Java:
- Expose host load plugin: loadInit, getCurrentLoad, getComputedFlops, getAvgLoad
+ - Hide the examples into examples/deprecated. New users should use Python.
Core:
- Replace our own code to display a backtrace (that was forking addr2line)
with the Boost.Stacktrace library.
You won't see your backtraces without this optional dependency.
+ - Bump cmake dependency to 3.5 (provided by Ubuntu 16.04).
MSG:
- Drop MSG_process_create_from_stdfunc() from the API.
This C++ function was a pimple in the C API, made necessary at some
point by the Java bindings. This is fixed now.
+ - Hide the examples into examples/deprecated. New users should use S4U.
XBT:
- Drop sg_cmdline. Please use xbt_cmdline instead.
- Drop the C xbt_os_sem_t; Use the C++ xbt::OsSemaphore.
OsSemaphore is implemented in a portable way with C++11 threads.
- This should introduce a major scalability improvement to the thread
- backend, from which Mac users and Java users will benefit for free.
+ This should allow much more threads to be created at the same time,
+ allowing Mac and Java users to simulate many more actors.
+ - Implement the 'thread' factory with std::thread instead of xbt ones.
+ It is not possible to set the stack size with threads anymore, but
+ -fsplit-stack is the way to go nowadays when using threads.
+ - Drop the xbt_os_thread_t module (now unused)
+ - Drop xbt_ex_display(), use simgrid::xbt::log_exception() instead.
Fixed bugs:
- #261: Document the parameters of parallel execution's constructor
