I have finally implemented the ARM64 version. It was lots of fun working with your project on Apple M1. Would you please check whether this version fits the project?

Thanks

:D Based on your tips, i removed these instructions which saves caller Link Register into aContext->mCallerReturnAddress. I thought it was meant for debugging purposes but as you mentioned, we can remove the instructions because lr is saved into stack at L68.

A new api is added to detect stack growth whether it is downward or upward , by recursion. Here is the algorithm :

1. Save depth into baseptr as base stack pointer.
2. Recurs ( pushes previous registers into stack upon entry ) .
3. Compare baseptr with latest value of { int depth } .
4. If Stack is descending then (baseptr - depth) must be positive and ( depth + (baseptr - depth ) ) must be equal to baseptr, Otherwise Stack is ascending .

Thanks

• Add PREFIX option to makefile to allow overriding of install location. Currently installs into /usr whereas on FreeBSD 3rd-party software installs into /usr/local.
• Don't add -O2 to CFLAGS when on FreeBSD. Optimizations are set by the ports system and can be overridden by users.

Once this is merged I'll create a FreeBSD port/package and submit it for inclusion in the ports tree.

Use relative addressing in the assembly code. Remove warning in strsplit example. Add clock_gettime() substitute for time_slice1 example. Don't use uname -o for Darwin in the makefiles. Tested on OS X 10.11.5/Core i7-4770HQ (x86_64) and for regressions on CentOS 7.1/Xeon E5-2699 v4 (x86_64).

I'd prefer to change the makefiles differently (don't use -o at all, instead use -a and findstring to parse the system name) but this is a more minimal change.

Edit: closes #9.

In the readme it indicates as being compatible for linux and windows. However, it is not clear how to achieve this on windows.

Could you please provide instructions on how to build on windows with MSVC and how to setup a simple sample?

If possible, a CMake build system could be very useful for this kind of cross-platform library.

Thank you.

libconcurrent is now in the ports tree: https://www.freshports.org/devel/libconcurrent

There was some fallout from the package build on FreeBSD 9. With the recent changes to the makefile we don't need to set CC and LD anymore on FreeBSD. The problem is that this prevents setting of the correct compiler on FreeBSD 9. I've just updated the port to remove those lines but it would be great if this can be merged :)

Corrected small error in code documentation.

str lr, [r0, r2]. In this case, address of link register is stored at mCallerReturnAddress not lr = mCallerReturnAddress.

Oups, I just blindly updated the old code and didn't realized that if stack size is multiple of 16, but the stack is not aligned, only the stack beginning is corrected, not it's size. Thus the first push into the stack will overflow the buffer.

There are some fixes I made while I was trying to use libconcurrent. I didn't want to create a pull request for each one, you can cherry-pick specific commits if you don't like all of these.

cbdb5b0 removed executable bit from non executable files 8efb89c this one took me a while to figure out. Some glibc/libstdc++ functions use xmm registers on x86_64, but it will segfault if it tries to push/save an xmm register to the stack if it's only 8 byte aligned. They're 128bit registers, so they need 16 byte alignment. 1fcf974 added missing .gitignore f21f9f3 stripping the static library gives libconcurrent.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one when I try to later link it with a command.
