22 the wide character API on NT-based Windows. Return UTF-8 strings.
24 * glib/glib.symbols: Don't mark g_listenv as PRIVATE, as that
25 meant it wasn't present in the import library. PRIVATE is used
26 only for the backwards-compatibility DLL ABI stability hacks.

83 * glib/gslice.c: only define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to get at
84 posix_memalign() in case we actually are going to use it, because
85 we detected a compliant implementation (#328997).
87 * configure.in (enable_included_printf): don't include malloc.h when
88 testing for posix_memalign() funcitonality, since this may break the

206 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
207 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
208 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
212 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
213 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
214 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

229 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
231 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
232 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
233 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
234 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
235 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
236 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
237 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
239 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
240 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

439 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
441 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
443 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
444 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
445 setup when the error occours.
446 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
447 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
448 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
449 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
450 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
451 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
452 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
453 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
454 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
455 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
456 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
458 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
460 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
461 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

470 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
471 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
472 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
473 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
474 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
475 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
477 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
479 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
480 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
481 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
483 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
485 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
486 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
487 write memory barrier.

580 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
582 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
584 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
585 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
586 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
587 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
588 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
590 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
591 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
592 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
593 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
594 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
595 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

616 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
618 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
619 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
621 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
622 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
623 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
624 up the user data based on getuid().
626 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
628 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
629 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
630 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
632 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
635 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
638 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
641 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
644 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
645 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
646 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
648 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
650 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
653 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
654 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
656 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
658 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
659 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
661 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
663 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
664 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
666 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
668 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
669 the IA64 implementation.
671 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
673 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
675 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
677 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
678 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
680 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
682 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
683 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
685 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
686 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
688 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
690 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
692 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
693 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
694 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
695 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
697 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
699 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
700 double-free base interface members.
702 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
704 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
706 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
708 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
710 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
712 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
715 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
716 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
717 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
718 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
719 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
720 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
722 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
725 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
727 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
729 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
732 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
734 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
736 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
737 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
738 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
739 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
740 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
742 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
743 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
745 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
747 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
750 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
752 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
753 G_STMT_END if it works.
755 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
757 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):
758 * glib/gnode.c (g_node_depth_traverse_level):
759 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new):
760 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
761 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
764 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
766 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
767 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
769 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
771 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
772 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
773 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
774 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
776 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
778 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
779 removed GData node cache.
781 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
783 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
784 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
786 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
789 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
790 internal function which factors out common parts of
791 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
792 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
793 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
794 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
795 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
797 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
798 in the g_quarks array.
799 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
801 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
805 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
806 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
807 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
808 when refcount reaches 0.
809 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
810 g_hash_table_insert():
811 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
814 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
817 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
819 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
820 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
822 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
824 * configure.in: Bump version
826 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

837 * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api.
839 * README.in: Updates.
843 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
844 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
845 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
846 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
849 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
850 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
852 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
853 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
854 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
859 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
860 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
862 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
864 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
865 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
867 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
869 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
870 category value against multiple values.
872 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
874 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
876 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
878 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
880 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
881 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
883 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
885 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
886 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
888 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
890 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
891 in the LDADD for this test.
893 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
895 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
896 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
897 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
899 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
901 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
902 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
903 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
904 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
905 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
907 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
908 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
910 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
912 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
914 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
915 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
916 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
919 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
921 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
922 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
923 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
924 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
926 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
928 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
929 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
930 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
932 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
933 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
934 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
936 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
937 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
938 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
939 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
942 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
956 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
957 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
959 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
962 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
964 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
966 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
967 be used for poll rec lists.
969 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
970 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
971 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
972 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
973 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
974 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
976 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
978 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
979 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
981 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
982 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
984 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
986 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
988 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
990 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
991 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
994 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
996 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
997 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
999 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1001 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
1002 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
1003 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
1004 the hash table. (#319232)
1006 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1008 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
1009 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
1011 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1013 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
1015 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
1017 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
1019 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
1021 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
1022 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
1024 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
1026 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
1027 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
1029 * glib/gunichartables.h:
1031 * tests/casefold.txt:
1032 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
1033 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
1036 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1038 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
1039 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
1041 * glib/glib.symbols:
1042 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
1043 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
1044 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
1045 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
1047 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1049 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
1050 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
1052 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
1054 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1056 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
1057 (#316703, Mark Drago)
1059 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1061 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
1062 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
1065 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
1067 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1069 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
1070 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
1071 encodings like CP932.
1073 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1075 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
1077 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
1078 of length 1. (#316309)
1080 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1082 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
1084 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
1086 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
1087 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
1090 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
1092 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
1093 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
1096 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1098 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
1099 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1100 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
1101 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
1103 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1104 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1105 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1106 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1107 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1108 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1110 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1111 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1113 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1114 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1115 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1116 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1117 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1118 for the spawned console application).
1120 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1122 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1124 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1125 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1127 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1128 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1130 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1132 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1133 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1135 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1136 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1137 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1138 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1139 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1140 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1142 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1143 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1144 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1145 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1148 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1150 * glib/glib.symbols:
1152 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1154 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1156 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1159 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1161 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1163 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1165 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1166 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1167 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1168 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1169 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1170 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1171 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1174 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1175 g_spawn*() functions.
1177 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1178 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1179 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1180 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1181 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1183 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1184 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1185 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1186 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1187 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1188 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1190 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1192 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1193 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1195 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1197 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1198 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1199 between signed and unsigned.
1201 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1203 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1205 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1207 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1209 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1213 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1217 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
1219 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
1221 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1223 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
1225 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
1227 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1230 Optimise single-character insertions.
1235 * tests/string-test.c:
1236 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1238 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1240 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1242 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1243 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1245 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1247 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1248 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1249 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1250 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1251 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1253 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1255 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1256 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1257 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1258 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1260 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1261 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1263 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1264 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1266 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1267 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1268 in yet another section.
