3 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
4 funcitons, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
5 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
6 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
8 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
10 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
11 removed GData node cache.
13 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
15 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
16 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
18 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
21 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
22 internal function which factors out common parts of
23 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
24 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
25 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
26 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
27 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
29 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
30 in the g_quarks array.
31 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
33 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
37 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
38 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
39 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
40 when refcount reaches 0.
41 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
42 g_hash_table_insert():
43 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
46 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and

75 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
76 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
77 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
78 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)

82 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
84 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
85 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
86 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
91 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
92 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
94 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
96 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
97 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
99 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
101 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
102 category value against multiple values.

110 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
112 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
113 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
115 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
117 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
118 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
120 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
122 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
123 in the LDADD for this test.
125 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
127 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
128 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
129 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
131 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
133 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
134 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
135 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
136 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
137 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
139 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
140 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
142 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
144 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
146 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
147 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
148 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
151 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
153 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
154 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
155 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
156 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
158 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
160 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
161 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
162 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
164 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
165 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
166 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
168 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
169 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
170 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
171 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
174 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
188 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
189 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
191 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
194 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
196 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
198 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
199 be used for poll rec lists.
201 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
202 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
203 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
204 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
205 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
206 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
208 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
210 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
211 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
213 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
214 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
216 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
218 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
220 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
222 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
223 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
226 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
228 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
229 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
231 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
233 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
234 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
235 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
236 the hash table. (#319232)
238 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
240 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
241 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
243 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
245 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
247 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
249 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
251 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
253 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
254 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
256 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
258 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
259 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
261 * glib/gunichartables.h:
263 * tests/casefold.txt:
264 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
265 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
268 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
270 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
271 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
274 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
275 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
276 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
277 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
279 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
281 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
282 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
284 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
286 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
288 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
289 (#316703, Mark Drago)
291 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
293 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
294 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
297 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
299 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
301 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
302 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
303 encodings like CP932.
305 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
307 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
309 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
310 of length 1. (#316309)
312 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
314 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
316 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
318 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
319 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
322 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
324 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
325 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
328 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
330 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
331 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
332 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
333 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
335 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
336 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
337 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
338 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
339 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
340 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
342 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
343 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
345 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
346 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
347 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
348 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
349 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
350 for the spawned console application).
352 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
354 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
356 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
357 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
359 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
360 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
362 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
364 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
365 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
367 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
368 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
369 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
370 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
371 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
372 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
374 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
375 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
376 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
377 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
380 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
384 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
386 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
388 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
391 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
393 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
395 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
397 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
398 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
399 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
400 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
401 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
402 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
403 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
406 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
407 g_spawn*() functions.
409 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
410 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
411 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
412 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
413 that take parameters in the system codepage.
415 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
416 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
417 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
418 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
419 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
420 need to have them permanently in the source.)
422 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
424 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
425 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
427 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
429 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
430 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
431 between signed and unsigned.
433 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
435 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
437 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
439 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
441 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
445 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
449 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
451 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
453 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
455 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
457 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
459 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
462 Optimise single-character insertions.
467 * tests/string-test.c:
468 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
470 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
474 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
475 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
477 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
479 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
480 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
481 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
482 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
483 Make use of these two throughout the code.
485 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
487 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
488 the child process and then simply return. This makes
489 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
490 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
492 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
493 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
495 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
496 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
498 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
499 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
500 in yet another section.
