CHANGELOG.md

to-do

• find a way to enforce @Async
• ensure correct exception handling

Pending

• Docs improvements
  • Note about busy wait dangers with yield
  • Misc moves of things around
  • synct & syncf
  • note about closures, stack references, and lifetimes... stuff, idk what to call that
• Finalize synct classes, as they are used only for their reference semantics (and lock support), not for OOP
  • Relatedly, remove some shared keywords in synct for members inside a shared class, which were doing nothing.
• Swap reactor.Reactor.WrappedFiber from a class to a struct. This has no real effect but I prefer it.
• Remove pointless (and likely slow) atomics from TSemaphore, as the value is protected by a lock anyway.
• Add a custom allocator for WrappedFiber & Fiber instances in reactor, based on freelists. This will reduce the required amount of allocations for spawn() once fibers start terminating, therefore cheapening fibers even more. This does not affect having to allocate memory using mmap for the actual stack. This should also reduce memory use in the long term as this can reuse memory much more efficiently than the D conservative GC can free it.
• Reduce allocations in the reactor
• Prevent unlocking an FMutex from a fiber that does not hold it
• Add @Async and @ThreadSafe UDAs
• Basic implementation of rhapi.file.File for safer use of file I/O
  • with support for pipes (PipeEnd & Pipe)
  • stdin/out/err pipe ends easy to access correctly
• Rename FMutex to FReMutex, and make FMutex a new NON-recursive mutex
• add mixin rhMain to replace void main() { entrypoint(&realmain); }
• add more thread safe sync primitives
