* osdep: rename atomics.h to atomic.hwm42016-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | The standard header is stdatomic.h, so the extra "s" freaks me out every time I look at it.
* win32: input: use Vista CancelIoExJames Ross-Gowan2015-12-201-56/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libwaio was added due to the complete inability to cancel synchronous I/O cleanly using the public Windows API in Windows XP. Even calling TerminateThread on the thread performing I/O was a bad solution, because the TerminateThread function in XP would leak the thread's stack. In Vista and up, however, this is no longer a problem. CancelIoEx can cancel synchronous I/O running on other threads, allowing the thread to exit cleanly, so replace libwaio usage with native Vista API functions. It should be noted that this change also removes the hack added in 8a27025 for preventing a deadlock that only seemed to happen in Windows XP. KB2009703 says that Vista and up are not affected by this, due to a change in the implementation of GetFileType, so the hack should not be needed anymore.
* pipe-win32: possible fix for Windows XP deadlockJames Ross-Gowan2014-12-111-0/+10
| | | | | This fixes a hang with the VirtualBox OpenGL drivers. It might help with #1325 as well.
* input: use libwaio for pipe input on Windowswm42014-09-141-0/+91
Use libwaio to read from pipes (stdin or named pipes) on Windows. This liberates us from nasty issues, such as pipes (as created by most programs) not being possible to read in a non-blocking or event-driven way. Although it would be possible to do that in a somewhat sane way on Vista+, it's still not easy, and on XP it's especially hard. libwaio handles these things for us. Move pipe.c to pipe-unix.c, and remove Windows specific things. Also adjust the input.c code to make this work cleanly.
