6 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
7 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
10 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
11 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
12 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

17 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
18 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
21 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
22 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
23 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
24 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.

28 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
29 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
32 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
34 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
35 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
37 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
39 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
40 to override any user settings.
42 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
44 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
46 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

74 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
75 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
77 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
79 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
80 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
81 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
82 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
83 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
85 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
86 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
87 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
88 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
89 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
90 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

104 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
105 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
107 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
109 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
111 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
113 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
114 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
116 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
117 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
118 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
119 up the user data based on getuid().
121 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
123 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
124 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
125 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)

168 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
170 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
172 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
173 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
175 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
177 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
178 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
180 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
181 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
183 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
185 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
187 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
188 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
189 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
190 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
192 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
194 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
195 double-free base interface members.
197 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
199 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
201 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
203 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
205 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
207 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
210 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
211 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
212 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
213 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
214 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
215 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
217 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
220 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
222 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
224 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
227 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
229 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
231 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
232 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
233 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
234 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
235 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
237 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
238 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
240 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
242 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
245 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.

261 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
262 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
264 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
266 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
267 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
268 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
269 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
271 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
273 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
274 removed GData node cache.

278 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
279 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
281 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
284 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
285 internal function which factors out common parts of
286 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
287 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
288 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
289 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
290 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
292 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
293 in the g_quarks array.
294 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
296 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
300 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
301 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
302 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
303 when refcount reaches 0.

305 g_hash_table_insert():
306 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.

355 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
357 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

376 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
378 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
380 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref

383 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
385 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
386 in the LDADD for this test.
388 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
390 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
391 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
392 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
394 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
396 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
397 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
398 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
399 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
400 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring

410 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
411 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
414 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
416 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
417 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
418 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
419 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
421 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
423 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
424 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
425 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
427 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
428 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
429 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
431 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
432 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
433 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
434 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
437 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
451 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
452 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
454 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
457 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
459 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
461 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
462 be used for poll rec lists.
464 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
465 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
466 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
467 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
468 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
469 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
471 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
473 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
474 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
476 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
477 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.

483 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
485 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
486 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
489 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
491 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
492 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
494 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
496 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
497 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
498 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
499 the hash table. (#319232)
501 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
503 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
504 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
506 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
508 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
510 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
512 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
514 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
516 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
517 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
519 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
521 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
522 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
524 * glib/gunichartables.h:
526 * tests/casefold.txt:
527 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
528 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
531 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
533 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
534 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
537 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
538 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
539 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
540 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
542 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
544 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
545 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
547 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
549 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
551 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
552 (#316703, Mark Drago)
554 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
556 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
557 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
560 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
562 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
564 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
565 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
566 encodings like CP932.
568 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
570 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.

585 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
587 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
588 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
591 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
593 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
594 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
595 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
596 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
598 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
599 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
600 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
601 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
602 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
603 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
605 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
606 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
608 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
609 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
610 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
611 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
612 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
613 for the spawned console application).
615 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
617 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
619 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
620 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
622 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
623 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
625 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
627 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
628 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
630 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
631 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
632 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
633 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
634 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
635 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
637 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
638 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
639 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
640 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
643 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
647 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
649 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
651 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
654 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
656 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
658 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
660 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
661 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
662 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
663 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
664 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
665 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
666 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
669 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
670 g_spawn*() functions.
672 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
673 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
674 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
675 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
676 that take parameters in the system codepage.
678 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
679 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
680 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
681 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
682 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
683 need to have them permanently in the source.)
685 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
687 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
688 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
690 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
692 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
693 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
694 between signed and unsigned.
696 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
698 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
700 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
702 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
704 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
708 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
712 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
714 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
716 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
718 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
720 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
722 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
725 Optimise single-character insertions.
730 * tests/string-test.c:
731 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
733 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
735 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
737 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
738 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
740 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
742 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
743 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
744 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
745 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
746 Make use of these two throughout the code.
748 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
750 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
751 the child process and then simply return. This makes
752 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
753 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
755 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
756 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
758 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
759 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
761 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
762 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
763 in yet another section.
