11 2005-12-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
15 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
16 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
18 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
20 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
22 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
23 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
24 setup when the error occours.
25 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
26 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
27 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
28 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
29 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
30 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
31 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
32 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
33 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
34 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
35 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
37 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
39 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
40 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

49 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
50 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
51 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
52 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
53 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
54 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
56 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

116 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
118 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since

153 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
154 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
155 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).

159 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
161 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
163 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
164 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
165 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
166 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
167 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
169 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
170 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
171 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
172 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
173 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
174 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
179 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

188 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
189 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
191 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
193 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
195 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
197 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
198 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
200 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
201 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
202 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
203 up the user data based on getuid().
205 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
207 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
208 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
209 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
211 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

242 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
243 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)

252 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
254 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
256 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
257 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
259 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
261 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
262 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
264 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
265 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
267 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
269 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
271 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
272 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
273 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
274 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
276 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
278 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
279 double-free base interface members.
281 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
283 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
285 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
287 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
289 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
291 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
294 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
295 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
296 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
297 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
298 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
299 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
301 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
304 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
306 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
308 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
311 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
313 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
315 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
316 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
317 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
318 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
319 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
321 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
322 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
324 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
326 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
329 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
331 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
332 G_STMT_END if it works.

340 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
343 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
345 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
346 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
348 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
350 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
351 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
352 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
353 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
355 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
357 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
358 removed GData node cache.
360 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
362 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
363 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
365 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
368 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
369 internal function which factors out common parts of
370 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
371 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
372 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
373 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
374 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
376 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
377 in the g_quarks array.
378 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
380 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
384 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
385 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
386 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
387 when refcount reaches 0.
388 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
389 g_hash_table_insert():
390 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
393 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
396 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
398 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused

439 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
441 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
443 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

457 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
459 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
460 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
462 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
464 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
465 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
467 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
469 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
470 in the LDADD for this test.
472 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
474 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
475 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
476 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
478 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
480 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
481 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
482 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
483 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
484 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
486 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
487 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
489 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
491 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
493 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
494 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
495 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
498 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
500 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
501 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
502 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
503 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
505 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
507 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
508 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
509 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
511 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
512 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
513 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
515 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
516 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
517 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
518 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
521 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
535 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
536 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
538 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
541 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
543 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
545 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
546 be used for poll rec lists.
548 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
549 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
550 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
551 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
552 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
553 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
555 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
557 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
558 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
560 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
561 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
563 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
565 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
567 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
569 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
570 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
573 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
575 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
576 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
578 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
580 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
581 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
582 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
583 the hash table. (#319232)
585 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
587 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
588 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
590 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
592 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
594 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
596 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
598 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
600 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
601 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
603 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
605 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
606 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
608 * glib/gunichartables.h:
610 * tests/casefold.txt:
611 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
612 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
615 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
617 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
618 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
621 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
622 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
623 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
624 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
626 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
628 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
629 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
631 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
633 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
635 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
636 (#316703, Mark Drago)
638 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
640 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
641 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
644 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
646 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
648 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
649 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
650 encodings like CP932.
652 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
654 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
656 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
657 of length 1. (#316309)
659 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
661 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
663 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
665 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
666 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
669 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
671 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
672 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
675 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
677 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
678 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
679 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
680 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
682 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
683 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
684 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
685 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
686 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
687 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
689 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
690 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
692 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
693 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
694 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
695 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
696 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
697 for the spawned console application).
699 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
701 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
703 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
704 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
706 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
707 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
709 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
711 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
712 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
714 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
715 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
716 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
717 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
718 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
719 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
721 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
722 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
723 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
724 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
727 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
731 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
733 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
735 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
738 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
740 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
742 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
744 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
745 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
746 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
747 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
748 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
749 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
750 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
753 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
754 g_spawn*() functions.
756 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
757 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
758 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
759 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
760 that take parameters in the system codepage.
762 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
763 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
764 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
765 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
766 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
767 need to have them permanently in the source.)
769 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
771 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
772 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
774 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
776 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
777 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
778 between signed and unsigned.
780 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
782 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
784 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
786 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
788 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
792 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
796 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
798 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
800 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
802 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
804 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
806 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
809 Optimise single-character insertions.
814 * tests/string-test.c:
815 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
817 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
819 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
821 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
822 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
824 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
826 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
827 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
828 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
829 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
830 Make use of these two throughout the code.
832 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
834 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
835 the child process and then simply return. This makes
836 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
837 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
839 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
840 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
842 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
843 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
845 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
846 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
847 in yet another section.
