RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.19  06-Nov-2021  riastradh pslist(9): No need to serialize pserialize_perform any more.

So take it out of the mutex section.
 1.18  03-Jul-2017  wiz Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.
 1.17  07-Jul-2016  ozaki-r Constify some arguments of pslist(9) functions

By doing so, callers don't need to discard const qualifier.
 1.16  27-Apr-2016  ozaki-r Fix declaration of PSLIST_READER_FIRST
 1.15  11-Apr-2016  riastradh Clarify wording about when to use PSLIST_ENTRY_DESTROY.
 1.14  11-Apr-2016  riastradh Remove incorrect comment about non-effect of PSLIST_ENTRY_DESTROY.

This does have an effect -- it nullifies the next pointer. (The text
was copied from PSLIST_DESTROY, which really has no effect without
options DIAGNOSTIC.)
 1.13  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Parrot markup for PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER synopsis.
 1.12  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Use the proper pluralization of `frotz'.

Per the jargon file, `frotz' is a contraction of `frobnitz', which
pluralizes to `frobnitzem'; `frobbotzim' is the plural of the related
but not identical term `frobozz'.

Fixing other uses of this plural elsewhere among the man pages is
left to the reader inclined to humorous linguistic studies.
 1.11  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Say `loop header', not `loop head'.

`Head' means something else in this context -- a list head.
 1.10  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Fix a vestige of an earlier word choice: s/connected/associated/1
 1.9  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Fix wording around `list heads'.

A list head is not a list, conceptually.
 1.8  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Tighten opening paragraph. Split into two smaller sentences.
 1.7  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Use imperative mood consistently.
 1.6  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Fix missing NAME operand to PSLIST_ENTRY_DESTROY.
 1.5  09-Apr-2016  uwe Use \(em for em-dash.
 1.4  09-Apr-2016  uwe Add couple of missing .Ns
 1.3  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Add passive references, intermediate between pserialize and refcount.

API is still experimental and likely to change. (Obvious changes:
either remove extra arguments everywhere, or shrink psref_target to a
single bit, at the expense of possibly valuable diagnostic checks.)
Should do some real testing before we use this in anger!
 1.2  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Fix name of example list head.
 1.1  09-Apr-2016  riastradh Introduce pserialize-safe linked lists.

These are like LIST_* from queue(3), but issue the appropriate memory
barriers for pserialize readers and writers.
