108 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
109 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc

339 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
341 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
343 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
345 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
346 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
347 setup when the error occours.
348 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
349 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
350 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
351 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
352 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
353 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
354 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
355 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
356 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
357 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
358 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
360 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
362 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
363 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

372 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
373 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
374 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
375 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
376 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
377 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
379 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
381 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
382 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
383 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
385 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
387 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
388 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
389 write memory barrier.

418 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
419 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

482 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
484 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
486 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
487 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
488 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
489 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
490 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
492 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
493 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
494 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
495 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
496 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
497 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

521 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
523 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
524 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
525 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
526 up the user data based on getuid().

610 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
612 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
614 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
617 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
618 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
619 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
620 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
621 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
622 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
624 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
627 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
629 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
631 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
634 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
636 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
638 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
639 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
640 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
641 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
642 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
644 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
645 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
647 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
649 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
652 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
654 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
655 G_STMT_END if it works.
657 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
659 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

662 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
663 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
666 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
668 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
669 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
671 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
673 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
674 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
675 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
676 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
678 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
680 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
681 removed GData node cache.
683 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
685 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
686 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
688 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
691 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
692 internal function which factors out common parts of
693 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
694 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
695 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
696 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
697 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
699 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
700 in the g_quarks array.
701 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
703 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
707 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
708 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
709 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
710 when refcount reaches 0.
711 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
712 g_hash_table_insert():
713 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
716 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
719 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
721 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
722 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
724 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
726 * configure.in: Bump version

739 * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api.
741 * README.in: Updates.
745 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
746 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
747 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
748 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
751 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
752 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
754 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
755 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
756 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
761 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
762 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
764 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
766 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
767 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
769 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
771 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
772 category value against multiple values.
774 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
776 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
778 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
780 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
782 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
783 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
785 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
787 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
788 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
790 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
792 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
793 in the LDADD for this test.
795 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
797 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
798 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
799 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
801 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
803 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
804 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
805 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
806 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
807 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
809 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
810 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
812 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
814 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
816 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
817 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
818 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
821 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
823 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
824 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
825 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
826 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
828 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
830 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
831 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
832 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
834 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
835 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
836 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
838 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
839 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
840 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
841 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
844 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
858 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
859 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
861 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
864 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
866 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
868 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
869 be used for poll rec lists.
871 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
872 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
873 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
874 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
875 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
876 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
878 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
880 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
881 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
883 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
884 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
886 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
888 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
890 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
892 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
893 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
896 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
898 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
899 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
901 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
903 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
904 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
905 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
906 the hash table. (#319232)
908 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
910 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
911 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
913 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
915 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
917 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
919 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
921 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
923 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
924 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
926 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
928 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
929 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
931 * glib/gunichartables.h:
933 * tests/casefold.txt:
934 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
935 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
938 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
940 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
941 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
944 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
945 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
946 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
947 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
949 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
951 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
952 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
954 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
956 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
958 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
959 (#316703, Mark Drago)
961 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
963 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
964 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
967 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
969 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
971 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
972 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
973 encodings like CP932.
975 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
977 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
979 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
980 of length 1. (#316309)
982 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
984 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
986 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
988 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
989 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
992 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
994 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
995 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
998 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1000 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
1001 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1002 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
1003 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
1005 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1006 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1007 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1008 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1009 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1010 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1012 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1013 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1015 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1016 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1017 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1018 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1019 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1020 for the spawned console application).
1022 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1024 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1026 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1027 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1029 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1030 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1032 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1034 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1035 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1037 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1038 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1039 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1040 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1041 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1042 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1044 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1045 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1046 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1047 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1050 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1052 * glib/glib.symbols:
1054 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1056 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1058 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1061 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1063 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1065 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1067 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1068 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1069 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1070 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1071 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1072 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1073 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1076 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1077 g_spawn*() functions.
1079 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1080 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1081 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1082 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1083 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1085 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1086 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1087 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1088 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1089 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1090 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1092 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1094 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1095 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1097 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1099 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1100 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1101 between signed and unsigned.
1103 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1105 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1107 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1109 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1111 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1115 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1119 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>

1137 * tests/string-test.c:
1138 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1140 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1142 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1144 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1145 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1147 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1149 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1150 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1151 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1152 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1153 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1155 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1157 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1158 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1159 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1160 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1162 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1163 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1165 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1166 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1168 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1169 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1170 in yet another section.
