3 Bug 554557 – Patch to fix gcc warnings about missing format
8 * glib/grel.c: Fix gcc warnings. Patch by Kjartan Maraas
10 2008-10-10 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
12 Bug 552861 – glib-2.0.m4 calls system(3) without storing its result
14 * m4macros/glib-2.0.m4: Cosmetic change to make -Werror happy.
15 Patch by Andreas Köhler
17 2008-10-08 Christian Persch <chpe@gnome.org>
19 Bug 555313 – GFileAttribute boxed type get_type function should
20 use usual get_type pattern
22 * gio/gfileattribute.c (g_file_attribute_info_list_get_type): Use
23 g_once_init_enter/leave.
25 2008-10-08 Christian Persch <chpe@gnome.org>
27 Bug 555314 – mem leak in gmarkup
29 * glib/gmarkup.c: (g_markup_parse_context_parse): Plug a mem leak.
31 2008-10-08 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
33 Bug 554790 - g_convert() misbehaves with winiconv versions
35 * glib/win_iconv.c (kernel_mbtowc): If converting from ASCII,
36 explicitly check for and reject 8bit chars. MultiByteToWideChar()
37 doesn't, at least not on XP.
39 2008-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
41 * glib/gtypes.h: Properly include gmacros.h
43 2008-10-06 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
45 Bug 555309 – giochannel breaks on error
46 Patch from Christian Persch
48 * glib/giounix.c (g_io_unix_read), (g_io_unix_write),
49 (g_io_unix_seek), (g_io_unix_close), (g_io_unix_set_flags):
50 Don't shadow err. Oops!
52 2008-10-06 Christophe Fergeau <teuf@gnome.org>
54 Bug 555224 – Improve g_format_size_for_display doc
56 * glib/gfileutils.c: change g_format_size_for_display API doc to
57 explicitly say that the returned string has to be freed. Change
58 spelling of "newly allocated" to "newly-allocated" in g_file_read_link
59 API doc to be more consistent with what is done in that file.
61 2008-10-01 David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
63 * README.in: Add "Notes about glib 2.20" section detailing the
64 ramifications of the patch from bug #528670.
66 2008-09-30 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
68 Bug 554092 – glib doesn't return G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT et al on OS X
70 * glib/giounix.c (g_io_unix_read), (g_io_unix_write),
71 (g_io_unix_seek), (g_io_unix_close), (g_io_unix_set_flags),
72 (g_io_unix_get_flags), (g_io_channel_new_file):
73 Like mclasen says: "well, thats the way errno works...,
74 save it or loose it". Save errno.
76 2008-09-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
79 * glib/tests/Makefile.am: Bypass gtester related stuff on Windows.
81 2008-09-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
84 * glib/gnulib/vasnprintf.c: Don't define _GNU_SOURCE on Windows,
85 as _GNU_SOURCE has unintended side effects when compiling against
88 2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
90 Bug 553447 – g_assert_no_error()
92 * glib/gtestutils.h (g_assert_no_error, g_assert_error): Macros to
93 assert that a GError is not set, or else is set to a particular
96 * glib/gtestutils.c (g_assertion_message_error): utility for
99 * glib/tests/keyfile.c:
100 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
101 * tests/bookmarkfile-test.c:
102 * tests/convert-test.c:
103 * tests/file-test.c: Use g_assert_error/g_assert_no_error
105 2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
107 * glib/gthreadpool.c (wakeup_thread_marker): make this a "const
108 gpointer" rather than a gconstpointer to avoid warnings later
110 * glib/pcre/pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c:
111 * glib/pcre/pcre_valid_utf8.c: #include "config.h"
113 * glib/tests/printf.c (test_d): fool gcc into not warning about
114 some printf format strings that we know are dubious
116 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
118 Bug 553857 – gbacktrace.h requires signal.h
120 * glib/gbacktrace.h: Include signal.h for raise().
121 Pointed out by Sebastien Bacher
123 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
125 Bug 553724 – python interpretter path not patched in correctly
127 * glib/Makefile.am: Fix the sed magic to replace python.
