2009-03-31 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Address rt.cpan.org #44082: "Bug in compiler detection (Makefile.PL)" (for AIX xlc) Patch submitted in the report by rehsack at cpan.org. * Release 1.2903. 2008-12-30 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Lowered the "0.95 of the current limit" down to "0.75 of the current limit" in setrlimit.t so that more memory-constrained systems (like 2MB or less of default stack) have slightly more chance of completing the test. The 0.75 also has more chance of aligning with page sizes. * The scalar context return of getrlimit() was documented to return an object, even though it really returned the soft limit, reported by anicka@suse.cz. Fixed the documentation. * Judging by the cpantesters reports no netbsd has a functional RLIMIT_STACK, so skipping the test in all of them. * Release 1.2902. 2008-01-29 Jarkko Hietaniemi * netbsd-alpha does not have a functional RLIMIT_STACK, reported by David Cantrell. Skip the test, and document as a known issue. * Release 1.2901. 2008-01-27 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Rewrite the setrlimit.t test. Simplify it a lot; now all RLIM_INFINITY limits are simply skipped; for those that are limited we try setting only the soft limit, and accept a value lower than we tried to set, since various systems might either enforce lower limits, or round up the limits. Added documentation on setrlimit() about this. * Allow calling getrlimit/setrlimit and getpriority/setpriority with the string names ("RLIMIT_NPROC", for example). * Include ppport.h (generated with perl 5.8.8), reshuffle system header includes appropriately. * Tested also with older Perls, 5.005_05 and 5.6.2, in OS X. (5.005_04 didn't work, it creates but then cannot dynaload the .bundle files, go figure.) * Minor documentation tweaks and copyright year bumps. * Release 1.29. 2006-05-26 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Tweak the regexp parsing the ps -o output in setpriority.t, from Alexey Tourbin and Rafael Garcia-Suarez. Still just a best-effort attempt, but one can only try. * Release 1.28. 2006-05-25 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Address rt.cpan.org #13130 and #19412: try to cope with an already reniced shell running the setpriority.t. The tricks used are trying "ps -o pid,nice" and looking for $$, and if that fails, then trying whether the nice(1) is the GNU one, and if so, running it without arguments. * Release 1.27. 2006-05-21 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Address rt.cpan.org #19298: bug in getrusage(): 'inblock' was misspelt as 'inlock' (the end result being that people looking for the 'inblock' field got zero) * For Mac OS X reword the message about the RLIM_NPROC test failure (or rather, the possible failure). Still a mystery under what exact conditions the test fails or succeeds. * Add Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage tests. * Release 1.26. 2006-04-09 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Address rt.cpan.org #13131: setrlimit.t tries to increase hard limits, cannot raise limits higher than the hard limit. * Address rt.cpan.org #13130: getpriority.t and setpriority.t assume priority = 0, solution hopefully portable. Now should work under e.g. "nice make test". * Add more verbosity to the case of the known rlimit.t test failure in Mac OS X. * Release 1.25. Sun Feb 29 16:51:34 2004 Jarkko Hietaniemi * No functional changes but document the known fact that under at least Mac OS X 10.3.2 the t/setrlimit.t subtest #8 may fail because of an OS bug. Also reorder the documentation a bit to collect all the known issues under one heading. * Release 1.24. Tue Oct 7 21:54:04 2003 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Makefile.PL: use archlibexp instead of archlib in cc -I.../CORE so that Perls installed under ~user work. * Release 1.23. Sun Feb 9 12:12:42 2003 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Add RLIMIT_LOCKS. * Fix a typo s/RLIM_SAVEWD_MAX/RLIMIT_SAVED_MAX/ * Sort the @EXPORT list. * Release 1.22. Thu Dec 12 01:15:44 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Patches for NCR MP-RAS from grommel@sears.com. * Release 1.21. Tue Nov 26 04:20:38 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Add a warning about the time/load-sensitivity of the tests to INSTALL and Makefile.PL. * Rewrite the getrusage.t and times.t tests a bit to better work on a fast machine (IOW, try spending a bit more