23 * glib/gslice.c: spelling fixes.
25 Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
27 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
28 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
30 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
31 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
33 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
34 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
36 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
37 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
39 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
40 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
43 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
44 care of by g_slice_free1().
46 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
48 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
50 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
51 revert to memalign() otherwise.
53 * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations
56 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
58 * tests/unicode-encoding.c: Use UTF-16LE as target encoding

64 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
66 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
68 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
69 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
72 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
74 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
75 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
76 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
80 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
81 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
82 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.
84 2006-01-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
88 * === Released 2.9.4 ===
92 2006-01-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
94 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_get_groups): Correct a g_new0()
95 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
97 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
99 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
100 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
101 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
102 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
103 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
104 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
105 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
107 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
108 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

123 Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner.
125 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
127 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
129 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
130 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
131 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
132 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
133 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
135 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

166 G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS() does behave different during
169 2006-01-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
171 * glib/gslice.c: Only define _XOPEN_SOURCE if we know
172 that we have posix_memalign(). (#323937, Bogdan Nicula)
174 2006-01-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

217 * glib/gthreadpool.[ch]:
218 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
219 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
221 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
222 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with
223 no sorting and a thread pool with idle thread timeouts.

237 2006-01-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
241 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
242 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
243 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
245 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
247 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
248 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
249 will try to read from them regardless whether the
250 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
251 readability or not. (#325310)
253 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
255 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
256 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
258 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
260 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
261 make sure we really override things.
263 2005-12-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
265 Fix #316221, Michal Benes, Stanislav Brabec;
267 * configure.in: Fix a strict aliasing problem in

303 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
304 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
305 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
307 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
309 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
311 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
312 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
313 setup when the error occours.
314 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
315 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
316 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
317 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
318 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
319 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
320 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
321 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
322 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
323 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
324 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
326 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
328 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
329 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
331 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

334 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
336 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
338 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
339 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
340 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
341 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
342 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
343 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
345 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
347 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
348 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
349 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
351 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
353 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
354 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
355 write memory barrier.
357 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
359 * configure.in: Bump version

374 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
376 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
377 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
378 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
379 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
380 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
383 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
384 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
385 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
387 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
389 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
390 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
391 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
394 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
395 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
396 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
397 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
399 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
401 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
402 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
405 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
407 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
408 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
410 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
412 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
413 to override any user settings.
415 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
417 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
419 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
421 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
423 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
424 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
425 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

439 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
441 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
442 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
443 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
444 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
447 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
448 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
450 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
452 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
453 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
454 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
455 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
456 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
458 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
459 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
460 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
461 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
462 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
463 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
468 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/
470 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * glib/gasyncqueue.c: Add some docs.
474 * tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c: Fix compiler warnings.

480 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
482 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
484 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
486 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
487 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
489 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
490 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
491 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
492 up the user data based on getuid().
494 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
496 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
497 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
498 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
500 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
503 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
506 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
509 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files

514 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
516 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
518 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
521 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
522 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
524 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
526 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
527 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
529 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
531 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
532 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
534 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
536 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
537 the IA64 implementation.
539 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
541 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
543 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
545 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
546 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
548 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
550 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
551 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
553 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
554 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
556 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
558 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
560 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
561 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
562 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
563 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
565 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
567 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
568 double-free base interface members.
570 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
572 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
574 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
576 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
578 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
580 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
583 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
584 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
585 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
586 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
587 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
588 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
590 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
593 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
595 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
597 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
600 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
602 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
604 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
605 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
606 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
607 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
608 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
610 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
611 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
613 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
615 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
618 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
620 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
621 G_STMT_END if it works.

637 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
639 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
640 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
641 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
642 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
644 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
646 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
647 removed GData node cache.

678 g_hash_table_insert():
679 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
682 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and

718 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
720 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
721 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
722 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
727 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
728 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
730 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
732 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

742 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
744 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
746 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
748 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
749 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
751 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
753 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
754 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
756 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
758 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
759 in the LDADD for this test.
761 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
763 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
764 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
765 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
767 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
769 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
770 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
771 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
772 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
773 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
775 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
776 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
778 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
780 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
782 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
783 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
784 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
787 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
789 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
790 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
791 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
792 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
794 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
796 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
797 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
798 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
800 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
801 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
802 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
804 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
805 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
806 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
807 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
810 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
824 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
825 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
827 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
830 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
832 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
834 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
835 be used for poll rec lists.
837 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
838 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
839 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
840 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
841 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
842 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
844 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
846 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
847 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
849 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
850 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
852 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
854 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
856 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
858 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
859 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
862 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
864 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
865 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
867 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
869 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
870 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
871 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
872 the hash table. (#319232)
874 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
876 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
877 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
879 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
881 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
883 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
885 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
887 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
889 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
890 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
892 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
894 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
895 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
897 * glib/gunichartables.h:
899 * tests/casefold.txt:
900 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
901 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
904 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
906 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
907 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
910 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
911 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
912 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
913 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
915 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
917 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
918 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
920 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
922 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
924 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
925 (#316703, Mark Drago)
927 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
929 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
930 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
933 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
935 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
937 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
938 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
939 encodings like CP932.
941 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
943 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
945 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
946 of length 1. (#316309)
948 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
950 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
952 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
954 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
955 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
958 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
960 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
961 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
964 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
966 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
967 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
968 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
969 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
971 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
972 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
973 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
974 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
975 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
976 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
978 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
979 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
981 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
982 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
983 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
984 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
985 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
986 for the spawned console application).
988 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
990 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
992 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
993 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
995 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
996 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
998 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1000 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1001 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1003 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1004 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1005 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1006 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1007 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1008 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1010 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1011 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1012 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1013 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1016 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1018 * glib/glib.symbols:
1020 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1022 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1024 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1027 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1029 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1031 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1033 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1034 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1035 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1036 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1037 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1038 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1039 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1042 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1043 g_spawn*() functions.
1045 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1046 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1047 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1048 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1049 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1051 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1052 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1053 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1054 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1055 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1056 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1058 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1060 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1061 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1063 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1065 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1066 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1067 between signed and unsigned.
1069 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1071 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1073 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1075 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

1104 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1106 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1108 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1110 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1111 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1113 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1115 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1116 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1117 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1118 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1119 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1121 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1123 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1124 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1125 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1126 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1128 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1129 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1131 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1132 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1134 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1135 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1136 in yet another section.
