make data argument const.

[glib.git] / ChangeLog.pre-2-4

Wed Sep  2 19:13:28 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * garray.c glib.h (g_array_[ap/pr]epend_vals): make
        data argument const.

Wed Aug 26 06:32:40 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gstrfuncs.c: new function g_strnfill() to return a new string
        of specified length, filled with a specific character.

Tue Sep  1 23:46:31 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@axis.hip.berkeley.edu>

        * testglib.c (main): Update the array tests.  Reduce the number of
        iterations for the prepend test from 10000 to 100 since it is
        O(n^2) and was taking longer than I would like to wait.

        * garray.c: I've worked on the GArray interface, mostly.  It was
        seriously broken before and I hate to do it, but this is going to
        break some code.  It is important to do this now, because more and
        more people are starting to use glib and the interface was both
        broken and inconsistent.  First, rename the _truncate functions of
        both the GArray and GPtrArray classes to _set_size, since this
        function can also be used to extend the arrays.  GArray now
        accepts two more initialization arguments: clear and element_size.
        Instead of providing the type to each access function, the array
        now stores the element size.  Clear, if set, causes the library to
        zero element's memory as the array expands.  The major broken-ness
        here was that array->len was in bytes, not elements.  Now, since
        the array knows its element size, array->len is correct and I have
        removed the g_array_length macro.  The only macro which now
        accepts the type as an argument is g_array_index, which casts the
        element to the right type--this interface does not change.  The
        append and prepend functions simply need the types removed.
        g_ptr_array_remove_index now returns the removed element.

        * gprimes.c (g_spaced_primes_closest): Move this function out of
        ghash.c and rename it from g_hash_closest_prime.  Fix the primes
        so that they are actually prime (they weren't all -- isn't that
        nice?).

Mon Aug 24 02:08:56 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gstring.c:
        * gstrfuncs.c:
        (g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically
        exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named
        differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from
        vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for
        problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and
        was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a
        guararant for problems with threaded programs.
        (g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return
        a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully
        expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling.
        in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than
        required.
        (g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string
        containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is
        calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()).
        (g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf().

        * configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively.
        check whether va_lists can be copyied by value.

        * glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY.

        * glib.h:
        * gmessages.c:
        (g_logv):
        (g_vsnprintf):
        pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems
        on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use
        G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second
        va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all
        callers.

        * glib.h:
        * gerror.h:
        renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit.
        renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both
        functions cluttered different namespaces.
        there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the
        unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions.
        removed g_attach_process().
        g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution,
        i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable
        after invokation of this function.

1998-08-18: Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        . In gmem.c, add the ability to exclude memory chunks from the
          memory profiling information.

Tue Aug 18 18:23:09 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c: added g_strndup

Tue Aug 18 04:40:17 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmessages.c: new function g_log_set_always_fatal() to set an
        additional fatal_mask for log levels that are considered to be fatal
        globally (required by gtk). since this mask is not domain-associated,
        it is restricted to the log levels, introduced by glib itself.

        * gmem.c:
        * grel.c:
        * gtree.c (g_tree_node_check):
        don't use g_print() calls for informational/debugging output,
        but log all this stuff through g_log() with G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO.
        libraries shouldn't use printf(), g_print() or g_printerr() at all.

Tue Aug 18 02:46:44 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>


        * glib.h (__STRICT_ANSI__): if __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined, make
        `inline' a noop, since strict ANSI rules don't permit `inline'.

Mon Aug 17 15:21:42 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * grel.c: made private functions static.

Sun Aug 16 23:23:46 CDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * gmodule/Makefile.am: added gmodule-dl.c and gmodule-dld.c to
          EXTRA_DIST
        * glib.spec: version = 1.1.3

Mon Aug 17 01:46:14 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.m4: feature an extra MODULES parameter, so glib-config can
        be invoked with the "gmodule" argument.

        * glib.h: changed the log level to G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL for all
        g_return*_if_fail statements, and made them issue a message
        like "assertion `%s' failed".

        * gmessages.c (g_logv): ugh, don't pass log_domain as NULL to
        g_log_find_domain.

