2018-09-12	rework mechanism for posix_spawnp calling posix_spawn	Rich Felker	-1/+3
	previously, a common __posix_spawnx backend was used that accepted an additional argument for the execve variant to call in the child. this moderately bloated up the posix_spawn function, shuffling arguments between stack and/or registers to call a 7-argument function from a 6-argument one. instead, tuck the exec function pointer in an unused part of the (large) pthread_spawnattr_t structure, and have posix_spawnp duplicate the attributes and fill in a pointer to __execvpe. the net code size change is minimal, but the weight is shifted to the "heavier" function which already pulls in more dependencies. as a bonus, we get rid of an external symbol (__posix_spawnx) that had no really good place for a declaration because it shouldn't have existed to begin with.
2017-04-22	add no-op POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK to spawn.h	Rich Felker	-0/+1
	the bit is reserved anyway for ABI-compat reasons; this documents it and makes it so we can have posix_spawnattr_setflags check for flag validity without hard-coding an anonymous bit value.
2017-04-22	implement new posix_spawn flag POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID	Rich Felker	-0/+1
	this functionality has been adopted for inclusion in the next issue of POSIX as the result of Austin Group issue #1044. based on patch by Daurnimator.
2012-11-27	fix some restrict-qualifier mismatches in newly added interfaces	Rich Felker	-2/+2
	these should have little/no practical impact but they're needed for strict conformance.
2012-11-11	add support for thread scheduling (POSIX TPS option)	Rich Felker	-0/+5
	linux's sched_* syscalls actually implement the TPS (thread scheduling) functionality, not the PS (process scheduling) functionality which the sched_* functions are supposed to have. omitting support for the PS option (and having the sched_* interfaces fail with ENOSYS rather than omitting them, since some broken software assumes they exist) seems to be the only conforming way to do this on linux.
2012-09-08	remove all remaining redundant __restrict/__inline/_Noreturn defs	Rich Felker	-5/+1

2012-09-06	use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008	Rich Felker	-11/+17
	to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99 compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form [restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.
2011-09-13	fix various errors in function signatures/prototypes found by nsz	Rich Felker	-2/+2

2011-05-28	initial implementation of posix_spawn	Rich Felker	-0/+67
	file actions are not yet implemented, but everything else should be mostly complete and roughly correct.
