1 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
3 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
5 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
7 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
8 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
10 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
12 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
13 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
15 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
16 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
18 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
20 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
22 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
23 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
24 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
25 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
27 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
29 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
30 double-free base interface members.
32 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
34 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
36 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
38 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
40 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
45 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
46 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
47 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
48 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
49 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
50 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
52 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
55 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
57 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
59 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
62 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
64 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
66 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
67 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
68 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
69 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
70 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
72 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
73 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
75 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
77 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
80 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
82 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
83 G_STMT_END if it works.
85 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
87 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

89 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new):
90 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
91 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
94 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
96 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
97 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
99 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
101 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
102 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
103 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
104 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
106 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
108 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
109 removed GData node cache.
111 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
113 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
114 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
116 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
119 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
120 internal function which factors out common parts of
121 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
122 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
123 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
124 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
125 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
127 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
128 in the g_quarks array.
129 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
131 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
135 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
136 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
137 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
138 when refcount reaches 0.
139 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
140 g_hash_table_insert():
141 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
144 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
147 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
149 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
150 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
152 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
154 * configure.in: Bump version
156 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
158 * === Released 2.9.0 ===
160 * glib/glib.symbols: Updates
162 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Add some performance
163 hints to the docs. (Paolo Borelli)
167 * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api.
169 * README.in: Updates.
173 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
174 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
175 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
176 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
179 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
180 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
182 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
183 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
184 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
189 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
190 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
192 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
194 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
195 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
197 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
199 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
200 category value against multiple values.
202 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
204 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
206 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
208 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
210 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
211 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
213 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
215 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
216 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
218 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
220 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
221 in the LDADD for this test.
223 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
225 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
226 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
227 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
229 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
231 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
232 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
233 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
234 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
235 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
237 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
238 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
240 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
242 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
244 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
245 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
246 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
249 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
251 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
252 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
253 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
254 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
256 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
258 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
259 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
260 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
262 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
263 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
264 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
266 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
267 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
268 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
269 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
272 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
286 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
287 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
289 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
292 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
294 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
296 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
297 be used for poll rec lists.
299 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
300 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
301 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
302 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
303 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
304 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
306 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
308 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
309 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
311 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
312 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
314 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
316 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
318 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
320 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
321 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
324 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
326 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
327 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
329 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
331 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
332 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
333 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
334 the hash table. (#319232)
336 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
338 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
339 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
341 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
343 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
345 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
347 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
349 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
351 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
352 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
354 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
356 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
357 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
359 * glib/gunichartables.h:
361 * tests/casefold.txt:
362 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
363 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
366 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
368 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
369 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
372 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
373 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
374 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
375 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
377 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
379 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
380 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
382 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
384 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
386 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
387 (#316703, Mark Drago)
389 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
391 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
392 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
395 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
397 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
399 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
400 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
401 encodings like CP932.
403 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
405 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
407 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
408 of length 1. (#316309)
410 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
412 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
414 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
416 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
417 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
420 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
422 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
423 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
426 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
428 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
429 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
430 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
431 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
433 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
434 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
435 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
436 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
437 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
438 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
440 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
441 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
443 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
444 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
445 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
446 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
447 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
448 for the spawned console application).
450 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
452 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
454 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
455 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
457 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
458 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
460 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
462 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
463 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
465 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
466 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
467 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
468 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
469 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
470 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
472 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
473 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
474 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
475 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
478 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
482 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
484 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
486 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
489 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
491 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
493 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
495 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
496 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
497 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
498 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
499 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
500 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
501 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
504 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
505 g_spawn*() functions.
507 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
508 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
509 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
510 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
511 that take parameters in the system codepage.
513 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
514 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
515 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
516 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
517 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
518 need to have them permanently in the source.)
520 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
522 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
523 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
525 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
527 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
528 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
529 between signed and unsigned.
531 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
533 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
535 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
537 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
539 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
543 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
547 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
549 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
551 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
553 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
555 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
557 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
560 Optimise single-character insertions.
565 * tests/string-test.c:
566 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
568 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
570 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
572 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
573 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
575 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
577 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
578 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
579 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
580 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
581 Make use of these two throughout the code.
583 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
585 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
586 the child process and then simply return. This makes
587 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
