* Fix synchronization issue at thread startShadowNinja2017-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a newly spawned thread called getThreadId or getThreadHandle before the spawning thread finished saving the thread handle, then the handle/id would be used uninitialized. This would cause the threading tests to fail since isCurrentThread would return false, and if Minetest is built with C++11 support the std::thread object pointer would be dereferenced while ininitialized, causing a segmentation fault. This fixes the issue by using a mutex to force the spawned thread to wait for the spawning thread to finish initializing the thread object. An alternative way to handle this would be to also set the thread handle/id in the started thread but this wouldn't work for C++11 builds because there's no way to get the partially constructed object.
* Fix C++11 Windows build of threading codesfan52016-10-06
| | | | | | | The initial problem was that mutex_auto_lock.h tries to use std::unique_lock<std::mutex> despite mutex.h not using C++11's std::mutex on Windows. The problem here is the mismatch between C++11 usage conditions of the two headers. This commit moves the decision logic to threads.h and makes sure mutex.h, mutex_auto_lock.h and event.h all use the same features.

* Add DISABLE_CLASS_COPY macro (and use it)kwolekr2015-10-27
| | | | | | | | | Use this macro to disallow copying of an object using the assignment operator or copy constructor. This catches otherwise silent-but-deadly mistakes such as "ServerMap map = env->getMap();" at compile time. If so desired, it is still possible to copy a class, but it now requires an explicit call to memcpy or std::copy.

* Clean up threadingShadowNinja2015-08-23
* Rename everything. * Strip J prefix. * Change UpperCamelCase functions to lowerCamelCase. * Remove global (!) semaphore count mutex on OSX. * Remove semaphore count getter (unused, unsafe, depended on internal API functions on Windows, and used a hack on OSX). * Add `Atomic<type>`. * Make `Thread` handle thread names. * Add support for C++11 multi-threading. * Combine pthread and win32 sources. * Remove `ThreadStarted` (unused, unneeded). * Move some includes from the headers to the sources. * Move all of `Event` into its header (allows inlining with no new includes). * Make `Event` use `Semaphore` (except on Windows). * Move some porting functions into `Thread`. * Integrate logging with `Thread`. * Add threading test.