Sun Aug 16 20:28:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0.

        * glib.h: be nice to platforms that don't have gint64 and don't
        issue #warning on every compilation. since glib doesn't require
        gint64 itself, packages that need gint64 should test for this
        themselves.

        * glib.h:
        * gutils.c: added a new function g_vsnprintf().

Sun Aug 16 Elliot Lee

        glib.h: #error out if we don't recognize the SIZEOF_VOID_P
                #warning if no gint64

Fri Aug 14 16:41:53 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added static inline functions for bit mask tests:
        g_bit_nth_lsf, g_bit_nth_msf and g_bit_storage.

Fri Aug 13 14:23:37 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmessages.c:
        revised the message handling system, which is now based on a new
        mechanism g_log*. most of the assertment macros got adapted to
        feature the new g_log() call with an additional specification of
        the log level in a preprocessor macro G_LOG_DOMAIN. if G_LOG_DOMAIN
        is undefined upon the includion of glib.h, it'll be defined with a
        value of (NULL) and thus preserves the original bahaviour for
        warning and error messages. the message handler setting functions
        for g_warning, g_error and g_message are only provided for backwards
        compatibility and might get removed somewhen.

        * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain
        to "GLib" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition
        to the DEFS variable.
        * testglib.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start
        of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target
        _CFLAGS yet.

        * glib.h: changed some gints to gbooleans, made a few const corrections,
        removed some superfluous G_STMT_START{}G_STMT_END wrappers, added some
        in other required places.

        * gnode.c:
        (g_node_prepend):
        (g_node_insert_before):
        (g_node_insert):
        (g_node_append_data):
        (g_node_prepend_data):
        (g_node_insert_data_before):
        (g_node_insert_data):
        (g_node_append):
        return (node), so these macros/functions can be usefully chained with
        g_node_new().

Mon Aug 10 17:56:11 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h: it's GTime now, and it's back!

Mon Aug 10 02:17:19 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am: minor hack to cause SUBDIRS (gmodule) to be build
        last. we do this by making all-recursive-am depend on all-am.

Sun Aug  9 15:56:11 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added GModule checks. generate files in gmodule/.
        * glib-config.in: support library specifications `glib' and `gmodule'.
        * Makefile.am: feature the gmodule/ subdir.

Wed Aug  5 10:04:29 PDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.1.2

Wed Aug 05 01:15:36 1998  George Lebl  <jirka@5z.com>

        * testglib.c: fix 64-bitness in g_prints, sizeof doesn't
          seem to return int so I cast it for printing, probably
          just cosmetic

Tue Aug  4 19:54:06 PDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gkt.org>

        * Released GLib 1.1.1

Tue Aug  4 15:17:54 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: version bump to 1.1.1, binary age 1, interface age 0.
        * NEWS: updates.
        * README: updates.
        * INSTALL: updates and fixes.
        * COPYING: include the GNU LGPL, rather than shipping an empty file.
        * AUTHORS: listed original authors here, and added people who made
        significant improvements to glib.

        * glib.h:
        * gutils.c: implement g_get_current_dir() which returns a newly
        allocated string, instead of a g_getcwd() variant that operates
        on a static buffer.
        export glib_interface_age and glib_binary_age.
        as a convenience, macro definitions have been added for
        g_node_insert_data, g_node_insert_data_before, g_node_append_data and
        g_node_prepend_data.

        * testglib.c: minor cleanups, print current dir.

Mon Aug  3 16:02:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gnode.c: change order of gpointer data; field in struct _GNode to
        be partly binary compatible with GList and GSList.

1998-08-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * garray.c (g_ptr_array_remove_index): bugfix: index check for
        array has been wrong.

Fri Jul 31 22:17:05 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * testglib.c (g_node_test): added a GNode test.

Fri Jul 31 09:08:16 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am: compile gnode.c.

        * glib.h:
        * gnode.c: added implementation of n-way trees.

        * gtree.c (g_tree_traverse): added a warning to the switch() statement
        which says that G_LEVEL_ORDER is not implemented.

