Russell Belfer 1a42dd17 2013-05-31T14:13:11 Mutex init can fail It is obviously quite a serious problem if this happens, but mutex initialization can fail and we should detect it. It's a bit like a memory allocation failure, in that you're probably pretty screwed if this occurs, but at least we'll catch it.
Russell Belfer 53607868 2013-04-15T00:09:03 Further threading fixes This builds on the earlier thread safety work to make it so that setting the odb, index, refdb, or config for a repository is done in a threadsafe manner with minimized locking time. This is done by adding a lock to the repository object and using it to guard the assignment of the above listed pointers. The lock is only held to assign the pointer value. This also contains some minor fixes to the other work with pack files to reduce the time that locks are being held to and fix an apparently memory leak.
Russell Belfer 41954a49 2013-03-18T14:19:35 Switch search paths to classic delimited strings This switches the APIs for setting and getting the global/system search paths from using git_strarray to using a simple string with GIT_PATH_LIST_SEPARATOR delimited paths, just as the environment PATH variable would contain. This makes it simpler to get and set the value. I also added code to expand "$PATH" when setting a new value to embed the old value of the path. This means that I no longer require separate actions to PREPEND to the value.

Justin Spahr-Summers c3320aca 2012-12-09T02:22:50 git__mwindow_mutex needs to be initialized even with pthreads This could also use PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER, but a dynamic initializer seems like a more portable concept, and we won't need another #define on top of git_mutex_init()

Vicent Marti 93b5fabc 2012-10-01T17:59:04 threads: Assert that the global state is initialized
Carlos Martín Nieto 8cef828d 2012-08-18T22:11:49 Make the memory-window conrol structures global Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking. This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level thread can change at any moment. Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
Russell Belfer 2bc8fa02 2012-04-17T10:14:24 Implement git_pool paged memory allocator This adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this, you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data stream that are either all kept or all discarded. There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for "fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object (e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
