details:
- add a new magic string "XMBu" to indicate an unfinished XMB file;
- header magic fields are now exclusively strings to avoid type punning;
- XMBFile::Initialize now has a return value which is checked by
ReadXMBFile;
- the XML loader re-creates the XMB if that fails.
This was SVN commit r6016.
- add AlignedAllocator - an STL allocator that returns
cache-line-aligned objects (required to avoid RFOs when threads write to
various independent items in a container)
- bits: bit_mask can now be used for N=0..numBits (works around
full-word-shifts-are-undefined issue)
- precompiled.h: remove scoped_ptr, add function-related stuff from TR1
- numa:
. add numa_IsMemoryInterleaved
. numa_Allocate is now able to allocate large pages as well (reduces
TLB misses)
- os_cpu: interface change to support 32-bit apps running on WoW64
systems with > 4 GB of memory
- topology: use new x86_x64_EnumerateCaches API; fix detection of cache
ID
- x86_x64: provide the means of enumerating all caches returned by CPUID
and detect L1 cache size
This was SVN commit r6004.
- topology.cpp: modify interface due to thread-safety issue. caller is
now responsible for ensuring the first _Detect call isn't reentered;
everything else is safe.
- fix thread-safety issue in wnuma; use winit mechanism to ensure it's
ready before use
- VFS now takes a cacheSize parameter (required for being able to
disable read-only file caches for the image loader at work)
- allow dynarray that isn't actually holding memory
- debug_stl: VC9 fix (disable this code except on the exact STL version
on which it was tested)
- zlib, lib_api: changes to macro used to toggle between static and
dynamic linking
- add boost filesystem header in external_libraries
- amd64: cpu_ topology functions are now provided by x86_x64
- cpu: remove cpu_ClockFrequency (dangerous, may be tempting to use
during WHRT init which would cause a crash). use x86_x64_ClockFrequency
or os_cpu_ClockFrequency instead.
- werrno: cope with newer boost versions
- wmman: follow SUSv3 in rejecting zero-length mappings
This was SVN commit r5954.
fix documentation of ceil_log2 relating to input=0
remove os_cpu_SetThreadAffinity (redundant)
wcpu: make max # processors available via os_cpu.h; remove warning if
process affinity is restricted
This was SVN commit r5951.
