GUSI 2 -- A multithreaded POSIX library INTRODUCTION GUSI is an extension and partial replacement of the standard C runtime library supplied with your compiler. The main objective of GUSI is to faciliate the porting of software written for UNIX systems by implementing a substantial subset of the Single Unix Specification library routines: - BSD style sockets. - Pthreads. - Many other POSIX facilities such as diropen(). REQUIREMENTS To use GUSI, you need one of the following compilers: - Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or later. - SC/SCpp 8.8.4d1c1 or later. - MrC/MrCpp 4.1.0a6c1 or later. GETTING STARTED If you're new to GUSI, start by reading the manual in :doc:GUSI.pdf. If you're using GUSI with the Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE, also read :doc:GUSI_CW_Guide.pdf if you haver any difficulties getting your first GUSI project to compile/link. If you're using GUSI in combination with the MPW shell and/or the MPW compilers, please run GUSI_Install.MPW. For more details, please consider reading the documentation in the doc folder. To recompile GUSI with the MPW compilers, you need an STL library. I've found STLport, available at http://www.stlport.org/download.shtml, to work perfectly for my purposes. To install it, put it anywhere on your disk and run STLport_Install.MPW. Current versions of GUSI have been compiled with STLport 3.1.2.

Version 2.0b7 04Aug99 - Adapted to CodeWarrior Pro 5. - Updated documentation. - Tried to clarify license and added pointer to donations page. Version 2.0b6 01Aug99 (Happy 708th birthday, Switzerland!) - Philippe Lang convinced me to support the SO_ERROR socket option, and while I was at it, I supported as many socket options as I reasonably could (mostly on Open Transport). - Found out that the member fields of a struct timespec are named tv_xxx, not ts_xxx, thanks to W. Richard Stevens' sample code. - Fixed conditional macros in sys/un.h [Michel Rabozee]. - Calling MSL __close_all() turned out not to have been such a hot idea. Version 2.0b5 19Jul99 - Rick Waits correctly pointed out that most of the new files promised in b4 were actually missing. - Fixed bug in MacTCP UDP code [Philippe Lang]. - Specified bool support in Example project so it would compile again [Rick Waits].

Version 2.0b2 07Jun99 - Added support for SC[pp] and MrC[pp] compilers. I compiled with SCpp 8.8.4d1c1 and MrCpp 4.1.0a5c3, and intend to maintain the code for newer, but not older versions of these compilers. Unfortunately, Stdio does not work yet when using GUSI with MrCpp due to shared library conflicts. I intend to support sfio for SC and MrC in the near future, though. - Added back STDIN_FILENO & co. Fixed various bad comments in header guards [Chris Jacobson]. - select for OpenTransport datagram (UDP) sockets was broken [Philippe Lang]. - Allow recursive locks for mutexes. - Added a CodeWarrior project files to simplify rebuilds. - Some more work on PPC sockets. Version 2.0b1 14Apr99 - Added support for broadcast and multicast options [Tom Bayley, Quinn]. - Rewrote GUSIConfig in C++. - Brought documentation up to date. - Event handling for AppleEvents was broken [Chris Jacobson]. - Changed auto-spin default to off, as this feature has less importance in GUSI II and can easier be turned on with configuration files. - Introduced GUSIContextFactory to add more flexibility to GUSIContext creation. Made switching in and out fully virtualized. - Massively improved and simplified the handling of race conditions in wakeups [George Warner & Quinn] - Added support for the DCon debugging console, and also switched to DCon for our own debugging output. - Added support for the PPC (Program-to-program communications) toolbox. - Fixed several bugs in Open Transport support. - Removed GUSIwithThreading, which is no longer necessary. Version 2.0a4 22Nov98 - Since my Mac is getting packed up, a hasty and somewhat incomplete, but interesting release. - Changed configuration system to explicit configuration files created with GUSI_Configurator. This change is not reflected in the examples yet. - Added OpenTransport TCP/IP support (finally!) Version 2.0a3 25Oct98 - Added MacTCP UDP support, SIOUX support, MSG_PEEK support. - Fixed many bugs. - Started adapting old test programs in Examples Version 2.0a2 11Oct98 - Much more feature complete version: Added most file routines and domain name support. - Incorporated as much as I could of Michel Rabozee's excellent feedback. Version 2.0a1 02Aug98 - A sneak peek to give an impression of the flavor of the new facilities in GUSI2. This version is far from feature complete, lacking most file routines, UDP support, support for AppleTalk, OpenTransport support, and support of the domain name resolver.
