3 * glib/gasyncqueue.c: Add some docs.
5 * tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c: Fix compiler warnings.
7 * glib/gatomic.c: In the ia64 implementation, use
8 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
9 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
11 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
13 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
15 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
17 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
18 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
20 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
21 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
22 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
23 up the user data based on getuid().
25 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
27 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
28 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
29 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
31 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
34 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
37 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
40 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
43 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
44 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
45 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
47 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
49 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
52 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
53 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
55 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
57 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
58 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
60 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
62 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
63 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
65 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
67 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
68 the IA64 implementation.
70 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
72 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
74 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
76 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
77 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
79 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
81 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
82 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
84 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
85 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
87 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
89 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
91 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
92 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
93 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
94 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
96 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
98 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
99 double-free base interface members.
101 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
103 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
105 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
107 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
109 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
111 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
114 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
115 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
116 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
117 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
118 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
119 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
121 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
124 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
126 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
128 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
131 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
133 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
135 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
136 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
137 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
138 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
139 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
141 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
142 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
144 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
146 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
149 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
151 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
152 G_STMT_END if it works.
154 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

160 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
163 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
165 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
166 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
168 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
170 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
171 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
172 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
173 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
175 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
177 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
178 removed GData node cache.
180 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
182 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
183 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
185 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
188 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
189 internal function which factors out common parts of
190 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
191 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
192 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
193 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
194 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
196 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
197 in the g_quarks array.
198 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
200 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
204 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
205 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
206 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
207 when refcount reaches 0.
208 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
209 g_hash_table_insert():
210 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
213 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
216 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
218 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
219 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
221 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

238 * README.in: Updates.
242 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
243 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
244 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
245 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
248 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
249 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
251 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
252 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
253 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
258 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
259 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
261 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
263 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
264 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
266 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
268 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
269 category value against multiple values.
271 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
273 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>

277 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
279 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
280 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
282 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
284 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
285 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
287 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
289 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
290 in the LDADD for this test.
292 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
294 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
295 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
296 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
298 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
300 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
301 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
302 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
303 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
304 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
306 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
307 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
309 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
311 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
313 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
314 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
315 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
318 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
320 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
321 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
322 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
323 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
325 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
327 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
328 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
329 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
331 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
332 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
333 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
335 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
336 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
337 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
338 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
341 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
355 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
356 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
358 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
361 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
363 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
365 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
366 be used for poll rec lists.
368 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
369 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
370 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
371 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
372 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
373 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
375 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
377 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
378 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
380 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
381 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
383 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
385 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
387 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
389 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
390 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
393 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
395 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
396 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
398 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
400 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
401 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
402 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
403 the hash table. (#319232)
405 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
407 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
408 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
410 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
412 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
414 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
416 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
418 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
420 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
421 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
423 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
425 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
426 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
428 * glib/gunichartables.h:
430 * tests/casefold.txt:
431 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
432 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
435 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
437 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
438 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
441 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
442 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
443 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
444 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
446 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
448 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
449 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
451 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
453 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
455 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
456 (#316703, Mark Drago)
458 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
460 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
461 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
464 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
466 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
468 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
469 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
470 encodings like CP932.
472 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
474 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
476 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
477 of length 1. (#316309)
479 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
481 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
483 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
485 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
486 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
489 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
491 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
492 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
495 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
497 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
498 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
499 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
500 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
502 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
503 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
504 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
505 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
506 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
507 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
509 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
510 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
512 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
513 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
514 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
515 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
516 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
517 for the spawned console application).
519 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
521 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
523 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
524 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
526 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
527 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
529 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
531 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
532 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
534 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
535 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
536 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
537 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
538 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
539 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
541 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
542 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
543 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
544 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
547 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
551 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
553 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
555 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
558 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
560 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
562 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
564 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
565 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
566 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
567 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
568 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
569 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
570 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
573 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
574 g_spawn*() functions.
576 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
577 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
578 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
579 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
580 that take parameters in the system codepage.
582 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
583 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
584 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
585 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
586 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
587 need to have them permanently in the source.)
589 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
591 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
592 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
594 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
596 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
597 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
598 between signed and unsigned.
600 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
602 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.

639 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
641 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
642 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
644 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
646 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
647 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
648 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
649 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
650 Make use of these two throughout the code.
652 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
654 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
655 the child process and then simply return. This makes
656 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
657 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
659 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
660 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
662 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
663 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)

666 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
667 in yet another section.
