v0.3.1 (2025-01-13)
Notice the domain if it needs to look into the shared heap if a task is ready to be transfered (@dinosaure, #41)
Don't use Option.value but match .. with to calculate the optional length for Miou_unix.{read,write} (@kit-ty-kate, #44)
Use List.iter instead of Hashtbl.iter for internal kept file-descriptors of Miou_unix (@dinosaure, #45)
Improve the documentation of Miou_unix about suspended syscalls (@dinosaure, @kit-ty-kate, #43)
Export reraise (@dinosaure, #46)
Fix an issue on the dom0 and observe if some tasks must be transfered to it (@dinosaure, #48)
Fix documentation (@mbarbin, #47)
Fix the formatter (@mbarbin, #51)
Upgrade miou to ocamlformat.0.27.0 (@mbarbin, #52)
Add x-maintenance-intent (@hannesm, #56)
Improve the documentation and some odoc warnings (@mbarbin, #53, #54)
v0.3.0 (2024-08-22)
Set the internal pipe used to interrupt a domain to a non-blocking mode and remove the usage of an atomic which protect how we fill the pipe (@haesbaert, @dinosaure, #28)
Expose option to reuse addr/port when we Miou_unix.bind_and_listen (@ada2k, @dinosaure, #27)
Protect an illegal access to the orphan from a possibly parallel task which does not own the orphan value (@polytypic, @dinosaure, #31, #32)
Be able to pin a specific domain when we want to launch a parallel task (@dinosaure, #34)
Expose the Miou.Backoff module which can be useful for users (@dinosaure, #35)
Fix or improve (from the maintenance point-of-view) the Miou.Queue module and some internal parts of Miou about the usage of atomics (@dinosaure, @polytypic, #36, #33)
Prefer to require a finaliser function for the events value and actually close the internal Unix.pipe used to interrupt domain than to use Gc.finaliser and possibly leak file-descriptors (spotted by @hannesm, @dinosaure, #37)
v0.2.0 (2024-06-04)
Don't try to abusively fill the pipe to interrupt a domain
Interrupting a domain involves writing to a pipe to interrupt the select(2) if it is running. The pipe has a limited memory, depending on the system, and if you ask to interrupt a domain too much, you end up blocking the write. This patch prevents writing to the pipe if it has not yet been read.
(@dinosaure, #46)
Expose the Sequence module (@dinosaure, #47)
Be able to add a hook (effect free) into the scheduler
It is possible to add a hook to the scheduler. If the user wants to execute a function to a domain each time the domain is busy with a task, they can do so. However, the effects are not managed in the passed function.
(@dinosaure, #48)
Add Miou.Lazy, a domain-safe Lazy module like Stdlib.Lazy (@dinosaure, initially implemented by @polytypic, #49)
Raise an exception if the user uses syscalls (from Miou_unix) and Miou.run instead of Miou_unix.run
If a user uses a suspend function offered by Miou_unix but does not use Miou_unix.run, the programme may block indefinitely. This patch prevents such an error by raising an exception if we want to add a suspension point and we haven't specified how to handle it (if we use Miou.run instead of Miou_unix.run).
(@dinosaure, reported by @kit-ty-kate, #51)
Rename Miou.set_signal to Miou.sys_signal (@dinosaure, #50)
Fix an issue related to the dom0 and pending tasks locked by mutexes
Tasks may have been transmitted to dom0 while it was executing a task and before the select(2). This patch resynchronises the pending tasks in dom0's TODO-list before making the select(2): specifically to find out whether the select(2) can block indefinitely or not. This patch also cleans up the old states of the tables used by Miou_unix if it is used on an ongoing basis (as in the case of tests).
(@dinosaure, #53)
Add Miou.Domain.available (@dinosaure, #53)
Fix a race condition (observed with TSan) when we wait the cancellation of a children
This patch changes Miou's behaviour a little when waiting for a task to be cancelled and prevents invalid access to a value that does not belong to the current domain (and which can be modified by another domain). Thanks @OlivierNicole and @fabbing for their advice on using TSan.
(@dinosaure, #56)
Update the layout of Miou to avoid conflicts with other packages (like backoff) (@dinosaure, reported by @patricoferris, #57)
OCaml 5.3 support (@kit-ty-kate, github#22)
Rename Miou.call_cc to Miou.async (@dinosaure, @kit-ty-kate, @Armael, github#23)
v0.1.0 (2024-04-03)
A major change in Miou's internals to incorporate the excellent work of Vesa Karvonen available in his picos project. This change integrates the Trigger module and the Computation module. It also uses the Await effect, which we hope will be standardised.
This addition has enabled us to integrate the new Condition and Mutex modules.
This change has enabled us to correctly formalise the resources used by our scheduler and to release them accordingly, particularly with regard to the cancellation whose behaviour is better defined.
We also took the opportunity to integrate the priority queue extracted from the Vocal project and checked using Why3. We would like to thank their authors and maintainers for their help.
Finally, the API has changed very little and only ownership is no longer mandatory when using the Miou_unix module but is still available through the Miou_unix.Ownership module.
As such, we have written a tutorial that explains in detail what Miou can offer and how to create applications with it. It's also a good introduction to using effects and implementing a mini echo server and mini scheduler.
The changes are far too profound to establish an accurate Changelog since the last beta. However, we have tried to respect our previous tests as much as possible and ensure continuity in what Miou has to offer despite its beta status. We hope that, given the changes described above, users will understand this breaking-change.
Miou includes a mechanism that allows you to create an effects manager using Miou's effects manager. The latter always respects the rule: one effect yields. The documentation has been updated accordingly. Tests 28 and 31 show an example of effect composition.
Test 26 verifies that Miou does indeed perform an infinite loop if a system event handler has not been installed and Miou.suspend is used. Test 27 is used to check Miou's behaviour with Miou.yield.
When a task is cancelled, we have to clean up the suspension points created in this task. The code has been factorised to avoid duplication between happy-eyeballs and dns.
breaking change Be able to know if an orphans still have few tasks or not. The Miou.care returns an 'a t option option where:
Some (Some _) is a ready-to-await task
Some None informs that some tasks still exists but they are not finished
breaking change The give argument no longer transfers ownership to the new task, but copies ownership so that the task that created the new task and the new task have ownership of the resource. @dinosaure 55ff54ddfd585f52fcda4d56caf2458760a7f949
Add a self function: This function lets you know which promise you're in. It provides information such as the domain executing the task, the promise identifier and the number of resources it is responsible for. @dinosaure 0b1833f623e61b674105cdced64aa624f2a6340e
Reverse control of task waits. Previously, Miou systematically added a step if we wanted to wait for the result of a task. If the task was completed, we ended up giving the result after several observations of the promise, which could be slow in certain situations.
Now, waiting for a task attaches the continuation to the promise. If the task associated with the promise finishes, we simply "continue" with the value obtained avoiding a systematic observation of the state of the promise until the task finishes.
