3 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
4 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
5 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
6 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
7 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
8 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
9 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
11 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
12 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

209 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
211 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
213 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
215 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
216 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
217 setup when the error occours.
218 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
219 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
220 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
221 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
222 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
223 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
224 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
225 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
226 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
227 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
228 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
230 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
232 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
233 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
235 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

242 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
243 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
244 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
245 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
246 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
247 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
249 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
251 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
252 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
253 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
255 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
257 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
258 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
259 write memory barrier.
261 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

280 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
281 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
282 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
283 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
284 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
287 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
288 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
289 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

294 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
295 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
298 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
299 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
300 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
301 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
303 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
305 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
306 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
309 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
311 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
312 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
314 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
316 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
317 to override any user settings.

345 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
346 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
347 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
348 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
351 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
352 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
354 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
356 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
357 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
358 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
359 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
360 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
362 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
363 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
364 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
365 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
366 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
367 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

388 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
390 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
391 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
393 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
394 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
395 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
396 up the user data based on getuid().
398 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
400 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
401 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
402 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
404 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

450 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
452 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
454 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
455 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
457 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
458 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
460 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
462 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
464 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
465 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
466 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
467 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.

472 double-free base interface members.
474 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
476 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
478 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
480 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
482 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
484 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
487 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
488 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
489 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
490 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
491 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
492 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
494 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
497 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
499 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
501 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
504 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
506 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
508 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
509 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
510 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
511 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
512 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
514 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
515 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

541 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
543 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
544 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
545 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
546 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
548 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>

624 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
625 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
626 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
631 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
632 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
634 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
636 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

639 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
641 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
642 category value against multiple values.

650 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
652 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
653 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
655 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
657 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
658 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
660 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
662 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
663 in the LDADD for this test.
665 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
667 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
668 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
669 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
671 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
673 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
674 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
675 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
676 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
677 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
679 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
680 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
682 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
684 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
686 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
687 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
688 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
691 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
693 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
694 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
695 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
696 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
698 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
700 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
701 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
702 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
704 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
705 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
706 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
708 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
709 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
710 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
711 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
714 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
728 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
729 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
731 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
734 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
736 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
738 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
739 be used for poll rec lists.
741 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
742 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
743 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
744 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
745 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
746 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
748 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
750 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
751 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
753 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
754 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
756 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
758 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
760 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
762 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
763 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
766 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
768 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
769 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
771 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
773 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
774 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
775 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
776 the hash table. (#319232)
778 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
780 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
781 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
783 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
785 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
787 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
789 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
791 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
793 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
794 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
796 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
798 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
799 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
801 * glib/gunichartables.h:
803 * tests/casefold.txt:
804 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
805 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
808 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
810 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
811 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
814 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
815 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
816 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
817 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
819 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
821 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
822 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
824 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
826 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
828 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
829 (#316703, Mark Drago)
831 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
833 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
834 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
837 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
839 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
841 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
842 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
843 encodings like CP932.
845 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
847 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
849 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
850 of length 1. (#316309)
852 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
854 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
856 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
858 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
859 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
862 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
864 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
865 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
868 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
870 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
871 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
872 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
873 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
875 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
876 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
877 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
878 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
879 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
880 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
882 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
883 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
885 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
886 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
887 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
888 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
889 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
890 for the spawned console application).
892 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
894 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
896 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
897 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
899 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
900 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
902 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
904 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
905 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
907 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
908 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
909 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
910 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
911 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
912 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
914 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
915 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
916 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
917 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
920 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
924 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
926 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
928 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
931 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
933 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
935 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
937 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
938 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
939 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
940 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
941 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
942 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
943 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
946 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
947 g_spawn*() functions.
949 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
950 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
951 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
952 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
953 that take parameters in the system codepage.
955 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
956 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
957 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
958 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
959 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
960 need to have them permanently in the source.)
962 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
964 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
965 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
967 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
969 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
970 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
971 between signed and unsigned.
973 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
975 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
977 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
979 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
981 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
985 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
989 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
991 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
993 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
995 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
997 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
999 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1002 Optimise single-character insertions.
1007 * tests/string-test.c:
1008 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1010 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1012 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1014 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1015 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1017 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1019 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1020 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1021 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1022 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1023 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1025 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1027 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1028 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1029 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1030 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1032 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1033 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1035 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1036 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1038 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1039 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1040 in yet another section.