Mon Jul 27 00:17:30 CDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.1.0

Mon Jul 27 01:02:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: #if 0'ed out the GTime definition, until it is definitively
        needed. #if 0'ed out the g_getcwd() version, because it is the wrong
        implementation.

Sat Jul 25 16:09:00 1998  Mark Crichton <crichton@expert.cc.purdue.edu>

        * glib.h: gtime changed to g_time.  gtime is used in
        /usr/include/time.h in NetBSD, causing multiple headaches.
        If this isn't the right way of fixing it.... ;)

Thu Jul 23 00:29:14 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gscanner.c: new functions to make a scanner scope sensitive wrt
        symbol lookups.
        g_scanner_scope_foreach_symbol, g_scanner_scope_lookup_symbol,
        g_scanner_scope_remove_symbol, g_scanner_scope_add_symbol and
        g_scanner_set_scope.
        g_scanner_add_symbol, g_scanner_remove_symbol and
        g_scanner_foreach_symbol are now aliases for scope 0.

Mon Jul 20 23:05:34 1998  George Lebl  <jirka@5z.com>

        * glib.h: typo fixed for alphas for gint64

Tue Jul 14 09:05:18 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gutils.c: new fuction g_dirname() which returns a newlly
        allocated string.

Fri Jul 10 06:33:43 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gutils.h: added a bunch of utility/wrapper functions:
        g_basename(), g_getcwd(), g_get_user_name(), g_get_real_name(),
        g_get_home_dir(), g_get_tmp_dir(), g_get_prgname() and g_set_prgname().

        * gutils.c: removed all g_str* functions.
        * gstrfuncs.c: moved the bunch g_str* functions from gutils.c in this
        place. this file shall never include <unistd.h> to avoid clashes for
        some of the g_str* functions on some OSes.

Fri Jul 10 00:29:03 EEST 1998 Lauri Alanko <nether@gimp.org>

        * glib.h:
        * ghash.c: Renamed g_hash_table_lookup_full to
        g_hash_table_lookup_extended to conform with naming conventions.

Tue Jul  7 03:18:58 EEST 1998 Lauri Alanko <nether@gimp.org>

        * glib.h:
        * ghash.c: Generic cleanup, added a function:
        (g_hash_table_lookup_full): Return whether the lookup succeeded,
        and also retrieve the key and value. This allows one to
        distinguish between failed lookup and finding a NULL, and also
        allows one to free a key in the hash.

Mon Jul  6 10:12:05 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * ltconfig: fix for properly detecting shared lib support on
        SunPro cc (taken from libtool 1.2.a)

Sat Jul  4 13:38:52 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h: added g_array_length

Tue Jun 30 11:58:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): take symbol_2_token into
        account. react on valid/invalid string pairs.

Sat Jun 27 21:55:46 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.m4: ftp.glib.org -> ftp.gtk.org, since glib.org isn't
        ours. ;)

Fri Jun 19 03:11:02 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c: removed g_dataset_try_key, g_dataset_force_id and
        g_dataset_retrive_key in favour of GQuarks.
        a GQuark is an numeric id wich is associated with a certain string.
        (g_quark_try_string): try to get the quark associated with this string,
        if the lookup failed return 0.
        (g_quark_from_string): get the associated quark for a string, if there
        isn't currently a GQuark associated with this string, then allocate a
        new quark and return that.
        (g_quark_from_static_string): like the above function, but the string
        isn't strdup()ed to save memory.
        (g_quark_to_string): get the string that is associated with a certain
        GQuark.

        * gdataset.c (g_dataset_id_set_data_full): invoke the destroy function
        _after_ the new data has been setup.

Thu Jun 18 02:35:21 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: Changed messages for g_return_[val]_if_fail to
        be somewhat more clear: assertion "blah" failed.

1998-06-18  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * testglib.c (main): Use GINT_TO_POINTER casts to remove compiler
        warnings.

        * grel.c: #include <string.h>

Fri Jun 12 15:39:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (GScanner): cleanups of the structure fields (binary
        incompatible).

