* Thread-safe xmalloc and xrealloc needs a recursive mutexJohannes Sixt2010-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mutex used to protect object access (read_mutex) may need to be acquired recursively. Introduce init_recursive_mutex() helper function in thread-utils.c that constructs a mutex with the PHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE attribute. pthread_mutex_init() emulation on Win32 is already recursive as it is implemented on top of the CRITICAL_SECTION type, which is recursive. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682530%28VS.85%29.aspx Add do-nothing compatibility wrappers for pthread_mutexattr* functions.

* Make usage of windows.h lean and meanMarius Storm-Olsen2009-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first, so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage, since they contain duplicate definitions. When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in winsock2.h. We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

* pack-objects: Add runtime detection of online CPU'sAndreas Ericsson2008-02-23
Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the most optimal one. This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of online CPU's. This feature is also documented. As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated, either by configuration or by command line parameter. The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the public domain and can presently be downloaded from http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/ Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <casey@nrlssc.navy.mil> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
