3 Bug 556101 – static mutex yields warnings with g++
6 * configure.in: added an intermediate cast to gpointer
8 2008-10-13 Christian Persch <chpe@gnome.org>
10 Bug 555311 – format not a string literal and no format arguments
13 * glib/gshell.c: Use literal errors where appropriate.
15 2008-10-10 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
17 Bug 551355 – [PATCH] Make glib build with libtool 2.2
19 * autogen.sh: Accept libtool 2.2. We are moving towards having
22 2008-10-10 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
24 * configure.in: With libtool 2.x, regenerate libtool early.

29 Bug 554557 – Patch to fix gcc warnings about missing format
34 * glib/grel.c: Fix gcc warnings. Patch by Kjartan Maraas
36 2008-10-10 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
38 Bug 552861 – glib-2.0.m4 calls system(3) without storing its result
40 * m4macros/glib-2.0.m4: Cosmetic change to make -Werror happy.
41 Patch by Andreas Köhler
43 2008-10-08 Christian Persch <chpe@gnome.org>
45 Bug 555313 – GFileAttribute boxed type get_type function should
46 use usual get_type pattern
48 * gio/gfileattribute.c (g_file_attribute_info_list_get_type): Use
49 g_once_init_enter/leave.
51 2008-10-08 Christian Persch <chpe@gnome.org>
53 Bug 555314 – mem leak in gmarkup
55 * glib/gmarkup.c: (g_markup_parse_context_parse): Plug a mem leak.
57 2008-10-08 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
59 Bug 554790 - g_convert() misbehaves with winiconv versions
61 * glib/win_iconv.c (kernel_mbtowc): If converting from ASCII,
62 explicitly check for and reject 8bit chars. MultiByteToWideChar()
63 doesn't, at least not on XP.
65 2008-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
67 * glib/gtypes.h: Properly include gmacros.h
69 2008-10-06 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
71 Bug 555309 – giochannel breaks on error
72 Patch from Christian Persch
74 * glib/giounix.c (g_io_unix_read), (g_io_unix_write),
75 (g_io_unix_seek), (g_io_unix_close), (g_io_unix_set_flags):
76 Don't shadow err. Oops!
78 2008-10-06 Christophe Fergeau <teuf@gnome.org>
80 Bug 555224 – Improve g_format_size_for_display doc
82 * glib/gfileutils.c: change g_format_size_for_display API doc to
83 explicitly say that the returned string has to be freed. Change
84 spelling of "newly allocated" to "newly-allocated" in g_file_read_link
85 API doc to be more consistent with what is done in that file.
87 2008-10-01 David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
89 * README.in: Add "Notes about glib 2.20" section detailing the
90 ramifications of the patch from bug #528670.
92 2008-09-30 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
94 Bug 554092 – glib doesn't return G_FILE_ERROR_NOENT et al on OS X
96 * glib/giounix.c (g_io_unix_read), (g_io_unix_write),
97 (g_io_unix_seek), (g_io_unix_close), (g_io_unix_set_flags),
98 (g_io_unix_get_flags), (g_io_channel_new_file):
99 Like mclasen says: "well, thats the way errno works...,
100 save it or loose it". Save errno.
102 2008-09-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
105 * glib/tests/Makefile.am: Bypass gtester related stuff on Windows.
107 2008-09-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
110 * glib/gnulib/vasnprintf.c: Don't define _GNU_SOURCE on Windows,
111 as _GNU_SOURCE has unintended side effects when compiling against
112 newest mingw headers.
114 2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
116 Bug 553447 – g_assert_no_error()
118 * glib/gtestutils.h (g_assert_no_error, g_assert_error): Macros to
119 assert that a GError is not set, or else is set to a particular
122 * glib/gtestutils.c (g_assertion_message_error): utility for
125 * glib/tests/keyfile.c:
126 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
127 * tests/bookmarkfile-test.c:
128 * tests/convert-test.c:
129 * tests/file-test.c: Use g_assert_error/g_assert_no_error
131 2008-09-26 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
133 * glib/gthreadpool.c (wakeup_thread_marker): make this a "const
134 gpointer" rather than a gconstpointer to avoid warnings later
136 * glib/pcre/pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c:
137 * glib/pcre/pcre_valid_utf8.c: #include "config.h"
139 * glib/tests/printf.c (test_d): fool gcc into not warning about
140 some printf format strings that we know are dubious
142 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
144 Bug 553857 – gbacktrace.h requires signal.h
146 * glib/gbacktrace.h: Include signal.h for raise().
