From 87fce1923fcc8d6ef508500475c149082dc9d338 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Crowe Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2020 14:25:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Use std::chrono::steady_clock as atomic_futex reference clock The user-visible effect of this change is that std::future::wait_for now uses std::chrono::steady_clock to determine the timeout. This makes it immune to changes made to the system clock. It also means that anyone using their own clock types with std::future::wait_until will have the timeout converted to std::chrono::steady_clock rather than std::chrono::system_clock. Now that use of both std::chrono::steady_clock and std::chrono::system_clock are correctly supported for the wait timeout, I believe that std::chrono::steady_clock is a better choice for the reference clock that all other clocks are converted to since it is guaranteed to advance steadily. The previous behaviour of converting to std::chrono::system_clock risks timeouts changing dramatically when the system clock is changed. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/bits/atomic_futex.h (__atomic_futex_unsigned): Change __clock_t typedef to use steady_clock so that unknown clocks are synced to it rather than system_clock. Change existing __clock_t overloads of _M_load_and_text_until_impl and _M_load_when_equal_until to use system_clock explicitly. Remove comment about DR 887 since these changes address that problem as best as we currently able. --- libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h index 507c5c90610..4375129f34d 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/atomic_futex.h @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION template class __atomic_futex_unsigned : __atomic_futex_unsigned_base { - typedef chrono::system_clock __clock_t; + typedef chrono::steady_clock __clock_t; // This must be lock-free and at offset 0. atomic _M_data; @@ -169,7 +169,7 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION unsigned _M_load_and_test_until_impl(unsigned __assumed, unsigned __operand, bool __equal, memory_order __mo, - const chrono::time_point<__clock_t, _Dur>& __atime) + const chrono::time_point& __atime) { auto __s = chrono::time_point_cast(__atime); auto __ns = chrono::duration_cast(__atime - __s); @@ -229,7 +229,6 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION _M_load_when_equal_until(unsigned __val, memory_order __mo, const chrono::time_point<_Clock, _Duration>& __atime) { - // DR 887 - Sync unknown clock to known clock. const typename _Clock::time_point __c_entry = _Clock::now(); const __clock_t::time_point __s_entry = __clock_t::now(); const auto __delta = __atime - __c_entry; @@ -241,7 +240,7 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION template _GLIBCXX_ALWAYS_INLINE bool _M_load_when_equal_until(unsigned __val, memory_order __mo, - const chrono::time_point<__clock_t, _Duration>& __atime) + const chrono::time_point& __atime) { unsigned __i = _M_load(__mo); if ((__i & ~_Waiter_bit) == __val) -- 2.30.2
