./devel/sfsexp, Small Fast S-Expression Library

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.4.1, Package name: sfsexp-1.4.1, Maintainer: ryoon

This library is intended for developers who wish to manipulate (read,
parse, modify, and create) symbolic expressions from C or C++
programs. A symbolic expression, or s-expression, is essentially a
LISP-like expression such as (a (b c)). S-expressions are able to
represent complex, structured data without requiring additional
meta-data describing the structure. They are recursively defined: an
s-expression is a list of either atoms or s-expressions. In the
example above, the expression contains an atom "a" and an
s-expression, which in turn contains two atoms, "b" and "c". They are
simple, useful, and well understood.

Log message:
sfsexp: update to 1.4.1.

1.4.1

Summary

This is a bug fix release that addresses a race condition that can
occur in multi-threaded programs when memory management is enabled.
In previous versions of the library memory management was enabled
by default. This is no longer the case, and it must be enabled
explicitly at configure time.

Explanation of bug: The global variables used for caching and
reusing allocated structures and the functions that manipulate them
do not currently protect critical sections to guarantee atomicity
which can lead to failures in multithreaded programs. The current
fix is to disable memory management by compiling with the
_NO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_ directive such that the thread-unsafe code
must be enabled explicitly. The unsafe code may be removed in future
releases if performance evaluation determines that it is a legacy
feature that no longer provides a tangible performance benefit. If
it does provide a measurable benefit, a thread-safe fix will be
implemented.

1.4.0
