Bug fixes, portability enhancements, and small functionality enhancements

  • Fixed several generic warnings (thanks michel-slm!)
  • cpuRelax added for PowerPC and ARM (thanks barracuda156!)
  • Added missing header (thanks ryandesign!)
  • Try to detect and add libatomic when required (thanks for discussions barracuda156!)
  • Enable small buffers from small buffer allocators to go down to 4 bytes (thanks for discussion David Caruso!). This is handy for 32-bit builds where pointers are typically 4 bytes
  • Ensure that NOMINMAX is propagated for CMake Windows builds (thanks SeaOtocinclus!)
  • Fix some cases using std::make_shared for types requiring large alignment, which is a bug prior to C++17 (thanks for help finding these SeaOtocinclus!)
  • Set up CI on GitHub Actions, including builds for Mac and Windows in addition to Linux (thanks SeaOtocinclus!)
  • Add an envinronment variable DISPENSO_MAX_THREADS_PER_POOL to limit max number of threads available to any thread pool. In the spirit of OMP_NUM_THREADS. (thanks Yong-Chull Jang!)
  • Slight change of behavior w.r.t. use of maxThreads option in ForEachOptions and ParForOptions to limit concurrency the same way in both blocking and non-blocking for_each and parallel_for (thanks Arnie Yuan!)
  • Various fixes to enable CMake builds on various 32-bit platforms (thanks for discussions barracuda156!)
  • Updates to README

Known Issues:

  • Large subset of dispenso tests are known to fail on 32-bit PPC Mac. If you have access to such a machine and are willing to help debug, it would be appreciated!
  • NewThreadInvoker can have a program shutdown race on Windows platforms if the threads launched by it are not finished running by end of main()
