uses to scm_to_size_t
or similar.
SCM_NEGATE_BOOL, SCM_BOOLP): Deprecated by moving into "deprecated.h".
Replaced all uses with scm_is_false, scm_is_true, scm_from_bool, and
scm_is_bool, respectively.