time). * Release 1.20. Fri Nov 22 17:57:44 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Fixed a test problem found by Alain Barbet: in NetBSD the RLIMIT_STACK wants to be aligned. Fixed also the other memory-related limit tests to allow for alignment. * Release 1.19. Wed Nov 20 16:42:50 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Problem found by Jeff Boes, forwarded and analyzed by Slaven Rezic: if one has a fast machine and/or the granularity of times() is low, one could get false negatives from far() in getrusage.t. Fixed the same problem in times.t. * Bumped the copyright statement years. * Release 1.18. Thu Sep 19 16:53:26 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Patch from Miles Egan to use -I$archlib/CORE instead of -I$installarchlib/CORE in Makefile.PL, since they might be different but the first one is the one apps are supposed to be using. * Sanity check for getrlimit/setrlimit/getpriority/setpriority so that one won't use the string "RLIMIT_..."/"PRIO_..." when one is supposed to be using the constant RLIMIT_.../PRIO_... * Release 1.17. Sun Sep 15 18:44:36 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Patch from Allen Smith to avoid -lbsd in IRIX since it potentially brings in harmful side effects regarding setpgrp/setgroups. * Mention the use of VERBOSE in the probe failure message. * Release 1.16. Thu May 9 04:18:09 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Add COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE to Resource.pm. * Release 1.15. Sat Jan 26 07:14:00 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * A space between the 2>/dev/null and the command is nice. * Release 1.14. Tue Jan 22 16:55:44 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Alex J Avriette reported that in Darwin 5.2 the Makefile.PL dies with great noise. Simplify the resource header scan. * Release 1.13. Wed Jan 16 02:38:54 2002 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.12. * Allen Smith had a compiler setup in IRIX 6.5 that made Makefile.PL wrongly think that there be no ($ENV{CC} set to "cc -...", which made the basename() logic fail) Fri Sep 28 05:35:16 2001 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.11. * I suck. Vivek Khera reported NINE MONTHS ago that I was missing sub isrss(). My memory was jogged by a message from Jeff Boes ONE MONTH ago. My apologies. Mon Mar 5 16:43:44 2001 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.10. * Move $VERSION from Makefile.PL to Resource.pm as suggested by Philip Newton. * Require at least Perl 5.002. Mon Oct 30 22:39:40 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.09. Fixed to work with 5.6.0 and Solaris: the default setting of Perl 5.6.0 is to use "large files", which does not mix with the Solaris /procfs interface. Workaround: use the old trusty syscall(). The deficiency reported to Solaris kernel group, so there's hope that in some future patch/release the procfs will get fixed. Document the "Your vendor has not ..." error message. Sat Apr 15 23:45:06 2000 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.08: (about time) Fixed to work with 5.6. Fixed to work with Linux (PRIO_ are just enums, not defines). Added a few possible RLIMIT_ constants (RLIMIT_AIO_MEM, RLIMIT_AIO_OP, RLIMIT_OFILE, RLIMIT_TCACHE). Fri Jan 16 15:47:19 1998 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.07: Added pseudo-times(). Major Solaris 5.[56] hackery to use the /proc. Don't know whether older Solarises work anymore :-/ Mon Jun 2 13:32:54 1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.06: Renamed release 1.05_02 to release 1.06 as the release seems quite stable. Sun Apr 27 18:20:00 1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.05_02: Tiny cleanup work. Sat Apr 26 21:10:00 1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.05_01: More platforms known to work MachTen 4.0.3 1) Many thanks to Dominic Dunlop 1) well, setrlimit() does not, at all, but this is a known bug in MachTen, Perl canna fix it... Tue Apr 08 01:27:33 1997 Jarkko Hietaniemi * Release 1.05: The platforms known to work AIX 3.2.5, 4.1.4 Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1) 3.2C, 4.0b FreeBSD 3.0 HP-UX 9.03 IRIX 5.3, 6.3, 6.4 Linux 2.0.18 Solaris 2.5.1 SunOS 4.1.4 Many thanks to Jim Anderson Ariel Faigon Scott Henry Brett M Hogden Nick Ing-Simmons Ollivier Robert Ashok S Larry W Virden Ilya Zakharevich for their testing and patches. Especially many thanks to Scott Henry and Ariel Faigon. --
