131 Tue Feb 14 17:00:43 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
133 * glib/gslice.c: only define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to get at
134 posix_memalign() in case we actually are going to use it, because
135 we detected a compliant implementation (#328997).
137 * configure.in (enable_included_printf): don't include malloc.h when
138 testing for posix_memalign() funcitonality, since this may break the

254 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
256 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
257 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
258 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
262 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
263 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
264 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

282 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
283 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
284 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
285 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
286 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
287 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
289 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
290 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

491 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
493 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
494 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
495 setup when the error occours.
496 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
497 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
498 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
499 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
500 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
501 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
502 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
503 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
504 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
505 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
506 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
508 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
510 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
511 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

520 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
521 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
522 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
523 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
524 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
525 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
527 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
529 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
530 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
531 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
533 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
535 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
536 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
537 write memory barrier.

612 * glib/gmem.h: Really deprecate GMemChunk.
619 * glib/gstrfuncs.c: Add versioned deprecation docs.
621 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
623 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
624 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
625 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
626 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
629 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
630 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
632 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
634 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
635 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
636 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
637 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
638 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
640 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
641 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
642 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
643 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
644 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
645 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
650 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/
652 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
654 * glib/gasyncqueue.c: Add some docs.
656 * tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c: Fix compiler warnings.
658 * glib/gatomic.c: In the ia64 implementation, use
659 __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229,
660 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
662 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
664 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
666 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
668 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
669 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
671 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
672 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
673 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
674 up the user data based on getuid().
676 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
678 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
679 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
680 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
682 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
685 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
688 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
691 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
694 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
695 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
696 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
698 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
700 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
703 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
704 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
706 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
708 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
709 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
711 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
713 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
714 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
716 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
718 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
719 the IA64 implementation.
721 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
723 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
725 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
727 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
728 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
730 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
732 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
733 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
735 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
736 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
738 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
740 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
742 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
743 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
744 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
745 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
747 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
749 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
750 double-free base interface members.
752 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
754 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
756 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
758 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
760 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
762 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
765 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
766 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
767 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
768 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
769 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
770 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
772 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
775 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
777 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
779 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
782 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
784 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
786 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
787 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
788 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
789 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
790 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
792 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
793 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
795 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
797 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
800 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
802 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
803 G_STMT_END if it works.
805 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
807 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):
808 * glib/gnode.c (g_node_depth_traverse_level):
809 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new):
810 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
811 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
814 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
816 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
817 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
819 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
821 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
822 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
823 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
824 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
826 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
828 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
829 removed GData node cache.
831 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
833 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
834 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
836 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
839 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
840 internal function which factors out common parts of
841 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
842 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
843 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
844 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
845 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
847 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
848 in the g_quarks array.
849 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
851 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
855 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
856 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
857 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
858 when refcount reaches 0.
859 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
860 g_hash_table_insert():
861 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
864 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
867 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
869 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
870 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
872 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
874 * configure.in: Bump version
876 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
878 * === Released 2.9.0 ===
880 * glib/glib.symbols: Updates
882 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Add some performance
883 hints to the docs. (Paolo Borelli)
887 * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api.
889 * README.in: Updates.
893 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
894 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
895 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
896 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
899 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
900 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
902 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
903 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
904 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
909 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
910 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
912 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
914 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
915 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
917 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
919 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
920 category value against multiple values.
922 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
924 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
926 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
928 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
930 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
931 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
933 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
935 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
936 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
938 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
940 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
941 in the LDADD for this test.
943 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
945 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
946 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
947 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
949 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
951 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
952 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
953 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
954 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
955 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
957 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
958 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
960 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
962 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
964 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
965 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
966 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
969 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
971 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
972 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
973 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
974 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
976 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
978 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
979 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
980 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
982 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
983 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
984 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
986 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
987 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
988 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
989 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
992 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
1006 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
1007 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
1009 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
1012 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
1014 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
1016 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
1017 be used for poll rec lists.
1019 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
1020 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
1021 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
1022 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
1023 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
1024 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
1026 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1028 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
1029 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
1031 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
1032 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
1034 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
1036 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
1038 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1040 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
1041 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
1044 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
1046 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
1047 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
1049 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1051 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
1052 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
1053 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
1054 the hash table. (#319232)
1056 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1058 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
1059 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
1061 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1063 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
1065 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
1067 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
1069 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
1071 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
1072 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
1074 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
1076 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
1077 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
1079 * glib/gunichartables.h:
1081 * tests/casefold.txt:
1082 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
1083 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
1086 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1088 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
1089 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
1091 * glib/glib.symbols:
1092 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
1093 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
1094 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
1095 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
1097 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1099 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
1100 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
1102 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
1104 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1106 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
1107 (#316703, Mark Drago)
1109 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1111 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
1112 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
1115 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
1117 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1119 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
1120 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
1121 encodings like CP932.
1123 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1125 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
1127 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
1128 of length 1. (#316309)
1130 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1132 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
1134 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
1136 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
1137 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
1140 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
1142 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
1143 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
1146 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1148 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
1149 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1150 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
1151 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
1153 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1154 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1155 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1156 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1157 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1158 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1160 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1161 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1163 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1164 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1165 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1166 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1167 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1168 for the spawned console application).
1170 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1172 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1174 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1175 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1177 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1178 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1180 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1182 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1183 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1185 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1186 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1187 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1188 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1189 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1190 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1192 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1193 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1194 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1195 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules

1200 * glib/glib.symbols:
1202 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1204 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1206 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1209 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1211 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1213 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1215 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1216 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1217 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1218 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1219 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1220 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1221 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1224 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1225 g_spawn*() functions.
1227 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1228 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1229 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1230 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1231 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1233 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1234 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1235 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1236 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1237 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1238 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1240 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1242 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1243 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1245 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1247 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1248 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1249 between signed and unsigned.
1251 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1253 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1255 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1257 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1259 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1263 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1267 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
1269 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
1271 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1273 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
1275 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
1277 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1280 Optimise single-character insertions.
1285 * tests/string-test.c:
1286 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1288 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1290 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1292 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1293 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1295 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1297 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1298 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1299 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1300 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1301 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1303 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1305 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1306 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1307 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1308 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1310 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1311 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1313 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1314 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1316 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1317 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1318 in yet another section.
