46 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
47 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable

52 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
53 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
54 will try to read from them regardless whether the
55 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
56 readability or not. (#325310)

112 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
114 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
116 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
117 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
118 setup when the error occours.
119 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
120 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
121 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
122 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
123 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
124 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
125 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
126 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
127 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
128 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
129 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
131 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
133 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
134 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
136 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

143 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
144 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
145 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
146 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
147 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
148 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
150 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
152 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
153 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
154 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
156 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
158 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
159 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
160 write memory barrier.

182 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
183 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
184 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
185 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
188 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
189 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
190 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

195 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
196 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
199 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
200 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
201 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
202 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
204 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
206 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
207 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
210 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
212 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
213 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
215 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
217 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure

247 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
248 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
249 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
252 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
253 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
255 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
257 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
258 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
259 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
260 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
261 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
263 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
264 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
265 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
266 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
267 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
268 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
273 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

287 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
289 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
291 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
292 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
294 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
295 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
296 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
297 up the user data based on getuid().
299 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
301 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
302 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
303 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
305 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

355 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
356 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
358 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
359 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
361 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
363 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
365 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
366 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
367 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
368 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.

373 double-free base interface members.
375 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
377 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
379 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
381 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
383 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
385 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
388 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
389 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
390 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
391 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
392 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
393 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
395 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
398 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
400 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.

405 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
407 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
409 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
410 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
411 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
412 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
413 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
415 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
416 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

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

471 in the g_quarks array.

594 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
595 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
596 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
597 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
599 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
601 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
602 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
603 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
605 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
606 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
607 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
609 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
610 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
611 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
612 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
615 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
629 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
630 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
632 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
635 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
637 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
639 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
640 be used for poll rec lists.
642 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
643 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
644 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
645 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
646 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
647 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
649 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
651 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
652 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
654 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
655 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
657 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
659 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
661 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
663 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
664 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
667 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
669 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
670 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
672 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
674 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
675 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
676 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
677 the hash table. (#319232)
679 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
681 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
682 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
684 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
686 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
688 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
690 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
692 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
694 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
695 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
697 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
699 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
700 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
702 * glib/gunichartables.h:
704 * tests/casefold.txt:
705 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
706 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
709 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
711 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
712 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
715 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
716 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
717 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
718 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
720 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
722 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
723 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
725 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
727 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
729 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
730 (#316703, Mark Drago)
732 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
734 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
735 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
738 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
740 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
742 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
743 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
744 encodings like CP932.
746 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
748 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
750 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
751 of length 1. (#316309)
753 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
755 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
757 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
759 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
760 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
763 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
765 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
766 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
769 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
771 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
772 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
773 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
774 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
776 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
777 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
778 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
779 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
780 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
781 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
783 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
784 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
786 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
787 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
788 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
789 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
790 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
791 for the spawned console application).
793 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
795 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
797 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
798 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
800 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
801 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
803 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
805 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
806 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
808 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
809 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
810 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
811 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
812 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
813 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
815 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
816 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
817 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
818 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
821 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
825 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
827 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
829 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
832 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
834 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
836 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
838 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
839 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
840 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
841 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
842 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
843 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
844 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
847 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
848 g_spawn*() functions.
850 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
851 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
852 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
853 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
854 that take parameters in the system codepage.
856 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
857 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
858 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
859 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
860 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
861 need to have them permanently in the source.)
863 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
865 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
866 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
868 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
870 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
871 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
872 between signed and unsigned.
874 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
876 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
878 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
880 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
882 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
886 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
890 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
892 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
894 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
896 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
898 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
900 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
903 Optimise single-character insertions.
908 * tests/string-test.c:
909 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
911 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
913 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
915 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
916 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
918 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
920 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
921 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
922 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
923 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
924 Make use of these two throughout the code.
926 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
928 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
929 the child process and then simply return. This makes
930 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
931 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
933 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
934 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
936 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
937 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
939 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
940 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
941 in yet another section.
