3 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
4 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
5 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
7 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

16 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
19 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
20 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
21 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
23 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
25 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.

38 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
39 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
41 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
43 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
44 the IA64 implementation.
46 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
48 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
50 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
52 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
53 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
55 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
57 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
58 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
60 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
61 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
63 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
65 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
67 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
68 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
69 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
70 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
72 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
74 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
75 double-free base interface members.
77 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
79 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
81 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
83 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
85 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
90 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
91 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
92 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
93 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
94 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
95 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
97 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
100 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
102 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
104 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
107 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
109 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
111 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
112 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
113 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
114 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
115 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
117 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
118 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
120 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
122 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
125 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
127 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
128 G_STMT_END if it works.

141 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
142 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
144 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
146 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
147 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
148 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
149 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
151 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
153 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
154 removed GData node cache.
156 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
158 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
159 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
161 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
164 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
165 internal function which factors out common parts of
166 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
167 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
168 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
169 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
170 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
172 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
173 in the g_quarks array.
174 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
176 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
180 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
181 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
182 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
183 when refcount reaches 0.
184 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
185 g_hash_table_insert():
186 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
189 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
192 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
194 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
195 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)

214 * README.in: Updates.
218 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
219 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
220 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
221 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
224 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
225 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
227 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
228 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
229 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
234 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
235 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
237 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
239 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
240 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
242 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
244 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
245 category value against multiple values.
247 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
249 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
251 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
253 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
255 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
256 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
258 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
260 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
261 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
263 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
265 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
266 in the LDADD for this test.
268 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
270 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
271 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
272 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
274 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
276 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
277 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
278 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
279 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
280 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
282 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
283 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
285 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
287 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
289 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
290 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
291 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
294 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
296 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
297 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
298 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
299 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
301 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
303 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
304 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
305 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
307 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
308 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
309 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
311 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
312 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
313 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
314 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
317 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
331 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
332 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
334 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
337 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
339 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
341 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
342 be used for poll rec lists.
344 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
345 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
346 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
347 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
348 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
349 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
351 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
353 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
354 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
356 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
357 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
359 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
361 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
363 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
365 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
366 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
369 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
371 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
372 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
374 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
376 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
377 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
378 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
379 the hash table. (#319232)
381 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
383 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
384 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
386 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
388 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
390 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
392 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
394 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
396 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
397 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
399 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
401 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
402 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
404 * glib/gunichartables.h:
406 * tests/casefold.txt:
407 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
408 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
411 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
413 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
414 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
417 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
418 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
419 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
420 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
422 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
424 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
425 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
427 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
429 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
431 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
432 (#316703, Mark Drago)
434 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
436 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
437 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
440 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
442 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
444 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
445 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
446 encodings like CP932.
448 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
450 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
452 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
453 of length 1. (#316309)
455 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
457 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
459 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
461 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
462 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
465 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
467 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
468 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
471 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
473 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
474 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
475 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
476 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
478 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
479 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
480 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
481 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
482 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
483 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
485 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
486 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
488 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
489 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
490 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
491 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
492 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
493 for the spawned console application).
495 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
497 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
499 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
500 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
502 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
503 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
505 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
507 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
508 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
510 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
511 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
512 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
513 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
514 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
515 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
517 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
518 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
519 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
520 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
523 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
527 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
529 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
531 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
534 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
536 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
538 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
540 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
541 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
542 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
543 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
544 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
545 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
546 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
549 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
550 g_spawn*() functions.
552 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
553 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
554 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
555 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
556 that take parameters in the system codepage.
558 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
559 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
560 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
561 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
562 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
563 need to have them permanently in the source.)
565 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
567 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
568 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
570 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
572 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
573 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
574 between signed and unsigned.
576 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
578 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
580 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
582 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