Fri Jun 12 00:39:28 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@icw.EECS.Berkeley.EDU>

        * glib.h: add new hash and equal functions g_int_*.  complement
        g_direct_hash with g_direct_equal.

        * grel.c: new file, GRelations implement tuples of N-N mappings.
        A comment in glib.h briefly describes the interface.

        * ghash.c: new function, g_hash_table_size

        * glib.h: new typedefs, gsize, gssize, gtime.

        * garray.c: new functions implementing a simplified GArray.  This
        GPtrArray is an array of gpointers and has functions to add and
        remove elements, much like java.lang.Vector.

        * garray.c: new functions for the single-byte special case of
        GArray.  The functions g_byte_array* operate on arrays of bytes.
        Internally, a GArray is used.

        * testglib.c: tests for g_ptr_array, g_byte_array, and g_relation...

1998-06-11  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * gdataset.c: #include <string.h>

Thu Jun 11 04:15:31 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gdataset.c: new function g_dataset_retrive_key. adjusted prealloc
        sizes, to take up less space on initial allocation.

1998-06-10  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * acinclude.m4: New file.  Contains `libtool.m4' from libtool-1.2,
        the version from which glib's libtool forked.  Needed for people
        who use post-1.2 alphas of libtool.
        * configure.in (enable_mem_check, enable_mem_profile): Replace
        `echo -n' with AC_MSG_CHECKING.
        (fd_set): Explain test for `fd_set' better.

Wed Jun 10 19:29:51 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am glib.m4 configure.in:

        Moved out from GTK+; added AM_PATH_GLIB macro.

Wed Jun 10 12:56:07 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: renamed g_const_pointer => gconstpointer

Tue Jun  9 17:47:33 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: Remove #error - HP/UX.

Sat May 23 19:00:01 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
  [ Combination of:
     gtk-rrh-980412-0.patch (Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>)
     gtk-jbuhler-980516-0 (Jeremy Buhler <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>) ]

        * glib.h ghash.c gstring.c gdataset.c gutils.c:
        - Added new typedef g_const_pointer; expunged all incorrect
          uses of 'const gpointer'.
        - Fixed up warnings that that created,
        - Changed GHashFunc and GCompareFunc to take g_const_pointer
          arguments. (Necessary, but will cause warnings in existing
          code until fixed)
        - Added other new const in harmless positions.

Mon Jun  8 01:06:47 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added enum-helper macros for code generation.
        added G_BREAKPOINT().

Sat Jun  6 14:09:22 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        like g_chunk_new() with additional 0 initialization.

Mon Jun  1 04:43:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghash.c (g_hash_table_insert): wrote a comment describing why
        a hash node's key should not also get replaced when overriding
        previous entries.

Tue May 26 18:30:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

Wed May 20 05:02:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: conditionally define NULL, FALSE and TRUE.
        (g_mem_chunk_create): new convenience macro as a short hand for
        g_mem_chunk_new().

Sun May 17 10:48:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): provide usefull default
        specifications for identifier_spec and symbol_spec.

        * glib.h: new functions g_slist_nth_data and g_list_nth_data to return
        the data of the nth element in the list.

Fri May 15 22:31:49 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): removed spurious va_end(args)
        that for some reason didn't produce a compiler wrning on my machine
        (is va_end undefined for i386?).

Fri May 15 12:32:08 1998  rodo  <doulik@karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * gscanner.c: replaced some snprintf with g_snprintf

Fri May 15 00:56:59 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

Thu May 14 04:14:12 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: typedef gint gboolean;
        this is needed to provide portability with big-endian platforms (e.g.
        try sizeof(bool) for c++ on big-endians - it's 4).
        this is also needed to maintain some_union.d_gint==some_union.d_gboolean.
        plus, gint to gboolean casts and vice versa need to be possible without
        loss.

Tue May 12 19:22:58 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib/glib.h: Added macros G[U]INT_TO_POINTER() and

        const to arguments.

        * gutils.c (g_strsignal.c): Added missing return statements.

Mon May 11 21:11:54 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * gutils.c gmessages.c: Moved g_error, g_warning, g_message and
        g_print from gutils.c to new file gmessages.c, to avoid having to
        include <unistd.h> in gutils.c which was causing problems for the
        g_strsignal implementation on FreeBSD boxes.

