3 * configure.in: Change the shared libary extension for hpux-ia64
4 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
6 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
8 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
9 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
12 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
14 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
15 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
16 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
20 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
21 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
22 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.
24 2006-01-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
28 * === Released 2.9.4 ===
32 2006-01-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
34 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_get_groups): Correct a g_new0()
35 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
37 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
39 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
40 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
41 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
42 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
43 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
44 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
45 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
47 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
48 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

65 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
67 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
69 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
70 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
71 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
72 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
73 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
75 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

136 2006-01-04 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
139 * glib/gstdio.h: don't macroized g_access, g_chdir, and g_unlink
140 either, since they have the same issue as g_rmdir. (Related to

151 * configure.in: Added "ml" "zh_HK" to ALL_LINGUAS.
153 2006-01-03 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
155 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
157 * glib/gthreadpool.[ch]:
158 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
159 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
161 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
162 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with
163 no sorting and a thread pool with idle thread timeouts.

174 to determine if the current thread is the owner of the
177 2006-01-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
181 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
182 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
183 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
185 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
187 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
188 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
189 will try to read from them regardless whether the
190 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
191 readability or not. (#325310)
193 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
195 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
196 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
198 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
200 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
201 make sure we really override things.
203 2005-12-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
205 Fix #316221, Michal Benes, Stanislav Brabec;
207 * configure.in: Fix a strict aliasing problem in

213 warnings. (#321978, Andrew Paprocki)
215 Partial fix for bug #323937, Bogdan Nicula.
217 * configure.in: Check for malloc.h
218 * glib/gslice.c: Don't include malloc.h unconditionally.
220 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

240 2005-12-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
243 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
244 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
245 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
247 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
249 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
251 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
252 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
253 setup when the error occours.
254 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
255 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
256 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
257 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
258 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
259 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
260 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
261 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
262 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
263 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
264 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
266 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
268 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
269 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
271 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
273 * glib/goption.c (parse_short_option): Set an error in all
274 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
276 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
278 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
279 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
280 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
281 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
282 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
283 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
285 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
287 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
288 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
289 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
291 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
293 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
294 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
295 write memory barrier.
297 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
299 * configure.in: Bump version
301 * === Released 2.9.1 ===

314 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
316 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
317 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
318 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
319 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
320 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
323 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
324 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
325 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
327 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
329 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
330 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
331 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
334 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
335 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
336 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
337 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
339 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
341 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
342 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
345 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
347 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
348 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
350 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
352 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
353 to override any user settings.
355 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
357 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
359 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
361 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
363 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
364 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
365 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

368 in en_US locale. (#320463)
370 * glib/gmem.h: Really deprecate GMemChunk.
377 * glib/gstrfuncs.c: Add versioned deprecation docs.
379 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
381 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
382 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
383 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
384 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
387 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
388 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
390 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
392 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
393 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
394 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
395 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
396 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
398 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
399 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
400 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
401 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
402 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
403 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
408 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

420 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
422 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
424 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
426 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
427 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
429 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
430 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
431 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
432 up the user data based on getuid().
434 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
436 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
437 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
438 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
440 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
443 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
446 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
449 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
452 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
453 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
454 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
456 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
458 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
461 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
462 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
464 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
466 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
467 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
469 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
471 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
472 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
474 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
476 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
477 the IA64 implementation.
479 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
481 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
483 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
485 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
486 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
488 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
490 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
491 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
493 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
494 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
496 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
498 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
500 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
501 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
502 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
503 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
505 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
507 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
508 double-free base interface members.
510 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
512 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
514 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
516 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
518 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
520 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
523 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
524 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
525 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
526 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
527 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
528 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
530 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
533 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
535 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
537 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
540 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
542 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
544 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
545 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
546 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
547 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
548 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
550 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
551 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

575 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
577 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
579 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
580 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
581 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
582 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
584 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
586 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
587 removed GData node cache.

591 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
592 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
594 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
597 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
598 internal function which factors out common parts of
599 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
600 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):

602 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
603 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
605 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
606 in the g_quarks array.
607 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.

613 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
614 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
615 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
616 when refcount reaches 0.
617 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
618 g_hash_table_insert():
619 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.

661 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
662 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
667 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
668 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
670 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
672 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

686 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
688 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
689 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
691 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
693 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
694 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
696 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
698 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
699 in the LDADD for this test.
701 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
703 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
704 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
705 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
707 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
709 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
710 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
711 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
712 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
713 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
715 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
716 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
718 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
720 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
722 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
723 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
724 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
727 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
729 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
730 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
731 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
732 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
734 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
736 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
737 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
738 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
740 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
741 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
742 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
744 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
745 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
746 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
747 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
750 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
764 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
765 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
767 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
770 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
772 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
774 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
775 be used for poll rec lists.
777 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
778 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
779 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
780 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
781 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
782 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
784 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
786 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
787 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
789 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
790 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
792 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
794 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
796 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
798 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
799 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
802 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
804 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
805 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
807 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
809 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
810 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
811 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
812 the hash table. (#319232)
814 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
816 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
817 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
819 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
821 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
823 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
825 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
827 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
829 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
830 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
832 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
834 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
835 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
837 * glib/gunichartables.h:
839 * tests/casefold.txt:
840 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
841 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
844 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
846 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
847 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
850 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
851 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
852 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
853 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
855 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
857 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
858 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
860 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
862 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
864 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
865 (#316703, Mark Drago)
867 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
869 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
870 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
873 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
875 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
877 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
878 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
879 encodings like CP932.
881 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
883 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
885 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
886 of length 1. (#316309)
888 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
890 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
892 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
894 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
895 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
898 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
900 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
901 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
904 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
906 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
907 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
908 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
909 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
911 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
912 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
913 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
914 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
915 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
916 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
918 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
919 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
921 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
922 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
923 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
924 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
925 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
926 for the spawned console application).
928 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
930 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
932 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
933 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
935 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
936 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
938 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
940 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
941 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
943 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
944 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
945 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
946 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
947 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
948 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
950 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
951 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
952 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
953 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
956 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
960 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
962 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
964 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
967 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
969 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
971 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
973 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
974 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
975 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
976 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
977 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
978 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
979 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
982 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
983 g_spawn*() functions.
985 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
986 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
987 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
988 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
989 that take parameters in the system codepage.
991 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
992 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
993 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
994 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
995 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
996 need to have them permanently in the source.)
998 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1000 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1001 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1003 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1005 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1006 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1007 between signed and unsigned.
1009 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1011 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1013 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1015 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1017 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1021 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1025 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
1027 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
1029 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1031 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
1033 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
1035 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1038 Optimise single-character insertions.
1043 * tests/string-test.c:
1044 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1046 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1048 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1050 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1051 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1053 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1055 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1056 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1057 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1058 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1059 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1061 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1063 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1064 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1065 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1066 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1068 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1069 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1071 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1072 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1074 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1075 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1076 in yet another section.
