10 Bug 553724 – python interpretter path not patched in correctly
12 * glib/Makefile.am: Fix the sed magic to replace python.
14 2008-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
16 * glib/gmain.c: Add some more docs.
18 * glib/giochannel.c: Move more docs inline, and improve them

23 Bug 553820 - gpoll.c: undeclared identifier
26 * glib/gpoll.c: Make the g_poll() function non-static also on
27 Windows. Prefix an underscore to the g_main_poll_debug variable
28 and make it non-static in gmain.c so that it can be used in
29 gpoll.c. Add back missing variable declaration.

33 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes) (do_spawn_directly):
34 Just ignore the child_setup function, never call it. The is no
35 situation in which it could be useful on Windows. Do print a
38 * glib/gspawn.c (g_spawn_async_with_pipes): Corresponding change

43 Be a little more explcit in the docs. Includes Owen's requested
46 * glib/gmain.c: improved documentation for g_source_attach() and

51 * glib/glib.h: #include <glib/gpoll.h>
53 * glib/gpoll.h: #error out if gpoll.h is included directly.
55 * glib/gpoll.c: remove trailing whitespace.
57 2008-09-23 Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org>
59 * glib/gpoll.[ch] (g_poll): Move this out of gmain.c and make it part
60 of the public API. (Part of Bug 505361 - gunixinputstream.c assumes

65 * glib/gmain.c (poll_rest) [Win32]: Fix embarrassing bug: I was
66 passing an incorrect third parameter to memmove(), had forgotten
67 to multiply by the size of the table entry. Just use a for loop
68 instead, clearer. Odd I didn't notice when testing this code.

72 Rewrite most of GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic
73 probing instead of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory
74 fragmentation significantly, while being slightly faster due to
75 better locality and no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes.
76 Benchmarks suggest it also uses less memory overall.
78 * glib/ghash.c (prime_mod): Table of suitable primes for
79 initial-probe distribution.
80 (g_hash_table_set_shift): New function.
81 (g_hash_table_find_closest_shift): New function.
82 (g_hash_table_set_shift_from_size): New function.
83 (g_hash_table_lookup_node_for_insertion): New function.
84 (g_hash_table_lookup_node): Rewritten to return node index instead of
85 pointer, use quadratic probe on flat table, and not return insertion
86 data. The latter saves some computation for read-only lookups.
87 (g_hash_table_remove_node): Rewrite to take a pointer directly to the
88 node structure to remove, and clear that. Remove unlinking code.
89 (g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes): Rewrite to not clear nodes
90 individually, but en masse using memset () after potentially calling
92 (iter_remove_or_steal): Use new data structure and algorithm. Vastly
93 simplified - now just a call to g_hash_table_remove_node ().
94 (g_hash_table_resize): New resize code, re-indexing with new prime
95 and cleaning up tombstones.
96 (g_hash_table_maybe_resize): Table may hold 8 buckets minimum, no less
97 than 1/4 load excluding tombstones, and no more than 15/16 load
98 including tombstones. These numbers are the results of a lot of
99 benchmarking with multiple complex applications, and should not be

107 (g_hash_table_foreach)
109 (g_hash_table_get_keys)
110 (g_hash_table_get_values): Use new data structure and algorithm,
111 fairly trivial changes.

115 * glib-zip.in: Look for man pages in share/man.
117 * glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_dll_directory)
118 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_with_pipes): Be a bit less
119 restrictive, look for the helper programs in the same folder where
120 the GLib DLL is, not necessarily in a "bin" subfolder of the top
121 GLib installation folder.
123 2008-09-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
125 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.19.0
127 * ChangeLog.pre-2-18: rotate ChangeLog