Mon May 11 09:53:43 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: preserve automake CFLAGS.

        * Makefile.am: fully rename the created library to libglib-1.1.la.
        this means we need to change certain portions of the Makefile.am on
        major/minor version bumps.

        * ltmain.sh: the -release option is not required anymore.

        * glib.h: provide G_GNUC_FUNCTION and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION to
        avoid conditionals. unconditionally define NULL, TRUE, FALSE, MAX,
        MIN, ABS and CLAMP, these macros might be screwed from other headers.

Mon May 11 01:44:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c: new file, gdatasets implement the object data
        mechanism from GtkObject. a generic data pointer is associated with
        a certain location and a key id.

Sat May  9 20:08:12 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib/gmem.c: Experimentally restore GMemChunk
        to its primeval state - where mem areas are
        freed incrementally instead of searching the tree
        every time a mem area is completely empty. Also,
        always keep one mem chunk around. (Reduced calls
        to malloc() a lot, but doesn't really improve
        performance significiantly)

Thu May  7 08:17:28 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (G_GNUC_PRINTF):
        (G_GNUC_SCANF): macros to facilitate the printf/scanf format argument
        checking of gcc.

        * gstring.c: const corrections, string!=NULL checks at function entry.
        (g_string_down): new function for tolower(3) conversion.
        (g_string_up): new function for toupper(3) conversion.

        (g_strup): g_string_up() counterpart.

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token):
        (g_scanner_error):
        (g_scanner_warn): new functions to let a scanner put out warnings
        or errors, especially to react on unexpected tokens.

        * gslist.c:
        (g_slist_index): find out about about the position of a
        certain data pointer.
        (g_slist_position): find out about about the position of a
        certain node.

        * glist.c:
        (g_list_index): find out about about the position of a
        certain data pointer.

Thu May  7 05:14:19 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ltmain.sh: added a new commandline flag -postfix similar to -release,
        but will immediately change the library name.

        * Makefile.am: specify -postfix and -version-info

        * configure.in: version bump to 1.1.0. added GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE and
        GLIB_BINARY_AGE. calculate LT_* variables for libtool.

Fri May  1 16:36:08 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        taking tolower, and account for macroized tolower.

        * gutils.c (g_error): Check for recursion.

1998-04-27  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@cuc.ml.org>

        * glist.c (g_list_position): New function to find the position of
        a link in a list - should be the inverse of g_list_nth(), but
        haven't tested it so poof.

Thu Apr 30 21:41:30 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * gstring.c : Check arguments more carefully,
        (gtk-draco-980423-1.patch; ramsey@rhrk.uni-kl.de)

Tue Apr  7 19:36:48 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gutils.c (g_direct_compare): Removed, because that's what
        a NULL comparison function means. And it wasn't 64 bit safe.

Mon Apr  6 18:43:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): fixed a bug that caused floats
        of the format ".xxx" to be parsed as "xxx".

Fri Apr  3 20:36:35 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): Make debug string

Wed Mar 25 15:23:37 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * Makefile.am: Switched glibconfig.h rule from HEADERS
        to DATA, so that it is not added to DISTFILES

Wed Mar 18 22:27:08 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * garray.c: g_rarray_truncate length done correctly

Sun Mar 15 07:13:34 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gimp.org>

        * gutils.c: changed *_handler variables to be named glib_*_handler,
        so you can easily access them from gdb.

Sat Mar 14 17:47:43 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * Makefile.am: Don't refer to current directory as $(top_builddir)
        to avoid confusing non-gmakes

Sat Mar 14 01:37:35 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * Makefile.am (configincludedir): Moved glibconfig.h to
          $(pkglibdir)/include

Tue Mar 10 02:03:12 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gimp.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_destroy_symbol_table_entry): new function to
        free symbol table entries upon destruction
        (gtk-gronlund-980309-0.patch.gz).

Mon Mar  9 15:02:21 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gimp.org>

        * glib.h: changed *_length functions to return guint.
        changed *_nth functions to take guint as argument.

