3 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
4 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
5 will try to read from them regardless whether the
6 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
7 readability or not. (#325310)
9 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
11 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
12 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
14 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
16 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
17 make sure we really override things.
19 2005-12-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
21 Fix #316221, Michal Benes, Stanislav Brabec;
23 * configure.in: Fix a strict aliasing problem in
24 g_static_mutex_get_mutex().
25 * glib/gthread.h: ...and in
26 g_static_mutex_get_mutex_impl_shortcut().
28 * glib/gdatasetprivate.h: Add a cast to silence compiler
29 warnings. (#321978, Andrew Paprocki)
31 Partial fix for bug #32937, Bogdan Nicula.
33 * configure.in: Check for malloc.h
34 * glib/gslice.c: Don't include malloc.h unconditionally.
36 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
38 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: export LC_COLLATE so it takes.
39 (#324950, Dan Yefimov)

56 2005-12-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
60 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
61 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
63 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
65 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
67 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
68 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
69 setup when the error occours.
70 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
71 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
72 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
73 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
74 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
75 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
76 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
77 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
78 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
79 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
80 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
82 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
84 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
85 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
87 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
89 * glib/goption.c (parse_short_option): Set an error in all
90 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
92 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
94 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
95 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
96 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
97 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
98 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
99 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
101 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
103 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
104 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
105 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
107 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
109 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
110 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
111 write memory barrier.
113 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
115 * configure.in: Bump version
117 * === Released 2.9.1 ===

130 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
132 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
133 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
134 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
135 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
136 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
139 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
140 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
141 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
143 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
145 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
146 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
147 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
150 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
151 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
152 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
153 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
155 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
157 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
158 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
161 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
163 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
164 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
166 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
168 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
169 to override any user settings.

179 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
180 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
181 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_
183 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Run the collation tests explicitly
184 in en_US locale. (#320463)
186 * glib/gmem.h: Really deprecate GMemChunk.
193 * glib/gstrfuncs.c: Add versioned deprecation docs.
195 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
197 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
198 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
199 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
200 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
203 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
204 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
206 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
208 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
209 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
210 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
211 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
212 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
214 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
215 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
216 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
217 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
218 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
219 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
224 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

233 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
234 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
236 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
238 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
240 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
242 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
243 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
245 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
246 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
247 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
248 up the user data based on getuid().
250 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
252 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
253 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
254 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
256 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

272 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
274 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
277 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
278 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
280 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
282 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
283 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
285 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
287 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
288 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
290 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
292 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
293 the IA64 implementation.
295 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
297 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
299 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
301 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
302 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
304 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
306 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
307 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
309 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
310 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
312 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
314 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
316 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
317 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
318 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
319 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
321 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
323 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
324 double-free base interface members.
326 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
328 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
330 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
332 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
334 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
336 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
339 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
340 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
341 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
342 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
343 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
344 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
346 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
349 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
351 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
353 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
356 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
358 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
360 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
361 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
362 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
363 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
364 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
366 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
367 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
369 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
371 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
374 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
376 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
377 G_STMT_END if it works.

390 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
391 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
393 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
395 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
396 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
397 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
398 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
400 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
402 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
403 removed GData node cache.
405 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
407 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
408 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
410 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
413 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
414 internal function which factors out common parts of
415 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
416 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
417 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
418 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
419 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
421 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
422 in the g_quarks array.
423 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
425 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
429 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
430 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
431 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
432 when refcount reaches 0.

434 g_hash_table_insert():
435 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
438 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and

484 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
486 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

491 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
493 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
494 category value against multiple values.

498 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
500 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
502 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
504 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
505 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
507 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
509 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
510 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
512 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
514 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
515 in the LDADD for this test.
517 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
519 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
520 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
521 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
523 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
525 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
526 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
527 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
528 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
529 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
531 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
532 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
534 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
536 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
538 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
539 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
540 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
543 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
545 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
546 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
547 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
548 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
550 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
552 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
553 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
554 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
556 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
557 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
558 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
560 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
561 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
562 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
563 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
566 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
580 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
581 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
583 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
586 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
588 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
590 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
591 be used for poll rec lists.
593 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
594 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
595 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
596 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
597 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
598 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.

602 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
603 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
605 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
606 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
608 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
610 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
612 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
614 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
615 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
618 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
620 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
621 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
623 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
625 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
626 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
627 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
628 the hash table. (#319232)
630 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
632 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
633 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
635 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
637 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
639 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
641 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
643 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
645 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
646 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
648 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
650 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
651 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
653 * glib/gunichartables.h:
655 * tests/casefold.txt:
656 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
657 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
660 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
662 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
663 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
666 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
667 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
668 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
669 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
671 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
673 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
674 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
676 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
678 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
680 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
681 (#316703, Mark Drago)
683 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
685 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
686 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
689 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
691 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
693 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
694 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
695 encodings like CP932.
697 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
699 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
701 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
702 of length 1. (#316309)
704 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
706 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
708 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
710 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
711 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
714 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
716 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
717 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
720 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
722 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
723 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
724 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
725 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
727 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
728 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
729 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
730 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
731 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
732 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
734 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
735 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
737 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
738 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
739 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
740 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
741 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
742 for the spawned console application).
744 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
746 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
748 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
749 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
751 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
752 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
754 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
756 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
757 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
759 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
760 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
761 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
762 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
763 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
764 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
766 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
767 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
768 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
769 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
772 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
776 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
778 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
780 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
783 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
785 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
787 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
789 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
790 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
791 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
792 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
793 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
794 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
795 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
798 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
799 g_spawn*() functions.
801 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
802 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
803 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
804 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
805 that take parameters in the system codepage.
807 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
808 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
809 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
810 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
811 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
812 need to have them permanently in the source.)
814 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
816 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
817 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
819 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
821 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
822 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
823 between signed and unsigned.
825 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
827 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
829 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
831 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
833 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
837 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
841 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
843 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
845 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
847 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
849 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
851 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
854 Optimise single-character insertions.
859 * tests/string-test.c:
860 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
862 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
864 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
866 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
867 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
869 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
871 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
872 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
873 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
874 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
875 Make use of these two throughout the code.
877 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
879 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
880 the child process and then simply return. This makes
881 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
882 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
884 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
885 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
887 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
888 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
890 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
891 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
892 in yet another section.
