Fix synchronization issue at thread start

2017-01-28T23:52:07+00:00

If a newly spawned thread called getThreadId or getThreadHandle before the spawning thread finished saving the thread handle, then the handle/id would be used uninitialized. This would cause the threading tests to fail since isCurrentThread would return false, and if Minetest is built with C++11 support the std::thread object pointer would be dereferenced while ininitialized, causing a segmentation fault. This fixes the issue by using a mutex to force the spawned thread to wait for the spawning thread to finish initializing the thread object. An alternative way to handle this would be to also set the thread handle/id in the started thread but this wouldn't work for C++11 builds because there's no way to get the partially constructed object.

Fix C++11 Windows build of threading code

2016-10-06T20:37:30+00:00

The initial problem was that mutex_auto_lock.h tries to use std::unique_lock despite mutex.h not using C++11's std::mutex on Windows. The problem here is the mismatch between C++11 usage conditions of the two headers. This commit moves the decision logic to threads.h and makes sure mutex.h, mutex_auto_lock.h and event.h all use the same features.

Fix & make linux conditionals uniform (#4278)

2016-07-04T19:00:57+00:00

The source used a hodge-podge of different combinations of different macros to check for linux: 'linux', '__linux', '__linux__'. As '__linux__' is standard (Posix), and the others are not, the source now uniformly uses __linux__. If either linux or __linux are defined, it is made sure that __linux__ is defined as well.