        * glist.c: adapted g_list_length and g_list_length.

        * gslist.c: adapted g_slist_length and g_slist_length.

Mon Mar  2 17:51:18 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * glib.h gutils.c : changed g_strcasecmp
          to take gchar* not guchar*

        * testglib.c: Remove trailing ; after functions

Sun Mar  1 19:04:40 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * glib.h gstring.c: Added g_string_insert[_c]()

          so elements are always inserted, even if they compare
          equal with another.

Thu Feb 12 22:48:11 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gstring.c glib.h: removed deprecated g_string_equal
          and g_string_hash.

        * configure.in: Add check to see if the C library's
          iswalnum can actually be used. (Not true for
          Linux libc-5.4.38)

Sat Feb  7 11:48:09 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gstring.c gutils.c: added some additional consts in
          appropriate places to remove a warning

Sat Feb  7 11:15:54 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gutils.c: include <ctype.h> for tolower()

Fri Jan 30 23:57:17 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * added and autoconfigured in a new utility function

        * glib.h: list iterator macros now check for NULL pointers

Tue Jan 27 09:46:57 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gstring.c: g_string_prepend and g_string_prepend_c had
        interchanged src and dest parameters for g_memmove. Fixed.

Tue Jan 27 01:38:52 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gslist.c: fixed a really, really lame error. g_slist_insert
        didn't hook the data in! Reworked the routine to reflect the
        functionality of g_list

Wed Jan 21 01:13:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

Fri Jan  9 20:03:46 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

        * gutils.c (g_strerror): changed message for EAGAIN from
        "no more processes" to "try again" since EAGAIN is used with
        functions else than fork().

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): use strtol() instead of
        strtoul() to avoid conflicts with solaris.

        * merged the glib portions from Jan 2 to Jan 7 out of gtk+/ChangeLog
        into this file.

        * glib_pre1.h:
        * glib_pre2.h:
        * glib.h: reverted glibconfig.h and glib.h files back to the
        way they were before my ugly hack.

        * gscanner.c: removed inlines from clist and gscanner

Tue Dec 23 02:49:51 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

        * gscanner.c: new file for GScanner: Flexible lexical scanner for
        general purpose.
        * glib_pre2.h: added GScanner includes. added g_strconcat and g_strtod.
        gutils.c (g_strconcat): new function for string concatenation of NULL
        terminated parameter list.
        (g_strtod): new function to perform best string to double conversion
        with or without consideration of the current locale.

Mon Dec 15 19:33:58 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

        * glist.c: minor optimizations:
        (g_list_append): `if' optimized for common code path, commented out
        unneccessary `assert', saved one variable assignment.
        (g_list_prepend): saved two (conditioned) variable assignment.
        (g_list_insert): saved one  (conditioned) variable assignment,
        saved one variable assignment.
        (g_list_remove): `if' optimized for common code path, saved two
        variable assignments by using `g_list_free_1' (which is even
        faster) instead of `g_list_free'.
        (g_list_reverse): saved allocation of one variable, saved one
        variable assignment.

Wed Dec 10 23:27:20 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

        * glib_pre1.h:
        * glib_pre2.h:
        * glib.h: this file now gets concatenated by makeglib_h from
        glib_pre1.h and glib_pre2.h to merge in glibconfig.h wich got
        created by configure (done by Jay Painter).

        * glib_pre2.h: the g_assert*() and g_return_*_fail() macros
        are wrapped by G_STMT_START and G_STMT_END now, to avoid conflicts
        when used within if (...) g_macro(); else ... conditionals.

Tue Dec 17 13:14:07 1996  Peter Mattis  <pmattis@charnley.HIP.Berkeley.EDU>

        * glib.h: Changed 'g_return_if_fail' and 'g_return_val_if_fail' to
        not call 'g_string' but to simply stringify the
        expression. Calling 'g_string' causes the expression to be
        expanded which is undesired.

Sun Dec  1 01:30:48 1996  Peter Mattis  <pmattis@charnley.HIP.Berkeley.EDU>

        * Started ChangeLog
