3 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
6 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
7 internal function which factors out common parts of
8 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
9 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
10 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
11 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
12 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
14 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
15 in the g_quarks array.
16 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
18 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
22 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
23 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
24 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
25 when refcount reaches 0.
26 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
27 g_hash_table_insert():
28 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.

67 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
69 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
70 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
71 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
76 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
77 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
79 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
81 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

91 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
93 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
95 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
97 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
98 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
100 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
102 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
103 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
105 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
107 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
108 in the LDADD for this test.
110 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
112 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
113 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
114 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
116 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
118 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
119 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
120 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
121 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
122 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring

125 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
127 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
129 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
131 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
132 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
133 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
136 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
138 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
139 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
140 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
141 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
143 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
145 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
146 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
147 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
149 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
150 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
151 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
153 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
154 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
155 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
156 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
159 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
173 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
174 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
176 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
179 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
181 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
183 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
184 be used for poll rec lists.
186 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
187 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
188 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
189 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
190 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
191 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
193 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
195 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
196 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
198 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
199 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
201 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
203 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
205 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
207 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
208 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
211 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
213 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
214 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
216 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
218 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
219 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
220 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
221 the hash table. (#319232)
223 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
225 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
226 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
228 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
230 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
232 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
234 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
236 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
238 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
239 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
241 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
243 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
244 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
246 * glib/gunichartables.h:
248 * tests/casefold.txt:
249 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
250 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
253 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
255 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
256 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
259 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
260 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
261 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
262 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
264 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
266 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
267 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
269 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
271 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
273 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
274 (#316703, Mark Drago)
276 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
278 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
279 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
282 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
284 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
286 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
287 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
288 encodings like CP932.
290 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
292 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
294 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
295 of length 1. (#316309)
297 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
299 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
301 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
303 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
304 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
307 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
309 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
310 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
313 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
315 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
316 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
317 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
318 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
320 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
321 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
322 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
323 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
324 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
325 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
327 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
328 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
330 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
331 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
332 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
333 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
334 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
335 for the spawned console application).
337 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
339 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
341 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
342 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
344 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
345 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
347 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
349 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
350 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
352 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
353 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
354 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
355 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
356 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
357 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
359 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
360 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
361 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
362 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
365 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
369 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
371 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
373 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
376 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
378 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
380 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
382 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
383 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
384 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
385 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
386 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
387 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
388 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
391 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
392 g_spawn*() functions.
394 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
395 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
396 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
397 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
398 that take parameters in the system codepage.
400 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
401 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
402 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
403 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
404 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
405 need to have them permanently in the source.)
407 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
409 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
410 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
412 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
414 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
415 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
416 between signed and unsigned.
418 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
420 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
422 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
424 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
426 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
430 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
434 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
436 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
438 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
440 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
442 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
444 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
447 Optimise single-character insertions.
452 * tests/string-test.c:
453 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
455 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
457 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
459 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
460 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
462 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
464 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
465 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
466 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
467 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
468 Make use of these two throughout the code.
470 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
473 the child process and then simply return. This makes
474 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
475 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
477 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
478 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
480 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
481 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
483 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
484 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
485 in yet another section.