129 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
131 * glib/gmain.c: Add some more docs.
133 * glib/giochannel.c: Move more docs inline, and improve them
136 2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
138 Bug 553820 - gpoll.c: undeclared identifier
141 * glib/gpoll.c: Make the g_poll() function non-static also on
142 Windows. Prefix an underscore to the g_main_poll_debug variable
143 and make it non-static in gmain.c so that it can be used in
144 gpoll.c. Add back missing variable declaration.
146 2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
148 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes) (do_spawn_directly):
149 Just ignore the child_setup function, never call it. The is no
150 situation in which it could be useful on Windows. Do print a
151 warning, like before.
153 * glib/gspawn.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Corresponding change
156 2008-09-24 Sven Herzberg <sven@imendio.com>
158 Be a little more explcit in the docs. Includes Owen's requested
161 * glib/gmain.c: improved documentation for g_source_attach() and
164 2008-09-23 Michael Natterer <mitch@imendio.com>
166 * glib/glib.h: #include <glib/gpoll.h>
168 * glib/gpoll.h: #error out if gpoll.h is included directly.
170 * glib/gpoll.c: remove trailing whitespace.
172 2008-09-23 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
174 * glib/gpoll.[ch] (g_poll): Move this out of gmain.c and make it part
175 of the public API. (Part of Bug 505361 - gunixinputstream.c assumes
178 2008-09-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
180 * glib/gmain.c (poll_rest) [Win32]: Fix embarrassing bug: I was
181 passing an incorrect third parameter to memmove(), had forgotten
182 to multiply by the size of the table entry. Just use a for loop
183 instead, clearer. Odd I didn't notice when testing this code.
185 2008-09-19 Hans Petter Jansson <hpj@novell.com>
187 Rewrite most of GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic
188 probing instead of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory
189 fragmentation significantly, while being slightly faster due to
190 better locality and no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes.
191 Benchmarks suggest it also uses less memory overall.
193 * glib/ghash.c (prime_mod): Table of suitable primes for
194 initial-probe distribution.
195 (g_hash_table_set_shift): New function.
196 (g_hash_table_find_closest_shift): New function.
197 (g_hash_table_set_shift_from_size): New function.
198 (g_hash_table_lookup_node_for_insertion): New function.
199 (g_hash_table_lookup_node): Rewritten to return node index instead of
200 pointer, use quadratic probe on flat table, and not return insertion
201 data. The latter saves some computation for read-only lookups.
202 (g_hash_table_remove_node): Rewrite to take a pointer directly to the
203 node structure to remove, and clear that. Remove unlinking code.
204 (g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes): Rewrite to not clear nodes
205 individually, but en masse using memset () after potentially calling
207 (iter_remove_or_steal): Use new data structure and algorithm. Vastly
208 simplified - now just a call to g_hash_table_remove_node ().
209 (g_hash_table_resize): New resize code, re-indexing with new prime
210 and cleaning up tombstones.
211 (g_hash_table_maybe_resize): Table may hold 8 buckets minimum, no less
212 than 1/4 load excluding tombstones, and no more than 15/16 load
213 including tombstones. These numbers are the results of a lot of
214 benchmarking with multiple complex applications, and should not be
216 (g_hash_table_iter_next)
217 (g_hash_table_lookup)
218 (g_hash_table_lookup_extended)
219 (g_hash_table_insert_internal)
220 (g_hash_table_remove_internal)
221 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal)
222 (g_hash_table_foreach)
224 (g_hash_table_get_keys)
225 (g_hash_table_get_values): Use new data structure and algorithm,
226 fairly trivial changes.
228 2008-09-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
230 * glib-zip.in: Look for man pages in share/man.
232 * glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_dll_directory)
233 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes): Be a bit less
234 restrictive, look for the helper programs in the same folder where
235 the GLib DLL is, not necessarily in a "bin" subfolder of the top
236 GLib installation folder.
238 2008-09-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
240 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.19.0
242 * ChangeLog.pre-2-18: rotate ChangeLog
244 * === branch for 2.18 ===
