4 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
5 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
8 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
9 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
10 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
11 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
13 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
15 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
16 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
19 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
21 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
22 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
24 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
26 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
27 to override any user settings.
29 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
31 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
33 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
35 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
37 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
38 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
39 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_
41 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Run the collation tests explicitly
42 in en_US locale. (#320463)
44 * glib/gmem.h: Really deprecate GMemChunk.
51 * glib/gstrfuncs.c: Add versioned deprecation docs.
53 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
55 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
56 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
57 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
58 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
61 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
62 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
64 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
66 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
67 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
68 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
69 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
70 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
72 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
73 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
74 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
75 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
76 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
77 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

91 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
92 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
94 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
96 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
98 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
100 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
101 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
103 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
104 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
105 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
106 up the user data based on getuid().
108 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
110 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
111 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
112 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
114 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
117 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

127 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
128 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
130 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
132 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
135 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
136 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
138 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
140 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
141 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
143 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
145 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
146 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
148 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
150 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
151 the IA64 implementation.
153 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
155 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
157 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
159 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
160 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
162 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
164 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
165 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
167 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
168 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
170 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
172 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
174 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
175 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
176 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
177 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
179 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
181 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
182 double-free base interface members.
184 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
186 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
188 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
190 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
192 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
194 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
197 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
198 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
199 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
200 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
201 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
202 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
204 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
207 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
209 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
211 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
214 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
216 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
218 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
219 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
220 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
221 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
222 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
224 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
225 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
227 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
229 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
232 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
234 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
235 G_STMT_END if it works.
237 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

243 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
246 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
248 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
249 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
251 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
253 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
254 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
255 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
256 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
258 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
260 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
261 removed GData node cache.
263 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
265 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
266 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
268 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
271 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
272 internal function which factors out common parts of
273 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
274 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
275 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
276 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
277 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
279 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
280 in the g_quarks array.
281 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
283 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
287 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
288 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
289 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
290 when refcount reaches 0.
291 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
292 g_hash_table_insert():
293 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
296 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
299 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
301 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
302 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)

321 * README.in: Updates.
325 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
326 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
327 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
328 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
331 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
332 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
334 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
335 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
336 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
341 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
342 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
344 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
346 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
347 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
349 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

360 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
362 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
363 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
365 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
367 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
368 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
370 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
372 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
373 in the LDADD for this test.
375 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
377 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
378 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
379 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
381 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
383 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
384 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
385 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
386 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
387 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
389 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
390 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
392 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
394 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
396 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
397 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
398 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
401 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
403 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
404 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
405 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
406 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
408 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
410 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
411 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
412 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
414 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
415 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
416 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
418 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
419 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
420 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
421 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
424 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
438 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
439 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
441 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
444 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
446 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
448 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
449 be used for poll rec lists.
451 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
452 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
453 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
454 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
455 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
456 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
458 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
460 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
461 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
463 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
464 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
466 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
468 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
470 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
473 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
476 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
478 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
479 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
481 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
483 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
484 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
485 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
486 the hash table. (#319232)
488 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
490 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
491 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
493 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
495 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
497 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
499 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
501 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
503 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
504 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
506 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
508 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
509 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
511 * glib/gunichartables.h:
513 * tests/casefold.txt:
514 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
515 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
518 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
520 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
521 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
524 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
525 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
526 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
527 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
529 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
531 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
532 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
534 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
536 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
538 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
539 (#316703, Mark Drago)
541 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
543 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
544 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
547 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
549 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
551 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
552 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
553 encodings like CP932.
555 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
557 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
559 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
560 of length 1. (#316309)
562 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
564 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
566 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
568 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
569 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
572 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
574 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
575 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
578 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
580 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
581 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
582 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
583 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
585 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
586 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
587 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
588 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
589 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
590 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
592 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
593 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
595 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
596 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
597 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
598 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
599 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
600 for the spawned console application).
602 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
604 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
606 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
607 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
609 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
610 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
612 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
614 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
615 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
617 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
618 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
619 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
620 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
621 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
622 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
624 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
625 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
626 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
627 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
630 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
634 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
636 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
638 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
641 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
643 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
645 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
647 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
648 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
649 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
650 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
651 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
652 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
653 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
656 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
657 g_spawn*() functions.
659 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
660 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
661 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
662 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
663 that take parameters in the system codepage.
665 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
666 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
667 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
668 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
669 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
670 need to have them permanently in the source.)
672 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
674 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
675 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
677 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
679 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
680 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
681 between signed and unsigned.
683 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
685 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
687 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
689 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
691 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
695 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
699 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
701 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
703 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
705 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
707 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
709 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
712 Optimise single-character insertions.
717 * tests/string-test.c:
718 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
720 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
722 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
724 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
725 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
727 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
729 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
730 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
731 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
732 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
733 Make use of these two throughout the code.
735 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
737 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
738 the child process and then simply return. This makes
739 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
740 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
742 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
743 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
745 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
746 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
748 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
749 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
750 in yet another section.