147 Pointed out by Sebastien Bacher
149 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
151 Bug 553724 – python interpretter path not patched in correctly
153 * glib/Makefile.am: Fix the sed magic to replace python.
155 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
157 * glib/gmain.c: Add some more docs.
159 * glib/giochannel.c: Move more docs inline, and improve them
162 2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
164 Bug 553820 - gpoll.c: undeclared identifier
167 * glib/gpoll.c: Make the g_poll() function non-static also on
168 Windows. Prefix an underscore to the g_main_poll_debug variable
169 and make it non-static in gmain.c so that it can be used in
170 gpoll.c. Add back missing variable declaration.
172 2008-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
174 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes) (do_spawn_directly):
175 Just ignore the child_setup function, never call it. The is no
176 situation in which it could be useful on Windows. Do print a
177 warning, like before.
179 * glib/gspawn.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Corresponding change
182 2008-09-24 Sven Herzberg <sven@imendio.com>
184 Be a little more explcit in the docs. Includes Owen's requested
187 * glib/gmain.c: improved documentation for g_source_attach() and
190 2008-09-23 Michael Natterer <mitch@imendio.com>
192 * glib/glib.h: #include <glib/gpoll.h>
194 * glib/gpoll.h: #error out if gpoll.h is included directly.
196 * glib/gpoll.c: remove trailing whitespace.
198 2008-09-23 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
200 * glib/gpoll.[ch] (g_poll): Move this out of gmain.c and make it part
201 of the public API. (Part of Bug 505361 - gunixinputstream.c assumes
204 2008-09-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
206 * glib/gmain.c (poll_rest) [Win32]: Fix embarrassing bug: I was
207 passing an incorrect third parameter to memmove(), had forgotten
208 to multiply by the size of the table entry. Just use a for loop
209 instead, clearer. Odd I didn't notice when testing this code.
211 2008-09-19 Hans Petter Jansson <hpj@novell.com>
213 Rewrite most of GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic
214 probing instead of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory
215 fragmentation significantly, while being slightly faster due to
216 better locality and no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes.
217 Benchmarks suggest it also uses less memory overall.
219 * glib/ghash.c (prime_mod): Table of suitable primes for
220 initial-probe distribution.
221 (g_hash_table_set_shift): New function.
222 (g_hash_table_find_closest_shift): New function.
223 (g_hash_table_set_shift_from_size): New function.
224 (g_hash_table_lookup_node_for_insertion): New function.
225 (g_hash_table_lookup_node): Rewritten to return node index instead of
226 pointer, use quadratic probe on flat table, and not return insertion
227 data. The latter saves some computation for read-only lookups.
228 (g_hash_table_remove_node): Rewrite to take a pointer directly to the
229 node structure to remove, and clear that. Remove unlinking code.
230 (g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes): Rewrite to not clear nodes
231 individually, but en masse using memset () after potentially calling
233 (iter_remove_or_steal): Use new data structure and algorithm. Vastly
234 simplified - now just a call to g_hash_table_remove_node ().
235 (g_hash_table_resize): New resize code, re-indexing with new prime
236 and cleaning up tombstones.
237 (g_hash_table_maybe_resize): Table may hold 8 buckets minimum, no less
238 than 1/4 load excluding tombstones, and no more than 15/16 load
239 including tombstones. These numbers are the results of a lot of
240 benchmarking with multiple complex applications, and should not be
242 (g_hash_table_iter_next)
243 (g_hash_table_lookup)
244 (g_hash_table_lookup_extended)
245 (g_hash_table_insert_internal)
246 (g_hash_table_remove_internal)
247 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal)
248 (g_hash_table_foreach)
250 (g_hash_table_get_keys)
251 (g_hash_table_get_values): Use new data structure and algorithm,
252 fairly trivial changes.
254 2008-09-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
256 * glib-zip.in: Look for man pages in share/man.
258 * glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_dll_directory)
259 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes): Be a bit less
260 restrictive, look for the helper programs in the same folder where
261 the GLib DLL is, not necessarily in a "bin" subfolder of the top
262 GLib installation folder.
264 2008-09-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
266 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.19.0
268 * ChangeLog.pre-2-18: rotate ChangeLog
